The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sqrt{\frac{xy}{3}} = x \) and find the value of \( y \), we will analyze the two given statements. ### Step 1: Start with the given equation We have the equation: \[ \sqrt{\frac{xy}{3}} = x \] To eliminate the square root, we square both sides: \[ \frac{xy}{3} = x^2 \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equation Next, we multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction: \[ xy = 3x^2 \] ### Step 3: Isolate \( y \) Now, we can isolate \( y \) by dividing both sides by \( x \) (since \( xy \neq 0 \), \( x \neq 0 \)): \[ y = \frac{3x^2}{x} = 3x \] ### Step 4: Analyze the statements Now we will analyze the two statements to find the value of \( y \). #### Statement (1): \( \frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{3} \) From this statement, we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = 3x \] This matches our earlier result \( y = 3x \). However, this does not provide a specific value for \( y \) since it depends on the value of \( x \). #### Statement (2): \( x = 3 \) Substituting \( x = 3 \) into the equation \( y = 3x \): \[ y = 3(3) = 9 \] This gives us a specific value for \( y \). ### Conclusion From the analysis, we find that: - Statement (1) does not provide a specific value for \( y \). - Statement (2) gives us \( y = 9 \). Thus, the correct answer is that we can determine \( y \) using statement (2). ### Final Answer: The value of \( y \) is \( 9 \). ---
