Detailed Solution

Given:

The given eequations are:

y2 + yz + z2 = 49 ..(1)

z2+ zx + x2 = 19 .(2),

 x2 + xy + y2 = 39 .(3)

By subtracting (2) from (3) we get

y2-z2+xy-yz=20 y-zy+z+xy-z=20       by a2-b2=a+ba-b y-zx+y+z=20 ................. (4)

By subtracting (2) from (1) we get

y2-x2-zx+yz=30 y-xy+x+zy-x=30       by a2-b2=a+ba-b y-xx+y+z=30 ................. (5)

By subtracting (3) from (1) we get

z2-x2-xy+yz=10 z-xz+x+yz-x=10       by a2-b2=a+ba-b z-xx+y+z=10 ................. (6)

By dividing (5) by (6) we get

y-xz-x=3 y-x=3z-3x y=3z-2x

By substituting y=3z-2x in (3) we get

 x2 + x3z-2x + 3z-2x2 = 39 x2+3zx-2x2+9z2+4x2-12zx=39 3x2-9zx+9z2=39 x2-3zx+3z2=13 ................. (7)

By substituting z=mx in (7) we get

x2-3mxx+3mx2=13 x2-3mx2+3m2x2=13 x21-3m+3m2=13 ................ 8

By substituting z=mx in (2) we get

mx2+ mxx + x2 = 19 m2x2+mx2+x2=19 x21+m+m2=19 ................ 9

By dividing (9) by (8) we get

1+m+m21-3m+3m2=1913  13+13m+13m2=19-57m+57m2 44m2-70m+6=0 22m2-35m+3=0

Using m=-b±b2-4ac2a, we get

m=35±352-4223222 m=1.5 and 111

Substituting m=1.5 in (9), we get

x21+1.5+1.52=19 4.75x2=19 x2=4 x=±2

Substituting m=111 in (9), we get

x21+111+1112=19 1.10x2=19 x2=17.27 x=±4.16

Hence, option B is correct.
