Equations And Inequations Ques 191

I. $3 x^{2}-13 x+14=0$

II. $3 y^{2}-17 y+22=0$

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: 191.(2)

Solution: (2) I. $3 x^{2}-13 x+14=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x^{2}-6 x-7 x+14=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x(x-2)-7(x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-2)(3 x-7)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=2$ or $\frac{7}{3}$

II. $3 y^{2}-17 y+22=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 y^{2}-6 y-11 y+22=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 y(y-2)-11(y-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-2)(3 y-11)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=2$ or $\frac{11}{3}$

Clearly, $y \leq x$
