    Question

    In each of these questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer:

    I. 14p² + 9p - 8 = 0 II. 4q² - 19q + 12

    = 0
    A P=Qrelationship cannot be established between p and q. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B P>Q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C P Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D P>=Q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E P<=Q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I. 14p² + 9p - 8 = 0 14p² +16p -7p - 8 = 0 ⟹ 2p (7p + 8) - 1(7p + 8) = 0 ⟹ (2p - 1)(7p + 8)= 0 ⟹ p = 1/2, -8/7 II. 4q² - 19q + 12 = 0 ⟹ 4 q² - 16q - 3q + 12 =0 ⟹ 4 q(q - 4) - 3(q - 4)= 0 ⟹ (4q - 3) (q - 4)= 0 ⟹ q =4, 3/4 Hence p < q.
