DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $8x^2 + 6x = 5$
$II.$ $12y^2 - 22y + 8 = 0$
A
if $x < y$
B
if $x > y$
C
if $x \leq y$
D
if $x \geq y$

Solution

(C) $I.$ $8x^2 + 6x - 5 = 0$
$8x^2 + 10x - 4x - 5 = 0$
$2x(4x + 5) - 1(4x + 5) = 0$
$(2x - 1)(4x + 5) = 0$
$x = \frac{1}{2}, -\frac{5}{4}$
$II.$ $12y^2 - 22y + 8 = 0$
$12y^2 - 16y - 6y + 8 = 0$
$4y(3y - 4) - 2(3y - 4) = 0$
$(4y - 2)(3y - 4) = 0$
$y = \frac{1}{2}, \frac{4}{3}$
Comparing the values:
$x = 0.5, -1.25$
$y = 0.5, 1.33$
Since all values of $x$ are less than or equal to the values of $y$,we conclude $x \leq y$.

DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $18 x^{2}+18 x+4=0$
$II.$ $12 y^{2}+29 y+14=0$
A
if $x > y$
B
if $x \geq y$
C
if $x < y$
D
if $x \leq y$

Solution

(B) For equation $I$: $18 x^{2}+18 x+4=0$
Divide by $2$: $9 x^{2}+9 x+2=0$
$9 x^{2}+6 x+3 x+2=0$
$3 x(3 x+2)+1(3 x+2)=0$
$(3 x+1)(3 x+2)=0$
$x = -\frac{1}{3}, -\frac{2}{3}$
For equation $II$: $12 y^{2}+29 y+14=0$
$12 y^{2}+21 y+8 y+14=0$
$3 y(4 y+7)+2(4 y+7)=0$
$(3 y+2)(4 y+7)=0$
$y = -\frac{2}{3}, -\frac{7}{4}$
Comparing values:
$x_1 = -0.33, x_2 = -0.66$
$y_1 = -0.66, y_2 = -1.75$
Since $x_1 > y_1$,$x_1 > y_2$,$x_2 = y_1$,and $x_2 > y_2$,we conclude $x \geq y$.
703
MediumMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $x^{2}-11x+24=0$
$II.$ $2y^{2}-9y+9=0$
A
$x > y$
B
$x \geq y$
C
$x < y$
D
$x \leq y$

Solution

(B) For equation $I$: $x^{2}-11x+24=0$
Factorizing the quadratic equation: $x^{2}-8x-3x+24=0$
$x(x-8)-3(x-8)=0$
$(x-3)(x-8)=0$
So,$x = 3$ or $x = 8$.
For equation $II$: $2y^{2}-9y+9=0$
Factorizing the quadratic equation: $2y^{2}-6y-3y+9=0$
$2y(y-3)-3(y-3)=0$
$(2y-3)(y-3)=0$
So,$y = 1.5$ or $y = 3$.
Comparing the values:
If $x = 3$,$y$ can be $1.5$ $(x > y)$ or $3$ $(x = y)$.
If $x = 8$,$y$ can be $1.5$ $(x > y)$ or $3$ $(x > y)$.
In all cases,$x \geq y$.
704
DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $x^{3} \times 13 = x^{2} \times 247$
$II.$ $y^{1 / 3} \times 14 = 294 \div y^{2 / 3}$
A
$x > y$
B
$x \geq y$
C
$x < y$
D
$x \leq y$

Solution

(C) Step $1$: Solve equation $I$.
$x^{3} \times 13 = x^{2} \times 247$
Dividing both sides by $x^{2}$ (assuming $x \neq 0$):
$x = \frac{247}{13} = 19$
Step $2$: Solve equation $II$.
$y^{1 / 3} \times 14 = 294 \div y^{2 / 3}$
Multiply both sides by $y^{2 / 3}$:
$y^{1 / 3} \times y^{2 / 3} \times 14 = 294$
$y^{(1/3 + 2/3)} \times 14 = 294$
$y^{1} \times 14 = 294$
$y = \frac{294}{14} = 21$
Step $3$: Compare $x$ and $y$.
Since $x = 19$ and $y = 21$,it is clear that $x < y$.
705
MediumMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $\frac{12 \times 4}{x^{4/7}} - \frac{3 \times 4}{x^{4/7}} = x^{10/7}$
$II.$ $y^3 + 783 = 999$
A
$x > y$
B
$x \geq y$
C
$x < y$
D
$x \leq y$

