Question

    In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given.You have to solve both the equations and give answer 

    i) p2+p=56                                         

    II) q2-17q+72=0

    A p > q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B p < q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C p ≥q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D p≤q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Relation cannot be established Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I.p+p=56  or  p2+p-56=0 p2+8p-7p-56=0  or, (p – 7)(p + 8) = 0 Or p = - 8 or 7 , II. q2-17q+72 , or  (q – 8)(q – 9) = 0,  Or q = 8 or 9,  Hence,  q > p
