Multiple choice

Two equations (I) and (II) are given in each question. On the basis of these equations you have to decide the relation between ‘x’ and ‘y’ and give answer.(I: 12x^2 + x - 13 = 0 )(II: 6y^2 + 11y + 3 = 0)

  1. x < y

  2. x > y

  3. x ≤ y

  4. x ≥ y

  5. x = y or Relation cannot be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving 12x² + x - 13 = 0 gives x = 1 or x = -13/12. Solving 6y² + 11y + 3 = 0 gives y = -0.5 or y = -1. When x = 1, x > y for both y values. When x = -13/12 ≈ -1.083, we have: compared to y = -0.5, x < y; compared to y = -1, x < y. Since x can be greater or less than y depending on the values chosen, the relationship cannot be established.
