Ques [1] : Find the GCD of the following polynomials 12x⁴ + 324x and 36x³ + 90x² – 54x

Solution: 12x⁴ + 324x = 12x(x³ + 27) = 6 × 2x(x³ + (3)³) = 6 × 2x (x + 3)(x² + 9 –3x)

36x³ + 90x² – 54x = 18x(2x² + 5x – 3) = 6 × 3x (2x² + 6x – x – 3)

= 6 × 3x (2x (x+ 3) – 1(x + 3))

= 6 × 3x (x+ 3)(2x – 1)

Thus, the GCD of the given polynomials is 6x (x + 3).

Ques [2] : Solve for x and y:

$frac{2x}{a}+frac{y}{b}=2$ and $frac{x}{a}-frac{y}{b}=4$

Solution: We are given the equations as

$frac{2x}{a}+frac{y}{b}=2$ …(1)

$frac{x}{a}-frac{y}{b}=4$ …(2)

From (1) + (2), we get

$Rightarrowfrac{2x}{a}+frac{y}{b}+frac{x}{a}-frac{y}{b}=2+4 Rightarrowfrac{3x}{a}=6 Rightarrow x=2a$

Now, putting the value of x in the equation (1), we get

$Rightarrowfrac{2times2a}{a}+frac{y}{b}=2 Rightarrow 4+frac{y}{b}=2 Rightarrow frac{y}{b}=-2 Rightarrow y = -2b$

Thus, the solution of the given equations are x = 2a and y = –2b.

Solve for x and y: 31x + 29y = 33 and 29x + 31y = 27

Solution: We are given the equations as

31x + 29y = 33 …(1)

29x + 31y = 27 …(2)

From (1) + (2), we get

⇒31x + 29y + 29x + 31y = 33 + 27

⇒60x + 60y = 60

⇒60(x + y) = 60

⇒x + y = 1 …(3)

From (1) – (2), we get

⇒31x + 29y – 29x – 31y = 33 – 27

⇒2x – 2y = 6

⇒2(x – y) = 6

⇒x – y = 3 …(4)

From (3) + (4), we get

⇒2x = 4 x = 2

From (3) – (4), we get

⇒2y = –2 y = –1

Thus, we get x = 2 and y = –1

Ques [3]: Find the sum of all the three digits whole numbers which are multiple of 7

Solution: All the three-digits whole numbers are 100, 101, 102,…, 999.

Out of which, the multiples of 7 are 105, 112, 119, …, 994

Now,

⇒994 = 105 + (n – 1)(7)

⇒994 –105 = 7(n –1)

⇒889 = 7(n –1)

$Rightarrow n -1 =frac{889}{7}=127$

⇒ n = 127 + 1 = 128

Thus, the required sum of the whole numbers which are multiples of 7 is

$Rightarrow S=frac{n}{2}[a+l]Rightarrow S=frac{128}{2}[105+994]=70336$

Ques [4]: In the figure (1), PQ || AB and PR || AC. Prove that QR || BC.

pq-parallel-ab-pr-parallel-ac-prove-qr-parallel-bc

Solution: Since PQ || AB in ∆OAB, we get

$frac{OP}{AP}=frac{OQ}{BQ}$ …(1) [ By Basic Proportionally Theorem ]

Since PR || AC in ∆OAC, we get

$frac{OP}{AP}=frac{OR}{RC}$ …(2) [ By Basic Proportionally Theorem ]

From the equations (1) and (2), we get

$frac{OQ}{BQ}=frac{OR}{RC} Rightarrow$ QR | | BC [ By Converse of Basic Proportionally Theorem ]

In the figure (2) incircle of ∆ABC touches its sides AB, BC and CA at D, E and F respectively. If AB = AC, prove that BE = EC

Solution:

We know that the tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal in length. Thus, we get

Now, we have AB = AC ⇒ x + y = x + z ⇒ y = z ⇒ BE = EC.

Ques [5]: If the mean of the following frequency distribution is 49, find the missing frequency p:

CLASS	FREQUENCY
0-20	2
20-40	6
40-60	P
60-80	5
80-100	2

Solution:

Class	Class-Mark (x)	Frequency (f)	x×f
0-20	10	2	20
20-40	30	6	180
40-60	50	p	50p
60-80	70	5	350
80-100	90	2	180
	TOTAL	15 + p	730 + 50p

Now, we know that the mean of the grouped frequency is

$M=frac{Sigma(xf)}{Sigma(f)}Rightarrow 49= frac{730+50p}{15+p}Rightarrow 49(15+p) = 730 + 50p Rightarrow 735 + 49p= 730+50pRightarrow p=5$

Ques [6]: A wrist watch is available for Rs. 1000 cash or Rs. 500 as cash down payment followed by three equal monthly installments of Rs. 180. Calculate the rate of interest charged under the installment plan.

Solution: Here, we have

P = Rs. 1000,

A = Rs. (500 + 180 × 3) = Rs. (500 + 540) = Rs 1040

T = 3 Months = $frac{3}{12}=frac{1}{4}$ years
