Equations And Inequations Ques 34

I. $10 x^{2}+11 x+1=0$

II. $15 y^{2}+8 y+1=0$

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: 34.(5)

Solution: (5) I. $10 x^{2}+11 x+1=0$

$\Rightarrow 10 x^{2}+10 x+x+1=0$

$\Rightarrow 10 x(x+1)+1(x+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x+1)(10 x+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-1$ or $-\frac{1}{10}$

II. $15 y^{2}+8 y+1=0$

$\Rightarrow 15 y^{2}+5 y+3 y+1=0$

$\Rightarrow 5 y(3 y+1)+1(3 y+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(5 y+1)(3 y+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=-\frac{1}{5}$ or $-\frac{1}{3}$
