Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1) I. $17 x^{2}+48 x-9=0$

$\Rightarrow 17 x^{2}+51 x-3 x-9=0$ $\Rightarrow 17 x(x+3)-3(x+3)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x+3)(17 x-3)=0$

$\therefore x=-3$ or $\frac{3}{17}$

II. $13 y^{2}-32 y+12=0$

$\Rightarrow 13 y^{2}-26 y-6 y+12=0$

$\Rightarrow 13 y(y-2)-6(y-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-2)(13 y-6)=0$

$\therefore y=2$ or $\frac{6}{13}$

Clearly, $x<y$
