    \[\frac{x+y-8}{2}=\frac{x+2y-14}{3}=\frac{3x+y-12}{11}\] find the value of x and y,

    A)  \[-\,\,6,\,\,-2\]

    B)  \[-\,\,5,4\]

    C)  \[-\,\,2,6\]

    D)  \[2,6\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Taking first two parts, we get
    \[\frac{x+y-8}{2}=\frac{x+2y-14}{3}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3\,\,(x+y-8)=2\,\,(x+2y-14)\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3x+3y-24=2x+4y-28\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x-y=-\,\,4\]                  ?(i)
    Taking last two parts, we get
    \[\frac{x+2y-14}{3}=\frac{3x+y-12}{11}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[11\,\,(x+2y-14)=3(3x+y-12)\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[11x+22y-154\]
    \[=9x+3y-36\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2x+19y=118\]             ?(ii)
    Multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and subtracting from Eq. (ii), we get \[21y=126\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               y = 6
    Putting y = 6 in Eq. (i), we get x = 2.
    \[\therefore \]      \[x=2,\]\[y=6\]
