Let the present age of Pragati be x years.
2 years ago, age of Pragati = (x - 2) years
After 3 years, age of Pragati = (x + 3) years
As per the condition given in the question,
(x - 2)(x + 3) = 84
∴ x(x + 3) - 2(x + 3) = 84
∴ x2 + 3x - 2x - 6 = 84
∴ x2 + x - 6 - 84 = 0
∴ x2 + x - 90 = 0
∴ x2 + 10x - 9x - 90 = 0
∴ x(x + 10) - 9(x + 10) = 0
∴ (x + 10)(x - 9) = 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 - 9 = 0

Let the first even natural number be x.
∴ The next consecutive even natural number will be (x + 2).
From the given condition, we have
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 244
∴ x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 = 244
∴ 2x2 + 4x + 4 - 244 = 0
∴ 2x2 + 4x - 240 = 0
Dividing both sides of above equation by 2
∴ x2 + 2x - 120 = 0
∴ x2 + 12x - 10x - 120 = 0
∴ x(x + 12) - 10(x + 12) = 0
∴ (x + 12)(x - 10) = 0
By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ x + 12 = 0 or x - 10 = 0
∴ x = -12 or x = 10
But, natural number cannot be negative.

∴ x(x+ 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0
∴ (x + 15)(x - 10) = 0
By using the property, if the product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero, we get
∴ x + 15 = 0 or x - 10 = 0
∴ x = -15 or x = 10
Since, the number of trees cannot be negative.
∴ x = 10
∴ Number of trees in a column is 10.
∴ Number of trees in a row = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

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 + 3 = 0
∴ x = 10 or x = -3
Since, the age cannot be negative.
∴ x = 10
And, x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15
∴ Present ages of Kishor and Vivek are 10 years and 15 years respectively.

Let Suyash score x marks in the first test.
∴ Score in the second test = x + 10
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.
From the first condition, we have
α + β = 5 … (I)
From the second condition, we have
α3 + β3 = 35 … (II)
Now, (α + β)3 = α3 + 3α2β + 3αβ2 + β3
∴ (α + β)3 = α3 + β3 + 3αβ(α + β)
Using equations (I) and (II)
∴ (5)3 = 35 + 3αβ(5)
∴ 125 = 35 + 15αβ
∴ 125 - 35 = 15αβ
∴ 15αβ = 90

Given quadratic equation is
2x2 + 2(p + q)x + p2 + q2 = 0 … (I)
Comparing the above equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = 2(p + q), c = p2 + q2
Let α and β be the roots of equation (I)
… (II)
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
= -(p2 - q2)2
∴ The required quadratic equation is
x2 - [(α + β)2 + (α - β)2]x + [(α + β)2 × (α - β)2] = 0
i.e. x2 - (4pq)x - (p2 - q2)2 = 0
Solution 11
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.
