Read the following quadric equation carefully and answer the questions given below.
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Note: Roots of the equation 1 are ‘x’ and ‘y’ and the roots of equation 2 are ‘x’ and ‘y – x’ .
Find the value of (d-8)y
Correct Answer :
256
Solution :
Given two quadratic equations:
Equation 1:
The roots of Equation 1 are given as x and y. Using the relation between roots and coefficients of a quadratic equation:
Sum of roots:
(Equation A)
Product of roots:
(Equation B)
Equation 2:
The roots of Equation 2 are given as x and y - x. Using the relation between roots and coefficients:
Sum of roots:
Simplifying this, we get:
Now, substitute the value of y in Equation A:
Now, substitute the values of x and y into Equation B to find d:
We need to find the value of:
Substituting d = 12 and y = 4:
Thus, the correct answer is 256.
