The set of value of x and y which satisfies the equations x
2 - y - 1 = 0 and y - 2x + 2 = 0 is
-
A.
1, 0
-
B.
1, 1
-
C.
2, 2
-
D.
0, 2
-
E.
1, 2
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
x2 - y - 1 = 0.......(i)
y - 2x + 2 = 0......(ii)
By re-arranging eqn. (ii)
y = 2x - 2........(iii)
Subst. eqn. (iii) in eqn (i)
x2 - (2x - 2) - 1 = 0
x2 - 2x + 1 = 0
= (x - 1) = 0
When x - 1 = 0
x = 1
Sub. for x = 1 in eqn. (iii)
y = 2 - 2 = 0
x = 1, y = 0
