\ 6x2 – 9x + 2x – 3 = 0
\ 3x (2x – 3) + 1 (2x – 3) = 0

26. Let the quadratis polynomial be ax2 + bx + c and its zeroes be α and β.
1 1
\αβ= and α + β =
4 4
c 1 −b 1
\ a =– and – a =
4 4
\ a = 4, b = – 1, c = – 1
So, one quadratic polynomial which become the given conditions is 4x2 – – 1. You can check that any other quadratic
polynomial that become these condition will be of the form k (4x2 – x – 1), where k is real.
27. 2x2 – 5x + 3 = 0
∴ 2x2 – 2x – 3x + 3 = 0
∴ 2x (x – 1) – 3 (x – 1) = 0
∴ (x – 1) (2x – 3) = 0
∴ x – 1 = 0 or 2x – 3 = 0

28. Here, a = 21, d = 18 – 21 = –3
Suppose, nth term an = –81
an = a + (n – 1) d
∴ –81 = 21 + (n – 1) (–3)
∴ –81 = 21 – 3n + 3
∴ –81 = 24 – 3n
∴ –27 = 8 – n
∴ n = 8 + 27
∴ n = 35
Therefore, the 35th term of the given AP is – 81

29. Here, a = 15, d = 10 – 15 = – 5 and n = 10

an = a + (n – 1) d

∴ a10 = 15 + (10 – 1) (– 5)

∴ a10 = 15 – 45

∴ a10 = – 30

Therefore, the 10th term of the given AP is – 30.

30. AB = (x1 − x2) 2 + (y1 − y2) 2

= (1 − 5) 2 + (2 − 8) 2

= 16 + 36

= 52

= 2 13

Thus, the distance between the given points is 2 13 .

31. Let, the given points be P(1, 5), Q(2, 3) & R(– 2, – 11).

PQ = ]1 − 2g2 + ^5 − 3h2 = 1+ 4 = 5 = 2.24

QR = ]2 + 2g2 + ^3 + 11h2 = 16 + 196 = 212 = 14.56

PR = ]1 + 2g2 + ^5 + 11h2 = 9 + 256 = 265 = 16.28

\ 2.24 + 14.56 = 16.80 ≠ 16.28

\ PQ + QR ≠ PR

Same as, QR + PR ≠ PQ & PQ + PR ≠ QR

Therefore, the given points are not collinear.

32. sin(A – B) = cos (A + B) =
2 2
∴ sin(A – B) = sin 30° ∴ cos(A + B) = cos 60°

∴ A – B = 30°....(1)   ∴ A + B = 60° ....(2)

Adding equation (1) and (2),

(A – B) + (A + B) = 30° + 60°

∴ A – B + A + B = 90°

∴ 2A = 90°

∴ A = 45°

Put A = 45° in equation (1),

A – B = 30°

∴ B = A – 30°

∴ B = 45° – 30°

∴ B = 15°

Hence, A = 45° and B = 15°.

Therefore the height of the pillar is 5 3 m.

∴ 125 = x3

38. Let us assume that,

Jayshree’s present age = x
Purvi’s present age = y
Five years ago,
Jayshree = x – 5
Purvi = y – 5
∴ As per condition (x – 5) = 3 (y – 5)
∴ x – 5 = 3y – 15
∴ x – 3y = – 15 + 5
∴ x – 3y = – 10 ...(1)
10 years from now,
Jayshree will be x + 10 & Purvi will be y + 10
As per condition (x + 10) = 2 (y + 10)
∴ x + 10 = 2y + 20
∴ x – 2y + 20 – 10
∴ x – 2y = 10 ...(2)
Subtract (2) from (1),
x – 3y = –10
x – 2y = 10
–+    –
∴ –y = – 20
Put y = 20 in eqn (1),
x – 3y = –10
∴ x – 3(20) = –10
∴ x – 60 = –10
∴ x = –10 + 60
∴ x = 50
Jayshree’s present age = 50 years, Purvi’s present age = 20 years.

∴ d = 4

∴ 0 = 5m1 – 5m2
∴ 5m1 = 5m2
∴ m1 = m2

ratio.
42. Here, Q (0, 1) is equidistant from P (5, –3) and R (x, 6) as given :
∴ PQ = QR
∴ PQ2 = QR2
∴ (5 – 0)2 + (–3 –1)2 = (0 – x)2 + (1 – 6)2
∴ 25 + 16 = x2 + 25
∴ x2 = 16
∴ x = ±4
If, x = 4;
QR = ^0 − xh2 + ^1 − 6h2 , PR = ^5 − xh2 + ^− 3 − 6h2

∴ QR = ^0 − 4h2 + ^1 − 6h2 ∴ PR = ^5 − 4h2 + ^− 3 − 6h2

∴ QR = 16 + 25 ∴ PR = 1 + 81

∴ QR = 41 ∴ PR = 82

Same as, x = – 4;

QR = ^0 − xh2 + ^1 − 6h2 PR = ^5 − xh2 + ^− 3 − 6h2

∴ QR = ]0 + 4g2 + ^− 5h2 ∴ PR = ]5 + 4g2 + ^− 3 − 6h2

∴ QR = 16 + 25 ∴ PR = 81 + 81

∴ QR = 41 ∴ PR = 162

∴ PR = 81 # 2

Let the sides AB, BC, CD and DA of the quadrilateral ABCD touch the O centric circle at points P, Q, R and S respectively.

∴ AP = AS ...(1)

Add equation (1), (2), (3) and (4)

AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS

∴ (AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)

∴ AB + CD = AD + BC

Hence, P(E) =

50. Here, a = 21, d = 18 – 21 = –3

Suppose, nth term an = –81

an = a + (n – 1) d

∴ –81 = 21 + (n – 1) (–3)

∴ –81 = 21 – 3n + 3

∴ –81 = 24 – 3n

∴ –27 = 8 – n

∴ n = 8 + 27

∴ n = 35

Therefore, the 35th term of the given AP is – 81

Now, Suppose nth term an = 0

an = a + (n – 1) d

∴ 0 = 21 + (n – 1) (–3)

∴ 0 = 21 – 3n + 3

∴ 3n = 21 + 3

∴ 3n = 24

∴ n = 8

So, the eighth term is 0.

∴ 45 + x + y = 60

∴ 45 + 8 + y = 60

∴ 53 + y = 60

∴ y = 60 – 53

∴ y = 7

Thus, x = 8 and y = 7.
