Equations And Inequations Ques 120

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

II. $4 y^{2}+23 y+15=0$

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: 120.(1)

Solution: (1) I. $3 x^{2}-4 x-4=0$

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

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

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

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

$=2$ or, -0.67

II. $4 y^{2}+23 y+15=0$

$\Rightarrow 4 y^{2}+20 y+3 y+15=0$

$\Rightarrow 4 y(y+5)+3(y+5)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y+5)(4 y+3)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=-5$ or, $-\frac{3}{4}$

$=-5$ or, -0.75

Clearly, $x>y$
