Question

    Equation 1: x² - 250x + 15625 = 0 Equation 2:

    y² - 240y + 14400 = 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 - 250x + 15625 = 0 Factorizing: (x - 125)(x - 125) = 0 So, x = 125 (repeated root). From Equation 2: y² - 240y + 14400 = 0 Factorizing: (y - 120)(y - 120) = 0 So, y = 120 (repeated root). Comparing x and y: x = 125, y = 120 → x > y Correct option: A) x > y
