Answer:
Answer :
Now,
(6x² - xy) : (2xy - y²) = 6 : 1
⇒ (6x² - xy) / (2xy - y²) = 6 / 1
⇒ 1 (6x² - xy) = 6 (2xy - y²)
⇒ 6x² - xy = 12xy - 6y²
⇒ 6x² - 13xy + 6y² = 0
⇒ 6x² - (9 + 4)xy + 6y² = 0
⇒ 6x² - 9xy - 4xy + 6y² = 0
⇒ 3x (2x - 3y) - 2y (2x - 3y) = 0
⇒ (2x - 3y) (3x - 2y) = 0
So, either 2x - 3y = 0 or, 3x - 2y = 0
⇒ 2x = 3y & 3x = 2y
⇒ x/y = 3/2 & x/y = 2/3
⇒ x : y = 3 : 2 & x : y = 2 : 3
Therefore, the required ratio of x and y be
x : y = 3 : 2 or, x : y = 2 : 3
