Let a, β are the zeros of 4x2 - 8kx + 9
Then, we have
(−8k)
α + β = − = 2k
4
9
αβ =
4

GIven, α − β = 4
Now, (α + β) = (α − β) 2 2
+ 4αβ

2 2 9
⇒ (2k) = (4) + 4 ×
4

2
⇒ 4k = 16 + 9

2
⇒ 4k = 25

2 25
⇒ k =

Since k > 0, we have k = 5

4. (a) 2
Explanation:
Here, ax2 + ax + 2 = 0….. (1)
x2 + x + b = 0….. (2)
Putting the value of x = 1 in equation (2) we get
12 + 1 + b = 0
2+b=0
b = −2
Now, putting the value of x = 1 in equation (1) we get
a+a+2=0

(b) 5
Explanation:
Let the number of wickets taken by Srinath be x
then, the number of wickets taken by Kumble will be 2x - 3
According to question, x(2x - 3) = 20
⇒ 2x2 - 3x - 20 = 0
⇒ 2x2 - 8x + 5x - 20 = 0
⇒ 2x(x - 4) + 5(x - 4) = 0

⇒ (x - 4)(2x + 5) = 0
⇒ x - 4 = 0 and 2x + 5 = 0
−5 −5
⇒ x = 4 and x = [x = is not possible]
2 2

Therefore, the number of wickets taken by Srinath is 4.

Then, the number of wickets taken by Kumble = 2 × 4 - 3 = 5

Explanation:

We know that if two chords intersect each other at T outside the circle, then TP × TQ = TS × TR Let SR = x cm
⇒ (5 + 3) × 3 = (x + 2) × 2

⇒ x + 2 = 12

⇒x = 10 cm x = 10 cm

∴ SR = 10 cm

17.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:

4 / 12
 As the number of zeroes of polynomial f(x) is the number of points at which f(x) cuts (intersects) then x-axis and number of
zero in the given fig. is 3.

So, A is correct but R is not correct.

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Section B
21. Since the graph of quadratic polynomial f(x) = ax2+b
x+c cuts negative direction of the y−axis, we put x = 0 to find the
intersection point on y-axis.
y = 0+0+c = c
So, the point is (0, c).
Now it is given that the quadratic polynomial cuts negative direction of y-axis.
So c<0

22. Given, 21x 2
− 2x +
21
= 0

⇒ 441x2 - 42x + 1 = 0
By splitting the middle term, we have
441x2 - 21x - 21x + 1 = 0
⇒ 21x (21x - 1) - 1 (21x - 1) = 0

⇒ (21x - 1) (21x - 1) = 0

∴ 21x - 1 = 0 or 21x - 1 = 0

∴ x= ,x= 1

Section C
26. Sum of the zeroes: (2 + β ) = (-1)
Product of the zeroes : 2β = -20
So, required Quadratic polynomial
= [x 2
+ (α + β)x + 2β]

27. Let shortest side be x units and other side be y units

Hypotenuse = z units
As per given condition
The perimeter of right-angled triangle is five times the length of its shortest side.
So, x + y + z = 5x
⇒ y + z= 4x

⇒ z = 4x - y ...(i)
The numerical value of the area of the triangle is 15 times the numerical value of the length of the shortest side.
So, area of the rectangle is = 15x
⇒
1

2
x⋅ y = 15x

6 / 12
 ⇒ y = 30 ....(ii)
Using Pythagoras Theorem, we get
z2 = x2 + y2
⇒ (4x - y)2 = x2 + y2 [from (i)]
⇒ (4x - 30)2 = x2 + (30)2 [Using (ii)]
⇒ 16x2 - 240x + 900 = x2 + 900
⇒ 15x2 - 240x = 0
⇒ 15x(x - 16) = 0

⇒x = 0(rejecting) or x = 16
∴ x = 16

∴ length of the shortest side = 16 units

length of other side = 30 units

length of hypotenuse z = 4 × 16 - 30 = 34 units
28. Let ABC is the right-angled triangle right angled at B.
Let BC = x units and AB = y units.
Also AC Hypotenuse = 29 units ( given )

Perimeter = 70 units ( given )

⇒ x + y +29 = 70

⇒ x + y = 41

⇒ y = 41 - x ....................(i)
Also we know that AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ (29)2 = (y)2+x2
⇒ 841 = (41 - x)2 + x2 ( by using (i) )
⇒ 841 = 1681 + x2 - 82x + x2
⇒ 2x2 - 82x + 840 = 0 ⇒ x2 - 41x + 420 = 0
By factorizing the above quadratic equation we have,
(x - 20) (x - 21) = 0 ⇒ x = 20 or x = 21
Now When x = 20, y = 41 - x = 21 and when x = 21, y = 41 - 21 = 20
​Therefore, length of other two sides are 20 units and 21 units.

We are given that ,

Outer radius of the vessel, R = 14 cm.
Inner radius of the vessel, r = 10 cm.
Area of the outer surface = (2π R2) sq units
= (2π × 14 × 14) cm2 = (392π ) cm2.
Area of the inner surface = (2π r2) sq units
= (2π × 10 × 10) cm2 = (200π ) cm2.
Area of the ring at the top = π (R2 - r2) sq units
= π [(14)2 - (10)2] cm2
= π (14 + 10)(14 -10) cm2 = (96π ) cm2.

30. It is given that
Volume of 1 cube= 64 cm3
or, (side)3 = 64cm3
⇒ a3 = (4)3
⇒ a = 4 cm
Length of cuboid = a + a = 4 + 4 = 8 cm
Breadth= a = 4cm
Height = a = 4cm
Hence, l = 8cm, b = 4 cm, h = 4 cm
Area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(8×4 + 4×4 + 4×8)
= 2(32+ 16 + 32)
= 2(80) = 160cm2
∴ required surface area of a cuboid is 160cm2

⇒ x2 - 42x + 3x - 126 = 0
⇒ x(x - 42) + 3(x - 42) = 0

⇒ (x - 42)(x + 3) = 0

⇒ x - 42 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

⇒ x = 42 or x = -3
Since the speed cannot be negative, x ≠ −3 .
Thus, the original average speed of the train is 42 km/hr.
