  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

From (I): x = ±235. From (II): y = ±17.26 (fourth root of 887468). For positive roots, x = 235 > y = 17.26. For negative roots, x = -235 < y = -17.26. For mixed signs, comparison varies. Since x can be greater than or less than y depending on which roots we pick, no consistent relation exists.
