In each of these questions two equations numbered I & II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer.
$$2a^{2}+3a+1=0$$ => $$2a^{2}+2a+a+1=0$$ => 2a(a+1) + 1(a+1) = 0
So, a = -1/2 or -1
$$12b^{2}+7b+1=0$$ => $$12b^{2}+3b+4b+1=0$$ => 3b(4b+1)+1(4b+1)=0
So, b = -1/3 or -1/4
Hence a<b.
