Solution:
x + 5 is the mean proportion between x + 2 and x + 9
(x + 5)² = (x + 2) (x + 9) {b² = ac}
⇒ x² + 10x + 25 = x² + 11x + 18
⇒ x² + 10x – x² – 11x = 18 – 25
⇒ -x = -7
⇒ x = 7
Hence x = 7

Solution:
Let x be subtracted from each of the numbers 7, 17 and 47.
Then 7 – x, 17 – x and 47 – x are in continued proportion.
7 – x : 17 – x : : 17 – x : 47 – x
⇒ (7 – x) (47 – x) = (17 – x) (17 – x)
⇒ 329 – 7x – 47x + x² = 289 – 17x – 17x + x²
⇒ -7x – 47x + x² + 17x + 17x – x² = 289 – 329
⇒ -54x + 34x = – 40
⇒ -20x = -40
⇒ x = 2
2 is to be the subtracted

If y is the mean proportional between x and z; show that xy + yz is the mean proportional between x² + y² and y² + z².
Solution:
y is the mean proportional between x and z.
y² = xz
Now, we have to prove that
xy + yz is the mean proportional between x² + y² and y² + z²
i.e., (xy + yz)² = (x² + y²) (y² + z²)
L.H.S. (xy + yz)² = [y(x + z)]² = y² (x + z)² = xz (x + z)²
R.H.S. (x² + y²) (y² + z²) = (x² + xz) (xz + z²) = x (x + z) z (x + z) = xz (x + z)²
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence proved.

q is the mean proportional between p and r,
q² = pr
Now L.H.S. = pqr (p + q + r)³
= qq² (p + q + r)³
= q³ (p + q + r)³
= [q(p + q + r)]³
= (pq + q² + qr)³
= (pq + pr + qr)³
= (pq + qr + pr)³
= R.H.S.

Question 11.
If three quantities are in continued proportion; show that the ratio of the first to the third is the duplicate ratio of the first to the second.
Solution:
Let x, y and z are three quantities which are
in continued proportion
Then x : y : y : z ⇒ y² = zx
Now, we have to prove that
x : z = x² : y² or xy² = zx²
L.H.S. = xy² = x x zx (y² = zx)
= x² z = R.H.S.
Hence Proved.

• Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 8 Remainder and Factor Theorems Ex 8B
• Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 8 Remainder and Factor Theorems Ex 8C

Question 1.
Show that (x – 1) is a factor of x³ – 7x² + 14x – 8. Hence, completely factorise the given expression.
Solution:

Question 2.
Using Remainder Theorem, factorise : x³ + 10x² – 37x + 26 completely. (2014)
Solution:
f(x) = x³ + 10x² – 37x + 26
f(1) = (1)³ + 10(1)² – 37(1) + 26 = 1 + 10 – 37 + 26 = 0
x = 1
x – 1 is factor of f(x)

Question 3.
When x³ + 3x² – mx + 4 is divided by x – 2, the remainder is m + 3. Find the value of m.
Solution:
Let f(x) = x³ + 3x² – mx + 4
and x – 2 = 0 then x = 2
f(2) = (2)³ + 3(2)² – m(2) + 4 = 8 + 12 – 2m + 4 = 24 – 2m
Remainder = 24 – 2m
But, remainder is given m + 3
m + 3 = 24 – 2m
⇒ m + 2m = 24 – 3
⇒ 3m = 21
⇒ m = 7
Hence m = 7

Question 4.
What should be subtracted from 3x³ – 8x² + 4x – 3, so that the resulting expression has x + 2 as a factor ?
Solution:
The number to be subtracted = Remainder obtained by dividing 3x³ – 8x² + 4x – 3 by x + 2
Let f(x) = 3x³ – 8x² + 4x – 3
and x + 2 = 0, then x = – 2
Remainder = f(-2) = 3 (-2)³ – 8 (-2)² + 4 (-2) – 3 = -24 – 32 – 8 – 3 = -67
Hence the number to be subtracted = – 67

Question 5.
If (x + 1) and (x – 2) are factors of x³ + (a + 1) x² – (b – 2) x – 6, find the values of a and 6. And then, factorise the given expression completely.
Solution:

