Equations And Inequations Ques 190

I. $2 x^{2}-11 x+14=0$

II. $2 y^{2}-7 y+6=0$

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

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 190.(1)

Solution: (1) I. $2 x^{2}-11 x+14=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 x^{2}-4 x-7 x+14=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 x(x-2)-7(x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-2)(2 x-7)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=2$ or $\frac{7}{2}$

II. $2 y^{2}-7 y+6=0$

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

$\Rightarrow 2 y(y-2)-3(y-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-2)(2 y-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=2$ or $\frac{3}{2}$

Clearly, $x \geq y$
