Question

In the following questions, two equations numbered I and II are given.  You have to solve both the equations and give answer.

I. x2 + 25x + 154 = 0

II. y2 + 27y + 181 = 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 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E If x = y or Relationship between x & y cannot be established Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

I. x2 + 25x + 154 = 0 => x+ 14x + 11x + 154 = 0 => x(x + 14) + 11(x + 14) = 0 => (x + 11) (x + 14) = 0 => x = -11, -14 II. y2 + 27y + 181 = 0 => y2 + 14y + 13y + 181 = 0 => y(y + 14) + 13(y + 14) = 0 => (y + 14) (y + 13) = 0 => y = -14, -13 Hence, x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
