Looking at this problem in terms of geometry makes it easier than trying to think of it algebraically.
If you want the largest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding a rectangle with width x and length y that has the largest perimeter.
If you want the smallest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding the rectangle with the smallest perimeter.
However, the area x*y must be constant and = 100.
We know that a square has the smallest perimeter to area ratio. This means that the smallest perimeter rectangle with area 100 is a square with side length 10. For this square, x+y = 20.
We also know that the further the rectangle stretches, the larger its perimeter to area ratio becomes. This means that a rectangle with side lengths 100 and 1 with an area of 100 has the largest perimeter. For this rectangle, x+y = 101.
So, the difference between the max and min values of x+y = 101 - 20 = 81.
(C) "having a deep fondness for border collies and therefore overestimating them"
While acknowledging that "dogs may be noble, charming, loyal, and dependable," the author of Passage 1 speculates that they might not have "earned those extra intellect points." In contrast, the author's admiration for dogs may lead one to believe that the depiction of "pure intelligence shining in the face of a border collie" in lines 63–67 is exaggerated.
The answer is not (A). Passage 1's author would probably assume that Passage 2's author has a strong emotional bond with dogs. (B) is the wrong answer. The subjective assessment of canine intellect is shown in lines 63–67. They don't imply that the author of Passage 2 has in-depth understanding of the relevant studies.
The answer is not (D). Despite the fact that the author of Passage 2 appears to prefer personal experience over the findings of scientific investigations, lines 63–67 do not demonstrate any scorn for "traditional" research. The answer is not (E).
It would be harsh to assert that the author of Passage 2 has a limited understanding "of what constitutes intelligence" despite the fact that the two authors may hold different opinions on the degree to which dogs are able to reason.
