1.

If x and y are two distinct real numbers such that x3 – xy2 = 0 then which of the following condition is correct?1. x = y2. x = 03. x = -y4. Either option 2 or 3

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Either option 2 or 3

Given:

x and y are two distinct real numbers which satisfied the given condition x3 – xy2 = 0

Concept Used:

Concept of factorization

Calculation:

We can factorize the given condition

∴ x3 – xy2 = 0

⇒ x (x2 – y2) = 0

⇒ x = 0, x = y and x = -y

But x and y are two distinct real numbers

∴ x ≠ y

So, only two possibilities x = 0 and x = -y

Hence, option (4) is correct
