Question 4:

1. Solution: Interest (I) = \(\frac{\text { Principal }(P) \times \text { Rate }(r) \times \text { time }(t)}{100}\)

= \(\text { Rs. } \frac{500 \times \frac{25}{4} \times 3}{100}\)

= \(5 \times \frac{25}{4} \times 3 \text { Rs. } 93.75\)

Amount (P + I) = Rs. (500 + 93.75) = Rs. 593.75

2. Solution: Here P = R Rs. 146,

r = \(2 \frac{1}{2} \%=\frac{5}{2} \%\)

t = 1 day

= \(\frac{1}{365} \text { Interest }=\frac{146 \times \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{365}}{100}\)

= Rs. \(\frac{1}{100}\) = Rs. 0.01 Amount

r = 4%;

t = 2 years 6 months

= 2 \(\frac{1}{2}\) years.

= \(\frac{5}{2}\) years.

Interest = Rs. \(\frac{4565 \times 4 \times \frac{5}{2}}{100}\)

= Rs. \(\frac{4565 \times 10}{100}\)

= Rs. 456.50 Amount = Rs. (4565 + 456.50)

= Rs. 5021.50

Question 5: Let us write in the blank calculate it

1. Solution: Here P = \(\frac{\mid \times 100}{r \times t}\)

Here I = Rs. 72

r = \(4 \frac{1}{2} \%=\frac{9}{2} \%\)

t = 4 years.

= \(\text { Rs. } \frac{72 \times 100}{\frac{9}{2} \times 4}\)

= \(\text { Rs. } \frac{72 \times 100}{18}\)

= Rs. 400

2. Solution: Here P = \(\frac{I \times 100}{r \times t}\)

= Here I = Rs. 1

r = 5%

t = 1 day = \(\frac{1}{365}\)

= \(\frac{1 \times 100}{5 \times \frac{1}{365}}\)

= Rs. 73 x 100

= Rs. 7300.

Question 6:

Principal	Time	Rate of simple interest per annum	Principal with interest
Rs.6400		4 ½%	Rs.1008
Rs.500	5%	6%

 

Solution: 1. Time = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { rate }}\)

Here, Interest = Rs. 1008

Rate = \(4 \frac{1}{2}\)% = \(\frac{9}{2}\)%

Principal = Rs. 6,400

= \(\frac{1008 \times 100}{6400 \times \frac{9}{2}}\)

Time = \(\frac{1008}{32 \times 9}\)

= 3.5 years

= \(3 \frac{1}{2}\) years.

2. Solution: Time = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Rate }}\)

Here, Interest = Rs. 50

Rate = 5%

Principal = Rs. 500

= \(\frac{50 \times 100}{500 \times 5}\)

= 2 years

∴ Time = 2 years.

Question 7. Let us determine the rate of simple interest in percent per annum if the interest of Rs. 500 in 4 yrs. is 100.

Solution:

1st process:

Principal = Rs. 500,

Interest = Rs. 100,

Time = 4 years,

Rate = ?

Interest on Rs. 500 for 4  yrs is 100.

Interest on Rs. 100 for 1 yrs is \(\frac{100}{500} \times 100\)

Interest on Rs. 100 for 1 yr is \(\frac{100 \times 100}{500 \times 4}=5\)

∴ Rate = 5%

Question 8. By calculating let us write the rate of simple interest in percent per annum when the principal with interest of Rs. 910 in 2 yrs. 6 months will be Rs. 955.50.

Solution: Here, Principal = Rs. 910

Interest = Rs. (955.50 – 910)

= Rs. 45.50

Time = 2 years 6 months

= \(2 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{yrs}\)

= \(\frac{5}{2}\) yrs

∴ Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}\)

= \(\frac{45.50 \times 100}{910 \times \frac{5}{2}}\)

= \(\frac{4550 \times 2}{910 \times 5}=2 \%\)

∴ Rate = 2%.

Question 9. The amount (principal along with interest) of same money becomes Rs. 496 in 3 yrs. and Rs. 560 in 5 yrs. at the same rate of simple interest in percent per annum. By calculating, let us write the principal and the rate of simple interest in percent per annum.

