Multiple choice

In each question two equations numbered I and II are given, you have to solve both the equation and state the correct relationship. I. (x^2 + 30x + 81 = 0) II. (y^2 - 9y - 162 = 0)

  1. X > Y

  2. X < Y

  3. X ≤ Y

  4. X ≥ Y

  5. X = Y or the relationship cannot be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solve equation I: x² + 30x + 81 = 0 gives x = -3, -27. Solve equation II: y² - 9y - 162 = 0 gives y = -9, 18. The value sets overlap and interleave (x has both negative values, y has one negative and one positive), so no single relationship like x > y or x < y holds for all pairs.
