PSEB Class 10 Quadratic Equations Practice

Quadratic Equations is an important Class 10 Mathematics chapter that explains equations of degree two. Students learn how to recognise quadratic equations, write them in standard form, find roots, and understand the nature of roots using the discriminant.

Questions from this chapter may ask students to identify a quadratic equation, solve equations by factorisation, use the quadratic formula, find the sum and product of roots, calculate the discriminant, decide whether roots are real and distinct, real and equal, or not real, and form equations from simple word problems.

Use this 20-question practice test before broader Class 10 Mathematics revision. After completing the test, review every explanation carefully and repeat the test after revising weak areas such as factorisation, discriminant, quadratic formula, and word problems.

What to Review for Quadratic Equations

Focus on standard form, roots, factorisation, quadratic formula, and discriminant.

Quadratic Equation Basics

Review the standard form of a quadratic equation, coefficient of x², coefficient of x, constant term, and the condition that the coefficient of x² must not be zero.

Solving Methods

Practice solving quadratic equations by factorisation, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. Also revise how to check roots by substitution.

Discriminant and Word Problems

Revise the discriminant, nature of roots, real roots, equal roots, no real roots, and word problems involving numbers, areas, ages, speed, time, and distance.

Key Quadratic Equations Concepts to Remember

Before repeating the test, make sure you can recognise the equation type and choose the correct solving method. Many questions become easier when the equation is first written in standard form.

  • Quadratic equation
  • Standard form ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Coefficient of x²
  • Coefficient of x
  • Constant term
  • Root of a quadratic equation
  • Solution of a quadratic equation
  • Factorisation method
  • Splitting the middle term
  • Completing the square
  • Quadratic formula
  • Discriminant
  • Real and distinct roots
  • Real and equal roots
  • No real roots
  • Sum of roots
  • Product of roots
  • Word problems based on quadratic equations

Common Mistakes in Quadratic Equations Questions

Quadratic Equations questions often involve signs, coefficients, and square roots. When checking your result, see whether one of these common mistakes affected your answer:

  • Forgetting to write the equation in standard form
  • Calling a linear equation a quadratic equation
  • Ignoring the condition that the coefficient of x² must not be zero
  • Making sign mistakes while factorising
  • Using wrong factors after splitting the middle term
  • Forgetting that both factors must be set equal to zero
  • Using the quadratic formula with wrong values of a, b, and c
  • Forgetting the negative sign before b in the quadratic formula
  • Calculating the discriminant incorrectly
  • Confusing real and equal roots with no real roots
  • Forgetting to reject negative answers in age, length, or speed problems
  • Not checking whether final roots satisfy the original equation

Quadratic Equations Practice FAQ

Common questions about this PSEB Class 10 Mathematics Quadratic Equations practice test.

Yes. The Quadratic Equations practice test is free to use and does not require registration, payment, or a subscription.

The test contains 20 multiple-choice questions with four answer options, instant result checking, and detailed explanations.

Review standard form, roots, factorisation method, completing the square, quadratic formula, discriminant, nature of roots, and word problems.

A quadratic equation is an equation of degree two that can be written in the standard form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a is not equal to zero.

For ax² + bx + c = 0, the quadratic formula is x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a.

The discriminant of ax² + bx + c = 0 is b² - 4ac. It helps determine the nature of roots.

A quadratic equation has two real and distinct roots when its discriminant is greater than zero.
