Direction: 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 ≥ y
( 3 ) if x < y
( 4 ) if x ≤ y
( 5 ) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
-
Ⅰ. x2 – 4 = 0
Ⅱ. y2 + 6y + 9 = 0
-
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
Correct Option: A
According to question ,we have
From equation Ⅰ. x2 – 4 = 0
⇒ x = ± 2,
From equation Ⅱ. y2 + 6y + 9 = 0
⇒ ( y + 3 )2 = 0
⇒ ( y + 3 )( y + 3 ) = 0
⇒ y + 3 = 0 ⇒ y = -3 , -3
Clearly , x > y is required answer .
