Explanations
1) Let ∝ 𝛽 be roots of equation
Product of root (∝ 𝛽 ) = 𝑎
𝐶
Let 𝛽 =-2

–2 ∝= 22
⇒ ∝ = −11
Quadratic equation is of the form

x2 – (sum of root) x + Product of root

K = sum of root

⇒ –11 + 2 = 9.

Equation is 𝑥2 − 9𝑥 − 22
2)𝛼+𝛽 =5
𝛼𝛽 = 6
∴ 𝛼1 + 𝛽1 = 𝛼+𝛽𝛼𝛽 = 56
and 𝛼 × 𝛽 =
1 1 1
6
x2 - (sum of roots)x + Product of root

1 1
Equation have roots as 𝛼 and 𝛽
𝑥2 − 56 𝑥 + 16 ⇒ 6𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 1
3) Coefficient of nth term in expression (1 + x)y

⇒𝑦 𝐶𝑛 × 𝑥𝑛 × 1(𝑦−𝑛)
Coefficient of x3 = 12C3. (2x)3. 1(12 – 3)

= 9!12!×3! × 8 = 1760
4) If the perimeter is constant, Square will have the largest area

Area is maximum when all four sides are equal.

Area = side2 = 102 = 100 cm.

5) Let the number be(x), (x + 2) and (x + 4)

x2 + (x + 2)2 + (x + 4)2 = 155

⇒ x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 + x2 + 16 + 8x = 155

⇒ 3x2 + 12x – 135 = 0

⇒ x2 + 4x – 45 = 0

⇒ x = – 9 or x = 5

∵ (x) is a positive number ∴ x = 5

Sum = 5 + 7 + 9 = 21.

6) x2 – 5x + 6

⇒ 𝑥2 − 2 × 52 × 𝑥 + (( 52 ))2 − (( 52 ))2 + 6
(( 𝑥 − 52 ))2 + 6 − 254 ⇒ (( 𝑥 − 52 ))2 − 14
for 𝑥 = 2 , the expression has minimum value of – 4 .
5 1

7) Two equations 𝑎1 𝑥2 + 𝑏1 𝑥 + 𝑐1 = 0 and 𝑎2 𝑥2 + 𝑏2 𝑥 + 𝑐2 = 0have infinite number of solution when

𝑎1
𝑎2 = 𝑏𝑏12 = 𝑐𝑐12
∴ 12 = 𝐾5 = 119
55
K = 10 or K = 9
8) Let the roots be 𝛼 and 𝛽 of given equation.
\alpha + \beta = \frac{- a}{2} & \therefore a = - 10

\alpha \beta = \frac{b}{2} & \therefore \text{ } \text{ } b = 12

9) 𝑎2 𝑥2 + 𝑏2 𝑥 + 𝑐2 = 0
Where Tr is term of expression

T2, T3 and T4 are in A.P

∴ 2𝑇3 = 𝑇2 + 𝑇4
𝑇2 = ( )𝑛 𝐶1 . 𝑥1 (.1) (𝑛−1)
𝑇3 = ( )𝑛 𝐶2 . 𝑥2 (.1) (𝑛−2)
𝑇4 = ( )𝑛 𝐶3 . 𝑥3 (.1) (𝑛−3)
2 × ( )𝑛 𝐶2 = ( )𝑛 𝐶1 + ( )𝑛 𝐶3
⇒ 2×𝑛(𝑛−1)
2 = 𝑛 + 𝑛(𝑛−1)(𝑛−2)
6
⇒ 𝑛2 − 9𝑛 + 14 = 0
n = 2 or n = 7

(n) cannot be 2 as the expression has minimum of 4 value ∴ n = 7.

10) K2 – 5K + 1 = 0

∴ a + b = 5 and ab = 1
Let the equation with roots (2a + 1) and (2b + 1) be

K2 – xk + y = 0

X = Sum of roots of equation

x = 2a + 1 + 2b + 1

⇒ x = 2 (a + b) + 2 ⇒ x = 12 ……..(i)

Y= product of roots

y = (2a + 1) (2b + 1)

y = 4ab + 2a + 2b + 1

y = 4 + 10 + 1 = 15 ………(ii)

∴ from (i) and (ii) equation be

K2 – 12k + 15 = 0

11) Thumbsup price = x, Sprite price = y, Fanta price = z

7x + 5y + 1z = 575

6x + 2y + 8z = 480

Since there are 3 variables and only 2 equations, the system cannot be solved. Hence, the required cost cannot be determined with the available
data.

