Question. Some students planned a picnic. The total budget for food was ₹ 2,000. But 5 students failed to attend the picnic and thus the cost of food for each member increased by ₹ 20. How many students attended the picnic and how much did each student pay for the food? 
Solution. Case I. Let number of students = x
and cost of food for each member = ₹ y
Then x × y = 2,000 …(i)(1)
Case II. New number of students = x – 5
New cost of food for each member = ₹ (y + 20)
Then (x – 5)(y + 20) = 2,000
fi xy + 20x – 5y – 100 = 2,000 …(ii)(1)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
∴ x = –20, 25 (1)
x = –20 is rejected because number of students can’t be
negative.
So, x = 25
∴ y = 80 
Number of students = 25
Cost of food for each student = ₹ 80.

Solution. Let the two consecutive odd numbers be x and x + 2.
∴ x2 + (x + 2)2 = 394 ⇒ x2 + x2 + 4 + 4x = 394
⇒ 2x2 + 4x + 4 = 394 ⇒ 2x2 + 4x – 390 = 0
⇒ x2 + 2x – 195 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 15x – 13x – 195 = 0
⇒ x (x + 15) – 13 (x + 15) = 0 ⇒ (x – 13) (x + 15) = 0
Either x – 13 = 0 or x + 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 13 or x = – 15 (neglected)
When first number x = 13, then second number x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15.

Question. Two pipes running together can fill a cistern in 3,1/13 hours. If one pipe takes 3 hours more than the other to fill it, find the time in which each pipe would fill the cistern.
Solution. Let time taken by faster pipe to fill the cistern be x hrs.
Therefore, time taken by slower pipe to fill the cistern = (x + 3) hrs
Since the faster pipe takes x minutes to fill the cistern.
∴ Portion of the cistern filled by the faster pipe in one hour = 1/x 
Portion of the cistern filled by the slower pipe in one hour = 1/x + 3
Portion of the cistern filled by the two pipes together in one hour = 1/40/30 = 13/40

Question. In the centre of a rectangular lawn of dimensions 50 m × 40 m, a rectangular pond has to be constructed so that the area of the grass surrounding the pond would be 1184 m2. Find the length and breadth of the pond.   
Solution. Let ABCD be a rectangular lawn and EFGH be rectangular pond. Let x m be the width of grass area, same around the pond.
Now, length of lawn = 50 m, width of lawn = 40 m
∴ Length of pond = (50 – 2x) m, width of pond = (40 – 2x) m
Since area of grass surrounds the pond = 1184 m2
⇒ Area of lawn – Area of pond = 1184 m2
⇒ 50 × 40 – (50 – 2x) (40 – 2x) = 1184

Assignments For Class 10 Mathematics Quadratic Equation

⇒ 2000 – (2000 – 80x – 100x + 4x2) = 1184
⇒ 4x2 – 180 x + 1184 = 0 or x2 – 45x + 296 = 0 fi x2 – 37x – 8x + 296 = 0
⇒ (x – 37) (x – 8) = 0 fi x = 37, 8
Since x = 37 is not possible, as otherwise the length of pond will be negative.
Hence, x = 8 is the required solution.
∴ Length of pond = 50 – 2 × 8 = 34 m
and breadth of pond = 40 – 2 × 8 = 24 m

Question. Show that if the roots of the following quadratic equation are equal, then ad = bc x2(a2 + b2) + 2(ac + bd)x + (c2 + d2) = 0
Solution. Given, quadratic equation is :
x2(a2 + b2) + 2(ac + bd)x + (c2 + d2) = 0
whose roots are equal.
To Prove : ad = bc
Proof : In the given equation,
A = a2 + b2
B = 2(ac + bd)
C = c2 + d2
Since, roots of the given equation are equal.
∴ Discriminant B2 – 4AC = 0
[2(ac + bd)]2 – 4 × (a2 + b2) (c2 + d2) = 0
⇒ 4(ac + bd)2 – 4(a2c2 + b2c2 + a2d2 + b2d2) =0
⇒ 4(a2c2 + b2d2 + 2abcd) – 4a2c2 – 4b2c2
– 4a2d2 – 4b2d2 = 0
⇒8abcd – 4a2d2 – 4b2c2 = 0
⇒ a2.b2 + b2c2 – 2abcd = 0
⇒ (ad – bc)2 = 0
On taking square-root on both sides
⇒ ad – bc = 0
⇒ ad = bc
Hence, proved.

