general math MCQ #797

  1. Question 1

    Q1. I. x² + 5x + 6 = 0, II. y² + 9y +14 = 0 to solve both the equations to find the values of x and y?

    • A) If x < y
    • B) If x > y
    • C) If x ≤ y
    • D) If x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established.

    Answer: If x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established.

    Explanation: Equation I gives x = −2 or −3; Equation II gives y = −2 or −7; since x can be greater than, equal to, or less than y depending on which roots are chosen, the relationship cannot be established.
