Multiple choice

In each of these questions, two equations (a) and (b) are given. You have to solve both the equations and choose the correct option. a) (x^2 - 26x + 165 = 0) b) (y^2 + 8y - 153 = 0)

  1. x > y

  2. x ≤ y

  3. x ≥ y

  4. x < y

  5. x = y or relationship between x and y can't be established

A Correct answer
Explanation

Solving x^2 - 26x + 165 = 0 gives x = 11 or 15. Solving y^2 + 8y - 153 = 0 gives y = -17 or 9. In all cases, x > y, so option A is correct.
