MCQ
The solution of the equations $x - y = 2$ and $x + y = 4$ is :
  • $3$ and $1$
  • B
    $4$ and $3$
  • C
    $5$ and $1$
  • D
    $-1$ and $-3$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3$ and $1$
$x - y = 2, x = 2 + y$ Substituting the value of $x$ in the second equation
we get $2 + y + y = 4$
$2 + 2y = 4$
$2y = 2$
$y = 1$
Now putting the value of $y,$ we get,
$x = 2 + 1 = 3$
The solutions are $x = 3$ and $y = 1$.