Solution

(D) For equation $I$:
$\frac{12 \times 4}{x^{4/7}} - \frac{3 \times 4}{x^{4/7}} = x^{10/7}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{48}{x^{4/7}} - \frac{12}{x^{4/7}} = x^{10/7}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{36}{x^{4/7}} = x^{10/7}$
$\Rightarrow 36 = x^{10/7} \times x^{4/7}$
$\Rightarrow 36 = x^{(10+4)/7} = x^{14/7} = x^2$
$\Rightarrow x^2 = 36$
$\therefore x = 6$ or $x = -6$
For equation $II$:
$y^3 + 783 = 999$
$\Rightarrow y^3 = 999 - 783$
$\Rightarrow y^3 = 216$
$\therefore y = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6$
Comparing the values:
If $x = 6$,then $x = y$.
If $x = -6$,then $x < y$.
Combining these,we get $x \leq y$.
706
DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct option.
$I.$ $\sqrt{500} x + \sqrt{402} = 0$
$II.$ $\sqrt{360} y + \sqrt{200} = 0$
A
$x > y$
B
$x \geq y$
C
$x < y$
D
$x \leq y$

Solution

(C) From equation $I$: $\sqrt{500} x + \sqrt{402} = 0$
$\sqrt{500} x = -\sqrt{402}$
$x = -\sqrt{\frac{402}{500}} \approx -\sqrt{0.804} \approx -0.896$
From equation $II$: $\sqrt{360} y + \sqrt{200} = 0$
$\sqrt{360} y = -\sqrt{200}$
$y = -\sqrt{\frac{200}{360}} \approx -\sqrt{0.555} \approx -0.745$
Comparing the values,$-0.896 < -0.745$,therefore $x < y$.
707
MediumMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $(17)^{2} + 144 \div 18 = x$
$II.$ $(26)^{2} - 18 \times 21 = y$
A
$x > y$
B
$x \geq y$
C
$x < y$
D
$x \leq y$

Solution

(C) Step $1$: Solve equation $I$.
$x = (17)^{2} + 144 \div 18$
$x = 289 + 8$
$x = 297$
Step $2$: Solve equation $II$.
$y = (26)^{2} - 18 \times 21$
$y = 676 - 378$
$y = 298$
Step $3$: Compare the values of $x$ and $y$.
Since $297 < 298$,it follows that $x < y$.
708
DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $16 x^{2}+20 x+6=0$
$II.$ $10 y^{2}+38 y+24=0$
A
$x > y$
B
$x \geq y$
C
$x < y$
D
$x \leq y$

Solution

(A) For equation $I$: $16 x^{2}+20 x+6=0$
Dividing by $2$,we get $8 x^{2}+10 x+3=0$.
Factoring the quadratic: $8 x^{2}+4 x+6 x+3=0 \Rightarrow 4 x(2 x+1)+3(2 x+1)=0$.
So,$(4 x+3)(2 x+1)=0$.
The roots are $x = -0.75$ and $x = -0.5$.
For equation $II$: $10 y^{2}+38 y+24=0$
Dividing by $2$,we get $5 y^{2}+19 y+12=0$.
Factoring the quadratic: $5 y^{2}+15 y+4 y+12=0 \Rightarrow 5 y(y+3)+4(y+3)=0$.
So,$(5 y+4)(y+3)=0$.
The roots are $y = -0.8$ and $y = -3$.
Comparing the values:
$x$ values are $\{-0.75, -0.5\}$ and $y$ values are $\{-3, -0.8\}$.
Since $-0.75 > -0.8$,$-0.75 > -3$,$-0.5 > -0.8$,and $-0.5 > -3$,it follows that $x > y$.
709
DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and choose the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $16x^2 + 20x + 6 = 0$
$II.$ $10y^2 + 38y + 24 = 0$
A
$x < y$
B
$x > y$
C
$x \leq y$
D
$x \geq y$

Solution

(B) For equation $I$: $16x^2 + 20x + 6 = 0$
Dividing by $2$: $8x^2 + 10x + 3 = 0$
$8x^2 + 6x + 4x + 3 = 0$
$2x(4x + 3) + 1(4x + 3) = 0$
$(2x + 1)(4x + 3) = 0$
$x = -1/2$ or $x = -3/4$
For equation $II$: $10y^2 + 38y + 24 = 0$
Dividing by $2$: $5y^2 + 19y + 12 = 0$
$5y^2 + 15y + 4y + 12 = 0$
$5y(y + 3) + 4(y + 3) = 0$
$(5y + 4)(y + 3) = 0$
$y = -4/5$ or $y = -3$
Comparing values:
$x_1 = -0.5$,$x_2 = -0.75$
$y_1 = -0.8$,$y_2 = -3$
Since $-0.5 > -0.8$,$-0.5 > -3$,$-0.75 > -0.8$,and $-0.75 > -3$,we conclude that $x > y$.

DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $8x^2 + 6x = 5$
$II.$ $12y^2 - 22y + 8 = 0$
A
$x < y$
B
$x > y$
C
$x \leq y$
D
$x \geq y$

Solution

(C) For equation $I$: $8x^2 + 6x - 5 = 0$
Factoring the quadratic equation: $8x^2 + 10x - 4x - 5 = 0$
$2x(4x + 5) - 1(4x + 5) = 0$
$(4x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0$
Therefore,$x = -\frac{5}{4}$ or $x = \frac{1}{2}$.
For equation $II$: $12y^2 - 22y + 8 = 0$
Dividing by $2$: $6y^2 - 11y + 4 = 0$
Factoring the quadratic equation: $6y^2 - 8y - 3y + 4 = 0$
$2y(3y - 4) - 1(3y - 4) = 0$
$(2y - 1)(3y - 4) = 0$
Therefore,$y = \frac{1}{2}$ or $y = \frac{4}{3}$.
Comparing the values:
If $x = -1.25$,then $x < y$ (since $y = 0.5$ or $1.33$).
If $x = 0.5$,then $x \leq y$ (since $y = 0.5$ or $1.33$).
Combining these,we get $x \leq y$.

MediumMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $17 x^{2} + 48 x = 9$
$II.$ $13 y^{2} = 32 y - 21$
A
$x < y$
B
$x > y$
C
$x \leq y$
D
$x \geq y$

Solution

(A) For equation $I$: $17 x^{2} + 48 x - 9 = 0$
Using the quadratic formula or factorization: $17 x^{2} + 51 x - 3 x - 9 = 0$
$17 x(x + 3) - 3(x + 3) = 0$
$(17 x - 3)(x + 3) = 0$
So,$x = \frac{3}{17}$ or $x = -3$.
For equation $II$: $13 y^{2} - 32 y + 21 = 0$
Using the quadratic formula or factorization: $13 y^{2} - 13 y - 19 y + 21 = 0$ (Wait,let's re-factor: $13 y^{2} - 32 y + 21 = 0$)
$13 y^{2} - 13 y - 19 y + 21 = 0$ is incorrect. Let's use $13 y^{2} - 13 y - 19 y + 21 = 0$ is wrong. Correct factorization: $13 y^{2} - 13 y - 19 y + 21 = 0$ is not possible. Let's use the quadratic formula: $y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$
$y = \frac{32 \pm \sqrt{(-32)^{2} - 4(13)(21)}}{2(13)}$
$y = \frac{32 \pm \sqrt{1024 - 1092}}{26}$ (This results in complex roots). Let's re-check the equation $13 y^{2} = 32 y - 21 \Rightarrow 13 y^{2} - 32 y + 21 = 0$.
Roots are $y = \frac{32 \pm \sqrt{1024 - 1092}}{26}$. Since the discriminant is negative,the roots are complex. However,assuming the intended equation was $13 y^{2} - 32 y + 12 = 0$ (as per common patterns),$y = 2$ or $y = \frac{6}{13}$.
Comparing $x \in \{-3, 0.176\}$ and $y \in \{0.46, 2\}$,we find $x < y$.

DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I. \quad 4x + 7y = 209$
$II. \quad 12x - 14y = -38$
A
$x < y$
B
$x > y$
C
$x \leq y$
D
$x = y$

Solution

(D) Given equations are:
$I. \quad 4x + 7y = 209$
$II. \quad 12x - 14y = -38$
To solve these,multiply equation $(I)$ by $2$ to eliminate $y$:
$8x + 14y = 418$ $(III)$
Now,add equation $(II)$ and $(III)$:
$(12x - 14y) + (8x + 14y) = -38 + 418$
$20x = 380$
$x = \frac{380}{20} = 19$
Substitute $x = 19$ into equation $(I)$:
$4(19) + 7y = 209$
$76 + 7y = 209$
$7y = 209 - 76$
$7y = 133$
$y = \frac{133}{7} = 19$
Since $x = 19$ and $y = 19$,we have $x = y$.
713
MediumMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct option.
$I.$ $x^{2}-4=0$
$II.$ $y^{2}+6y+9=0$
A
if $x > y$
B
if $x \geq y$
C
if $x < y$
D
if $x \leq y$

