Quadratic Equations Pdf Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps po prelims 2024 2025

Question :1

If one root of the equation $ax^2$ + bx + c = 0 is three times the other, then ______

Answer: (a)

Let α, 3α are the roots.

α + 3α = ${-b}/a$

⇒ 4α = ${-b}/a$

⇒ α = ${- b}/{4a}$ ...(1)

α × 3α - $c/a ⇒ 3a^2 - c/a$

${3b^2}/{16a^2}= c/a$ [by (1)]

$3b^2$ = 16ac.

Question :2

Two numbers whose sum is 6 and the absolute value of whose difference is 8 are the roots of the equation

Answer: (b)

Let α and β are the roots

α + β = 6

α – β = 8

2α = 14

α = 7

β = –1

α + β = 6, α β = –7

The quadratic equation is $x^2$ – 6x – 7 = 0

Question :3

  1. $x^2$ - 32= 112
  2. $y - √169$ = 0

Answer: (a)

Question :4

If α and β are the roots of the quadratic equation $ax^2$ + bx c + = 0 , then the value of $α^2/β + β^2/α$ is

Answer: (b)

Here, α + β = -$b/a$ and αβ = $c/a$

Thus, $α^2/β + β^2/α = {α^3 + β^3}/{αβ}$

= ${(α + β) (α^2 - α β + β^2)}/{αβ}$ …(1)

Now, $(α^2 + β^2 - αβ) = [(α + β)^2 - 2αβ - αβ]$

= $[(α + β)^2 - 3αβ]$

Hence (1) becomes

⇒ ${(α + β)[(α + β)^2 - 3αβ)]}/{αβ} = {{-b}/a[b^2/a^2 - {3c}/a]}/{c/a}$

= ${-b}/c [{b^2 - 3ac}/a^2] = {3abc - b^3}/{a^2c}$

Question :5

If p and q are the roots of the equation $x^2 – px + q$ = 0, then what are the values of p and q respectively?

Answer: (c)
