Question : If $x=1-y$ and $x^2=2-y^2$, then what is the value of $xy$?

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $2$

Option 3: $-\frac{1}{2}$

Option 4: $–1$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}$


Solution : Given: $x = 1-y$
⇒ $x+y = 1$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $x^2+y^2+2xy=1$ 
Using $x^2 = 2-y^2$
⇒ $2-y^2+y^2+2xy=1$
⇒ $2+2xy =1$
$\therefore xy = -\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $-\frac{1}{2}$.
