Question 21.


With respect to the roots of x22x3=0, we can say that


  1.     both of them are natural numbers
  2.     both of them are integers
  3.     one of the root is zero
  4.     roots are not real
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> both of them are integers
:
B

 Step 1:-   For x22x3=0, value of discriminant
                 D=(2)24(3)(1)=4+12=16.


 Step 2:-  Since, D is a perfect square, roots are rational and unequal.


 Step 3:- Solving the equation,
x=(2)+(16)2 or (2)(16)2
x=3,1
Thus, both of them are integers.

Question 23.


Taylor purchased a rectangular plot of area 634 m2. The length of the plot is 2 m more than thrice its breadth. The length and breadth respectively is _____ (approximate values).


  1.     34.6 m & 11.20 m
  2.     88 m & 24 m
  3.     32 m & 16 m
  4.     44.6 m & 14.20 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 44.6 m & 14.20 m
:
D

Let, Length = x 
Breadth = y
Given,
Area of Rectangle = 634 m2
Length : x
Thrice the breadth : 3y
2 more that thrice : 3y+2
So, x=3y+2
Area of the rectangle=length×breadth
634=xy634=(2+3y)y634=2y+3y23y2+2y634=0
This equation resembles the general form of quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0.
Lets find the values of y satisfying the equation.(Roots of the equation)
y=b ±b2 4ac2a=2 ±22  4×3(634)2 × 3y=2 ±4 + 76086=2 ±76126y=2 ± 87.2466y=2+87.2466 or 287.2466y=14.20 or 14.87
Length is always positive.
y=14.20 m
x=2+3yx=2+3(14.20)=44.6 m
Length =44.6 m 
Breadth =14.2 m


Question 24.


The equation is a quadratic equation : x+51=2x+10x6


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     -2, 0
  4.     ± 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

x+51=2x+10x6  
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 2x + 10
x26x+5x30=2x+10
x23x40=0  is of the form of  ax2+bx+c


Hence, is a quadratic equation.


Question 25.


Find the two consecutive positive integers, such that the sum of their squares is 365.


  1.     17 , 18
  2.     13 , 14
  3.     9 , 10
  4.     12 , 13
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 13 , 14
:
B

Let the numbers be x &  x+1


Square of consecutive number: x2 & (x+1)2
Sum of square: x2+(x+1)2
x2+(x+1)2=365
Lets solve
x2+x2+2x+1=3652x2+2x364=0x2+x182=0
(Dividing by 2)
Factorise,
x2+14x13x182=0x(x+14)13(x+14)=0(x+14)(x13)=0x=13 & 14 
Since numbers are positive integers, x=13
So, required consecutive numbers are 13 & 14.


Question 26.


Solve following equation for x:
x23x10=0


  1.     -2 and -6
  2.     10 and 5
  3.     5 and -2
  4.     7 and 6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5 and -2
:
C

By using the method of factorisation,


x23x10=0  
x25x+2x10=0       
x(x5)+2(x5)=0       


(x5)(x+2)=0       


x=5 and x=2


Question 27.


Find the numbers such that the square of number is 15 lesser than twice the number.


  1.     8
  2.     9

  4.     5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> -3
:
C and D

Let the number be x.
Square of number: x2
Lesser by 15: x215
of two times the number: x215=2x


We get, x215=2x
Lets solve, x22x15=0x25x+3x15=0x(x5)+3(x5)=0(x5)(x+3)=0x=5 & x=3
The number satisfying the given statement are 5 & 3.

Answer: Option B. -> 3±195
:
B

Multiply the equation by 5.
we get 25x230x10=0
(5x)2[2×(5x)×3]+323210=0
(5x3)2910=0(5x3)219=0(5x3)2=195x3=±19x=3±195
Roots of the equation are 3+195 & 3195


Question 29.


If x=23 is a solution of the quadratic equation 7x2+mx3=0, find the value of m.


  1.     m=16
  2.     m=13
  3.     m=16
  4.     m=13
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> m=16
:
C

Given: x=23 is a solution of the quadratic equation 7x2+mx3=0.


Substituting x=23 in the given quadratic equation we get


  7(23)2+m(23)3=0


  7(49)+m(23)3=0


  289+2m33=0


  28+6m27=0


  m=16


Question 30.


For what value of m does the equation, x2+2x+m=0 have two distinct real roots?


  1.     m = 1
  2.     m < 1
  3.     m > 1
  4.     m = 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> m < 1
:
B

Step 1 : For, x2+2x+m=0,
   a=1, b=2, c=m
We know that
D=b24ac
 D=(2)24m
          =44m     
Step 2 : The roots of a quadratic equation are real and distinct only when D>0


Step 3 :  44m>0 


               4>4m


              m<1
