42. Vedikawants to organize her birthday

party. She was happy on her birthday. She
is very health conscious. So decided to
serve fruits only to the guests. She has 36
apples, 60 bananas at home and decided
to serve them. She wants to distribute the
fruits among guests. She does not want to
discriminate anmong guests so she decided
to distribute the fruits equally among all.

3%
 H.C.F. (36, 60) = 12.
Thus, fruits will be equally distributed
among 12 guests.

guest get ?
(a) 3 apples 5 bananas
(b) 5 apples 3 bananas
(c) 2 apples 4 bananas
(d) 4 apples 2 bananas
Ans. (a) 3apples 5 bananas
Explanation:
Each guest will get number of apples = %=3
=
12

Each guest will get no. of bananas = = 5

Out of 36 apples and 60 bananas each guest
will get 3 apples, 5 bananas.
(iii) Vedika decide to add 42 mangoes. In this
case how many maximum guests Vedika can
invite?

(a) 12
(b) 120
(c) 6
(d) 180
Ans. (c)6
Explanation:

43. Suresh planned a rennovation of his

house. He wants to renovate ceiling of his
room by putting square shape tiles on it.
Ceiling of the room is 8 m 25 cm long and
6m 75 cm broad.
(i)Find the dimensions of each tiles.
(ii) Find the number of tiles required for
the project.
Sol. (i) Dimensions of tiles can be found by
finding the H.C.F. of 8 mn 25 cm and 6 m 75
cm

8m 25 cm = 825 cm =3x 52 x 11

6 m 75 cm =675 cm =33 x 52
.:. H.C.E. (825, 675)= 3x 52-75.
So, side of each square tile is 75 cm.
(iü) Required number of titles
Area of ceiling
Area of each tile

825x675 = 99

44. Sandhya on the very first day of her job

in a bank, noticed that there are six bells
which keep on tolling at regular intervals.
She noticed that toll of their intervals are
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 minutes respectively. If
all the six bells commence tolling together,
at 10 a.m., then answer the following

8 hrs 4 mins left in book 3%

 questions:
Based on the given information, answer
the following questions:
(i) At what time will they again toll
together?
(iü) How many times these bells will toll
together during the working hours of
Sandhya's job, if Sandhya works for 8 hours
in a day?
Sol. (i) In order to calculate the time interval
at which bells toll together, we need to find
out the L.C.M. of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
By prime factorisation, we get
2 =2, 4= 22
6= 2 x 3, 8= 23
10 =2 x 5, 12 =22 x3

.:. LC.M. (2, 4, 6,8, 10, 12) =23 x3 x5

= 120 min.

So,after every 120 min. or 2 hrs. bell will toll

together.
The time, these bells will toll together again
at

= 10a.m. + 2 hours
= 12 noon

(iü) Number of times bells will toll together

 \Assertion is true and reason is also true.
66. Assertion: x2 + 7x + 12 has no real ze
roes.

Reason: A quadratic polynomial can have at

the most twozeroes.

Ans. (d) Assertion is false but the Reason is

true.

Explanation:
x2 + 7x+ 12 =0

’ x2+ 4x +3x +12 =0

x(x +4) + 3(x + 4) =0
’ (x+ 4) (x+3) =0
’X=4or x=-3

Therefore, x2 +7x + 12 has two real zeroes.

Hence, Assertion is false but reason is true.