Solution: Principal + Interest for 5  years = Rs. 560

& Principal + Interest for 3 years = Rs. 496

∴ Interest for 2 years = Rs. 64

∴ Interest for 1 year = Rs. \(\frac{64}{2}\) = 32

& Interest for 3 years = Rs. 32 x 3 = Rs. 96

∴ Principal + Interest for 3 years = Rs. 496

Interest for 3 years = Rs. 96

∴ Principal = Rs.(496 – 96) = Rs. 400

Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}=\frac{96 \times 100}{400 \times 3}=8\)

∴ Rate = 8%.

Question 10. Bimalkaku deposited Rs. 1,87,500 for his son of 12 yrs. age and daughter of 14 yrs. age in the bank at the rate of simple interest  per annum in such away that both of them will get equal principal along with interest after reaching their 18 yrs. of age. Let us calculate the money he had deposited in the bank for each of his son and daughter.

Solution: Let Bimal babu deposited Rs. x for his 12 yrs old son & Rs. y for his 14 yrs old daughter.

∴ x + y = 187500

When his son will be 18 yrs, i.e., after 6 yrs, h son’s amount = Rs. \(\left(x+\frac{x \times 6 \times 5}{100}\right)\)

= \(\frac{10 x+3 x}{5}=\text { Rs. } \frac{13 x}{10}\)

Again, when his daughter will be 18 years, i.e., after 4 yrs.

His daughter’s amount = Rs \(\left(y+\frac{y \times 4 \times 85}{100}\right)=\frac{5 y+y}{, 5}=\frac{6 y}{5}\)

According to the problem,

\(\frac{13 x}{10}=\frac{6 y}{5}\)

or, 13x – 12y = 0

x + y = 187500

or, 12x + 12y = 12 x 187500 = 2250000

& 13x – 12y = 0

Adding, 25x = 2250000

x = \(\frac{2250000}{25}=90000\)

y = 187500 – 90000= 97500

Question 11. Jayanta deposits Rs. 1000 on the first day of every month in monthly savings scheme. In the bank, if the rate of simple interest is  per annum, then let us calculate the amount Jayanta will get at the end of 6 months.

Solution: Interest on Rs. 1000 at the rate 5% for each month

= Rs. \(\left[\frac{1000 \times 5 \times 6}{100 \times 12}+\frac{1000 \times 5 \times 5}{100 \times 12}+\frac{1000 \times 5 \times 4}{100 \times 12}+\frac{1000 \times 5 \times 3}{100 \times 12}+\frac{1000 \times 5 \times 2}{100 \times 12}+\frac{1000 \times 5 \times 1}{100 \times 12}\right]\)

= Rs. \(\frac{1000 \times 5}{100 \times 12}[6+5+4+3+2+1]=\text { Rs. } \frac{50}{12} \times 21=\text { Rs. } \frac{175}{2}=87.50\)

Amount = Rs.(1000 x 6 + 87.50) = Rs. (6000 + 87.50)

= Rs. 6087.50

Question 12. Soma aunti deposits Rs. 6,20,000 in such a way in three banks at the rate of simple interest of  per annum for 2 yrs. and . respectively so that the total interests in the 3 banks are equal. Let us calculate the money deposited by Soma aunti in each of the three banks.

Solution: Let Soma aunti deposited Rs. p, Rs. x & Rs. y in 3 banks respectively at the rate of 5% S.I.

∴ p + x + y = 620000

Now, the interest from 3 banks are

\(\frac{p \times 5 \times 2}{100}=\frac{x \times 5 \times 3}{100}=\frac{y \times 5 \times 5}{100}\)

2p = 3x = 5y = k(let)

∴ \(p=\frac{k}{2} ; x=\frac{k}{3} ; y=\frac{k}{5}\)

As, p + x + y = 620000

or, \(\frac{k}{2}+\frac{k}{3}+\frac{k}{5}=620000\)

or, \(\frac{15 k+10 k+6 k}{30}=62,0000\)

∴ \(\frac{31 k}{30}=620000\)

\(k=\frac{620000 \times 30}{31}=60,0000\)

∴ \(p=\frac{k}{2}=\frac{60,0000}{2}=300,000\)

\(x=\frac{k}{3}=\frac{60,0000}{3}=200,000\) \(y=\frac{k}{5}=\frac{60,0000}{5}=120,0000\)

∴ She deposited Rs. 300,000; Rs. 200,000 and Rs. 1200,000respectively in 3 banks.

