1. Solve by factorization
b.
Ans:
a + b ≠ 0.
c. a + b ≠0
Ans:
⇒ (a + b){x(a + b + x) + ab} = 0
⇒ x(a + b + x) + ab=0
⇒ x2 + ax +bx + ab=0
⇒ (x + a)(x + b) = 0
⇒ x=-a x =-b
d. (x – 3) (x – 4)
⇒ x2-7x+12=
1
e. x ≠2
Ans: x ≠ 2
⇒ 4x -3x2=3-2x
⇒ 3x2-6x+3=0
⇒ (x-1)2=0
x =1, 1.
2. By the method of completion of squares show that the equation 4x2+3x +5 = 0 has no
real roots.
Ans: 4x2+3x+5=0
2
not a real no.
3. The sum of areas of two squares is 468m2 If the difference of their perimeters is
24cm, find the sides of the two squares.
Ans: Let the side of the larger square be x.
x2 + y2 = 468
4. A dealer sells a toy for Rs.24 and gains as much percent as the cost price of the toy.
Find the cost price of the toy.
5. A fox and an eagle lived at the top of a cliff of height 6m, whose base was at a
distance of 10m from a point A on the ground. The fox descends the cliff and went
straight to the point A. The eagle flew vertically up to a height x metres and then
flew in a straight line to a point A, the distance traveled by each being the same.
3
Find the value of x.
Ans: Distance traveled by the fox = distance traveled by the eagle
on solving we get
x = 2.72m.
6. A lotus is 2m above the water in a pond. Due to wind the lotus slides on the side and
only the stem completely submerges in the water at a distance of 10m from the
original position. Find the depth of water in the pond.
x2 + 4x + 4 = x2 + 100
⇒ 4x + 4 = 100
⇒ x = 24
Depth of the pond = 24m
7. Solve
Ans:
⇒ x =
⇒ x2 = 6 + x
⇒ x2 - x – 6 = 0
⇒ (x -3) (x + 2) = 0
⇒ x = 3
8. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20m. If the difference between the length of the
4
other sides is 4m. Find the sides.
Ans: APQ
x2 + y2 = 202
x2 + y2 = 400
also x - y = 4
⇒ x = 404 + y
(4 + y)2 + y2 = 400
⇒2y2 + 8y – 384 = 0
⇒ (y + 16) (y – 12) = 0
⇒ y = 12 y = – 16 (N.P)
∴sides are 12cm & 16cm
9. The positive value of k for which x2 + Kx + 64 = 0 & x2 - 8x + k = 0 will have real roots.
Ans: x2 + Kx + 64 = 0
⇒ b2 -4ac ≥ 0
K2 - 256 ≥ 0
K ≥ 16 or K ≤ - 16 …………… (1)
x2 - 8x + K = 0
64 – 4K ≥ 0
⇒ 4K ≤ 64
K ≤ 16 …………… (2)
From (1) & (2) K = 16
10. A teacher on attempting to arrange the students for mass drill in the form of a solid
square found that 24 students were left over. When he increased the size of the
square by one student he found he was short of 25 students. Find the number of
students.
No. of students = x2 + 24
New side = x + 1
5
No. of students = (x + 1)2 – 25
APQ ⇒ x2 + 24 = (x + 1)2 – 25
⇒ x2 + 24 = x2 + 2 x + 1 - 25
⇒ 2x = 48
⇒ x = 24
∴ side of square = 24
No. of students = 576 + 24
= 600
11. A pole has to be erected at a point on the boundary of a circular park of diameter
13m in such a way that the differences of its distances from two diametrically
opposite fixed gates A & B on the boundary in 7m. Is it possible to do so? If answer is
yes at what distances from the two gates should the pole be erected.
Ans: AB = 13 m
BP = x
⇒ AP – BP = 7
⇒ AP = x + 7
APQ
⇒ (13)2 = (x + 7)2 + x2
⇒ x2 +7x – 60 = 0
(x + 12) (x – 5) = 0
⇒ x = - 12 N.P
x = 5
∴Pole has to be erected at a distance of 5m from gate B & 12m from gate A.
12. If the roots of the equation (a-b)x2 + (b-c) x+ (c - a)= 0 are equal. Prove that 2a=b + c.
6
Ans: (a-b)x2 + (b-c) x+ (c - a) = 0
T.P 2a = b + c
B2 – 4AC = 0
⇒ (b + c - 2a)2 = 0
⇒ b + c = 2a
13. X and Y are centers of circles of radius 9cm and 2cm and XY = 17cm. Z is the centre
of a circle of radius 4 cm, which touches the above circles externally. Given that
, write an equation in r and solve it for r.
Ans: Let r be the radius of the third circle
XY = 17cm ⇒ XZ = 9 + r YZ = 2
APQ
⇒ r2 + 18r + 81 + r2 + 4r + 4 = 289S
⇒ r2 + 11r - 10r = 0
(r + 17) (r – 6) = 0
⇒ r = - 17 (N.P)
r = 6 cm
∴radius = 6cm.

