Correct Answer: $3$
Solution : Given equation, $x^2+y^2+2 y+4 x+5=0$ Let us try to make it a perfect square. $x^2+4 x+y^2+2 y+5=0$ ⇒ $x^2 + 4x + 4 -4 + y^2 +2y + 1 -1 + 5=0$ ⇒ $(x+2)^2 + (y+1)^2 -5 + 5 = 0$ ⇒ $(x+2)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 0$ ⇒ $(x+2)^2=0$ and $(y+1)^2 = 0$ [If the sum of two squares is zero then each term individually will also be zero] ⇒ $x+2 = 0$ and $y+1 = 0$ ⇒ $x=-2$ and $y=-1$ $\therefore$ $\frac{x+y}{x-y}=\frac{-2-1}{-2+1}=\frac{-3}{-1}=3$ Hence, the correct answer is 3.
