Multiple choice

In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer. $I. (8x + 13y = 62) II. (13x - 17y + 128 = 0)$

  1. x > y

  2. x < y

  3. x ≥ y

  4. x ≤ y

  5. x = y, or relation can’t be established

B Correct answer
Explanation

Solving the system: 8x + 13y = 62 and 13x - 17y = -128. From the first equation, x = (62-13y)/8. Substituting into the second gives 13(62-13y)/8 - 17y = -128. Solving yields y = 6, and substituting back gives x = -2. Therefore, x < y.
