  1. $p > q$
  2. $p ≤ q$
  3. $p ≥ q$
  4. $p < q$
  5. p = q or relation between p and q can't be established

D Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation I: 6p² + 9p + 3 = 0 gives p = -1 or -0.5. Solving equation II: 8q² - 13q + 5 = 0 gives q = 1 or 0.625. Since both p values are negative and both q values are positive, p is always less than q.
