Multiple choice

In the following question two equation numbered I and II are given .You have to solve both the equations and give answer if - ( (I) x^2-25 =0 )( (II) y^2- 9y +20=0 )

  1. $x \ge y$
  2. $x < y$
  3. $x \le y$
  4. $x > y$
  5. x=y or the relation cannot be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation I: x^2 - 25 = 0 gives x = ±5. Solving equation II: y^2 - 9y + 20 = 0 gives (y-4)(y-5) = 0, so y = 4 or y = 5. When x = -5, y could be 4 (xy) or 5 (x=y). Since the relationship varies, no single relation can be established.
