Multiple choice

$(\text{In each of the following questions two equations are given. You have to solve both the equation and give answer -} )$ $((I) \space x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0 \qquad (II) \space y^2 + 11x + 18 = 0)$

  1. If x > y

  2. If x < y

  3. If x ≥ y

  4. If x ≤ y

  5. If x = y or the relationship cannot be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Equation (I) factors to (x+2)(x+5) = 0, so x = -2 or x = -5. Equation (II) is written as y² + 11x + 18 = 0, which contains x instead of y - this is likely a typo for y² + 11y + 18 = 0. With the typo, equation (II) has no real solutions (discriminant would involve x). The relationship cannot be established.
