    Directions: In the given questions, two equations numbered I and II are given. Solve both the equations and mark the appropriate answer.
    I.  \[12{{x}^{2}}-x-1=0\] 
    II. \[20{{y}^{2}}-41y+20=0\]

    A) \[x>y\]

    B) \[x\ge y\]

    C) \[x<y\]

    D) Relationship between a; and y cannot be determined

    E) \[x\le y\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    I. \[12{{x}^{2}}-x-1=0\]
    \[D=\sqrt{{{b}^{2}}-4ac}=\sqrt{1-4\times 12\times (-1)}\]
                \[=\sqrt{1+48}=\sqrt{49}=7\]
                \[{{x}_{1}}=\frac{-\,b+D}{2a}=\frac{1+7}{24}=\frac{8}{24}=\frac{1}{3}\]
                \[{{x}_{2}}=\frac{-\,b-D}{2a}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{2}}=\frac{1-7}{24}=\frac{-\,6}{24}=\frac{-1}{4}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{1}{3},\] \[-\,\,\frac{1}{4}\]
    II. \[20{{y}^{2}}-41y+20\]
                \[{{y}_{1}}=\frac{41+\sqrt{1681-1600}}{40}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{y}_{1}}=\frac{41+9}{40}=\frac{50}{40}=\frac{5}{4}\]
    and       \[{{y}_{2}}=\frac{41-\sqrt{1681-1600}}{40}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{y}_{2}}=\frac{32}{40}=\frac{4}{5}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[y=\frac{5}{4},\]\[\frac{4}{5}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[x<y\]
