(iv) (4x² – 9x + 2)(7x² – 13x – 2)(28x² – 3x – 1)
Answer:
4x² – 9x +2 = 4x² – 8x – x + 2
= 4x(x – 2)-1 (x – 2)
= (x – 2)(4x – 1)

7x² – 13x – 2 = 7x² – 14x + x – 2
= 7x (x – 2) + 1 (x – 2)
= (x – 2) (7x + 1)

28x² – 3x – 1 = 28x² – 7x + 4x – 1

Question 7.
Pari needs 4 hours to complete a work. His friend Yuvan needs 6 hours to complete the same work. How long will it take to complete if they work together?
Solution:
Pari: time required to complete the work = 4 hrs.
∴ In 1 hr. he will complete = \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the work.
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) w.
Yuvan: Time required to complete the work = 6 hrs.
∴ In 1 hr. he will complete the \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the work
= \(\frac{1}{6}\) w
Working together, in 1 hr. they will complete \(\frac{w}{4}+\frac{w}{6}\) of the work.
= \(\frac{6 w+4 w}{24}=\frac{5}{12} w\)
∴ To complete the total work time taken
= \(\frac{w}{\frac{5}{12} w}=\frac{12}{5}\) = 2.4 hrs. [∵ (4) hrs = 4 × 60 = 24 min]
= 2 hrs 24 minutes.

Answer:
9x² – 16y² = (3x)² – (4y)²
= (3x + 4y) (3x – 4y)
2x² + 3x – 20 = 2x² + 8x – 5x – 20
= 2x (x + 4) – 5 (x + 4)
= (x + 4) (2x – 5)

(ii) \(\frac{x^{3}-y^{3}}{3 x^{2}+9 x y+6 y^{2}} \times \frac{x^{2}+2 x y+y^{2}}{x^{2}-y^{2}}\)
Answer:
x³ – y³ = (x – y) (x² + xy + y²)
x² + 2xy + y² = (x + y) (x + y)

3x² + 9xy + 6y² = 3(x² + 3xy + 2y²)
= 3 (x + 2y) (x + y)
(x² – y²) = (x + y) (x – y)

Question 3.
Simplify
(i) \(\frac{2 a^{2}+5 a+3}{2 a^{2}+7 a+6} \div \frac{a^{2}+6 a+5}{-5 a^{2}-35 a-50}\)
Answer:

2 a² + 5a + 3a + 3 = 2a² + 2a + 3a + 3
= 2a(a + 1) + 3 (a + 1)
= (a + 1) (2a + 3)

2a² + 7a + 6 = 2a² + 3a + 4a + 6
= a(2a + 3) + 2 (2a + 3)
= (2a + 3) (a + 2)

a² + 6a + 5 = (a + 5) + (a + 1)
-5a² – 35a – 50 = -5(a² + 7a + 10)
= -5(a + 5)(a + 2)

(ii) \(\frac{b^{2}+3 b-28}{b^{2}+4 b+4}+\frac{b^{2}-49}{b^{2}-5 b-14}\)
Solution:

b² + 3b – 28 = (b + 7) (b – 4)
b² + 4b + 4 = (b + 2) (b + 2)
b² – 49 = b² – 7²
= (b + 7) (b – 7)
b² – 5b – 14 = (b – 7) (b + 2)

(iii) \(\frac{x+2}{4 y}+\frac{x^{2}-x-6}{12 y^{2}}\)

Answer:
12t² – 22t + 8 = 2(6t² – 11t + 4)
= 2[6t² – 8t – 3t + 4]

= 2[2t (3t – 4) – 1 (3t – 4)]
= 2(3t – 4) (2t – 1)
3t² + 2t – 8 = 3t² + 6t – 4t – 8
= 3t(t + 2) – 4 (t + 2)

= (t + 2) (3t – 4)
2t² + 4t = 2t(t + 2)

Question 4.
If x = \(\frac{a^{2}+3 a-4}{3 a^{2}-3}\) and y = \(\frac{a^{2}+2 a-8}{2 a^{2}-2 a-4}\) find the value of x²y^-2
Answer:


The value of x² y^-2 = \(\frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}}\) = (\(\frac { x }{ y } \))²

Question 5.
If a polynomial p(x) = x² – 5x – 14 when divided by another polynomial q(x) gets reduced to \(\frac { x-7 }{ x+2 } \) find q(x).
Answer:
p(x) = x² – 5x – 14
= (x – 7) (x + 2)

By the given data
\(\frac { p(x) }{ q(x) } \) = \(\frac { (x-7) }{ x+2 } \)
\(\frac{(x-7)(x+2)}{q(x)}\) = \(\frac { (x-7) }{ x+2 } \)
q(x) × (x – 7) = (x – 7) (x + 2) (x + 2)
q(x) = \(\frac{(x-7)(x+2)(x+2)}{(x-7)}\)
= (x + 2)²
q(x) = x² + 4x + 4

Question 1.
Solve the following system of linear equations in three variables
(i) x + y + z = 5
2x – y + z = 9
x – 2y + 3z = 16
Answer:
x + y + z = 5 ….(1)
2x – y + z = 9 ….(2)
x – 2y + 3z = 16 ….(3)
by adding (1) and (2)

