Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • I. $ 9x^{2}-36x+35=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 9x^{2}-21x-15x+35=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3x,(3x-7)-5,(3x-7)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ (3x-7)(3x-5)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{7}{3}, $ $ \frac{5}{3} $ II. $ 2y^{2}-15y+27=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2y^{2}-6y-9y+27=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2y,(y-3)-9,(y-3)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ (y-3)(2y-9)=0 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ y=3, $ $ \frac{9}{2} $

$ \therefore $ $ x<y $
