Multiple choice

Directions: In the question, two equations numbered (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and then mark the appropriate answer. (I) x2 = (8)2 + (6)2 (II) 35y2 + 11y – 6 = 0

  1. x = y or no relationship can be established between them.

  2. x > y

  3. x < y

  4. x ≥ y

  5. x ≤ y

A Correct answer
Explanation

I: x^2 = 64 + 36 = 100, so x = 10 or -10. II: 35y^2 + 11y - 6 = 0. Using quadratic formula: y = (-11 +/- sqrt(121 - 4*35*-6)) / 70 = (-11 +/- sqrt(121 + 840)) / 70 = (-11 +/- 31) / 70. y = 20/70 = 2/7 or y = -42/70 = -0.6. Comparing x and y, no consistent relationship exists.
