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 + 15 = 0 )(II. y^2 - 12y + 36 = 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

Equation I: x^2-8x+15=0 factors to (x-3)(x-5)=0, so x=3 or x=5. Equation II: y^2-12y+36=0 is (y-6)^2=0, so y=6 (repeated root). Since both values of x (3 and 5) are less than y=6, the relationship is X < Y.
