Multiple choice

In each question two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and mark the appropriate answer.( )(\text{(I)}) (6p^2 + 13p – 169 = 0)(\text{(II)}) (q^2 + 8q – 65 = 0)

  1. If p > q

  2. If p ≥ q

  3. If p < q

  4. If p ≤ q

  5. If p = q or no relation can be established between p and q.

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation (I) gives p = 6.5 or p = -13/3 ≈ -4.33. Solving equation (II) gives q = 5 or q = -13. Since p can be greater than q (when p = 6.5 and q = 5 or -13) but can also be less than q (when p = -4.33 and q = 5), no consistent relationship exists between p and q.
