Correct Answer :

Option A

25 16

Solution :

The correct answer is 2516.

Step 1: Formulate the relationship between x and y.
We are given that the sum of two numbers x and y (where x>y) is equal to 4 times their difference:
x+y=4(x-y)

Expanding the right side of the equation:
x+y=4x-4y

Rearranging the terms to group x and y on opposite sides:
y+4y=4x-x
5y=3x
xy=53

Step 2: Express x and y in terms of a constant k.
From the ratio xy=53, we can write:
x=5k and y=3k (where k is a non-zero constant).

Step 3: Evaluate the required expression.
We need to calculate the value of:
5xy3(x2-y2)

First, calculate the numerator:
Numerator=5(5k)(3k)=75k2

Next, calculate the denominator:
Denominator=3((5k)2-(3k)2)=3(25k2-9k2)=3(16k2)=48k2

Now, divide the numerator by the denominator:
75k248k2=7548

Simplifying the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3:
7548=2516

Thus, the value of the expression is 2516.
