Multiple choice

In each question two equations numbered I and II are given, you have to solve both the equation and choose the correct answer.\newline I. (x^2 - 17x - 84 = 0)\newline II. (y^2 + 4y - 117 = 0)

  1. X > Y

  2. X < Y

  3. X ≤ Y

  4. X ≥ Y

  5. X = Y or the relationship can’t be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Equation I: x² - 17x - 84 = 0 gives x = (17 ± 25)/2 = 21 or -4. Equation II: y² + 4y - 117 = 0 gives y = (-4 ± 22)/2 = 9 or -13. Comparing: When x = 21, y could be 9 (x > y) or -13 (x > y). When x = -4, y could be 9 (x < y) or -13 (x > y). The relationship varies, so it cannot be established.
