21. 24 t₁ + t₂ = 20
Sol. Using the equation s = ut + (1/2)at², where s is the Maximum velocity v = αt₁ = βt₂
displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the Distance traveled during acceleration
time, and a is the acceleration: = (1/2)αt₁²
s = 5 × 3 + (1/2) × 2 × 3² Distance traveled during deceleration
= 15 + 9 = (1/2)βt₂²
= 24 m Total distance = (1/2)αt₁² + (1/2)βt₂² = 200
The particle travels 24 meters. Given v = αt₁ = βt₂, we can express t₂ = αt₁/β
Substituting t₂ = 20 – t₁ and v = αt₁:
22. 40 αt₁ = β(20 – t₁)
Sol. Given a = 6t – 2, we can find the velocity v by αt₁ = 20β - βt₁
integrating a with respect to t: t₁(α + β) = 20β
v = ∫a dt = ∫(6t – 2) dt t₁ = 20β/(α + β)
= 3t² – 2t + C v = αt₁ = 20αβ/(α + β)
Since the particle starts from rest, v(0) = 0:
Using the distance equation and substituting t₂
0 = 3(0)² – 2(0) + C
C=0 = 20 – t₁:
So, v = 3t² – 2t (1/2)αt₁² + (1/2)β(20 – t₁)² = 200
At t = 4 seconds:
v = 3(4)² – 2(4) 25. 10
= 48 – 8 Sol. Using the equation v² = u² + 2as and v = u + at:
= 40 m/s
30 = u + 5a ... (1)
23. 240 900 = u² + 200a ... (2)
Sol. Let's denote the distance between A and B as d. From (1), a = (30 – u) / 5
Time taken from A to B = d/60 Substituting in (2):
Time taken from B to A = d/40 900 = u² + 200 × (30 – u) / 5
Total time = d/60 + d/40 = 10 900 = u² + 1200 – 40u
(2d + 3d)/120 = 10 u² – 40u + 300 = 0
5d/120 = 10
(u – 10)(u – 30) = 0
d = 240 km
u = 10 or u = 30

 a + b + 2a – b = 5 + 4
Hence, the solution set of the given inequality is
 3a = 9 (–∞, 2).
a=3
Putting a = 3 in eq. (1) we get b = 2 67. A

Sol. 9a – a2  17a + 15 = > 10 – 4x ≤ x – 30
On rearranging = > 10 + 30 ≤ x + 4x
–a2 + 9a  17a + 15 = > 5x ≥ 40
=>x≥8

Thus, all real numbers x which are greater than or
a2 – 9a  –17a – 15 equal to 8 are the solutions of the given
a2 – 9a 17a + 15 0 inequality, i.e., x ∈ [8, ∞).

a2 + 5a 3a + 15 0 Sol. Given, 4x – 2 ≤ 6 and 9x + 3 ≥ –15
Now, 4x – 2 ≤ 6
a(a + 5) + 3(a + 5) 0

(a + 3)(a + 5) 0 = > 2x ≤ 4
So, –3 and –5 are the roots of the equation. =>x≤2 ……divide by 2
Now look at the diagram given below, Again, 9x + 3 ≥ –15
We see that all the numbers less than –5 and all = > 3x + 1 ≥ –5 ……….divide by 3
