Multiple choice

In each of the following questions (I) and (II) equations are given. You have to solve them and Give answer- ( (I) x^2 + 6x – 7 = 0 ) ( (II) 41y + 17 = 140 )

  1. If x > y

  2. If x ≥ y

  3. If x < y

  4. If x ≤ y

  5. If x = y or relationship cannot be determined

C Correct answer
Explanation

From (I): x² + 6x - 7 = 0 factors to (x + 7)(x - 1) = 0, so x = -7 or x = 1. From (II): 41y = 140 - 17 = 123, giving y = 3. Comparing: when x = -7, x < y; when x = 1, x < y. In both cases, x < y, so option C is correct. Options A, B, D, and E are incorrect because x is consistently less than y.
