Question : Let $x=\frac{5 \frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{7} \times 15 \frac{3}{4}+2 \frac{2}{35} \div 1 \frac{11}{25}}{\frac{3}{4} \div 5 \frac{1}{4}+5 \frac{3}{5} \div 3 \frac{4}{15}}$. When $y$ is added to $x$, the result is $\frac{7}{13}$. What is the value of $y$?
Option 1: $\frac{1}{13}$
Option 2: $\frac{9}{13}$
Option 3: $\frac{2}{13}$
Option 4: $\frac{4}{13}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{13}$
Solution : $x=\frac{5 \frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{7} \times 15 \frac{3}{4}+2 \frac{2}{35} \div 1 \frac{11}{25}}{\frac{3}{4} \div 5 \frac{1}{4}+5 \frac{3}{5} \div 3 \frac{4}{15}}$ $⇒x=\frac{\frac{23}{4}-\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{63}{4}+\frac{72}{35} \div \frac{36}{25}}{\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{21}{4}+\frac{28}{5} \div \frac{49}{15}}$ $⇒x=\frac{\frac{23}{4}-\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{63}{4}+\frac{72}{35} \times \frac{25}{36}}{\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{21} +\frac{28}{5} \times \frac{15}{49}}$ $⇒x=\frac{\frac{23}{4}- \frac{27}{4}+\frac{10}{7}}{\frac{1}{7}+\frac{12}{7}}$ $⇒x=\frac{\frac{3}{7}}{\frac{13}{7}}$ $⇒x=\frac{3}{13}$ Given that $x + y =

Question : If $(x+y)^2=xy+1$ and $x^3-y^3=1$, what is the value of $(x-y)$?
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 0
Option 3: –1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $(x+y)^2=xy+1$ and $x^3-y^3=1$ Consider, $(x+y)^2=xy+1$ ⇒ $x^2+y^2+2xy-xy=1$ ⇒ $x^2+y^2+xy=1$ Now, we know, $x^3-y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)$ ⇒ $1=(x-y)×1$ $\therefore(x-y)=1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.
