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 ? [NDA II 2016]

Correct Answer is : σx2−σy2σx2+σy2

{\sigma_{x}\sigma_{y}}/{\sigma_{x}^{2}+\sigma_{y}^{2}}

{\sigma_{{x}}+\sigma_{{y}}}/{2\sigma_{{x}}\sigma_{{y}}}

{\sigma_{x}^{2}-\sigma_{y}^{2}}/{\sigma_{x}^{2}+\sigma_{y}^{2}}

{\sigma_{y}-\sigma_{x}}/{\sigma_{x}\sigma_{y}}
