Multiple choice

In each of the following questions, two equations are given. You have to solve them and $I. (x^2 - 11x = 0) II. (y^2 - 24y + 144 = 0)$

  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

For equation I: x² - 11x = 0 gives x(x - 11) = 0, so x = 0 or x = 11. For equation II: y² - 24y + 144 = 0 is (y - 12)² = 0, so y = 12 (repeated root). Comparing: x can be 0 or 11, while y = 12. In both cases x < y (0 < 12 and 11 < 12), making option C correct.
