Correct Answer: $4(a^2+b^2)$
Solution :
Given:
$a(x+y) = b(x-y)=2ab$
$a(x+y) = 2ab$
⇒ $b = \frac{x+y}{2}$
⇒ $2b = x+y$ ---(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, $2(x^2+y^2)$
= $2[((a+b)^2+(b-a)^2]$
= $4(a^2+b^2)$
Hence, the correct answer is $4(a^2+b^2)$.
