E) x = y or relation cannot be established
Answer & Explanation Option E
Solution:
32 + 11x + 6 = 0
32 + 9x + 2x + 6 = 0
So x = -3, -2/3
5y2 + 16y + 3 = 0
5y2 + 15y + y + 3 = 0
So y = -1/5, -3
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
-3 …. -2/3 ….-1/5
Since the common value (-3) is not in between other 2 values, there is no relationship between x and y.

3/4 …. 4/3….. 2…. 7/2
5. I. 3x2 – 25x + 52 = 0,
II. 3y2 – 8y – 16 = 0
A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relation cannot be established
Answer & Explanation Option C
Solution:
3x2 – 25x + 52 = 0
3x2 – 12x – 13x + 52 = 0
So x = 4, 13/3
3y2 – 8y – 16 = 0
3y2 – 12y + 4y – 16 = 0
So y = 4, -4/3
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
-4/3 …. 4…. 13/3
6. I. 8x2 + 10x + 3 = 0,
II. 3y2 + 70y + 40 = 0
A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relation cannot be established
Answer & Explanation Option A
Solution:
8x2 + 10x + 3 = 0
8x2 + 4x + 6x + 3 = 0
So x = -3/4, -1/2
3y2 + 70y + 40 = 0
3y2 + 30y + 40y + 40 = 0
So y = -10, -4/3
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
-10 … -4/3 …. -3/4 …. -1/2
7. I. 50x2 ¬¬– 95x + 42 = 0,
II. 50y2 – 65y + 21 = 0
A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
Answer & Explanation Option C
Solution:
50x2 ¬¬– 95x + 42 = 0
50x2 ¬¬– 60x – 35x + 42 = 0
So x = 7/10, 6/5
50y2 – 65y + 21 = 0
50y2 – 65y + 21 = 0
So y = 3/5, 7/10
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
3/5…. 7/10…. 6/5
8. I. 5x2 – 13x + 6 = 0,

B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relation cannot be established
Answer & Explanation Option E
Solution:
3x2 – 4x – 15 = 0
3x2 – 9x + 5x – 15 = 0
So x = -5/3, 3
5y2 – 11y – 18 = 0
5y2 – 15y + 6y – 18 = 0
So y = -6/5, 3
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
-5/3….. -6/5…. 3
Since the common value (3) is not in between other 2 values, there is no relationship between x and y.
10. I. 2x2 + 5x – 12 = 0,
II. 2y2 – 19y + 35 = 0
A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
Answer & Explanation Option B
Solution:
2x2 + 5x ¬– 12 = 0
2x2 + 8x ¬– 3x – 12 = 0
