Question

In the following question, two equations numbered I and II are given. Solve both the equations and mark the appropriate option:
$I.x^2+5x+6=0$
$II.y^2+9y+14=0$

• A. x < y
• B. x > y
• C. x y
• D. x y
• E. x = y or the relationship between 'x' & 'y' cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is E x = y or the relationship between 'x' & 'y' cannot be determined

$I.x^2+3x+2x+6=0\Rightarrow (x+3)(x+2)=0\Rightarrow x=-3or-2II.y^2+7y+2y+14=0\Rightarrow (y+7)(y+2)=0\Rightarrow y=-7or-2$
Hence, no definite relationship can be established between $x$ and $y$.
