  1. x > y

  2. x < y

  3. x ≥ y

  4. x ≤ y

  5. x = y or relation between x and y can not be established.

E Correct answer
Explanation

Equation I: x² - 17x + 72 = (x-8)(x-9) = 0, so x = 8 or 9. Equation II: y² - y - 72 = (y-9)(y+8) = 0, so y = 9 or -8. Since x can be >, <, or = y depending on values, no relation can be established.
