In each question two equations number (I) and (II) are given. You should solve both the equations and mark appropriate answer.
I.
II.
Correct Answer :
If x<y
Solution :
To determine the relationship between and , we need to solve both quadratic equations.
Step 1: Solve Equation I
The first equation is:
To solve this by factorization, we look for two numbers that multiply to and add up to .
These numbers are and (since and ).
Split the middle term:
Factor by grouping:
This gives the roots:
or
Step 2: Solve Equation II
The second equation is:
To solve this by factorization, we look for two numbers that multiply to and add up to .
These numbers are and .
Split the middle term:
Factor by grouping:
This gives the roots:
or
Step 3: Compare the values of x and y
Let us compare the values:
- For , comparing with and shows that in both cases.
- For , comparing with and also shows that since and .
Therefore, for all values, we find that .
