From the given information, we have \(2000*\frac{x}{100}*1.5 = 3000*\frac{y}{100}\). This simplifies to \(x = y\), and thus \(x^2 - y^2 = 0\).

I am sorry but it is little confusing, Project B give 50 % higher returns than Project A. so Y = 1.5 and X=1. let’s say x= 100% and Y= 150% than how come X^2-Y^2= 0? Apology in advances if I asked very dumb question.
