    Directions: In the following questions, two equations numbered I and II have been given. You have to solve both the equations and mark the correct answer.                                                      [SBI (PO) 2015]
    I. \[3{{x}^{2}}+29x+56=0\] II. \[2{{y}^{2}}+15y+25=0\]

    A)  lf \[x<y\]

    B)  If \[x>y\]

    C)  If\[x\ge y\]

    D)  If \[x\le y\]

    E)  If relationship between x and y cannot be established

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] I. \[3{{x}^{2}}+29x+56=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3{{x}^{2}}+21x+8x+56=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3x\,(x+7)+8\,(x+7)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(3x+8)(x+7)=0\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,x=-7,\]\[-\frac{8}{3}\]
    II. \[2{{y}^{2}}+15y+25=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2{{y}^{2}}+10y+5y+25=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2y\,(y+5)+5\,(y+5)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(y+5)(2y+5)=0\Rightarrow y=-5,\]\[-\frac{5}{2}\]
    Hence, \[y>x\]
