number line method
Here I am giving you some examples of quadratic equations.

Ex 1: x2 + 3x – 10 = 0 and y2 – 7y + 12 = 0

By solving we get x = -5, 2 and y = 3, 4


Put these values as on a number line as:
-5(x) 2(x) 3(y) 4(y)
By this, it is clear that x is always less than y. So, we will say x < y.

Ex 2: x2 – 8x + 12 = 0 and y2 + 3y – 10 = 0

By solving we get x = 2, 6 and y = -5, 2


Put these values as on a number line as:
-5(y) 2(y,x) 6(x)
When x = 2, x = y=2 and x > y = -5, so x ≥ y.
When x = 6, x > y = 2 and x > y = -5.
By this, it is clear that either x is greater than y always or is equal to y at value 2. So, we will say
x ≥ y.

Ex 3: x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 and y2 – y – 6 = 0

By solving we get x = -4, 1 and y = -2, 3


Put these values as on a number line as:
-4(x) -2(y) 1(x) 3(y)
When there are values in between, one cannot find the relationship. So, we will say that no
relationship exists between x and y.

Ex 4: x2 – 5x + 6 = 0 and y2 – 7y + 10 = 0

By solving we get x = 2, 3 and y = 2, 5


Put these values as on a number line as:
2(x,y) 3(x) 5(y)
When x = 2, x = y=2 and x < y = 5, so x ≤ y.
When x = 3, x > y = 2 and x < y = 5.
By these values, one cannot find the exact relationship. So, we will say that no relationship exists
between x and y.
Quadratic Equation

aX2+bX +c =0

a = coefficient of X2

b = coefficient of X

c = constant term

There will be five problems from this topic. It is the easiest one, so you can solve all problems
within 5 to 7 minutes.

In this kind of problems two equations will be given as question, you have to solve the equation
and find the relation between them

1.P > Q

2.P < Q

3.P ≥ Q

4.p ≤ Q

5.P = Q or relationship cannot be established

Example 1:P2+13P+40=0

Q2+7Q+12=0

Step1: let us take equ 1. P2+13P+40=0 in this equation coefficient of p, 13 should be split into
two numbers in such a way that multiplication of both numbers should be equal to constant term
40 and addition of numbers should be equal to 13

13 can be split into (1,12) (2,11) (3,10) (4,9) (5,8) (6,7)

In these combination 5 and 8 only can give 40 while multiplying, so this is the number we are
searching for,and since the coefficient of P2 is 1 and there is no negative sign in the equation, we
can directly write value of P by simply changing the sign

P= -5,-8

( just for reference Actual procedure is P2+5P+8P+40=0

P(P+5)+8(P+5)=0
(P+5)(P+8)=0

P=-5,-8 )

Step 2: Now equ2. Q2+7Q+12=0 similar process applicable for this equation to find Q, here
coefficient of Q should be split into two numbers and multiplication of the numbers should give
12

7 can be split up into (1,6) (2,5) (3,4)

Combination of 3 and 4 alone satisfy our need i.e. giving 7 and 12 while adding and multiplying
the numbers respectively, since there is no negative sign in the equation,we can directly write
value of Q by changing sign .

Q=-3, -4

P= -5,-8

Obviously P < Q

Example 2: 2p2+12p+16=0

2q2+14q+24=0

Step 1: let us take equ1 since coefficient of p2 is 2,we have to multiply 2 with constant number
16 , now as usual 12 should be split up into two numbers and multiplication of the numbers
should give ( 2*16=) 32 .

4+8 =12

4*8=32

12 can be split up into 4 and 8,

now change the sign of numbers and divide it by 2 since the coefficient of p2 is 2 ,
Thus the value of p = -2,-4

Step 2: now take equ2. And follow the same procedure multiply 2 with constant number 24 . So
addition of two numbers should be 14 and multiplication of numbers should be 48 (24*2)

6+8 =14 ; 6*8=48

Numbers are 6 and 8, now divide by 2, since the coefficient of q 2 is 2 so the value of q is -3,-4

here, one of the numbers of p and q are same but other number of p is greater than other number
of q

so ans is p ≥ q

If you have doubt in finding which one is greater, use this technique.

Number which is 1st from right hand side is greater one.

