If \(10x + 10y + 16x^2 + 25y^2 = 10 + z\), what is the value of x + y?
(1) \(z = (4x)^2 + (5y)^2\)
(2) \(x = 1\)
(1) \(z = (4x)^2 + (5y)^2\)
(2) \(x = 1\)

St1: z = \(16x^2 + 25y^2\) --> 10(x + y) = 10 --> x + y = 1. Sufficient
St2: Clearly insufficient as we do not know the value of y and z
Answer: A

Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. In DS, Variable approach is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer without actually solving the problem. Remember equal number of variables and independent equations ensures a solution.
If 10x+10y+16x^2+25y^2=10+z , what is the value of x + y?
(1) z=(4x)^2+(5y)^2
(2) x=1
When you modify the original condition and the question, x+y=(10+z-16x^2-25y^2)/10 is derived. For 1), x+y=1 is derived from z=16x^2+25y^2, which is sufficient. The answer is A.
Once we modify the original condition and the question according to the variable approach method 1, we can solve approximately 30% of DS questions.
