Q11:  ∣a+b(y/x)∣∣x∣+∣b(x/y)+a∣∣y∣=∣x∣+∣y∣  or  ∣a(x/y)+b∣∣y∣+∣b+a(y/x)∣∣x∣=∣x∣+∣y∣    b=0  a=±1  or  a=0  b=±1    ⇒∣a∣+∣b∣=1

$${Q}\mathrm{11}: \\ $$$$\mid{a}+{b}\frac{{y}}{{x}}\mid\mid{x}\mid+\mid{b}\frac{{x}}{{y}}+{a}\mid\mid{y}\mid=\mid{x}\mid+\mid{y}\mid \\ $$$${or} \\ $$$$\mid{a}\frac{{x}}{{y}}+{b}\mid\mid{y}\mid+\mid{b}+{a}\frac{{y}}{{x}}\mid\mid{x}\mid=\mid{x}\mid+\mid{y}\mid \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${b}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${a}=\pm\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${or} \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${b}=\pm\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mid{a}\mid+\mid{b}\mid=\mathrm{1} \\ $$

But Sir how to solve if a and b are both other than 0?

Commented by mr W last updated on 31/Mar/19

there is no solution with a≠0 and b≠0.  since x and y can be of any values,  we will get a+b=±1 and a−b=±1,  therefore (a=±1 and b=0) or (a=0 and  b=±1). no other possibility.
