I wrote Sum of the roots as b/a =

I just assumed we will be able to

answer if we had two different

anything.

The question asked for the value


of 'y' and I thought giving y = (3-
x)/2 was sufficient.

Since I couldn't find d, I thought I


was solving it wrong. The only
number I had, 300, was what I
marked as the answer.

I marked the area of triangle FEB
instead of FDC.
I assumed that since the first

SUMMARY

Learnings

For a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0,


the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product
of the roots is c/a.

Never assume!
Write and infer as much as you can.
Don't jump to conclusions.

In a value DS question, you want a UNIQUE


value that is a proper NUMBER; it should
not be in terms of another variable.

Keep in front what you have and what you


want. Try to express what you have in
terms of what you want and infer!

Before marking the final answer, check that


you're marking what is asked.
Never assume!
A linear equation in two variables can also
have a unique solution if there are
constraints given.
