Answer:

The given equation is (3x2 + 2x  1 = 0).(i) x = (1) L.H.S. = x2 + 2x  1= 3 × (1)2 + 2 × (1)  1= 3  2  1= 0= R.H.S.Thus, (1) is a root of (3x2 + 2x  1 = 0).(ii) On substituting x = 13 in the given equation, we get:L.H.S. = 3x2 + 2x  1  = 3 × 132 + 2 × 13  1 = 3 1× 193+ 23  1= 1 + 2  33 = 03= 0= R.H.S.Thus,  13 is a root of (3x2 + 2x  1 = 0).(iii) On substituting x = 12 in the given equation, we get:L.H.S. = 3x2 + 2x  1  = 3 × 122 + 21 × 121  1 = 3 × 14 1 1= 34  2= 3  84= 54  0Thus, L.H.S.= R.H.S.Hence, 12 is a not solution of  (3x2 + 2x  1= 0).

Answer:

(i)
It is given that (x=1) is a root of (x2 + kx + 3 = 0). Therefore, (x=1) must satisfy the equation. (1)2 + k × 1 + 3 = 0  k + 4 = 0  k = 4Hence, the required value of k is 4.
So, the equation becomes x2-4x+3=0
On factorising we get;
x2-x-3x+3=0x(x-1)-3(x-1)=0(x-1)(x-3)=0x-1=0 or x-3=0x=1 or x=3
Hence, the other root is 3.

(ii)
It is given that 34 is a root of ax2 + bx  6 = 0; therefore, we have:a × (34)2 + b × 34 6 = 0 9a16 + 3b4 = 6 9a + 12b16 = 6 9a + 12b  96 = 0 3a + 4b = 32        ...(i) Again, (2) is a root of ax2 + bx  6 = 0; therefore, we have:a×(2)2 + b×(2)  6 = 0 4a  2b = 6 2a  b = 3        ...(ii)On multiplying (ii) by 4 and adding the result with (i), we get: 3a + 4b + 8a  4b = 32 + 12 11a = 44 a = 4Putting the value of a in  (ii), we get:2×4  b = 3  b = 3 b = 5Hence, the required values of a and b are 4 and 5, respectively.

Answer:

Let son's age 2 years ago be x years. Then,

Man's age 2 years ago = 3x2 years

∴ Son's present age = (x + 2) years

Man's present age = (3x2 + 2) years

In three years time,

Son's age = (x + 2 + 3) years = (x + 5) years

Man's age = (3x2 + 2 + 3) years = (3x2 + 5) years

According to the given condition,

Man's age = 4 × Son's age

∴ 3x2 + 5 = 4(x + 5)

3x2+5=4x+203x2-4x-15=03x2-9x+5x-15=03xx-3+5x-3=0
x-33x+5=0x-3=0 or 3x+5=0x=3 or x=-53
x = 3              (Age cannot be negative)

Son's present age = (x + 2) years = (3 + 2) years = 5 years

Man's present age = (3x2 + 2) years = (3 × 9 + 2) years = 29 years

Answer:

Let the first speed of the truck be x km/h.

∴ Time taken to cover 150 km = 150x h                                 Time =DistanceSpeed

New speed of the truck = (x + 20) km/h

∴ Time taken to cover 200 km = 200x+20 h

According to the given condition,

Time taken to cover 150 km + Time taken to cover 200 km = 5 h
150x+200x+20=5150x+3000+200xxx+20=5350x+3000=5x2+20x350x+3000=5x2+100x

x-60x+10=0x-60=0 or x+10=0x=60 or x=-10
x = 60                  (Speed cannot be negative)

Hence, the first speed of the truck is 60 km/h.

Answer:

Let the original speed of the plane be x km/h.

∴ Actual speed of the plane = (x + 100) km/h

Distance of the journey = 1500 km

Time taken to reach the destination at original speed = 1500x h                             Time=DistanceSpeed

Time taken to reach the destination at actual speed = 1500x+100 h

According to the given condition,

Time taken to reach the destination at original speed = Time taken to reach the destination at actual speed + 30 min

1500x=1500x+100+12                          30 min=3060h=12h1500x-1500x+100=121500x+150000-1500xxx+100=12150000x2+100x=12

Answer:

Let the usual speed of the train be x km/h.

∴ Reduced speed of the train = (x − 8) km/h

Total distance to be covered = 480 km

Time taken by the train to cover the distance at usual speed = 480x h                  Time=DistanceSpeed

Time taken by the train to cover the distance at reduced speed = 480x-8 h

According to the given condition,

Time taken by the train to cover the distance at reduced speed = Time taken by the train to cover the distance at usual speed + 3 h

480x-8=480x+3480x-8-480x=3480x-480x+3840xx-8=33840x2-8x=3

∴ Time taken to cover 54 km = 54x h                                 Time =DistanceSpeed

New speed of the train = (x + 6) km/h

∴ Time taken to cover 63 km = 63x+6 h

According to the given condition,

Time taken to cover 54 km + Time taken to cover 63 km = 3 h
54x+63x+6=354x+324+63xxx+6=3117x+324=3x2+6x117x+324=3x2+18x

x = 36                  (Speed cannot be negative)

Hence, the first speed of the train is 36 km/h.

