In the following question, two equations are given. On their basis you have to determine the relation between x and y and then give answer I. 3x^2 – 7x + 2 = 0 II. 2y^2 – 11y + 15 = 0

A. x < y
B. x > y
C. x ≤ y
D. x ≥ y

A. x < y

Equation I
3x² – 7x + 2 = 0
3x²-6x-x+2=0
3x (x-2)-1(x-2)=0
(3x -1)(x – 2) = 0

3x -1 = 0
3x =1
x = 1/3 , x-2=0
x = 2

Equation II
2y² -11y +15 = 0
2y² – 6y – 5y +15 = 0
2y (y-3)-5(y-3)=0
(2y- 5)(y-3)= 0
(2y-5)=0
y = 5/2
Also (y – 3) = 0
y=3

Now comparing x and y

x = 1/3 is smaller than 5/2 and 3
x= 2 is smaller than 3 and 5/2

Thus we see that x is smaller than y

x<y

In the following question, one or two equation(s) is/are given. On their basis you have to determine the relation between x and y and then give answer. I. x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0 II. 2y^2 = 5y

A. x < y
B. x > y
C. x ≤ y
D. x = y

A. x < y

We will separately solve both equations

Equation 1:
x²+3x+2=0
x²+2x+x+2=0
x (x + 2)+1 (x +2)= 0
(x + 2) * (x + 1)= 0
x=-2 , x=-1

Equation 2:
2y² = 5y
2y² – 5y = 0
2y * (y – 5/2) = 0
y=0 , y= 5/2

Both values of y are positive while both values of x are negative
x<y

A candidate, appearing for an examination, was asked to find 3/14 of a certain number but mistakenly, he found 3/4 of it. When he cross checked his answer, he found his answer was 150 more than the correct answer. Which number was given in the examination for this calculation?

A. 160
B. 180
C. 240
D. 280

D. 280

Let the required number be x
So, as per the question, we have
3x/4 – 3x/14 = 150
(21x-6x)/28 = 150
x = (150*28)/15
x = 280

Thus, the given number is 280

If Asif is standing in a queue in such a way that he is sixth in the queue from either side, then how many people are there in the queue?

A. 11
B. 12
C. 9
D. 14

A. 11

Let, the five people from one side be A,B,C,D,E

and the five people from other side be V,W,X,Y,Z

then the queue will be

A, B, C, D, E, Asif, V, W, X, Y, Z

therefore, 11 people are there in the queue.