Question. For what positive values of k, does the quadratic equation 3x2 – kx + 3 = 0 not have real roots ? 
Solution. Given: quadratic equation 3x2 – kx + 3 = 0, has no real roots.
On comparing the given equation with ax2 + bx
+ c = 0, we have:
a = 3, b = – k, c = 3
Then, discriminant,
D = b2 – 4ac
= (– k)2 – 4 × 3 × 3
= k2 – 36
But for no real roots, D < O
Then k2 – 36 < 0
⇒ k2 < 36
⇒ k < ± 6
⇒ k > – 6 or k < 6
Hence, the value of k < 6 (positive value) for no real roots.

Question. A quadratic equation with integral coefficient has integral roots. Justify your answer.
Solution. No, the given statement is not always true.
Consider the quadratic equation
8x2 – 2x – 1 = 0
By splitting the middle term,
8x2 – 4x + 2x – 1 = 0
4x(2x – 1) + 1(2x – 1) = 0
(4x + 1)(2x – 1) = 0
If 4x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = –1/4
2x – 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1/2
So, the given equation has integral coefficients but no integral roots.
Hence, the given statement is false.

ax2 + bx + x = 0
we get a = √2 , b = 7, c = 5 √2
Then, discriminant,
D = b2 – 4ac
= (7)2 – 4 × √2 × 5 √2
= 49 – 40 = 9
Now, x = −b ± √D/ 2a
= −7 ± √9 / 2 √2 = −7 ± 3 / 2 √2
∴ x = -4/ 2 √3 and -10/ 2√3
= -2 √3 and – 5 √3
Hence, the roots of the given equation is -2/ √3 and -5/ √3

Question. If b = 0 and c < 0, is it true that the roots of x2 + bx + c = 0 are numerically equal and opposite in sign ? 
Solution. It is given that b = 0 and c < 0.
The given quadratic equation is:
x2 + bx + c = 0
On putting b = 0 in this equation, we get
x2 + 0.x + c = 0
x2 + c = 0
⇒ x2 = –c
Here, c < 0 ⇒ –c > 0
⇒ x = ± –c
Hence, the roots of x2 + bx + c = 0 are numerically equal and opposite in sign.

Question. Find the value of k for which the equation x2 + k(2x + k – 1) + 2 = 0 has real and equal roots. 
Solution. Given, quadratic equation is:
x2 + 2xk + (k2 – k + 2) = 0
On comparing the quadratic equation, with ax2
+ bx + c = 0, we get:
a = 1, b = 2k, c = k2 – k + 2
Since, the roots of the above equation are real and equal.
∴ Discriminant, D = 0
i.e., b2 – 4ac = 0
(2k)2 – 4 × 1 × (k2 – k + 2) = 0
⇒ 4k2 – 4k2 + 4k – 8 = 0
⇒ 4k – 8 = 0
⇒ k = 2
Hence, the value of k is 2.

Question. If x = 2/ 3 and x = – 3 are roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + 7x + b = 0, find the values of a and b.
Solution. Since x = 2/ 3 and x = – 3 are the roots of the
quadratic equation
ax2 + 7x + b = 0
Now, sum of roots:
2 /3 + (- 3 ) = – 7/ a
⇒ – 7 /3 = – 7/ a ⇒ a = 3.
Product of roots:
⇒ 2/3 × (- 3 ) = b/ a
⇒ – 2 = b /3 [… a = 3]
⇒ b = – 6
Hence, the values of a and b are 3 and –6 respectively.

Question. If a and b are the roots of the equation x2 + ax – b = 0, then find a and b. 
Solution. x2 + ax – b = 0
Sum of the roots = a + b
= Coefficient of x /Coefficient of x2 = -a
Product of roots = ab
= constant term / Coefficient of x2 = b
So, a + b = –a
⇒ b = –2a
and, ab = –b
⇒ a = –1
Putting the value of a, we get
b = –2 × (–1) = 2
Hence, a = –1 and b = 2.

