Let, the breadth of the rectangular plot be x m. Then the length of rectangular plot = (x + 8) m
∴ Area = Length × Breadth = x(x + 8)m2 But the area of the plot is given to be 308 m2
∴ x( x + 8 ) = 308 ⇒ x2 + 8x - 308 = 0Correct Option: C
Let, the breadth of the rectangular plot be x m. Then the length of rectangular plot = (x + 8) m
∴ Area = Length × Breadth = x(x + 8)m2 But the area of the plot is given to be 308 m2
∴ x( x + 8 ) = 308 ⇒ x2 + 8x - 308 = 0
⇒ x2 + 22x - 14x - 308 = 0
⇒ x( x + 22 ) - 14 ( x - 22 ) = 0
⇒ ( x + 22 ) ( x - 14 ) = 0
⇒ x = 14, -22
But, x = −22 is not possible, since breath cannot be negative
∴ x = 14
Hence the breadth of the rectangular plot = 14 m Length of the rectangular plot = (14 + 8) m = 22 m.

We can say that ,
Putting in above equation , x - 1 = y x ∴ x + 1 2 = x2 + 1 + 2 = x + 1 2 + 4 = y2 + 4 x x2 x Correct Option: C
We can say that ,
Putting in above equation , x - 1 = y x
So, given equation becomes∴ x + 1 2 = x2 + 1 + 2 = x + 1 2 + 4 = y2 + 4 x x2 x ⇒ y y - 3 = 0 ⇒ y = 0 or y = 3 2 2 ∴ x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x - 1 = 3 x x 2
⇒ x2 - 1 = 0 or 2x2 - 3x - 2 = 0
⇒ x = ± 1 or ( 2x + 1 ) ( x - 2 ) = 0
⇒ x = ± 1 or - 1/2 or x = 2.
Thus , option C is correct answer .
Direction: In each of these questions, two equations are given. You have to solve these equations and find out the values of x and y and Give answer
( 1 ) if x < y
( 2 ) if x > y
( 3 ) if x ≤ y
( 4 ) if x ≥ y
( 5 ) if x = y

As we can say that ,
From equation Ⅰ. 18x2 + 18x + 4 = 0
⇒ 18x2 + 12x + 6x + 4 = 0
⇒ 6x(3x + 2) + 2(3x + 2) = 0
From equation Ⅱ.
12y2 + 29y + l4 = 0
⇒ 12y2 + 21y + 8y + 14 = 0Correct Option: D
As we can say that ,
From equation Ⅰ. 18x2 + 18x + 4 = 0
⇒ 18x2 + 12x + 6x + 4 = 0
⇒ 6x(3x + 2) + 2(3x + 2) = 0
⇒ (6x + 2)(3x + 2) = 0⇒ x = - 1 , - 2 3 3
From equation Ⅱ. 12y2 + 29y + l4 = 0
⇒ 12y2 + 21y + 8y + 14 = 0
⇒ 3y(4y + 7) + 2(4y + 7) = 0
⇒ (3y + 2)(4y + 7) = 6
From above equations we can say that x ≥ y is correct answer .⇒ y = - 2 , - 7 3 4

Given equation is 2x2 - 9x - 18 = 0
[by factorisation method]
⇒ 2x2 - 12x + 3x - 18 = 0Correct Option: C
Given equation is 2x2 - 9x - 18 = 0
[by factorisation method]
⇒ 2x2 - 12x + 3x - 18 = 0
⇒ 2x(x - 6) + 3(x - 6) = 0
⇒ (2x + 3) (x - 6) = 0
∴ x = -3/2, 6
