Correct Answer :

Option E

256

256

Solution :

Given two quadratic equations:
Equation 1: a 2 - 7 a + d = 0
The roots of Equation 1 are given as x and y. Using the relation between roots and coefficients of a quadratic equation:
Sum of roots: x + y = 7 (Equation A)
Product of roots: x y = d (Equation B)

Equation 2: b 2 - 4 b + ( d - 9 ) = 0
The roots of Equation 2 are given as x and y - x. Using the relation between roots and coefficients:
Sum of roots: x + ( y - x ) = 4
Simplifying this, we get:
y = 4

Now, substitute the value of y in Equation A:
x + 4 = 7
x = 3

Now, substitute the values of x and y into Equation B to find d:
d = x y = 3 × 4 = 12

We need to find the value of:
( d - 8 ) y
Substituting d = 12 and y = 4:
( 12 - 8 ) 4 = 4 4 = 256

Thus, the correct answer is 256.
