If x + y = 2a, then the value of $$\frac{a}{{x - a}}$$ $$ + $$ $$\frac{a}{{y - a}}$$ is?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Given, }}x + y = 2a \cr
& {\text{Find, }}\frac{a}{{x - a}} + \frac{a}{{y - a}}{\text{ = ?}} \cr
& \mathop {\mathop x\limits_ \downarrow \,}\limits_3 + \mathop {\mathop y\limits_ \downarrow }\limits_1 = \mathop {\mathop {2a}\limits_ \downarrow }\limits_2 \cr
& {\text{Let }}x = 3,{\text{ }}y = 1,{\text{ }}a = 2 \cr
& \therefore \frac{a}{{x - a}} + \frac{a}{{y - a}} \cr
& = \frac{2}{{\left( {3 - 2} \right)}} + \frac{2}{{\left( {1 - 2} \right)}} \cr
& = \frac{2}{1} + \frac{2}{{ - 1}} \cr
& = 0 \cr} $$
