Equations And Inequations Ques 95

I. $5 x^{2}-11 x+2=0$

II. $3 y^{2}-5 y+2=0$

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: 95.(5)

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

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

$\Rightarrow 5 x(x-2)-1(x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-2)(5 x-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=2$ or, $\frac{1}{5}$

II. $3 y^{2}-5 y+2=0$

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

$\Rightarrow 3 y(y-1)-2(y-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-1)(3 y-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=1$ or, $\frac{2}{3}$
