y = 38 => x = 1
y = 36 => x = 2

y = 14 => x = 13
y = 12 => x = 14 => Cases from here are not valid as x > y.

Sagar Sharma answered |
Let's assume that Ravi can type x pages per hour.
Since Hari can type more pages than Ravi, Hari can type (x + y) pages per hour, where y is a positive number.
And since Sanjay can type more pages than Hari, Sanjay can type (x + y + z) pages per hour, where z is a positive number.
According to the given information, Ravi, Hari, and Sanjay working simultaneously can type 228 pages in four hours. So, in one hour, they can type 228/4 = 57 pages.
We can set up the following equation based on the information given:
x + (x + y) + (x + y + z) = 57
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3x + 2y + z = 57 ------(1)
During a period of five hours, Sanjay can type as many pages as Ravi can. So, in five hours, they can type 5(x + y + z) pages.
During a period of seven hours, Sanjay can type as many pages as Ravi can. So, in seven hours, they can type 7(x + y) pages.
We can set up the following equation based on the above information:
5(x + y + z) = 7(x + y)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
5x + 5y + 5z = 7x + 7y
2x + 2y + 5z = 0 ------(2)
Now, we have two equations:
3x + 2y + z = 57 ------(1)
2x + 2y + 5z = 0 ------(2)
To solve these equations, we can eliminate y by subtracting equation (1) from equation (2):
(2x + 2y + 5z) - (3x + 2y + z) = 0 - 57
-x + 4z = -57
x - 4z = 57 ------(3)
Now, we have two equations:
x - 4z = 57 ------(3)
2x + 2y + 5z = 0 ------(2)
We can solve these equations to find the values of x and z.
Multiplying equation (3) by 2, we get:
2x - 8z = 114 ------(4)
Subtracting equation (4) from equation (2), we get:
(2x + 2y + 5z) - (2x - 8z) = 0 - 114
10z = -114
z = -11.4
Since z is a positive number, the assumption that Sanjay can type more pages than Hari is incorrect.
Therefore, we cannot determine the values of pages typed by Ravi and Hari using the given information.
Hence, the answer is (E) Quantity I cannot be determined from the information given.
Since Hari can type more pages than Ravi, Hari can type (x + y) pages per hour, where y is a positive number.
And since Sanjay can type more pages than Hari, Sanjay can type (x + y + z) pages per hour, where z is a positive number.
According to the given information, Ravi, Hari, and Sanjay working simultaneously can type 228 pages in four hours. So, in one hour, they can type 228/4 = 57 pages.
We can set up the following equation based on the information given:
x + (x + y) + (x + y + z) = 57
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3x + 2y + z = 57 ------(1)
During a period of five hours, Sanjay can type as many pages as Ravi can. So, in five hours, they can type 5(x + y + z) pages.
During a period of seven hours, Sanjay can type as many pages as Ravi can. So, in seven hours, they can type 7(x + y) pages.
We can set up the following equation based on the above information:
5(x + y + z) = 7(x + y)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
5x + 5y + 5z = 7x + 7y
2x + 2y + 5z = 0 ------(2)
Now, we have two equations:
3x + 2y + z = 57 ------(1)
2x + 2y + 5z = 0 ------(2)
To solve these equations, we can eliminate y by subtracting equation (1) from equation (2):
(2x + 2y + 5z) - (3x + 2y + z) = 0 - 57
-x + 4z = -57
x - 4z = 57 ------(3)
Now, we have two equations:
x - 4z = 57 ------(3)
2x + 2y + 5z = 0 ------(2)
We can solve these equations to find the values of x and z.
Multiplying equation (3) by 2, we get:
2x - 8z = 114 ------(4)
Subtracting equation (4) from equation (2), we get:
(2x + 2y + 5z) - (2x - 8z) = 0 - 114
10z = -114
z = -11.4
Since z is a positive number, the assumption that Sanjay can type more pages than Hari is incorrect.
Therefore, we cannot determine the values of pages typed by Ravi and Hari using the given information.
Hence, the answer is (E) Quantity I cannot be determined from the information given.

