Question

    In the given questions, you will find two equations labeled as I and II. solve both equations and determine the accurate relationship between the variables 'p' and 'q'. Choose the correct option based on your analysis of the solutions.

    I. 27(p + 2) = 2p(24 – p) II. 2q2

    – 25q + 78 = 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 or the relationship cannot be established Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E p ≤ q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, From I: 27(p + 2) = 2p(24 – p) Or, 27p + 54 – 48p + 2p2 = 0 Or, 2p2 – 21p + 54 = 0 Or, 2p2 – 12p – 9p + 54 = 0 Or, 2p(p – 6) – 9(p – 6) = 0 Or, (2p – 9)(p – 6) = 0 Or, p = (9/2) or 6 From II: 2q2 – 25q + 78 = 0 Or, 2q2 – 12q – 13q + 78 = 0 Or, 2q(q – 6) – 13(q – 6) = 0 Or, (2q – 13)(q – 6) = 0 Or, q = (13/2) or 6 Therefore, q ≥ p