Question. Solve for x :
x + 3 / x + 2 = 3x – 7/2x -3 , X  2 , 3/2
Solution. ⇒ (x + 3) (2x – 3) = (x + 2) (3x – 7)
⇒ 2x2 + 6x – 3x – 9 = 3x2 + 6x – 7x – 14
⇒ 2x2 – 3x2 + 3x + x – 9 + 14 = 0
⇒ – x2 + 4x + 5 = 0
⇒ x2 – 4x – 5 = 0
⇒ x2 – 5x + x – 5 = 0
(on splitting the middle term)
⇒ x (x – 5) + 1(x – 5) = 0
⇒ (x + 1) (x – 5) = 0
⇒ x = – 1, 5
Hence, the values of x are – 1 and 5.

Question. Determine the condition for one root of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 to be thrice the other. 
Solution. Let the roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c be α and 3α.
Then, sum of the roots = α + 3α
= 4α = − b /a
α= − b/ 4a
Product of the roots = α × 3α
= 3α2 = c/a
3 (−ba/4a) = c/a
3b2/ 16a2 = c/a

Question. The sum of the areas of two squares is 157 m2. If the sum of their perimeters is 68 m, find the sides of the two squares.
Solution. Let ‘x’ and ‘y’ be the length of the sides of the two squares.the, area of first square = (side)2 = x2 
area of second square = (side)2 = y2
According to the question,
x2 + y2 = 157
Now, the perimeter of the first square = 4 × side = 4x
Perimeter of the second square = 4 × side = 4y
According to the question:
4x + 4y = 68
or x + y = 17
y = 17 – x …(ii)
Put the value of ‘y’ from equation (ii), in equation (i).
⇒ x2 + (17 – x)2 = 157
⇒ x2 + 289 + x2 – 34x – 157 = 0
⇒ 2x2 – 34x + 132 = 0
⇒ x2 – 17x + 66 = 0
⇒ (x – 6) (x – 11) = 0
∴ x = 6 or 11
When, x = 6, then y = 11
when, x = 11, then y = 6
Hence, the sides of the squares are 6 m and 11m.

Question. Write all the values of p for which the quadratic equation x2 + px + 16 = 0 has equal roots. Find the roots of the equation so obtained. 
Solution. Given equation: x2 + px + 16 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = p, c = 16
Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac
= p2 – 4 × 1 × 16
= p2 – 64
If roots are equal, then:
D = 0
i.e. p2 – 64 = 0
⇒ p2 = 64
⇒ p = ± 8
∴ Equation is x2 ± 8x + 16 = 0
⇒ (x ± 4)2 = 0    [∵ (a + b)2 = a2 ± 2ab + b2]
⇒ x ± 4 = 0
⇒ x = – 4, 4
Hence, roots are x = – 4 and x = 4 and the values of p are – 8 and 8.

Solution. Let two successive integral multiples of 5 be x and (x + 5)
According to question,
x(x + 5) = 1050
x2 + 5x – 1050 = 0
(x – 30) (x + 35) = 0
x = 30 or –35
When x = 30,
Multiples are 30 and 30 + 5 = 35
When x = –35,
Multiples are –35 and –35 + 5 = –30

Question. If the equation (1 + m2)x2 + 2 mcx + c2 – a2 = 0 has equal roots then show that c2 = a2(1 + m2).
Solution. Given: A quadratic equation is :
(1 + m2)x2 + 2 mcx + c2 – a2 = 0
To prove: (1 + m2) x2 + 2mcx + c2 – a2 = 0, with
equal roots c2 = a2 (1 + m2)
we get
A = 1 + m2, B = 2 mc, C = c2 – a2
The roots of the given equation is equal, then
Discriminant, D = 0
∴ B2 – 4AC = 0
(2 mc)2 – 4 × (1 + m2) (c2 – a2) = 0
⇒ 4m2c2 – 4(c2 + c2m2 – a2 – a2m2) = 0
⇒ 4m2c2 – 4c2 – 4c2m2 + 4a2 + 4m2a2 = 0
⇒ m2a2 + a2 – c2 = 0
⇒ c2 = m2a2 + a2
⇒ c2 = a2 (1 + m2) Hence, proved

Question. Find the dimensions of a rectangular park whose perimeter is 60 m and area 200 m2
Solution. Let ‘l‘ be the length and ‘b’ be the breadth of the rectangular park.
Perimeter of the park, p = 2(l + b)
Area of the park, A = l × b
According to the given conditions:
2(l + b) = 60
⇒ l + b = 30
⇒ l = 30 – b ….(i)
and lb = 200
(30 – b)b = 200 from (i)]
⇒ 30b – b2 = 200
b2 – 30b – 200 = 0
on splitting the middle term, we get:
⇒ b2 – 20b – 10b + 200 = 0
⇒ (b – 20) (b – 10) = 0
⇒ b = 20 or 10
when b = 20m, l = 10 m
when b = 10m, l = 20 m
Hence, the length and breadth of the rectangle are 10 m and 20 m or 20 m and 10 m respectively.

