To solve the question, the both equations should have a positive value and a negative value with same number. Then one variable can be eliminated.

To eliminate X term first, we should multiply the first equation by 2 and second one by 3.
Then,
     6X - 12Y = -30
     -6X + 15Y = 70

Or

To eliminate Y term first, we should multiply the first equation by 5 and second one by 6.
 Then,
     15X - 30Y = -75
      -12X + 30Y = 84

According to the choices given 'A' is the correct answer.
