Q. If \( x = 2, y = 4 \), find \( \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^{x-y} + \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{y-x} \)
(a) 4    (b) 8    (c) 12    (d) 2

✏️ Solution

\( \left(\frac{2}{4}\right)^{2-4} + \left(\frac{4}{2}\right)^{4-2} \)

\( = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-2} + (2)^2 \)

\( = 2^2 + 4 \)

\( = 4 + 4 \)

\( = 8 \)

Correct Option: (b) 8

\( \boxed{8} \)