(i) x2−45x+324=0
(ii) x2−55x+750=0
⇒ x2−36x−9x+324=0
⇒ x(x−36) – 9(x−36)=0
⇒ (x−9)(x−36)=0
⇒ x=9,36
(ii) x2−55x+750=0
⇒ x2−25x−30x+750=0
⇒ x(x−25) – 30(x−25)=0
⇒ (x−30)(x−25)=0
⇒ x=30,25
14
Therefore,
x(27−x)=182
⇒ 27x−x2=182
⇒ x2−27x+182=0
⇒ x2−14x−13x+182=0
⇒ x(x−14) – 13(x−14)=0
⇒ (x−14)(x−13)=0
⇒ x=14,13
x2+(x+1)2=365 {(a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab}

Dividing equation by 2
⇒ x2+x– 182=0
⇒ x2+14x−13x– 182=0
15
⇒ x(x+14) – 13(x+14)=0

2. An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between
Mysore and Bangalore (without taking into consideration the time they stop at
intermediate stations). If, the average speed of the express train is 11 km/h more than
that of the passenger train, find the average speed of two trains.
⇒ 132(11)=x(x+11)
⇒ 1452=x2+11x
⇒ x2+11x– 1452=0
Comparing equation x2+11x– 1452=0 with general quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, we get
a=1,b=11 and c=−1452

⇒ 2x2+576+48x=468×16
56
⇒ 2x2+48x+576=7488
⇒ 2x2+48x– 6912=0
⇒ x2+24x– 3456=0
⇒ x=48,−72
Perimeter of square cannot be in negative. Therefore, we discard x=−72.
Therefore, perimeter of first square = 48 metres
And, Perimeter of second square = x+24=48+24=72 metres
4. Is it possible to design a rectangular park of perimeter 80 metres and area 400 m2. If
so, find its length and breadth.
57
We are given perimeter of rectangle = 80 metres
According to condition:
⇒ 2x2+800=80x
⇒ 2x2−80x+800=0
⇒ x2−40x+400=0
5. If I had walked 1 km per hour faster, I would have taken 10 minutes less to walk 2
km. Find the rate of my walking.
Ans. Distance = 2 km
Let speed = km/hr
New speed = (x+1) km/hr
58
Time taken by new speed =
According to question,
6. A takes 6 days less than the time taken by B to finish a piece of work. If both A and B
together can finish it in 4 days, find the time taken by B to finish the work.
Ans. Let B takes days to finish the work, then A alone can finish it in days
According to question,
(Neglect)
So, B takes days.
7. A plane left 30 minutes later than the schedule time and in order to reach its
59
destination 1500 km away in time it has to increase its speed by 250 km/hr from its
usual speed. Find its usual speed.
According to question,
8. A motor boat, whose speed is 15 km/hr in still water, goes 30 km downstream and
comes back in a total time of 4 hr 30 minutes, find the speed of the stream.
60
Speed of stream = 5 km/hr
9. A swimming pool is filled with three pipes with uniform flow. The first two pipes
operating simultaneously fill the pool in the same time during which the pool is the
same time during which the pool is filled by the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills
the pool five hours faster than the first pipe and four hours slower than the third pipe.
Find the time required by each pipe to fill the pool separately.
Ans. Let be the number of hours required by the second pipe alone to till the pool and first
pipe hour while third pipe hour
10. A two-digit number is such that the product of its digits is 18. When 63 is subtracted
from the number the digit interchange their places. Find the number.
61
=
According to question,
Number = = 92
11. A factory kept increasing its output by the same percent ago every year. Find the
percentage if it is known that the output is doubled in the last two years.
2P
12. Two pipes running together can fill a cistern in if one pipe takes 3
minutes more than the other to fill it, find the time in which each pipe would fill the
cistern.
Ans. Let the faster pipe takes minutes to fill the cistern and the slower pipe will take
62
minutes.
According to question,
Ans.
14. Two circles touch internally. The sum of their areas is 116 cm2 and the distance
between their centres is 6 cm. Find the radii of the circles.
63
Ans. Let and be the radius of two circles
According to question,
(Given)
(Neglect) or r1 = 4 cm
15. A piece of cloth costs Rs. 200. If the piece was 5 m longer and each metre of cloth
costs Rs. 2 less the cost of the piece would have remained unchanged. How long is the
64
piece and what is the original rate per metre?
According to question,
Ans. ax2+bx+x = 0
65
17. The length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangleexceeds the length of the base
by 2 cm and exceeds twice the length of the altitude by 1 cm. Find the length of each
side of the triangle.
According to question,
66
Base = 15 cm
Altitude =
Hypotenuse = 17 cm
18. Find the roots of the following quadratic equations if they exist by the method of
completing square.
(i) 2x2−7x+3=0
(iii)
(iv) 2x2+x+4=0
67
⇒ {(a−b)2=a2+b2−2ab}
⇒ ⇒
Therefore,
Dividing equation by 2,
⇒ {(a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab}
68
⇒
Therefore,
(iii)
Dividing equation by 4,
⇒ {(a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab}
69
⇒
(iv) 2x2+x+4=0
Dividing equation by 2,
⇒ {(a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab}
Right hand side does not exist because square root of negative number does not exist.