Question 6. If two roots of the quadratic equation 5x²+2x-3= 0 are x and ẞ, then let us determine the value of :

Solution: As x and are the roots of the equation 5x² + 2x – 3 = 0

∵ \(\alpha+\beta=-\frac{2}{5} \text { and } \alpha \beta=-\frac{3}{5}\)

1. α²+ β²

Solution: \((\alpha+\beta)^2-2 \alpha \beta\)

= \(\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^{2^{\prime}}-2\left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)^2\)

= \(\frac{4}{25}+\frac{6}{5}=\frac{4+30}{25}=\frac{34}{25}\)

(2) α³ +ẞ³

Solution: \((\alpha+\beta)^3-3 \propto \beta(\alpha+\beta)\)

= \(\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^3-3\left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\)

= \(-\frac{8}{125}-\frac{18}{25}=\frac{-8-90}{125}=\frac{-98}{125}\)

(3) α² /B + B²/ α

Solution: \(\frac{\alpha^3+\beta^3}{\alpha \beta}=\left(\frac{-98}{125}\right) \div\left(\frac{-3}{5}\right)\)

= \(\frac{-98}{125} \times\left(\frac{-5}{3}\right)=+\frac{98}{75}\)

Question 7. If one root of the equation ax² + bx + c = 0 is twice of the other, then let us show that 2b² = 9ac.

Solution: ax² + bx + c = 0

Let one root is β, then the other root = 2α.

∴ \(\alpha+2 \alpha=-\frac{b}{a}\)

or, \(3 \propto=-\frac{b}{a}\)

or, \(\alpha=-\frac{b}{3 a}\)

Again, \(\alpha .2 \alpha=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}}\)

or, \(2 \propto^2=\frac{c}{a}\)

∴ \(2\left(-\frac{b}{3 a}\right)^2=\frac{c}{a}\)

\(\frac{2 b^2}{9 a^2}=\frac{c}{a}\)

∴ 2b² = 9ac proved.

Question 8. Let us form the equation whose roots are reciprocals to the roots of equation x² + px + 1 = 0.

Solution: x² + px + 1 = 0

Let the roots of equation be α and β.

∴ \(\alpha+\beta=\frac{-p}{1}=-p\)

& \(\alpha \beta=\frac{1}{1}=1\)

Now, the roots of the new equation are \(\frac{1}{\alpha} \text { and } \frac{1}{\beta}.\)

∴ Some of the roots = \(\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{-p}{1}=-p\)

Product of the roots = \(\frac{1}{\alpha} \cdot \frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{1}{1}=1\)

∴ The required equation is x² – (sum of the roots)x + product of the roots = 0

or, x² – (-p)x + 1 = 0 i.e., x2 + px + 1 = 0

Chapter 1 Quadratic Equations In One Variable Exercise 1.5 Short Answers

Question 1. Let us write the quadratic equation if the sum of its roots is 14 and the product of them is 24.

Solution: The sum of the roots. 14 & the product of the roots = 24.

The required equation is x² – 14x + 24 = 0.

Question 2. If the sum and the product of two roots of the equation kx² + 2x + 3k = 0 (k = 0) áre equal, let us write the value of k.

Solution: The sum of the roots = –\(\frac{2}{k}\)

and the product of roots = \(\frac{3 k}{k}\) = 3.

∴ –\(\frac{2}{k}\)

or, 3k = -2

∴ k = –\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Question 3. If x and ẞ be the two roots of the equation x² – 22x + 105= 0, let us write the value of (x – B).

Solution: As α and β are the roots of the equation x² – 22x + 105 = 0

∴ \(\alpha+\beta=-\left(\frac{-22}{1}\right)=22 \text { and } \alpha \beta=105\)

\((\alpha-\beta)^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-4 \propto \beta=(22)^2-4 \times 105=484-420=64\)

∴ \((\alpha-\beta)=\sqrt{64}= \pm 8\)

Question 4. If the sum of two roots of the equation x²-x= k (2x-1) is zero, let us write the value of k.

