(2) |8| + |-3| = 8 + 3 = 11
(3) When x = -1,
x4 - x3 + 5 = (-1)4 - (-1)3 + 5
= 1 - (-1) + 5
= 1 + 1+ 5 =7
x2 = 16 × 9
(4)
∴ x = 4 × 3 = 12
(5)
x + y = 12,
∴ when x = 5,
5 + y = 12 ∴ y = 12 - 5 = 7

Acending order is 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4
The number at middle place is 2. ∴ Median = 2
The number repeated maximum number of times is 2.
∴ the mode is 2.

 ∴ x = 4
substituting x = 4 in equation (2)

∴ α + β = 4 + (-12) = -8
αβ = 4 × (-12) = -48
x2 - (α + β)x + αβ = 0
x2 - (-8)x + (-48) = 0

(B)
(1) F. V. = Rs. 100, M. V. = Rs. 150, Dividend = 12%
Let rate of return = x %
If Rs. 150 are invested, the returns are Rs. 12
12 x
∴ =
150 100

12 ×100
x = 150
=8
∴ The rate of return is 8 %.

(2) The A. P. is 3, 8, 13, 18, ............

Let the nth term of the A. P. be 148.
a = 3, d = 5 and tn = 148
tn = a + (n - 1) d

3
 148 = 3 + (n - 1) 5
= 3 + 5n - 5
∴ 5n = 148 + 2 = 150
∴ n = 30
∴ 30th term is 148.

(3)  x + y = 7
2x - 3y = 9
∴ a1 = 1, b1 = 1, c1 = 7 and a2 = 2, b2 = -3, c2 = 9

a1 b1 1 1
Now, D = = = -3 - 2 = -5
a2 b2 2 -3
c1 b1 7 1
Dx = = = -21 - 9 = -30
c2 b2 9 -3
a1 c1 1 7
Dy = = = 9 - 14 = -5

α3 + β3 = (α + β)3 - 3αβ(α + β)

= 64 + 72
= 136

tn = a + (n - 1)d
∴ t3 = a + (3 - 1)d = a + 2d
t7 = a + (7 - 1)d = a + 6d
∴ t3 + t7 = (a + 2d) + (a + 6d) = 2a + 8d
∴ 2a + 8d = 6
∴ a + 4d = 3 ..........(I)
t3 × t7 = (a + 2d) (a + 6d)
= (a + 4d - 2d) (a + 4d + 2d)
= (3 - 2d) (3 + 2d) .......... from (I)
∴ (3 - 2d) (3 + 2d) = 8
∴ 9 - 4d 2 = 8

∴ 4d 2 = 1 d 2 = d= or d = -

a = 1  2

∴ the first term of the A. P. is 1 and the common difference is .

or, the first term of the A. P. is 5 and the common difference is - .

(3) The total number of students, N = 500.

For mathematics, θ = 126
No. of students showing

Similarly,
No. of students showing

inclination towards Science = × 500 = 100
360
No. of students showing
108
inclination towards languages = × 500 = 150
360
Now, 150 - 100 = 50
∴ 50 more students show inclination towards languages than towards
science

 (4) Suppose, the units place digit of the two digit number is y and the tens
place digit is x.
∴ the number is 10x + y
∴ the number obtained by reversing the digits is 10y + x
∴ from the given conditions,
(10x +y) + (10y + x) = 121
∴ 11x + 11y = 121 ∴ x + y = 11 .......... (I)
Also, x = y + 7 ∴ x - y = 7 ..........(II)
∴ Adding (I) and (II), 2x = 18 x=9
∴ from (I) a + y = 11 y=2
∴ the two digit number is 29.

Q. 5
(1) The distance between Akola and Bhusawal is 168 km.
Suppose, average speed of passenger train is x km/hr.
∴ the average speed of express train is (x + 14) km/hr.
168
∴ the time required for passenger train = hours
x
168
and the time required for express train = hours
x + 14
∴ from the given condition,
168 168
- =1
x x + 14
168 x  168 14  168 x
∴ =1
x  x  14 
∴ x2 + 14x = 168 × 14
∴ x2 + 14x - 2352 = 0
∴ x2 + 56x - 42x -2352 = 0
∴ x(x + 56) - 42(x + 56) = 0
∴ x(x + 56)(x - 42) = 0
∴ x + 56 = 0 or x - 42 = 0
∴ x = -56 or x = 42
But speed is not negative

6
 x = 42
∴ average speed of passenger train = 42 km/hr
and average speed of express train = (42 + 14) = 56 km/hr.
