Multiple choice

Find the values of variables and state the correct relationship-(2x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0)(y^2 - 10y + 21 = 0)

  1. $\(x < y\)$
  2. $\(x > y\)$
  3. $\(x ≤ y\)$
  4. $\(x ≥ y\)$

  5. x = y or Relation cannot be established

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solving 2x² - 5x - 3 = 0 gives x = 3 or x = -0.5. Solving y² - 10y + 21 = 0 gives y = 7 or y = 3. When x = -0.5, x < y for both. When x = 3, x < y when y=7 but x = y when y=3. Thus x ≤ y.
