options were
A.2
B.4
C.8
D.16
E.24
please post the question correctly and thoroughly search the forum before starting a new thread... this question has been answered earlier...

if i remember it shud be 16. and i reads like

2^(x+y)^2/2^(x-y)^2

2 ^(x2+y^2+2xy)- (x2+y^2-2xy)

thus ur left with

2^4xy

as xy = 1

its 2^4= 16...

hope that helps...
