Correct Answer :

Option A

7

Solution :

The correct option is 7.

To find the value of 4x+5y, we need to determine the values of the real numbers x and y that satisfy the given equation:

4 x 2 + 4 y 2 4 x y 6 y + 3 = 0

We can solve this equation by grouping and completing the square. Let's rewrite the equation by splitting the term 4y2 into y2+3y2:

4 x 2 4 x y + y 2 + 3 y 2 6 y + 3 = 0

Now, let's simplify each group:
1. The first group 4x24xy+y2 is a perfect square trinomial, which can be factored as 2xy2.
2. For the second group, we can factor out 3 to get 3y22y+1, which simplifies to 3y12.

Substituting these factored forms back into our equation gives:

2 x y 2 + 3 y 1 2 = 0

Since x and y are real numbers, the square terms 2xy2 and y12 must both be greater than or equal to zero. The only way their sum can equal zero is if each individual squared term is exactly zero:

y 1 2 = 0 y 1 = 0 y = 1

Using the value of y=1 in the first term:

2 x y 2 = 0 2 x y = 0 2 x = y 2 x = 1 x = 1 2

Now, we substitute the values of x=12 and y=1 into the expression 4x+5y:

4 x + 5 y = 4 1 2 + 5 1 = 2 + 5 = 7
