From the given condition, we have

5(x + 10) = x2

5x + 50 = x2

x2- 5x - 50 = 0

x2- 10x + 5x - 50 = 0

x(x - 10) + 5(x - 10) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 5) = 0

By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get

x - 10 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

x = 10 or x = - 5

Since, the score cannot be negative.

x = 10

The score of Suyash in the first test is 10 marks.

Solution 6

Let Mr. Kasam make x number of pots on daily basis.

Production cost of each pot = Rs. (10x + 40)

From the given condition, we have

x(10x + 40) = 600

10x2 + 40x = 600

10x2 + 40x - 600 = 0

Dividing both sides of above equation by 10, we get

x2 + 4x - 60 = 0

x2 + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0

x(x + 10) - 6(x + 10) = 0

(x + 10)(x - 6) = 0

By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get

x + 10 = 0 or x - 6 = 0

x = -10 or x = 6

Since, the number of pots cannot be negative.

x = 6

Production cost of each pot = (10x + 40)

= Rs [(10×6)+ 40]

= Rs (60 + 40)

= Rs 100

Production cost of one pot is Rs 100 and the number of pots Mr. Kasam makes per day is 6.

Solution 7

Let the speed of water current be x km/hr.

Speed of boat in still water is given as 12 km/hr. (x < 12)

In upstream, speed of the water current decreases the speed of the boat.

Whereas, in downstream, speed of the water current increases the speed of the boat.

speed of the boat in upstream = (12 - x) km/hr

and speed of the boat in downstream = (12 + x) km/hr

As,

∴ Time required to cover 36 km upstream  hrs

Time required to cover 36 km downstream  hrs

From the given condition, we have

∴ 216 = 288 - 2x2

∴ 2x2 + 216 - 288 = 0

∴ 2x2 - 72 = 0

Dividing both sides of above equation by 2, we get

x2 - 36 = 0

∴ x2 = 36

Taking square root on both the sides

∴ x = ±6

Since, the speed can't be negative.

∴ x = 6

∴ The speed of water current is 6 km/hr.

Solution 8

Let Nishu take x days to complete the work alone.

Total work done by Nishu in 1 day

Also, Pintu takes (x + 6) days to complete the work alone.

Total work done by Pintu in 1 day

Total work done by both in 1 day

It is given that both take 4 days to complete the work together.

Total work done by both in 1 day

From the given condition, we have

4(2x + 6) = x(x + 6)

8x + 24 = x2 + 6x

x2 + 6x - 8x - 24 = 0

x2- 2x - 24 = 0

x2- 6x + 4x - 24 = 0

x(x - 6)+ 4(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x + 4) = 0

x - 6 = 0 or x + 4 = 0

x = 6 or x = -4

But, number of days cannot be negative,

x = 6 and x + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12

Number of days taken by Nishu and Pintu to complete the work alone is 6 days and 12 days respectively.

Solution 9

Let the natural number be x.

Divisor = x, Quotient = 5x + 6

Also, Dividend = 460 and Remainder = 1

Since, Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

∴ 460 = x × (5x + 6) + 1

∴ 460 = 5x2 + 6x + 1

∴ 5x2 + 6x + 1 - 460 = 0

∴ 5x2 + 6x - 459 = 0

∴ 5x2 - 45x + 51x - 459 = 0

∴ 5x(x - 9) + 51(x - 9) = 0

∴ (x - 9)(5x + 51) = 0

x - 9 = 0 or 5x + 51 = 0

x = 9 or

Since, the natural number cannot be negative,

x = 9

Quotient = 5x + 6 = 5(9) + 6 = 45 + 6 = 51

Quotient is 51 and divisor is 9.

Let α and β be the roots of the quadratic equation.

