Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

If x > y

Solution :

The correct option is If x > y.

To determine the relationship between x and y, we solve both quadratic equations given in the question.

Step 1: Solve Equation (I) for x

The given equation is:
9x26x+1=0

Notice that this is a perfect square quadratic expression of the form ab2=a22ab+b2, where a=3x and b=1.

Rewriting the equation:
3x12=0

Taking the square root on both sides:
3x1=0
3x=1
x=13

Step 2: Solve Equation (II) for y

The given equation is:
36y212y+1=0

Similarly, this is also a perfect square expression, where a=6y and b=1.

Rewriting the equation:
6y12=0

Taking the square root on both sides:
6y1=0
6y=1
y=16

Step 3: Compare the values of x and y

Comparing x=13 and y=16:
Since 13>16 (or 0.333>0.166), we have:
x>y

Therefore, the correct relationship is If x > y.
