Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • I. $ 5x^{2}-18x+9=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 5x^{2}-15x-3x+9=0 $

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

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

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

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3y^{2}+6y-y-2=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3y(y+2)-1(y+2)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ (3y-1)(y+2)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ y=-2, $ $ \frac{1}{3} $

$ \therefore $ $ y<x $
