Question

In the following question, two equations numbered I and II are given. Solve both the equations and mark the appropriate option:
$I.2x^2+x-15=0$
$II.y^2+11y+24=0$

• A. if x > y
• B. if x < y
• C. if x y
• D. if x y
• E. if x = y or relationship between x and y cannot be determined
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C if x y

$2x^2+x-15=0(2x-5)(x+3)=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{5}{2},-3y^2+11y+24=0(y+3)(y+8)=0\Rightarrow y=-3,-8\therefore x\ge y$
