Question

In each of the following questions, there are two equations. You have to solve both equations and mark the correct answer.

I. x2 + x – 42 = 0

II. y2 + 6y – 27 = 0

A if x > y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B if x ≥ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C if x < y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D if x = y or relationship cannot be established. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

I. x2+ x – 42 = 0 => x2+ 7x – 6x – 42 = 0 => x(x + 7) – 6(x + 7) = 0 => (x + 7) (x -6) = 0 => x = -7, 6 II. y2+ 6y – 27 = 0 => y2+ 9y – 3y – 27 = 0 => y(y + 9) – 3(y + 9) = 0 => (y + 9) (y – 3) = 0 => y = -9, 3 Hence, the relationship cannot be established between x and y.
