Correct Answer: $\frac{321}{323}$
Solution : $x=\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4}} = \frac{(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4})^2}{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4})} = \frac{5+4-4\sqrt5}{5-4} = 9-4\sqrt5$ $y=\frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4}} = \frac{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4})^2}{(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4})(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4})} = \frac{5+4+4\sqrt5}{5-4} = 9+4\sqrt5$ ⇒ $xy=\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4}}×\frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4}}=1$ and $x+y=9-4\sqrt5+9+4\sqrt5=18$ Now, $\frac{x^2-x y+y^2}{x^2+x y+y^2}$ = $\frac{x^2+2xy+y^2-3xy}{x^2+2xy+y^2-xy}$ = $\frac{(x+y)^2-3xy}{(x+y)^2-xy}$ = $\frac{(18)^2-3}{(18)^2-1}$ = $\frac{321}{323}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{321}{323}$.
