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. (I) (x^2 + 32x + 247 = 0) (II) (y^2 + 38y + 360 = 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 between x and y.

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving (I): x² + 32x + 247 = 0 gives x = -13, -19 (sum 32, product 247). Solving (II): y² + 38y + 360 = 0 gives y = -18, -20 (sum 38, product 360). Comparing values: -13 > -18 and -13 > -20, but -19 < -18 and -19 > -20. Since x values are sometimes greater and sometimes less than y values, no consistent relation exists.
