    y4 = 37 and x2 – xy + y2 = 5, then what is the value of xy ?
    B -1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D -1.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    x4 + x2 y2 + y2 = 37 and x2 – xy + y2 = 5 --- (1) As we know, (x4 + x2 y2 + y2) = (x2 – xy + y2) (x2 + xy + y2) ⇒ x2 + xy + y2 = 37/5 ⇒ x2 – xy + y2 = 7.4 --- (2) Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) ⇒ 2xy = 2.4 ⇒ xy = 1.2
