$\oplus$ and $\odot$ are two operators on number p and q such that
\[ \mathrm{p} \oplus \mathrm{q}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^{2}+\mathrm{q}^{2}}{\mathrm{pq}} \text { and } \mathrm{p} \odot \mathrm{q}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^{2}}{\mathrm{q}} \]
If $\mathrm{x} \oplus \mathrm{y}=2 \odot 2$, then $\mathrm{x}=$
(a)$\frac{\mathrm{y}}{2}$
(b)$\frac{3 y}{2}$
(c)y
(d)2 y

Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high

The source book printed no answer; this one was worked out and checked — see the explanation.

Explanation
2 ⊙ 2 = 4/2 = 2, so (x² + y²)/xy = 2, giving (x − y)² = 0 and x = y (c).
