Directions: In the following question, two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer according to these codes: (a) If x > y (b) If x ≥ y (c) If x 2 - 23x + 132 = 0 II. y2 - 35y + 294 = 0

Factoring the first equation x2 - 23x + 132 = 0 yields the roots x = 12 and x = 11. Factoring the second equation y2 - 35y + 294 = 0 yields the roots y = 21 and y = 14. Comparing these roots shows that both values of x are strictly less than both values of y, which corresponds to option (c).
