1 The ratio between the LCM and HCF of 5, 15, 20 is:

(a) 9 : 1 (b) 4 : 3 1
(c) 11 : 1 (d) 12 : 1

ANS: (d) 5, 15 = 5 × 3, 20 = 2 × 2 × 5
LCM(5, 15, 20) = 5 × 3 × 2 × 2 = 60

HCF(5, 15, 20) = 5

2 There are 576 boys and 448 girls in a school that are to be divided into equal sections of
either boys or girls alone. The total number of sections thus formed are:
1
(a) 22 (b) 16
(c) 36 (d) 21

ANS: (b) HCF of 576 and 448 = 64

∴ Number of sections = = 9 + 7 = 16

3
The decimal expansion of the rational number will terminate after
(a) one decimal place 1
(b) two decimal places
(c) three decimal places
(d) four decimal places

∴ The given rational number will terminate after four decimal places.
ANS:

4 If the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 + (a + 1) x + b are 2 and –3, then


(a) a = –7, b = –1 (b) a = 5, b = –1 1
(c) a = 2, b = –6 (d) a = 0, b = –6

∵ x = 2 is a zero and x = – 3 is another zero


ANS: (d) x2 + (a + 1)x + b

∴ (2)2 + (a + 1)2 + b = 0

⇒ 4 + 2a + 2 + b = 0 and 9 – 3a – 3 + b = 0
and (– 3)2 + (a + 1) (– 3) + b = 0

⇒ 2a + b = – 6 ...(i) and – 3a + b = – 6 ...(ii)


Solving (i) and (ii), we get 5a = 0
⇒ a = 0 and b = – 6.

5 A polynomial of degree n has


(a) only 1 zero
(b) at least n zeroes 1
(c) atmost n zeroes
(d) more than n zeroes

ANS: (c) Maximum number of zeroes of a polynomial = degree of the polynomial.

6 The quadratic polynomial, the sum of whose zeroes is –5 and their product is 6, is
1
[CBSE 2020] (a) x2 + 5x + 6 (b) x2 – 5x + 6 (c) x2 – 5x – 6 (d) –x2 + 5x + 6

ANS: (a), sum of zeroes = –5, product = 6


Polynomial is, x2 – (sum of zeroes) x + product of zeroes

⇒ x2 – (–5)x + 6 = x2 + 5x + 6.

7 The pair of linear equations 2x + 3y = 5 and 4x + 6y = 10 is


(a) inconsistent
(b) consistent 1
(c) dependent consistent
(d) none of these

ANS:

8 The pair of equations x = 4 and y = 3 graphically represents lines which are


(a) parallel
(b) intersecting at (3, 4) 1
(c) coincident
(d) intersecting at (4, 3)

ANS: (d) When lines x = 4, y = 3 will intersect, then x coordinate = 4, y-coordinate = 3

9 The father’s age is six times of his son’s age. Four years hence, the age of the father will
be four times of his son’s age. The present ages, in years, of the son and the father are,
respectively. 1
(a) 4 and 24 (b) 5 and 30
(c) 6 and 36 (d) 3 and 24

ANS: (c) Let F and S be the ages of father and son respectively.
ATQ F = 6S ...(i)

⇒ F + 4 = 4S + 16 ...(ii)
F + 4 = 4(S + 4)

Substituting F = 6S in (ii), we get

2S = 12 ⇒ S = 6; F = 36
6S + 4 = 4S + 16

10 Which of the following are the roots of the quadratic equation, x2 – 9x + 20 = 0 by 1


factorisation?
(a) 3, 4 (b) 4, 5 (c) 5, 6 (d) 6, 7

⇒ x2 – 5x – 4x + 20 = 0
ANS: (b) Given equation is x2 – 9x + 20 = 0

⇒ x(x – 5) – 4(x – 5) = 0
⇒ (x – 5) (x – 4) = 0
⇒ either x – 5 = 0 and x – 4 = 0
⇒ x = 5 and x = 4
∴ x = 4 and 5 are the roots/solution of the given quadratic equation.

11 If (1 – p) is a root of the equation x2 + px + 1 – p = 0, then roots are


(a) 0, 1 (b) – 1, 1 1
(c) 0, – 1 (d) – 1, 2

∴ (1 – p)2 + p (1 – p) + 1 – p = 0
ANS: (c) (1 – p) is a root

⇒ (1 – p) [1 – p + p + 1] = 0
⇒ (1 – p) (2) = 0 ⇒ p = 1
x2 + x = 0

∴ roots are 0 and –1.


One root = 0 and another root = – 1

12 If α, β are roots of the equation x2 + 5x + 5 = 0, then equation whose roots are α + 1 and β
+ 1 is

ANS: (c) α + β = –5, αβ = 5.


Required equation is

⇒ x2 – (α + β + 2)x + (αβ + α + β + 1) = 0
x2 – (α + 1 + β + 1)x + (α + 1) (β + 1) = 0

⇒ x2 – (–5 + 2)x + (5 – 5 + 1) = 0
⇒ x2 + 3x + 1 = 0

ANS:

16 If ΔABC is right angled at C, then the value of cos (A + B) is

∴ A + B + C = 180°
ANS: (a) ΔABC is right angled at C,

A + B = 180° – 90° = 90° (∵ ∠C = 90°)


cos (A + B) = cos 90° = 0
