if x > y

C

if x ≤ y

D

if x < y

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

if x ≥ y

if x ≥ y

Solution :

To determine the relationship between x and y, we need to solve the two quadratic equations separately.

Equation I:
10x2+13x14=0

To solve this quadratic equation, we can use the splitting the middle term method. We need to find two numbers whose product is 10×(14)=140 and whose sum is 13.
These numbers are 20 and 7 (since 20×(7)=140 and 207=13).

Rewriting the middle term:
10x2+20x7x14=0
10x(x+2)7(x+2)=0
(10x7)(x+2)=0

This gives the roots:
x=710=0.7 or x=2

Thus, the values of x are 0.7 and 2.

Equation II:
y2+5y+6=0

We need to find two numbers whose product is 6 and whose sum is 5.
These numbers are 3 and 2.

Rewriting the equation:
y2+3y+2y+6=0
y(y+3)+2(y+3)=0
(y+2)(y+3)=0

This gives the roots:
y=2 or y=3

Thus, the values of y are 2 and 3.

Comparing the values of x and y:
- Comparing x=0.7 with y=2 and 3: 0.7>2 and 0.7>3 (so x>y).
- Comparing x=2 with y=2 and 3: 2=2 (so x=y) and 2>3 (so x>y).

Combining all cases, we get:
xy

Therefore, the correct relation is if x ≥ y.
