Question

Q69.

I. 2x² + 19x + 42 = 0

II. 2y² + 7y + 5 = 0

  1. A. If x=y or no relation can be established
  2. B. If xy
  3. C. If x<y (Correct answer)
  4. D. If x≥y
  5. E. If x≤y

Correct Answer

Option C — If x<y

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is If x<y.

Key Points

  • I: x = (–19±5)/4 → x = –3.5 or –6. II: (2y+5)(y+1) = 0 → y = –2.5 or –1. All x values (–6, –3.5) < all y values (–2.5, –1) → x < y.
