Equations And Inequations Ques 59

I. $2 x^{2}-13 x+18=0$

II. $y^{2}-7 y+12=0$

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: 59.(5)

Solution: (5) I. $2 x^{2}-13 x+18=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 x^{2}-4 x-9 x+18=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 x(x-2)-9(x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-2)(2 x-9)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=2$ or, $\frac{9}{2}$

II. $y^{2}-7 y+12=0$

$\Rightarrow y^{2}-4 y-3 y+12=0$

$\Rightarrow y(y-4)-3(y-4)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-3)(y-4)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=3$ or, 4
