25. Let, P(x) = 0

∴ x2 + 2x – 8 = 0

∴ x2 + 4x – 2x – 8 = 0

∴ x(x + 4) – 2(x + 4) = 0

∴ (x + 4) (x – 2) = 0

∴ x + 4 = 0 OR x – 2 = 0

∴ x=–4 OR x = 2

26. Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be a and b.

1 −b −4 c
\a+b= = a and ab = –1 = = a
4 4
\ a = 4, b = –1 and c = –4

So, one quadratic polynomial which fits the given conditions is 4x2   – x – 4. You can check that any other quadratic
polynomial that fits these conditions will be of the form k(4x2  –  x  –  4), where k is real.

27. 2x2 – 6x + 3 = 0

∴ a = 2, b = – 6 and c = 3

∴ b2 – 4ac = (– 6)2 – 4(2)(3) = 36 – 24 = 12

Here b2 – 4ac > 0, therefore, there are distinct real roots exist for given equation.

– b ! b 2 − 4ac
Now, x=

∴x=

28. Numbers divisible by 3 are,

102, 105, 108,... 999.

So, here a = 102, d = 105 – 102 = 3, an = 999
we have, an = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 999 = 102 + (n – 1) (3)
∴ 999 – 102 = (n – 1) (3)
∴ 897 = (n – 1)(3)
897
∴ =n–1
3
∴ 299 = n – 1
∴ n = 299 + 1
∴ n = 300
So, there are total 300 numbers of three digits which are divisible by 3.
29. a = 7, d = 13 – 7 = 6, an = 205, n = ______
an = a + (n – 1) d
\ 205 = 7 + (n – 1) 6
\ 205 – 7 = (n – 1) 6
198
\ =n–1
6
\ n – 1 = 33
\ n = 34
Hence, this given series has 34 terms in it.
30. The distance between P (2, –3) and Q (10, y) is 10 units.
∴ PQ = 10
∴ PQ2 = (10)2
∴ (2 – 10)2 + (–3 – y)2 = 100
∴ 64 + 9 + 6y + y2 – 100 = 0
∴ y2 + 6y – 27 = 0
∴ y2 + 9y – 3y – 27 = 0
∴ y(y + 9) – 3(y + 9) = 0
∴ (y + 9) (y – 3) = 0
∴ y+9=0 OR y–3=0
∴ y = – 9 OR y=3
Hence, y = – 9 and 3.
31. Let P(x, y) be equidistant from the points A(7, 1) and B(3, 5)
∴ AP = BP
∴ AP2 = BP2
∴ (x – 7)2 + (y – 1)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y – 5)2
∴ x2 – 14x + 49 + y2 – 2y + 1 = x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 – 10y + 25
∴ – 14x – 2y + 50 = – 6x – 10y + 34
∴ – 14x + 6x – 2y + 10y = 34 – 50
∴ – 8x + 8y = – 16
∴x–y=2
Therefore, x – y = 2 is the required relation.

Here, AB is the chimney, CD the observer ∠ADE the angle of elevation.

In ∆ ADE, ∠E right angled
AB = AE + BE = AE + 1.5 and DE = CB = 28.5 m
AE
Now, tan 45° =
DE
AE
∴ 1 =
28.5
∴ AE = 28.5
So, the height of chimney = AB = AE + 1.5 = 28.5 + 1.5 = 30 m.

38. 2x + 3y = 46 ...(1)

3x + 5y = 74 ...(2)

Multiply eq. (1) by 3 & eqn (2) by 2 and subtract them,

6x + 9y = 138

6x + 10y = 148

– – –

∴ –y = –10

∴ y = 10

Put y = 10 in (1),

2x + 3y = 46

∴ 2x + 3(10) = 46

∴ 2x + 30 = 46

∴ 2x = 46 – 30

∴ 2x = 16

∴ x=

∴ x=8

x = 8, y = 10

39. In two positive integers, biggest, positive integer is x.

As per condition,

biggest integer – smallest integer = 5

∴ x – smallest integer = 5

∴ smalletst integer = x – 5

4
 As per condition,
1 −1 = 1
x − 5 x 10
∴ 10x – 10 (x – 5) = x (x – 5)
∴ 10x – 10 x + 50 = x2 – 5x
∴ x2 – 5x - 50 = 0
∴ (x – 10) (x + 5) = 0
∴ x – 10 = 0 OR x + 5 = 0
∴ x = 10 = 0 OR x = – 5
But x = – 5 is not possible
∴ x = 10
∴ Biggest positive integer = x = 10 and
Smallest positive integer = x – 5 = 10 – 5 = 5

42. Let (–4, 6) divide the line segment joining the points A (–6, 10) and B (3, –8) internally in the ratio m1 : m2 using the section
formula, we get,

3m1 − 6m2 − 8m1 + 10m2

(–4, 6) = f , p
m1 + m2 m1 + m2
3m1 − 6m2
∴ –4 =
m1 + m2
∴ –4m1 – 4m2 = 3m1 – 6m2

∴ –4m1 – 3m1 = –6m2 + 4m2

∴ –7m1 = –2m2

∴ 7m1 = 2m2
m1 2
∴ m =
2 7
∴ m1 : m2 = 2 : 7

Therefore, the point (– 4, 6) divides the line segment joining the points A(– 6, 10) and B(3, – 8) in the ratio 2 : 7.

P 24 Q

Here, the tangent drawn to the circle from point Q. outside the circle with center O is PQ and Hence tangent point P

and radious r.

In ∆ OPQ, ∠P = 90°

∴ OP2 + PQ2 = OQ2 (Pythagoras theorem)

∴ r2 + (24)2 = (25)2

∴ r2 + 576 = 625

∴ r2 = 625 – 576

∴ r2 = 49

∴r=7

Therefore, The radius of the circle is 7  cm.

44. Here, POQT is a quadrilateral, in which the opposite angles are complementry angles.

∴ ∠POQ + ∠PTQ = 180°

∴ 110° + ∠PTQ = 180°

∴ ∠PTQ = 70°

∴ Let the speed of train is x km/hr.
360
∴ Time for this speed = x h
∴ Speed when increased by 5 km/h = x + 5

∴ Time for this speed = h

x2 + 45x – 40x – 1800 = 0
x(x + 45) – 40(x + 45) = 0
(x – 40)(x + 45) = 0
∴ x – 40 = 0 OR x + 45 = 0
∴ x = 40 OR x = – 45
But x = – 45 is impossible
∴ x = 40
The speed of the train is 40 km/hr.

50. 7 – a = b – 7 = 23 – b = c – 23
∴ b – 7 = 23 – b
∴ b + b = 23 + 7
∴ 2b = 30
∴ b = 15
Now, 7 – a = b – 7
∴ 7 – a = 15 – 7
∴ 7 – a = 8
∴ a = 7 – 8
∴ a = –1
and 23 – b = c – 23
∴ 23 – 15 = c – 23
∴ 8 = c – 23
∴ c = 23 + 8
∴ c = 31
51. Here the maximum class frequency is 8, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 3 – 5. So, the modal class is

∴ l = Lower limit of modal class = 3

Now, ∑fi = n = 60

∴ 45 + x + y = 60

∴ 45 + 8 + y = 60

∴ 53 + y = 60

∴ y = 60 – 53

∴ y = 7

Thus, x = 8 and y = 7.
