    Directions: In each of the following questions two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and find out values of x and y and give answer.
    I. \[6{{x}^{2}}+25x+24=0\]
    II. \[12{{y}^{2}}+13y+3=0\]

    A) If \[x>y\]          

    B) If \[x\le y\]

    C) If \[x<y\]

    D) If relationship between x and y cannot be determined

    E) If \[x\ge y\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    I. \[6{{x}^{2}}+25x+24=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[6{{x}^{2}}+16x+9x+24=0\]
    [by splitting the middle term]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[2x\,(3x+8)+3\,(3x+8)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[(2x+3)(3x+8)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{-\,3}{2}\]and \[x=\frac{-\,8}{3}\]
    II. \[12{{y}^{2}}+13y+3=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[12{{y}^{2}}+9y+4y+3=0\]
    [by splitting the middle term]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[3y\,(4y+3)+1\,(4y+3)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(4y+3)(3y+1)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=\frac{-\,3}{4}\] and \[y=\frac{-1}{3}\]
    \[\therefore \]  \[x<y\]
