If x - y = 8, then which of the following must be true? 1. Both x and y must be positive for any value of x and y. 2. If x is positive, y must be negative for any value of x and y. 3. If x is negative, y must be positive for any value of x and y. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
If x - y = 8, then which of the following must be true? 1. Both x and y must be positive for any value of x and y. 2. If x is positive, y must be negative for any value of x and y. 3. If x is negative, y must be positive for any value of x and y. Select the correct answer using the code given below. Correct Answer Neither 1 nor 2 nor 3
Given :
x - y = 8
Calculations :
For this question, we must check each option
For option (1) ⇒ x - y = 8 at x = 4 and b = -4, so option 1 does not satisfy.
For option (2) ⇒ x - y = 8 at x = 12 and y = 4, so option 2 also does not satisfy.
For option (3) ⇒ x - y = 8 at x = -1 and y = -9, so option 3 also does not satisfy.
So no option follows.
∴ Option 4 will be the right choice.
