    Directions: In these questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer.                                                                                                                          [IBPS (SO) 2014]
    I. \[6{{x}^{2}}+5x+1=0\]    
    II. \[15{{y}^{2}}+8y+1=0\]

    A) If \[x>y\]

    B)                    If \[x\le y\]

    C) If \[x<y\]                      

    D) If \[x\ge y\]

    E) If relationship between x and y cannot be established

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    I. \[6{{x}^{2}}+5x+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[6{{x}^{2}}+3x+2x+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[3x\,\,(2x+1)+1\,\,(2x+1)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[(3x+1)+(2x+1)=0\]
    \[x=\frac{-1}{3},\]\[-\frac{1}{2}\]
    II. \[15{{y}^{2}}+8y+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[15{{y}^{2}}+5y+3y+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[5y\,\,(3y+1)+1\,\,(3y+1)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[(5y+1)(3y+1)=0\]
    \[\therefore \]                \[y=-\frac{1}{5},\]\[-\frac{1}{3}\]
    Hence, \[x\le y\]
