Directions: In the given question, two equations numbered I and II are provided. Solve both equations and establish the correct relationship between x and y.
I:
II:
Correct Answer :
If x > y
Solution :
The correct option is If x > y.
Solving Equation I:
We look for two numbers whose product is 150 and sum is -25. These numbers are -15 and -10.
Therefore, the values of x are:
or
Solving Equation II:
We look for two numbers whose product is 10 and sum is -7. These numbers are -5 and -2.
Therefore, the values of y are:
or
Comparing x and y:
Comparing each value of x with each value of y:
When : 15 > 5 and 15 > 2 (so ).
When : 10 > 5 and 10 > 2 (so ).
In all cases, every value of x is strictly greater than every value of y. Hence, the correct relationship is .
