  • Question
  • 3x + 2y = 12 and xy = 6, them the value of 9x2 + 4y2 is?


  • Options
  • A. 76
  • B. 80
  • C. 72
  • D. 74

  • Correct Answer
  • 72 

    Explanation

    Given equation are
    3x + 2y = 12 ..............(i)
    xy = 6 .........................(ii)
    On squaring Eq. (i) on both sides, we will get
    (3x + 2y)2 = (12)2
    ? 9x2 + 4y2 + 12xy = 144
    put the value of xy
    ? 9x2+ 4x2 = 144 - 72 = 72
    ? 9x2+ 4x2 = 72
