Correct Answer: $\sqrt{\frac{831}{23}}$


Solution : Given: $x^2+y^2=427$ and $xy=202$.
Now, $(x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy$
⇒ $(x+y)^2=427+2×202$
⇒ $(x+y)=\sqrt{831}$ ---------------------------------------(1)
Also, $(x-y)^2=x^2+y^2-2xy$
⇒ $(x-y)^2=427-2×202$
⇒ $(x-y)= \sqrt{23}$ ------------------------------------(2)
So, $\frac{x+y}{x-y}$
$= \frac{\sqrt{831}}{\sqrt{23}}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{831}{23}}$.
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{\frac{831}{23}}$.