Question 6.
If x – 2 is a factor of x² – ax + b and a + b = 1, find the values of a and b.
Solution:
(x – 2) is a factor of x² + ax + b
Let x – 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
Now x² + ax + b = (2)² + a x 2 + b = 4 + 2a + b = 2a + b + 4
x – 2 is the factor Remainder = 0 or 2a + b + 4 = 0
⇒ 2a + b = -4 …(i)
But a + b = 1 (given) …(ii)
Subtracting, we get : a = -5
Substituting the value of a in (ii)
-5 + b = 1 ⇒ b = 1 + 5 ⇒ b = 6
Hence a = -5, b = 6

Question 7.
Factorise x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6 completely using factor theorem.
Solution:

Question 8.
Find the value of ‘m’ if mx³ + 2x² – 3 and x² – mx + 4 leave the same remainder when each is divided by x – 2.
Solution:
Let f(x) = mx³ + 2x² – 3
g (x) = x² – mx + 4
Let x – 2 = 0, then x = 2
f(2) = m (2)³ + 2 (2)² – 3 = 8m + 8 – 3 = 8m + 5
g(2) = (2)² – mx² + 4 = 4 – 2m + 4 = 8 – 2m
In both cases the remainder is same
8m + 5 = 8 – 2m
⇒ 8m + 2m = 8 – 5
⇒ 10m = 3
⇒ m = \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\)

Question 9.
The polynomial px³ + 4x² – 3x + q is completely divisible by x² – 1; find the values of p and q. Also, for these values of p and q, factorize the given polynomial completely.
Solution:

Question 10.
Find the number which should be added to x² + x + 3 so that the resulting polynomial is completely divisible by (x + 3).
Solution:
Let k be added to f(x), then f(x) = x² + x + 3 + k
Let x + 3 = 0, then x = -3
f(-3) = (-3)2 + (-3) + 3 + k = 9 – 3 + 3 + k = 9 + k
f(x) is divisible by x + 3, then remainder will be 0.
9 + k = 0 ⇒ k = -9
-9 should be added

Question 11.
When the polynomial x³ + 2x² – 5ax – 7 is divided by (x – 1), the remainder is A and when the polynomial x³ + ax² – 12x + 16 is divided by (x + 2), the remainder is B. Find the value of ‘a’ if 2A + B = 0.
Solution:
Let f(x) = x³ + 2x² – 5ax – 1
and let x – 1 = 0, then x = 1
f(1) = (1)³ + 2(1)² – 5a x 1 – 7 = 1 + 2 – 5a – 7 = -5a – 4
-5a – 4 = A ….(i)
Let g (x) = x³ + ax² +12x + 16
and let x + 2 = 0, then x = -2
g (-2) = (-2)³ + a (-2)² – 12 (-2) + 16 = -8 + 4a + 24 + 16 = 32 + 4a
32 + 4a = B ….(ii)
2A + B = 0
2 (-5a – 4) + 32 + 4a = 0
⇒ -10a – 8 + 32 + 4a = 0
⇒ -6a + 24 = 0
⇒ 6a = 24
⇒ a = 4
a = 4

Question 12.

When divided by x – 3 the polynomials x³ – px² + x + 6 and 2x³ – x² – (p + 3) x – 6 leave the same remainder. Find the value of ‘p.’
Solution:
When (x – 3) divides x³ – px² + x + 6,
then Remainder = p(3) = (3)³ – p(3)² + (3) + 6 = 27 – 9p + 9 = 36 – 9p
When (x – 3) divides 2x³ – x² – (p + 3) x – 6,
then Remainder = p(3) = 2(3)³ – (3)² – (p + 3) (3) – 6
= 54 – 9 – 3p – 9 – 6 = 30 – 3p
A.T.Q. both remainders are equal
⇒ 36 – 9p = 30 – 3p
⇒ 36 – 30 = -3p + 9p
⇒ 6 = 6p
⇒ p = 1

Question 14.
Use the Remainder Theorem to factorise the following expression : 2x³ + x² – 13x + 6
Solution:
(a) By hit and trial, putting x = 2, we have
2 (8) + 4 – 26 + 6 = 0
⇒ (x – 2) is the factor of 2x³ + x² – 13x + 6

Question 15.
Using remainder theorem, find the value of k if on dividing 2x³ + 3x² – kx + 5 by x – 2, leaves a remainder 7. (2016)
Solution:
Let f(x) = 2x³ + 3x² – kx + 5 By the remainder theorem,
f(2) = 7
⇒ 2(2)³ + 3(2)² – k(2) + 5 = 7
⇒ 2(8) + 3(4) – k(2) + 5 = 7
⇒ 16 + 12 – 2k + 5 = 7
⇒ 2k = 16 + 12 + 5 – 7
⇒ 2k = 26
⇒ k = 13
The value of k is 13.

