Question

The square roots of two numbers x, y are 25 and 12. It is given that x < y. Choose the correct options.

• A. $\sqrt{x}$ = 12
• B. $\sqrt{x}$ = 25
• C. $\sqrt{y}$ = 12
• D. $\sqrt{y}$ = 25

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A $\sqrt{x}$ = 12
D $\sqrt{y}$ = 25

Square root of a smaller number will be less than than the square root of the larger number.
$x<y⟹\sqrt{x}<\sqrt{y}$
$12<25\Rightarrow \sqrt{x}=12$ and $\sqrt{y}=25$
