Class 10 Maths Part 1 Practice Set 2.3 Chapter 2 Quadratic Equations Questions With Answers Maharashtra Board
   Question 1.
   
   Solve the following quadratic equations by completing the square method.
   
   1. x
   
    2
   
   + x – 20 = 0
   
   2. x
   
    2
   
   + 2x – 5 = 0
   
   3. m
   
    2
   
   – 5m = -3
   
   4. 9y
   
    2
   
   – 12y + 2 = 0
   
   5. 2y
   
    2
   
   + 9y + 10 = 0
   
   6. 5x
   
    2
   
   = 4x + 7
   
   Solution:
   
   1. x
   
    2
   
   + x – 20 = 0
   
   If x
   
    2
   
   + x + k = (x + a)
   
    2
   
   , then
   
   x
   
    2
   
   + x + k = x
   
    2
   
   + 2ax + a
   
    2
   
   
   Comparing the coefficients, we get
   
   1 = 2a and k = a
   
    2
    
   
    
   
   ∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are 4 and -5.
  
   2. x
   
    2
   
   + 2x – 5 = 0
   
   If x
   
    2
   
   + 2x + k = (x + a)
   
    2
   
   , then
   
   x
   
    2
   
   + 2x + k = x
   
    2
   
   + 2ax + a
   
    2
   
   
   Comparing the coefficients, we get
   
   2 = 2a and k = a
   
    2
   
   
   ∴ a = 1 and k = (1)
   
    2
   
   = 1
   
   Now, x
   
    2
   
   + 2x – 5 = 0
   
   ∴ x
   
    2
   
   + 2x + 1 – 1 – 5 = 0
   
   ∴ (x + 1)
   
    2
   
   – 6 = 0
   
   ∴ (x + 1)
   
    2
   
   = 6
   
   Taking square root of both sides, we get
   
   x + 1 = ± √6
   
   ∴ x + 1 √6 or x + 1 = √6
   
   ∴ x = √6 – 1 or x = -√6 – 1
   
   ∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are √6 -1 and – √6 -1.
  
   3. m
   
    2
   
   – 5m = -3
   
   ∴ m
   
    2
   
   – 5m + 3 = 0
   
   If m
   
    2
   
   – 5m + k = (m + a)
   
    2
   
   , then
   
   m
   
    2
   
   – 5m + k = m
   
    2
   
   + 2am + a
   
    2
   
   
   Comparing the coefficients, we get
   
   -5 = 2a and k = a
   
    2
    
     
    
   
  
   4. 9y
   
    2
   
   – 12y + 2 = 0
   
    
   
    
  
   5. 2y
   
    2
   
   + 9y + 10 = 0
   
    
   
   Taking square root of both sides, we get
   
    
   
   ∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation are -2 and \(\frac { -5 }{ 2 } \).
  
   6. 5x
   
    2
   
   = 4x + 7
   
   ∴ 5x
   
    2
   
   – 4x – 7 = 0
   
    
   
   Comparing the coefficients, we get
