Question

Let x, y, z be variables such that (x + y + z) = k, where k is a constant. If (x + z - y) × (x - z + y) is proportional to yz, then (y + z - x) is proportional to:

This question was previously asked in
CDS 2 2025 Maths Question Paper (14-Sep-2025)
The correct answer is

x

By analyzing the proportionality conditions, we find that (y + z - x) is proportional to x. Hence, the correct answer is (a) x.
