In the given question, two equations numbered l and II are given. Solve both the equations and mark the appropriate answer.I. 3x2 + 2x – 1 = 0II. 11y2 + 18y + 7 = 0 1. x > y2. x < y3. x ≥ y4. x ≤ y5. x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established.

Calculation:

From I,

3x 2 + 2x – 1 = 0

⇒ 3x2 + 3x – x – 1 = 0

⇒ 3x(x + 1) – 1(x + 1) = 0

⇒ (3x – 1)(x + 1) = 0

Taking, 

⇒ 3x – 1 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

⇒ x = 1/3 or x = –1

 

From II,

11y2 + 18y + 7 = 0 

⇒ 11y2 + 11y + 7y +7 = 0

⇒ 11y(y + 1) + 7(y + 1) = 0

⇒ (y + 1)(11y + 7) = 0

Taking, 

⇒ y + 1 = 0 or 11y + 7 = 0

⇒ y = –1 or y = –7/11

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation)

Value of x

Value of y

Relation

1/3

–1

x > y

1/3

–7/11

x > y

–1

–1

x = y

–1

–7/11

x < y

 

∴x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established.
