Ans07. ' No '
er

( x − 2 ) can't be remainder on dividing p ( x ) by ( 2 x + 3) .

Because the degree of ( x − 2 ) is equal to the degree of ( 2 x + 3) .

Ans10. 23x − 29 y = 98 → (i )
29 x − 23 y = 110 → ( ii )
tP

on adding eq ( i ) and ( ii )
s

52 x − 52 y = 208
Te

or x− y =4 → ( iii )
on subtracting
23 x − 29 y = 98
-29 x −+ 23 y = -110
−6 x − 6 y = −12
x+ y = 2 → ( iv )
on adding ( iii ) and ( iv ) we get
2 x = 6 i.e. x = 3
∴ 3+ y = 2
y = −1
∴ x = 3 and y = −1

Ans11. Let the number of coin of
20 paise be ' x ' and
25 paise be ' y '
According to question
x + y = 50 → (i )
and
20 x + 25 y = 1125 → ( ii )
or
4 x + 5 y = 225
from ( i ) 
-4 x +- 4 y = -200
y = 25

m
x + y = 50
x + 25 = 50
∴ number of 20 paise coin = 25
and number of 25 paise coin = 25 co

Ans12. Let the percentage of A = x years

and B = y years
ap

According to question
x + y = 48 → (i )
tP

x = 5  y − ( x − y ) 
s

x = 5[2 y − x]
Te

x = 10 y − 5 x
3x = 5 y
3 ( 48 − y ) = 5 y
⇒ y = 18 years
and x = 48 -18 years
x = 30 years

30u + 44v = 10 → (i )
40u + 55v = 13 → ( ii )
on solving eq ( i ) and ( ii ) we get,
