Quadratic equation
I. 2p2 - 3p – 2 = 0 II. 2q2 - 11q + 15 = 0
Question
In each question two equations are provided. On the basis of these you have to find out the relation between p and q. Give answer.
I. 2p
2
- 3p – 2 = 0 II. 2q
2
- 11q + 15 = 0
A
if p = q
Correct Answer
Incorrect Answer
B
if p > q
Correct Answer
Incorrect Answer
C
if q > p
Correct Answer
Incorrect Answer
D
if p ≥ q
Correct Answer
Incorrect Answer
E
if q ≥ p
Correct Answer
Incorrect Answer
Solution
I. 2p
2
- 3p – 2 = 0,
(2p + 1)( p - 2) = 0
p = - (1/2) or 2,
II. 2q
2
- 11q + 15 = 0
(2q - 5) (q - 3) = 0,
q = (5/2) or 3;
Hence, q > p.
Alternate Method:
if signs of quadratic equation is -ve and -ve respectively then the roots of equation will be -ve and +ve. (note: -ve sign will come in smaller root)
So, roots of first equation = p = -1/2, 2
if signs of quadratic equation is -ve and +ve respectively then the roots of equation will be +ve and +ve.
So, roots of second equation = q = 5/2, 3
After comparing roots of quadratic eqution we can conclude that q > p.
