Multiple choice

In the following questions one or two equations (I) and (II) are given. On the basis of these you have to find out the relation between x & y.((I)) (2x + 3y = 5)((II)) ((1 - y)^2 = (x - 1)^2)

  1. If x = y

  2. If x > y

  3. If y > x

  4. If x ≥ y

  5. If y ≥ x

A Correct answer
Explanation

From (I): 2x + 3y = 5. From (II): (1-y)² = (x-1)² means 1-y = ±(x-1). Testing: if x=y, then 2x+3x=5 gives 5x=5, x=1. So x=y=1. Check (II): (1-1)² = (1-1)² gives 0=0, which holds true. Therefore x=y is correct.
