CASE BASED STUDY QUESTIONS

26. Raj and Ajay are very close friends. Both the families decide to go to Ranikhet by their own cars.
Raj’s car travels at a speed of x km/h while Ajay’s car travels 5 km/h faster than Raj’s car. Raj took 4
hours more than Ajay to complete the journey of 400 km. (AO2)
(a). What will be the distance covered by Ajay’s car in two hours?
(b). Which of the following quadratic equation describe the speed of Raj’s car? (c).
What is the speed of Raj’s car?
(d). How much time took Ajay to travel 400 km?
(i) 20 hour (ii) 40 hour (iii) 25 hour (iv) 16 hour

27. Quadratic equations has many aspects in real life. Quadratic equations are very useful
while calculating areas of a room, box, perimeter a plot of land etc. For example
Rajuvinder need to make a top of a study table whose length is 1.5 m longer than its
breadth. He has various questions in his mind. Help him to answer the questions. (AO2)
(a) If Rajuvinder has 3m2 of plywood. He used it to make a top of a study table whose
length is 1.5 m longer than its breadth. Represent this situation in form of quadratic equation.
(b) What are the dimensions of top of the study table?
(c) What are the dimensions of square shaped study table?

28. The speed of a motor boat is 20 km/hr. For covering the distance of 15 km the boat took 1
hour more for upstream than downstream (AO2)

(a) Let speed of the stream be x km/hr. then speed of the motorboat in upstream will be
(b) What is the relation between speed, distance and time?

(c) Which is the correct quadratic equation for the speed of the current?

29. If p(x) is a quadratic polynomial then p(x) = 0 is a quadratic equation. Hence

p(x) = ax2 + bx + c = 0 is known as quadratic equation. The roots of the quadratic
equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 and zeros of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c are same.
The roots of the quadratic equation is obtained by solving the quadratic by factorisation
and by using quadratic formula or discriminant method. The roots of quadratic equation
may be equal or unequal or not real

√3 √3

(b) The roots of the quadratic equation 100x2 – 20x + 1 = 0 are

(i) unequal (ii) equal and real (iii) equal but not real (iv) both zeroes

(c) x4 + 1 + x2 = 0, has
(i) four real roots (ii) two real roots (iii) no real roots (iv) one real root