Question. A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. In the speed had been 5 km/hr more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train. 
Solution. Let, the actual speed of the train be ‘x’ km/hr.
Time taken by the train at actual speed,
t1 = 360 /x hr
Increased speed of the train = (x + 5) km / hr
Time taken by the train at the increased speed t2 = 360/ x + 5. hr 
According to the given condition:
t1 – t2 = 1
⇒ 360/x – 360/ x + 5 = 1
⇒ 360 (x + 5- 5 x)/ (x + 5) x = 1
⇒ 360 × 5 = x2 + 5x
⇒ x2 + 5x – 1800 = 0
⇒ x2 + 5x – 1800 = 0
⇒ x2 + 45x – 40x – 1800 = 0
⇒ x(x + 45) – 40(x + 45) = 0
⇒ (x – 40) (x + 45) = 0
⇒ x = 40 [∵ x = – 45, is
not possible as speed cannot be negative]
Hence, the actual speed of the train is 40 km/hr.

⇒ – ab = ax + bx + x2
⇒ x2 + ax + bx + ab = 0
⇒ x(x + a) + b(x + a) = 0
⇒ (x + b) (x + a) = 0
⇒ x = – a, – b
Hence, the values of x are – a and – b.

Question. Find a natural number whose square diminished by 84 is equal to thrice of 8 more than the given number. 
Solution. Let n be the required natural number.
According to the question:
Square of natural number diminished by
84 gives n2 – 84.
Thrice of 8 more than given number = 3(8 + n).
According to the question,
n2 – 84 = 3(8 + n)
⇒ n2 – 84 = 24 + 3n
⇒ n2 – 3n – 108 = 0
Splitting the middle term, we have
⇒ n2 – 12n + 9n – 108 = 0
⇒ n(n –12) + 9(n – 12) = 0
⇒ (n – 12)(n + 9) = 0
n = 12 or n = –9
But n ≠- 9 as n is a natural number.
Hence, the required natural number is 12.

Question. A natural number, when increased by 12, equals 160 times its reciprocal. Find the number.
Solution. Let n be the required natural number.
According to the question, number when
increased by 12 is n + 12.
160 times number’s reciprocal = 160 (1/n ) = 160/n
⇒ n(n + 12) = 160
⇒ n2 + 12n – 160 = 0
Splitting the middle term, we have
n2 + 20n – 8n – 160 = 0
n(n + 20) – 8(n + 20) = 0
(n + 20)(n – 8) = 0
n = –20 or 8
But n ≠ -20 as n is a natural number.
Hence, the required number is 8.

Question. At t minutes past 2 pm, the time needed by the minutes hand of a clock to show 3 pm was found to be 3 minutes less than t2/4 minutes. Find t.
Solution. It is given that at t minutes past 2 pm, the time needed by the minute hand to show 3 pm was found to be 3 minutes less than t2/4 min.
⇒ t + (t2/ 4 – 3) = 60 
[ ∴ time between 2 pm and 3 pm
= 1 hour = 60 min.]
⇒ 4t + t2 – 12 = 240
⇒ t2 + 4t – 12 – 240 = 0
⇒ t2 + 4t – 252 = 0
Splitting the middle term, we have
t2 + 18t – 14t – 252 = 0
⇒ t(t + 18) –14(t + 18) = 0
⇒ (t + 18)(t – 14) = 0
t = –18 or t = 14.
But t ≠ -18 as time cannot be negative
⇒ t = 14
Hence, the required value of t is 14 minutes.

Question. A plane left 30 minutes later than the scheduled time and in order to reach its destination 1500 km away on time it has to increase its speed by 250 km/hr from its usual speed. Find the usual speed of the plane. 
Solution. Let ‘x’ km / hr be the speed of the plane.
Increased speed = (x + 250) km / hr   67
⇒ x2 + 250 x = 250 × 3000
⇒ x2 + 250 x – 750000 = 0
⇒ x2 + 1000 x – 750 x – 750000 = 0
⇒ x (x + 1000) – 750 (x + 1000) = 0
⇒ (x – 750) (x + 1000) = 0
⇒ x = 750 or – 1000
⇒ x = 750 [∵ speed cannot be negative]
Hence, the usual speed of the plane is 750 km/hr.