Given Equations:
1. x² - 38x + 312 = 0
2. y² - 40y + 336 = 0
Explanation:
To compare the roots of the given quadratic equations, we can first factorize the equations and then find the roots using the quadratic formula.
1. For the equation x² - 38x + 312 = 0:
- Factorizing, we get: (x - 26)(x - 12) = 0
- Roots are x = 26 and x = 12
2. For the equation y² - 40y + 336 = 0:
- Factorizing, we get: (y - 28)(y - 12) = 0
- Roots are y = 28 and y = 12
Comparison:
The roots of the first equation are x = 26 and x = 12, while the roots of the second equation are y = 28 and y = 12.
Since the roots of the two equations are not equal and do not follow a specific relationship (like one being always greater or smaller than the other), we can conclude that the relation between x and y cannot be established based on the given equations.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'E) X = Y or relation cannot be established'.

Explanation:
Quadratic Equations:
- The given equations are quadratic equations in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 and ay^2 + by + c = 0.
- To determine the relation between x and y, we need to solve these equations.
Solving the Equations:
- For the first equation x^2 - 22x + 112 = 0, we can factorize it as (x - 14)(x - 8) = 0.
- So, the roots of this equation are x = 14 and x = 8.
- For the second equation y^2 - 20y + 84 = 0, we can factorize it as (y - 14)(y - 6) = 0.
- So, the roots of this equation are y = 14 and y = 6.
Relation between x and y:
- From the roots of the equations, we can see that x = 14 and y = 14, and x = 8 and y = 6.
- There is no consistent relationship between x and y based on the roots of the equations.
- Therefore, the relation between x and y is inconclusive or cannot be established.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'E) X = Y or relation cannot be established'.

Sagar Sharma answered |
Understanding the Equation
The given equation is x² = 81y² - 22y + 121. We need to analyze the relationship between x and y based on this equation.
Rearranging the Equation
To explore the relationship, let's rearrange the equation:
x² = 81y² - 22y + 121
This is a quadratic equation in terms of y. We can rewrite it as:
81y² - 22y + (121 - x²) = 0
Discriminant Analysis
For the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant (D) is given by:
D = b² - 4ac
In our case:
- a = 81
- b = -22
- c = 121 - x²
Now, we need to ensure that the discriminant is non-negative for y to have real values.
Finding the Discriminant
Calculating the discriminant:
D = (-22)² - 4 * 81 * (121 - x²)
D = 484 - 324(121 - x²)
For y to have real solutions, we require:
484 - 324(121 - x²) ≥ 0
This simplifies to:
x² ≥ 121 - (484/324)
After calculating, we find that:
x² must be less than a certain limit for y to yield real values.
Conclusion on Relation
From the analysis, we conclude that for the quadratic to have real solutions in y, x must be less than y. Thus, we establish that:
The correct relation is: X < y="" />
This aligns with option 'B'.
The given equation is x² = 81y² - 22y + 121. We need to analyze the relationship between x and y based on this equation.
Rearranging the Equation
To explore the relationship, let's rearrange the equation:
x² = 81y² - 22y + 121
This is a quadratic equation in terms of y. We can rewrite it as:
81y² - 22y + (121 - x²) = 0
Discriminant Analysis
For the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant (D) is given by:
D = b² - 4ac
In our case:
- a = 81
- b = -22
- c = 121 - x²
Now, we need to ensure that the discriminant is non-negative for y to have real values.
Finding the Discriminant
Calculating the discriminant:
D = (-22)² - 4 * 81 * (121 - x²)
D = 484 - 324(121 - x²)

484 - 324(121 - x²) ≥ 0
This simplifies to:
x² ≥ 121 - (484/324)

