Answers :

1) Answer: D

2x2 + 18x + 6x 54 =0

2x(x + 9) 6 (x + 9) = 0

(2x 6) (x + 9) = 0

Roots, x = – 9, -3

3y2 – 21y + 36 = 0

3y2 – 12y – 9y + 36 = 0

3y (y – 4) – 9(y- 4) = 0

(3y – 9) (y – 4) = 0

Roots, y =  4, 3

Hence, x < y


2) Answer: D

3x2 + 12x – 63 = 0

3x2 + 21x – 9x – 63 = 0

3x(x + 7) – 9(x + 7) = 0

(x + 7) (3x – 9) = 0

Roots, x = -7, 3

y2 – 16y + 63 = 0

y2 – 9y – 7y + 63 = 0

y(y – 9) – 7(y – 9) = 0

(y – 9) (y – 7) = 0

y = 9, 7

Hence, x < y


3) Answer: C

x2 + 4x + 4 = 9

x2 + 4x – 5 = 0

x2 + 5x – x – 5 = 0

x(x + 5) – 1(x + 5) =0

(x + 5) (x – 1) = 0

Roots, x= -5, 1

y2 = 25

Roots, y = 5, – 5

Hence, relationship cannot be determined.


4) Answer: B

1/x2 × √x = 1/(2)3

x-2 × x1/2 = 1/(√4)3

x-3/2 = 1/(41/2)3

x-3/2 = 1/(4)3/2

x-3/2 = (4)-3/2

x = 4

 y– 7y + 12 = 0

y2 – 4y – 3y + 12 = 0

y(y – 4) – 3 (y – 4) =0

(y – 4)(y – 3) = 0

Roots, y = 4, 3

Hence, x ≥ y


5) Answer: C

x = √841

x = 29

y2 = 961

y = +31, – 31

Hence, relationship can’t be determined


6) Answer: A

3 + 5 = 8 (sum of prime numbers)

5 + 7 = 12

7 + 11 = 18

11 + 13 = 24

13 + 17 = 30

Therefore, 21 + 18 = 39


7) Answer: B

192 – 19 = 342

172 – 17 = 272

152 – 15 = 210

132 – 13 = 156

112 – 11 = 110


8) Answer: C

1 + 3/2 = 5/2

5/2 + 5/2 = 5

5 + 7/2 = 17/2

17/2 + 9/2 = 13

13 + 11/2 = 37/2

37/2 + 13/2 = 25


9) Answer: C

(3 × 1) = 3

(3 × 1.5) = 4.5

(4.5 × 2.5) = 11.25

(11.25 × 4) = 45

(45 × 6) = 270

(270 × 8.5) = 2295


10) Answer: B
