Equations And Inequations Ques 32

I. $6 x^{2}+11 x+5=0$

II. $2 y^{2}+5 y+3=0$

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: 32.(4)

Solution: (4) I. $6 x^{2}+11 x+5=0$

$\Rightarrow 6 x^{2}+6 x+5 x+5=0$

$\Rightarrow 6 x(x+1)+5(x+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(6 x+5)(x+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-5}{6}$ or -1

II. $2 y^{2}+5 y+3=0$

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

$\Rightarrow 2 y(y+1)+3(y+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y+1)(2 y+3)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=-1$ or $\frac{-3}{2}$

Clearly, $x \geq y$