Solution: Given x² – x = k(2x – 1)

or, x² – x – 2kx + k = 0

or, x² – (1 + 2k)x + k = 0

as the sum of the roots = 0

∴ 1 + 2k = 0

∴  k = –\(\frac{1}{2}\)

“Class 10 WBBSE Maths Exercise 1.5 solutions for Quadratic Equations”

Question 5. If one of the roots of the two equations x² + bx+12= 0 and x² + bx + q = 0 is 2, let us write the value of q.

Solution: As 2 is the common root of the equation x² + Dx + 12 = 0

i.e., (2)² + b x 2 + 12 = 0

or, 2b = -16

∴ b – 8

Again, 2 is the root of the 2nd equation x² + bx + q = 0

∴ (2)² + (-8) x 2 + q = 0

or, 4 – 16 + q = 0

∴ q = 12.

Question 4. If the following quadratic equations have real roots, then let us determine them with the help of Sreedhar Acharyya’s formula.

1. 3x²+11x-4=0

Solution: 3x² + 11x – 4 = 0

\(x=\frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{(11)^2-4.3(-4)}}{2 \times 3}\)

= \(\frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{121+48}}{2 \times 3}\)

= \(\frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{169}}{6}=\frac{-11 \pm 13}{6}\)

∴ \(x=\frac{-11+13}{6}\)

& \(x=\frac{-11-13}{6}\)

x = \(\frac{2}{6}\)

x = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

& x = –\(\frac{24}{6}\)

x = -4

∴ x = 1/3 and x = -4.

2. (x-2) (x+4) +9=0

Solution: (x – 2)(x + 4) + 9 = 0

⇒ x² + 2x – 8 + 9 = 0

⇒ x² + 2x + 1 = 0

\(x=\frac{-(+2) \pm \sqrt{(+2)^2-4.1 .1}}{2 \times 1}=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4-4}}{2}=\frac{-2 \pm 0}{2}\)

∴ x = -1 & x = -1.

Question 5. Let us express the following mathematical problems in the form of quadratic equations with one variable and solve them by applying Sreedhar Acharyya’s formula or with the help of factorization.

1. Sathi has drawn a right-angled triangle whose length of the hypotenuse is 6 cm more than twice of the shortest side. If the length of the third side is 2 cm less than the length of the hypotenuse, then by calculating, let us write the lengths of the three sides of the right-angled triangle drawn by Sathi.

Solution: Let the length of smallest side of the triangle = x cm.

∴ Length of hypotenuse = (2x + 6)cm.

&  length of the 3rd side = 2x + 6 – 2 = 2x + 4

∴ \((2 x+6)^2=x^2+(2 x+4)^2\)

⇒ \(4 x^2+24 x+36=x^2+4 x^2+16 x+16\)

⇒ \(x^2+16 x-24 x+16-36=0\)

⇒ \(x^2-8 x-20=0\)

∴ \(x=\frac{-(-8) \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2-4.1(-20)}}{2 \times 1}=\frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64+80}}{2}=\frac{8 \pm 12}{2}\)

∴ \(x=\frac{8+12}{2} \& x=\frac{8-12}{2}=-2\)     (not possible)

⇒ \(x=\frac{20}{2}=10\)

∴ The length of the sides are 10cm, 24 cm & 26 cm.

2. If a two-digit positive number is multiplied by its unit digit, then the product is 189 and if the ten’s digit is twice of the unit digit, then let us calculate the unit digit.

Solution: Let in a two digit number the digit in the tenth place 2x.

∴ The number is 10(2x) + x = 21x.

According to the problem,

21x x = 189

⇒ 21x² = 189

x² = 9

∴ x = ±3

∴ The digit in the unit place = 3.

3. The speed of Salma is 1m/second more than the speed of Anik. In a 180 m run, Salma reaches 2 seconds before Anik. Let us write by calculating the speed of Anik in m/sec.

