I: x224x+143=0
II: y213y+22=0

Options

A

If x > y

B

If x ≥ y

C

If x < y

D

If x ≤ y

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

If x ≥ y

If x ≥ y

Solution :

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

Step 1: Solve Equation (I)
The first equation is:

x224x+143=0

To solve this quadratic equation, we find two numbers that multiply to 143 and add up to 24.
These two numbers are 11 and 13.
Thus, we can factor the equation as:

(x11)(x13)=0

Therefore, the roots for x are:

x=11

and

x=13

Step 2: Solve Equation (II)
The second equation is:

y213y+22=0

Similarly, we find two numbers that multiply to 22 and add up to 13.
These two numbers are 11 and 2.
Thus, we can factor the equation as:

(y11)(y2)=0

Therefore, the roots for y are:

y=11

and

y=2

Step 3: Compare the values of x and y
Let us compare each value of x with the values of y:
- For x=13, comparing with y=11 and y=2, we have x>y.
- For x=11, comparing with y=11, we have x=y; comparing with y=2, we have x>y.
Combining these observations, we conclude that x is always greater than or equal to y.
Thus, the relationship is xy.
