Section A
1. Find the discriminant of the given quadratic equation 2x2 - 4x + 3 = 0, and hence find the nature of its roots. [1]
3. John and Jivanti together have 45 marbles. Both of them lost 5 marbles each, and the product of the number of [1]
marbles they now have is 124. We would like to find out how many marbles they had to start with. Represent the
situation mathematically (quadratic equation).

= 0 by factorization. [3]
9. Find two consecutive positive integers, sum of whose squares is 365. [3]
10. The altitude of a right triangle is 7 cm less than its base. If the hypotenuse is 13 cm, find the other two sides. [3]
Section C
11. Represent the situation in the form of the quadratic equation: [5]
A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8 km/hr less, then it would have
taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train.
12. A cottage industry produces a certain number of toys in a day. The cost of production of each toy (in rupees) was [5]
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. Represent the situations
mathematically (quadratic equation).
