1. \(x\) > \(y\) INSUFFICIENT
2. \(3x\) - \(2y\) = 14 SUFFICIENT one can plug in \(x\) = \(2y\) and solve for Y

IMO B :)

The answer is B. we can solve this question Logically.
from the stem, have an equation with two variables.
(1) gives an inequality - not an equation. Insufficient!
(2) now we have two equations with two variables - definitely solvable!

Re: If x = 2y , what is the value of [#permalink] New post  25 Aug 2020, 04:36
Given x=2y

Statement 1: x>y

For y = 2 , x=4 and it satisfies the x>y condition
xy=8

for y=3, x=6 and it satisfies the x>y condition
xy=18

Hence Statement 1 is NOT sufficient

Statement 2: 3x-2y=14

Substituting 2y=x

3x-x=14
2x=14
x=7

y=7/2

xy= 49/2

Hence Statement 2 alone is sufficient

If \(x\) = \(2y\) , what is the value of \(xy\)?

1. \(x\) > \(y\)
2. \(3x\) - \(2y\) = 14


(A) Let \(y=1\) then \(x=2\) and \(xy=2\), also Let \(y=2\) then \(x=4\) and \(xy=4\). Clearly, statement 1 alone is insufficient.

(B) \(3x-2y=14\) and we know that \(x=2y\), substituting this we get \(6y-2y=14\) or \(4y=14\) or \(y=\frac{7}{2}\) and \(x=7\). Now \(xy=\frac{49}{2}\). Sufficient.

Hence, B.
