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 + 2.9x + 1.9 = 0 )(II. y^2 – 2.9y + 1.9 = 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

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solving x² + 2.9x + 1.9 = 0 gives x = -1.9, -1. Solving y² - 2.9y + 1.9 = 0 gives y = 1.9, 1. Both x values are negative while both y values are positive, so x < y is always true.
