  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.33

    If 3x+y = 81 and 81x-y = 3, then what is x equal to?

    Solutions

    Given:

    3x+y = 81 and 81x-y = 3

    Calculation:

    According to the question

    3x+y = 81

    ⇒ 3x+y = (3)4

    So, x + y = 4 .....(1)

    Again, 81x-y = 3

    ⇒ (3)4x - 4y = (3)1

    ⇒ 4x - 4y = 1 ....(2)

    Now, multiplying equation (1) by 4, we get

    ⇒ 4x + 4y = 16 ....(3)

    Adding equation (2) and (3), we get 

    ⇒ 8x = 17

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.33

    The sign of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c is always positive if

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    (ax² + bx + c) is always positive, if there exists no real root of the equation & a is positive.

    The condition for real root is (b2- 4ac) <0

    If we apply the strict inequality we have (b2- 4ac) <0, we can conclude 'a' is positive.

    ∴ The sign of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c is always positive if a is positive and b2 - 4ac ≤ 0.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.33

    What is the value of k that (2x - 1) may be a factor of 4x4 - (k - 1)x3 + kx2 - 6x + 1?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The value of k that (2x - 1) may be a factor of 4x4 - (k - 1)x3 + kx2 - 6x + 1

    Calculation:

    On putting 2x = 1 in the expression 4x4 - (k - 1)x3 + kx2 - 6x + 1

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.33

    If the roots of the equation x2 - 2ax + a2 + a - 3 = 0 are real and less than 3, then which one of the following is correct?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The roots of the equation x2 - 2ax + a2 + a - 3 = 0 are real and less than 3

    Concept used:

    We have a formula for solving quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is

    Calculation:

    x2 - 2ax + a2 + a - 3 = 0 ....(1)

    ⇒ (x - a)2 = 3 - a

    Since, (x - a)2 ≥ 0

    ⇒ 3 - a ≥ 0

    ⇒ a ≤ 3

    Now, according to the above concept

    The roots of the equation (1) is

    ⇒ x = a ± √(3 - a)

    Since, roots are less than 3

    ⇒ a + √(3 - a) < 3

    ⇒ √(3 - a) < 3 - a

    ⇒ 3 - a < 9 + a2 - 6a

    ⇒ a2 - 5a + 6 > 0

    ⇒ (a - 2)(a - 3) > 0

    ⇒ a < 2 or a > 3

    ∴ The required answer is a < 2.

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.33

    Solutions

    Multiply the whole equation with 'abc'

    ⇒ bcx2 + acx + ab = 0  

    Let roots are α and 1/α 

    Now,

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.33

    Assuming that profit of a shopkeeper in a particular commodity is a linear expression of transportation charge (t) and the quantity of commodity (q). He earns a profit of Rs. 10,000 by selling 20 units at the transport charge of Rs. 400. He also earns a profit of Rs. 12,000 by selling 25 units at the transport charge of Rs. 600. What is the linear expression in t and q?

    Solutions

    Given:

    A shopkeeper earns a profit of Rs. 10,000 by selling 20 units at the transport charge of Rs. 400.

    He also earns a profit of Rs: 12,000 by selling 25 units at the transport charge of Rs. 600.

    Calculation:

    Let the linear expression of transportation charge (t) and the quantity of the commodity (q) is as follows:

    Earned profit = x.t + y.q

    Then, according to the question

    ⇒ 10,000 = 400t + 20q

    ⇒ 500 = 20t + q ....(1)

    Again, 

    ⇒ 12,000 = 600t + 25q

    ⇒ 480 = 24t + q ....(2)

    Now, solving equation (1) and (2), we get

    ⇒ 20 = -4t

    ⇒ t = -5

    Now, putting the value of t in equation (1), we get

    ⇒ 500 = -100 + q

    ⇒ q = 600

    So, the linear expression in t and q = 600q - 5t.

    ∴ The required linear expression is 600q - 5t.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.33

    If (x + y) : (y + z) : (z + x) = 9 : 6 : 11 and x + y + z = 26 , then find the the value of (x + y2 + z )

    Solutions

    Given :

    If (x + y) : (y + z) : (z + x) = 9 : 6 : 11

    and x + y + z = 26

    Calculation:

     (x + y) = 9k , then y + z = 6k and z + x = 11k

    So, (x + y) + (y + z) + (z + x) = 9k + 6k +11k

    ⇒ 2( x + y + z) = 26k

    ⇒ ( x + y + z) = 13k

    So, ( x + y + z) -  (y + z) = 13k - 6k

    ⇒ x = 7k , similarly y = 2k and z = 4k

    As per the question

    13k = 26

    ⇒ k = 2

    So x = 7 × 2 

    ⇒ 14 

    similarly,  y = 4 and z = 8

    So,

    (x + y2 + z ) = 14 + 42 + 8

    ⇒ 14 + 16 + 8 = 38 

    So value  of (x + y2 + z ) is 38

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.33

    If x4 + x-4 = 47, x > 0, then what is the value of 

    Solutions

    Given:

    If x4 + x-4 = 47, x > 0,

    Concept used:

    (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

    Calculations:

    According to the question,

    Subtracting 2 from both the sides, we get,
