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+19x+70 = 0 ) ( b) y^2+5y-234 = 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 x^2 + 19x + 70 = 0 gives x = -7 or -14. Solving y^2 + 5y - 234 = 0 gives y = -13 or 18. Since x can be less than (-7 < 18) or greater than (-7 > -13), no consistent relationship exists.
