Gives x = -3, 2/3

3y2 – 11y + 6 = 0
3y2 – 9y – 2y + 6 = 0
Gives y = 2/3, 3

286) A
5x2 – 36x – 32 = 0
5x2 + 4x – 40x – 32 = 0
Gives x = -4/5, 8
3y2 + 16y + 20 = 0
3y2 + 6y + 10y + 20 = 0
Gives y = -10/3, -2

287) E
3x2 – (6 + 2√3)x + 4√3 = 0
(3x2 – 6x) – (2√3x – 4√3) = 0
3x (x- 2) – 2√3 (x – 2) = 0,
So x = 2, 2√3/3 (1.15)
3y2 – (2 + 3√3)y + 2√3 = 0
(3y2 – 2y) – (3√3y – 2√3) = 0

(2x2 + 4x) + (√2x + 2√2) = 0
2x (x + 2) + √2 (x + 2) = 0
So x = -2, -√2/2 (-0.7)
y2 – (1 + 3√3)y + 3√3 = 0
(y2 – y) – (3√3y – 3√3) = 0
y (y – 1) – 3√3 (y – 1) = 0
So, y = 1, 3√3 (5.2)

289) B
x2 + (3 + 2√2)x + 6√2 = 0
(x2 + 3x) + (2√2x + 6√2) = 0
x (x + 3) + 2√2 (x + 3) = 0
So x = -3, -2√2
5y2 – (1 + 5√2)y + √2 = 0
(5y2 – y) – (5√2y – √2) = 0
y (5y – 1) – 3√2 (5y – 1) = 0

500 Quadratic Equations for IBPS RRB/PO/Clerk

4y2 – 13y – 12 = 0
4y2 – 16y + 3y – 12 = 0
Gives y = -3/4, 4

297) E
2x2 – 6x – √3x + 3√3 = 0
2x (x- 3) – √3 (x – 3) = 0,
So x = 3, √3/2 (0.7)
3y2 – 9y – √3y + 3√3 = 0
3y (y – 3) – √3 (y – 3) = 0
So x = 3, √3/3 (0.6)

298) E

2x (x – 1) – 2√5 (x – 1) = 0
So x = 1, √5 (2.2)
4y2 – 6y – 2√2y + 3√2 = 0
2y (2y – 3) – √2 (2y – 3) = 0
So, y = 3/2, 1/√2 (0.7)

299) A
2x2 – 15√3x + 84 = 0
Now multiply 2 and 84 = 168
we have √3 in equation, so divide, 168/3 = 56
Now make factors so as by multiply you get 56, and by addition or subtraction you get –15
we have factors (-8) and (-7)
So 2x2 – 15√3x + 84 = 0
gives
2x2 – 8√3x – 7√3x + 84 = 0
2x (x – 4√3) – 7√3 (x – 4√3x) = 0
So x = 3.5√3, 4√3
3y2 – 2y – 8 = 0
3y2 – 6y + 4y – 8 = 0
So y = -4/3, 1
Plot on number line
-4/3……1….. 3.5√3….. 4√3

300) A
Divide both equations by 2
8x2 + 10x + 3 = 0
8x2 + 4x + 6x + 3 = 0
Gives x = -1/2, -3/4
5y2 + 19y + 12 = 0
5y2 + 15y + 4y + 12 = 0
Gives y = -4, -4/5

2x2 – 15√3x + 84 = 0
Now multiply 2 and 84 = 168
we have √3 in equation, so divide, 168/3 = 56
Now make factors so as by multiply you get 56, and by addition or subtraction you get –15
we have factors (-8) and (-7)
So 2x2 – 15√3x + 84 = 0
gives
2x2 – 8√3x – 7√3x + 84 = 0
2x (x – 4√3) – 7√3 (x – 4√3x) = 0
So x = 7√3/2, 4√3

3y2 – 10√3y + 9 = 0
Multiply 3 and 9 = 27
we have √3 in equation, so divide, 27/3 = 9
Now make factors so as by multiply you get 9, and by addition or subtraction you get –10
we have factors (-9) and (-1)
So 3y2 – 10√3y + 9 = 0
gives
3y2 – 9√3y – √3y + 9 = 0
3x (x – 3√3) – √3 (x – 3√3x) = 0

2x2 – (8+√3)x + 4√3 = 0
By multiplying we have to 2*4√3 = 8√3 and by adding/subtracting we have to get – (8+√3)
So factors are -8 and -√3
So 2x2 – (8+√3)x + 4√3 = 0
Gives
2x2 – 8x – √3x + 4√3 = 0
2x(x- 4) – √3(x – 4) = 0
So x = 4, √3/2
NEXT
3y2 – (6+2√3)y + 4√3 = 0
By multiplying we have to 3*4√3 = 12√3 and by adding/subtracting we have to get –(6+2√3)
So factors are -6 and -2√3
So 3y2 – (6+2√3)y + 4√3 = 0
Gives
3y2 – 6y – 2√3y + 4√3 = 0
3y(y- 2) – 2√3(y – 2) = 0

=> y =16,17
So, x ≤ y
Hence, option B

Solving I and II, we get
x = 13 and y =12
So, x > y. Hence, option C

463) E
I. x2-2x -15 =0

A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined

471) A) If x > y
Solution:
20x2 – 31x + 12 = 0
20x2 – 16x – 15x + 12 = 0
So x = 3/4, 4/5
6y2 – 7y + 2 = 0
6y2 – 3y – 4y + 2 = 0
So y = 1/2, 2/3
Put on number line
1/2… 2/3… 3/4… 4/5

472) B) If x < y
Solution:
3x2 + 22 x + 24 = 0
3x2 + 18x + 4x + 24 = 0
So x = -4/3, -6
3y2 – 10y + 3 = 0
3y2 – 9y – y + 3 = 0
So y = 1/3, 3
Put on number line
-6… -4/3… 1/3… 3

473) E) If x = y or relation cannot be established

Solution:
6x2 – x – 2 = 0
6x2 + 3x – 4x – 2 = 0
So x = -1/2, 2/3
5y2 – 18y + 9 = 0
5y2 – 15y – 3y + 9 = 0
So y = 3/5, 3
