Multiple choice

In the following question two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and choose the correct option. I. (x^2 – 21x + 98 = 0) II. (y^2 – 35y + 304 = 0)

  1. x > y

  2. x < y

  3. x ≥ y

  4. x ≤ y

  5. x = y or relation can’t be established.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Solving x² - 21x + 98 = 0 gives x = 7 or 14. Solving y² - 35y + 304 = 0 gives y = 16 or 19. Both x values (7, 14) are less than both y values (16, 19), so x < y is correct.
