    Directions: In the following questions, two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer                                                                          [IBPS RRB (Office Assistant) 2012]
    I. \[2{{x}^{2}}-(4+\sqrt{13})\,x+2\sqrt{13}=0\]
    II. \[10{{y}^{2}}-(18+5\sqrt{13})y+9\sqrt{13}=0\]

    A) If \[x>y\]          

    B) If \[x\ge y\]

    C) If \[x<y\]                      

    D) If \[x\le y\]

    E) If \[x=y\]or relationship cannot be established

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    I. \[2{{x}^{2}}-4x-\sqrt{13}x+2\sqrt{13}=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[2x\,\,(x-2)-\sqrt{13}(x-2)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(x-2)(2x-\sqrt{13})=0\]
    \[\therefore \]                  \[x=2,\]\[\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}\]
    II. \[10{{y}^{2}}-(18y)-5\sqrt{13}y+9\sqrt{13}=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[2y\,\,(5y-9)-\sqrt{13}\,\,(5y-9)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[(5y-9)(2y-\sqrt{13})=0\]
    \[\therefore \]                \[y=\frac{9}{5},\]\[y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]
    Hence, \[x\ge y\]
