Determine the relation between x and y by solving the two quadratic equations.
I. x2 - 12x + 11 = 0
II. y2 = y
  • Ax < y
  • Bx > y
  • Cx = y OR the relationship cannot be determined.
  • Dx ≤ y

I. x2 - 12x + 11 = 0

⇒ x2 - x - 11x + 11 = 0

⇒ x(x - 1) - 11(x - 1) = 0

⇒ (x - 11) (x - 1) = 0

⇒ x = +11 OR x = +1

II. y2 = y

⇒ y2 - y = 0

⇒ y(y - 1) = 0

⇒ y = 0 OR y = +1

So, when x = +1, x = y for y = 1 and x > y for y = 0

And when x = +11, x > y for y = 1 and x > y for y = 0

∴ x ≥ y.
