Equations And Inequations Ques 119

I. $6 x^{2}-x-2=0$

II. $5 y^{2}-18 y+9=0$

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 $y$

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 119.(5)

Solution: (5) I. $6 x^{2}-x-2=0$

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

$\Rightarrow 2 x(3 x-2)+1(3 x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(3 x-2)(2 x+1)=0$

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

$=0.67$ or, -0.5

II. $5 y^{2}-18 y+9=0$

$\Rightarrow 5 y^{2}-3 y-15 y+9=0$

$\Rightarrow y(5 y-3)-3(5 y-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-3)(5 y-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=3$ or, $\frac{3}{5}=3$ or, 0.6
