We got a quadratic equation to solve.
Always time is precious and objective tests measures not only
how accurate you are but also how fast you are. We can either
solve this quadratic equation in the traditional way. But more
easy way is just substitute the values given in the choices in the
quadratic equation (equation 3 ) and see which choice satisfy
the equation.
Here the option A is 10. If we substitute that value in the
quadratic equation, x(x-2) = 10 8 which is not equal to 120
Now try option B which is 12. If we substitute that value in the
quadratic equation, x(x-2) = 12 10 = 120. See, we got that x
= 12.
Hence Sunil's age = 12

using
x =
