SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.

1. If one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial (k – 1)x2 + kx + 1 is –3, then the value of k is
(a) 4/3 (b) -4/3 (c) 2/3 (d) -2/3
Ans: (a) (k – 1)x2 + kx + 1
One zero is – 3, so it must satisfy the equation and make it zero.
(k – 1) (– 3)2 + k(– 3) + 1 = 0
9k – 9 – 3k + 1 = 0
8 4
6k – 8 = 0 k
6 3

2. 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 (c) a = 2, b = –6 (d) a = 0, b = –6
Ans: (d) x2 + (a + 1)x + b
x = 2 is a zero and x = – 3 is another zero
(2)2 + (a + 1)2 + b = 0
and (– 3)2 + (a + 1) (– 3) + b = 0
4 + 2a + 2 + b = 0 and 9 – 3a – 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.

3. Zeroes of a polynomial p(x) can be determined graphically. No. of zeroes of a polynomial is


equal to no. of points where the graph of polynomial
(a) intersects y-axis (b) intersects x-axis
(c) intersects y-axis or intersects x-axis (d) none of these
Ans: (b) Intersects x-axis

4. If graph of a polynomial p(x) does not intersects the x-axis but intersects y-axis in one point, then
no. of zeroes of the polynomial is equal to
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 0 or 1 (d) none of these
Ans : (a) 0

5. If p(x) = ax2 + bx + c and a + b + c = 0, then one zero is


(a) -b/a (b) c/a (c) b/c (d) none of these
Ans: (b) p(1) = 0; a(1)2 + b(1) + c = 0 a + b + c = 0 one zero (a) = 1
= product of zeroes = c/a
= c/a = c/a

6. The number of polynomials having zeroes as –2 and 5 is
(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) more than 3
1 3
Ans: (d) x2 – 3x – 10, 2x2 – 6x – 20, x 2 x 5 , 3x2 – 9x – 30 etc.,
2 2
have zeroes – 2 and 5.

7. The quadratic polynomial, the sum of whose zeroes is –5 and their product is 6, is
(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.

8. If zeroes of p(x) = 2x2 – 7x + k are reciprocal of each other, then value of k is


(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4
Ans: (b) Zeroes are reciprocal of each other
k
Product of zeroes = 1 =1 k=2

In the following questions 9 and 10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason
(R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
9. Assertion (A): x2 + 4x + 5 has two real zeroes.
Reason (R): A quadratic polynomial can have at the most two zeroes.
Ans : p(x) = 0 x2 + 4x + 5 = 0
Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac
= 42 – 4 x 1 x 5
= 16 – 20 = – 4 < 0
Therefore, no real zeroes are there.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

10. Assertion (A): If the sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 – 2kx + 8 are is 2 then
value of k is 1.
Reason (R): Sum of zeroes of a quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c is –b/a
b
Ans : Relation is true as we know that Sum of zeroes =
a
( 2k )
=2 k=1
1
So, Assertion is true.
Correct option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

20. The figure given alongside shows the path of a diver, when she takes a jump from the diving
board. Clearly it is a parabola. Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water
level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in
seconds is given by the polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = -16t² + 8t + k.

(i) What is the value of k? (2)


(ii) At what time will she touch the water in the pool? (2)
OR
(ii) Rita’s height (in feet) above the water level is given by another polynomial p(t) with zeroes -
1 and 2. Then find p(t) (2)
Ans: (i) Initially, at t = 0, Annie’s height is 48ft
So, at t = 0, h should be equal to 48
h(0) = -16(0)² + 8(0) + k = 48 k = 48
(ii) When Annie touches the pool, her height = 0 feet
i.e. -16t² + 8t + 48 =0 above water level
2t² – t – 6 =0
2t² – 4t +3t -6 =0
2t(t – 2) + 3(t – 2) =0
(2t + 3) (t – 2) = 0
i.e. t = 2 or t = -3/2
Since time cannot be negative, so t = 2seconds
OR
(ii) t = -1 & t = 2 are the two zeroes of the polynomial p(t)
Then p(t) = k(t + 1)(t – 2)
When t = 0 (initially) h
p(0) = k(0² - 0 - 2) = 48
-2k = 48
So the polynomial is -24(t² - t - 2) = -24t² + 24t + 48.