And,

Now,

As per the given condition, roots of the required quadratic equation are

(α + β)2 and (α - β)2

Now,

sum of the roots = (α + β)2 + (α - β)2

= [-(p + q)]2 + (-(p - q)2)

= (p + q)2 - (p - q)2

= p2 + q2 + 2pq - (p2 + q2 - 2pq)

= p2 + q2 + 2pq - p2 - q2 + 2pq

= 4pq

 

Product of roots = (α + β)2 × (α - β)2

= [-(p + q)]2 [-(p - q)2]

= -(p + q)2 (p - q)2

= -[(p + q)(p - q)]2

Let the amount Sagar possesses be Rs x.

The amount Mukund possesses = Rs (x + 50)

As per the condition, we have

x(x + 50)= 15000

x2 + 50x - 15000 = 0

x2 + 150x - 100x - 15000 = 0

x(x + 150) - 100(x + 150) = 0

(x + 150)(x - 100) = 0

x + 150 = 0 or x - 100 = 0

x = -150 or x = 100

Since, amount cannot be negative.

x = 100 and x + 50 = 100 + 50 = 150

The amount possessed by Sagar and Mukund are Rs. 100 and Rs. 150 respectively.

Solution 12

Let the two numbers be x and y (x > y).

As per the given condition, we have

x2 - y2 = 120 … (I)

y2 = 2x … (II)

Substituting y2 = 2x in equation (i), we get

x2 - 2x = 120

x2- 2x - 120 = 0

x2- 12x + 10x - 120 = 0

x(x - 12) + 10(x - 12) = 0

(x - 12)(x + 10) = 0

x - 12 = 0 or x + 10 = 0

x = 12 or x = -10

When x ≠ -10,

y2 = 2x = 2(-10) = -20 … [Since, the square of number cannot be negative]

x = 12

Smaller number = y2 =2x

y2 = 2 × 12

y2 = 24

y = ± 24 [Taking square root of both sides]

The smaller number is 24 and greater number is 12 or the smaller number is -√24 and greater number is 12.

Solution 13

Let the number of students be x.

Total number of oranges = 540 … (Given)

The number of oranges each student gets

When there are 30 more students, we have

Total number of students = (x + 30)

and total number of oranges each student gets   

As per the given condition, we have

540×30 = 3x2 + 90x

3x2 + 90x - 540×30 = 0

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

x2 + 30x - 540×10 = 0

x2 + 30x - 5400 = 0

x2 + 90x - 60x - 5400 = 0

x(x + 90) - 60(x + 90) = 0

(x + 90)(x - 60) = 0

x + 90 = 0 or x - 60 = 0

x = -90 or x = 60

Since the number of students can't be negative.

x = 60

The total number of students is 60.

Solution 14

Let the breadth of the rectangular farm be x m.

Length of rectangular farm = (2x + 10) m

Now, Area of rectangular farm = Length × Breadth

= (2x + 10) × x

= (2x2 + 10x) sq. m

Now, side of square shaped pond  m

Area of square shaped pond = (side)2

According to the given condition, we have

Area of rectangular farm = 20 × Area of pond

Dividing both sides of the above equation by 2, we get

x = 0 or x - 45 = 0

x = 0 or x = 45

Since the breadth of the farm can't be zero.

∴ x = 45

Length of the rectangular farm = 2x + 10

= 2×45 + 10

= 90 + 10

= 100 m

Side of the pond  m

Length and breadth of the farm and the side of pond are 100 m, 45 m and 15 m respectively.

Solution 15

Let the larger tap take x hours to fill the tank completely.

Part of tank filled by the larger tap in 1 hour

Also, the smaller tap takes (x + 3) hours to fill the tank completely.

Part of tank filled by the smaller tap in 1 hour

Part of tank filled by both the taps in 1 hour

But, the tank gets filled in 2 hours by both the taps.

Part of tank filled by both the taps in 1 hour = ½

As per the given condition, we have

2(2x + 3) = x(x + 3)

4x + 6 = x2 + 3x

x2 + 3x - 4x - 6 = 0

x2- x - 6 = 0

x2- 3x + 2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

x = 3 or x = -2

But as we know that time cannot be negative.

x = 3 and x + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6

The larger tap takes 3 hours and the smaller tap takes 6 hours to fill the tank completely.
