The minimum value of any modulus operation is zero. Now in this equation, the sum of the distances of x from 0 and y from 0 is fixed (i.e. equals 30)
|x| + 3|y| = 30
We need to maximize the difference (distance) between x and y.
In order to do so, we need to allocate the minimum value possible to y. Because for any value we put in y, 3|y| results in three times the value. So if we can make 3|y| minimum, the value of |x| can be maximum.
The minimum value of 3|y| = 0 when y = 0. Maximum value of |x| = 30.
x = \(\pm 30\)
Hence maximum distance = 30 - (-30) = 60
Option A
P.S. - The options in GMAT are always in either ascending or descending order and not randomly placed. Hence, we can use the options as well to logically arrive at the solution.