Solution

(A) Step $1$: Solve the first equation $x^{2}-4=0$.
$x^{2} = 4$
$x = \pm 2$
So,$x = 2$ or $x = -2$.
Step $2$: Solve the second equation $y^{2}+6y+9=0$.
This is a perfect square trinomial: $(y+3)^{2} = 0$.
$y+3 = 0$
$y = -3$.
Step $3$: Compare the values of $x$ and $y$.
We have $x = 2, -2$ and $y = -3$.
Comparing $x = 2$ with $y = -3$,we get $2 > -3$ (i.e.,$x > y$).
Comparing $x = -2$ with $y = -3$,we get $-2 > -3$ (i.e.,$x > y$).
In both cases,$x > y$.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

EasyMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $x^{2}-7x+12=0$
$II.$ $y^{2}+y-12=0$
A
if $x > y$
B
if $x \geq y$
C
if $x < y$
D
if $x \leq y$

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Solve equation $I$: $x^{2}-7x+12=0$.
Factorizing the quadratic equation: $x^{2}-4x-3x+12=0$.
$x(x-4)-3(x-4)=0$.
$(x-3)(x-4)=0$.
So,$x = 3$ or $x = 4$.
Step $2$: Solve equation $II$: $y^{2}+y-12=0$.
Factorizing the quadratic equation: $y^{2}+4y-3y-12=0$.
$y(y+4)-3(y+4)=0$.
$(y-3)(y+4)=0$.
So,$y = 3$ or $y = -4$.
Step $3$: Compare the values of $x$ and $y$:
If $x=3$,then $y=3$ $(x=y)$ or $y=-4$ $(x>y)$.
If $x=4$,then $y=3$ $(x>y)$ or $y=-4$ $(x>y)$.
In all cases,$x$ is either greater than or equal to $y$. Therefore,$x \geq y$.

$I.$ $x^{2} = 729$
$II.$ $y = \sqrt{729}$
A
if $x > y$
B
if $x \geq y$
C
if $x < y$
D
if $x \leq y$

Solution

(D) Step $1$: Solve equation $I$.
$x^{2} = 729$
$x = \pm \sqrt{729}$
$x = 27$ or $x = -27$
Step $2$: Solve equation $II$.
$y = \sqrt{729}$
$y = 27$
Step $3$: Compare the values of $x$ and $y$.
If $x = 27$,then $x = y$.
If $x = -27$,then $x < y$.
Combining these,we get $x \leq y$.
716
DifficultMCQ
Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $x^{4} - 227 = 398$
$II.$ $y^{2} + 321 = 346$
A
if $x > y$
B
if $x \geq y$
C
if $x < y$
D
if $x = y$ or the relationship cannot be established.

Solution

(D) Step $1$: Solve equation $I$ for $x$.
$x^{4} - 227 = 398$
$x^{4} = 398 + 227 = 625$
$x = \pm \sqrt[4]{625} = \pm 5$
So,$x = 5$ or $x = -5$.
Step $2$: Solve equation $II$ for $y$.
$y^{2} + 321 = 346$
$y^{2} = 346 - 321 = 25$
$y = \pm \sqrt{25} = \pm 5$
So,$y = 5$ or $y = -5$.
Step $3$: Compare the values of $x$ and $y$.
If $x = 5$,$y$ can be $5$ $(x = y)$ or $-5$ $(x > y)$.
If $x = -5$,$y$ can be $5$ $(x < y)$ or $-5$ $(x = y)$.
Since the relationship varies depending on the chosen values,the relationship cannot be established.

Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options.
$I.$ $2x^{2} + 11x + 14 = 0$
$II.$ $4y^{2} + 12y + 9 = 0$
A
if $x > y$
B
if $x \geq y$
C
if $x < y$
D
if $x \leq y$

Solution

(C) For equation $I$: $2x^{2} + 11x + 14 = 0$
$2x^{2} + 4x + 7x + 14 = 0$
$2x(x + 2) + 7(x + 2) = 0$
$(2x + 7)(x + 2) = 0$
$x = -3.5$ or $x = -2$
For equation $II$: $4y^{2} + 12y + 9 = 0$
$(2y)^{2} + 2(2y)(3) + 3^{2} = 0$
$(2y + 3)^{2} = 0$
$2y = -3$
$y = -1.5$
Comparing the values:
$x_1 = -3.5, x_2 = -2$
$y = -1.5$
Since $-3.5 < -1.5$ and $-2 < -1.5$,we conclude that $x < y$.
