    find the value of x and y first and use this later to get the result of given expression.

    Correct Option: D

    we have, x + y - 7 = 0
    ⇒ x + y = 7 ...(i)
    and 3x + y - 13 = 0
    ⇒ 3x + y = 13 ..(ii)
    By subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
    3x + y = 13
    x + y = 7
    ----------------------
    2x = 6 ...(ii)
    ∴ x = 3

    On putting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get
    3 + y = 7
    ∴ y = 4

    Now, 4x2 + y2 + 4xy
    = 4 x (3)2 + (4)2 + 4 x 3 x 4
    = 4 x 9 + 16 + 48
    = 36 + 16 + 48 = 100


  1. If 3x + 7y = 75 and 5x - 5y = 25, what is the value of x + y ?

    3x + 7y = 75 ..(i)
    5x - 5y = 25
    ∴ x - y = 5 ...(ii)
    On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 7 and adding to Eq. (i), we get
    3x + 7y = 75
    7x - 7y = 35
    ------------------
    10x = 110
    x = 11

    Correct Option: D

    3x + 7y = 75 ..(i)
    5x - 5y = 25
    ∴ x - y = 5 ...(ii)
    On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 7 and adding to Eq. (i), we get
    3x + 7y = 75
    7x - 7y = 35
    ------------------
    10x = 110
    x = 11
    ∴ Putting the value of x in Eq. (ii), we get
    11 - y = 5
    ∴ y = 6
    ∴ x + y = 6 + 11 = 17
