    DIRECTIONS for question 5 to 7: In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer
    if x > y if x < y if x ≥ y if x y if x = y or relation cannot be established between 'x' and 'y'.
  5. I. x2 – 11x + 30 = 0
    II. 2y2 - 15y + 10 = 0

    Answer: Option E.
    Solving equations; x = 6,5 and y = complex roots
    Therefore, relationship can’t be established.
  6. I. 15x2 + 8x + 1 = 0
    II. 3y2 + 14y + 8 = 0

    Answer: Option A.
    Solving equations; x = -1/3, -1/5 and y = -4, -2/3
    Therefore, x>y
  7. I. 4x2 – 17x + 18 = 0
    II. 2y2 – 21y + 40 = 0

    Answer: Option B.
    Solving equations; x = 2, 2.25 and y = 8, 2.5
    Therefore, x < y
