x – $$\frac { y }{ 5 }$$ = 6
multiply by 5
5x – y = 30 …….(1)
y – $$\frac { z }{ 7 }$$ = 8

Substitute the value of x = 8 in (1)
5(8) – y = 30
– y = 30 – 40 = -10
∴ y = 10
Substitute the value of x = 8 in (3)
2z – 8 = 20

Let the daily wage of a mason be ₹ x
Let the daily wage of a male worker be ₹ y
Let the daily wage of a female worker be ₹ z
By the given first condition
2x = 3y
2x – 3y = 0 …..(1)
By the given second condition
15z = 5x + 3y + 30
-5x – 3y + 15z = 30
5x + 3y – 15z = -30 ………(2)
By the given third condition

substitute the value of x = 60 in ….(1)
2(60) – 3y = 0
120 = 3y
y = $$\frac { 120 }{ 3 }$$ = 40
substitute the value of x = 60 and y = 40 in (3)
60 + 40 + 2z = 160
2z = 160 – 100
2z = 60
z = $$\frac { 60 }{ 2 }$$ = 30
Daily wages of a manson = ₹60
Daily wages of a male worker = ₹40
Daily wages of a female worker = ₹30

Question 5.

p(x) = x3 – 10x2 + 31x – 30
g(x) = 2x3 – 8x2 + 2x + 12
= 2(x3 – 4x2 + x + 6)

G.C.D. = x2 – 5x + 6

p(x) = (x2 + 3x + 2) (x2 – 4x + a)
= (x + 1) (x + 2) (x2 – 4x + a)
G.C.D is given as (x + 2) (x – 3)
x – 3 is a factor of x2 – 4x + a

p(3) = 0
9 – 4(3) + a = 0
9 – 12 + a = 0
– 3 + a =0
a = 3

g(x) = (x2 – 6x + 9) (x2 + 4x + 6)
= (x – 3) (x – 3) (x2 + 4x + b)

LC.M. = (x – 1) (x – 2) (x2 – 3x + 3)
HCF = (x – 1)
p(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 6x – 3

p(x) = (x – 1) (x2 – 3x + 3)
p(x) × g(x) = LCM × HCF

2x2 + 5x + 3 = 2x2 + 3x + 2x + 3
= x(2x + 3) + 1 (2x + 3)
= (2x + 3) (x + 1)
x2 -1 = (x + 1) (x – 1)

Question 10.
Simplify

x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2) (x + 3)

Question 11.
Find the square root of (6x2 + 5x – 6) (6x2 – x – 2) (4x2 + 8x + 3)
6x2 + 5x – 6 = 6x2 + 9x – 4x – 6
= 3x(2x + 3) -2 (2x + 3)
= (2x + 3) (3x – 2)

6x2 – x – 2 = 6x2 – 4x + 3x – 2
= 2x (3x – 2) + 1 (3x – 2)
= (3x – 2) (2x + 1)

4x2 + 8x + 3 = 4x2 + 6x + 2x + 3
= 2x(2x + 3) + 1 (2x + 3)

Question 12.
Find the square root of the polynomial
$$\frac{4 x^{2}}{y^{2}}$$ + $$\frac { 8x }{ y }$$ + 16 + 12 $$\frac { y }{ x }$$ + $$\frac{9 y^{2}}{x^{2}}$$

Question 13.
If m – nx + 28x2 + 12x3 + 9x4 is a perfect square, then find the values of m and n.
Arrange the polynomial in descending power of x.
9x4 + 12x3 + 28x2 – nx + m
Now,

Since the given polynomial is a perfect square,
-nx – 16x = 0
-x (n + 16) = 0
n + 16 = 0 ⇒ n = -16
m – 16 = 0 ⇒ m = 16
The value m = 16 and n = -16

Question 14.
If b + $$\frac { a }{ x }$$ + $$\frac{13}{x^{2}}$$ – $$\frac{6}{x^{3}}$$ + $$\frac{1}{x^{4}}$$ is a perfect square, find the values of “a” and “b”
Arrange the values of “a” and “b”