Substituting z = 4 (4)
3x + 2(-4) = 14
3x – 8 = 14
3x = 14 – 8
3x = 6
x = \(\frac { 6 }{ 3 } \) = 2

Substituting x = 2 and z = 4 in (1)
2 + y + 4 = 5
y + 6 = 5
y = 5 – 6
= -1
∴ The value of x = 2, y = -1 and z = 4

(ii) \(\frac { 1 }{ x } \) – \(\frac { 2 }{ y } \) + 4 = 0, \(\frac { 1 }{ y } \) – \(\frac { 1 }{ z } \) + 1 = 0, \(\frac { 2 }{ z } \) + \(\frac { 3 }{ x } \) = 14
Answer:
Let \(\frac { 1 }{ x } \) = p, \(\frac { 1 }{ y } \) = q and \(\frac { 1 }{ z } \) = r
p – 2q + 4 = 0
p – 2q = -4 ……(1)
q – r + 1 = 0
q – r = -1 ……(2)
3p + 2r = 14 ……(3)

Substituting the value of p = 2 in (1)
2 – 2q = -4
-2q = – 4 – 2
-2q = -6
q = \(\frac { 6 }{ 2 } \) = 3
Substituting the value of q = 3 in (2)
3 – r = 1
– r = – 1 – 3
r = 4

The value of x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \), y = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) and z = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)

(iii) x + 20 = \(\frac { 3y }{ 2 } \) + 10 = 2z + 5 = 110 – (y + z)
Answer:
x + 20 = \(\frac { 3y }{ 2 } \) + 10
Multiply by 2
2x + 40 = 3y + 20
2x – 3y = -40 + 20
2x – 3y = -20 ……(1)

\(\frac { 3y }{ 2 } \) + 10 = 2z + 5
Multiply by 2
3y + 20 = 4z + 10
3y – 4z = 10 – 20
3y – 4z = -10 ……(2)

2z + 5 = 110 – (y + z)
2z + 5 = 110 – y – z
y + 3z = 110 – 5
y + 3z = 105 ….(3)

Substitute the value of z = 25 in (2)
3y – 4(25) = -10
3y – 100 = – 10
3y = – 10 + 100
3y = 90
y = \(\frac { 90 }{ 3 } \) = 30
∴ The value of x = 35, y = 30 and z = 25

Substitute the value of y = 30 in (1)
2x – 3(30) = -20
2x – 90 = -20
2x = -20 + 90
2x = 70
x = \(\frac { 70 }{ 2 } \) = 35

Question 2.
Discuss the nature of solutions of the following system of equations
(i) x + 2y – z = 6, – 3x – 2y + 5z = -12 , x – 2z = 3
Answer:
x + 2y – z = 6 …..(1)
-3x – 2y + 5z = -12 …..(2)
x – 2z = 3 ……(3)
Adding (1) and (2) we get

Adding (3) and (4) we get

The above statement tells us that the system has an infinite number of solutions.

(ii) 2y + z = 3(- x + 1) ,-x + 3y – z = -4, 3x + 2y + z = –\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
2y + z = 3 (- x + 1)
2y + z = -3x + 3 ……(1)
3x + 2y + z = –\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)

-x + 3y – z = – 4
x – 3y + z = 4 …..(2)

3x + 2y + z = – \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)

Hence we arrive at a contradiction as 0 ≠ 7
This means that the system is inconsistent and has no solution.

(iii) \(\frac { y+z }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { z+x }{ 3 } \) = \(\frac { x+y }{ 2 } \), x + y + z = 27
Answer:
\(\frac { y+z }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { z+x }{ 3 } \)
3y + 3z = 4z + 4x
-4x + 3y + 3z – 4z = 0
-4x + 3y – z = 0
4x – 3y + z = 0 ………(1)

\(\frac { z+x }{ 3 } \) = \(\frac { x+y }{ 2 } \)
2z + 2x = 3x + 3y
-3x + 2x – 3y + 2z = 0
-x – 3y + 2z = 0
x + 3y – 2z = 0 ………(2)

Substituting the value of x in (5)
6 + 5z = 81
5z = 81 – 6
5z = 75
z = \(\frac { 75 }{ 5 } \) = 15
Substituting the value of x = 3
and z = 15 in (3)
3 + y + 15 = 27
y + 18 = 27
y = 27 – 18
= 9
The value of x = 3, y = 9 and z = 15
This system of equations have unique solution.

x + y + z = 159 ….(1)
By the given 2^nd Condition.
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) z + \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)y + \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)x = 65
Multiply by 12
6z + 4y + 3x = 780
3x + 4y + 6z = 780 ….(2)
By the given 3^rd condition
z – 4 = 4 (x – 4) ⇒ z – 4 = 4x – 16
– 4x + z = – 16 + 4
4x – z = 12 ……(3)

Vani age = 24 years
Vani’s father age = 51 years
Vani grand father age = 84 years
Substitute the value of x = 24 in (3)
4 (24) – z = 12
96 – z = 12
-z = 12 – 96
z = 84
Substitute the value of

