Question 41.


If 3 is a factor of 14pq, then 3 is also a factor of 28p2q.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     4yz
  4.     4xyz
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

14pq itself is a factor of 28p2q. Thus, any factor of 14pq will also be a factor of 28p2q.


Question 42.


The value of  x(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)x(x+1) is __________.


  1.     (x+2)
  2.     (x + 2) (x + 3)
  3.     (x+3)
  4.     x(x+1)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (x + 2) (x + 3)
:
B

Given,
x(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)x(x+1)
On cancelling the common terms x and (x+1) , we get 
(x+2)(x+3)


Question 43.


Find the common factor between
2t,3t2and 4.


  1.     3
  2.     2
  3.     1
  4.     t
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1
:
C

2t, 3t2 and 4 can be factorized as,
2t=1×2×t
3t2=1×3×t×t
4=1×2×2 
Hence, 1 is the only common factor among all three.


Question 44.


Factorise:4y212y+9


  1.     (7y5)(7y5)
  2.     (5y3)(5y3)
  3.     (2y3)(2y3)
  4.     (2y5)(2y5)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (2y3)(2y3)
:
C

The given expression can be rewritten as,
(2y)22(2y)(3)+32.
Comparing with the identity
(ab)2=a22ab+b2
we get,
(2y)22(2y)(3)+32
=(2y3)2
=(2y3)(2y3)


Question 45.


The factors of  ax + bx - ay - by are __________.


  1.     (a + b) and (x + y)
  2.     (a - b) and (x - y)
  3.     (a + b) and (x - y)
  4.     (a - b) and (x + y)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (a + b) and (x - y)
:
C

We need to regroup ax  + bx - ay - by


We get x(a+b) - y(a+b)


Taking (a+b) common from both the terms we get (a+b)(x-y)
Thus, (a+b) and (x-y) is the factors of  ax  + bx - ay - by


Question 46.


Which among the following is not a factor of  4y(y+3)?


  1.     y2 + 3y
  2.     4y2
  3.     4(y + 3)
  4.     4y
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4y2
:
B

4y(y+3) can be written as
4×y×(y+3) 
=4y×(y+3)=4(y+3)×y
=4×y(y+3) 
=4×(y2+3y)
=4y2+12y 

So, 4y2 is a term in the expansion of 4y(y+3). It is not a factor.


Question 47.


4x2 is a factor of 4x(x+3)


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     4(y + 3)
  4.     4y
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

4x(x+3) = 4x2 + 3
So, 4x2 is a term of a given expression. 4x2 + 3 is not divisible by 4x2.
So, 4x2 is not a factor of 4x2+3.
The factors of  4x(x+3) are 
4,x and (x+3)


Question 48.


Which of the following is/are the irreducible factor(s) of 3m2+9m+6?


  1.     3
  2.     m+2
  3.     m+3
  4.     m+1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> m+2
:
A, B, and D

Given, the expression is
3m2+9m+6.
Taking 3 common from the above expression, we get
 3(m2+3m+2) ...(i)

Now comparing m2+3m+2 with the identity x2+(a+b)x+ab.
We note that,
(a+b)=3 and ab=2.
So,
2+1=3 and (2)(1)=2
Hence,
m2+3m+2
=m2+2m+m+2
=m(m+2)+1(m+2)
=(m+2)(m+1)
Now from (i), we get
3m2+9m+6=3(m2+3m+2)=3(m+2)(m+1)
Therefore,
3, (m+2) and (m+1) are the 3 irreducible factors of the given expression.


Question 49.


One of the factors of x22x15 is:


  1.     x+3
  2.     x-3
  3.     x+5
  4.     x - 15
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> x+3
:
A

The given expression is
x22x15
We have to split the middle term in such a way the sum is -2 and product is -15 , which can be done in following way
=x25x+3x15=x(x5)+3(x5)
=(x+3)(x5)


So, x+3 is one of the factors of the given expression.


Question 50.


If 14 is the HCF of 4p and 21q, then minimum value of p and q are:


  1.     p = 7, q = 2
  2.     p = 2, q = 7
  3.     p = 14, q = 3
  4.     None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> p = 7, q = 2
:
A

Since 14 is HCF of 4p and 21q, then both of them should have 7 and 2 as prime factors.
4p = 2 x 2 x p 
21q = 3 x 7 x q
Since 14 is the HCF, p should be 7 and q should be 2.
