Q3. A playground is in the shape of a rectangle. A sum of Rs. 1000 was spent to make the ground usable at the rate of 25 paise per sq. m. The breadth of the ground is 50m. If the length of the ground is increased by 20 m, what will be the expenditure in making this ground usable at the same rate?

Rs.1500

Rs.2250

Rs.1250

Rs.1000

Rs. 1800

Solution:

Area of ground = 1000/0.25 = 4000 m²
Breadth = 50 m
Length = 4000/50 = 80 m
New length = 80 + 20 = 100 m
New area = 100 × 50 = 5000 m²
So, expenditure = 5000 × 0.25 = Rs 1250

Q8. I. 2x² + 9x + 9 = 0
II. 2y² + 17y + 36 = 0

if x<y

if x >y

if x ≤y

if x ≥y

if x = y or no relation can be established

Solution:

I. 2x² + 9x + 9 = 0
⇒ 2x² + 6x + 3x + 9 = 0
⇒ (x + 3) (2x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = –3, –3/2
II. 2y² + 17y + 36 = 0
⇒ 2y² + 8y + 9y + 36 = 0
⇒ (y + 4) (2y + 9) = 0
y = – 4, –9/2
x > y

Q9. I. 5x² + 29x + 20 = 0
II. 25y² + 25y + 6 = 0

if x<y

if x >y

if x ≤y

if x ≥y

if x = y or no relation can be established

Solution:

I. 5x² + 29x + 20 = 0
⇒ 5x² + 25x + 4x + 20 = 0
⇒ (x + 5) (5x + 4) = 0
⇒ x = –5, –4/5
II. 25y² + 25y + 6 = 0
⇒ 25y² + 15y + 10y + 6 = 0
⇒ (5y + 3) (5y + 2) = 0
⇒ y = – 3/5, –2/5
y > x

Q10. I. 3x² – 16x + 21 = 0
II. 3y² – 28y + 65 = 0

if x<y

if x >y

if x ≤y

if x ≥y

if x = y or no relation can be established

Solution:

I. 3x² – 16x + 21 = 0
⇒ 3x² – 9x – 7x + 21 = 0
⇒ (x – 3) (3x – 7) = 0
⇒ x = 3, 7/3
II. 3y² – 28y + 65 = 0
⇒ 3y² – 15y – 13y + 65 = 0
⇒ (y – 5)(3y – 13) = 0
⇒ y = 5, 13/3
y > x
