Correct Answer :

Option C

73/48

73/48

Solution :

The correct answer is 73/48.

We are given the ratio:
x y = 11 5

From this ratio, we can express x in terms of y by letting x=11k and y=5k for some non-zero constant k.

We need to find the value of the expression:
x 2 + y 2 x 2 - y 2

Substituting x=11k and y=5k into the expression, we get:
( 11 k ) 2 + ( 5 k ) 2 ( 11 k ) 2 - ( 5 k ) 2

Simplify the squared terms:
121 k 2 + 25 k 2 121 k 2 - 25 k 2

Factor out and cancel k2 from both the numerator and the denominator:
k 2 ( 121 + 25 ) k 2 ( 121 - 25 ) = 121 + 25 121 - 25

Calculate the final numbers:
146 96

Reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
146 / 2 96 / 2 = 73 48
