Multiple choice

In the following questions two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer. ( (I) 2x^2 + 15x + 22 = 0 ) ( (II) y^3 - 0.331 = 1 )

  1. If x > y

  2. If x ≥ y

  3. If x < y

  4. If x ≤ y

  5. If x = y or the relationship cannot be determined

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solving the quadratic equation gives x = -2 or x = -5.5. Solving the cubic equation y³ = 1.331 gives y = 1.1. Comparing these: -2 < 1.1 and -5.5 < 1.1. Both possible x values are less than y.
