Answer:

Option A)
(4x+3y)/(3x-4y)

Explanation:

The given expression is:


((x)/(3)+(y)/(4))/((x)/(4)-(y)/(3))

Taking LCM in upper and lower fractions, we get:


((x)/(3)+(y)/(4))/((x)/(4)-(y)/(3))\\\\ =((4x+3y)/(12))/((3x-4y)/(12))\\\\\text{Cancelling out the common factor 12, we get:}\\\\ =(4x+3y)/(3x-4y)

Therefore, the option A gives the correct answer.
