Equations And Inequations Ques 94

I. $\left(x^{\frac{7}{5}} \div 9\right)=169 \div x^{\frac{3}{5}}$

II. $y^{\frac{1}{4}} \times y^{\frac{1}{4}} \times 7=273 \div y^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Directions : In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer If

(1) $x>y$

(2) $\quad x \geq y$

(3) $x<y$

(4) $x \leq y$

(5) $x=y$ or the relationship cannot be established

Correct Answer: (4)

Solution: (4) I. $\frac{x^{7 / 5}}{9}=\frac{169}{x^{3 / 5}}$

$\Rightarrow x^{7 / 5} \times x^{3 / 5}=9 \times 169$

$\Rightarrow x^{\frac{7}{5}+\frac{3}{5}}=9 \times 169$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=9 \times 169$

$\Rightarrow x= \pm(3 \times 13)= \pm 39$

II. $y^{\frac{1}{4}} \times y^{\frac{1}{4}} \times 7=\frac{273}{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow y^{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{273}{7}$

$\Rightarrow y=39$

Clearly, $x \leq y$
