I.$x^{2} – 3x – 88 = 0$

=> $x^2 + 8x – 11x – 88 = 0$

=> $x (x + 8) – 11 (x + 8) = 0$

=> $(x + 8) (x – 11) = 0$

=> $x = -8 , 11$

II.$y^{2} + 8y – 48 = 0$

=> $y^2 + 12y – 4y – 48 = 0$

=> $y (y + 12) – 4 (y + 12) = 0$

=> $(y + 12) (y – 4) = 0$

=> $y = -12 , 4$

$\therefore$ No relation can be established.

I.$5x^{2} + 29x + 20 = 0$

=> $5x^2 + 25x + 4x + 20 = 0$

=> $5x (x + 5) + 4 (x + 5) = 0$

=> $(x + 5) (5x + 4) = 0$

=> $x = -5 , \frac{-4}{5}$

II.$25y^{2} + 25y + 6 = 0$

=> $25y^2 + 10y + 15y + 6 = 0$

=> $5y (5y + 2) + 3 (5y + 2) = 0$

=> $(5y + 3) (5y + 2) = 0$

=> $y = \frac{-3}{5} , \frac{-2}{5}$

Therefore $x < y$

I.$2x^{2} – 11x + 12 = 0$

=> $2x^2 – 8x – 3x + 12 = 0$

=> $2x (x – 4) – 3 (x – 4) = 0$

=> $(x – 4) (2x – 3) = 0$

=> $x = 4 , \frac{3}{2}$

II.$2y^{2} – 19y + 44 = 0$

=> $2y^2 – 8y – 11y + 44 = 0$

=> $2y (y – 4) – 11 (y – 4) = 0$

=> $(y – 4) (2y – 11) = 0$

=> $y = 4 , \frac{11}{2}$

$\therefore x \leq y$

I.$3x^{2} + 10x + 8 = 0$

=> $3x^2 + 6x + 4x + 8 = 0$

=> $3x (x + 2) + 4 (x + 2) = 0$

=> $(x + 2) (3x + 4) = 0$

=> $x = -2 , \frac{-4}{3}$

II.$3y^{2} + 7y + 4 = 0$

=> $3y^2 + 3y + 4y + 4 = 0$

=> $3y (y + 1) + 4 (y + 1) = 0$

=> $(y + 1) (3y + 4) = 0$

=> $y = -1 , \frac{-4}{3}$

$\therefore x \leq y$

I.$2x^{2} + 21x + 10 = 0$

=> $2x^2 + x + 20x + 10 = 0$

=> $x (2x + 1) + 10 (2x + 1) = 0$

=> $(x + 10) (2x + 1) = 0$

=> $x = -10 , \frac{-1}{2}$

II.$3y^{2} + 13y + 14 = 0$

=> $3y^2 + 6y + 7y + 14 = 0$

=> $3y (y + 2) + 7 (y + 2) = 0$

=> $(y + 2) (3y + 7) = 0$

=> $y = -2 , \frac{-7}{3}$

$\therefore$ No relation can be established.

I.$x^{2} + 13x + 42 = 0$

=> $x^2 + 7x + 6x + 42 = 0$

=> $x (x + 7) + 6 (x + 7) = 0$

=> $(x + 7) (x + 6) = 0$

=> $x = -7 , -6$

II.$y^{2} + 19y + 90 = 0$

=> $y^2 + 9y + 10y + 90 = 0$

=> $y (y + 9) + 10 (y + 9) = 0$

=> $(y + 9) (y + 10) = 0$

=> $y = -9 , -10$

$\therefore x > y$

I.$x^{2} – 15x + 56 = 0$

=> $x^2 – 8x – 7x + 56 = 0$

=> $x (x – 8) – 7 (x – 8) = 0$

=> $(x – 8) (x – 7) = 0$

=> $x = 8 , 7$

II.$y^{2} – 23y + 132 = 0$

=> $y^2 – 11y – 12y + 132 = 0$

=> $y (y – 11) – 12 (y – 11) = 0$

=> $(y – 11) (y – 12) = 0$

=> $y = 11 , 12$

$\therefore x < y$

I.$x^{2} + 7x + 12 = 0$

=> $x^2 + 3x + 4x + 12 = 0$

=> $x (x + 3) + 4 (x + 3) = 0$

=> $(x + 3) (x + 4) = 0$

=> $x = -3 , -4$

II.$y^{2} + 6y + 8 = 0$

=> $y^2 + 4y + 2y + 8 = 0$

=> $y (y + 4) + 2 (y + 4) = 0$

=> $(y + 4) (y + 2) = 0$

=> $y = -4 , -2$

Because $-2 > -4$ and $-3 > -4$

Therefore, no relation can be established.

I.$x^{2} – 22x + 120 = 0$

=> $x^2 – 10x – 12x + 120 = 0$

=> $x (x – 10) – 12 (x – 10) = 0$

=> $(x – 10) (x – 12) = 0$

=> $x = 10 , 12$

II.$y^{2} – 26y + 168 = 0$

=> $y^2 – 12y – 14y + 168 = 0$

=> $y (y – 12) – 14 (y – 12) = 0$

=> $(y – 12) (y – 14) = 0$

=> $y = 12 , 14$

$\therefore x \leq y$

I.$x^{2} + 12x + 32 = 0$

=> $x^2 + 8x + 4x + 32 = 0$

=> $x (x + 8) + 4 (x + 8) = 0$

=> $x = -8 , -4$

II.$y^{2} + 17y + 72 = 0$

=> $y^2 + 9y + 8y + 72 = 0$

=> $y (y + 9) + 8 (y + 9) = 0$

=> $(y + 9) (y + 8) = 0$

=> $y = -9 , -8$

$\therefore x \geq y$

Statement I : $30 x^{2} + 11x + 1 = 0$

=> $30x^2 + 6x + 5x + 1 = 0$

=> $6x (5x + 1) + 1 (5x + 1) = 0$

=> $(6x + 1) (5x + 1) = 0$

=> $x = \frac{-1}{6} , \frac{-1}{5}$

Statement II : $42 y^{2} + 13y + 1 = 0$

=> $42y^2 + 7y + 6y + 1 = 0$

=> $7y (6y + 1) + 1 (6y + 1) = 0$

=> $(7y + 1) (6y + 1) = 0$

=> $y = \frac{-1}{7} , \frac{-1}{6}$

$\therefore$ $x \leq y$

I. $x^{2}- x – \sqrt{2}x + \sqrt{2}=0$

=> $x (x – 1) – \sqrt{2} (x – 1) = 0$

=> $(x – \sqrt{2}) (x – 1) = 0$

=> $x = \sqrt{2} , 1$

II. $y^{2}-3y+2=0$

$\therefore$ No relation established.

Statement I : $x^{2}-2x-\sqrt{5}x+2\sqrt{5}=0$

=> $x (x – 2) – \sqrt{5} (x – 2) = 0$

=> $(x – \sqrt{5}) (x – 2) = 0$

=> $x = \sqrt{5} , 2$

Statement II : $y^{2}-\sqrt{3}y-\sqrt{2}y+\sqrt{6}=0$

=> $(y – \sqrt{2}) (y – \sqrt{3}) = 0$

=> $y = \sqrt{2} , \sqrt{3}$

$\therefore$ $x > y$

Statement 1 : $x^2 + 12x + 36 = 0$

=> $x^2 + 2.x.6 + 6^2 = 0$

=> $(x + 6)^2 = 0$

=> $x = -6$

Statement II : $y^2 = 16$
