 SECTION D

Question numbers 35 to 40 carry 4 marks each.

35. Obtain other zeroes of the polynomial

p(x) = 2x4 – x3 – 11x2 + 5x + 5

if two of its zeroes are 5 and – 5.

OR

What minimum must be added to 2x3 – 3x2 + 6x + 7 so that the resulting

polynomial will be divisible by x2 – 4x + 8 ?

36. Prove that the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the
square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

37. Sum of the areas of two squares is 544 m2. If the difference of their
perimeters is 32 m, find the sides of the two squares.

OR

A motorboat whose speed is 18 km/h in still water takes 1 hour more to

go 24 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the
speed of the stream.

38. A solid toy is in the form of a hemisphere surmounted by a right circular

cone of same radius. The height of the cone is 10 cm and the radius of the
base is 7 cm. Determine the volume of the toy. Also find the area of the
22
coloured sheet required to cover the toy. (Use  = and 149 = 12·2)
7

39. A statue 1·6 m tall, stands on the top of a pedestal. From a point on the
ground, the angle of elevation of the top of the statue is 60 and from the
same point the angle of elevation of the top of the pedestal is 45. Find
the height of the pedestal. (Use 3 = 1·73)
