if two of the 4 expressions x + y , x + 5 y , x - y , and 5 x - y are chosen at random , what is the probability w that their product will be of the form of x ^ 2 - ( by ) ^ 2 , where b is an integer ? Choose the correct choice
A) 1 / 2
B) 1 / 3
C) 1 / 4
D) 1 / 5
E) w = 1 / 6

Rationale: only ( x + y ) ( x - y ) pair will give the form x ^ 2 - ( by ) ^ 2 the probability of selecting these two pairs are 1 / 4 * 1 / 3 = 1 / 12 , assuming x + y is picked first , then x - y , but x - y can be picked first followed by x + y . so the probability w = 1 / 12 * 2 = 1 / 6 ans e
Answer: E
