Directions (6-10): In each of the following questions two equations are given. You have to solve the equations and
Give answer –

Q6. I. 8x² + 26x + 15 = 0
II. 4y² + 24y + 35 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 8x² + 26x + 15 = 0
⇒ 8x² + 20x + 6x + 15 = 0
⇒ 4x (2x + 5) + 3(2x + 5) = 0
⇒ (2x + 5) (4x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = – 5/2, –3/4
II. 4y² + 24y + 35 = 0
⇒ 4y² + 10y + 14y + 35 = 0
⇒ 2y (2y + 5) + 7 (2y + 5) = 0
⇒ (2y + 5) (2y + 7) = 0
⇒ y = –5/2, –7/2
x ≥ y

Q7. I. 2x² + 9x + 9 = 0
II. 2y² + 17y + 36 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 2x² + 9x + 9 = 0
⇒ 2x² + 6x + 3x + 9 = 0
⇒ (x + 3) (2x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = –3, –3/2
II. 2y² + 17y + 36 = 0
⇒ 2y² + 8y + 9y + 36 = 0
⇒ (y + 4) (2y + 9) = 0
y = – 4, –9/2
x > y

Q8. I. 5x² + 29x + 20 = 0
II. 25y² + 25y + 6 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 5x² + 29 + 20 = 0
⇒ 5x² + 25x + 4x + 20 = 0
⇒ (x + 5) (5x + 4) = 0
⇒ x = –5, –4/5
II. 25y² + 25y + 6 = 0
⇒ 25y² + 15y + 10y + 6 = 0
⇒ (5y + 3) (5y + 2) = 0
⇒ y = – 3/5, –2/5
y > x

Q9. I. 3x² – 16x + 21 = 0
II. 3y² – 28y + 65 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 3x² – 16x + 21 = 0
⇒ 3x² – 9x – 7x + 21 = 0
⇒ (x – 3) (3x – 7) = 0
⇒ x = 3, 7/3
II. 3y² – 28y + 65 = 0
⇒ 3y² – 15y – 13y + 65 = 0
⇒ (y – 5) (3y – 13) = 0
⇒ y = 5, 13/3
y > x

Q10. I. 8x²-26x+15=0
II. 2y²-17y+30=0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y
