Question

    The following question contains two equations as I and II. You have to solve both equations and determine the relationship between them and give the answer.

    I. 3p2 - 11p + 10 = 0 II.

    42q2 + q -1 = 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, 3p2 - 11p + 10 = 0 3p2- 6p – 5p + 10 = 0 3p(p-2) – 5(p-2) = 0 p = 5/3, 2 42q2 + q - 1 = 0 42q2 + 7q – 6q - 1 = 0 7q(6q+1) – 1(6q+1) = 0 q = 1/7 , -1/6 Hence, p > q