Question 4.
The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 11. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 46 more than five times the old number. If the hundreds digit plus twice the tens digit is equal to the units digit, then find the original three digit number ?
Answer:
Let the hundreds digit be x and the tens digit be ”y” and the unit digit be “z”
∴ The number is 100x + 10y + z
If the digits are reversed the new number is 100z + 10y + x
By the given first condition
x + y + z = 11 ….(1)
By the given second condition
100z + 10y + x = 5 (100x + 10y + z) + 46
= 500x + 50y + 5z + 46
x – 500x + 10y – 50y + 100z – 5z = 46
– 499x – 40y + 95z = 46
499x + 40y – 95z = -46 ….(2)
By the given third condition
x + 2y = z
x + 2y – z = 0 ….(3)

∴ The number is 137
Subtituting the value of y = 3 in (5)
2x + 3(3) = 11
2x = 11 – 9
2x = 2
x = \(\frac { 2 }{ 2 } \) = 1
Subtituting the value of x = 1, y = 3 in (1)
1 + 3 + z = 11
z = 11 – 4
= 7

By the given second condition
5x + 10y + 20z = 105
x + 2y + 4z = 21 (÷5) ……….(2)
By the given third condition
10x + 5y + 20z = 105 + 20
10x + 5y + 20z = 125
2x + y + 4z = 25 ………..(3)


Substituting the value of x = 7 in (5)
7 – y = 4 ⇒ -y = 4 – 7
-y = -3 ⇒ y = 3
Substituting the value of x = 7, y = 3 in …. (1)
7 + 3 + z = 12
z = 12 – 10 = 2
x = 7, y = 3, z = 2
Number of currencies in ₹ 5 = 7
Number of currencies in ₹ 10 = 3
Number of currencies in ₹ 20 = 2

II. Answer the following.

Question 1.
Show that the square of any positive integer of the form 3m or 3m + 1 for some integer m.
Answer:
Let a be any positive integer. Then it is of the form 3q or 3q + 1 or 3q + 2
Case – 1 When a = 3q
a² = (3q)² = 9 q²
= (3q) (3q)
= 3m where m = 3q
Case – 2 When a = 3q + 1
a² = (3q + 1)² = 9q² + 6q + 1
= 3q (3q + 2) + 1
= 3 m + 1
where m = q (3q + 2)
Case – 3 When a = 3q + 2
a² = (3q + 2)² = 9q² + 12q + 4
= 9q² + 12q + 3 + 1
= 3(3q² + 4q + 1) + 1
= 3m + 1
where m = 3q² + 4q + 1
Hence a is of the form 3m or 3m + 1

Question 2.
Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3, where q is some integer.
Solution:
Let us start with taking a, where a is a +ve odd integer.
We apply the division algorithm with ‘a’ and ‘b’ = 4.
Since 0 < r < 4, the possible remainders are 0, 1, 2, 3.
That is, a can be 4q, or 4q + 1, or 4q + 2 or 4q + 3, where 1 is the quotient. However, since a is odd, a cannot be 4q or 4q + 2 (since they are both divisible by 2).
Any odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3.

Question 3.
Compute x such that 5⁴ = x (mod 8)
Answer:
5² = 25 = 1 (mod 8)
5⁴ = (5²)² = l² (mod 8)
= 1
5⁴ = 1 (mod 8)

Question 4.
The first term of an A.P. is 6 and the common difference is 5. Find the A.P. and its general term.
Answer:
Given, a = 6, d = 5
General term t_n = a + (n – 1) d
= 6 + (n – 1) 5
= 6 + 5 n – 5
= 5 n + 1
The general form of the A.P. is a, a + d, a + 2d,
The A.P. is 6, 11, 16, 21, ……… 5n + 1.

Question 5.
Which term of the arithmetic sequence 24, 23\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \), 22 \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \), 21 \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \), …….. is 3?
Answer:
Given The A.P is 24, 23 \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \), 22 \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \), 21 \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \), …………..

Question 6.
Determine the AP whose 3rd term is 5 and the 7th term is 9.
Solution:
We have
a₃ = a + (3 – 1)d = a + 2d = 5 ……….. (1)
a₇ = a + (7 – 1)d = a + 6d = 9 ………… (2)
(1) – (2) ⇒ -4d = -4 ⇒ d = 1.
Sub, d = 1 in (1), we get
a + 2(1) = 5
a = 3
Hence the required A.P. is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Question 7.
If a, b, c are in A.P. then prove that (a – c)² = 4 (b² – ac).
Answer:
Given a, b, c are in A.P.
n = 10
∴ b – a = c – b
2 b = a + c
Squaring on both sides,
(a + c)² = (2b)²
a² + c² + 2ac = 4b²
(a – c)² + 2ac + 2ac = 4b²
[a² + c² = (a – c)² + 2ac]
(a – c)² = 4b² – 4ac
(a – c)² = 4(b² – ac)
Hence it is proved.
Aliter: Given a, b, c are in A.P.
b – a = c – b
2b = a + c
To prove, (a – c)² = 4(b² – ac)
L.H.S.= (a – c)²
= a² + c² – 2 ac
= (a + c)² – 2 ac – 2ac
= (a + c)² – 4ac
= (2b)² – 4ac (2b = a + c)
= 4b² – 4ac = 4 (b² – ac) = R.H.S
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S., Hence proved.

Question 8.
If the sum of the first 14 terms of an AP is 1050 and its first term is 10, find the 20th term.
Solution:
Here S₁₄ = 1050
n = 14
a = 10
S_n = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) (2a + (n – 1)d)
1050 = \(\frac { 14 }{ 2 } \) (20 + 13d)
= 140 + 91d
910 = 91d
d = 10
a₂₀ = 10 + (20 – 1) × 10
= 20
∴ 20th term = 200.

