Multiple choice

In each of the following questions, two equations are given. You have to solve both equation and give the answer- $I. (3x^2 + 17x + 10 = 0)$ $II. (10y^2 + 9y + 2 = 0)$

  1. If x > y

  2. If x ≥ y

  3. If x < y

  4. If x ≤ y

  5. If x = y or relationship can not be established

C Correct answer
Explanation

I: 3x² + 17x + 10 = 0 gives (3x + 2)(x + 5) = 0, so x = -2/3 or -5. II: 10y² + 9y + 2 = 0 gives (5y + 2)(2y + 1) = 0, so y = -2/5 or -1/2. Converting to decimals: x = -0.67 or -5, y = -0.4 or -0.5. In all cases x < y.
