 Quadratic Equation for SBI PO Prelims
Answer and Explanation
2y (y – 8) – 9 (y – 8) = 0
1. Answer: B
(2y – 9) (y – 8) = 0
x – 22x + 105 = 0
2

y = 4.5, 8
x – 15x – 7x + 105 = 0
2

Hence, x < y
x(x – 15) – 7(x – 15) = 0
3. Answer: C
(x – 7)(x – 15) = 0
I) x2 – 13x – 198 = 0
x = 7, 15
(x – 22) (x + 9) = 0
y – 12y + 35 = 0
2

x = 22, -9
y – 7y – 5y + 35 = 0
2

II) 2y2 + 42y + 220 = 0

y(y – 7) – 5(y – 7) = 0
2y2 + 20y + 22y + 220 = 0
(y – 5)(y – 7) = 0
2y (y + 10) + 22 (y + 10) = 0
y = 5, 7
(2y + 22) (y + 10) = 0
x≥y
y = -11, -10
2.Answer: A
Hence x > y
I) 4x2 – 25x + 36 = 0
4.Answer: A
4x2 – 16x – 9x + 36 = 0

4x (x – 4) – 9 (x – 4) = 0

(4x – 9) (x – 4) = 0

x = 2.25, 4

II) 2y2 – 25y + 72 = 0

2y2 – 16y – 9y + 72 = 0

I) 5x2– 3x – 36 = 0

5x2– 15x + 12x – 36 = 0

5x (x – 3) + 12 (x – 3) = 0

(5x + 12) (x – 3) = 0

x = -12/5, 3 = -2.4, 3

II) 3y2 + 30y + 72 = 0

3y2 + 18y + 12y + 72 = 0

3y (y + 6) + 12 (y + 6) = 0

(3y + 12) (y + 6) = 0
5. Answer: E
y = -4, -6
I) 3x2 – 3x – 36 = 0
x>y
3x2 – 12x + 9x – 36 = 0
7. Answer: E
3x (x – 4) + 9 (x – 4) = 0
I. 6x² – 19x + 15 = 0
(3x + 9) (x – 4) = 0
=> 6x2 – 9x – 10x + 15 = 0
x = -3, 4
=> 3x(2x – 3) – 5(2x – 3) = 0
II) 4y2 + 20y + 24 = 0
=> (3x – 5)(2x – 3) = 0
4y2 + 8y + 12y + 24 = 0
=> x = 5/3, 3/2
4y (y + 2) + 12 (y + 2) = 0
II. 5y² – 34y + 24 = 0
(4y + 12) (y + 2) = 0
=> 5y2 – 30y – 4y + 24 = 0
y = -3, -2
=> 5y(y – 6) – 4(y – 6) = 0
Hence the relationship cannot be determined.
=> (5y – 4)(y – 6) = 0
6. Answer: C
=> y = 4/5, 6
