    Give answer
    I. \[5{{x}^{2}}+29x+20=0\]
    II. \[25{{y}^{2}}+25y+6=0\]

    A) if \[x\ge y\]

    B) if \[x\le y\]

    C) if \[x<y\]

    D) if \[x>y\]

    E) if relationship between x and y cannot be established

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    I. \[5{{x}^{2}}+29x+20=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[5{{x}^{2}}+25x+4x+20=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[5x\,(x+5)+4\,(x+5)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(5x+4)(x+5)=0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=-\,5\] or \[\frac{-4}{5}\]
    II. \[25{{y}^{2}}+25y+6=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[25{{y}^{2}}+15y+10y+6=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[5y\,(5y+3)+2\,(5y+3)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(5y+2)(5y+3)=0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[y=\frac{-\,3}{5}\] or \[\frac{-\,2}{5}\]
    Hence, x < y
