Equations And Inequations Ques 98

I. $6 x^{2}+5 x+1=0$

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

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) $x>y$

(3) $x \leq y$

(4) $x \geq y$

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

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 98.(2)

Solution: (2) I. $6 x^{2}+5 x+1=0$

$\Rightarrow 6 x^{2}+3 x+2 x+1=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x(2 x+1)+1(2 x+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(2 x+1)(3 x+1)=0$

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

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

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

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

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

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

Clearly, $x>y$
