Question

    The question consists of two equations labeled as I and II. Solve both equations, compare their solutions, and establish the relationship between them.

    I). p 2  – 17p + 70 = 0 II). q

    2  – 25q + 154 = 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, p 2 – 17p + 70 = 0 p 2 – 10p – 7p + 70 = 0 p(p – 10) – 7(p – 10) = 0 p = + 10, + 7 q 2 – 25q + 154 = 0 q 2 – 11q – 14q + 154 = 0 q(q – 11) – 14(q – 11) = 0 q = + 11, + 14 Hence, p < q
