Class 10 Maths Part 1 Practice Set 2.5 Chapter 2 Quadratic Equations Questions With Answers Maharashtra Board
Question 1.
 Fill in the gaps and complete.
 
 Answer:
 
Question 2.
 Find the value of discriminant.
 i. x2 + 7x – 1 = 0
 ii. 2y2 – 5y + 10 = 0
 iii. √2 x2 + 4x + 2√2 = 0
 Solution:
 i. x2 +7 x – 1 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
 a = 1, b = 7, c = -1
 ∴ b2– 4ac = (7)2 – 4 × 1 × (-1)
 = 49 + 4
 ∴ b2 – 4ac = 53
ii. 2y2 – 5y + 10 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ay2 + by + c = 0, we get
 a = 2, b = -5, c = 10
 ∴ b2 – 4ac = (-5)2 -4 × 2 × 10
 = 25 – 80
 ∴ b2 – 4ac = -55
iii. √2 x2 + 4x + 2√2 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ax + bx + c = 0, we get
 a = √2,b = 4, c = 2√2
 ∴ b2 – 4ac = (4)2 – 4 × √2 × 2√2
 = 16 – 16
 ∴ b2 – 4ac =0
Question 3.
 Determine the nature of roots of the following quadratic equations.
 i. x2 – 4x + 4 = 0
 ii. 2y2 – 7y + 2 = 0
 iii. m2 + 2m + 9 = 0
 Solution:
 i. x2 – 4x + 4= 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
 a = 1,b = -4, c = 4
 ∴ ∆ = b2 – 4ac
 = (- 4)2 – 4 × 1 × 4
 = 16 – 16
 ∴ ∆ = 0
 ∴ Roots of the given quadratic equation are real and equal.
ii. 2y2 – 7y + 2 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ay2 + by + c = 0, we get
 a = 2, b = -7, c = 2
 ∴ ∆ = b2 – 4ac
 = (- 7)2 – 4 × 2 × 2
 = 49 – 16
 ∴ ∆ = 33
 ∴ ∆ > 0
 ∴ Roots of the given quadratic equation are real and unequal.
iii. m2 + 2m + 9 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 am2 + bm + c = 0, we get
 a = 1,b = 2, c = 9
 ∴ ∆ = b2 – 4ac
 = (2)2 – 4 × 1 × 9
 = 4 – 36
 ∴ ∆ = -32
 ∴ ∆ < 0
 ∴ Roots of the given quadratic equation are not real.
Question 4.
 Form the quadratic equation from the roots given below.
 i. 0 and 4
 ii. 3 and -10
 iii. \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) , \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
 iv. 2 – √5, 2 + √5
 Solution:
 i. Let a = 0 and β = 4
 ∴ α + β = 0 + 4 = 4
 and α × β = 0 × 4 = 0
 ∴ The required quadratic equation is
 x2 – (α + β) x + αβ = 0
 ∴ x2 – 4x + 0 = 0
 ∴ x2 – 4x = 0
ii. Let α = 3 and β = -10
 ∴ α + β = 3 – 10 = -7
 and α × β = 3 × -10 = -30
 ∴ The required quadratic equation is
 x2 – (α + β)x + αβ = 0
 ∴ x2 – (-7) x + (-30) = 0


 ∴ The required quadratic equation is
 x2 – (α + β)x + αβ = 0
 ∴ x2 – 4x – 1 = 0
Question 5.
 Sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is double their product. Find k if equation is x2 – 4kx + k + 3 = 0.
 Solution:
 x2 – 4kx + k + 3 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
 a = 1, b = – 4k, c = k + 3
 Let α and β be the roots of the given quadratic equation.
 Then, α + β  = \(\frac { -b }{ a } \) and αβ = \(\frac { c }{ a } \)
 According to the given condition,
 
Question 6.
 α, β are roots of y2 – 2y – 7 = 0 find,
 i. α2 + β2
 ii. α3 + β3
 Solution:
 y2 – 2y – 7 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ay2 + by + c = 0, we get
 a = 1, b = -2, c = -7
 
Question 7.
 The roots of each of the following quadratic equations are real and equal, find k.
 i. 3y2 + ky + 12 = 0
 ii. kx (x-2) + 6 = 0
 Solution:
 i. 3y2 + kg + 12 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ay2 + by + c = 0, we get
 a = 3, b = k, c = 12
 ∴ ∆ = b2 – 4ac
 = (k)2 – 4 × 3 × 12
 = k2 – 144 = k2 – (12)2
 ∴ ∆ = (k + 12) (k – 12) …[∵ a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)]
 Since, the roots are real and equal.
 ∴ ∆ = 0
 ∴ (k + 12) (k – 12) = 0
 ∴ k + 12 = 0 or k – 12 = 0
 ∴ k = -12 or k = 12
ii. kx (x – 2) + 6 = 0
 ∴ kx2 – 2kx + 6 = 0
 Comparing the above equation with
 ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
 a = k, b = -2k, c = 6
 ∴ ∆ = b2 – 4ac
 = (-2k)2 – 4 × k × 6
 = 4k2 – 24k
 ∴ ∆ = 4k (k – 6)
 Since, the roots are real and equal.
 ∴ ∆ = 0
 ∴ 4k (k – 6) = 0
 ∴ k(k – 6) = 0
 ∴ k = 0 or k – 6 = 0
 But, if k = 0 then quadratic coefficient becomes zero.
 ∴ k ≠ 0
 ∴ k = 6
