Direction: In the following question two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answers: I: x2 + 13x + 42 = 0 II: y2 + 16y =

Direction: In the following question two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answers:

I: x² + 13x + 42 = 0

II: y² + 16y = - 63

A x > y

B x ≥ y

C x < y

D x ≤ y

E x = y or relation cannot be determined

Correct Answer: Option B

From equation I:

⇒ x² + 13x + 42 = 0

⇒ (x+6)(x+7) = 0

⇒ x = -6, -7

From equation II:

⇒ y² + 16y + 63 = 0

⇒ (y+9) (y+7) = 0

⇒ y = -9, -7

Comparing the value of x and y we get x ≥ y
