Multiple choice

In the following questions two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer. $I. (x^2 - 7.7x + 14.4 = 0) II. (y^2 - 0.2y - 9.6 = 0)$

  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 determined

B Correct answer
Explanation

Solving x² - 7.7x + 14.4 = 0 gives x = 4.5, 3.2. Solving y² - 0.2y - 9.6 = 0 gives y = 3.2, -3. Since 4.5 ≥ both y values and 3.2 = 3.2 (one common root), x ≥ y is always true.
