Equations And Inequations Ques 56

I. $x^{2}-7 x+10=0$

II. $y^{2}-5 y+6=0$

Directions : In the following 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 $x \geq y$

(3) if $x<y$

(4) if $x \leq y$

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

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 56.(5)

Solution: (5) I. $x^{2}-7 x+10=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}-2 x-5 x+10=0$

$\Rightarrow x(x-2)-5(x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-5)(x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=5$ or, 2

II. $y^{2}-5 y+6=0$

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

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

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

$\Rightarrow y=3$ or, 2