Solution: Let the speed of Anik is xm/sec.

∴ Speed of Salma is (x + 1)m/sec.

To go 180 m, Anik takes\(\frac{180}{x}\) sec & Salma takes \(\frac{180}{x+1}\)sec.

According to the problem,

\(\frac{180}{x}-\frac{180}{x+1}=2\)

⇒ \(180\left(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+1}\right)=2\)

⇒ \(\frac{x+1-x}{x(x+1)}=\frac{2}{180}=\frac{1}{90}\)

⇒ x² + x = 90

⇒ x² + x – 90 = 0

⇒ x² + 10x – 90 – 90 = 0

⇒ x(x + 10) – 9(x + 10) = 0

⇒ (x + 10)(x – 9) = 0

∴ x = -10  (It is impossible)

or, x – 9 = 0

∴ x = 9

∴ Speed of Anis is 9m/sec

4. There is a square park in our locality. The area of a rectangular park is 78 sqm less than the twice of area of that square-shaped park whose length is 5 m more than the length of the side of that park and the breadth is 3 m less than the length of the side of that park. Let us write by calculating the length of the side of the square- shaped park.

Solution: Let each side of the square park = xm & its area = x² sqm.

∴ Length of the rectangle = (x + 5)m

& the breadth of the rectangle = (x – 3)m.

Area of the rectangle = (x + 5)(x – 3)sqm.

According to the problem,

2x² – (x + 5).(x – 3) = 78

⇒ 2x² – (x² + 5x – 3x – 15) – 78 = 0

⇒ 2x² – x² – 2x + 15 – 78 = 0

⇒ x² – 2x – 63 = 0

⇒ x² – 9x + 7x – 63 = 0

⇒ x(x – 9) + 7(x – 9) = 0

⇒ (x-9)(x+7)=0

∴ Eitherx-9=0       ∴x=9.

Or, x+7=0            ∴x=-7 (Not possible)

∴ Length of each side of the square field=9 m. Ans.

5. In our village, Proloy babu bought 350 chili plants for planting on his rectangular land. When he put the plants in rows, he noticed that if he would put 24 rows more than the number of plants in each row, 10 plants would remain in excess. Let us write by calculating the number of plants he put in each row.

Solution: Let proloy baby puts x plants in each row.

According to the problem,

x x (x + 24) + 10 = 350

⇒ x² + 24x + 10 – 350 = 0

⇒ x² + 24x – 340 = 0

⇒ x² + (34 – 10)x – 340 = 0

⇒ x² + 34x – 10x – 340 = 0

⇒ x(x + 34) – 10(x + 34) = 0

⇒ (x + 34)(x – 10) = 0

Either x + 34 = 0

∴ x = -34      (It is impossible)

or, x – 10 = 0

∴ x = 10

∴ No. of plants in each row = 10.

6. Joseph and Kuntal work in a factory. Joseph takes 5 minutes less time than Kuntal to make a product. Joseph makes 6 products more than Kuntal while working for 6 hours. Let us write by calculating, the number of products Kuntal makes during that time.

Solution: Let Kuntal takes x min. to make an article & Joesph takes (x – 5)min to make the article.

∴ In 6 hrs. Kuntal makes \(\frac{6 \times 60}{x}\) & Joesph makes \(\frac{6 \times 60}{x-5}\) articles respectively.

∴ According to the problem,

\(\frac{6 \times 60}{x-5}-\frac{6 \times 60}{x}=6\)

or, \(6 \times 60\left(\frac{1}{x-5}-\frac{1}{60}\right)=6\)

or, \(\frac{x-x+5}{x(x-5)}=\frac{1}{60}\)

∴ x² – 5x = 300

or, x² – 5x – 300 = 0

or, x² – 20x + 15x – 300 = 0

or, x(x – 20) + 15(x – 20) = 0

or, (x – 20)(x + 15) = 0

either x – 20 = 0

or, x + 15 = 0

∴ x = 20

∴ in 20 min. kuntal makes 1 article.

∴ In 6hrs = 6 x 60 min.

Kuntal makes \(\frac{1}{20} \times 6 \times 60=18\) articles.

