    Directions: In each of the following questions two equations are given, solve these equations and give answer.                                                                                                                          [IBPS (PO) 2013]
    I. \[{{x}^{2}}+20=9x\]                     
    II. \[{{y}^{2}}+42=13y\]

    A) If \[x\ge y\]                    

    B) If \[x>y\]

    C) If \[x\le y\]                    

    D) If \[x<y\]

    E) If \[x=y\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    I. \[{{x}^{2}}+20=9x\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}-9x+20=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}-5x-4x+20=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[x\,\,(x-5)-4\,\,(x-5)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(x-4)(x-5)=0\]
    \[\therefore \]                  \[x=4,\]\[5\]
    II. \[{{y}^{2}}+42=13y\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{y}^{2}}-13y+42=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{y}^{2}}-7y-6y+42=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[y\,\,(y-7)-6\,\,(y-7)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[(y-6)(y-7)=0\]
    \[\therefore \]                \[y=6,7\]
    Hence, \[x<y\]
