Question : If $a(x+y)=b(x-y)=2ab$, then the value of $2(x^2+y^2)$ is:

Option 1: $2(a^2-b^2)$

Option 2: $2(a^2+b^2)$

Option 3: $4(a^2-b^2)$

Option 4: $4(a^2+b^2)$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

$a(x+y) = b(x-y)=2ab$
$a(x+y) = 2ab$
⇒ $b = \frac{x+y}{2}$
⇒ $2b = x+y$ ---(1)
From $b(x-y) = 2ab$, same way we get
⇒ $2a = x-y$ ---(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2), we get
$x = a+b, y = b-a$
So, $2(x^2+y^2)$
=
