Question

    In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations. Give answer if; (1) p>q, (2) p<q, (3) p=q, (4) p ≥ q (5) p ≤ q

    (I)`3p^2 + 17p + 10 = 0` (II)

    >`10q^2 + 9q + 2 = 0`
    A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I.`3p^2 + 17p + 10 = 0` , or 3p(p + 5) + 2(p + 5) = 0, Or (3p+ 2)(p + 5) = 0, p = - `2/3` , -5 II. `10q^2 + 9q + 2 = 0` , or `10q^2 + 5q + 4q + 2 = 0` , 5q(2q + 1) + 2(2q + 1) = 0, or (5q + 2)(2q + 1) = 0 , q = `2/5, 1/2` , Hence, q > p
