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.\nI. (x^2 + 9x + 20 = 0)\nII. (8y^2 - 15y + 7 = 0)

  1. X > Y

  2. X < Y

  3. X ≤ Y

  4. X ≥ Y

  5. X = Y or the relationship cannot be established

B Correct answer
Explanation

Solve I: x²+9x+20=0 factors to (x+4)(x+5)=0, so x = -4, -5. Solve II: 8y²-15y+7=0 factors to (8y-7)(y-1)=0, so y = 7/8, 1. All x values (-4, -5) are less than all y values (7/8, 1). Therefore X < Y is always true. Option B is correct.
