MathematicsSolve the following pair of equations.x-y=0.9 and 112(x+y)=1.

Solve the following pair of equations. $x - y = 0.9$ and $\frac{11}{2 (x + y)} = 1$ .

Given equations are

x - y = 0.9 \dots (1)

\frac{11}{2 (x + y)} = 1 \dots (2)

.
Substituting

x = y + 0.9

in the 2nd equation, we get,

11 = 2 (y + 0.9 + y)

⇒

\frac{11}{2} = (2 y + 0.9)

⇒

2 y = 5.5 - 0.9

⇒

2 y = 4.6

⇒

y = 2.3

⇒

x = 2.3 + 0.9

⇒

x = 3.2

Therefore,

x = 3.2

and

y = 2.3

.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
