Ex 1.

Represent the following situations mathematically:


(i) John and Jivanti together have 45 marbles. Both of them lost 5
marbles each, and the product of the number of marbles they now
have is 124. We would like to find out how many marbles they had to
start with.
(ii) A cottage industry produces a certain number of toys in a day.
The cost of production of each toy (in rupees) was found to be 55
minus the number of toys produced in a day. On a particular day, the
total cost of production was ₹750. We would like to find out the
number of toys produced on that day.
Ex 2. Check whether the following are quadratic equations:
(i) (x – 2)2 + 1 = 2x – 3 (ii) x(x + 1) + 8 = (x + 2) (x – 2)
(iii) x (2x + 3) = x2 + 1 (iv) (x + 2)3 = x3 – 4

1. Check whether the following are quadratic equations :


(i) (x + 1)2 = 2(x – 3) (v) (2x – 1)(x – 3) = (x + 5)(x – 1)
(ii) x2 – 2x = (–2) (3 – x) (vi) x2 + 3x + 1 = (x – 2)2
(iii) (x – 2)(x + 1) = (x – 1)(x + 3) (vii) (x + 2)3 = 2x (x2 – 1)
(iv) (x – 3)(2x +1) = x(x + 5) (viii) x3 – 4x2 – x + 1 = (x – 2)3
2. Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic
equations :
(i) The area of a rectangular plot is 528 m2 . The length
of the plot (in metres) is one more than twice its breadth. We need
to find the length and breadth of the plot.
(ii) The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need
to find the integers.
(iii) Rohan’s mother is 26 years older than
him. The product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be
360. We would like to find Rohan’s present age.
(iv) A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the
speed had been 8 km/h less, then it would have taken 3 hours more
to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train.
Ex 3. Find the roots of the equation 2x2 – 5x + 3 = 0, by factorisation.
Ex 4. Find the roots of the quadratic equation 6x2 – x – 2 = 0
Ex 5. Find the roots of 3x2 — 2√6x + 2 = 0
Ex 6. A charity trust decides to build a prayer hall having a carpet area of
300 square metres with its length one metre more than twice its
breadth. What should be the length and breadth of the hall?

1. Find the roots of the following quadratic equations by factorisation:

2. Solve the following quadratic equations :


(i) x2 - 45x + 324 = 0
(ii) x2 - 55x + 750 = 0
3. Find two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182.
4. Find two consecutive positive integers, sum of whose squares is 365.
5. The altitude of a right triangle is 7 cm less than its base. If the
hypotenuse is 13 cm, find the other two sides.
6. A cottage industry produces a certain number of pottery articles in a
day. It was observed on a particular day that the cost of production
of each article (in rupees) was 3 more than twice the number of
articles produced on that day. If the total cost of production on that
day was ₹90, find the number of articles produced and the cost of
each article.
