Question

    In each of the following questions, there are two equations. You have to solve both equations and mark the correct answer.

    I. x2 - 11x + 24 = 0 II. y² - 5y

    + 6 = 0
    A if x > y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B if x ≥ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C if x < y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D if x ≤ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I. x2– 11x + 24 =0 => x2- 8x - 3x + 24 = 0 => x(x - 8) - 3(x - 8) = 0 => (x - 8) (x - 3) = 0 => x = 8, 3 II. y² - 5y + 6 = 0 => y2- 2y - 3y + 6 = 0 => y(y - 2) - 3(y - 2) = 0 => (y - 2) (y - 3) = 0 => y = 2, 3 Hence, x ≥ y.
