So, we want the equation whose roots would be 
So, the sum of the roots of our desired equation would be 
and product of the roots would be 
What we know from given equation are:
and 
the sum and product are:
and
Our desired equation would be

Mukund possesses ₹50 more than what Sagar possesses. The product of the amount they have is 15,000. Find the amount each one has.
Answer:
Let Sagar has x amount
Mukund’s amount = 
⇒ 
Splitting the middle term we get:-
⇒ x2 - 100x + 150x - 15000 = 0
⇒ x(x - 100) + 150(x - 100)
⇒ (x - 100)(x+150)
∴ x = (-150) , 100
x = 100 as money cant be negative therefore we ignore (-150)
∴ Sagar has 100Rs and Mukund has 150Rs

Question 33.
A tank fills completely in 2 hours if both the taps are open. If only one of the taps is open at the given time, the smaller tap takes 3 hours more than the larger one to fill the tank. How much time does each tap take to fill the tank completely?
Answer:
Let the time taken by larger tap alone be x hr. Then ,
Time taken by smaller tap be x + 3 hr
In an hour, the larger tap can fill 
tank.
∴ In an hour, the larger tap can fill 
tank.
Two taps together can fill a tank in 2 hr.
But in an hour, taps fill in 
of the tank.
∴ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
For larger tap 3 hours and for smaller tap 6 hours.
