  1. If P =
    4xy
    , find the value of
    x + y

    P + 2x
    +
    P + 2y
    .
    P − 2xP − 2y
    1. 4
    2. 1
    3. 2
    4. 6
Correct Option: C

We have

P =
4xy
=
2x × 2y
x + yx + y

⇒ 
P
=
2y
2xx + y

and,  
P
=
2x
2yx + y

Now ,  
P
=
2y
2xx + y

On applying componendo and dividendo , we have
P + 2x
=
2y + x + y
P − 2x2y − x − y

=
x + 3y
      ...(i)
y − x

Again ,  
P
=
2x
2yx + y

⇒ 
P + 2y
=
2x + x + y
P − 2y2x − x − y

=
3x + y
      ...(ii)
x − y

(i) and (ii)
P + 2x
+
P + 2y
P − 2xP − 2y

=
x + 3y
+
3x + y
y − xx − y

=
3x + y
+
x + 3y
x − yy − x

=
3x + y
x + 3y
x − yx − y

=
3x + y − x −3y
x − y

=
2x − 2y
= 2
x − y
