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. (49x^{2} - 42x - 16 = 0)\newline II. (7y^{2} + 37y + 10 = 0)

  1. X > Y

  2. X < Y

  3. X ≤ Y

  4. X ≥ Y

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

D Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation I gives x = 8/7 and x = -2/7. Solving equation II gives y = -5 and y = -2/7. Comparing the values: 8/7 > -5, 8/7 > -2/7, -2/7 > -5, and -2/7 = -2/7. Since all x values are greater than or equal to all y values (with equality at one point), x ≥ y is correct.
