    Question

    For each question below, two equations are provided. Solve these equations to determine the relationship between p and q.

    I). p2 + 8p + 15 = 0 II).

    q2 + 9q + 20 = 0
    A p > q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B p < q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C p = q or relationship between p and q can’t be established. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D p ≥ q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E p ≤ q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, P2 +8p+15=0 or, p2 +5p+3p+15=0 or, (p+5)(p+3)=0, p=-5,-3 q2 +9q+20=0 or, q2 +5q+4q+20=0 or, (q+5)(q+4)=0 so, q=-5,-4 The relationship between p and q cannot be determined
