Correct Answer: 9
Solution :
According to the question,
⇒ $x^2+8 y^2-12 y-4 x y+9=0$
⇒ $x^2 - 4xy + 4y^2 + 4y^2 - 12y + 9 = 0$
⇒ $(x - 2y)^2 + (2y - 3)^2 = 0$
⇒ $x - 2y = 0, 2y - 3 = 0$
⇒ $x = 2y, 2y = 3$
⇒ $x = 3, y = \frac{3}{2}$
Now, $7x - 8y$ = 7 × (3) – 8 × $\frac{(3)}{2}$
= 21 – 12
= 9
Hence, the correct answer is 9.