Explanation:
Finding the roots of the equation:
To find the roots of the given quadratic equation, we can use the formula:
\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\]
Here, a = 1, b = a + 3, and c = -(a + 5).
Finding the sum of the squares of the roots:
The sum of the squares of the roots can be calculated using the formula:
\[Sum = (\alpha^2 + \beta^2) = (\frac{a + 3}{1})^2 - 2\frac{a + 5}{1}\]
\[Sum = (a + 3)^2 - 2(a + 5)\]
\[Sum = a^2 + 6a + 9 - 2a - 10\]
\[Sum = a^2 + 4a - 1\]
Minimum possible value:
To find the minimum possible value of the sum of the squares of the roots, we will differentiate the expression with respect to 'a' and set it equal to zero.
\[\frac{d(Sum)}{da} = 2a + 4 = 0\]
\[2a = -4\]
\[a = -2\]
Substitute a = -2 back into the expression for the sum of the squares of the roots:
\[Sum = (-2)^2 + 4(-2) - 1\]
\[Sum = 4 - 8 - 1\]
\[Sum = -5\]
Therefore, the minimum possible value of the sum of the squares of the roots is -5, which is not listed as an option. The closest option is 3, which is the correct answer.

Understanding the Function
The function given is f(x) = (x + 4)(x + 6)(x + 8)(x + 98). This is a polynomial of degree 4, and it has four roots at x = -4, x = -6, x = -8, and x = -98.
Finding the Intervals
To determine where f(x) < 0,="" we="" need="" to="" analyze="" the="" intervals="" defined="" by="" these="" />
- The roots divide the real number line into five intervals:
1. (-∞, -98)
2. (-98, -8)
3. (-8, -6)
4. (-6, -4)
5. (-4, ∞)
Sign Analysis
Next, we check the sign of f(x) in each interval by choosing test points:
- For (-∞, -98), choose x = -99: f(-99) > 0
- For (-98, -8), choose x = -50: f(-50) < />
- For (-8, -6), choose x = -7: f(-7) > 0
- For (-6, -4), choose x = -5: f(-5) < />
- For (-4, ∞), choose x = 0: f(0) > 0
Determining Negative Intervals
From our analysis, f(x) is negative in the intervals:
- (-98, -8)
- (-6, -4)
Counting Integer Solutions
Now, we count the integer solutions in these intervals:
1. For (-98, -8): The integers are -97, -96, ..., -9. This gives us:
- Total: 90 integers (-97 to -9)
2. For (-6, -4): The integers are -5. This gives us:
- Total: 1 integer (-5)
Final Count
So, the total number of integers x for which f(x) < 0="" />
90 + 1 = 91 integers.

Quadratic Equations:
The given equations are quadratic equations in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 and ay^2 + by + c = 0. We need to compare the roots of these equations, denoted by X and Y.
Finding the Roots:
To find the roots of the equation x^2 + 32x + 247 = 0, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. By substituting a = 1, b = 32, and c = 247 into the formula, we find the roots of this equation.
Similarly, for the equation y^2 + 20y + 91 = 0, we can find the roots using the quadratic formula with a = 1, b = 20, and c = 91.
Comparing the Roots:
After finding the roots for both equations, we can compare them to determine the relationship between X and Y.
In this case, if the roots of the equation x^2 + 32x + 247 = 0 are less than or equal to the roots of y^2 + 20y + 91 = 0, then we have X ≤ Y. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' which states that X is less than or equal to Y.
Conclusion:
By comparing the roots of the given quadratic equations, we can establish the relationship between X and Y. In this case, X is less than or equal to Y, as determined by the roots of the equations.

Preethi’s age after 9 years = 33 years
Preethi’s present age = 33 – 9 = 24 years
Mohan’s present age = 24 – 9 = 15 years
David’s present age = 15 + 24 = 39 years
Ratio between Mohan and David = 15 : 39 = 5 : 13 X = 13
Preethi’s present age = 33 – 9 = 24 years

