Direction: In each of these questions, two equations and are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer
( 1 ) if x < y
( 2 ) if x > y
( 3 ) if x = y
( 4 ) if x ≥ y
( 5 ) if x ≤ y or no relationship can be established between x and y.

  1. Ⅰ. 6x2 + 77x + 121 = 0
    Ⅱ. y2 + 9y − 22 = 0
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
    5. 5
Correct Option: E

From the given above equations , we have
Ⅰ. 6x2 + 77x + 121 = 0
⇒ 6x2 + 66x + 11x + 121 = 0
⇒ 6x(x + 11) + 11(x + 11) = 0
⇒ (6x + 11)(x + 11) = 0

∴ x = -
11
, - 11
6

Ⅱ. y2 + 9y − 22 = 0
⇒ y2 + 11y − 2y − 22 = 0
⇒ y(y + 11) - 2(y + 11)
⇒ (y − 2)(y + 11) = 0
⇒ y = 2, –11
Hence, no relationship can be established between x and y.