7. The speed of a boat in still water is 8 km/hr. If the boat can go 15 km downstream and 22 km upstream in 5 hours, then let us write by calculating, the speed of the stream.

Solution: Let the speed of current = x km/hr

As the speed of the boat = 8 km/hr

∴ Speed of the boat with the current = (8 + x)km/hr

& Speed of the boat against the current = (8 – x)km/hr

∴ According to the problem,

\(\frac{15}{8+x}+\frac{22}{8-x}=5\)

or, \(\frac{15(8-x)+22(8+x)}{(8+x)(8-x)}=5\)

or, 120 – 15x + 176 + 22x = 5(64 – x²)

or, 296 + 7x = 320 – 5x²

or, 5x² + 7x – 24 = 0

or, 5x² + 15x – 8x – 24 = 0

or, 5x(x + 3) -8(x + 3) = 0

or, (x + 3).(5x – 8) = 0

either x + 3 = 0

x = -3 (not possible)

or, 5x – 8 = 0

5x = 8

∴ \(x=\frac{8}{5}=1 \frac{3}{5}\)

∴ Speed of the current = \(1 \frac{3}{5}\) km/hr

“WBBSE Class 10 Maths Exercise 1.4 Quadratic Equations problem solutions”

8. A superfast train runs having a speed of 15 km/hr more than that of an express train. Leaving the same station the superfast train reached a station of 180 km distance 1 hour before that the express train. Let us determine the speed of the superfast train in km/hr.

Solution: Let the speed of the superfast train = \(\frac{x \mathrm{~km}}{\mathrm{hr}}\) &

the speed of the express train = (x – 15)km/hr

According to the problem,

\(\frac{180}{x-15}-\frac{180}{x}=1\)

or, \(180\left(\frac{1}{x-15}-\frac{1}{x}\right)=1\)

or, \(\frac{x-x+15}{x(x-15)}=\frac{1}{180}\)

or, x² – 15x = 15 x 180

or, x² – 15x – 2700 = 0

or, x² – 60x + 45x – 2700 = 0

or, x(x – 650) + 45(x – 60) = 0

or, (x – 60)(x + 45) = 0

Either x – 60 = 0

x = 60

or, x + 45 = 0

x = -45 (not possible)

∴ Speed of the superfast train = 60km/hr.

9. Rehana went to the market and saw that the price of dal of 1 kg is Rs. 20 and the price of rice of 1 kg Is Rs. 40 less than that of fish of 1 kg. The quantity of fish and that of dal in Rs. 240 is equal to the quantity of rice in Rs. 280. Let us calculate the cost price of 1 kg of fish.

Solution: Let the price of fish = Rs x /kg &

the price of rice = Rs. (x – 40)/kg &

the price of pulse = Rs (x – 20)/kg

∴ According to the problem,

\(\frac{240}{x}+\frac{240}{x-20}=\frac{280}{x-40}\) \(240\left[\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x-20}\right]=\frac{280}{x-40}\) \(6\left[\frac{x-20+x}{x(x-20)}\right]=\frac{7}{x-40}\) \(6 \times \frac{(2 x-20)}{x^2-20 x}=\frac{7}{x-40}\)

or, 6 x (2x – 20)(x – 40) = 7(x² – 20x)

or, 12x² – 7x² – 600x + 140x + 4800 – 0

or, 5x² – 460x + 4800 = 0

or, 5(x² – 92x + 960) = 0

x² – 80x – 12x + 960 = 0

x(x – 80) – 12(x – 80) = 0

or, (x – 80)(x – 12) = 0

Either x – 80 = 0

∴ x = 80

or, x – 12 = 0

∴ x = 12  (Not possible)

∴ Price of Fish = Rs. 80/kg

Question 6. I determine the nature of the two roots of the following quadratic equations: 2x²+x-2

Solution: 2x² + x – 2 = 0

Here, Discriminant = b² – 4ac

= (1)² – 4.2(-2)

Solution: 2x² – 10x + k = 0

Here, Discriminant = b² – 4ac

= (-10)² – 4.2.k

= 100 – 8k

As the roots of the equation are real & equal,

∴ 100 – 8k = 0

∴ 8k = 100

∴ \(k=\frac{100}{8}=\frac{25}{2}\)

