Multiple choice

In each of these questions, two equations are given. You have to solve these equations and find out the values of X and Y and give answers. I. (3x^2 + 6x - 9 = 0) II. (8y^2 + 46y - 25 = 0)

  1. If X < Y

  2. If X > Y

  3. If X ≤ Y

  4. If X ≥ Y

  5. If X = Y or no relation can be established.

Explanation

Equation I: 3x² + 6x - 9 = 3(x²+2x-3) = 3(x+3)(x-1) = 0, so x = -3 or 1. Equation II: 8y² + 46y - 25 = 0 gives y = 0.5 or -6.25 (discriminant 2916, sqrt 54). When x=-3: x > -6.25 but x < 0.5. When x=1: x > -6.25 and x > 0.5. The inconsistent relationship means no definite relation can be established.
