In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answers.
Correct Answer :
x ≤ y
Solution :
To determine the relationship between and , we solve both quadratic equations.
Step 1: Solve Equation (I)
The first equation is:
We factor this quadratic equation by finding two numbers that multiply to 35 and add up to 12. These numbers are 5 and 7.
Thus, the roots for are:
or
Step 2: Solve Equation (II)
The second equation is:
Similarly, we factor this quadratic equation by finding two numbers that multiply to 10 and add up to 7. These numbers are 2 and 5.
Thus, the roots for are:
or
Step 3: Compare the values of x and y
Let's compare each value of with the values of :
- For :
Comparing with , we have (so ).
Comparing with , we have (so ).
- For :
Comparing with , we have (so ).
Comparing with , we have (so ).
Combining these relations, we conclude that .
