Answer

(i) Since, {2, -3} is solution set.

It means 2 and -3 are roots of the equation,

∴ x = 2 or x = -3

⇒ x - 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

⇒ (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0

⇒ (x2 + 3x - 2x - 6) = 0

⇒ x2 + x - 6 = 0.

Hence, quadratic equation with solution set {2, -3} is x2 + x - 6 = 0.

(ii) Since, {3,25}\Big{-3, \dfrac{2}{5}\Big} is solution set.

It means -3 and 25\dfrac{2}{5} are roots of the equation,

∴ x = -3 or x = 25\dfrac{2}{5}

⇒ x = -3 or 5x = 2

⇒ x + 3 = 0 or 5x - 2 = 0

⇒ (x + 3)(5x - 2) = 0

⇒ (5x2 - 2x + 15x - 6) = 0

⇒ 5x2 + 13x - 6 = 0.

Hence, quadratic equation with solution set {3,25}\Big{-3, \dfrac{2}{5}\Big} is 5x2 + 13x - 6 = 0.

(iii) Since, {25,12}\Big{\dfrac{2}{5}, -\dfrac{1}{2}\Big} is solution set.

It means 25\dfrac{2}{5} and 12-\dfrac{1}{2} are roots of the equation,

∴ x = 25\dfrac{2}{5} or x = 12-\dfrac{1}{2}

⇒ 5x = 2 or 2x = -1

⇒ 5x - 2 = 0 or 2x + 1 = 0

⇒ (5x - 2)(2x + 1) = 0

⇒ (10x2 + 5x - 4x - 2) = 0

⇒ 10x2 + x - 2 = 0.

Hence, quadratic equation with solution set {25,12}\Big{\dfrac{2}{5}, -\dfrac{1}{2}\Big} is 10x2 + x - 2 = 0.
