Equations And Inequations Ques 46

I. $x^{2}-11 x+24=0$

II. $y^{2}-14 y+45=0$

Directions : In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer.

(1) if $x>y$

(2) if $x \geq y$

(3) if $x<y$

(4) if $x \leq y$

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

Correct Answer: 46.(5)

Solution: (5) I. $x^{2}-11 x+24=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}-3 x-8 x+24=0$

$\Rightarrow x(x-3)-8(x-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-8)(x-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=8$ or, 3

II. $y^{2}-14 y+45=0$

$\Rightarrow y^{2}-5 y-9 y+45=0$

$\Rightarrow y(y-5)-9(y-5)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-5)(y-9)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=5$ or, 9
