ay = ab
y = b
(iv) (ab) x + (a + b) y = a2− 2abb2… (1)
(a + b) (x + y) = a2 +b2
(a + b) x + (a + b) y = a2+ b2… (2)
Subtracting equation (2) from (1), we obtain
(ab) x − (a + b) x= (a2 − 2abb2)− (a2 + b2)
(abab) x= − 2ab − 2b2
− 2bx = − 2b (a + b)
x = a + b
Using equation (1), we obtain
(ab) (a + b) + (a + b)y = a2 − 2abb2
a2b2 + (a + b)y = a2− 2abb2
(a + b) y = − 2ab

(v) 152x− 378y = − 74
76x − 189y = − 37
…(1)
− 378x + 152y = − 604
− 189x + 76y = − 302 … (2)
Substituting the value of x in equation (2), we obtain

− (189)2 y + 189 × 37 + (76)2y = − 302 × 76
189 × 37 + 302 × 76 = (189)2 y −(76)2 y
6993 + 22952 = (189 − 76) (189 + 76) y
29945 = (113) (265) y
y = 1
From equation (1), we obtain


ANS: 8
We know that the sum of the measures of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
Therefore, ∠A + ∠C = 180
4y+ 20 − 4x = 180
− 4x+ 4y = 160
xy = − 40 (i)
Also, ∠B + ∠D = 180
3y− 5 − 7x + 5 = 180
− 7x+ 3y = 180 (ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 3, we obtain
3x− 3y = − 120 (iii)
Adding equations (ii) and (iii), we obtain
− 7x+ 3x = 180 − 120
− 4x= 60
x =−15
By using equation (i), we obtain
x y = − 40
−15− y = − 40
y =−15 + 40 = 25
∠A = 4y + 20 = 4(25) + 20 = 120°
∠B = 3y − 5 = 3(25) − 5 = 70°
∠C = − 4x = − 4(− 15) = 60°
∠D = − 7x + 5 = − 7(−15) + 5 = 110°
