Accepted Answer

I. p2  2p ndash 8  0    rArr p  4  p ndash 2  0    rArr p  2, - 4   II. q2 ndash 5q  6  0   rArr  q - 3  q - 2  0   rArr q  2, 3   Hence, q ge p      Alternate Method    if signs of quadratic equation is ve and -ve respectively then the roots of equation will be ve and -ve. note -ve sign will come in larger root So, roots of first equation  p  2, -4 if signs of quadratic equation is -ve and ve respectively then the roots of equation will be ve and ve. So, roots of second equation  q  2, 3 After comparing roots of quadratic eqution we can conclude that q ge p.

I. p2 + 2p – 8 = 0
II. q2 – 5q + 6 = 0
