Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

If x>=y

Solution :

To determine the correct relationship between x and y, let us solve both given equations step-by-step.

Step 1: Solve Equation (I) for x

The first equation is:

x3=729

Taking the cube root on both sides:

x=7293

x=9

Step 2: Solve Equation (II) for y

The second equation is a quadratic equation:

y2-15y+54=0

We split the middle term by finding two numbers that multiply to 54 and add up to -15. These numbers are -9 and -6:

y2-9y-6y+54=0

y(y-9)-6(y-9)=0

(y-9)(y-6)=0

Setting each factor equal to zero gives:

y=9 or y=6

Step 3: Compare the values of x and y

We have x=9 and the possible values of y are 9 and 6.
- When y=9, x=y.
- When y=6, x>y.

Combining both cases, we get:

xy (i.e., x>=y)

Hence, the correct answer is If x>=y.
