  1. X > Y

  2. X < Y

  3. X ≤ Y

  4. X ≥ Y

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

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation I: 2x² + 7x + 5 = 0 gives x = -5/2, -1. Solving equation II: 3y² + 5y + 2 = 0 gives y = -2/3, -1. When both equal -1, x = y. In all other comparisons, x < y. Therefore x ≤ y is the correct relationship.
