Quantitative Aptitude Quiz for IBPS | SBI – Set 219

Directions (1-5): In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give
answer. If
1) x > y
2) x >=y
3) x < y
4) x <= y
5) x = y or the relationship can not be
established

1) I) x2 + 5x + 6 = 0

II) y2 + 3y + 2 = 0

Answer 4) x <= y
x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
x2 + 2x + 3x + 6 = 0
x (x + 2) + 3 (x + 2) = 0
(x + 3) (x + 2) = 0
x = –3 or –2
y2 + 3y + 2 = 0
y2 + 2y + y + 2 = 0
y (y + 2) + 1 (y + 2) = 0
(y + 1) (y + 2) = 0
y = –1 or – 2
= x <= y

2) I) x2 – 10x + 24 = 0

II) y2 – 9y + 20 = 0

Answer 2)x >=y
I. x2 – 10x + 24 = 0
x2 – 6x – 4x + 24 = 0
x (x – 6) – 4 (x – 6) = 0
(x – 4) (x – 6) = 0
x = 4 or 6
II. y2 – 9y + 20 = 0
y2 – 5y – 4y + 20 = 0
y (y – 5) – 4 (y – 5) = 0
(y – 4) (y – 5) = 0
y = 4 or 5
x >= y

3) I) (x)2 = 961

II) y = under root 961

Answer 4) x <= y

4) I) x2 – 72 = x

II) y2 = 64

Click to View Answer
Answer 2) x >=y
I. x2 – x – 72 = 0
x2 – 9x + 8x – 72 = 0
x(x – 9) + 8 (x – 9) = 0
(x + 8) (x – 9) = 0
x = –8 or 9
II. y2 = 64
y = ±8

5)I)x2 – 463 = 321

II)y2 – 421 = 308

Answer 5) x = y or the relationship can not be
established
I. x2 = 463 + 321 = 784
x = ± 28
II. y2 = 308 + 421 = 729
y = ± 27

7)The length of a rectangle is 16 cm which is 2 cm more than the diameter of a circle. What is the area of circle ?
1) 112 sq cm
2) 176 sq cm
3) 161 sq cm
4) 132 sq cm
5) None of these

Answer 5) Diameter of circle = Length of rectangle = 2cm
= 16 – 2 = 14cm
= Radius of circle =
14/2 = 7cm
Hence, Area of circle = pi(7)2 =
22/7 × 7 × 7= 154
