Directions (Q. 1-5): In each of the following questions two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer:

1) if x > y
2) if x < y
3) if x <= y
4) if x >= y
5) if x = y or no relationship can be established between x and y.

1. 
I. 14 x^2 – 43x + 20 = 0
II. 33y^2 + 72y + 12 = 0

2. 
I. x^2 - 8 x + 15 = 0
II. y^2 - 5 y + 6 = 0

3. 
I. 4y^2 + 3 y - 1 = 0
II. x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0

4. 
I. 8x + 3y = 15
II. 6x + 2y = 12

5. 
I. 15x^2 - 13x2 + 2 = 0
II. 35y^2 - 12y + 1 = 0

Answers:

1. 1
14x^2 - 43x + 20 = 0
x = 4/7 or  5/2

33y^2 + 6y + 66y + 12 = 0
y = -2 or  -2/11

x > y

2. 4
x = 3 or, 5
y = 2 or, 3

3. 1

y = 1/4 or -1
x = 1 or 5

x > y

4. 2
x = 3, y = –3
x > y

5. 4
x = 1/5, 2/3
y = 1/7, 1/5
x >= y

6. 1
680 - 5^2 = 655
655 + 7^2 = 704
704 - 9^2 = 623
623 + 11^2 = 744
744 - 13^2 = 575

7. 3
10 × 1/2 + 5 = 10
10 × 1 + 10 = 20
20 × 1 1/2 + 15 = 45
45 × 2 + 20 = 110
110 × 2 1/2 + 25 = 300
300 × 3 + 30 = 930

8. 3
1 × 2 + 4 = 6
6 × 5 - 8 = 22
22 × 8 + 12 = 188
188 × 11 - 16 = 2052
2052 × 14 + 20 = 28748

9. 4
50327 - 12^2 ÷ 7 = 7169
7169 + 11^2 ÷ 6 = 1215
1215 - 10^2 ÷ 5 = 223
223 + 9^2 ÷ 4 = 76
76 - 8^2 ÷ 3 = 4

10. 2
2 + 3 × 4 = 14
4 + 5 × 6 = 34
6 + 7 × 8 = 62
8 + 9 × 10 = 98
10 + 11 × 12 = 142
12 + 13 × 14 = 194