Question 8. I determine the sum and product of two roots of the quadratic equations: 4x²-9x=100

Solution: 4x²-9x-100 = 0

Sum of roots = \(-\frac{b}{a}=\frac{-(-9)}{4}=\frac{9}{4}\)

Product of roots = \(\frac{c}{a}=\frac{-100}{4}=-25\)

Solution: Given, ax² + bx + c = 0. [x and β are the roots of the equation]

∴ \(\alpha+\beta=\frac{-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}} \& \propto \beta=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}}\)

\(\frac{1}{\alpha^3}+\frac{1}{\beta^3}=\left(\frac{\alpha^3+\beta^3}{\alpha^3 \beta^3}\right)=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^3-3 \alpha \beta(\alpha+\beta)}{(\alpha \beta)^3}=\frac{\left(\frac{-b}{a}\right)^3-3 \frac{c}{a}\left(-\frac{b}{a}\right)}{(c / a)^3}\)

= \(\frac{\frac{-b^3}{a^3}+\frac{3 b c}{a^2}}{c^3 / a^3}=\frac{\frac{-b^3+3 a b c}{a^3}}{c^3 / a^3}=\frac{3 a b c-b^3}{c^3}\)

Question 11. By determining, we are observing that two roots of the quadratic equation x²-7x+12= 0 are 3 and 4.

Question 2. The base of a triangle is 18m. more than two times its height, if the area of the triangle is 360 sq.m, then let us determine its height of it.

Solution: Let the height of the triangle is xm.

∴ Base of the triangle = (2x + 18)m.

According to the problem,

Area of the triangle = \(\frac{1}{2} x base x height\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} \text { base } \times \text { height }=360\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} \times x(2 x+18)=360\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} \times 2 x(2 x+18)=360\)

⇒ \(x^2+9 x-360=0\)

⇒ \(x^2+24 x-15 x-360=0\)

⇒ x(x + 24) – 15(x + 24) = 0

∴ (x + 24)(x – 15) = 0

When x + 24 = 0

∴ x = -24 [it is not possible]

& when x – 15 = 0

∴ x = 15

∴ Height of the triangle is 15 m.

Question 3. If 5 times of a positive whole number is less by 3 than twice of its square, then let us determine the number.

Solution: Let the required number is x.

According to the problem,

\(2 x^2-3=5 x\)

⇒ \(2 x^2-5 x-3=0\)

⇒ \(2 x^2-6 x+x-3=0\)

⇒ 2x(x – 3) + 1(x – 3) = 0

⇒ (x – 3)(2x + 1) = 0

When x – 3 = 0

∴ x = 3

& when 2x + 1 = 0

∴ x = -1/2 (Not possible)

∴ The required number = 3.

Question 4. The distance between two places is 200 km; the time taken by a motor car from one place to another is less by 2 hrs. than the time taken by a Jeep car. If the speed of the motor car is 5 km/hr. more than the speed of the Jeep car, then by calculating let us write the speed of the motor car.

Solution: Let the speed of the car = \(\frac{\mathrm{x} \mathrm{km}}{\mathrm{hr}}\)

& the speed of the Jeep = \(\frac{(x+5) \mathrm{km}}{\mathrm{hr}}\)

To go 200 km the car takes = \(\frac{200}{x}\) hr and the Jeep takes = \(\frac{200}{x+5} h r\)

∴ \(\frac{200}{x}-\frac{200}{x+5}=2\)

⇒ \(200\left(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+5}\right)=2\)

⇒ \(\frac{x+5-x}{x(x+5)}=\frac{2}{200}\)

⇒ \(x^2+5 x=500\)

⇒ \(x^2+5 x-500=0\)

⇒ \(x^2+25 x-20 x-500=0\)

⇒ x(x + 25) – 20(x + 25) = 0

∴ (x + 25)(x – 20) = 0

Either x + 25 = 0

∴ x = -25 (Not possible)

or, x – 20 = 0

∴ x = 20

∴ Speed of the car = 20 km/hr.

