Equations And Inequations Ques 31

I. $x^{2}-9 x+18=0$

II. $5 y^{2}-22 y+24=0$

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

(1) if $x<y$

(2) if $x>y$

(3) if $x<y$

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

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

Correct Answer: 31.(2)

Solution: (2) I. $x^{2}-9 x+18=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}-3 x-6 x+18=0$

$\Rightarrow x(x-3)-6(x-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-3)(x-6)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=3$ or 6

II. $5 y^{2}-22 y+24=0$

$\Rightarrow 5 y^{2}-10 y-12 y+24=0$

$\Rightarrow 5 y(y-2)-12(y-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-2)(5 y-12)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=2$ or $\frac{12}{5}$

Clearly, $x>y$
