Multiple choice

In each of the following questions, two equations are given. You have to solve them and give answer $I. (a - 1 = 17^2) II. (b + 1 = 19^2)$

  1. If a > b

  2. If a ≥ b

  3. If a < b

  4. If a ≤ b

  5. If a = b or relationship can not be established

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solve both equations: From I, a=1+289=290. From II, b=361-1=360. Since 290 < 360, the relationship is a < b. Option C correctly identifies this.
