Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option E

If x = y or no relation can be established between x and y

Solution :

The correct option is If x = y or no relation can be established between x and y.

To determine the relation between x and y, we need to solve both quadratic equations step-by-step.

Step 1: Solve Equation I for x

The first equation is:

3x2-14x+15=0

We need to find two numbers whose product is 3×15=45 and whose sum is -14. These numbers are -9 and -5.
Splitting the middle term:

3x2-9x-5x+15=0

Factor by grouping:

3x(x-3)-5(x-3)=0

(3x-5)(x-3)=0

Thus, the values of x are:

x=531.67 and x=3

Step 2: Solve Equation II for y

The second equation is:

6y2-31y+18=0

We need to find two numbers whose product is 6×18=108 and whose sum is -31. These numbers are -27 and -4.
Splitting the middle term:

6y2-27y-4y+18=0

Factor by grouping:

3y(2y-9)-2(2-9)=0

(3y-2)(2y-9)=0

Thus, the values of y are:

y=230.67 and y=92=4.5

Step 3: Compare the values of x and y

1. Comparing x=1.67 with y=0.67: Here, x>y.
2. Comparing x=1.67 with y=4.5: Here, x<y.
3. Comparing x=3 with y=0.67: Here, x>y.
4. Comparing x=3 with y=4.5: Here, x<y.

Since we get both x>y and x<y upon comparison, no definite relationship can be established between x and y.
