3. Rohini had scored 10 more marks in her mathematics test out of 30 marks, 9 times these marks would have been the square of her actual marks. How many marks did she get in the test?





ANSWER= C. 15 Let her actual marks be x Therefore, 9 (x + 10) = x2 ⇒x2 – 9x – 90 = 0 ⇒x2 – 15x + 6x – 90 = 0 ⇒x(x – 15) + 6 (x – 15) = 0 ⇒(x + 6) (x – 15) = 0 Therefore x = – 6 or x =15 Since x is the marks obtained, x ≠ – 6. Therefore, x = 15.

5. In the quadratic equation 5x2 – 4x + 5 = 0, which one of them has the following roots?





ANSWER= D. Not real Explanation: Calculate b2 – 4ac in order to find out the nature. So, b2 – 4ac will be = 42 – 4 x 5 x 5 = 16 – 100 = -84 < 0

 

6. When a natural number is multiplied by 12, it becomes 160 times its reciprocal. Calculate the number.





ANSWER= A. 8 Explanation: Assume the number as x Then according to the given question, x + 12 = 160/x ⇒ x2 + 12x – 160 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 20x – 8x – 160 = 0 ⇒ (x + 20) (x – 8) = 0 ⇒ x = -20, 8 We only consider positive values because the number is natural.

 

7. 300 is the result of two consecutive integral multiples of 5. Find out the numbers.





ANSWER= B. 15, 20 Explanation: Let 5n and 5(n + 1) be the consecutive integral multiples, with n being a positive integer. In answer to the question: 5n × 5(n + 1) = 300 ⇒ n2 + n – 12 = 0 ⇒ (n – 3) (n + 4) = 0 ⇒ n = 3 and n = – 4 n = – 4 will be eliminated because n is a positive natural number. As a result, the numbers 15 and 20 are used.

 

8. Rohini could have gotten 10 additional marks out of a possible 30 on her math test, which would have been the square of her actual score 9 times. How many marks did she receive on the exam?





ANSWER= C. 15 Explanation: Assume her actual marks will be x As 9 (x + 10) = x2 ⇒x2 – 9x – 90 = 0 ⇒x2 – 15x + 6x – 90 = 0 ⇒x(x – 15) + 6 (x – 15) = 0 ⇒(x + 6) (x – 15) = 0 So, x = – 6 or x =15 As x is assumed to be as the marks obtained, x ≠ – 6. Hence, x will be = 15.

 

9. A right triangle's altitude is 7 cm less than its base. The other two sides of the triangle are equal to: If the hypotenuse is 13 cm, the other two sides are equal to:





ANSWER= A. Base=12cm and Altitude=5cm Explanation: Let base will be as x cm. So, Altitude = (x – 7) cm As we know that in a right triangle, Base2 + Altitude2 = Hypotenuse2 (Pythagoras theorem) ∴ x2 + (x – 7)2 = 132 On solving the above equation, we will get- ⇒ x = 12 or x = – 5 As the side of the triangle cannot be negative. So, base = 12cm and altitude = 12 - 7 = 5cm

17. The polynomial equation x (x + 1) + 8 = (x + 2) {x – 2) is





ANSWER= A. linear equation Explaination:Reason: We have x(x + 1) + 8 = (x + 2) (x – 2) ⇒ x² + x + 8 = x² – 4 ⇒ x² + x + 8- x² + 4 = 0 ⇒ x + 12 = 0, which is a linear equation.

 

18. The equation (x – 2)² + 1 = 2x – 3 is a





ANSWER= B. quadratic equation Explaination:Reason: We have (x – 2)² + 1 = 2x – 3 ⇒ x² + 4 – 2 × x × 2 + 1 = 2x – 3 ⇒ x² – 4x + 5 – 2x + 3 = 0 ∴ x² – 6x + 8 = 0, which is a quadratic equation.

ANSWER= A. 9,1 Explaination:Reason: Correct sum = 8 + 2 = 10 from Mohan Correct product = -9 x -1 = 9 from Sohan ∴ x² – (10)x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x² – 10x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x² – 9x – x + 9 ⇒ x(x – 9) – 1(x – 9) = 0 ⇒ (x-9) (x-l) = 0 . ⇒ Correct roots are 9 and 1.

 

23. If the roots of px2 + qx + 2 = 0 are reciprocal of each other, then





ANSWER= D. p = 2 Explaination:Reason: here α = 1β ∴ αβ = 1 ⇒ 2p = 1 ∴ p = 2

ANSWER= A. k = ±3 Explaination:Reason: Here a = 12, b = 4k, c = 3 Since the given equation has real and equal roots ∴ b² – 4ac = 0 ⇒ (4k)² – 4 × 12 × 3 = 0 ⇒ 16k² – 144 = 0 ⇒ k² = 9 ⇒ k = ±3

 

27. If -5 is a root of the quadratic equation 2x² + px – 15 = 0, then





ANSWER= C. p = 7 Explaination:Reason: Since – 5 is a root of the equation 2x² + px -15 = 0 ∴ 2(-5)² + p (-5) – 15 = 0 ⇒ 50 – 5p -15 = 0 ⇒ 5p = 35 ⇒ p = 7

 

28. If the roots of the equations ax² + 2bx + c = 0 and bx² – 2√ac x + b = 0 are simultaneously real, then





ANSWER= B. b2 = ac Explaination:Reason: Given equations have real roots, then D1 ≥ 0 and D2 ≥ 0 (2b)² – 4ac > 0 and (-2√ac)² – 4B.b ≥ 0 4b² – 4ac ≥ 0 and 4ac – 4b2 > 0 b² ≥ ac and ac ≥ b² ⇒ b² = ac
