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. 2x^2 – 13x + 18= 0 ) ( II. y^2 – 7y + 12 = 0 )

  1. X > Y

  2. X < Y

  3. X ≤ Y

  4. X ≥ Y

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

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation I: 2x² - 13x + 18 = 0 gives x = 2, 9/2 (or 4.5). Solving equation II: y² - 7y + 12 = 0 gives y = 3, 4. When x = 2 and y = 3, x < y; when x = 4.5 and y = 4, x > y. The relationship changes, so it cannot be established.
