Note - Finding sum and product of zeroes & forming equation
from given zeroes wale sawaal, acche se practice karne hai!
Q1) If the sum of the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = (k2- 14) x2 -
2x - 12
Solution:
p(x) = (k2- 14) x2 - 2x - 12
Here a = k2-14, b = -2, c = -12
Sum of the zeroes, (α + ß) = 1 ...[Given]
-b/a = 1
-(-2)/k2-14 = 1
K2-14 = 2
K2 = 16
K = +4,-4
Zeroes are:
2x – 3 = 0 or 3x + 1 = 0
Therefore x = 3/2 or x = -1/3
Verification:
Here a = 6, b = -7 , c = -3
Sum of the zeroes , (α + ß) = 3/2 + (-1/3) = (9 – 2)/6 = 7/6
7/6 = - (coefficient of x)/(Coefficient of x2) = -b/a
Product of Zeroes (α * ß) = 3/2 * (-1/3) = -3/6
-3/6 = Constant term / Coefficient of x2 = c/a
Therefore, Relationship holds

Solution.
NOW
Let, 5+2√7 be rational.
Now, 5+2√7=a/b
=>2√7=a/b-5
=>2√7=a-5b/b
=>√7=a-5b/2b
Solution:
We have, 4x – 3y = 9 and 2x + ky = 11
A1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2 (No Solution)
4/2 = -3/k ≠ 9/11
2 = -3/k
Therefore, k = -3/2
Q2) Represent the following pair of equations graphically and
write the coordinates of points where the lines intersect the y-axis.
X+3y = 6
x = 6—3y
x 6 3 0
y 0 1 2
2x -3y = 12
2x = 12 + 3y
X = 12 + 3y/2
x 0 6 3
y -4 0 -2
By plotting the points and joining them, the lines intersect at A (6, 0).
Line x + 3y = 6 intersects y-axis at B(0, 2) and Line 2x – 3y = 12
intersects y-axis at C(0, -4).
Q3) Solve the following pair of equations for x and y: (2012)
a2/x−b2/y = 0; a2b/x+b2a/y = a + b, x ≠ 0; y ≠ 0
Solution:
a2/x−b2/y = 0………………(i)
a2b/x−b2a/y = a+b………….(ii)
50/(x-y) + 10/(x-y) = 20
30/(x-y) - 10/(x-y) = -4
16(x+y) = 80
X+y=5
Putting the value of (x + y) in (i), we get
10/5 + 2 /(x – y) = 4
2 + 2/(x-y) = 4
2(x – y) = 2….therefore x – y = 1
Solving (iii) and (iv), we get
X+y=5
X–y=1
2x = 6……….By adding
X=3
Putting the value of x in (iii), we get
3+y=5
Y=2
Therefore x =3 , y=2
X + y = 1………………(i)
Again
141x + 93y = 189
93x - 141 y = 45
_____________________________
48x - 48y = 144…………….By subtracting
X – y = 3…………………….(ii)
X+y=1
X–y=3
_________
2x = 4
Therefore x =2
Q6) The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 8 and the
difference between the number and that formed by reversing the
digits is 18. Find the number. (2015)
Solution:
Let unit and tens digit be x and y.
∴ Original number = 1x + 10y …(i)
Reversed number = 10x + 1y
According to question,
x+y=8
⇒ y = 8 – x …(ii)
Also, 1x + 10Oy – (10x + y) = 18
⇒ x + 10y – 10x – y = 18
⇒ 9y – 9x = 18
⇒ y – x = 2 …[Dividing both sides by 9
⇒ 8 – x – x = 2 …[From (it)
⇒ 8 – 2 = 2x
⇒ 2x = 6
From (it), y = 8 – 3 = 5
From (i), Original number = 3 + 10(5) = 53

Q7) The age of the father is twice the sum of the ages of his 2
children. After 20 years, his age will be equal to the sum of the ages
of his children. Find the age of the father. (2012)
Solution:
Consider the present age of the father as x years.
Let the present age of his two children be y and z years.
From the question,
x = 2(y + z)-----------------(1)
After 20 years,
(x + 20) = (y + 20) + (z + 20)
y + z + 40 = x + 20
y + z = x - 20.
Substitute the value of (y + z) in(1), we get
x = 2(x - 20)
x = 2x - 40
x = 40.
Therefore, the father’s age is 40 years.

Q8) The owner of a taxi company decides to run all the taxis on
CNG fuel instead of petrol/diesel. The taxi charges in city
comprises of fixed charges together with the charge for the distance
covered. For a journey of 12 km, the charge paid is 789 and for
journey of 20 km, the charge paid is ₹145.
What will a person have to pay for travelling a distance of 30 km?
(2014)
Solution:
Let the fixed charges = 7x
and the charge per km = ₹y
According to the Question,
x + 12y = 89…………………….(i)
x + 20y = 145……………………(ii)
8y = 56………………………….By subtracting
Y=7
x + 12(7) = 89
x + 84 = 89 ⇒ x = 89 – 84 = 5
Total fare for 30 km = x + 30y = 5 + 30(7)
= 5 + 210 = ₹215
__________________________________________________________________________________
44 /(x+y) = 4
4(x+y) = 44
X + y = 11
X = 11 – y………..(i)
20/(x – y) = 4……..Time = Distance / speed
(x – y) = 20/4
X–y=5
11 – y – y = 5…….from (i)
11 – 2y = 5
- 2y = -6
Y=3
From (i), x = 11 – 3 = 8
∴ Speed of the stream, y =3 km/hr
Speed of the boat in still water, x = 8 km/hr
Q1) Find the ratio in which y-axis divides the line segment joining
the points A(5, -6), and B(-1, -4). Also find the coordinates of the
point of division. (2016D)
Solution:
Let AC: CB = m : n = k : 1.
Coordinates of C = (mx2 + nx1/m+n , my2+ny1/m+n)
= ( -k+5/k+1 , -4k-6/k+1 )
Point C lies on y-axis, therefore (-m + 5)/(m+1) = 0
= -k + 5 = 0 or k = 5
Required ratio = k : 1 = 5 : I
From (I) required point C,
= ( -5+5/5+1 , -20-6/5+1 )
= ( 0 , -26/6) = (0 , -13/3)

