18??

Re-arranging you will get (10X +20Y)/(X+Y) = 10 +10Y/(X+Y)

Now X+Y = 10
1,9
2,8
3,7
4,6

Only 2,8 matches the answer options

[ Cut-n-paste from my earlier post ]

The eqn can be reduced to

(10x + 20y) / (x+y) = k

10 + 10y/(x+y) = k

y / (x+y) will be > 0 and < 1 as we know x and y are positive. So,
discard A and E.

When x = y, y/(x+y) = 1/2 and when x = 0, y/(x+y) = 1. So, value of
y/(x+y) will vary between 1/2 and 1. So, discard B and C.

Only D remains.
