I. $(\sqrt {{x^2}\; + \;12} \; + \;\frac{7x}{{\sqrt {{x^2}\; + \;12} }} = 2\sqrt {{x^2}\; + \;12} )$ 

$(\Rightarrow \;\frac{{{x^2}\; + \;12\; + \;7x}}{{\sqrt {{x^2}\; + \;12} }} = 2\sqrt {{x^2}\; + \;12} )$

⇒ x2 + 12 + 7x = 2(x2 + 12)

⇒ x2 – 7x + 12 = 0

⇒ x2 – 4x  - 3x + 12 = 0

⇒ x(x – 4) - 3(x – 4) = 0

⇒ (x – 4)(x - 3) = 0

∴ x = 4 or x = 3

II. 2y2 – 17y + 36 = 0

⇒ 2y2 – 9y – 8y + 36 = 0

⇒ y(2y – 9) – 4(2y – 9) = 0

⇒ (2y – 9)(y – 4) = 0

∴ y = 9/2 or y = 4

When x = 4, x < y for y = 9/2 and x = y for y = 4

And when x = 3, x < y for y = 9/2 and x = y for y = 4

∴ x ≤ y
