Direction: In the given question, two equations numbered l and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and mark the appropriate answer.
I. x2 – 0.15x – 0.07 = 0
II. y2 – 0.75y + 0.14 = 0
I. x2 – 0.15x – 0.07 = 0
⇒ x2 + 0.2x – 0.35x – 0.07 = 0
⇒ x(x + 0.2) – 0.35(x + 0.2) = 0
⇒ (x + 0.2) (x – 0.35) = 0
Thus, x = – 0.2, 0.35
II. y2 – 0.75y + 0.14 = 0
⇒ y2 – 0.4y – 0.35y + 0.14 = 0
⇒ y(y – 0.4) – 0.35(y – 0.4) = 0
⇒ (y – 0.35) (y – 0.4) = 0
Thus, y = 0.35 or 0.4
So, when x = – 0.2, for y = 0.35, then x < y and when x = – 0.2, for y = 0.4, then x < y
And when x = 0.35, for y = 0.35, then x = y and when x = 0.35, for y = 0.4, then x < y
∴ We can observe that x ≤ y
