Equations And Inequations Ques 110

I. $3 x^{2}-8 x+4=0$

II. $6 y^{2}-7 y+2=0$

Directions : In each of these questions, two equations I and II are given. Solve both the equations and select the appropriate answer from the codes given below.

(1) If $x>y$

(2) If $x \geq y$

(3) If $x<y$

(4) If $x \leq y$

(5) If $x=y$ or no relationship can be established between $x$ and $y$

Correct Answer: 110.(2)

Solution: (2) I. $3 x^{2}-8 x+4=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x^{2}-2 x-6 x+4=0$

$\Rightarrow x(3 x-2)-2(3 x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-2)(3 x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=2$ or $\frac{2}{3}$

II. $6 y^{2}-7 y+2=0$

$\Rightarrow 6 y^{2}-3 y-4 y+2=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 y(2 y-1)-2(2 y-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(2 y-1)(3 y-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}$ or, $\frac{2}{3}$

Clearly, $x \geq y$
