  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

Solving equation (I): 10x²+19x+9=0 factors as (2x+9)(5x+1)=0, giving x=-9/2=-4.5 or x=-1/5=-0.2. Solving equation (II): 13y²-2y-11=0 factors as (13y+11)(y-1)=0, giving y=-11/13≈-0.85 or y=1. Comparing values: when x=-4.5 or x=-0.2, and y=1, we have x
