NDA 2016 Paper 2 | Statistics Question 9 | Mathematics

Two variates, x and y are uncorrelated and have standard deviations $$\sigma$$_x and $$\sigma$$_y respectively. What is the correlation coefficient between x + y and x $$-$$ y ?

$${{{\sigma _x}{\sigma _y}} \over {\sigma _x^2 + \sigma _y^2}}$$

$${{{\sigma _x} + {\sigma _y}} \over {2{\sigma _x}{\sigma _y}}}$$

$${{\sigma _x^2 - \sigma _y^2} \over {\sigma _x^2 + \sigma _y^2}}$$

$${{{\sigma _y} - {\sigma _x}} \over {{\sigma _x}{\sigma _y}}}$$
