Multiple choice

In each of the following questions two equations are given. You have to solve both the equation and give answer - ( (I) 2x + y = 12 )( (II) 3y + 5y - 32 = 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 (II) is '3y + 5y - 32 = 0' which simplifies to 8y = 32, giving y = 4. Substituting into equation (I): 2x + 4 = 12, so 2x = 8 and x = 4. Therefore x = y = 4, meaning x = y. However, equation (II) appears to have a typo - it should likely involve two variables.
