If x + y = 10, 2xy = 48 and x > y, then find 2x - y.

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 8

Given that

If x + y = 10, 2xy = 48 and x > y

Put x = 6, y = 4

6 + 4 = 10 , 2 * 6 * 4= 48 and 6 > y

Hence value satisfies all the conditions given

Thus, the value of 2x - y = 2 * 6 - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8
