Multiple choice

In each question two equations numbered I and II are given, you have to solve both the equation and choose the correct answer. $I. (x^2 + 8x + 16 = 0) II. (y^2 - 9 = 0)$

  1. X > Y

  2. X < Y

  3. X ≤ Y

  4. X ≥ Y

  5. X = Y or the relationship can’t be established

B Correct answer
Explanation

Solve x²+8x+16=0: (x+4)²=0, so x=-4. Solve y²-9=0: y²=9, so y=-3 or y=3. For y=-3: x=-4 < -3. For y=3: x=-4 < 3. In all cases x < y, so option B is correct.
