Multiple choice

In each of the following questions, two equations are given. You have to solve them and- ( I. x^2 = 3136 )( II. y^2 = 2916 )

  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

E Correct answer
Explanation

x^2 = 3136 gives x = ±56. y^2 = 2916 gives y = ±54. When x = -56 and y = 54, we have x < y. When x = 56 and y = -54, we have x > y. When x = 56 and y = 54, x > y. When x = -56 and y = -54, x < y. Since the relationship changes based on which roots we choose, it cannot be established uniquely.
