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.

    From the given equations , we can say that
    From equation Ⅰ.
    x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
    ⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0


    From equation Ⅱ.
    y2 + y - 12 = 0
    ⇒ y2 + 4y - 3y - 12 = 0

    Correct Option: B

    From the given equations , we can say that
    From equation Ⅰ.
    x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
    ⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
    ⇒ x( x - 4 ) - 3( x - 4 ) = 0
    ⇒ ( x - 3 )( x - 4 ) = 0
    ⇒ x = 3 or x = 4

    From equation Ⅱ.
    y2 + y - 12 = 0
    ⇒ y2 + 4y - 3y - 12 = 0
    ⇒ y( y + 4 ) - 3( y + 4 ) = 0
    ⇒ ( y - 3 )( y + 4 ) = 0
    ⇒ y = 3 or y = - 4
    From above both equations it is clear that x ≥ y is correct answer .

    According to question,
    From equation Ⅰ. x3 – 468 = 1729
    ⇒ x3 = 2197 = 133

    From equation Ⅱ. y2 – 1733 + 1564 = 0
    ⇒ y2 = 169 = 132

    Correct Option: B

    According to question,
    From equation Ⅰ. x3 – 468 = 1729
    ⇒ x3 = 2197 = 133
    ⇒ x = 13
    From equation Ⅱ. y2 – 1733 + 1564 = 0
    ⇒ y2 = 169 = 132
    ⇒ y = ±13
    Thus , x ≥ y is required answer .



  1. Ⅰ.784x + 1234 = 1486
    Ⅱ.1089y + 2081 = 2345

    According to question ,we can say that
    From equation Ⅰ.784x + 1234 = 1486
    ⇒ √784x = 252

    From equation Ⅱ.1089y + 2081 = 2345
    ⇒ √1089y = 264

    Correct Option: A

    According to question ,we can say that
    From equation Ⅰ.784x + 1234 = 1486
    ⇒ √784x = 252
    ⇒ 28x = 252
    ⇒ x = 9
    From equation Ⅱ.1089y + 2081 = 2345
    ⇒ √1089y = 264
    ⇒ 33y = 264
    ⇒ y = 8
    ∴ x > y
    Thus , required answer will be x > y .

    ⇒ y5y - ( 2 × 14 )11/2 = 0
    ⇒ y5 + ( 1/2 ) = ( 2 × 14 )11/2
    ⇒ y11/2 = ( 2 × 14 )11/2
    ⇒ y = 2 × 14 = 28
    ∴ x = y
    From above it is clear that x = y is required answer .
