In the following question, two equations (I) and (II) are given. Solve both equations and answer the question. I. $3x + 2y = 7$ II. $2x + 5y = 12$

1. x<y
2. x>y
3. x≤y
4. x=y or no relation between x & y.

Correct answer: x<y

Solution

Solving the equations gives specific values of x and y. After substitution, x is found to be smaller than y. Therefore, the correct relation is x<y.
