Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • I. $ {{(17)}^{2}}+114\cdot 18=x $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 17^{2}+\frac{114}{18}=x $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 289+6.33=x $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 295.33=x $ II. $ {{(26)}^{2}}-18\times 21=y $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 676-378=y $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 298=y $

$ \therefore $ $ y>x $
