Second, x1 = +2 < y2 = +4
Third, x2 = +3 < y1 = +4
Fourth, x2 = +3 < y2 = +4
Hence, we can say that x < y.
Example 2: I. x2-x-6=0
II. 2y2+13y+21= 0
Sol: I. x2-x-6=0
Factors are (+2 and 3)
No coefficient with x2, just reverse the sign.
Quantitative Aptitude Now, x1 = 2
x2 = +3
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
II. 2y2+13y+21= 0

Same process as above,
a = coefficient of x2
Factors are (+6 and +7)
b = coefficient of x
Divided by Coefficient of x2 which is 2
c = constant term
Now, Change the signs and divide the both numbers by 2.
There are 5 Questions asked from this topic. Two equations
y 1 = 6/2 = 3
given and we have to find the values and the relationship
between these equations. Relationship can be: y 2 = 7/2 = 3.5
(A) x > y (B) x < y (C) x < y (D) x > y Compare values of x and y
(E) x = y or no relation x1 > y1
x2 >y2
Example 1: x2 5x + 6 = 0
x1 > y1
I

should be equal to 5. Sol: I. x2 5x + 4 = 0
It can be split into (1 + 4 and 2 + 3) Values of x = +4, +1
In the combination of 2 and 3 can achieve the product 6. II. y2 + 11y + 30 = 0
Coefficient of x2 is 1 and negative sign with 5x, we have to
Values of y = 5, 6
change the sign for both factors from negative to positive.
We can clearly say that x > y.
x = +2 and +3
Step 2: Now equation 2. y28y+16 = 0
QUESTIONS
Similar process applicable for this equation to find y, here
coefficient of y should be split into two numbers and 1. I. 2x2+21x+34 = 0
multiplication of the numbers should give 16. II. 3y2+23y+42 = 0
8 can be split up into (1,7) (2,6) (3,5) (4,4) (A) x > y (B) x < y
Combination of 4 and 4 alone satisfy the condition i.e. giving (C) x < y (D) x > y

The machine rearranges one word and one number in each
step simultaneously, words are arranged from left end and
numbers are arranged from right end.
(i) In this, words are arranged in decreasing manner according
to addition of place value of 1st and 2nd letter of the word.
(ii) Numbers are arranged in decreasing order, first all prime
numbers are arranged after that non-prime numbers are
arranged.
In the last operation, for all words, place values of the first
and last letter of the word in the alphabetical series are
multiplied. (For example: Xenom -24x13= 312). For all
numbers, the square of 1st and last digit is added. (For

Benefits of Universal Banking

To the Organization: When a bank diversifies its
activities as a universal bank it can use its existing
expertise in one type of financial service in providing
the other types. So it entails less cost in performing
all the functions by one entity instead of separate
specialized body.
To the customers: Universal bank being a one stop
shop for all varied services, save a lot of transaction
costs and increases the speed of economic activity.
To shareholders: One manifestation of universal
banking is a bank holding stakes in a firm. When a
lender has a stake in a firm he is in better position to
monitor the firm to safeguard his interest which sends
a good signal about the financial health of the firm
to the investors.
Drawbacks of Universal Banking
Universal banking leads to a loss in economies of
specialization.
Problem of the bank indulging in too many risky
activities.
