(4) 15 : 20 =   That is, 75%
20 20  5 100
(5) 3x + 5y = 9 ........(1)
5x + 3y = 7 ........(2)
8x + 8y = 16 .............Adding (1) and (2)
x + y = 2 ............. dividing by 8
(6) The lower and upper class limits of class 35 to 40 are 35 and 40 respectively.

∴ Mean of yield per acre prouce is 7 quintals.

(2) Suppose, the amount sent to Alka every month is x. She spends
90% of it.
∴ She saves 10 % of the amount, which is ` 120
10
∴ 120 = x×
100
∴ 120 × 10 = x
∴ x = 1200
∴ Amount sent to Alka every month is ` 1200.
(3) P(y) = y²-2y +5
∴ P(2) = 2²- 2 × 2 + 5
=4-4+5

 (2) In the A.P. 1,3,5,....,149
a = 1 , d = 2 , t n = 149
tn
= a + (n-1)d
149 = 1+ (n-1) × 2
149 = 1 + 2n -2
149 = 2n - 1
∴ 2n = 150

∴ n = 75

(3) ∴ n(S) = 42
∴ n(A) = 3
n( A )
∴ P(A) =
n(S)

∴ P(A) =

Q. 3 (B) 4
(1) 5m² - 22m - 15 = 0
∴ 5m² - 25m + 3m - 15 = 0

∴ 5m (m - 5) + 3(m - 5) =0

∴ (m - 5) (5m + 3) = 0

∴ m - 5 = 0 or 5m + 3 = 0
−3
∴ m = 5 or m =
5

(2) 3x - 4y = 10
4x + 3y = 5

c 7
αβ=   7
a 1

α² + β ² = (α + β)²-2 αβ

(2) In three digit natural numbers, the numbers divisible by 5 are 100, 105,
..., 995.
This is an A.P. with a = 100, d = 5 and tn = 995
tn = a + (n -1) d
∴ 995 = 100 + (n-1)5
∴ 995 - 100 = (n - 1) 5
∴ 895 = n - 1
5
∴ 179 = n - 1
∴ n = 180 ∴ there are 180 numbers.

(4) The sample space,

S = {10,12,13,14,20,21,23,24,30,31,32,34,40,41,42,43}
∴ n(S) = 16
Let A be the event that the number is a prime.
∴ A = {13,23,31,41,43}
∴ n(A) = 5
n( A ) 3 5
∴ P(A) = ==

Q. 5 4
(1) Suppose, Vivek completes a work in x days.
Yogesh completes the same work in ( x + 3) days.
1
∴ Work done by Vivek in one day
=
x
1

and work done by Yogesh in one day =
x +3
1
Work done by both of them together in one day = 2

from the given condition,

1 1 1

+ x +3
= 2
x

∴ x +3+ x = 1

x( x + 3) 2

∴ 22x + 3 = 1

x + 3x 2

∴ x² + 3x = 2(2x + 3)

or, a = 1, b = -1, c = -6
∴ x² + 3x = 4x + 6

∴ x² + 3x - 4x -6 = 0
∴x =
−b ± b 2 − 4ac
2a
∴ x² - x - 6 = 0

1 ± (−1)2 − 4(1)(−6)
=
∴ x² -3x +2x - 6 =0
2
∴ x (x-3) + 2 (x -3) =0
=
1 ± 25
2
∴ (x -3) (x +2) = 0

1+ 5 1− 5
∴ x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
∴x= =3 or x = = −2
2 2
∴
x = 3 or x = -2
but the number of days is not negative

∴x=3
∴ x + 3 = 3 +3 = 6
∴ Vivek completes the work in 3 days and Yogesh in 6 days.

(2) Example : The sum of present ages of Madhu and Raju is 11 years.
Madhu is elder than Raju by 9 years. Find their present ages.
Solution : Let the present age of Madhu be x years and the age of
Raju be y years..
∴ x + y =11 ................(I)
x-y=9 .................(II)
2x = 20 adding (I) and (II)
∴ x = 10
x + y = 11
∴ 10 + y = 11
∴ y = 11 - 10
∴ y=1
∴ Present age of Madhu is 10 years and of Raju is 1 year.