Question. If Zeba were younger by 5 years than what she really is, then the square of her age (in years) would have been 11 more than five times her actual age. What is her age now?
Solution. Let actual age of Zeba be x years.
Her age when she was 5 years younger
= (x – 5) years.
According to the condition given in question:
Square of her age = 11 more than 5 times her actual age
(x – 5)2 = 11 + 5(x)
⇒ x2 + 25 – 10x = 11 + 5x
[ a (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab]
⇒ x2 – 10x – 5x + 25 – 11 = 0
⇒ x – 15x + 14 = 0
Splitting the middle term, we have
⇒ x2 – 14x – x + 14 = 0
⇒ x(x – 14) –1(x – 14) = 0
⇒ (x – 14)(x – 1) = 0
⇒ x = 14 or x = 1
But x ≠ +1 as in that case (x – 5) will not be possible
⇒ x = 14
Hence, Zeba’s age now is 14 years.

Question. At present, Asha’s age (in years) is 2 more than the square of her daughter Nisha’s age. When Nisha grows to her mother’s present age, Asha’s age would be one year less than 10 times the present age of Nisha. Find the present ages of both Asha and Nisha.
Solution. Let Nisha’s present age be x years.
Then, Asha’s present age = (2 + x2) [By the given conditon]
Now, when Nisha grows to her mother’s
present age i.e. after {(x2 + 2) – x} years.
Then, Asha’s age will become {(x2 + 2) – x} years.
Now by the given condition,
Asha’s age = 1 year less than 10 times present age of Nisha.
(2 + x2) + {(x2 + 2) – x} = 10x – 1
⇒ 2 + x2 + x2 + 2 – x = 10x – 1
⇒ 2x2 – 11x + 5 = 0
Splitting the middle term, we have
⇒ 2x2 – 10x – x + 5 = 0
⇒ 2x(x – 5) – 1(x – 5) = 0
⇒ (x – 5)(2x – 1) = 0
⇒ (x – 5)(2x – 1) = 0
⇒ x = 5 or x = 1/2
But x ≠ 1/2 as then Nisha’s age = 1/2 . This means that her mother Asha’s age = (x2 + 2) = (1/4 + 2) = 2, 1/4 years which is not possible.
Hence, the present age of Nisha = 5 years and the present age of Asha = x2 + 2 = 52 + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27 years

Question. In a class test, the sum of Arun’s marks in Hindi and English is 30. Had he got 2 marks more in Hindi and 3 marks less in English, the product of the marks would have been 210. Find his marks in the two subjects. 
Solution. Let, the Arun’s marks in Hindi be x.
Then, marks in English = 30 – x
According to the given condition,
⇒ (x + 2) (30 – x – 3) = 210
⇒ (x + 2) (27 – x) = 210
⇒ 27x + 54 – x2 – 2x = 210
⇒ x2 – 25x + 156 = 0
 x2 − 13x −12x + 156 = 0
 x (x − 13) − 12(x − 13) = 0
⇒ (x – 13) (x – 12) = 0
⇒ x = 13 or 12
When : x = 13
Marks in Hindi = 13
Marks in English = 30 – 13 = 17
When : x = 12
Marks in Hindi = 12
Marks in English = 30 – 12 = 18
Hence, the marks obtained in the two subjects are (13, 17) or (12, 18).

Question. Solve for x : x + 3 /x – 2 -1 – x  = 17/ 4 ; 0, 2 
Solution. x + 3 /x – 2 – (1 – x)  = 17/ 4   75
⇒ (x2 + 3x – 3x + 2 + x2) × 4 = 17(x2 – 2x)
⇒ 4(2x2 + 2) = 17x2 – 34x
⇒ 8x2 + 8 = 17×2 – 34x
⇒ 17x2 – 8x2 – 34x – 8 = 0
⇒ 9x2 – 34x – 8 = 0
⇒ 9x2 – 36x + 2x – 8 = 0
⇒ 9x(x – 4) + 2(x – 4) = 0
⇒ (9x + 2) (x – 4) = 0
⇒ x = – 2/9  , 4
Hence, the values of x are – 2 /9 , 4

