Multiple choice

In the following question two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer. $( (I) \space x^2 - 10x + 25 = 0 ) ( (II) \space y^2 + 26y + 169 = 0 )$

  1. If x < y

  2. If x > y

  3. If x ≤ y

  4. If x ≥ y

  5. If x = y or the relationship cannot be determined

B Correct answer
Explanation

Solving (I): x²-10x+25=0 gives (x-5)²=0, so x = 5. Solving (II): y²+26y+169=0 gives (y+13)²=0, so y = -13. Since 5 > -13, x > y, so answer is B.
