2. For what value of ‘c’ the pair of equations x - 2y = 8 and 5x +10y = c, have a unique
solution.
6. Find the zeros of the polynomial x2 - 8x – 4√3, and verify the relationship between
its zeros and the coefficients.
9. Find the discriminant and write the nature of roots of the quadratic equation
2x2 + 4x - 7 =0
11. Determine the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ for which the following system of linear
equations have infinite solutions:
2x +3y=7
(a-b) x + 9(a+b) y = 3a + b – 2
3x + y =1
(2k-1)x + (k-1)y=2k+1
152x – 378y = - 74
-378x + 152y = - 604
(ii) + =
14. Solve the following pair of linear equations:
+ =
+ =
15. Find all the zeroes of polynomial 2x4 + 7x3 -19 x2 - 14x +30, if two of its zeroes
are and - .
16. If and is the zero of the polynomial 3x4 + 6x3 - 2x2 – 10x - 5 ,
17. Roohi travels 300 km to her home partly by train and partly by bus. She takes 4 hours if
she travels 60 km by bus and the remaining by train. If she travels 100 km by bus and the
remaining by train, she takes 10 minutes longer. Find the speed of the train and the bus
separately.
18. A boat covers 25km upstream and 44km downstream in 9 hours. Also, it covers 15 km
upstream and 22km downstream in 5 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and
that of the stream.
19. The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units, if its length is reduced by 5 units
and breadth is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3 units and the breadth by 2
units, the area increases by 67 square units. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
20. A natural number, when increased by 12, equals 160 times its reciprocal. Find the
number.
21. A two digit number is such that the product of its digits is 18. When 63 is subtracted
from the number, the digits interchange their places. Find the number.
22. A motorboat whose speed in still water is 18 km/h, takes 1 hour more to go 24km
upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream.