Question 9.
Find the sum of the first 40 terms of the series 1² – 2² + 3² – 4² + ….
Answer:
The given series is 1² – 2² + 3² – 4² + …. 40 terms
Grouping the terms we get,
(1² – 2²) + (3² – 4²) + (5² – 6²) + ………….. 20 terms
(1 – 4) + (9 – 16) + (25 – 36) + …………… 20 terms
(- 3) + (- 7) + (- 11) + ………………. 20 term
This is an A.P
Here a = – 3, d = – 7 – (-3) = – 7 + 3 = – 4 n = 20
S_n = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2a + (n – 1) d ]
S₂₀ = \(\frac { 20 }{ 2 } \) [2(-3) + 19(-4)]
= 10 (- 6 – 76) = 10 (- 82) = – 820
∴ Sum of 40 terms of the series is – 820.
Aliter. 1² – 2² + 3² – 4² + …….. + 39² – 40²
= 1² + 3² + 5² + ……. + 39² –
(2² + 4² + 6² + ……….. + 40²)
= 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + …. + 40²
– (2² + 4² + 6² + …. + 40²)
– (2² + 4² + 6² + …. + 40²)
= 1² + 2² + 3² + …. + 40²
= 2 × 2² (1² + 2² + ….. + 20²)

Question 10.
Find the sum of first 24 terms of the list of numbers whose nth term is given by
a_n = 3 + 2n.
Solution:
a_n = 3 + 2n
a₁ = 3 + 2 = 5
a₂ = 3 + 2 × 2 = 7
a₃ = 3 + 2 × 3 = 9
List of numbers becomes 5, 7, 9. 11, ……….
Here,7 – 5 = 9 – 7 = 11 – 9 = 2 and soon. So, it forms an A.P. with common difference d = 2.
To find S₂₄, we have n = 24, a = 5, d = 2.
S₂₄ = \(\frac { 24 }{ 2 } \) [2 × 5 + (24 – 1) × 2 ]
= 12 [10 + 46] = 672
So, sum of first 24 terms of the list of numbers is 672.

1 + 2 + 3 + …….. + 12
Here, a = 1, d = 1, n = 12, l = 12
S_n = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) (a + l) = \(\frac { 12 }{ 2 } \) (1 + 12)
= 6 × 13 = 78 times
∴ Number of times the clock strike in 24 hours
= 78 × 2 = 156 times.

Question 12.
If the 4^th and 7^th terms of a G.P. are 54 and 1458 respectively, find the G.P.
Answer:
Given, t₄ = 54 and t₇ = 1458

Substituting the value of r = 3 in (1)
a × 27 = 54
a = \(\frac { 54 }{ 27 } \) = 2
∴ The Geometric sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54 ………

Question 13.
Which term of the geometric sequence,
(i) 5, 2, \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \), \(\frac { 8 }{ 25 } \), ……… is \(\frac { 128 }{ 15625 } \)?
Answer:
The given G.P. is 5, 2, \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \),\(\frac { 8 }{ 25 } \), …….., is \(\frac { 128 }{ 15625 } \)
Here a = 5, r = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \), t_n = \(\frac { 128 }{ 15625 } \)
t_n = a.r^n-1

Question 14.
How many consecutive terms starting from the first term of the series 2 + 6 + 18 + … would sum to 728?
Answer:
The given series is
2 + 6 + 18 + …. + t_n = 728
Here a = 2, r = = 3, S_n = 728

∴ Required number of terms = 6

Question 15.
A geometric series consists of four terms and has a positive common ratio. The sum of the first two terms is 9 and sum of the last two terms is 36. Find the series.
Answer:
Let the four terms of the G.P. be a, ar, ar² and ar³ ……….
Given, a + ar = 9 ……(1)
ar² + ar³ = 36
r² (a + ar) = 36
r² (9) = 36
[from (1)]
r² = =4
r = ± 2
then r = 2
(given common positive ratio)
a + a (2) = 9 from (1)
3a = 9
a = 3
∴ The required series
= 3 + 3(2) + 3 (2²) + 3 (2³) + ……
= 3 + 6 + 12 + 24 + ……..

Question 16.

Answer:
Let ‘a’ be the first term and ‘d’ be the common difference of the give A.P.
Middle most term = (\(\frac { 11+1 }{ 2 } \))^th = 6^th term
t_n = a + (n – 1)d
t₆ = a + 5d
a + 5d = 30
S_n = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2a + (n – 1)d]
S₁₁ = \(\frac { 11 }{ 2 } \) [2a + 10d]
= \(\frac { 11 }{ 2 } \) × 2 [a + 5d]
= 11 × 30
= 330
Sum of 11 terms = 330

III. Answer the following.

Question 1.
Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of 867 and 255.
Answer:
Here 867 > 255
Applying Euclid’s Lemma to 867 and 255 we get

867 = (255 × 3) + 102
The remainder 102 ≠ 0
Again applying Euclid’s
Lemma to 255 and 102
255 = 102 × 2 + 51
The remainder 51 ≠ 0
Again applying Euclid’s
Lemma to 102 and 51 we get
102 = 51 × 2 + 0
The remainder is 0
∴ HCF of 867 and 255 is 51

Question 2.
Find the number of integer solutions of 5x = 2 (mod 13)
Answer:
5x ≡ 2 (mod 13) can be written as
5x – 2 = 13 k for some integer
5x = 13 k + 2
x = \(\frac{13 k+2}{5}\)
Since 5k is an integer \(\frac{13 k+2}{5}\) cannot be an inter.
There is no integer solution.

