49. I. x2−6x+9=0 II. y2−11y+24=0

50. I. x² - 16 = 0 II. y² - 9y + 20 = 0

Answer Key with Detailed Solution

Solution (1-5)
4. B
1. E
I. x2 - 5x + 4 = 0
or, x2 – 4x – x + 4 = 0
or, x(x - 4) – 1(x -4) = 0
or, (x -1) (x - 4) = 0
x = 1, 4
Il.y2 + 11y - 12= 0
or, y2 + 12y – y -12 = 0
or, y(y + 12) – 1(y + 12) = 0 or, (y - 1) (y + 12) = 0
2. C
y = 1, -12
Therefore, x ≥ y
5. A
x2 – 9x + 20 = 0
x2 – 5x -4x +20 = 0
x(x - 5) – 4 (x - 5) = 0
(x - 5) (x - 4) = 0
x = 5 or 4
3. B II. y2 – 13y + 42 = 0
y2 – 7y – 6y + 42 = 0
y(y - 7) – 6 (y - 7) = 0
(y - 7) (y - 6) = 0
Y = 6 (or) 7

Clearly, x < y p≥q

Solution (6-10) 10. E
6. A (x+2)(x+3) = 0
from both equation X=-2,-3
x=7/12, y=16/3 (y+1)(y+2) = 0
y>x Y=-1,-2
7. E so, x≤y
x= (+11, -11) y= 11 Solution (11-15)
so clearly x≤y 11. D
8. A I. x² + (7+5)x + 35 = 0
I. x2 + x – 20 = 0 x² + 7x + 5x + 35 =0

or, x + 5x – 4x – 20 = 0 x (x+7) +5 (x+7)=0
or, x(x + 5) –4(x + 5) = 0 (x+7) (x+5) = 0
or, (x – 4) (x + 5) = 0 x= -7, x=-5
x = 4, – 5 II. y² + (15+3) +45=0
II. 2y2 – 10y – 9y + 45 = 0 y² + 15y + 3y + 45=0
or, 2y(y – 5) –9(y – 5) = 0 y (y+15)+3 (y+15)=0
or, (y – 5) (2y – 9) = 0 (y+15) (y+3) = 0
y = 5, 9/2 y= -15, y=-3
x<y 12. A
9. B eqn(I) × 5 - eqn(II) × 2
I. p2 - 12p + 35 = 0 (10x + 25y = 30) – (10x ± 22y = 18) =
or p2 - 5p - 7p + 35 = 0 3y = 12
or p(p - 5) - 7(p - 5) = 0 y = 4 and x = -7
or (p - 7) (p - 5) = 0 y>x
p = 5, 7 13. D
II. q2 - 25 = 0 I. x2 – 54 = 3x
or, q2 = 25 Or, x2 – 9x + 6x – 54 = 0
q = +5 Or, x (x - 9) +6 (x - 9) = 0

or (y + 3) (y + 4) = 0 46. C

y = -3, -4
x>y
43. A
I. x2 - x + 6x -6 = 0
or x(x - 1) + 6(x - 1) = 0
or (x - 1) (x + 6) = 0
x = 1, -6 47. A

II. 2y2 - 6y - 5y + 15 = 0
