It's not often that I see addition questions – it made me think.
What is the source?

Isn’t it based on your level of Quant questions that’s why you might not see a simple question like this one ?

Staphyk I feel I see lots of question applying quadratic rules and exponent rules, division and multiplication. I've been doing sub-600 level questions recently for lazy practice, so they can't get any easier!

what must be added to x/y to make 2y/x ?

A)\(\frac{2x^2}{y}\)
B)\(\frac{(xy - y^2)}{x}\)
C)\(\frac{(2y^2 - x^2)}{xy}\)
D)\(\frac{x}{y}\)
E)\(\frac{x}{y^2}\)

We can let k = the number that must be added and create the equation:

x/y + k = 2y/x

k = 2y/x - x/y

Getting a common denominator of xy, we have:

k = 2y^2/(xy) - x^2/(xy)

k = (2y^2 - x^2)/(xy)

Answer: C
