EXPLANATIONS:
1. I. x3 – 4913 = 0
or, x3 = 4913
x = 17

II. y2 = 361
or, y = ± 19

While comparing the values of x and y, one root value of y lies between the root values of x
Hence, option E is correct.

2. I. x2 = 361
x = ± 19

II. y3 = 7269 + 731

y3 = 8000
y = 20

x<y
Hence, option A is correct.

3. I. 15x2 + x – 6 = 0
15x2 + 10x – 9x – 6 = 0
5x (3x + 2) – 3 (3x + 2) = 0
(5x – 3) (3x + 2) = 0
3 2
x= ,–
5 3

II. 5y2 – 23y + 12 = 0

5y2 – 20y – 3y + 12 = 0
5y (y – 4) – 3 (y – 4) = 0
(y – 4) (5y – 3) = 0
3
y = 4,
5

x≤y
Hence, option B is correct.
4. I. x3 – 2744 = 0
x3 = 2744
x = 14

II. y2 – 256 = 0
y2 = 256
y = ± 16

While comparing the values of x and y, one root value of x lies between the root values of y.

Hence, option E is correct.

5. I. x2 – 8x – 20 = 0
⇒ x2 – 10x + 2x – 20 = 0
⇒ x (x – 10) + 2 (x – 10) = 0
⇒ (x – 10) (x + 2) = 0
Then, x = + 10 or x = – 2

II. 3y2 – 60y + 297 = 0

⇒ y2 – 20y + 99 = 0 [Dividing both sides by 3]
⇒ y2 – 11y – 9y + 99 = 0
⇒ y (y – 11) – 9 (y – 11) = 0
⇒ (y – 11) (y – 9) = 0
Then, y = + 11 or y = + 9

So, when x = + 10, x < y for y = + 11 and x > y for y = + 9

And when x = – 2, x < y for y = + 11 and x < y for y = + 9

∴ So, we can observe that one root value of x lies between the root values of y. Therefore, the
relation between x and y can't be determined.

Hence, option (E) is correct.

6. I. 2x2 + 9x + 7 = 0
or, 2x2 + 2x + 7x + 7 = 0
or, 2x(x + 1) + 7 (x + 1) = 0
or, (2x + 7) (x + 1) = 0
7
∴ x = – 1, –
2

II. y2 + 4y + 4 = 0
or, y2 + 2y + 2y + 4 = 0
or, y (y + 2) + 2 (y + 2) = 0
or, (y + 2)(y + 2) = 0
∴ y = – 2, –2

Hence, relationship can't be established between x and y.

Therefore, Option E is correct.

7. I. x2 – 7x + 12 = 0
or, x2 – 4x – 3x + 12 = 0
or, x (x – 4) – 3 (x – 4) = 0
or, x (x – 4) – 3 (x – 4) = 0
or, (x – 4) (x – 3) = 0
∴ x = 3, 4

II. 3y2 – 11y + 10 = 0

or, 3y2 – 6y – 5y + 10 = 0
or, 3y(y – 2) – 5(y – 2) = 0
or, (3y – 5)(y – 2) = 0
5
∴ y = 2,
3

Hence, x > y

Hence, option A is correct.

8. I. 2x2 + 15x + 28 = 0
or, 2x2 + 8x + 7x + 28 = 0
or, 2x (x + 4) + 7 (x + 4) = 0
or, (2x + 7) (x + 4) = 0
7
∴ x = – 4, –
2

II. 2y2 + 13y + 21 = 0

or, 2y2 + 6y + 7y + 21 = 0
or, 2y (y + 3) + 7 (y + 3) = 0
or, (2y + 7) (y + 3) = 0
7
∴ y = –3, –
2
Hence, x ≤ y.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

9. I. x2 – 8x + 15 = 0
or, x2 – 5x – 3x + 15 = 0
or, x (x – 5) – 3 (x – 5) = 0
or, (x – 5) (x – 3) = 0
∴ x = 5, 3

II. y2 – 12y + 36 = 0
or, y2 – 6y – 6y + 36 = 0
or, y(y – 6) – 6 (y – 6) = 0
or, (y – 6) (y – 6) = 0
∴ y = 6, 6

Hence, x < y.
Hence, option C is correct.

10. I. x2 + 9x + 20 = 0
or, x2 + 4x + 5x + 20 = 0
or, x (x + 4) + 5 (x + 4) = 0
or, (x + 4) (x + 5) = 0
x = – 4, – 5

II. y2 = 16
y=√ =±4

While comparing the x and y values, we got one value of x is equal to y and other values is less than the
root values of y.
Hence, x ≤ y.
Hence, option D is correct.
11. I. x2 + (343)1/3 = 56
x2 + 7 = 56
x2 = 49
∴ x = √49 = ±7

II. (y)4/3 × (y)5/3 – 295 = 217

(y)3 = 217 + 295
(y)3 = 512 = (8)3
or, y = 8

Here, x < y

Hence, option D is correct.

