Quadratic Equation for SBI PO Prelims Questions

1.) In the question, two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations to establish the correct relation between x and y and choose the correct option.

I. (x + 4)² = 23x – 20

II. (y – 3)² = 3 – y

a.) x > y

b.) x < y

c.) x = y or the relationship cannot be established

d.) x ≥ y

e.) x ≤ y

Answer: d)

Solution:

From I:

(x + 4)² = 23x – 20

x² + 8x + 16 = 23x – 20

x² – 15x + 36 = 0

x² – 3x – 12x + 36 = 0

x(x – 3) – 12(x – 3) = 0

(x – 3)(x – 12) = 0

x = 12, 3

From II:

(y – 3)² = 3 – y

y² – 6y + 9 = 3 – y

y² – 5y + 6 = 0

y² – 2y – 3y + 6 = 0

y(y – 2) – 3(y – 2) = 0

(y – 2)(y – 3) = 0

y = 2, 3

X	Relation	y
12	>	2
12	>	3
3	>	2
3	=	3

So, x ≥ y

Hence, option d.

2.) In the question, two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations to establish the correct relation between x and y and choose the correct option.

I. x² = 324

II. y² + 18y = 0

a.) x > y

b.) x < y

c.) x = y or the relationship cannot be established

d.) x ≥ y

e.) x ≤ y

Answer: c)

Solution:

From I:

x² = 324

x = -18, 18

From II:

y² + 18y = 0

y(y + 18) = 0

y = 0, -18

X	Relation	y
-18	<	0
-18	=	-18
18	>	0
18	>	-18

So, the relationship cannot be established.

Hence, option c.

3.) In the question, two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations to establish the correct relation between x and y and choose the correct option.

I. x³ = -729

II. y² + 15y + 54 = 0

a.) x > y

b.) x < y

c.) x = y or the relationship cannot be established

d.) x ≥ y

e.) x ≤ y

Answer: e)

Solution:

From I:

x³ = -729

x = -9

From II:

y² + 15y + 54 = 0

y² + 6y + 9y + 54 = 0

y(y + 6) + 9(y + 6) = 0

(y + 9)(y + 6) = 0

y = -9, -6

X	Relation	y
-9	=	-9
-9	<	-6

So, x ≤ y

Hence, option e.

Quadratic Equation for SBI PO Mains Questions

1.) In the question, two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations to establish the correct relation between x and y and choose the correct option.

I. x + 19√x + 90 = 0

II. y + 23√y + 130 = 0

a.) x > y

b.) x < y

c.) x = y or the relationship cannot be established

d.) x ≥ y

e.) x ≤ y

Answer: e)

Solution:

From I:

x + 19√x + 90 = 0

x + 9√x + 10√x + 90 = 0

√x(√x + 9) + 10(√x + 9) = 0

(√x + 10)(√x + 9) = 0

√x = -10, -9

x = 100, 81

From II:

y + 23√y + 130 = 0

y + 10√y + 13√y + 130 = 0

√y(√y + 10) + 13(√y + 10) = 0

(√y + 10)(√y + 13) = 0

√y = -10, -13

y = 100, 169

x	Relation	y
100	=	100
100	<	169
81	<	100
81	<	169

So, x ≤ y

Hence, option e.

2.) In the question, two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations to establish the correct relation between x and y and choose the correct option.

I. x² + (9√3)x + 60 = 0

II. y² + (6 + 4√3)y + 24√3 = 0

a.) x > y

b.) x < y

c.) x = y or the relationship cannot be established

d.) x ≥ y

e.) x ≤ y

Answer: e)

Solution:

From I:

x² + (9√3)x + 60 = 0

x² + (5√3)x + (4√3)x + 60 = 0

x(x + 5√3) + 4√3(x + 5√3) = 0

(x + 5√3)(x + 4√3) = 0

x = -5√3, -4√3

From II:

y² + (6 + 4√3)y + 24√3 = 0

y² + 6y + (4√3)y + 24√3 = 0

y(y + 6) + 4√3(y + 6) = 0

(y + 4√3)(y + 6) = 0

y = -4√3, -6

x	Relation	y
-5√3	<	-4√3
-5√3	<	-6
-4√3	=	-4√3
-4√3	<	-6

So, x ≤ y.

Hence, option e.

3.) In the question, two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations to establish the correct relation between x and y and choose the correct option.

I. 81x²+ 144x + 55 = 0

II. 81y²+ 180y + 91 = 0

a.) x > y

b.) x < y

c.) x = y or the relationship cannot be established

d.) x ≥ y

e.) x ≤ y

Answer: c)

Solution:

From I:

81x²+ 144x + 55 = 0

81x²+ 99x + 45x + 55 = 0

9x(9x + 11) + 5(9x + 11) = 0

(9x + 5)(9x + 11) = 0

x = -5/9, -11/9

From II:

81y²+ 180y + 91 = 0

81y²+ 117y + 63y + 91 = 0

9y(9y + 13) + 7(9y + 13) = 0

(9y + 7)(9y + 13) = 0

y = -7/9, -13/9

x	Relation	y
-5/9	>	-7/9
-5/9	>	-13/9
-11/9	<	-7/9
-11/9	>	-13/9

So, the relationship cannot be established

Hence, option c.
