Note: We see that the denominators of x and y are the same. This does not
imply that x > y if b1c 2 b 2c1 a 2 c1 a 1c 2 as it fails when a 1b 2 a 2 b1 is
negative.
(b) One equation is linear and the other is quadratic:
Take Ex 2: (i) p - 7 = 0
K KUNDAN
(ii) 3q2 - 10q + 7 = 0
Equation (ii) gives two values of q. According to the given choices, both the
values of q should be either more than or less than the value of p. Why?
Because, if one value is more and the other is less than p, none of the given
choices match our answer.
Now, if both the values of q are more than p then the sum of the two values
of q should be more than 2p. And if both the values of q are less than p then
the sum of the two values of q should be less than 2p.
In the above case;
(i) p = 7

2 7 p > q

Note: When (i) p + q = 7; and
As
(ii) q2 - q - 6 = 0
In such a case, solve equation (ii). For each value of q find the corresponding
values of p from (i).
K KUNDAN
Ex 3, Ex 4 and Ex 5 are the examples of such questions. You can see the
most common method to solve them as given under their solutions. The
other method to solve the quadratic equations is factorisation method, which
must be known to you.
Useful conclusions:
In such cases, we can't reach to answer when one value of p is less than q
and the other value of p is more than q (the reason is the same as discussed
in (b)). So, both the values of p are either more or less than both the values
of q. This further emplies that if p1, p2, q1 and q2 are the values of p and q
then
either
p1 p 2 q1 q 2

We put p = 2 in I or II. The equations hold true, which confirms that 2 is the

Therefore, our first conclusion is q > p. Now, check the equality:
II p 2 7 p 12 0; Sum of roots =
{1 12 - 7) (-2)} {1 7 - 1 1} = {1 12 - 1(-2)}2
or, {26} {6} = {14}2 which is not true.
Hence, our answer is q > p.
Apply another method to check the equality.

Note: Such type of equation can be solved easily if we find the roots by the
method of factorisation. For example:
I q2 q 2 0
(q + 2) (q - 1) = 0 q = -2, 1
II p 2 7p 12 0 (p + 3) (p + 4) = 0 p = -3, -4
So, first try to find out the factors. If it seems difficult to factorise the
equations only then go for the other methods. The above method can be a
short cut like:
STEP 1: Multiply the coefficient of q 2 with the constant (the c in
ax 2 bx c 0 ). Here, in I, coefficient of q 2 is +1 and the constant is -2;
so the product is (+1) (-2) = -2. Now, break the coefficient of q (ie +1) in
two parts so that its product becomes -2. In this case +1 = +2, -1 are two
parts.

of factorisation. If we factorise,

Thus q > p. Now suppose p = q. Then

We can't make any conclusion in such question. If we say p q, then -4
should be more than -3. Which is not true. Also, when we say q p, then
-4 should be greater than -2, which is not true. Hence we can't answer this
question. Note that although this question has been asked in a bank exam.

Now, put p = q and do (I) - (II) then -6p - 12 = 0 p = 2. As it satisfies