12. 5x + 4y = 8 .......(i) × 3
3x + 2y = 4 .......(ii) × 5

15x + 12y = 24 .......(iii)

15x + 10y = 20 .......(iv)
– – –
2y = 4
y=2

Putting the value of y in (i), we get

5x + 8 = 8

5x = 0

∴x=0

Here, x < y

Hence, option D is correct.

13. I. x2 + 8 = 6x
x2 – 6x + 8 = 0
x2 – 4x – 2x + 8 = 0
x(x – 4) – 2(x – 4) = 0
(x – 2) (x – 4) = 0
∴ x = 2, 4

II. y2 – 8y + 15 = 0
y2 – 5y – 3y + 15 = 0
y (y – 5) – 3 (y – 5) = 0
(y – 3) (y – 5 ) = 0
y = 3, 5

Here, while comparing the root values of x and y, we find that one root value of y lies between the
value of x. Therefore, no relationship between x and y can be established

Hence, option E is correct.

14. I. √ +√ =√

7+ √ = 13

(√ )2 = (6)2

x + 15 = 36

∴ x = 36 – 15 = 21

II. y2 – 212 = 364

y2 = 364 + 212

y2 = 576

y = ± 24

Here, relationship between x and y cannot be established

Hence, option E is correct.

15.
2(10)5/2
I. x – =0
√x

x2+1/2 – (10)5/2 = 0

(x)5/2 = (10)5/2

x = 10

18 7
II. – √y =
√y √y

18 – y = 7

y = 11

Here, x < y

Hence, option D is correct.

16. I. 2x2 + 7x + 5 = 0
⇒ 2x2 + 2x + 5x + 5 = 0
⇒ 2x (x + 1) + 5 (x + 1) = 0
⇒ (2x + 5) (x + 1) = 0
x = – 2.5, – 1

II. 3y2 + 5y + 2 = 0
⇒ 3y2 + 3y + 2y + 2 = 0
⇒ 3y (y + 1) + 2 (y + 1) = 0
⇒ (3y + 2) (y + 1) = 0
y = – 0.66, – 1

For x = – 2.5 and y = – 0.66, – 1 x<y

For x = – 1 and y = – 0.66, – 1 x ≤ y

Hence x is either less than or equal to y.

Hence, option B is correct.

17. I. x2 + 6x – 112 = 0
x2 + 14x – 8x – 112 = 0
x (x + 14) – 8(x + 14) = 0
(x + 14)(x – 8) = 0
x = 8, – 14

II. y2 + 22y + 112 = 0

y2 + 8y + 14y + 112 = 0
y(y + 8) + 14(y + 8) = 0
(y + 8)(y + 14) = 0
y = – 8, – 14

For, x = – 14 and y = – 8
x<y

For, x = – 14 and y = – 14
x=y

But for x = 8 and y = – 8 and – 14

x>y

Therefore, relationship can’t be established

Hence, option E is correct.

⇒ 2x2 – 4x – 9x + 18 = 0
⇒ 2x (x – 2) – 9 (x – 2) = 0
⇒ (2x – 9) (x – 2) = 0
x = 4.5, 2

⇒ y2 – 4y – 3y + 12 = 0
⇒ y (y – 4) – 3 (y – 4) = 0
⇒ (y – 3) (y – 4) = 0
y = 4, 3
For x = 4.5 and y = 4 ,3 x > y

For x = 2 and y = 4, 3 x<y

Hence, no relationship can be established

Hence, option E is correct.

19. I. x2 + 6x + 9 = 0
⇒ x2 + 3x + 3x + 9 = 0
⇒ x (x + 3) + 3 (x + 3) = 0
⇒ (x + 3) (x + 3) = 0
x = – 3, – 3

II. y2 – y – 20 = 0
⇒ y2 – 5y + 4y – 20 = 0
⇒ y (y – 5) + 4 (y – 5) = 0
⇒ (y + 4) (y – 5) = 0
y = – 4, 5

For x = – 3 and y = – 4, x>y

For x = – 3 and y = 5, x<y

Hence, no relationship can be established

Hence, option E is correct.

⇒ 3x2 – 6x – 4x + 8 = 0
⇒ 3x (x – 2) – 4 (x – 2) = 0
⇒ (3x – 4) (x – 2) = 0
x = 4/3, 2

II. 2y2 – 19y + 35 = 0

⇒ 2y2 – 14y – 5y + 35 = 0
