MCQ
If $29x + 37y = 103$ and $37x + 29y = 95$ then :
  • $x = 1, y = 2$
  • B
    $x = 2, y = 1$
  • C
    $x = 2, y = 3$
  • D
    $x = 3, y = 2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$x = 1, y = 2$
$29x + 37y = 103 ...... (i)$
$37x + 29y = 95 ...... (ii)$
Adding $(i)$ and $(ii),$
we get $66 (x + y) = 198$
$\Rightarrow x + y = 3.$
Subtracting $(ii)$ from $(i),$
we get $8 (y - x) = 8$
$\Rightarrow y - x = 1.$
Solve above equations we get
$x = 1, y = 2.$
