Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2, 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3 x+i(4 x-y)=6-i\)
On comparing real and imaginary parts of LHS and RHS, we get
\[
\begin{aligned}
& 3 x=6 \text { and } 4 x-y=-1 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 3 x=6 \Rightarrow x=2 \\
& \text { Put } x=2 \text { into } 4 x-y=-1 \text {, we get } \\
& 4 \times 2-y=-1 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 8+1=y \Rightarrow y=9 \\
&
\end{aligned}
