IBPS PO 2021 · Question 8 of 28

Directions (6 - 10): In each of these questions two equations are given. Solve these equations and give Answer among the following options: 1. x y; 3. Either x = y or relations between x and y can’t be established; 4. x ≤ y; 5. x ≥ y. 8. 1. (x3 + 4x2 - 9x - 36)/(x - 3) = 0; 2. (y3 - 3y2 - 16y + 48)/(y - 4) = 0

Quadratic Equations

  1. Ax < y
  2. Bx > y
  3. CEither x = y or relations between x and y can’t be established
  4. Dx ≤ yCorrect
  5. Ex ≥ y

Answer: D. x ≤ y

Explanation

After dividing, we get x2 + 7x - 12 = 0; x = -4, -3. y2 + y - 12 = 0; y = -4, 3. No relationship can be established. (Note: the source's stated answer label d) conflicts with the explanation text 'No relationship can be established', which corresponds to option 3 of the printed direction key; both recorded verbatim as printed.)
