Equations And Inequations Ques 183

I. $x^{2}-6 x+9=0$

II. $y^{2}-11 y+24=0$

Directions : In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer If

(1) $x>$

(2) $\quad x \geq y$

(3) $x<y$

(4) $x \leq y$

(5) $\quad x=y$ or the relationship cannot be established

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 183.(4)

Solution: (4) I. $x^{2}-6 x+9=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-3)^{2}=0 \Rightarrow x-3=0$

$\Rightarrow x=3$ II. $y^{2}-11 y+24=0$

$\Rightarrow y^{2}-8 y-3 y+24=0$

$\Rightarrow y(y-8)-3(y-8)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-3)(y-8)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=3$ or 8

Clearly, $x \leq y$
