x2 - 365 = 364
⇒ x2 = 364 + 365
∴ x = √729 = ± 27
and y - √324 = √81 ⇒ y - 18 = 9
∴ y = 27
So, y ≥ x or x ≤ y because y = 27 and x = 27 and - 27.Correct Option: D
x2 - 365 = 364
⇒ x2 = 364 + 365
∴ x = √729 = ± 27
and y - √324 = √81 ⇒ y - 18 = 9
∴ y = 27
So, y ≥ x or x ≤ y because y = 27 and x = 27 and - 27.

4/√x + 7/√x = √x;
⇒ 11/√x = √x
∴ x = 11
and y2 - (11)5/2/√y = 0 ⇒ y2 = (11)5/2/(y)1/2
⇒ y2 x y1/2 = (11)5/2
⇒ (y)5/2 = (11)5/2
∴ y = 11
∴ x = yCorrect Option: E
4/√x + 7/√x = √x;
⇒ 11/√x = √x
∴ x = 11
and y2 - (11)5/2/√y = 0
⇒ y2 = (11)5/2/(y)1/2
⇒ y2 x y1/2 = (11)5/2
⇒ (y)5/2 = (11)5/2
∴ y = 11
∴ x = y

Let Mr . Arjun is on tour for N days.
Then, according to the question,
Difference in expenses per day for original and extended tour = 3
360/N - 360/(N + 4) = 3Correct Option: B
Let Mr . Arjun is on tour for N days.
Then, according to the question,
Difference in expenses per day for original and extended tour = 3
360/N - 360/(N + 4) = 3
⇒ 1/N - 1/(N + 4) = 3/360 = 1/120
⇒ [N + 4 - N] / [ N x (N + 4)] = 1/120
⇒ N(N + 4) = 4 x 120 = 480
⇒ N2 + 4N - 480 = 0
⇒ N2 + 24 - 20x - 480 = 0
⇒ N(N + 24) - 20(N + 24) = 0
⇒ (N + 24) (N - 20) = 0
∴ N = 20
(we ignore -ve value of x, that is, -24 because days cannot be negative)

As per the given above question , we have
Let k1 and k2 be the roots of quadratic equation .
One root is k1 = √5
So the other root is k2 = − √5
∴ Sum of the roots = k1 + k2 = √5 + ( -√5 ) = 0
and product of the roots = k1 × k2 = − (√5) (- √5) = −5Correct Option: C

and product of the roots = k1 × k2 = − (√5) (- √5) = −5
∴ Required equation is x2 - (sum of the roots)x + (product of the roots) = 0
⇒ x2 - 5 = 0.

Given equation is : y + 1 = 10 , y 3 where y = x + 4 x - 4
∴ 3y2 - 10y + 3 = 0⇒ y = 3, 1 3 ∴ y = x + 4 = 3 or, y = x + 4 = 1 x - 4 x - 4 3
Correct Option: C
Given equation is : y + 1 = 10 , y 3 where y = x + 4 x - 4
∴ 3y2 - 10y + 3 = 0⇒ y = 3, 1 3 ∴ y = x + 4 = 3 or, y = x + 4 = 1 x - 4 x - 4 3
3x + 12 = x - 4 or, x + 4 = 3x - 12
⇒ x = - 8 or, x = 8
Hence , the roots of equation are - 8 and 8 .
