In this question, two equations are given. Answer the questions based ...
Solution:
a and b are two roots and a + b = 4.5
sum of roots = -(coefficient of x)/(coefficient of x2)
= 4.5 = 9/2
Coefficient of x = 9
P = 9
c and d are two roots of the given equation such as one root is 40% of the largest root of first equation.
one root = 40/100 × 2.5 = 1
Product of roots = constant term/coefficient of y
= 19/4
c × d = 4.75
c > d
c = 4.75
d = 1
Roots of second equation = 1 and 4.75
I. Values of a + c = b + d
LHS, a + c = 2.5 + 4.75 = 7.25
RHS, b + d = 2 + 1 = 3
LHS ≠ RHS
II. c + d = 5.75
LHS, c + d = 4.75 + 1
= 5.75 = RHS
III. a > b > c > d
Incorrect since c have highest value.

Given Equations
I. 2x2 - Px + 10 = 0
a and b are two roots of the given equation and their sum is a + b = 4.5. (a > b)
II. 4y2 - Ry + 19 = 0
c and d are two roots of the given equation such as one root is 40% of the largest root of the first equation. (c > d)
Analysis
To determine which statements are correct, we need to analyze the information provided in the given equations.
I. Values of a + c = b + d
From the first equation, we know that a + b = 4.5.
From the second equation, let's assume that one root of the second equation (4y2 - Ry + 19 = 0) is 40% of the largest root of the first equation (2x2 - Px + 10 = 0).
Let the largest root of the first equation be 'x1'.
So, one root of the second equation is 0.4 * x1.
Therefore, a + 0.4x1 = b + 0.6x1.
Since a + b = 4.5, we can say that 0.4x1 + 4.5 = 0.6x1 + 4.5.
Solving this, we get x1 = 9 and a = 1.8, b = 2.7.
Now, from the second equation, we can say that c = 0.4 * 9 = 3.6, d = 0.6 * 9 = 5.4.
Therefore, a + c = 1.8 + 3.6 = 5.4 and b + d = 2.7 + 5.4 = 8.1.
So, the statement is incorrect.
Conclusion
The correct statement is:
c) Only II. a > b > c > d.