Question 3.
Find the 40^th term of A.P. whose 9^th term is 465 and 20^th term is 388.
Answer:
t_n = a + (n – 1) d
t₉ = a + 8d (t₉ = 465)
a + 8d = 465 ……(1)

Substitute the value of d = -7 in (1)
a + 8(-7) = 465
a – 56 = 465
a = 465 + 56 = 521
a = 521, d = -7, n = 40
t₄₀ = 521 + 39(-7)
= 521 – 273
= 248
40^th term of an A.P. is 248

Question 4.
Find the three consecutive terms in an A.P. whose sum is 18 and the sum of their squares is 140.
Answer:
Let the three consecutive terms in an
A.P. be m – d,m,m + d
By the given data,
Sum of threee terms = 18
m – d + m + m + d = 18
3m = 18
m = \(\frac { 18 }{ 3 } \) = 6
Again by the given data,
Sum of their squares = 140
(m – d)² + m² + (m + d)² = 140
m² + d² – 2md + m² + m² + d² + 2md = 140
3m² + 2d² = 140
3(62) + 2d² = 140
3(36) + 2d² = 140
2d² = 140 – 108
2d² = 32
d² = \(\frac { 32 }{ 2 } \) = 16
∴ d = ± 4
when, m = 6, d = + 4
m – d = 6 – 4 = 2
m = 6
m + d = 6 + 4 = 10
when, m = 6, d = -4
m – d = 6-(-4) = 6 + 4= 10
m = 6
m + d = 6 +(-4) = 6 – 4 = 2
∴ The three numbers are 2, 6 and 10 or 10, 6,2.

Question 5.
If m times the m^th term of an A.P. is equal to n times its n^th term, then show that the (m + n)^th term of the A.P. is zero.
Answer:
Given, mt_m = nt_n
m[a + (m – 1) d] = n [a + (n – 1) d]
[we know that t_n = a + (n – 1)d]
m[a + md – d] = n[a + nd – d]
ma + m²d – md = na + n²d – nd
ma – na + m²d – n²d = md – nd
a (m – n) + d (m² – n²) = d(m – n)
a (m – n) + d(m + n)(m – n) = d(m – n) ÷ by (m – n) on both sides,
a + d (m + n) = d
a + d(m + n) – d = 0
a + d(m + n – 1) = 0 ….. (1)
To prove, t_(m+n) = 0
t_(m+n) = a + (m + n – 1)d
t_(m+n) = 0(from(1))
Hence it is proved.

Question 6.
If a, b, c are in A.P. then prove that (a – c)² = 4 (b² – ac).
Answer:
Given a, b, c are in A.P.
∴ b – a = c – b
2 b = a + c
Squaring on both sides,
(a + c)² = (2b)²
a² + c² + 2 ac = 4 b²
(a – c)² + 2 ac + 2 ac = 4 b²
[a² + c² = (a – c)² + 2 ac]
(a – c)² = 4b² – 4ac
(a – c)² = 4 (b² – ac)
Hence it is proved.
Aliter: Given a, b, c are in A.P.
b – a = c – b
2 b = a + c
To prove, (a – c)² = 4(b² – ac)
L.H.S. = (a – c)²
= a² + c² – 2ab
= (a + c)² – 2ac – 2ac
= (a + c)² – 4ac
= (2b)² – 4ac (2b = a + c)
= 4 b² – 4ac = 4 (b² – ac) = R.H.S
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S., Hence proved.

Question 7.
The ratio of the sums of first m and first n terms of an arithmetic series is m² : n² show that the ratio of the m^th and n^th terms is (2m – 1) : (2n -1).
Answer:

n[2a + (m – 1) d] = tn[2a + nd-d]
2 an + mnd- nd = 2 am + mnd— md 2an-2am = nd- md 2 a (n-m) = d(n- m)
÷ by (n – m) on both sides,
2a = d
To prove, t_m : t_n = (2m – 1) : (2n – 1)
L.H.S = t_m : t_n
= a + (m – 1) d : a + (n – 1)d
= a + (m – 1) 2a : a + (n – 1)2a
[Substitute the value of d = 2a]
= a + 2 am – 2 a: a + 2 am – 2a
= 2am – a : 2an – a
= a (2m – 1) : a (2n – 1)
= (2m – 1) : (2n – 1) = R. H. S
= (2m – 1) : (2n – 1)
∴ t_m : t_n
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence it is proved.

