(c) I. 2x2 – 21x + 54 = 0

or 2x2 – 12x – 9x + 54 = 0

or 2x (x – 6) – 9 (x – 6) = 0

or (x – 6) (2x – 9) = 0 9

∴x=6, 9/2

II. y2 – 14y + 49 = 0

or (y – 7)2 = 0

or y – 7 = 0 y = 7 Hence x < y

2)I. x2 – 19x + 70 = 0

II. 2y2 – 17y + 35 = 0

(a) if x > y

(b) if x ≥ y

(c) if x < y

(d) if x ≤ y

(e) if x = y or If there is no relation between ‘x’ and ‘y’. .

(b)

x2 – 19x + 70 = 0 or x2 – 5x – 14x + 70 = 0

or x (x – 5) – 14 (x – 5) = 0

or (x – 5) (x – 14) = 0

x = 5, 14

2y2 – 10y – 7y + 35 = 0

or 2y (y – 5) – 7 (y – 5) = 0

or (y – 5) (2y – 7) = 0

y = 5,7/2
Hence x  y

3) I. 3x2 + 5x – 8 = 0

II) y2 – 4y + 3=0

(a) if x > y

(b) if x ≥ y

(c) if x < y

(d)

3x2 + 5x – 8 = 0

or 3x2 – 3x + 8x – 8 = 0

or 3x (x – 1) + 8 (x – 1) = 0

or (x – 1) (3x + 8) = 0

x = 1,-8/3

II. y2 – 4y + 3 = 0

or y2 – y – 3y + 3 = 0

or y (y – 1) – 3 (y – 1) = 0

or (y – l) (y – 3) = 0

y = 1, 3 Hence, x  y

4. I. 12x2 – 16x + 5 = 0

II) 18y2 – 45y + 25 = 0

(a) if x > y

(b) if x ≥ y

(c) if x < y

(d) if x ≤ y

(e) if x = y or If there is no relation between ‘x’ and ‘y’. .

(d)

12x2 – 16x + 5 = 0

or 12x2 – 6x – 10x + 5 = 0

or 6x(2x – 1) – 5(2x – 1) = 0

or (6x – 5) (2x – 1) = 0

x = ½ , 5/6

II. 18y2 – 45y + 25 = 0

or 18y2 – 30y – 15y + 25 = 0

or 6y (3y – 5) – 5 (3y – 5) = 0

or (3y – 5) (6y – 5) = 0

x = 5/3 , 5/6

5. I. 3x2 + 11x + 8 = 0

II) 3y2 + 20y + 32 = 0

(a) if x > y

(b) if x ≥ y

(c) if x < y

(d) if x ≤ y

(e) if x = y or If there is no relation between ‘x’ and ‘y’. .

(b)

3x2 + 11x + 8 = 0

or 3x2 + 3x + 8x + 8 = 0

or 3x(x+ 1) + 8(x + 1) = 0

or (x + 1) (3x + 8) = 0

∴x= -1,-8/3

II. 3y2 + 20y + 32 = 0

or 3y2 + 12y + 8y + 32 = 0

or 3y (y + 4) + 8 (y + 4) = 0

or (3y + 8) (y + 4) = 0

y = -4,-8/3

Hence, x ≥ y
