Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

If x ≤ y

If x ≤ y

Solution :

To find the relationship between x and y, we need to solve both quadratic equations separately and compare their roots.

Step 1: Solve Equation (I) for x
The first equation is:
x2-20x+91=0

We can solve this quadratic equation by factoring. We look for two numbers that multiply to 91 and add up to -20.
These two numbers are -13 and -7, since:
(-13)×(-7)=91
and
(-13)+(-7)=-20

Thus, we can rewrite the equation as:
(x-13)(x-7)=0

This gives the roots:
x=13 or x=7

Step 2: Solve Equation (II) for y
The second equation is:
y2-28y+195=0

Similarly, we look for two numbers that multiply to 195 and add up to -28.
These two numbers are -15 and -13, since:
(-15)×(-13)=195
and
(-15)+(-13)=-28

Thus, we can rewrite the equation as:
(y-15)(y-13)=0

This gives the roots:
y=15 or y=13

Step 3: Compare the values of x and y
Let us compare each value of x with each value of y:
- For x=7:
Comparing with y=13, we have 7<13 (x<y).
Comparing with y=15, we have 7<15 (x<y).
- For x=13:
Comparing with y=13, we have 13=13 (x=y).
Comparing with y=15, we have 13<15 (x<y).

Combining all the comparisons, we find that x is either less than or equal to y in all cases.

Therefore, the relationship is xy.
