We have 3x + 7x + p = 0
Now +OQB = +OPB = 90c because radius is
Since x = - 2 is the root of above equation, it must always perpendicular to tangent.

Thus OP = OQ = PB = BQ
Thus 3 ^- 2h + 7 ^- 2h + p = 0
So, POQB is a square. Hence, r = OP = PB = 11 cm

Last year we visited Jodhpur in a group of 25

friends. When we went mehrangarh fort we found
following fare for ride :

Ride Normal Hours Fare Peak Hours Fare

Horse Rs 50 3 Times
Elephant Rs 100 2 Times
Some people choose to ride on horse and rest choose
to ride on elephant.
(i) First day we rode in normal hours and we paid Ans :
Rs 1950 for ride. Let x be the number of horses
hired and y be the number elephants hired. Since Profit = Revenue - Cost , we have
Which of the following is the correct system of P (x) = R (x) - C (x)
equation that model the problem ?
= - x2 + 326x - 7463 - 16x - 63
(ii) How many horses were hired ? How many
elephant were hired ? = - x2 + 310x - 7400
(iii) Next day we rode in peak hours, then how much (i) Thus profit function is P (x) = - x2 + 310x - 7400
total fare was paid by our group?
Now P (x) = - x2 + 310x - 7400
(iv) What was the increase in total fare because of
peak hours ride ? = - x2 + 310x - 1552 + 1552 - 7400
Ans : = - (x2 - 310x + 1552) + 16625
(i) Let x be the number of horses hired and y = - (x - 155) 2 + 16625
be the number of elephant hired, then we
have x + y = 25 and 50x + 100y = 1950 & From above equation it is clear that P (x) is
x + 2y = 39 maximum at x = 155 and this minimum value is
16625.
(ii) Solving equations x + y = 25 and x + 2y = 39
we get x = 11 and y = 14 . (ii) For maximum profit 155 thousand bottle must
be sold.
Number of horses hired = 11
(iii) The maximum profit is Rs 16625.
Number of elephant hired = 14.
(iv) To find profit at x = 245 using remainder
(iii) For horse riding fare = 3 # 50 # 11 = 1650 Rs.
theorem we divide P (x) = - x2 + 310x - 7400 by
