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) (2x^2 – 10x + 8 = 0) b) (y^2 – 13y – 140 = 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

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving 2x^2 - 10x + 8 = 0 gives x = 1 or 4. Solving y^2 - 13y - 140 = 0 gives y = 20 or -7. Since x < y (1<20, 4<20) but x > y (1>-7, 4>-7), no consistent relationship exists.
