MCQ
If $\left[\begin{array}{cc}x+3 & 4 \\ y-4 & x+y\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}5 & 4 \\ 3 & 9\end{array}\right]$ then the values of $x$ and $y$ are
  • $x=2, y=7$
  • B
    $x=7, y=2$
  • C
    $x=3, y=6$
  • D
    $x=-2, y=7$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$x=2, y=7$
$
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
x+3 & 4 \\
y-4 & x+y
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}
5 & 4 \\
3 & 9
\end{array}\right]
$
Comparing we get
$
\begin{aligned}
& x+3=5 \\
& \Rightarrow x=5-3=2
\end{aligned}
$
and
$
\begin{aligned}
& y-4=3 \\
& \Rightarrow y=3+4=7 \\
& x=2, y=7
\end{aligned}
