Direction: In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer
( 1 ) x > y
( 2 ) x ≥ y
( 3 ) x < y
( 4 ) x ≤ y
( 5 ) x = y or the relationship cannot be established.

  1. Ⅰ. ( 17 )2 + 144 ÷ 18 = x
    Ⅱ. ( 26 )2 - 18 × 21 = y
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
    5. 5
Correct Option: C

According to question , we have
From equation Ⅰ.
( 17 )2 + 144 ÷ 18 = x

⇒ x = 172 + 144 ×
1
18
∴ x = 289 + 8 = 297

From equation Ⅱ.
( 26 )2 - 18 × 21 = y
⇒ y = 262 - 18 × 21
∴ y = 676 - 378 = 298
From above equations it is clear that correct answer is x < y .
