Quantitative Aptitude Question on Quadratic Equation
Let a, b, x, y be real numbers such that a2+b2=25,x2+y2=169, and ax+by=65. If k=ay−bx, then
A
k=0
B
0<k≤135
C
k=135
D
k>135
Answer
k=0
Explanation
Solution
We can take a=5,b=0,x=13 and y=0 as values which satisfies all three equations.
Hence, k=ay−bx=5×0−0×13=0
