Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- I. $ {{(17)}^{2}}+114\cdot 18=x $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 17^{2}+\frac{114}{18}=x $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 289+6.33=x $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 295.33=x $ II. $ {{(26)}^{2}}-18\times 21=y $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 676-378=y $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 298=y $
$ \therefore $ $ y>x $