Question. A motor boat whose speed is 18 km/hr in still water takes 1 hr more to go 24 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream.
Solution. Let, the speed of the stream be x km/hr.
Speed of the boat in still water = 18 km/hr
∴ The speed of the boat in upstream
= (18 – x) km/hr
The speed of the boat in downstream
= (18 + x) km/hr.
Total distance to be covered = 24 km
∴ Time taken in upstream, t1 = 24 /(18 − x) hr
Time taken in downstream, t2 = 24 (18 + x) hr
According to the question,
24 /18 – x –  24/18 + x = 1
⇒ 24 (18 + x – 18 + x) / (18 – x) (18 + x ) = 1
⇒ 24 × 2x = 324 – x2
⇒ x2 + 48x – 324 = 0
⇒ x2 + 54x – 6x – 324 = 0
⇒ x(x + 54) – 6 (x + 54) = 0
⇒ (x + 54) (x – 6) = 0
x ≠ – 54 (∵ speed can’t be negative)
∴ x = 6
Hence, the speed of the stream is 6 km/hr.

Question. A train travels at a certain average speed for a distance of 63 km and then travels at a distance of 72 km at an average speed of 6 km/hr more than its original speed. If it takes 3 hours to complete total journey, what is the original average speed ? 
Solution. Let the original speed of the train be ‘x’ km/hr.
Increased speed = (x + 6) km/hr
Now, time taken to cover 60 km at original
speed, t1 = 63/ x. hr
Time taken to cover 72 km at increased speed:
t2 = 72 /x + 6. hr
63/x + 72/ x + 6 = 3
⇒ 63 x + 378 + 72x / x (x + 6) = 3
⇒ 135 x + 378 = 3 (x2 + 6x)
⇒ 3x2 + 18x – 135x – 378 = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 117x – 378 = 0
⇒ x2 – 42x + 3x – 126 = 0
⇒ x(x − 42) + 3(x − 42) = 0
⇒ (x – 42) (x + 3) = 0
x = – 3
(∵ speed can’t be negative)
∴ x = 42
Hence, the original average speed of train is 42 km/hr.

Question. The altitude of a right-angled triangle is 7 cm less than its base. If the hypotenuse is 13 cm, then find the other two sides.
Solution. Let, the base of the right angled triangle be ‘x’ m.
Then, the altitude of a right-angled triangle is (x – 7) cm.
And, the hypotenuse of right angled triangle = 13 cm
Then, by the pythagoras theorem
H2 = P2 + B2
⇒ 132 = (x – 7)2 + x2
⇒ 169 = x2 + 49 – 14x + x2
⇒ 2x2 – 14x – 120 = 0
⇒ x2 – 7x – 60 = 0
⇒ x2 – 12x + 5x – 60 = 0
⇒ x(x – 12) + 5(x – 12) = 0
⇒ (x + 5) (x – 12) = 0
⇒ x = 12
(∵ x = – 5 is not possible)
The base of the right angled triangle = 12 cm
and altitude = 12 – 7 = 5 cm.
Hence, the other two sides of triangle are 5 cm and 12 cm.

Question. Find two consecutive odd natural numbers, the sum of whose squares is 394.
Solution. Let, the first number be x
and the second number be (x + 2).
According to the given condition,
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 394
⇒ x2 + x2 + 4 + 4x = 394
⇒ 2x2 + 4x – 390 = 0
⇒ x2 + 2x – 195 = 0
⇒ x2 + 15x – 13x –195 = 0
⇒ x(x + 15) – 13 (x + 15) = 0
⇒ (x – 13) (x + 15) = 0
⇒ x = 13, – 15
x ≠ –15
[∵ natural numbers are negative]
Hence, the two consecutive odd natural numbers are 13 and 15.

Question. A and B working together can do a work in 6 days. If a takes 5 days less than B to finish the work, in how many days can B can do the work alone?
Solution. Let B take ‘x’ days to complete the work.
Then, A takes (x – 5) days to complete the work done.
According to the given condition:
1/ x + 1/ x – 5= 1 / 6
⇒ x – 5 + x /x (x- 5) = 1/ 6
⇒ 6(2x – 5) = x2 – 5x
⇒ x2 – 5x – 12x + 30 = 0
⇒ x2 – 17x + 30 = 0
⇒ x2 – 15x – 2x + 30 = 0
(on splitting the middle term)
⇒ x(x – 15) – 2(x – 15) = 0
⇒ (x − 15)(x − 2) = 0
⇒ x = 2 or 15
But x = 2 is not possible as x < 5.
∴ x = 15
Hence, B takes 15 days to complete the work alone.

