Direction: 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.

  1. Ⅰ. x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
    Ⅱ. y2 - 12y + 32 = 0
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
    5. 5
Correct Option: D

As per the given above equations , we have
From equation Ⅰ. x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
⇒ x( x - 4) - 3( x - 4) = 0
⇒ ( x - 4) ( x - 3) = 0
⇒ x = 4 or, 3
Ⅱ. y2 - 12y + 32 = 0
⇒ y2 - 8y - 4y + 32 = 0
⇒ y( y - 8) - 4( y - 8) = 0
⇒ ( y - 8) ( y - 4) = 0
⇒ y = 4 or, 8
Thus , x ≤ y is required answer .
