Class 10 Maths Chapter 2 Solved MCQs 2026 – Quadratic Equations Notes PDF
Unit 2: Quadratic Equations and Inequalities | Chapter 2 MCQs | Punjab Board New Syllabus 2026–27
Updated August 2026: Chapter 2 Solved MCQs for Quadratic Equations have been uploaded below and are free to view or download, fully solved according to the new PCTB/PECTAA Class 10 Mathematics syllabus.
Why a Dedicated MCQs Page
Chapter 2 is the largest and most heavily weighted chapter in the algebra section of the Punjab Board Mathematics paper, spanning solving methods, root theory, and inequalities across seven exercises. This page strips away the full working shown in the exercise pages and focuses purely on speed and recognition — the same skill the objective section actually tests.
Topics Covered in These MCQs
- Standard form and recognizing genuine quadratic equations
- Factorization, completing the square, and the quadratic formula
- The discriminant and the nature of roots
- Sum and product of the roots
- Forming a quadratic equation from given roots
- Solving and interpreting quadratic inequalities
Sample Solved MCQs
Q1. The roots of x² − 7x + 12 = 0 are:
(A) 3, 4 ✓ (B) 2, 6 (C) −3, −4 (D) 1, 12
Explanation: (x−3)(x−4)=0, so x=3 or x=4. Check: sum=7=−(−7)/1, product=12=12/1.
Q2. For 2x² − 5x + 1 = 0, the value of the discriminant is:
(A) 17 ✓ (B) 9 (C) −17 (D) 25
Explanation: D = b²−4ac = (−5)²−4(2)(1) = 25−8 = 17.
Q3. If α and β are the roots of x² + 6x + 8 = 0, then α + β equals:
(A) 6 (B) −6 ✓ (C) 8 (D) −8
Explanation: Sum of roots = −b/a = −6/1 = −6.
Q4. The solution of x² − 9 ≤ 0 is:
(A) x ≤ −3 or x ≥ 3 (B) −3 ≤ x ≤ 3 ✓ (C) x = 3 only (D) x < −3 and x > 3
Explanation: Critical values are x=−3, 3. The region between them satisfies x²−9≤0, so −3≤x≤3.
These four questions are representative samples. The full PDF notes uploaded on this page include a complete, numbered set of MCQs covering every topic in Chapter 2, with the correct option marked and briefly explained.
How These MCQs Are Organized
To match how the uploaded notes are structured, questions are grouped so students can target weak areas directly rather than working through everything in one sitting:
- Solving Methods: factorization, completing the square, and the quadratic formula
- Discriminant & Roots: nature of roots, sum and product relationships
- Forming Equations: building an equation from given or described roots
- Inequalities: identifying critical values and correct solution intervals
Tips for Attempting MCQs Under Time Pressure
- For “nature of roots” questions, calculate only the discriminant — don’t solve the full equation
- For sum/product questions, go straight to −b/a and c/a rather than factorizing first
- For inequality MCQs, quickly test one value from each interval rather than re-deriving the whole solution
- Eliminate options that violate basic rules first, such as a negative discriminant paired with “two real roots”
Why This Page Matters for the Board Exam
Because Chapter 2 covers seven distinct exercises, its objective-section MCQs are unusually diverse compared to smaller chapters, and reviewing them together is one of the most efficient ways to confirm all seven techniques are fresh before an exam. A strong, fast performance here also builds the confidence needed to move quickly into the chapter’s longer, multi-step subjective questions.
