Can you connect 2 separate XLR inputs to one quarter inch RCA outputs?

Normally, you can. To be clear, RCA connectors (known as phonos in Europe) are not 1/4" jacks. The two are different types of connector and for this answer, we will assume that the connector is in fact a 1/4" jack rather than RCAs.
There are several wiring configurations depending on how the 1/4" jack is wired.
If the jack socket carries a stereo audio signal (like a headphone output), this is the right configuration: The tip of the 1/4" jack is wired to pin 2 of the first XLR plug. The ring of the jack is wired to pin 2 of the second XLR plug Both of these should use the core of a screened cable. The screens of both cables should be connected to the sleeve of the jack. Each screen should them be connected to pins 1 and 3 of the appropriate XLR.
If the jack is carrying balanced, single channel audio, this is the configuration: The tip of the jack is connected to pin 2 of the XLR plug. The ring of the XLR connects to pin 3 of the XLR and the sleeve of the jack connects to pin 1 of the XLR. To connect 2 XLRs to the same jack output, simply wire two cables into the jack and put an XLR on the end of each cable.
These cover most of the common configurations but as with all things, there are exceptions to these guidelines. If there is any doubt about the way the connectors need to be wired, it's worth asking the right questions before proceeding.
It might be worth mentioning that the output levels of domestic equipment tend to be lower than for professional equipment. You may find that the audio level might be lower than expected when connecting to XLR inputs.

How do you hook up Behringer mixer to Amplifier?
You connect the mixers main outputs to the inputs of the amplifier and the outputs of the amplifier to speakers
How many number of inputs and outputs will a full adder will have?
3 inputs and 2 outputs
How do you connect a data projector to a TV?
This may be difficult. If the television has video outputs, you can connect these to the projector. Most of the connections found on a tv are inputs, however.
What are some transformation processes from inputs into outputs?
Facilities and staff are some transformation processes from inputs into outputs.
What are the inputs and outputs for a fan?
The number & types of inputs & outputs will vary with the complexity of the VFD & serve as a means of comparison between manufacturers of variable frequency drives. VFD inputs & outputs are either digital or analog signals. Digital inputs & outputs have two states (either on or off), while analog inputs & outputs have many states that vary across a range of values.
What type of wire do you use to connect a computer to a television?
Depends on the inputs on the TV and outputs on the computer. You can use Firewire, USB, or component.

What is speaker cable used for?
Speaker cable is used to connect the speaker outputs on audio devices such as a receiver or amplifier to the inputs on the speaker(s).
What does audio and video option mean?
A/V option means that there are either inputs or outputs that you can use to for example connect a DV camera to your TV.
How output device linked with CPU?
Output devices are connected to the CPU through the northbridge and southbridge, (collectively called the chipset) but they connect to different device.we can connect all inputs and outputs in this.