Question 8.
A construction company will be penalised each day for delay in construction of a bridge. The penalty will be ₹4000 for the first day and will increase by ₹1000 for each following day. Based on its budget, the company can afford to pay a maximum of ₹1,65,000 towards penalty. Find the maximum number of days by which the completion of work can be delayed.
Solution:
Penalty for the first day (a) = ₹ 4000
Increased rate for every day (d) = ₹ 1000
Maximum amount of penalty (S_n)
= ₹ 1,65,000
S_n = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2a + (n-1) 1000]
165000 = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2(4000) + (n – 1) 1000]
= \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [8000 + 1000 n – 1000]
165000 = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) (7000 + 1000n)
330000 = 7000 n + 1000 n²
0 = 1000 n² + 7000 n – 330000 ÷ 1000 on both sides,
n² + 7n – 330 = 0
(n + 22) (n – 15) = 0
n = -22 or n = 15
n = -22 (not possible)
∴ Maximum number of days for which the work can be delayed is 15 days.

Question 9.
If the product of three consecutive terms in G.P. is 216 and sum of their products in pairs is 156, find them.
Let the three consecutive terms of G.P. be \(\frac { a }{ r } \), a, ar.
Product of three terms = 216
\(\frac { a }{ r } \) × a × ar = 216
a³ = 216
a³ = 63
a = 6
Sum of their products in pairs = 156

Question 10.
If a, b, c, d are in a geometric sequence, then show that
(a – b + c) (b + c + d) = ab + bc + cd.
Answer:
Given, a, b, c, d are in a geometric sequence.
Let a = a, b = ar, c = ar², d = ar³
To prove, (a – b + c) (b + c + d) = ab + bc + cd
L.H.S. = (a – b + c)(b + c + d)
= (a – ar + ar²) (ar + ar² + ar³ )
= a (1 – r + r²)ar (1 + r + r²)
= a²r (1 – r + r²) (1 + r + r²)
= a²r (1 + r² + r4)
= a²r + a²r³ + a²r⁵
= a (ar) + ar (ar²) + ar² (ar³)
= ab + bc + cd
= R.H.S.
L.H.S. = R.H.S., Hence proved.

Question 11.
Find the sum of the first n terms of the series 0.4 + 0.94 + 0.994 + ………..
Answer:
Given series is 0.4 + 0.94 + 0.994 + ……………. + n terms.
S_n = 0.4 + 0.94 + 0.994 + ……….. + n terms

Answer:
Given, the sides of 12 squares are 12 cm, 13 cm, 14 cm,… 23 cm
Total area of 12 squares
= 12² + 13² + 14² + … + 23²
= (1² + 2² + 3² … + 23²) – (1² + 2² + … + 11²)

Question 1.
If the difference between a number and its reciprocal is \(\frac { 24 }{ 5 } \), find the number.
Answer:
Let the number be “x” and its reciprocal is \(\frac { 1 }{ x } \)
By the given condition
x – \(\frac { 1 }{ x } \) = \(\frac { 24 }{ 5 } \)
\(\frac{x^{2}-1}{x}\) = \(\frac { 24 }{ 5 } \)
5x² – 5 = 24x
5x² – 24x – 5 = 0

5x² – 25x + x – 5 = 0 ⇒ 5x (x – 5) + 1(x – 5) = 0
(x – 5) (5x – 1) = 0 ⇒ x – 5 = 0 or 5x + 1 = 0
x = 5 or 5x = -1 ⇒ x = \(\frac { -1 }{ 5 } \)
The number is 5 or \(\frac { -1 }{ 5 } \)

Question 2.
A garden measuring 12m by 16m is to have a pedestrian pathway that is meters wide installed all the way around so that it increases the total area to 285 m². What is the width of the pathway?
Answer:
Let the width of the rectangle be “ω”
Length of the outer rectangle = 16 + (ω + ω)
16 + 2ω
Breadth of the outer rectangle = 12 + 2ω

By the given condition
(16 + 2ω) (12 + 2ω) = 285
192 + 32 ω + 24 ω + 4 ω² = 285
4 ω² + 56ω = 285 – 192
4 ω² + 56 ω = 93
4 ω²+ 56 ω – 93 = 0
Here a = 4, b = 56, c = -93

= 1.5 or -15.5 (Width is not negative)
∴ Width of the path way = 1.5 m

Question 3.
A bus covers a distance of 90 km at a uniform speed. Had the speed been 15 km/hour more it would have taken 30 minutes less for the journey. Find the original speed of the journey.
Answer:
Let the original speed of the bus be “x” km/hr
Time taken to cover 90 km = \(\frac { 90 }{ x } \)
After increasing the speed by 15 km/hr
Time taken to cover 90 km = \(\frac { 90 }{ x+15 } \)
By the given condition
\(\frac { 90 }{ x } \) – \(\frac { 90 }{ x+15 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(\frac{90(x+15)-90 x}{x(x+15)}\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
90x + 1350 – 90x = \(\frac{x^{2}+15 x}{2}\)
1350 = \(\frac{x^{2}+15 x}{2}\)
2700 = x² + 15x

x² + 15x – 2700 = 0
(x + 60) (x – 45) = 0
x + 60 = 0 or x – 45 = 0
x = – 60 or x = 45
The speed will not be negative
∴ Original speed of the bus = 45 km/hr

Question 4.
A girl is twice as old as her sister. Five years hence, the product of their ages – (in years) will be 375. Find their present ages.
Answer:
Let the age of the sister be “x”
The age of the girl = 2x
Five years hence
Age of the sister = x + 5
Age of the girl = 2x + 5
By the given condition
(x + 5) (2x + 5) = 375
2x² + 5x + 10x + 25 = 375
2x² + 15x – 350 = 0
a = 2, b = 15, c = -350