Question. Using quadratic formula, solve the following equation for x : 4
abx2 + (b2 – ac)x – bc = 0 
Solution. We have, abx2 + (b2 – ac) x – bc = 0
Comparing this equation with Ax2 + Bx + C = 0, we get
A = ab, B – b2 – ac, C = -bc
∴ D = B2 – 4AC
= (b2 – ac)2 – 4(ab)(-bc)
= b4 + a2c2 – 2ab2c + 4ab2c
= b4 + 2ab2c + a2c2
= (b2 )2 + 2(b2 )(ac) + (ac)2
= (b2 + ac)2 > 0
So, the roots of the given equation are real and are given by :

Question. The sum of the ages of a woman and her daughter is 40 years. The product of their ages five years ago was 125 years. Find their present ages.
Solution. Let the present age of the woman be x years. Then, the present age of her daughter is (40 – x) years.
Five years ago, Age of woman = (x – 5) years
and, Age of daughter = (40 – x – 5) years = (35 – x) years.
According to the given question, (x – 5) (35 – x) = 125
⇒ 35 x – x2 – 175 + 5x – 125 = 0
⇒ x2 – 40 x + 300 = 0
⇒ (x – 30) (x – 10) = 0
⇒ x – 30 = 0 or x – 10 = 0
⇒ x = 30 or x = 10
when, x = 30, then 40 – x = 40 – 30 = 10
Thus, when the woman’s present age is 30 years, her daughter’s present age is 10 years.
When, x = 10, then 40 – x = 40 – 10 = 30, which is absurd, because the woman’s age cannot be less than her daughter’s age.
Hence, present age of woman = 30 years and, present age of daughter = 10 years.

Question. Find the value(s) of k for which the following equation has equal roots.
(k – 12)x2 +2(k – 12)x+2= 0
Solution. We have, (k -12)x2 + 2(k -12)x + 2 = 0
Here, a = k – 12, b = 2 (k – 12), c = 2
∴ D = b2 – 4ac = 4(k – 12)2 – 4 (k – 12) × 2
= 4 (k -12) [(k -12) – 2]
= 4(k -12)(k -14)
The given equation will have equal roots if D = 0.
⇒ 4 (k -12) (k -14) = 0
⇒ k – 12 = 0 or k – 14 = 0
⇒ k = 12 or k = 14 Ans.

Question. By increasing the list price of a book by Rs. 10 a person can buy 10 less books for Rs. 1,200. Find the original list price of the book.

and, the increased list price of a book = Rs. (x + 10)

Question. A plane left 30 minutes later than the schedule 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 the plane be x km/hr. Then
Time taken to cover 1500 km with the usual speed = 1500 / x hrs.
Time taken to cover 1500 km with the speed of (x + 250) km/hr = 1500 / x + 2500 hrs.
According to given question, 1500/x – 1500/ x + 250 = 30/60
⇒ 1500x + 1500 x 250 – 1500x / x(x + 250) = 1/2
⇒ 1500 x 250 / x2 + 250x = 1/2
⇒ x2 + 250x – 750000 = 0
⇒ x2 + 1000x – 750 x – 750000 = 0
⇒ x (x + 1000) – 750 (x + 1000) = 0
⇒ (x – 750) (x + 1000) = 0
⇒ x = 750 or x = – 1000
⇒ x = 750 [∴ speed cannot be negative]
Hence, the usual speed of the plane is 750 km/hr.

Question. A two digit number is such that the product of its digits is 18. When 63 is subtracted from the number, the digits interchange their places. Find the number.

Question. Find the roots of the quadratic equation 8x2 – 22x – 21 = 0 by factorization.
Solution. We have, 8x2 – 22x – 21 = 0
⇒ 8x2 – 28x + 6x – 21 = 0
⇒ 4x (2x – 7) + 3 (2x – 7) = 0
⇒ (4x + 3) (2x – 7) = 0
⇒ 4x + 3 = 0 or 2x – 7 = 0
