Ans : Let sum of roots = α + β; α = 3 – [Given]


According to the question, 6 = 3 – +β
⇒β=6–3+ =3+
Product of roots = (3 − ) (3 + )=9−5=4
2 2
So, equation is x – Sx + P = 0 ⇒ x – 6x + 4 = 0

Ans :

3. Determine, whether the following quadratic equations have real roots, if so find them: 3

Ans :

⇒ (2x + 3)(3x + 2) = (3x – 2)(4x – 1)


⇒ 6x2 + 4x + 9x + 6 = 12x2 – 3x – 8x + 2
⇒ 12x2 – 6x2 – 11x – 13x + 2 – 6 = 0
⇒ 6x2 – 24x – 4 = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 12x – 2 = 0
Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac = (–12)2 – 4 × 3 × (–2) = 144 + 24 = 168
Since D > 0, roots are real

∴x= = = =

Ans :

5. If α, β are the roots of the equation 2x2 + 5x + k = 0, find the value of k, if α2 + β2 + αβ = 21/4. 4

Ans :

6. Determine whether the given values are solutions of the equation or not: x4 – 13x2 + 36 = 0; x = 2, 4
x=–3

Ans : x4 – 13x2 + 36 = 0
For x = 2
(2)4 – 13(2)2 + 36 = 0
⇒ 16 – 52 + 36 = 0
⇒ 52 – 52 = 0
⇒0=0
So, x = 2 is a solution
Now, for x = –3
(–3)4 – 13(–3)2 + 36 = 0
⇒ 81 – 117 + 36 = 0
⇒ 117 – 117 = 0
⇒0=0
So, x = –3 is a solution

7. 4
Given . Using componendo and dividendo find x : y.
Ans :

8. If (x – 2) is a factor of 2x3 – x2 – px – 2; 4
(i) find the value of p.
(ii) With the value of p, factorise the above expression completely.

Ans : (i) Putting x – 2 = 0


⇒x=2
Since (x – 2) is the factor of 2x3 – x2 – px – 2
So,
2(2)3 – (2)2 – p(2) – 2 = 0
⇒ 16 – 4 – 2p – 2 = 0
⇒ 10 – 2p = 0 ⇒ p = 5
(ii) ∵ p = 5, the expression is = 2x3 – x2 – 5x – 2

Now, 2x2 + 3x + 1 = 2x2 + 2x + x + 1 = (2x + 1) (x + 1)


Hence, 2x3 – x2 – 5x – 2 = (x – 2) (2x + 1) (x + 1)

9. Given that x + 2 and x + 3 are factors of 2x3 + ax2 + 7x – b. Determine the values of a and b. 4
Ans : Put x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = –2
∵ (x + 2) is a factor of 2x3 + ax2 + 7x – b
⇒ 2(–2)3 + a(–2)2 + 7(–2) – b = 0
⇒ –16 + 4a – 14 – b = 0
⇒ 4a – b = 30 ...(i)
Put x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = –3
Also, (x + 3) is a factor of 2x3 + ax2 + 7x – b
⇒ 2(–3)3 + a(–3)2 + 7(–3) – b = 0
⇒ – 54 + 9a – 21 – b = 0
⇒ 9a – b = 75 ...(ii)
On solving these two equations, we get
4a – b = 30
9a – b = 75
– + –
–5a = – 45
a=9
Put a = 9 in equation (i), we get
4 × 9 – b = 30
⇒b=6

10. Determine the A.P. whose 8th term is 31 and 15th term exceeds the 11th term by 16. 4

Ans : Given a8 = 31
⇒ a + 7d = 31 ...(i)
Also, a15 = a11 + 16
⇒ a + 14d = a + 10d + 16
⇒ 14d – 10d = 16
⇒ 4d = 16
⇒d=4
∴ From (i), we get
a + 7 × 4 = 31
a + 28 = 31
a=3
∴ Required A.P. is 3, 7, 11, ...

11. 4
If the mth term of an A.P. is and the nth term is , show that the sum of mn terms is (mn +

1).
Ans :

12. The sum of four numbers in A.P. is 32 and the ratio of the product of means to the product of 4
extremes is 15 : 7. Find the numbers.

Ans : Let four numbers in A.P. be a – 3d, a – d, a + d and a + 3d respectively


Then a – 3d + a – d + a + d + a + 3d = 32
⇒ 4a = 32
⇒a=8

Also,

⇒ 7a2 – 7d2 = 15a2 – 135d2


⇒ 128d2 = 8a2
⇒ 16d2 = a2
⇒ 16d2 = 82
⇒ 16d2 = 64
⇒ d2 = 4
⇒d=±2
When a = 8 and d = 2, the numbers are 8 – 3 × 2, 8 – 2, 8 + 2 and 8 + 3 × 2, i.e. 2, 6, 10, 14
When a = 8 and d = – 2, the numbers are 14, 10, 6 and 2.
13. Find the sum of first 25 terms of an A.P. whose nth term is given by an = 2 – 3n. 4

Ans : an = 2 – 3n, n = 25
For n = 1, a1 = 2 – 3(1) = 2 – 3 = –1
For n = 2, a2 = 2 – 3(2) = 2 – 6 = –4
For n = 3, a3 = 2 – 3(3) = 2 – 9 = –7
–1, –4, –7, ... is the A.P. and so on
Here, a = –1, d = –4 – (–1) = –4 + 1 = –3
Now, Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d]

S25 = [2(–1) + (25 – 1) (–3)] = [–2 + 24(–3)]

= [–2 – 72] = [–74] = 25(–37) = –925

14. The sum of first q terms of an A.P. is 63q – 3q2. If its pth term is –60, find the value of p. Also, 4
find the 11th term of this A.P.

Ans : Given Sq = 63q – 3q2


∴ Sq – 1 = 63(q – 1) – 3(q – 1)2 [Replacing q by q – 1]
= 63(q – 1) – 3(q2 + 1 – 2q)
= 63q – 63 – 3q2 – 3 + 6q
= 69q – 66 – 3q2
∴ aq = Sq – Sq – 1
= 63q – 3q2 – (69q – 66 – 3q2)
= 63q – 3q2 – 69q + 66 + 3q2
= 66 – 6q
For q = 1, a1 = 66 – 6 × 1 = 66 – 6 = 60
For q = 2, a2 = 66 – 6 × 2 = 66 – 12 = 54
For q = 3, a3 = 66 – 6 × 3 = 66 – 18 = 48 and so on
∴ A.P. is 60, 54, 48, ...
Here, a = 60, d = 54 – 60 = –6
Now, ap = –60
⇒ a + (p – 1)d = –60
⇒ 60 + (p – 1) (–6) = –60
⇒ 60 – 6p + 6 = –60
⇒ 66 + 60 = 6p
⇒ 126 = 6p
⇒ p = 21
∴ a11 = a + 10d = 60 + 10(–6) = 60 – 60 = 0
