Directions (41-45):In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. Solve the equations and mark the correct option.
I. 5x2 + 11x + 2 = 0
II. 4y2 + 13y + 3 = 0
Correct Answer :
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 relationship between and , we need to solve both quadratic equations step-by-step.
Step 1: Solve Equation I for
The given equation is:
We split the middle term such that the product of the coefficients is and their sum is (i.e., and ):
Setting each factor equal to zero gives:
or
Step 2: Solve Equation II for
The given equation is:
We split the middle term such that the product of the coefficients is and their sum is (i.e., and ):
Setting each factor equal to zero gives:
or
Step 3: Compare the values of and
Let's compare each value of with each value of :
1. When and : here because is larger than .
2. When and : here because is smaller than .
Since we obtain both and , no definite relationship can be established between and .
