    In the following question, one or two equation(s) is/are given. On their basis you have to determine the relation between x and y and then give answer I. 2x2+ 5x + 2 = 0 II. 4y2= 1

    ক)
    x < y
    খ)
    x > y
    গ)
    x ≤  y
    ঘ)
    x ≥ y
    ঙ)
    x = y

    Explanation

    We will separately solve both equations. Equation 1: 2x 2 + 5x + 2 = 0 ⇒ 2x 2 + 4x + x + 2 = 0 ⇒ 2x (x + 2) + 1 (x + 2) = 0 ⇒ (x + 2) × (2x + 1) = 0 ⇒ x = -2 or, x = -½ Equation 2: 4y 2 = 1 ⇒ 4y 2 – 1 = 0 ⇒ (2y) 2 – 1 =0 ⇒ (2y – 1) × (2y + 1) = 0 ⇒ y = ½ or, y = -½ x & y both have one common value. That is -½. So we can say x = y Another value of y (y = ½) is greater than another value of x (x = -2) So we can say y > x Combining both y ≥ x
