$$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{3}$$, then $$\frac{x^{2} + y^{2}}{x^{2} - y^{2}}$$
Given that x/y = 1/3 => y = 3x.
Substituting this in the given fraction, we get:
$$\dfrac{\left(x^2+\left(3x\right)^2\right)}{\left(x^2-\left(3x\right)^2\right)}=\dfrac{\left(10x^2\right)}{\left(-8x^2\right)}=-\dfrac{10}{8}=-\dfrac{5}{4}$$
=> Option-A
