balls. Thrice the total number of balls exceeds seven
times the number of white balls by 6. How many balls or
of each colour does the bag contain ? A motorboat whose speed in still water is 18 km/h,
Ans : takes 1 hour more to go 24 km upstream than to
Let the number of red balls be x and white balls be y . return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed
According to the question, of the stream.
1 y = 1 x or 2x − 3y = 0 Ans :
...(1)
2 3 Let the speed of stream be x km/h
and 3 ^x + y h − 7y = 6 Then the speed of boat upstream = ^18 − x h km/h
Speed of boat downstream = ^18 + x h km/h
or 3x − 4y = 6 ...(2)
According to the question,
Multiplying equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) we
have 24 − 24 = 1
18 − x 18 + x
6x − 9y = 0 ...(3)
24 [(18 + x) − (18 − x)]
6x − 8y = 12 ...(4) =1
182 − x2
Subtracting equation (3) from (4) we have
48x = 324 − x2
y = 12
x2 + 48x − 324 = 0
Substituting y = 12 in equation (1),
x2 + 54x − 6x − 324 = 0
2x − 36 = 0
x ^x + 54h − 6 ^x + 54h = 0
x = 18
^x + 54h^x − 6h = 0
Hence, number of red balls = 18
x + 54 = 0, x − 6 = 0
and number of white balls = 12
x = − 54, x = 6

factorization method. Is HCF × LCM of these numbers Since speed cannot be negative, we reject x = − 54 .
equal to the product of the given three numbers? [4] The speed of steam is 6 km/h.
Ans : 38. In the right triangle, B is a point on AC such
that AB + AD = BC + CD. If AB = x, BC = h and
Finding prime factor of given number we have,
CD = d, then find x (in term of h and d). [4]
378 = 2×33 ×7 Ans :
180 = 22 ×32 ×5
420 = 22 ×3×7×5
HCF(378, 180, 420) = 2×3 = 6
LCM(378, 180, 420) = 22 ×33 ×5×7
= 22 ×33 ×5×7 = 3780
HCF×LCM = 6×3780 = 22680
Product of given numbers
= 378×180×420
= 28576800 We have AB + AD = BC + CD
Hence, HCF × LCM ! Product of three numbers. AD = BC + CD − AB
37. The time taken by a person to cover 150 km was 2 12 AD = h + d − x
hours more than the time taken in the return journey.
In right angled triangle TACD,
If he returned at a speed of 10 km/hour more than
the speed while going, find the speed per hour in each AD2 = AC2 + DC2
direction. [4] ^h + d − x h2 = ^x + h h2 + d
2

Ans :
^h + d − x h2 − ^x + h h2 = d
2

Let the speed while going be x km/h

^h + d − x − x − h h^h + d − x + x + h h = d
2

Speed while returning = ^x + 10h km/h

^d − 2x h^2h + d h = d
2
According to question we have
150 − 150 = 5 2hd + d2 − 4hx − 2xd = d2
x x + 10 2 2hd = 4hx + 2xd
x2 + 10x − 600 = 0 = 2 ^2h + d h x
^x + 30h^x − 20h = 0