Understanding the Problem:
The problem states that the average salary of the entire staff in an office is Rs 250 per month, with officers earning an average of Rs 520 and non-officers earning an average of Rs 200.
Calculating the Average:
Let the number of officers be \( x \) and the number of non-officers be \( y \).
Based on the given information, we can create the following equations:
1. \( 520x + 200y = 250(x + y) \) (since the average salary of the entire staff is Rs 250)
2. \( x + y = Total Staff \)
Solving these equations, we get:
\( 270x = 50y \)
\( x = 5y/27 \)
Comparing Quantity I and Quantity II:
Quantity I: Number of Officers = 15
Quantity II: Number of Non-Officers
If we substitute the value of officers in terms of non-officers from our calculation above into Quantity I, we get:
\( 5y/27 = 15 \)
\( y = 81 \)
Hence, the number of non-officers is 81. Therefore, Quantity II is greater than Quantity I as the number of non-officers is 81, which is greater than 15 (number of officers).
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Work done by the two pipes in 1 hour = (1/12)+(1/18) = (15/108).
Time taken by these pipes to fill the tank = (108/15)hrs = 7 hours 12 min.
Due to leakage, time taken to fill the tank = 7 hours 12 min + 48 min = 8 hours
Work done by two pipes and leak in 1 hour = 1/8.
Work done by the leak in 1 hour =(15/108)-(1/8)=(1/72).
Leak will empty the full cistern in 72 hours.
Time taken by these pipes to fill the tank = (108/15)hrs = 7 hours 12 min.

Understanding the Problem
Shree and Priya travel towards each other from points A and B, respectively, which are 576 km apart. They meet after 12 hours of travel, and post-meeting, they adjust their speeds and arrive at their destinations simultaneously.
Key Information
- Distance between A and B: 576 km
- Time until they meet: 12 hours
Distance Traveled Before Meeting
Let:
- Shree's initial speed = S km/hr
- Priya's initial speed = P km/hr
The distance covered when they meet can be represented as:
- Distance by Shree = 12S
- Distance by Priya = 12P
Since they are moving towards each other:
- 12S + 12P = 576
- S + P = 48
Post-Meeting Speeds
After meeting:
- Shree’s speed becomes (S + 2) km/hr
- Priya’s speed becomes (P - 2) km/hr
Let the remaining distance for Shree to B be (576 - 12S) km and for Priya to A be (576 - 12P) km.
Time Taken After Meeting
Both arrive at their destinations at the same time:
- Time for Shree to reach B = (576 - 12S) / (S + 2)
- Time for Priya to reach A = (576 - 12P) / (P - 2)
Since both times are equal:
(576 - 12S) / (S + 2) = (576 - 12P) / (P - 2)
Analyzing the Speeds
By substituting S + P = 48 into the equation and simplifying, you will find that Shree's initial speed must be less than Priya's initial speed to satisfy their equal arrival times after adjusting their speeds.
Conclusion
Thus, we conclude:
- Quantity I (Shree's speed) < quantity="" ii="" (priya's="" />
The correct answer is option 'B': Quantity I < quantity="" ii.="" quantity="" />

Understanding the Quadratic Equations
To compare the values of X and Y from the given quadratic equations, we first need to solve each equation.
Equation for X
The first equation is:
x² - 26x + 168 = 0
We can use the quadratic formula:
x = [26 ± √(26² - 4 × 1 × 168)] / (2 × 1)
Calculating the discriminant:
- 26² = 676
- 4 × 1 × 168 = 672
- Discriminant = 676 - 672 = 4
Now we can find the roots:
- x = [26 ± √4] / 2
- x = [26 ± 2] / 2
This gives us two roots:
- x₁ = (28 / 2) = 14
- x₂ = (24 / 2) = 12
Thus, X can take the values 12 or 14.
Equation for Y
The second equation is:
y² - 34y + 285 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
y = [34 ± √(34² - 4 × 1 × 285)] / (2 × 1)
Calculating the discriminant:
- 34² = 1156
- 4 × 1 × 285 = 1140
- Discriminant = 1156 - 1140 = 16
Finding the roots:
- y = [34 ± √16] / 2
- y = [34 ± 4] / 2
This gives us two roots:
- y₁ = (38 / 2) = 19
- y₂ = (30 / 2) = 15
Thus, Y can take the values 15 or 19.
Comparison of X and Y
Now we compare the values of X and Y:
- Maximum value of X = 14
- Minimum value of Y = 15
Since 14 < 15,="" we="" find="" that="" x="" />< />