12) 10x + 20y = 700 …… (i)

10x – 20y = 220 …….(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii)

x = 46

y = 12

13) Let sugar be x/kg and ghee Rs. y/kg

8x + 9y = 1540……(i)

According to question

8(x + 5) + 9(y – 4) = 1155……(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii)

x = 35; y = 140

2 kg of sugar = 70.

14) Let the number of 2-rupee coins be x.

2x = 1(x + 4) + 12

x = 16

2 × 16 + (16 + 4) × 1 = 52.
15) Let there be x no. of students in the university.

4𝑥
Engineers =
5
4𝑥 × 1 = 10𝑥
Mechanical =
5 8
Non-mechanical = 350
350 +
𝑥
10 = 4𝑥5 ( Non-mechanical engineers + mechanical engineers = total number of engineers)
x = 500

16) Bike = x, Cars = y

x + y = 100 ……. (i)

2x + 4y = 280 …..(ii)

Solving

x = 60, y = 40.

17) x = Changu Age, y = Mangu Age.

x + y = 3(x – 21 + y – 21)

x + y = 3(x + y – 42)…..(i)

5
4 × 𝑥 = 𝑦……..(ii)
Solving

x = 28, y = 35.

18) Vivek = x, Salman = y

x + 25 = y – 25

y – x = 50…..(i)

4(x – 50) = y + 50….(ii)

Solving

x = 100, y = 150

x + y = 250.

19) Cheapest artificial = 10

Rest 3 artificial = 70 – 10 = 60

Cost of 3 natural = 60 × 2 = 120

Cost of the 4th natural flower = 250 – 120 = 130

130 will be highest as the rest 3 collectively are 120 only.

20) Eraser cost = 8, bought = x

Sharpener cost = 5, bought = y

8x + 5y = 90
x + y = 15

solving
y = 10, x = 5

21) Sansa = S; Arya = A; Jon = J; Tyrion = T

S = A + 70 …… (i)

J = A – 50 ……..(ii)

T = J + A + 80 ……(iii)

S + A + J + T = 700 ……(iv)

Substituting the values of (i), (ii) and (iii) in (iv) in the form of A, we get

S = 200, J = 80

A = 130, T = 270

Arya and Tyrion has to have at least 10 rupee notes each, so answer is 1 + 1 = 2.

22) Original number = xy

Given,

(((10𝑥 + 𝑦) × 34 ) − 9) = ((10𝑦 + 𝑥) × 43 ) + 9
30𝑥+3𝑦 − 40𝑦+4𝑥 = 18
4 ( 3 )
90x + 9y – 160y – 16x = 216

74x – 15y = 216…..(i)

x + y = 9……..(ii)

solving (i) & (ii)

x = 7, y = 2

Number is 72.

23) Amar = x, Akbar = y, Anthony = z

x + y + z = 64400 ….. (i)

2 × (𝑥 + 𝑦)…… (ii)
z= 3
x = 1 (𝑦 + 𝑧) + 700…… (iii)
2
Solving these, we get z = 18400.

24) Speed of A = x, Speed of B = y

30 , Time by B = 30
Time by A = 𝑥 𝑦
30
𝑥 = 30𝑦 + 3
30
𝑥 − 30𝑦 = 3……(i)
According to question
2𝑥 = 𝑦 − 2
30 30 3
30 − 30 = 3 ………(ii)
𝑦 2𝑥 2
Solving (i) & (ii)

𝑥 = 103 , 𝑦 = 5
25) Chicken wings → x, zinger → y, Corn → z

Ram → 2x + 5y + 9z ⇒ R (what Ram paid)…….(i)

Shyam → 4x + 10y + 13z ⇒ R (1 + 23 )(Shyam paid) ……(ii)

Multiplying (i) with 2, we get

4x + 10y + 18z = 2R …. (iii)

Subtracting (ii) from (iii)