Solution:
Total amount = ₹ 1290
A = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) B and B : C = 4 : 3
⇒ A : B = 2 : 5 and B : C = 4 : 3
LCM of 5, 4 = 20
A : B = 2 x 4 : 5 x 4 = 8 : 20
and B : C = 4 x 5 : 3 x 5 = 20 : 15
A : B : C = 8 : 20 : 15
Sum of ratios = 8 + 20 + 15 = 43

⇒ -x + 3x = 21 – 17
⇒ 2x = 10
⇒ x = 5

Question 12.
The monthly pocket money of Ravi and Sanjeev are in the ratio 5 : 7. Their expenditures are in the ratio 3 : 5. If each save Rs. 80 every month, find their monthly pocket money. [2012]
Solution:
Let the monthly pocket money of Ravi and Sanjeev be 5x and 7x respectively.
Also, let their expenditure be 3y and 5y respectively. So,
5x – 3y = 80 …(i)
and 7x – 5y = 80 …(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 7 and (ii) by 5 and subtracting, we get
4y = 160 ⇒ y = 40
From (i), 5x = 80 + 3 x 40 = 200 ⇒ x = 40
So, monthly pocket money of Ravi = Rs. 5 x 40 = Rs. 200
and monthly pocket money of Sanjeev = Rs. 7 x 40 = Rs. 280

Question 13.
The work done by (x – 2) men in (4x + 1) days and the work done by (4x + 1) men in (2x – 3) days are in the ratio of 3 : 8. Find the value of x.
Solution:
(x – 2) men can do a work in = (4x +1) days
1 man can do a work in = (4x +1) (x-2) days ….(i)
Again (4x + 1) men can do work in = 2x – 3 days
1 man can do the work in = (2x – 3) (4x + 1) days ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
(4x + 1) (x – 2) : (2x – 3) (4x + 1) = 3 : 8
⇒ (4x + 1) (x – 2) x 8 = (2x – 3) (4x + 1) x 3
⇒ 8 (4x² – 8x + x – 2) – 3 (8x² + 2x – 12x – 3)
⇒ 32x² – 64x + 8x – 16 = 24x² + 6x – 36x – 9
⇒ 32x² – 64x + 8x – 24x² – 6x + 36x – 16 + 9 = 0
⇒ 8x² – 70x + 44x – 7 = 0
⇒ 8x² – 26x – 7 = 0
⇒ 8x² – 28x + 2x – 7 = 0
⇒ 4x ( 2x – 7) + 1 (2x – 7) = 0
⇒ (2x – 7) (4x + 1) = 0
Either 2x – 7 = 0, then x = \(\frac { 7 }{ 2 }\)
or 4x + 1 = 0, then x = \(\frac { -1 }{ 4 }\) but it is not possible.
x = \(\frac { 7 }{ 2 }\) or 3.5 Ans.

Question 14.
The bus fare between two cities is increased in the ratio 7 : 9. Find the increase in the fare, if :
(i) the original fare is Rs. 245 ;
(ii) the increased fare is Rs. 207.
Solution:
The increase in bus fare between two cities is in the ratio = 7 : 9.
(i) If the original fare is Rs. 245
then increase fare = Rs. 245 x \(\frac { 9 }{ 7 }\) = Rs. 315
Increase = Rs. 315 – Rs. 245 = Rs. 70
(ii) The increased fare is Rs. 207
Original fare = Rs. \(\frac { 207 x 7 }{ 9 }\) = Rs. 161
Increase = Rs. 207 – Rs. 161 = Rs. 46

Question 15.
By increasing the cost of entry ticket to a fair in the ratio 10 : 13; the number of visitors to the fair has decreased in the ratio 6 : 5. In what ratio has the total collection increased or decreased ?