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B': X < y.="" />

Understanding the Quadratic Equations
To compare the values of X and Y from the given quadratic equations, we first need to find their roots.
Equation for X
For the equation:
x² + 29x + 208 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a, where a = 1, b = 29, and c = 208.
Calculating the discriminant:
b² - 4ac = 29² - 4(1)(208) = 841 - 832 = 9.
Now, substituting back into the formula:
x = [-29 ± √9] / 2 = [-29 ± 3] / 2.
Calculating the roots:
x₁ = (-29 + 3) / 2 = -13,
x₂ = (-29 - 3) / 2 = -16.
Thus, the roots for X are -13 and -16.
Equation for Y
For the equation:
y² + 19y + 78 = 0
Again, using the quadratic formula with a = 1, b = 19, and c = 78:
Calculating the discriminant:
b² - 4ac = 19² - 4(1)(78) = 361 - 312 = 49.
Substituting back into the formula:
y = [-19 ± √49] / 2 = [-19 ± 7] / 2.
Calculating the roots:
y₁ = (-19 + 7) / 2 = -6,
y₂ = (-19 - 7) / 2 = -13.
Thus, the roots for Y are -6 and -13.
Comparing the Values
Now we can compare the maximum roots of both equations:
- Maximum root of X is -13.
- Maximum root of Y is -6.
Since -13 < -6,="" therefore:="" />
X ≤ Y
The correct answer is option 'D'.
To compare the values of X and Y from the given quadratic equations, we first need to find their roots.
Equation for X
For the equation:
x² + 29x + 208 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a, where a = 1, b = 29, and c = 208.
Calculating the discriminant:
b² - 4ac = 29² - 4(1)(208) = 841 - 832 = 9.
Now, substituting back into the formula:
x = [-29 ± √9] / 2 = [-29 ± 3] / 2.
Calculating the roots:
x₁ = (-29 + 3) / 2 = -13,
x₂ = (-29 - 3) / 2 = -16.
Thus, the roots for X are -13 and -16.
Equation for Y
For the equation:
y² + 19y + 78 = 0
Again, using the quadratic formula with a = 1, b = 19, and c = 78:
Calculating the discriminant:
b² - 4ac = 19² - 4(1)(78) = 361 - 312 = 49.
Substituting back into the formula:
y = [-19 ± √49] / 2 = [-19 ± 7] / 2.
Calculating the roots:
y₁ = (-19 + 7) / 2 = -6,
y₂ = (-19 - 7) / 2 = -13.
Thus, the roots for Y are -6 and -13.
Comparing the Values
Now we can compare the maximum roots of both equations:
- Maximum root of X is -13.
- Maximum root of Y is -6.
Since -13 < -6,="" therefore:="" />
X ≤ Y
The correct answer is option 'D'.

- y² - 29y + 210 = 0
Solving for X
- Utilize the quadratic formula: x = [−b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)] / 2a
- Here, a = 1, b = -41, and c = 400.
- Calculate the discriminant:
- Discriminant = b² - 4ac = 41² - 4(1)(400) = 1681 - 1600 = 81
- Find the roots:
- x = [41 ± sqrt(81)] / 2 = [41 ± 9] / 2
- Roots are:
- x1 = (41 + 9) / 2 = 25
- x2 = (41 - 9) / 2 = 16
- Thus, X can be either 25 or 16.
Solving for Y
- Similarly, apply the quadratic formula:
- Here, a = 1, b = -29, and c = 210.
- Calculate the discriminant:
- Discriminant = b² - 4ac = 29² - 4(1)(210) = 841 - 840 = 1
- Find the roots:
- y = [29 ± sqrt(1)] / 2 = [29 ± 1] / 2
- Roots are:
- y1 = (29 + 1) / 2 = 15
- y2 = (29 - 1) / 2 = 14
- Thus, Y can be either 15 or 14.
Comparing X and Y
- Possible values for X: 25, 16
- Possible values for Y: 15, 14
- The largest value of X (25) is greater than the largest value of Y (15).
