Multiple choice

$(\text{In each of the following questions two equations are given. You have to solve both the equation and find out the values of x and y and Give answer -} )$ $((I) \ (x + 2)^{2} – 25=0 \qquad (II) \ 3y^{2}+y-4=0)$

  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
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

Equation (I) gives x = 3 or x = -7. Equation (II) gives y = 1 or y = -4/3. When x = 3, x > y for both y values. When x = -7, x < y for both y values. Since the relationship varies depending on which root we take, the relationship cannot be established. Option E is correct.
