Question

    Solve the quadratic equations and determine the relation

    between x and y: Equation 1: x² - 34x + 285 = 0 Equation 2: y² - 26y + 165 = 0
    A x > y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B x ≥ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C x < y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D x ≤ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E x = y or no relation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From Equation 1: x² - 34x + 285 = 0 Factorizing: (x - 15)(x - 19) = 0 So, x = 15 or x = 19. From Equation 2: y² - 26y + 165 = 0 Factorizing: (y - 11)(y - 15) = 0 So, y = 11 or y = 15. Comparing x and y: x = 15, y = 11, x > y x = 15, y = 15, x = y x = 19, y = 11, x > y x = 19, y = 15, x > y Correct option: B) x ≥ y
