Question

If x + y = 7 and xy = 10, find x2 + y2.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

29

Use the identity \(x^2 + y^2 = (x+y)^2 - 2xy\).

Substituting the given values, \(x^2 + y^2 = 7^2 - 2(10) = 49 - 20\).

This gives \(x^2 + y^2 = 29\).
