(a) if x > y

(b) if x < y

(c)if x ≥ y

(d) if x ≤ y

(e) if x = y, or no relation can be established between x and y.

1. I. 2x2+x – 1 = 0

II. 6y2 – 13y + 5 = 0

(a) if x > y

(d) I. 2x2 + 2x – x – 1 = 0

or, 2x(x + 1) – 1(x + 1) = 0

or, (x + 1) (2x – 1) = 0

x=-1,1/2

II. 6y2 – 3y – 10y + 5 = 0

or, 3y(2y – 1) – 5(2y – 1) = 0

or, (3y – 5)(2y – 1) = 0

y=-3,11/3

2. I. 21x2 – 122x + 165 = 0

II. 3y2 – 2y – 33 = 0

(a) if x > y

(b) if x < y

(c)if x ≥ y

(d) if x ≤ y

(e) if x = y, or no relation can be established between x and y.

(e) I. 21x2 – 45x – 77x + 165 = 0

or, 3x(7x – 15) – 11 (7x – 15) = 0

or, (3x – 11) (7x – 15) = 0

x=11/3,15/7

II. 3y2 + 9y – 11y – 33 = 0

or, (y + 3) – 11(y + 3) = 0

or, (3y – 11) (y + 3) = 0

y=-3,11/3

Hence, no relation can be established between x and y.

x=4,9/5

II. 10y2 + 15y – 18y – 27 = 0

or, 5y(2y + 3) – 9(2y + 3) = 0

or, (2y + 3) (5y – 9) = 0

y=9/5,-3/2

4. I. 7x + 4y = 3

II. 5x + 3y = 3

(a) if x > y

(b) if x < y

(c)if x ≥ y

(b) eqn (I) × 3 – eqn (II) × 4

21x + 12y = 9

20x + 12y = 12

Solving 2 equations we get

x = – 3

and y = 6

x < y

(a) I. 7x2 – 21x – 33x + 99 = 0

or, 7x(x – 3) – 33(x – 3) = 0

or, (x – 3) (7x – 33) = 0

x=3,33/7

II. 4y2 – 6y – 10y + 15 = 0

or, 2y(2y – 3) – 5(2y – 3) = 0

or, (2y – 3)(2y – 5) = 0

y=3/2,5/2
