    If \[2x+3y=5\] and \[3x+2y=10\], then x-y= ......... .

    A) 3

    B) 4

    C) 5

    D) 6

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given,\[2x\text{ }+\text{ }3y\text{ }=\text{ }5\]                    ... (i)
    \[3x+2y=10\]                                 ...(ii)
    Multiply Eq. (i) by 3 and Eq. (ii) by 2,
    we get
    \[6x+9y=15\]
    \[\underset{\underline{-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,-\,\,\,}}{\mathop{6x+4y=20}}\,\]
    \[9y=-5\]
    \[y=-1\]
    Substitute \[y=-1\] in Eq. (i), we get
    \[2x\text{ }+\text{ }3\left( -1 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }5\]
    \[2x\text{ }=\text{ }5\text{ }+\text{ }3\]
    \[2x=8\]
    \[x=4\]
    \[\therefore \,\,x-y=4-\left( -1 \right)=5\]
