Explanations:

1. I. 8x2 – 23x + 15 = 0
8x2 – 8x – 15x + 15 = 0
8x (x – 1) – 15 (x – 1) = 0
(8x – 15) (x – 1) = 0
15
x= ,1
8

II. 3y2 + 11y + 8 = 0

3y2 + 3y + 8y + 8 = 0
3y (y + 1) + 8 (y + 1) = 0
(3y + 8) (y + 1) = 0
8
y=– ,–1
3

Hence, x > y

Hence, option A is correct.

2. I. 2x2 – 19x + 42 = 0
2x2 – 12x – 7x + 42 = 0
2x (x – 6) – 7 (x – 6) = 0
(2x – 7) (x – 6) = 0
7
x= ,6
2

II. 20y2 – 89y + 99 = 0

20y2 – 45y – 44y + 99 = 0
5y (4y – 9) – 11 (4y – 9) = 0
(5y – 11) (4y – 9) = 0
11
y = , 2.25
5

Hence, x > y

Hence, option A is correct.

3. I. (144)1/2 x + √7396 = 194
12x + 86 = 194
194 – 86 108
x= = =9
12 12

II. (729)1/2 y2 – 545 = √16900

27y2 – 545 = √16900
130 + 545 675
y2 = = = 25
27 27

y=±5
Hence, x > y
Hence, option A is correct.

4. I. 2x2 – 23x + 56 = 0
2x2 – 16x – 7x + 56 = 0
2x (x – 8) – 7 (x – 8) = 0
(2x – 7) (x – 8) = 0
7
x= ,8
2

II. 4y2 – 19y + 12 = 0

4y2 – 16y – 3y + 12 = 0
4y (y – 4) – 3 (y – 4) = 0
(4y – 3) (y – 4) = 0
3
y= ,4
4
Hence, no relationship can be established.
Hence, option E is correct.

5. I. 5x + 9y = 109 .........(i)
II. 3x + 4y = 62 ...........(ii)
Eqn. (i) × 3 – (ii) × 5, we get

15x + 27y = 327

15x + 20y = 310
– – –
7y = 17

17 3
y= =2
7 7
Putting the value of y in eqn. (i) or (ii), we get
122 3
x= = 17
7 7
Hence, x > y
Hence, option A is correct.
6. I. x2 – 29x + 210 = 0
 ⇒ x2 – 14x – 15x + 210 = 0
⇒ x (x – 14) – 15 (x – 14) = 0
⇒ (x – 14) (x – 15) = 0
x = 14, 15

II. y2 = 196
⇒ y = ± 14

Hence, x ≥ y
Hence, option C is correct.

7. I. 6x2 – 23x + 17 = 0
⇒ 6x2 – 6x – 17x + 17 = 0
⇒ 6x (x – 1) – 17 (x – 1) = 0
⇒ (6x – 17) (x – 1) = 0
17
x= ,1
6

II. 3y2 – 19y + 30 = 0

⇒ 3y2 – 9y – 10y + 30 = 0
⇒ 3y (y – 3) – 10 (y – 3) = 0
⇒ (3y – 10) (y – 3) = 0
10
y= ,3
3

While comparing the root values of x and y, we find that both root values of x are less than y's.
Therefore, x < y.

Hence, option D is correct.

8. I. x2 – 10x + 21 = 0
⇒ x2 – 7x – 3x + 21 = 0
⇒ x (x – 7) – 3 (x – 7) = 0
⇒ (x – 3) (x – 7) = 0
x = 3, 7

II. y2 – 8y + 15 = 0
⇒ y2 – 5y – 3y + 15 = 0
⇒ y (y – 5) – 3 (y – 5) = 0
⇒ (y – 5) (y – 3) = 0
⇒ y = 3, 5

While comparing the root values of x and y, we find the one root value of y lies between the root
values of x. Hence relation between x and y can't be established.
Hence, option E is correct.
9. I. x2 + 13x + 40 = 0
⇒ x2 + 8x + 5x + 40 = 0
 ⇒ x (x + 8) + 5 (x + 8) = 0
⇒ (x + 8) (x + 5) = 0
x = – 8, – 5

II. 3y2 + 23y + 30 = 0

⇒ 3y2 + 18y + 5y + 30 = 0
⇒ 3y (y + 6) + 5 (y + 6) = 0
⇒ (3y + 5) (y + 6) = 0

5
y=– ,–6
3

While comparing the root values of x and y, we find that one root value of y lies between the root
values of x. Therefore, the relation between x and y.

Hence, option E is correct.

10. I. 3x2 + 7x + 4 = 0
⇒ 3x2 + 3x + 4x + 4 = 0
⇒ 3x (x + 1) + 4 (x + 1) = 0
⇒ (3x + 4) (x + 1) = 0
4
x=– ,–1
3

II. 4y2 + 16y + 12 = 0

or, y2 + 4y + 3 = 0
⇒ y2 + 3y + y + 3 = 0
⇒ y (y + 3) + 1 (y + 3) = 0
⇒ (y + 3) (y + 1) = 0
⇒ y = – 3, – 1

While comparing the root values of x and y, we find that one root value of x is lies between the values
of y. Therefore, the relation between x and y can't be established.

Hence, option E is correct.
