Multiple choice

In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both equations to give the answer :( (I) \quad 5x^2 – 9x + 4 =0 ) ( (II) \quad y^2 – 11y - 42 =0 )

  1. If x < y

  2. If x > y

  3. If x ≥ y

  4. If x ≤ y

  5. If x = y or no relationship can be established between x and y.

E Correct answer
Explanation

Equation (I): 5x² - 9x + 4 = 0 factors to (5x-4)(x-1)=0, so x = 1 or 0.8. Equation (II): y² - 11y - 42 = 0 factors to (y-14)(y+3)=0, so y = 14 or -3. Comparing values: when x=1, it can be less than y=-3 or greater than y=-3 depending on y's value. No consistent relationship exists.