Example 3: x2-x-6=0

2y2+13y+21

Step1: Here constant number and coefficient of x are negative so the combination of numbers
will be positive and negative.
Combination is 2,-3

Value of x=-2 , 3

Step2: proceed with equation 2

Combination is (6,7) ,

since the coefficient of y2 is 2 divide the value of y by 2

Y= -(6/2) , -(7/2)

Y= -3 , -3.5

Relation is X > Y

Example 4: 12x2+11x+12=10x2+22x

13y2-18y+3=9y2-10y

Step1: convert this into normal quadratic equation form

2x2-11x+12=0

4y2-8y+3=0
Step2: now as usual normal procedure , here coefficient of x is negative and constant term is
positive so both numbers will be negative

Combination is -8,-3

And value of x= 4, 3/2

Step3: proceed with equ 2

Combination is (-2,-6)

since coefficient of y2 is 4 divide the value of y by 4 ,

And value of y = ½ , 3/2

Relation is x ≥ y

Example 5: 18/x2 + 6/x -12/x2 = 8/x2

Y3+9.68+5.64 =16.95

Multiply x2 in equ1 it becomes 18+6X -12 =8

Solving this equations we get x = 1/3 = 0.33

Solving equ2 we get y3 = 1.63


Y = 1.17

Relation is x < y

Example 6: (x+18)1/2 = (144)1/2 – (49)1/2

Y2 +409 = 473

By solving equ1, we get x = 7

Solving equ2 we get y = ± 8

Relation cannot be formed between x and y since x is both highest and lowest one.

TIPS to find combination:

1. If the coefficient of x or y and constant term is negative, then one number will be positive and
other will be negative.
2. If the coefficient of x or y and constant term is positive, combination will be positive.
3. If the coefficient of x or y and constant term are positive and negative then the
combination of numbers will be both positive and negative.
The Quantitative Aptitude section of the SBI PO Exam have Inequality questions based on
quadratic equation. In inequality questions, you will find one or two quadratic equations are
given and a relation between X and Y is to be desired. The quick derivation of the values of X
and Y plays a vital role here. In this article, we’ll be provide you with simple and detailed
method by which you will be arrive at the solution in a SBI Po Quantitative Problems in
comfortable manner.

Quadratic Equations

An equation of the form

ax2 + bx + c = 0

is called a Quadratic Equation. The numbers a, b and c are called the coefficients of quadratic
equation.

The power of ‘x’ is of second order. Hence, the solution of this equation results in two values
of variable ‘x’ which are called the roots of the quadratic equation.

The roots are called α and β. Also, it’s useful to learn about discriminant of the quadratic
equation.

Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac

Roots of the equations are related to discriminant as α =

and β =

If we add up the above two roots, we’ll get

α + β = -2b/2a = -b/a
And if we multiply both the roots, we’ll get

αβ = 4ac/(2a)2 = c/a

Also, when roots are equal,

Putting α = β and solving further, we will get Discriminant, D = 0

These few facts gives us clearer picture about how to derive the roots of the equations.

Let’s rewrite the quadratic equation again.

ax2 + bx + c = 0

This is the same as

x2 + [b/a]x + [c/a] = 0

Putting values of b/a and c/a, we get the root form of quadratic equation,

x2 + [-(α+β)]x + [αβ] = 0

How to decide sign of the roots of x and y?


Solving the Quadratic Equations

Let’s learn further by solving the equations of the above question.

1. X2 + 12 = 7X

Taking 7X to left side, we get X2 – 7X + 12 = 0

In this, a = 1, b = -7 and c = 12

Also, sum of roots = -b/a = 7; product of roots = c/a = 12

To arrive at the roots, we’ll have to split up the middle term. We’ll have to break 7X into two
parts, let’s say, pX and qX, in such a way that

p+q should be = b = -7, and, pq should be = c*a = 21*1 = 12

If we break -7X into -4X and -3X

(-4)+(-3) = -7

(-4)(-3) = 12

Which is the desired thing. Thus, our equation becomes.

X2 – 4X – 3X + 12 = 0

X[X – 4] – 3[X – 4] = 0

[X – 4][X – 3] = 0

X = +4 and +3

Which is the solution of this quadratic equation. This equation can also be solved using the
discriminant method.

D = b2 – 4ac = (-7)2 – 4*1*12 = 49 – 48 = 1


You have to decide which process is faster. Splitting up the middle term requires a lot of
practice. Discriminant method is slow, but effective. You don’t have to worry about in what way
the middle term should be split.

Solving 2nd equation.

1. Y2 + 30 = 11Y

Y2 – 11Y + 30 = 0

Y2 – 6Y – 5Y + 30 = 0

Y[Y – 6] -5[Y – 6] = 0

[Y – 6][Y – 5] = 0

Y = +6 and +5

Discriminant method will also give you the same result.

Solving The Question

So far we have solved only the equations. The final part that remains solving is: what is the
relation between X and Y?

To solve this, you have to bear in mind three things:

1. The relation between 1st root of X to both the roots of Y


2. The relation between 2nd root of X to both the roots of Y
3. Both the above relations should match!

To do this, check the relation between both the roots of the equations one by one.

X = +3, +4

Y = +5, +6

+3 is less than or greater than +5 and +6?

Less than.

+4 is less than or greater than +5 and +6?


Less than.

Both relations are same. So, final answer is: X is less than Y.
