Ⅰ. 12 - 23= 5√x√x√xⅡ. √y

Home » Aptitude » Quadratic Equation » Question

Direction: In the following questions, two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both questions 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.

Ⅰ. 12 - 23 = 5√x
√x √x

Ⅱ. √y - 5 √y = 1
12 12 √y

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4
5. 5

Correct Option: A

From the given above equations , we have

Ⅰ.	12	-	23	= 5√x
	√x		√x

⇒ 12 - 23 = 5√x × √x

∴ x =	- 11	= - 2.2
	5

Ⅰ.	√y	-	5 √y	=	1
	12		12		√y

⇒ √y		1	-	5		=	1
		12		12			√y

⇒ y		- 4		= 1
		12

⇒ y =	- 12	= - 3
	4

∴ x > y
From above it is clear that required answer is x > y .