Q2) The points A(4, 7), B(p, 3) and C(7, 3) are the vertices of a
right triangle, right-angled at B. Find the value of p. (2015OD)
A(4,7), B(p,3) & c (7,3) are vertices of right angle triangle then
using Pythagoras theorem
(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2
9 + 16 = (p - 4)2 + 16 + (p - 7)2
2p2 - 22p + 56 = O
p2- l1p +28 = O
p2-7p-4p+28 = o
(p-4)(p-7)=o
Hence p-4=0 & p-7=0
p = 4,7

Solution:
We have A(4, 3), B(-1, y) and C(3, 4). In right angled triangle ABC,
(BC)2 = (AB)2 + (AC)…. [Pythagoras theorem

that x – 3y + 15 = 0. (2012 OD)
Solution:
Pts. A(x, y), B(3, 6), C(-3, 4) are collinear.
∴ Area of ∆ = 0
As area of ∆
= 12[x1(y2 – y3) + x2(y3 – y1) + x3(y1 – y2)]
∴Area of ∆ABC
= x(6 – 4) + 3(4 – y) + (-3) (y – 6) = 0
= 2x + 12 – 3y – 3y + 18 = 0
= 2x – 6y + 30 = 0
∴ x – 3y + 15 = 0 … [Dividing both sides by 2]
Q1) As observed from the top of a 100 m high light house from
the sea-level, the angles of depression of two ships are 300 and 450.
If one ship is exactly behind the other on the same side of the light
house, find the distance between the two ships. [Use √3=1.732]
In △ABC,
tan 450=AB/BC
⟹1=100/BC
⟹BC=100m
In △ABD,
tan 300=AB/BD
⟹1/√3=AB/BD
BD=AB×√3
=100×√3
=173.2[√3=1.732]
∴CD=BD−BC=173.2=100=73.2m
__________________________________________________________________________________
Solution:
Let BC be the building and CD be the transmission tower. A be the
point on the ground.
Let CD = y m
In rt. ∆ABC,
√3 = 10 + y/10√3
10 + y = 30
Y = 30 – 10 = 20
Height of transmission tower = 20 m
__________________________________________________________________________________
In rt. AABD
tan 450 = AB/BD
1 = h/ (x + 100)
H = x + 100
h = h/√3 + 100
H = h + 100√3 /√3
√3 h = h + 100√3
√3 h – h = 100√3
H (√3 - 1) = 100√3
H = 100√3 / (√3 - 1) * (√3 +1/√3 +1)
H = 50 * 4.73 = 236.5
∴ Height of the tower, h = 236.5 m

Q6) The angle of elevation of the top of a hill at the foot of a tower
is 60° and the angle of depression from the top of the tower of the
foot of the hill is 30°. If the tower is 50 m high, find the height of
the hill. (2012D)
Solution:
Let CD = H m, be the height of the hill
AB = 50 be the tower
and Distance between them, BC = x m
In rt. ∆ABC,
tan 30° = AB/BC
1/√3 = 50/x
X = 50√3
In rt. ∆BCD,
tan 60° = CD/BC
√3 = H/50√3 ⇒ H = 50√3 × √3 = 150
∴ Height of the hill = 150 m

Join OT.
Let OT intersect PQ at R
From theorem 10.2,
Lengths of tangents from external point are equal
so, TP = TQ
In Triangle TPQ,
TP = TQ, i.e. two sides are equal,
So, Triangle TPQ is an isosceles triangle
Here, OT is bisector of angle PTQ,
so OT perpendicular PQ (Angle bisector and altitude of isosceles
triangle are same)
Since OT perpendicular PQ
so, PR = RQ (Perpendicular from center to a chord, bisects the chord)
so, PR = QR = ½ PQ = 8/2 = 4cm
From (1)
x2 = 16 + RT2
Putting value of RT

Area of △ ABC = Area △ AOC + Area △ AOB + Area △ BOC
Area of △ AOB
= ½ * base * height
= ½ * OF * AB
= ½ * 4 * (x+8)
= 2(x+8)
= 2x + 16
Area of △ BOC
= ½ * base * height
= ½ * OD * BC
= ½ * 4 * (14)
= 2 * 14
= 28
Now,
Area of △ ABC = Area △ AOC + Area △ AOB + Area △BOC

r1=18cm h1=32cm
r2= ?
h2=24cm
⇒r22=18×18×32×3/24

Solution.
= 216 + 388.08/28
= 229.86 cm2
= 194.04/21 + 216
= 225.24 cm2

________
=π×36×15
=540πcm3
Now, as it has to be divided among 10 children
∴ Dividing volume by 10=540/10=54πcm3
2r3 = 54
r=3

Q11) Two water taps together can fill a tank in 1(7/8) hours. The
tap with longer diameter takes 2 hours less than the tap with
smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each
tap can fill the tank separately.
Solution
x=y−2
⟹ 1/ y−2 + 1/ y = 8/15
⟹4y2 − 23y+15=0
⟹y=3/4,5
So x=3,y=5
the time taken by longer diameter tap to fill the tank be 3 hrs