\(\frac { 2 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 3 } ,….162\)
Solution:
G.P is \(\frac { 2 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 3 } ,….162\)
a = \(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 27 } \)
r = \(\frac { 2 }{ 9 } \div \frac { 2 }{ 27 } \)
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 9 } \times \frac { 27 }{ 2 } \)
= 3
l = 162

Question 3.
For the G.P. \(\frac { 1 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 3 } …..81\)
find the product of fourth term from the beginning and the fourth term from the end.
Solution:
\(\frac { 1 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 3 } …..81\)
a = \(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 27 } \)
r = \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \div \frac { 1 }{ 27 } \)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \times \frac { 27 }{ 1 } \)
= 3

Question 4.
If for a G.P., pth, qth and rth terms are a, b and c respectively ;
prove that :
{q – r) log a + (r – p) log b + (p – q) log c = 0
Solution:
In a G.P
T_p = a,
T_q = b,
T_r = c

Question 5.
If a, b and c in G.P., prove that : log aⁿ, log bⁿ and log cⁿ are in A.P.
Solution:
a, b, c are in G.P.
Let A and R be the first term and common ratio respectively.
Therefore,
a = A
b = AR
c = AR²
log a = log A
log b = log AR = log A + log R
log c = log AR² = log A + 2log R
log a, log b and log c are in A.P.
If 2log b = log a + log c
If 2[logA + logR] = log A + log A + 2log R
If 2log A + 2log R = 2log A + 2log R

Now a^x, b^x + c^x will be in G.P. if (b^x)² = a^x.c^x
=> (b^x)² = a^x.c^x
=>(b²)^x = (ac)^x
Hence a^x, b^x, c^x are in G.P. (∴ b² = ac)
Hence proved.

Question 7.
If a, b and c are in A.P. a, x, b are in G.P. whereas b, y and c are also in G.P. Show that : x², b², y² are in A.P.
Solution:
2 b = a + c _(i)
a, x, b are in G.P.
x² = ab _(ii)
and b, y, c in G.P.
y² = bc _(iii)
Now x² + y² = ab + bc
= b(a + c)
= b x 2b [from(i)]
= 2 b²
Hence x², b², y² are in G.P.

Question 8.
If a, b, c are in G.P. and a, x, b, y, c are in A.P., prove that :
(i)\(\frac { 1 }{ x } +\frac { 1 }{ y } =\frac { 2 }{ b } \)
(ii)\(\frac { a }{ x } +\frac { c }{ y } =2\)
Solution:
a, b, c are in G.P.
b² = ac
a, x, b, y, c are in A.P.
2x = a + b and 2y = b + c

Question 9.
If a, b and c are in A.P. and also in G.P., show that: a = b = c.

Question 1.
The distance by road between two towns A and B is 216 km., and by rail it is 208 km. A car travels at a speed of x km/hr. and the train travels at a speed which is 16 km/hr faster than the car. Calculate:
(i) the time taken by the car to reach town B from A, in terms of x ;
(ii) the time taken by the train, to reach town B from A, in terms of x.
(iii) If the train takes 2 hours less than the car, to reach town B, obtain an equation in x, and solve it.
(iv) Hence, find the speed of the train. [1998]
Solution:
Distance between two stations by road = 216 km and by rail = 208 km.
Speed of car = x km/hr.
and speed of train = (x + 16) km/ hr.

⇒ 8x + 3456 = 2×2 + 32x
⇒ 2x² + 32x – 8x – 3456 = 0
⇒ 2x² + 24x – 3456 = 0
⇒ x² + 12x – 1728 = 0 (Dividing by 2)
⇒ x² + 48x – 36x – 1728 = 0
⇒ x (x + 48) – 36 (x + 48) = 0
⇒ (x + 48 ) (x – 36) = 0
Either x + 48 =0, then x = – 48 which is not possible.
or x – 36 = 0, then x = 36
(iv) Speed of train = x + 16 = 36 + 16 = 52 km/hr.

Question 2.
A trader buys x articles for a total cost of Rs. 600.
(i) Write down the cost of one article in terms of x. If the cost per article were Rs. 5 more, the number of articles that can be bought for Rs. 600 would be four less.
(ii) Write down the equation in x for the above situation and solve it for x. [1999]
Solution:
C.P. of x articles = Rs. 600

⇒ 600x = (x – 4) (600 + 5x) (By cross multiplication)
⇒ 600x = 600x + 5x² – 2400 – 20x
⇒ 5x² – 20x – 2400 = 0
(ii) x² – 4x – 480 = 0
⇒ x² – 24x + 20x – 480 = 0
⇒ x (x – 24) + 20 (x – 24) = 0
⇒ (x – 24) (x + 20) = 0 (Zero Product Rule)
Either x – 24 = 0, then x = 24
or x + 20 = 0, then x = -20 Which is not possible.
Hence no. of articles = 24

