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. $I. (x^2 = 4)$ $II. (y^2 = y)$

  1. $\(X > Y\)$
  2. $\(X < Y\)$
  3. $\(X \le Y\)$
  4. $\(X \ge Y\)$
  5. X = Y or the relationship cannot be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Equation I: x² = 4 gives x = 2, -2. Equation II: y² = y means y² - y = 0, so y(y-1) = 0, giving y = 0, 1. The values are {2, -2} and {0, 1}. Since x has values both above and below y (2 > 1 and -2 < 0), no consistent relationship exists.
