Multiple choice

In each of these questions, two equations (a) and (b) are given. You have to solve both the equations and choose the correct option. a) (x^2 - 12x - 108 = 0) b) (y^2 + 28y + 132 = 0)

  1. $\(x > y\)$
  2. $\(x \le y\)$
  3. $\(x \ge y\)$
  4. $\(x < y\)$

  5. x = y or relationship between x and y can't be established

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solving x^2 - 12x - 108 = 0 gives x = -6 or 18. Solving y^2 + 28y + 132 = 0 gives y = -6 or -22. Since x can be 18 (greater than y's max -6) and both equal -6, x ≥ y is correct.
