  • Question
  • If a = p / (p + q) and b = q / (p - q), then and ab/a + b is equal to


  • Options
  • A. pq / (p2 + q2)
  • B. (p2 + q2) / pq
  • C. p / (p + q)
  • D. [p / (p + q)]2

  • Correct Answer
  • pq / (p2 + q2) 

    Explanation

    ab/(a + b) = [p/(p + q)] x [q/(p - q)] / [p/(p + q) + q/(p - q)]
    = pq/p2 - pq + pq + q2
    = pq/(p2 + q2)
