If \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 x-1 & 4 x \\ 0 & y^2-1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}x+1 & 8 \\ 0 & 24\end{array}\right]\), then the value of \((x+y)\) is :

  1. A 7 and 2
  2. B 7 and 4
  3. C \(-4\) and \(3\)
  4. D 7 and -3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 7 and -3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2x-1 = x+1 \Rightarrow x = 2\) \(4x = 8 \Rightarrow 4(2) = 8\) \(y^2-1 = 24 \Rightarrow y^2 = 25 \Rightarrow y = \pm 5\) \(x+y = 2+5 = 7\) \(x+y = 2+(-5) = -3\)
