Correct Answer :

Option C

256

256

Solution :

The correct answer is 256.

Let's solve the equations step-by-step to find the value of (d8)y.

First, we are given two quadratic equations:

Equation 1:
a27a+d=0

The roots of Equation 1 are given as x and y. Using the relations between the roots and coefficients of a quadratic equation (sum of roots and product of roots):
Sum of roots:
x+y=7 --- (Equation 3)
Product of roots:
xy=d --- (Equation 4)

Equation 2:
b24b+(d9)=0

The roots of Equation 2 are given as x and y - x. Using the relations between the roots and coefficients for Equation 2:
Sum of roots:
x+(yx)=4
Simplifying this, we get:
y=4 --- (Equation 5)

Now, let's find the value of x by substituting y=4 into Equation 3:
x+4=7
x=3

With both x and y known, we can find the value of d using Equation 4:
d=xy=3×4=12

Finally, we calculate the required expression (d8)y:
(d8)y=(128)4
=44
=256
