10. Let p(x) = 2x3 + x2 - 7x + 4 by (x - 2)
Now, g(x) = 0
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
By remainder theorem, we know that when p(x) is divided by (x - 2) then the remainder is p(2).
P(2) = 2 × (2) + (2) − 7 × 2 + 4 3 2

= 16 + 4 - 14 + 4 = 10
Hence, the required remainder is 10.​​
11. Let p(x) = 2x2 - 9x - 5 and g(x) = x - 5
Now, g(x) = 0
x - 5 = 0, x = 5
By factor theorem, g(x) will be factor of p(x) if p(5) = 0
And, p(5) = 2 × (5) − 9 × 5 − 5 2

= 50 - 45 - 5 = 50 - 50 = 0

3 / 13
9830284417amalesh1977.wixsite.com/pradhaneducation
 p(5) = 0, So g(x) is a factor of p(x)
Now, 2x2 - 9x - 5
2x2 - 10x + x - 5 [∵ (-5) × 2x2 = -10x2 and -10x × x = 10x2]
2x(x - 5) + 1(x - 5)
(2x + 1) (x - 5)​​
12. f(x) = x3 + 10x2 - 37x + 26
Let (x - 1) is a factor of f(x), then
f(l) = 13 + 10(1)2 - 37 × 1 + 26
= 37 - 37 = 0
So, it is clearly that x - 1 is a factor of f(x)
Now,

Now factor of x2 + 11x - 26 = x2 + 13x - 2x - 26

= x(x + 13) - 2(x + 13)
= (x + 13)(x - 2)
Hence
x3 + 10x2 - 37x + 26 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 13)
13. Let f(x) = 2x3 + ax2 + bx - 14 ...(i)
as (x - 2) is factor of equation (i)
Putting x - 2 = 0
i.e., x = 2 in equation (i)
f(2) = 2(2)3 + a( 2)2 + b(2) -14
0 = 16 + 4a + 2b - 14
or 4a + 2b = - 2
or 2a + b = - 1 ...(ii)
Again when f(x) is dividend by (x - 3), it leaves remainder 52.
Putting x - 3 = 0 or, x = 3
f(3) = 2(3)3 + a(3)2 + b(3) -14
52 = 54 + 9a + 3b -14
52 = 9a + 3b + 40
52 - 40 = 9a + 3b
⇒ 12 = 9a + 3b
or 3a + b = 4 ... (iii)
Solving (ii) and (iii),

Substitute a = 5 in 3a + b = 4,
⇒ 3 × 5 + b = 4

15 + b = 4
⇒ b = 4 - 15

b = - 11
Hence, a = 5 and b = -11.

Multiple of 7 which are less than 900 = 896.
First term = a = 504
Common difference = d = 7
Last term = an = 896
an = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ 896 = 509 + (n - 1)7
⇒ 896 = 500 + 7n - 7

⇒ 7n = 399

∴ n= = 57 399

Hence, the sum of all multiple of 7 lying between 500 and 900 is 39900.​​
20. Let three angles a - d, a, a + d are in an A.P.
a - d + a + a + d = 180o [We know that sum of all angles of a triangle is 180o]
⇒ 3a = 180o

6 / 13
9830284417amalesh1977.wixsite.com/pradhaneducation
 a = 60o
Again, a + d = 2(a - d) [∵ a = 60o]
⇒ 60 + d = 2(60 - d)

⇒ 60 + d = 120 - d
⇒ 60 - 120 = -2d - d

⇒ -60 = -3d
−60
∴ d= −3

60 - 20, 60, 60 + 20 are all three angles of a triangle.
40, 60, 80 are in an A.P.​​
21. Let the three terms of AP be
(x - d), x(x + d)
(x - d) + x + (x + d) = 33
⇒ 3x = 33

x = 11
According to questions
(x - y) (x + 0) - x = 29
x2 - d2 - x = 29
putting x = 11
⇒ (11)2 - d2 - (11) = 29
⇒ 121 - d2 - 11 = 29
⇒ 110 - d2 = 29
⇒ 110 - 29 = d2 ​
⇒ 81 = d2
⇒ d = 9

Since, we have x = 11 and d = 9

AP = (x - d), x, (x + d)
= (11 - 9), 11, (11 + 9)
AP = 2, 11, 20, 29, 38...​​

⇒ 437 × 2 = n(-8 + 3n - 3)
⇒ 874 = -n(3n - 11)

874 = 3n2 - 11n

⇒ 3n2 - 11n - 874 = 0
⇒ 3n2 - 57n + 46n - 874 = 0
⇒ 3n(n - 19) + 46(n - 19) = 0
⇒ (3n + 46)(n - 19) = 0
⇒ 3n + 46 = 0 or n - 19 = 0

⇒ 3n = 46 or n = 19
46
⇒ n=

Reject n = 46

as n should be ration no.
∴ n = 19

i. Given: p(3, 1) i.e. x = 3, y = 1

p' = ?
∵ using the above concept p'(2a - x, y)

26. Let the point P(2, a) divides the line joining the points A (-4, 3) find B(6, 3) in the ratio k : 1

By section formula, we get

6×k+1×−4 3×k+1×3
Coordinate.of P = ( k+1
,
k+1
) [∵ (x1, y1 ) ≡ (- 4, 3), (x2, y2) ≡ (6, 3) and m1 = k, m2 = 1]
But coordinates of P is given, i.e. (2, a).
6k−4 3k+3
∴ (2, a) = ( k+1

k+1

On equating x-coordinates both sides of Eq. (i), we get
6k=4 6 3
2= k+1
⇒ 2k + 2 = 6k − 4 ⇒ 4k = 6 ⇒ k =

⇒ k =

Hence, the point P divides the line joining the points (-4, 3) and (6, 3) in the ratio 3 : 2.

On comparing with y = mx + c. we get

i. i.e. slope of line AB = 1
ii. Slope = tan θ

θ = tan-11 = 45o
Hence line AB make 45o with +ve x-axis.

Hence, the height of the hill is 60 m.

ii. From Eq. (ii), BD = 20√3 = 20× 1.732 = 34.64 m
Hence, the distance between the hill and the tower is 34.64 m.

h = 50 √3 × √3
h = 150 m
Therefore the height of the hill is 150 m.
