Here y can take any value if x equals 0 and the question does not state that x is not equal to 0. In that consideration, shouldn't the answer be "Cannot be determined"? I think the answer should be D (i.e.: y=50) only if the question explicitly mentions that x does not equal 0.
But when it says x^2 - xy/5 + 25 = (x-5)^2
it means this expression is true for ALL values of x and y. So we have to generalise by the means of expanding (x-5)^2 and equating it with x^2 - xy/5 + 25
We cannot