Page No 227:

Answer:

Distance covered by the train = 180 km
We know that distance covered(d)=speed(s)×time(t)
s×t=180s=180t          ...i
Also, given that if the speed is increased by 9km/h, time of travel gets reduced by 1 hour. 
(s+9)(t-1)=180          ...(ii)
Put the value of (i) in (ii), we get
180t+9(t-1)=180(180+9t)(t-1)=180t180t-180+9t2-9t=180t9t2-9t-180=0t2-t-20=0t2-5t+4t-20=0t(t-5)+4(t-5)=0(t+4)(t-5)=0(t+4)=0 or (t-5)=0t=-4 or t=5
Ignore the negative value
So, time taken = 5 hours
From (i)
s=180t=1805=36
Hence, the speed is 36 km/h.

Also, given that if the speed is increased by 5 km/h, time of travel gets reduced by 2 hours. 
(s+5)(t-2)=300          .....(ii)
Put the value of (i) in (ii), we get
s+5300s-2=300(s+5)300-2ss=300(s+5)(300-2s)=300s300s-2s2+1500-10s=300s-2s2+1500-10s=0-s2+750-5s=0s2+5s-750=0s2+30s-25s-750=0s(s+30)-25(s+30)=0(s-25)(s+30)=0(s-25)=0 or (s+30)=0s=25 or s=-30

Page No 228:

Answer:

Let the time taken by one pipe to fill the tank be x minutes.

∴ Time taken by the other pipe to fill the tank = (x + 5) min

Suppose the volume of the tank be V.

Volume of the tank filled by one pipe in x minutes = V

∴ Volume of the tank filled by one pipe in 1 minute = Vx

⇒ Volume of the tank filled by one pipe in 1119 minutes = Vx×1119=Vx×1009

Similarly,

Volume of the tank filled by the other pipe in 1119 minutes = Vx+5×1119=Vx+5×1009

Now,

Volume of the tank filled by one pipe in 1119 minutes + Volume of the tank filled by the other pipe in 1119 minutes = V
V1x+1x+5×1009=V1x+1x+5=9100x+5+xxx+5=91002x+5x2+5x=9100

x-209x+25=0x-20=0 or 9x+25=0x=20 or x=-259

x = 20                    (Time cannot be negative)

Time taken by one pipe to fill the tank = 20 min

Time taken by other pipe to fill the tank = (20 + 5) = 25 min

Page No 228:

Answer:

Let the tap of smaller diameter fill the tank in x hours.

∴ Time taken by the tap of larger diameter to fill the tank = (x − 9) h

Suppose the volume of the tank be V.

Volume of the tank filled by the tap of smaller diameter in x hours = V

∴ Volume of the tank filled by the tap of smaller diameter in 1 hour = Vx

⇒ Volume of the tank filled by the tap of smaller diameter in 6 hours = Vx×6

Similarly,

Volume of the tank filled by the tap of larger diameter in 6 hours = Vx-9×6

Now,

Volume of the tank filled by the tap of smaller diameter in 6 hours + Volume of the tank filled by the tap of larger diameter in 6 hours = V
V1x+1x-9×6=V1x+1x-9=16x-9+xxx-9=162x-9x2-9x=16

x-18x-3=0x-18=0 or x-3=0x=18 or x=3


For x = 3, time taken by the tap of larger diameter to fill the tank is negative which is not possibe.

x = 18                   

Time taken by the tap of smaller diameter to fill the tank = 18 h

Time taken by the tap of larger diameter to fill the tank = (18 − 9) = 9 h

Hence, the time taken by the taps of smaller and larger diameter to fill the tank is 18 hours and 9 hours, respectively.

Let the altitude of the triangle be x cm.
Therefore, the base of the triangle will be (+ 10) cm.
Area of triangle = 12 x (x + 10) = 600 x(x + 10) = 1200 x2 + 10x  1200 = 0 x2 + (40  30)x  1200 = 0 x2 + 40x  30x  1200 = 0 x(x + 40)  30(x + 40) = 0 (x + 40)(x  30) = 0 x = 40 or x = 30 x = 30   [ Altitude cannot be negative]Thus, the altitude and base of the triangle are 30 cm and (30 + 10 = 40) cm, respectively. Hypotenuse2 = Altitude2 + Base2 Hypotenuse2 = 302 + 402 Hypotenuse2 = 900 + 1600 = 2500 Hypotenuse2 = 502 Hypotenuse = 50Thus, the dimensions of the triangle are: ,Hypotenuse = 50 cmAltitude = 30 cmBase = 40 cm

Page No 229:

Answer:

Let the altitude of the triangle be x m.
Therefore, the base will be 3x m.

Area of a triangle = 12 × Base × Altitude

 12 × 3x × x = 96  ( Area = 96 sq m) x22 = 32 x2 = 64 x = ±8


The value of cannot be negative.
Therefore, the altitude and base of the triangle are 8 m and (3 × 8 = 24 m), respectively.