Question 3.
A hotel bill for a number of people for overnight stay is Rs. 4,800. If there were 4 people more, the bill each person had to pay would have reduced by Rs. 200. Find the number of people staying overnight. [2000]
Solution:
Amount of the bill = Rs. 4800
Let the number of persons staying overnight = x
Then amount to be paid by each person


⇒ x (x + 12) – 8 (x + 12) = 0
⇒ (x + 12) (x – 8) = 0 (Zero Product Rule)
Either x + 12 = 0, then x = -12 which is not possible being negative
or x – 8 = 0, then x = 8
Hence no. of persons staying overnight = 8

Question 4.
An aeroplane travelled a distance of 400 km at an average speed of x km/hr. On the return journey, the speed was increased by 40 km/hr. Write down an expression lor the time taken for :
(i) the omvard journey;
(ii) the return journey.
If the return journey took 30 minutes less than the on ward journey, write down an equation in x and find its value. |2002]
Solution:
Distance between A and B = 400 km.
Speed of aeroplane onward journey = x km/hr.
and Speed of aeroplane on return journey = (x + 40) km/hr.
Now time taken for onward journey = \(\frac { 400 }{ x }\) hrs.


Which is not possible being negative
or x – 160 = 0, then x = 160
x = 160

Question 5.
Rs. 6,500 were divided equally among a certain number of persons. Had there been 15 persons more, each would have got Rs. 30 less. Find the original number of persons.
Solution:
Let original number of persons = x
Amount = Rs. 6,500

⇒ 30x² + 450x – 97500 = 0 (Dividing by 30)
⇒ x² + 15x – 3250 = 0
⇒ x² + 65x – 50x – 3250 = 0
⇒ x (x + 65) – 50 (x + 65) = 0
⇒ (x + 65) (x – 50) = 0
Either x + 65 = 0, then x = -65 which is not possible.
or x – 50 = 0, then x = 50
Original number of persons = 50

Question 6.
A plane left 30 minutes later than the scheduled time and in order to reach its destination 1500 km. away in time, it has to increase its speed by 250 km./hr. from its usual speed. Find its usual speed.
Solution:
Let the usual speed of plane = x km/hr.
Distance = 1500 km.
Increased speed = (x + 250) km./hr.
Now, according to the condition,

⇒ x² + 250x – 750000 = 0
⇒ x² + 1000x – 750x – 750000 = 0
⇒ x (x + 1000) – 750 (x + 1000) = 0
⇒ (x + 1000) (x – 750) = 0
Either x + 1000 = 0, then x = – 1000 But it is not possible.
or x – 750 = 0, then x = 750
Usual speed of plane = 750 km/hr

Question 7.
Two trains leave a railway station at the same time. The first train travels due west and the second train due north. The first train travels 5 km/hr faster than the second train. If after 2 hours, they are 50 km apart, find the average speed of each train.
Solution:
Let the speed of first train = x km/hr.
Then speed of second train = (x – 5) km/ hr.
In 2 hours, first train will travel = 2x km.
and second train will travel = 2 (x – 5) km.
According to the condition,
2x + 2 (x – 5) = 50
⇒ 2x + 2x – 10 = 50
⇒ 4x = 50 + 10 = 60
x = 15 km/hr.
and speed of second train = 15 – 5 = 10 km/hr.

Question 8.
The sum S of first n even natural numbers is given by the relation S = n (n + 1). Find n if the sum is 420.
Solution:
S = n (n + 1) and x = 420
⇒ n (n + 1) = 420
⇒ n² + n – 420 = 0
⇒ n² + 21n – 20n – 420 = 0
⇒ n (n + 21) – 20 (n + 21) = 0
⇒ (n + 21) (n – 20) = 0
Either n + 21 =0, then n = -21 which is not possible as it is negative
or n – 20 = 0 then n = 20

Question 9.
The Sum of the ages of a father and his son is 45 years. Five year ago, the product of their ages (in years) was 124. Determine their present ages.
Solution:
Let age of father = x years
Then age of his son = (45 – x) years (sum = 45 years)
5 years ago,
The age of father = (x – 5) years
and age of son = 45 – x – 5 = (40 – x) years
According to the condition,
(x – 5) (40 – x) = 124
⇒ 40x – x² – 200 + 5x = 124
⇒ -x² + 45x – 200 – 124 = 0
⇒ -x² + 45x – 324 = 0
⇒ x² – 45x + 324 = 0
⇒ x² – 36x – 9x + 324 = 0
⇒ x (x – 36) – 9 (x – 36) = 0
⇒ (x – 36) (x – 9) = 0
Either x – 36 = 0, then x = 36
or x – 9 = 0, then x = 9, but it is not possible as age of father cannot be less than his son.
Age of father = 36 years
and age of son = 45 – 36 = 9 years