Since it is a perfect square
$$\frac { a }{ x }$$ + $$\frac { 12 }{ x }$$ = 0
$$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$ (a + 12) = 0
a + 12 = 0 ⇒ a = -12
b – 4 = 0 ⇒ b = 4
The value of a = -12 and b = 4

Question 15.
Solve
$$\frac { 1 }{ x + 1 }$$ + $$\frac { 4 }{ 3x+6 }$$ = $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$

6x2 – 12x + 9x – 18 = 0
6x(x – 2) + 9(x – 2) = 0

(x – 2) (6x + 9) = 0
x – 2 = 0 or 6x + 9 = 0
x = 2 or 6x + 9 = 0
x = 2 or 6x = -9
x = – $$\frac { 9 }{ 6 }$$ = $$\frac { -3 }{ 2 }$$
The solution is $$\frac { -3 }{ 2 }$$ or 2

Question 16.
A two-digit number is such that the product of the digits is 14. When 45 is added to the number, the digits interchange their places. Find the number (solve by completing square method)
Let the ten’s digit be “x”
∴ The unit digit = $$\frac { 14 }{ x }$$
∴ The number is 10x + $$\frac { 14 }{ x }$$
If the digits are interchanged the number is $$\frac { 140 }{ x }$$ + x
By the given condition
10x + $$\frac { 14 }{ x }$$ + 45 = $$\frac { 140 }{ x }$$ + x
multiply by x
10x2 + 14 + 45x = 140 + x2
9x2 + 45x + 14 – 140 = 0
9x2 + 45x – 126 = 0
Divided by 9
x2 + 5x – 14 = 0
x2 + 5x = 14

Since the digit of the number can not be negative
∴ x = 2
The number = 10x + $$\frac { 14 }{ x }$$
= 20 + $$\frac { 14 }{ 2 }$$
= 20 + 7
= 27
The number is 27

Question 17.
A rectangular garden 10 m by 16 m is to be surrounded by a concreate walk of uniform width. Given that the area of walk is 120 sqm assuming the width of walk be ‘V form the equation then solve it by formula method.
Area of the garden = 16 × 10
= 160 sq.m

Area of the garden with walking area
= (1.6 + 2x) (10 + 2x)
= 160 + 32x + 20x + 4x2
= 4x2 + 52x + 160
Area of the concrete walk = Area of the garden with walk – Area of garden
= 4x2 + 52x + 160 – 160
120 = 4x2 + 52x
4x2 + 52x – 120 = 0
(÷ by 4) ⇒ x2 + 13x – 30 = 0
Here a = 1, b = 13, c = -30
(comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0)

Since the width cannot be negative. Width of the garden = 2 m

Question 18.
If α and β are the roots of the equation 3x2 – 5x + 2 = 0 find the value of
(i) $$\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}$$
(ii) α – β
(iii) $$\frac{\alpha^{2}}{\beta}+\frac{\beta^{2}}{\alpha}$$
Comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 3, b = -5, c = 2
α and β are the roots of the equation
3x2 – 5x + 2 = 0

(iii) $$\frac{\alpha^{2}}{\beta}+\frac{\beta^{2}}{\alpha}=\frac{\alpha^{3}+\beta^{3}}{\alpha \beta}$$

Question 19.
If α and β are the roots of the equation 3x2 – 6x + 1 = 0 from the equation whose roots are
(i) α2 β;β2α
(ii) 2α + β; 2β + a
α and β are the roots of 3x2 – 6x + 1 = 0
α + β = $$\frac { 6 }{ 3 }$$ = 2
αβ = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
(i) Given the roots are α2β and β2α
Sum of the roots = α2β + β2α
= αβ (α + β)
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$(2)
= $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$
Product of the roots = (α2β) x (β2α)
= α2β2
= (αβ)3
= ($$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$)3
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 27 }$$
x2 – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
x2 – ($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$) x + $$\frac { 1 }{ 27 }$$ = 0
multiply by 27
27x2 – 18x + 1 = 0

(ii) Given the roots are 2α + β; 2 β + α
Sum of the roots = 2α + β + 2 β + α
= 2(α + β) + (α + β)
= 2(2) + 2
= 6

x2 – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
x2 – 6x + $$\frac { 25 }{ 3 }$$ = 0
3x2 – 18x + 25 = 0