Page No 229:

Answer:

Let the base be x m.
Therefore, the altitude will be x + 7 m.

Area of a triangle = 12 × Base × Altitude

 12 × x × (x + 7) = 165 x2 + 7x = 330 x2 + 7x  330 = 0 x2 + (22  15)x  330 = 0 x2 + 22x  15x  330 = 0 x(x + 22)  15(x + 22) = 0 (x + 22)(x  15) = 0 x = 22 or x = 15

The value of x cannot be negative.
Therefore, the base is 15 m and the altitude is {(15 + 7) = 22 m}.

The value of x cannot be negative.
Therefore, the base is 12 m and the other side is {(12 + 4) = 16 m}.

Answer:

Let the base and altitude of the right-angled triangle be x and y cm, respectively.
Therefore, the hypotenuse will be (x + 2) cm.
 (x + 2)2 = y2 + x2           ...(i)Again, the hypotenuse exceeds twice the length of the altitude by 1 cm. h = (2y + 1) x + 2 = 2y + 1 x = 2y  1Putting the value of x in (i), we get:(2y  1 +  2)2 = y2 + (2y  1)2 (2y + 1)2 = y2 + 4y2  4y + 1 4y2 + 4y + 1 = 5y2  4y + 1 y2 + 8y = 0 y2  8y = 0 y(y   8) = 0 y = 8 cm x = 16  1 = 15 cm h = 16 + 1 = 17 cm

Thus, the base, altitude and hypotenuse of the triangle are 15 cm, 8 cm and 17 cm, respectively.

Answer:

Let the shortest side be x m.
Therefore, according to the question:
Hypotenuse = 2x - 1
Third side = x + 1 m
On applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

(2x  1)2 = (x + 1)2 + x2 4x2  4x + 1 = x2 + 2x + 1 + x2 2x2  6x = 0 2x(x  3) = 0 x = 0 or x = 3

The length of the side cannot be 0; therefore, the shortest side is 3 m.
Therefore,
Hypotenuse = 2 × 3 - 1 = 5 m
Third side = (3 + 1) = 4 m

Answer:

Let the speed of faster train be x km/h.
Then, the speed of slower train is (− 10) km/h.

Given:
A faster train takes one hour less than a slower train for a journey of 200 km.

DistanceSpeed=Time

Time taken by faster train to cover 200 km = 200x h
Time taken by slower train to cover 200 km = 200x-10 h

According to the question,

200x-10-200x=1200x-200x-10xx-10=1200x-200x+2000x2-10x=12000=x2-10xx2-10x-2000=0x2-50x+40x-2000=0xx-50+40x-50=0x-50x+40=0x=50, -40But x is the speed of the train, which is always positive.Thus, x=50
and − 10 = 40

Hence, the speed of fast train is 50 km/h and the speed of slow train is 40 km/h.

Answer:

Let speed of stream be x km/h.

Given:

Speed of boat = 18 km/h
Distance covered upstream = 36 km
Distance covered downstream = 36 km
It takes 32 hours more to go 36 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot

Now, Speed of boat upstream = 18 − x km/h
Speed of boat downstream = 18 + x km/h

DistanceSpeed=Time

According to the question,

Time to go upstream = 32 hours + Time to go downstream

Time to go upstream − Time to go downstream = 32

3618-x-3618+x=323618+x-3618-x18+x18-x=32648+36x-648+36x324-x2=3272x324-x2=3224x324-x2=1224x2=324-x2x2+48x-324=0x2+54x-6x-324=0xx+54-6x+54=0x+54x-6=0x=-54, 6But x is the speed of stream which is always positive.Thus, x=6 km/h


Hence, the speed of the stream is 6 km/h.

Let the time required to fill the tank by second pipe be x hours.
Then, the time required to fill the tank by first pipe is (− 10) hours.

Given:
Two pipes together can fill a tank in 12 hours.

According to the question,

1x+1x-10=112x-10+xxx-10=1122x-10x2-10x=11224x-120=x2-10xx2-10x-24x+120=0x2-34x+120=0x2-30x-4x+120=0xx-30-4x-30=0x-30x-4=0x=30, 4But x-10 is the time required by the first pipe to fill the tank, which is always positive.Thus, x=30 and x4


Hence, the second pipe will take 30 hours to fill the tank.

Answer:

Let the smaller tap takes x hours to fill the tank.
Then, the larger one takes (x − 2) hours to fill the tank.

Tank filled in 1 hour by smaller tap = 1x
Tank filled in 1 hour by larger tap = 1x-2
Tank filled in 1 hour by both the taps = 815

According to the question,

1x+1x-2=815x-2+xxx-2=8152x-2x2-2x=815152x-2=8x2-2x30x-30=8x2-16x8x2-46x+30=04x2-23x+15=0x=--23±-232-441524x=23±529-2408x=23±2898x=23±178x=23+178 or x=23-178x=5 or x=0.75But x0.75       x-2 becomes negativeThus, x=5

Hence, the time in which each tap can fill the tank separately is 5 hours and 3 hours respectively.
