Equations And Inequations Ques 189

I. $x^{2}=81$

II. $y^{2}+13 y+36=0$

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

(1) if $\quad x \geq y$

(2) if $x \leq y$

(3) if $x>y$

(4) if $x<y$

(5) if $x=y \quad$ or relationship between $x$ and $y$ cannot be established

Correct Answer: 189.(5)

Solution: (5) I. $x^{2}=81$

$\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{81}= \pm 9$

II. $y^{2}+13 y+36=0$

$\Rightarrow y^{2}+9 y+4 y+36=0$

$\Rightarrow y(y+9)+4(y+9)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y+4)(y+9)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=-4$ or -9