Question 10.
In an auditorium, seats were arranged in rows and columns. The number of rows w as equal to the number of seats in each row. When the number of rows was doubled and the number of seats in each row was reduced by 10, the total number of seats increased by 300. Find :
(i) the number of rows in the original arrangement.
(ii) the number of seats in the auditorium after re-arrangement. [2003]
Solution:
Let the number of rows in the auditorium = x
No. of seats in each row = x
and no. of total seats in the auditorium =
x x x = x²
In second case,
No. of rows = 2x
and no. of seats in each row = x – 10
Then the total seats will = x² + 300
Now, according to the condition,
2x (x – 10) = x² + 300
⇒ 2x² – 20x = x² + 300
⇒ 2x² – x² – 20x – 300 = 0
⇒ x² – 30x + 10x – 300 = 0
⇒ x (x – 30) + 10 (x – 30) = 0
⇒ (x – 30) (x + 10) = 0 (Zero Product Rule)
Either x – 30 = 0, then x = 30
or x + 10 = 0, then x = -10 Which not possible.
(i) No. of rows in original arrangement = 30
(ii) and no. of seats after re-arrangements = x² + 300 = (30)2 + 300 = 900 + 300 = 1200

Question 11.
Mohan takes 16 days less than Manoj to do a piece of work. If both working together can do it in 15 days, how many days will Mohan alone complete the work?
Solution:
Let time taken by Mohan = x days
Time taken by Manoj = (x + 16) days

⇒ 30x + 240 = x² + 16x
⇒ x² + 16x – 30x – 240 = 0
⇒ x² – 14x – 240 = 0
⇒ x² – 24x + 10x – 240 = 0
⇒ x (x – 24) + 10 (x – 24) = 0
⇒ (x + 10) (x – 24) = 0
Either x + 10 = 0, then .x = -10 But it is not possible
or x – 24 = 0, then x = 24
Mohan can do the work in = 24 days

Question 12.
Two years ago. a man’s age was three times the square of his son’s age. In three years time, his age will be four times his son’s age. Find their present ages.
Solution:
2 years ago,
let son’s age = x
Man’s age = 3x
Son’s present age = x + 2
and man’s age = 3x² + 2
and 3 years after,
Son’s age = x + 2 + 3 = x + 5
Man’s age 3x² + 2 + 3 = 3x² + 5
According to condition,
3x² + 5 = 4 (x + 5)
⇒ 3x² + 5 = 4x + 20
⇒ 3x² – 4x + 5 – 20 = 0
⇒ 3x² – 4x – 15 = 0
⇒ 3x² – 9x + 5x – 15 = 0
⇒ 3x (x – 3) + 5 (x – 3) = 0
⇒ (x – 3) (3x + 5) = 0
Either x – 3 = 0, then x = 3
or 3x + 5 = 0, then 3x = -5 ⇒ x = \(\frac { -5 }{ 3 }\)
But it is not possible.
x = 3
Son’s present age = x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 years
and man’s present age = 3x² + 2 = 3(3)² + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29 years

Question 13.
In a certain positive fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator by 3. If 1 is subtracted from the numerator and the denominator both. the fraction reduces by \(\frac { 1 }{ 14 }\) Find the fraction.
Solution:
In first case.
Let numerator of a fraction = x
then, its denominator = x + 3

Question 14.
In a two digit number, the ten’s digit is bigger. The product of the digits is 27 and the difference between two digits is 6. Find the number.
Solution:
Difference of digits = 6
Let one’s digit = x
Then ten’s digit = x + 6
and number = x + 10 (x + 6) = x + 10x + 60 = 11x + 60
But product of digits = 27
x (x + 6) = 27
⇒ x² + 6x – 27 = 0
⇒ x² + 9x – 3x – 27 = 0
⇒ x (x + 9) – 3 (x + 9) = 0
⇒ (x + 9) (x – 3) = 0
Either x + 9 = 0, then x = – 9 But it is not possible
or x – 3 = 0, then x = 3
Number = 11x + 60 = 11 x 3 + 60 = 33 + 60 = 93

Question 15.
Some school children on an excursion by a bus to a picnic spot at a distance of 300 km. While returning, it was raining and the bus had to reduce its speed by 5 km/ hr and it took two hours longer for returning. Find the time taken to return.
Solution:
Distance = 300 km.
Let speed of the bus = x km/hr.