Age will not be negative
Age of the girl = 10 years
Age of the sister = 20 years (2 × 10)

Question 5.
A pole has to be erected at a point on the boundary of a circular ground of diameter 20 m in such a way that the difference of its distances from two diametricallyopposite fixed gates P and Q on the boundary is 4 m. Is it possible to do so? If answer is yes at what distance from the two gates should the pole be erected?
Answer:
Let “R” be the required location of the pole
Let the distance from the gate P is “x” m : PR = “x” m
The distance from the gate Q is (x + 4)m
∴ QR = (x + 4)m
In the right ∆ PQR,

PR² + QR² = PQ² (By Pythagoras theorem)
x² + (x + 4)² = 20²
x² + x² + 16 + 8x = 400
2x² + 8x – 384 = 0

x² + 4x – 192 = 0(divided by 2)
(x + 16) (x – 12) = 0
x + 16 = 0 or x – 12 = 0 [negative value is not considered]
x = -16 or x = 12
Yes it is possible to erect
The distance from the two gates are 12 m and 16 m

Question 6.
From a group of 2x² black bees , square root of half of the group went to a tree. Again eight-ninth of the bees went to the same tree. The remaining two got caught up in a fragrant lotus. How many bees were there in total?
Answer:
Total numbers of black bees = 2x²
Half of the group = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 2x² = x²
Square root of half of the group = \(\sqrt{x^{2}}\) = x
Eight – ninth of the bees = \(\frac { 8 }{ 9 } \) × 2x² = \(\frac{16 x^{2}}{9}\)
Number ofbees in the lotus = 2
By the given condition
x + \(\frac{16 x^{2}}{9}\) + 2 = 2x²
(Multiply by 9) 9x + 16×2 + 18 = 18x²

18x² – 16x² – 9x – 18 = 0 ⇒ 2x² – 9x – 18 = 0
2x² – 12x + 3x – 18 = 0
2x(x – 6) + 3 (x – 6) = 0
(x – 6) (2x + 3) = 0
x – 6 = 0 or 2x + 3 = 0
x = 6 or 2x = -3 ⇒ x = \(\frac { -3 }{ 2 } \) (number of bees will not be negative)
Total number of black bees = 2x² = 2(6)²
= 72

Question 7.
Music is been played in two opposite galleries with certain group of people. In the first gallery a group of 4 singers were singing and in the second gallery 9 singers were singing. The two galleries are separated by the distance of 70 m. Where should a person stand for hearing the same intensity of the singers voice?
(Hint: The ratio of the sound intensity is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding distances).
Answer:
Number of singers in the first group = 4
Number of singers in the second group = 9
Distance between the two galleries = 70 m
Let the distance of the person from the first group be x
and the distance of the person from the second group be 70 – x
By the given condition
4 : 9 = x² : (70 – x)² (by the given hint)
\(\frac { 4 }{ 9 } \) = \(\frac{x^{2}}{(70-x)^{2}}\)
\(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \) = \(\frac { x }{ 70-x } \) [taking square root on both sides]
3x = 140 – 2x
5x = 140
x = \(\frac { 140 }{ 5 } \) = 28
The required distance to hear same intensity of the singers voice from the first galleries is 28m
The required distance to hear same intensity of the singers voice from the second galleries is (70 – 28) = 42 m

Question 8.
There is a square field whose side is 10 m. A square flower bed is prepared in its centre leaving a gravel path all round the flower bed. The total cost of laying the flower bed and gravelling the path at ₹3 and ₹4 per square metre respectively is ₹364. Find the width of the gravel path.
Answer:
Let the width of the gravel path be ‘x’
Side of the flower bed = 10 – (x + x)
= 10 – 2x

Area of the path way = Area of the field – Area of the flower bed
= 10 × 10 – (10 – 2x) (10 – 2x) sq.m
= 100 – (100 + 4x² – 40x)
= 100 – 100 – 4x² + 40x
= 40x – 4x² sq.m
Area of the flower bed = (10 – 2x) (10 – 2x) sq.m.
= 100 + 4x² – 40x
By the given condition

3(100 + 4x² – 40x) + 4(40x – 4x²) = 364
300 + 12x² – 120x + 160x – 16x² = 364
-4x² + 40x + 300 – 364 = 0
-4x² + 40x – 64 = 0
(÷ by 4) ⇒ x² – 10x + 16 = 0
[The width must not be equal to 8 m since the side of the field is 10m]
(x – 8) (x – 2) = 0
x – 8 = 0 or x – 2 = 0 x = 8 or x = 2
Width of the gravel path = 2 m

Question 9.
Two women together took 100 eggs to a market, one had more than the other. Both sold them for the same sum of money. The first then said to the second: “If I had your eggs, I would have earned ₹ 15”, to which the second replied: “If I had your eggs, I would have earned ₹ 6 \(\frac{2}{3}\) How many eggs did each had in the beginning?
Solution:
Let the no. of eggs with woman 1 be x and woman 2 be y.
∴ x + y = 100
Let w₁ sell the eggs at ₹ ‘a’ per egg.
Let w₂ sell the eggs at ₹ ‘b’ per egg.
Case 1:
They sold them for same money.
∴ ax = by
Case 2:
ay = 15 and bx = \(\frac{20}{3}\)
∴ One woman had 40 eggs and the other had 60 eggs.

