Quadratic Equation


  1. One root of the quadratic equation x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 is 3. Find the other root.









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    The given equation is
    x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x2 - 2x - 3x + 6 = 0
    ⇒ x( x - 2 ) - 3( x - 2 ) = 0
    ⇒ ( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0
    ⇒ x - 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

    Correct Option: A

    The given equation is
    x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x 2 - 2x - 3x+ 6 = 0
    ⇒ x( x - 2 ) - 3( x - 2 ) = 0
    ⇒ ( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0
    ⇒ x - 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
    x = 2 or x = 3
    Thus, the other root of the given quadratic equation is 2.

    Given that :- sum of the roots = 6
    And Product of two roots = -16
    The required quadratic equation is x2 − (sum of the roots) x + (product of the roots) = 0

    Correct Option: A

    Given that :- sum of the roots = 6
    And Product of two roots = -16
    The required quadratic equation is x2 − (sum of the roots) x + (product of the roots) = 0
    ⇒ x2 - 6x - 16 = 0



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

    According to question ,we can say that
    Ⅰ. 4x + 7y = 209 ..........................( 1 )
    Ⅱ. 12x − 14y = − 38 .................... ( 2 )
    Multiplying (1) by (2):
    8x + 14y = 418 ................(3)
    Adding (2) and (3):
    20x = 380 ⇒ x = 19

    Correct Option: E

    According to question ,we can say that
    Ⅰ. 4x + 7y = 209 ...............( 1 )
    Ⅱ. 12x − 14y = − 38 .................... ( 2 )
    Multiplying (1) by (2):
    8x + 14y = 418 ................(3)
    Adding (2) and (3):
    20x = 380 ⇒ x = 19
    Substituting the value of x in (1), we get
    76 + 7y = 209
    ⇒ 7y = 133 ⇒ y = 19
    From above equations it is clear that x = y is correct answer .


  1. Which of the following equations is a quadratic ?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Quadratic equation must be in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0.

    Correct Option: C

    Clearly, 7x2 = 49 or 7x2 - 49 = 0, which is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where b = 0.
    Thus, 7x2 - 49 = 0 is a quadratic equation.



  1. Ⅰ. 8x2 + 6x = 5
    Ⅱ. 12y2 − 22y + 8 = 0

    According to question , we have
    From equation Ⅰ.
    8x2 + 6x - 5 = 0
    ⇒ 8x2 + 10x − 4x − 5 = 0
    ⇒ 2x(4x + 5) − 1(4x + 5) = 0

    From equation Ⅱ.
    12y2 − 22y + 8 = 0
    ⇒ 12y2 − 16y − 6y + 8 = 0

    Correct Option: C

    According to question , we have
    From equation Ⅰ. 8x2 + 6x - 5 = 0
    ⇒ 8x2 + 10x − 4x − 5 = 0
    ⇒ 2x(4x + 5) − 1(4x + 5) = 0
    ⇒ (2x − 1)(4x + 5) = 0

    ⇒ x =
    1
    , -
    5
    2
    4
    From equation Ⅱ. 12y2 − 22y + 8 = 0
    ⇒ 12y2 − 16y − 6y + 8 = 0
    ⇒ 4y(3y − 4) − 2(3y − 4) = 0
    ⇒ (4y − 2)(3y − 4) = 0
    ⇒ y =
    1
    ,
    4
    2
    3
    Hence ,required answer will be x ≤ y .
