Question Details

In each of these questions, two equation (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer

I. 3 x 2 5 x 28 = 0 II. y 2 10 y + 25 = 0

Options

A

If x > y

B

If x ≥ y

C

If x < y

D

If x ≤ y

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

If x ≤ y

Solution :

To determine the relationship between x and y, we need to solve both given quadratic equations step-by-step.

Correct Option: If x ≤ y

Step 1: Solve Equation I for x

The first equation is:

3 x 2 5 x 28 = 0

We split the middle term 5x into two terms such that their product is equal to 3×(28)=84 and their sum is equal to 5. The numbers are 12 and 7.

3 x 2 12 x + 7 x 28 = 0

Factoring by grouping:

3 x ( x 4 ) + 7 ( x 4 ) = 0

( 3 x + 7 ) ( x 4 ) = 0

This gives the values for x:

x = 4
or
x = 7 3 2.33

Step 2: Solve Equation II for y

The second equation is:

y 2 10 y + 25 = 0

This can be recognized as a perfect square expansion (y5)2=0:

( y 5 ) ( y 5 ) = 0

This gives the value for y:

y = 5

Step 3: Compare the values of x and y

Comparing each value of x with y=5:

1. For x=4: 4<5, so x<y
2. For x=2.33: 2.33<5, so x<y

In both cases, x<y, which satisfies the condition If x ≤ y.
