Quadratic Equation
Direction: In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer
( 1 ) if x > y
( 2 ) if x ≥ y
( 3 ) if x < y
( 4 ) if x ≤ y
( 5 ) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.

According to question ,we have
From equation Ⅰ.
x2 = 729
⇒ x = ± √729 = ± 27
From equation Ⅱ.
y = √729Correct Option: D
According to question ,we have
From equation Ⅰ. x2 = 729
⇒ x = ± √729 = ± 27
From equation Ⅱ. y = √729
⇒ y = 27
Hence , x ≤ y is required answer .
- Ⅰ. x2 – 4 = 0
Ⅱ. y2 + 6y + 9 = 0

According to question ,we have
From equation Ⅰ. x2 – 4 = 0
From equation Ⅱ. y2 + 6y + 9 = 0
⇒ ( y + 3 )2 = 0Correct Option: A
According to question ,we have
From equation Ⅰ. x2 – 4 = 0
⇒ x = ± 2,
From equation Ⅱ. y2 + 6y + 9 = 0
⇒ ( y + 3 )2 = 0
⇒ ( y + 3 )( y + 3 ) = 0
⇒ y + 3 = 0 ⇒ y = -3 , -3
Clearly , x > y is required answer .

As we know that ,
For reciprocal roots, product of roots must be 1∴ c = I ⇒ c = a a Correct Option: C
As we know that ,
For reciprocal roots, product of roots must be 1∴ c = I ⇒ c = a a
Thus , required answer is c = a .

Let, the two natural consecutive odd numbers be n and (n + 2)
Now, according to the question,
⇒ n2 + ( n + 2 )2 = 394
⇒ n2 + n2 + 4 + 4n = 394Correct Option: D
Let, the two natural consecutive odd numbers be n and (n + 2)
Now, according to the question,
⇒ n2 + ( n + 2 )2 = 394
⇒ n2 + n2 + 4 + 4n = 394
⇒ 2n2 + 4n - 390= 0
⇒ n2 + 2n - 195 = 0
⇒ n2 + 15n - 13n - 195 = 0
⇒ n( n + 15 ) - 13( n + 15 ) = 0
⇒ ( n + 15 ) ( n - 13 ) = 0
⇒ n = 13 and n ≠ - 15
∴ The two natural consecutive odd numbers be 13 and (13 + 2) = 15 .
∴ the sum of the numbers = 13 + 15 = 28
Quicker Approach:
By mental operation, 132 + 152 = 169 + 225 = 394
∴ Required sum = 13 + 15 = 28

According to question ,we can say that
Let , x = √30 + √30 + √30 +........
On squaring both sides, we have
x2 = 30 + √30 + √30 + √30 +........
⇒ x2 = 30 + x ⇔ x2 - x - 30 = 0
⇒ x2 - 6x + 5x - 30 = 0Correct Option: C
According to question ,we can say that
Let , x = √30 + √30 + √30 +........
On squaring both sides, we have
x2 = 30 + √30 + √30 + √30 +........
⇒ x2 = 30 + x ⇔ x2 - x - 30 = 0
⇒ x2 - 6x + 5x - 30 = 0
⇒ x( x - 6 ) + 5( x - 6 ) = 0
⇒ ( x - 6 ) ( x + 5 ) = 0
⇒ x = 6 because x ≠ - 5
Hence , required answer is 6 .
