Solutions:

1. From equation I:
10x2 -11x +3 = (5x -3)(2x -1)= 0
=> x = 3/5, 1/2
From equation II:
y2 +30y +224 = (y + 14)(y + 16) = 0
=> y = -14, -16
X = 3/5 X = 1/2
Y = -14 x > y x>y
Y = -16 x > y x>y
So, x > y

2. From equation I:
10x2 -11x -35 = (2x -5)(5x + 7)= 0
=> x = 5/2, -7/5
From equation II:
y2 -19y -92 = (y -23)(y + 4) = 0
=> y = 23, -4
X = 5/2 X = -7/5
Y = 23 x < y x<y
Y = -4 x > y x>y
So, relationship cannot be established between x and y

3. From equation I:
10x2 -17x -20 = (5x + 4)(2x -5)= 0
=> x = -4/5, 5/2
From equation II:

=> y = -9, 21
X = 5/2 X = -3/5
Y = -9 x > y x>y
Y = 21 x < y x<y
So, relationship cannot be established between x and y

5. From equation I:
10x2 -19x +7 = (5x -7)(2x -1)= 0
=> x = 7/5, 1/2
From equation II:

41. The pattern adds the number to product of a prime number and the number following it:
26 + 7 x 8 = 82
82 + 11 x 12 = 214
214 + 13 x 14 = 396
396 + 17 x 18 = 702
702 + 19 x 20 = 1082

42. The pattern is as follows:

102 + 122 = 244
112 + 132 = 290
122 + 142 = 340
132 + 152 = 394
142 + 162 = 452

43. The series adds the product of the digits to the previous number:
289 + 144 = 433
433 + 36 = 469
