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 for
Equation I is given by:
We can solve this quadratic equation using factorization. We need to find two numbers that multiply to and add up to . These numbers are and .
Rewriting the middle term:
Now, we group the terms and factor them:
Thus, the roots for equation I are:
and
So, the values of are and .
Step 2: Solve Equation II for
Equation II is given by:
We need to find two numbers that multiply to and add up to . These numbers are and .
Rewriting the middle term:
Now, group the terms and factor:
Thus, the roots for equation II are:
and
So, the values of are and .
Step 3: Compare the values of and
We have:
Comparing each value of with each value of :
- For , both and are greater (i.e., ).
- For , both and are greater (i.e., ).
Therefore, we can conclude that is always true.
