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)}) (p^2 - 5p + 4 = 0 )(\text{(II)}) (q^2 + 11q - 12 = 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.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation (I) gives p = 1 or p = 4. Solving equation (II) gives q = 1 or q = -12. When p = 1 and q = 1, p = q. When p = 4 and q = 1, p > q. When p = 4 and q = -12, p > q. When p = 1 and q = -12, p > q. Therefore p ≥ q is always true.
