    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) Grade A 2012]
    I. \[{{(169)}^{1/2}}x+\sqrt{289}=134\]
    II. \[{{(361)}^{1/2}}{{y}^{2}}-270=1269\]

    A) If \[x>y\]                      

    B) If \[x\ge y\]

    C) If \[x<y\]                      

    D) If \[x\le y\]

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{(169)}^{1/2}}x+\sqrt{289}=134\]               … (i)
    \[{{(361)}^{1/2}}{{y}^{2}}-270=1269\]                     … (ii)
    Above equations can be rewritten as,
    I. \[13x+17=134\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[13x=134-17\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[13x=117\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{117}{13}=9\]
    \[\therefore \]    \[x=9\]
    II. \[19{{y}^{2}}-270=1269\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[19{{y}^{2}}=1269+270\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[19{{y}^{2}}=1539\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{y}^{2}}=\frac{1539}{19}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{y}^{2}}=81\]
    \[\therefore \]    \[y=\pm \,\,9\]
    Hence, \[x\ge y\]
