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. $I. (x^2 - 50x + 589 = 0)$ $II. (y^2 - 19y - 416 = 0)$

  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

Solve each quadratic equation by factoring or using the quadratic formula. For equation I: x² - 50x + 589 = 0 gives x = 31 or x = 19. For equation II: y² - 19y - 416 = 0 gives y = 32 or y = -13. Since x takes values between 19 and 31 while y ranges from -13 to 32, the ranges overlap significantly and no definite relationship can be established between x and y.
