Practice Set 2.2 Algebra 10th Std Maths Part 1 Answers Chapter 2 Quadratic Equations

By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ x + 5 = 0 or x – 4 = 0
∴ x = -5 or x = 4
∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are -5 and 4.

By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ y + 13 = 0 or 2y + 1 = 0
∴ y = – 13 or 2y = -1
∴ y = -13 or y = –
∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are -13 and –

By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ m – 5 = 0 or 5m + 3 = 0
∴ m = 5 or 5m = -3
∴ m = 5 or m =
∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are 5 and –


By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ 3x – 2 = 0 or 2x + 1 = 0
∴ 3x = 2 or 2x = -1
∴ x = or 2x = -1
∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are and .

By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get


By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get


ix. 2m (m – 24) = 50
∴ 2m2– 48m = 50
∴ 2m2– 48m – 50 = 0
∴m2– 24m – 25 = 0 …[Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ m – 25 = 0 or m + 1 = 0
∴ m = 25 or m = -1
∴ The roots of thes given quadratic equation are 25 and -1.

x. 25m2= 9
∴ 25m2– 9 = 0
∴ (5m)2– (3)2= 0
∴ (5m + 3) (5m – 3) = 0
…. [∵a2– b2= (a + b) (a – b)]
By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ 5m + 3 = 0 or 5m – 3 = 0
∴ 5m = -3 or 5m = 3
∴ m = or m =
∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are and .
xi. 7m2= 21m
∴ 7m2– 21m = 0
∴ m2– 3m = 0 …[Dividing both sides by 7]
∴ m(m – 3) = 0
By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ m = 0 or m – 3 = 0
∴ m = 0 or m = 3
∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are 0 and 3.
By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ m + √11 = 0 or m – √11 = 0
∴ m = -√11 or m = √11
∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are – √11 and √11
