Option 4: 10 years 4 months

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 years 4 months


Solution : Using Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
Sum of the ages of 30 students = 30 × 14$\frac{4}{12}$ = 30 ×14$\frac{1}{3}$ = 30 × $\frac{43}{3}$ = 430 years
Sum of age of 35 students after admission = 35 × 13$\frac{9}{12}$

Question : If the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is 1 and the product of the roots is –20, find the quadratic equation.

Option 1: $x^{2}–x–20=0$

Option 2: $x^{2}+x+20=0$

Option 3: $x^{2}+x–20=0$

Option 4: $x^{2}–x+20=0$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $x^{2}–x–20=0$


Solution : Given: The sum of the roots = 1
The product of the roots is = –20
We know that quadratic equation: $x^{2}–(\text{sum of the root})x+(\text{product of the root})=0$
⇒ $x^{2}–(1)x+(–20)=0$
⇒ $x^{2}–x–20=0$
Hence, the correct answer is $x^{2}–x–20=0$.

Question : The product of two positive integers is 2048 and one of them is twice the other. The smaller number is:

Option 1: 32

Option 2: 64

Option 3: 16

Option 4: 1024
