Multiple choice

In this question two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and mark the appropriate option. $I. (4p^2 + p - 3 = 0) II. (6q^2 - 5q + 1 = 0)$

  1. $\(p > q\)$
  2. $\(p \le q\)$
  3. $\(p \ge q\)$
  4. $\(p < q\)$

  5. p = q or relation between p and q can't be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation I gives p = -1 or 0.75. Solving equation II gives q = 0.33 or 0.5. When p = -1, p < q for both q values. When p = 0.75, p > q for both q values. Since p can be both greater than and less than q depending on which root we take, we cannot establish a definite relationship between p and q.
