Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

x - y = 2 ...........(1)

x2 - y2 = 8 ........... (2)

x - 2 = y ............ (3)

Put y = x -2 in (2)

x2 - (x - 2)2 = 8

x2 - (x2 - 4x + 4) = 8

x2 - x2 + 4x - 4 = 8

4x = 8 + 4 = 12

x = \(\frac{12}{4}\)

= 3

from (3), y = 3 - 2 = 1

therefore, x = 3, y = 1
