Approach Solution -2

Given: f(3x + 2y, 2x - 5y) = 19x , f(x,2x)=27
that means \(3x+2y=\frac{2x-5y}{2}\)
\(6x+4y=2x-5y\)

\(4x=-9y\)\(y=\frac{-4x}{9}\)

Put the value of y

\(3x + 2y=>3x+2(\frac{-4x}{9})=>\frac{19}{9}x\)

\(2x - 5y=>2x-5(\frac{-4x}{9})=>\frac{38}{9}x\)

Now put both the value in equation 1

\(f(\frac{19}{9}x,\frac{39}{9}x)=19x\)

Let's take common \(\frac{19}{9}\) from both the side
\(f(x,2x)=9x\)
put the value of f(x,2x)=27
\(27=9x=>x=3\)

So, the correct option is (A): 3.
