Question 1.
What must be added to x4 – 3x2 + 2x + 6 to get x4 – 2x3 – x + 8?
Solution:
Let A be the required number to be added.
(x4 – 3x2 + 2x + 6) + A = x4 – 2x3 – x + 8
A = x4 – 2x3 – x + 8 – (x4 – 3x2 + 2x + 6)
= x4 – 2x3 – x + 8 – x4 + 3x2 – 2x – 6
= -2x3 + 3x2 – 3x + 2
Hence -2x3 + 3x2 – 3x + 2 must be added.

Question 2.
What must be subtracted to y4 + 2y3 – 3y + 8 to get y4 – 2y3 + 6?
Solution:
Let A be the required number to be subtracted.
(y4 + 2y3 – 3y2 + 8) – A = y4 – 2y3 + 6
y4 + 2y3 – 3y2 + 8 – (y4 – 2y3 + 6) = A
y4 + 2y3 – 3y2 + 8 – y4 + 2y3 – 6 = A
4y3 – 3y2 + 2 = A
Hence 4y3 – 3y2 + 2 must be subtracted.

Question 3.
The area of a rectangle is x4 + 9x2 + 20 sq.units and its length is x2 + 4 units. Find its breadth in term of x.
Solution:
Let the breadth of a rectangle be “b”
Length of the rectangle = x2 + 4
Area of the rectangle = x4 + 9x2 + 20
Length × Breadth = x4 + 9x2 + 20
(x2 + 4) × b = x4 + 9x2 + 20
b = $$\frac{x^{4}+9x^{2}+20}{x^{2}+4}$$
= x2 + 5
breadth of a rectangle = x2 + 5

Question 4.
Solve 3x + 4y = 24; 20x – 11y = 47 using cross multiplication method.
Solution:
3x + 4y – 24 = 0 → (1)
20x – 11y – 47 = 0 → (2)

$$\frac{x}{-452}$$ = $$\frac{1}{-113}$$
-113 = -452
x = $$\frac{452}{113}$$
= 4
But $$\frac{y}{-339}$$ = $$\frac{1}{-113}$$
-113y = -339
y = $$\frac{339}{113}$$
= 3
∴ The solution set is (4, 3)

Question 5.
A fraction such that if the numerator is multiplied by 3 and the denominator is reduced by 3, we get $$\frac{18}{11}$$, but if the numerator is increased by 8 and the denominator is doubled, we get $$\frac{2}{5}$$. Find the fraction.
Solution:
Let the numerator be x and the denominator be y
∴ The fraction is $$\frac{x}{y}$$
According to the given condition
$$\frac{3x}{y-3}$$ = $$\frac{18}{11}$$
33x = 18(y – 3)
33x = 18y – 54
33x – 18y – 54 = 0
11x – 6y – 18 = 0 ……. (1)
According to the second condition
$$\frac{x+8}{2y}$$ = $$\frac{2}{5}$$
5x + 40 = 4y
5x – 4y + 40 = 0 ……..(2)

∴ The fraction is = $$\frac{12}{25}$$

Question 6.
One number is greater than the thrice the other number by 2. If 4 times the smaller number exceeds the greater by 5, find the number.
Solution:
Let the greater number be x and the smaller number be “y” By the given first condition
x = 3y + 2
x – 3y = 2 ……(1)
Again by the given second condition
4y = x + 5
-x + 4y = 5 …….(2)
Add (1), (2) ⇒ y = 7
Substitute the value of y = 7 in (1)
x – 3(7) = 2
x = 2 + 21
= 23
The greater number is 23 and the smaller number is 7.

Question 7.
The cost of 11 pencils and 3 erasers is Rs 50 and the cost of 8 pencils and 3 erasers is Rs 38. Find the cost of 5 pencils and 5 erasers.
Solution:
Let the cost of a pencil be Rs x and the cost of an eraser be Rs y. According to the first condition.
11x + 3y = 50 …….(1)
According to the second condition
8x + 3y = 38 ……..(2)
(1) – (2) ⇒ 3x = 12
x = $$\frac{12}{3}$$
= 4
Substitute the value of x = 4 in (1)
11 (4) + 3y = 50
3y = 50 – 44
3y = 6
y = $$\frac{6}{3}$$
= 2
Cost of 5 pencils + 5 erasers = 5(4) + 5(2)
= 20 + 10
= 30
The required cost is Rs 30
