Q:

In the question, two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer

x2-11x+28=0y2-18y+81=0

A) x > y B) x < y
C)  x=y, or relation cannot be established between x and y D) x ≥ y
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) x < y

Explanation:

x2 – 11x + 28=0

x2 – 7x – 4x + 28=0

x (x-7) – 4 (x-7)=0

(x-4) (x-7)=0 x=4, 7

y2 – 18y + 81=0

y2 –9y – 9y + 81=0

y (y-9) – 9 (y-9)=0

(y-9) (y-9)=0 y=9, 9

So, x<y.