⇒ x² – 5x = 750
⇒ x² – 5x – 750 = 0
⇒ x² – 30x + 25x – 750 = 0
⇒ x (x – 30) + 25 (x – 30) = 0
⇒ (x – 30) (x + 25) = 0
Either x – 30 = 0, then x = 30
or x + 25 = 0, then x = -25, but it is not possible as it is negative
Speed of the bus = 30 km/hr
and time taken while returning = \(\frac { 300 }{ x }\) = \(\frac { 300 }{ 25 }\) = 12 hours

Question 16.
Rs. 480 is divided equally among ‘x’ children. If the number of children were 20 more then each would have got Rs. 12 less. Find ‘x’.
Solution:
Total amount = Rs. 480
Number of children = x

⇒ x² + 20x – 800 = 0
⇒ x² + 40x – 20x – 800 – 0
⇒ x (x + 40) – 20 (x + 40) = 0
⇒ (x + 40) (x – 20) = 0
Either x + 40 = 0, then x = – 40 which is not possible being negative
or x – 20 = 0 then x = 20
Number of children = 20

Question 17.
A bus covers a distance of 240 km at a uniform speed. Due to heavy rain its speed gets reduced by 10 km/h and as such it takes two hrs longer to covers the total distance. Assuming the uniform speed to be ‘x’ km/h, form an equation and solve it to evaluate ‘x’ (2016)
Solution:
Let the original speed be x km/hr
Time taken by the bus with moving at speed x km/h = \(\frac { 240 }{ x }\)
Time taken by the bus with moving at speed (x – 10) km/h = \(\frac { 240 }{ x – 10 }\)
According to the given condition,

⇒ x (x – 10) = 10 x 120
⇒ x² – 10x = 1200
⇒ x² – 10x – 1200 = 0
⇒ x² – 40x + 30x – 1200 = 0
⇒ x (x – 40) + 30 (x – 40) = 0
⇒ (x – 40) (x + 30) = 0
⇒ x – 40 = 0 or x + 30 = 0
⇒ x = 40 or x = -30
Since, the speed cannot be negative, the uniform speed is 40 km/h

Question 1.
The following distribution represents the height of 160 students of a school

Draw an ogive for the given distribution taking 2 cm = 5 cm of height on one axis and 2 cm = 20 students on the other axis. Using the graph, determine :
(i) The median height.
(ii) The inter quartile range.
(iii) The number of students whose height is above 172 cm
Solution:
The cumulative frequency table may be prepared as follows :


Now, we take height along x-axis and number of students along the y-axis. Now, plot the point (145, 12), (150, 32), (155, 62), (160, 100), (165, 124), (170, 140), (175, 152) and (180, 160). On the graph paper and join them with free hand.
(i) Here N = 160 ⇒ \(\frac { N }{ 2 }\) = 80
Which is even now take a point A on the y-axis representing 80. Through A draw horizontal line meeting the ogive at B. From B, draw BC ⊥ x-axis, meeting the x-axis at C.
The abscissa of C is 157.5 So, median = 157.5 cm
(ii) Proceeding in the same way as we have done in above, we have, Q₁ = 152 and Q₃ = 164
So, inter quartile range = Q₃ – Q₁ = 164 – 152 = 12 cm
(iii) From the ogive, we see that the number of students whose height is less than 172 is 145.
No. of students whose height is above 172 cm = 160 – 145 = 15

From A, draw a line segment perpendicular to, x-axis meeting at B.
∴ B is the median = 43 (approx.)
No. of students who obtained upto 75% marks in the test =111
∴ No. of students who obtained more than 75% = 120- 111 =9

Question 4.
The mean of 1, 7, 5, 3, 4, and 4 is m. The numbers 3,2,4,2,3,3 and p have mean m-1 and median q. Find p and q.
Solution:
Mean of 1,7, 5, 3,4, and 4 = \(\frac { 24 }{ 6 }\) =4
∴ m = 4.
Now mean of 3,2,4,2,3,3 and p = m- 1= 4- 1 = 3
i.e. 17+p = 3xn when n =7
17 + p = 3×7 = 21
⇒ p = 21 – 17 = 4
Median of 3, 2,4,2, 3, 3 and 3 is q
Arranging in ascending order, 2,2, 3,3,3,3,4,4
Mean = 4th terms is 3.
∴ q = 3

