Directions (Q. Nos. 16 to 20) In the following questions, two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and 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
Ans :
16. I. x2 - 11x + 24 = 0
II. 2y2 - 9y + 9 = 0
Ans : 2 I. x2 - 11x + 24 = 0
x2 - 8x - 3x + 24 = 0
x (x - 8) - 3 (x - 8) = 0
(x - 8)(x - 3) = 0
∴ x = 8 or 3
II. 2y2 - 9y + 9 = 0
2y2 - 6y - 3y + 9 = 0
2y(y - 3) - 3 (y - 3) = 0
(2y - 3) (y - 3) = 0
∴ y = 3/2 or 3
So, x ≥ y
17. I. x3 * 13 = x2 * 247
II. y1/3 * 14 = 294 ÷ y2/3
Ans : 3 I. x3 * 13 = x2 * 247
or x3 / x2 = 247/13
x = 19
II. y1/3 * 14 = 294 ÷ y2/3
or, (y)1/3 * (y)2/3 = 294/14
or, (y)1/3+2/3 = 21
∴ y = 21
So, y > x
18. I. 12 * 4 / x4/7 - 3 * 4 / x4/7 = x10/7
II. y3 + 783 = 999
Ans : 4 I. 12 * 4 / x4/7 - 3 * 4 / x4/7 = x10/7
or, 48 - 12 = (x)10/7 * (x)4/7
or, 36 = (x)7 = (x)2
∴ x = ±6
II. y3 + 783 = 999
y3 = 999 - 783
y3 = 216
