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.

  1. Ⅰ. x2 = 729
    Ⅱ. y = √729

    According to question ,we have
    From equation Ⅰ.
    x2 = 729
    ⇒ x = ± √729 = ± 27

    From equation Ⅱ.
    y = √729

    Correct 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 .


  1. 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 = 0

    Correct 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 .



  1. The roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 will be reciprocal if

    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 .


  1. The sum of the squares of 2 natural consecutive odd numbers is 394. The sum of the numbers is :

    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

    Correct 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



  1. Find the value of 30 + √30 + √30 +........









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    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

    Correct 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 .