From the Curve Q₃ = 23.2
(iii) Lower-quartile = 100 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\)=25th term
From the curve Q₁ = 12.8
∴ Inter-quartile range = Q₃– Q₁ = 23.2 – 12.8
= 10.4 thousands
(iv) 15% of 100 students = \(\frac { 100 x 15 }{ 100 }\) = 15
From C.F. 15, draw a horizontal line which intersects the curve at P. From P, draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at 11.2

(ii) lower quartile.
(iii) number of students who obtained more than 85% marks in the test.
(iv) number of students failed, If the pass percentage was 35. (2014)
Solution:


N= 100
Median = \(\frac { 100 }{ 2 }\) = 50th term Median = 45
(ii) Lower quartile : (Q1)
N = 100
⇒ \(\frac { N }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 100 }{ 4 }\) = 25
∴ Q1 = 32
(iii) Mo. of students with 85% less = 94
∴ More than 85% marks = 100 94 6
(iv) Number of students who did not pass = 30

Question 21.
The marks obtained by 30 students in a eiass assessment of 5 marks is given below :

Calculate the mean, median and mode of the above distribution. (2015)
Solution:


Which is between 10 and 20
∴ Median = 3
(ii) Mode frequency of 3 is the greatest
∴ Mode = 3

Question 22.
The weight of 50 workers is given below :

Draw an ogive of the given distribution using a graph sheet. Take 2 cm = 10 kg on one axis and 2 cm = 5 workers along the other axis. Use the ogive drawn to estimate the following:
(i) the upper and lower quartiles.
(ii) if weighing 95 Kg and above is considered overweight, find the number of workers who are overweight. (2015)
Solution:
Plot the points (60, 4), (70, 11), (80, 22), (90, 36), (100, 42) (110, 47) and (120, 50) on the graph and join them in order with free hand.
This is the required ogive


(i) Upper Quartile = \(\frac { 50 x 3 }{ 4 }\) th term = \(\frac { 150 }{ 4 }\) th = -37.5th term
Lower Quartile = \(\frac { 50 }{ 4 }\) th = 12.5th term
Upper quartile is 42 kg and lower quartile is 72 kg.
(ii) 95 kg and above are over weight
∴ No. of over weight students are 50 – 39 = 11 students.

Question 23.
The mean of following number is 68. Find the value of ‘x’. 45, 52, 60, x, 69, 70, 26, 81 and 94. Hence estimate the median. (2016)
Solution:

Question 24.
The table shows the distribution of the scores obtained by 160 shooters in a shooting competition. Use a graph sheet and draw an ogive for the distribution. (Take 2 cm = 10 scores on the X-axis and 2 cm = 20 shooters on the Y-axis). (2016)

Use your graph to estimate the following :
(i) The median.
(ii) The interquartile range.
(iii) The number of shooters who obtained a score of more than 85%.
Solution:


Through mark 80 on y-axis, draw a horizontal line which meets the ogive drawn at point Q.
Through Q, draw a vertical line which meets the x-axis at the mark of 43(app.).
∴ Median = 43
(ii) Since the number of terms = 160


(iii) Since 85% scores = 85% of 100 = 85
Through mark for 85 on x-axis, draw a vertical line which meets the ogive drawn at point B.
Through the point B, draw a horizontal line which meets thej-axis at the mark of 148 = 160- 148= 12
So, the number of shooters who obtained more than 85% score is 12.

Question 25.
The histogram below represents the scores obtained by 25 students in a Mathematics mental test. Use the data to :
(i) Frame a frequency distribution table
(ii) To calculate mean
(iii) To determine the Modal class

Solution:

(iii) Here the maximum class frequency is 8, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 20-30. So, the modal class is 20-30.

Question 1.
Which term of the G.P. :
– 10, \(\frac { 5 }{ \surd 3 } ,-\frac { 5 }{ 6 } ,….-\frac { 5 }{ 72 } ? \)
Solution:
– 10, \(\frac { 5 }{ \surd 3 } ,-\frac { 5 }{ 6 } ,….\)
Here a = – 10
r = \(\frac { 5 }{ \surd 3 } \div \left( -10 \right) \)

n – 1 = 4
=> n = 4 + 1 = 5
It is 5th term

Question 2.
The fifth term of a G.P. is 81 and its second term is 24. Find the geometric progression.
Solution:
In a G.P.
T₅ = ar⁴ = 81