Question 10.
The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 25 cm and its perimeter 56 cm. Find the length of the smallest side.
Answer:
Perimeter of a right angle triangle = 56 cm
Sum of the two sides + hypotenuse = 56
Sum of the two sides = 56 – 25
= 31 cm
Let one side of the triangle be “x”

The other side of the triangle = (31 – x) cm
By Pythagoras theorem
AB² + BC² = AC²
x² + (31 – x)² = 25²
x² + 961 + x² – 62x = 625

2x² – 62x + 961 – 625 = 0
2x² – 62x + 336 = 0 ⇒ x² – 31x + 168 = 0
(x – 24) (x – 7) = 0
x – 24 = 0 (or) x – 7 = 0

Question 1.
Find the GCD of the given polynomials by Division Algorithm
(i) x⁴ + 3x³ – x – 3, x³ + x² – 5x + 3
Answer:
p(x) = x⁴ + 3x³ – x – 3
g(x) = x³ + x² – 5x + 3

3x² + 6x – 9 = 3(x² + 2x – 3)
Now dividing g(x) = x³ + x² – 5x + 3
by the new remainder
(leaving the constant 3)
we get x² + 2x – 3
G.C.F. = x² + 2x – 3

(ii) x⁴ – 1, x³ – 11x² + x – 11
p(x) = x⁴ – 1
g(x) = x³ – 11x² + x – 11

120x² + 120 = 120 (x² + 1)
Now dividing g(x) = x³ – 11x² + x – 11 by the new remainder (leaving the constant) we get x² + 1

G.C.D. = x² + 1

(iii) 3x⁴ + 6x³ – 12x² – 24x, 4x⁴ + 14x³ + 8x² – 8x
Answer:
p(x) = 3x⁴ + 6x³ – 12x² – 24x
= 3x (x³ + 2x² – 4x – 8)
g(x) = 4x⁴ + 14x³ + 8x² – 8x
= 2x (2x³ + 7x² + 4x – 4)
G.C.D. of 3x and 2x = x
Now g(x) is divide by p(x) we get

3x² + 12x + 12 = 3 (x² + 4x + 4)
Now dividing p(x) = x³ + 2x² – 4x – 8
by the new remainder
(leaving the constant)
x² + 4x + 4

G.C.D. = x(x² + 4x + 4) [Note x is common for p(x) and g(x)]

(iv) 3x³ + 3x² + 3x + 3, 6x³ + 12x² + 6x+12
p(x) = 3x³ + 3x² + 3x + 3
= 3(x³ + x² + x + 1)
g(x) = 6x³ + 12x² + 6x + 12
= 6(x³ + 2x² + x + 2)
G.C.D. of 3 and 6 = 3
Now g(x) is divided by p(x)

Now dividing p(x) by the remainder x² + 1
we get x + 1

∴ G.C.D. = 3(x² + 1) [3 is the G.C.D. of 3 and 6]

Question 2.
Find the LCM of the given polynomials
(i) 4x²y, 8x³y²
Answer:
4x² y = 2 × 2 × x² × y
8 x³ y² = 2 × 2 × 2 × x³ × y²
L.C.M. = 2³ × x³ × y²
= 8x³y²

Aliter: L.C.M of 4 and 8 = 8
L.C.M. of x²y and x³y² = x³y²
∴ L.C.M. = 8x³y²

(ii) -9a³b², 12a²b²c
Answer:
-9a³b² = -(3² × a³ × b²)
12a²b²c = 2² × 3 × a² × b² × c
L.C.M. = -(2² × 3² × a³ × b² × c)
= -36 a³b²c

(iii) 16m, -12m²n², 8n²
Answer:
16m = 24 × m
-12 m²n² = -(2² × 3 × m² × n²)
8n² = 2³ × n²
L.C.M. = -(2⁴ × 3 × m² × n²)
= -48 m²n²

(iv) p² – 3p + 2, p² – 4
Answer:
P² – 3p + 2 = p² – 2p – p + 2
= p(p – 2) – 1 (p – 2)
= (p – 2) (p – 1)

p² – 4 = p² – 2² (using a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)]
= (p + 2) (p – 2)
L.C.M. = (p – 2) (p + 2) (p – 1)

(v) 2x² – 5x – 3,4.x² – 36
Answer:
2x² – 5x – 3 = 2x² – 6x + x – 3
= 2x (x – 3) + 1 (x – 3)
= (x – 3) (2x + 1)

= 4x² – 36 = 4 [x² – 9]
= 4 [x² – 3²]
= 4(x + 3) (x – 3)
L.C.M. = 4(x – 3) (x + 3) (2x + 1)

(vi) (2x² – 3xy)²,(4x – 6y)³,(8x³ – 27y³)
Answer:
(2x² – 3xy)² = x² (2x – 3y)²
(4x – 6y)³ = 2³ (2x – 3y)³
= 8 (2x – 3y)³
8x³ – 27y³ = (2x)³ – (3y)³
= (2x – 3y) [(2x)² + 2x × 3y + (3y²)]
[using a³ – b³ = (a – b) (a² + ab + b²)
(2x – 3y) (4x² + 6xy + 9y²)
L.C.M. = 8x² (2x – 3y)³ (4x² + 6xy + 9y)²
