  1. $\(x > y\)$
  2. $\(x < y\)$
  3. $\(x \ge y\)$

B Correct answer
Explanation

For equation I: x² - 1.1x + 0.18 = 0 factors to (x-0.2)(x-0.9) = 0, giving x = 0.2 or 0.9. For equation II: y² - 3.5y + 2.5 = 0 factors to (y-1.25)(y-2) = 0, giving y = 1.25 or 2. Comparing all values: 0.2 < 1.25, 0.2 < 2, 0.9 < 1.25, 0.9 < 2. Therefore x < y always.
