Question

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

    I). 4p + 3q = 25 II). 5p + 2q =

    26 
    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, 4p+3q=25→1×2 , 5p+2q=26-----→2×3 So, 8p+6q-15p-6q=50-78 Or, 7p=28, p=28/7=4 So, 3q=25-4×4=9 Or, q = 9/3 = 3 So, p > q
