Give answer:
(1) If x>y (2) If x≥y (3) If x<y (4) If x≤y (5) If x=y or the relationship cannot be established
Q6. I. x^2+x-20=0 II. y^2-y-30=0
Q7. I. 225x^2-4=0 II. √225 y+2=0
Q8. I. 4/√x+7/√x=√x II. y^2-(11)^2/√y=0
Q9. I. x^2-10x+24=0 II. y^2-9y+20=0
Q10. I. (x)^2=961 II. y=√961
Answer & Explanation1.(3); Required number of sweets=((112-32)×6)/32=(80×6)/32=15
2.(3); Breadth of carpet=3 m
∴ Length of carpet=3×1.44=4.32
∴ Area of carpet=3×4.32=12.96 m^2
New length=4.32×140/100=6.048 m
New breadth=3×125/100=3.75 cm
New area=6.048×3.75=22.68 m^2
Increased area=22.68-12.96=9.72 m^2
∴ Required increased cost=9.72×45=Rs.437.40/-
3.(5); Water in 60 gm mixture=60×75/100=45 gm
Again, water in (60+15) gm mixture=45+15=60 gm
∴ Required percentage=60/75×100=80%
4.(1); Required compound interest=20000[(1+15/100)^4-1]=Rs.14,980.125/-
5.(4); Actual average weight=(53×58-65+45)/53=57.62 kg
6.(5);
I. x^2+x-20=0
(x+5)(x-4)=0⇒x=-5,4
II. y^2-y-30=0
(y-6)(y+5)=0⇒y=6,-5
∴ No relation
7.(2);
I. 225x^2-4=0
x^2=4/225⇒x=±2/15
II. √225 y+2=0
15y+2=0⇒y=(-2)/15
8.(5);
I. 4/√x+7/√x=√x
4+7=x⇒x=11
II. y^2-(11)^(5/2)/√y=0
y^(5/2)-(11)^(5/2)=0
y=11
∴x=y
9.(5);
I. x^2-10x+24=0
(x-4)(x-6)=0
x=4 or x=6
II. y^2-9y+20=0
(y-4)(y-5)=0
y=4 or y=5
No Relation
10.(5);
I. x^2=961
x=√961
x=±31
II. y=√961
y=±31
So, x=y
