    Solution:

    Given system of equations are,
    2x+y=23... (1) 4x-y=19... (2) Now, adding both the equation will have, +y and -y will cancel out each other. We have,
    6x=42 x=7
    Now, substituting x=7 in in equation (1). 2(7)+y=23 14+y=23 y=9
    Now, substituting x=7 and y=9 in 5y-2x,
    5(9)-2(7)
    45-14
    31 Now substituting x=7and y=9in yx-2, 97-2 9-147 -57
    Therefore, 5y-2x=31 and  yx-2= -57 .
    The correct option is 2.