Question 5. The area of Amita’s rectangular land is 2000 sq.m and the perimeter of it is 180 m. By calculating, let us write the length and breadth of the Amita’s land.

Solution: Let the length of the land xm.

∴ Breadth of the land = \(\frac{2000}{x} \mathrm{~m}\)

Perimeter = 180 m.

∴ \(2\left(x+\frac{2000}{x}\right)=180\)

⇒ \(x+\frac{2000}{x}=90\)

⇒ \(x^2+2000=90 x\)

⇒ \(x^2-90 x+2000=0\)

⇒ \(x^2-(50+40) x+2000=0\)

⇒ \(x^2-50 x-40 x+2000=0\)

⇒ x(x – 50) – 40(x – 50) = 0

∴ (x – 50)(x – 40) = 0

∴ Either x – 50 = 0

∴ x = 50

or, x – 40 = 0

∴ x = 40

∴ Length of the land = 50 m.

& Breadth of the land = \(\frac{2000}{50}=40 \mathrm{~m} \text {. }\)

Question 6. The tens digit of a two-digit number is less by 3 than the unit digit. If the product of the two digits is subtracted from the number, the result is 15, let us write the unit digit of the number by calculation.

Solution: In a two digit number the digit in the unit place is (x + 3).

∴ The digit in the tenth place is x & the number is 10x + (x + 3).

According to the problem,

10x + (x + 3) – x(x + 3) = 15

⇒ \(11 x+3-x^2-3 x-15=0\)

⇒ \(-x^2+8 x-12=0\)

⇒ \(x^2-8 x+12=0\)

⇒ \(x^2-6 x-2 x+12=0\)

⇒ x(x – 6) – 2(x – 6) = 0

⇒ (x – 6)(x – 2) = 0

When x – 6 = 0

∴ x = 6

& when x – 2 = 0

∴ x = 2

∴ the digit in unit place 6 + 3 = 9 or 2 + 3 = 5.

Question 7. There are two pipes in the water reservoir of our school. Two pipes together take 11 1/9 minutes to fill the reservoir. If the two pipes are opened separately, then one pipe would take 5 minutes more time than the other pipe. Let us write by calculating the time taken to fill the reservoir separately by each of the pipes.

Solution: Let the two pipes take x min & (x + 5)min.

To fill the tank respectively.

∴ In 1 min the two pipes fill the portion of the tank \(\frac{1}{x}\) part & \(\frac{1}{x+5}\) part, respectively

∴ In 1 min they together fill \(\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+5}\right)\) part of the tank.

∴ \(\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+5}\right) \times 11 \frac{1}{9}=1\)

⇒ \(\frac{x+5+x}{x(x+5)} \times \frac{100}{9}=1\)

⇒ (2x + 5) x 100 = x(x + 5) x 9

⇒ \(9 x^2+45 x=200 x+500\)

⇒ \(9 x^2+45 x-200 x-500=0\)

⇒ \(9 x^2-155 x-500=0\)

⇒ \(9 x^2-180 x+25 x-500=0\)

⇒ 9x(x – 20) + 25(x – 20) = 0

∴ (x – 20)(9x + 25) = 0

Either x – 20 = 0

∴ x = 20

or, 9x + 25 = 0

∴ x = –\(\frac{25}{9}\) (Not possible)

∴ 1st pipe takes 20 min & the 2nd pipe take 25 min.

Question 8. Porna and Pijush together complete a work in 4 days. If they work separately, then the time taken by Porna would be 6 days more than the time taken by Pijush. Let us write by calculating the time taken by Porna alone to complete the work.

Solution: Let Porna alone can do a work in x days &

Pijush alone can do the work in (x + 6) days.

∴ In 1 day, Parna can do \(\frac{1}{x}\) if the work &

Piyush can do \(\frac{1}{x+6}\) par of the work

∴ They together can do in 1 day

\(\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+6}\right) \text { part }=\frac{x+6+x}{x(x+6)}=\frac{2 x+6}{x(x+6)}\)

∴ They together can do in 4 days = \(\frac{2 x+6}{x(x+6)} \times 4\)

According to the problem,

\(\frac{4(2 x+6)}{x^2+6 x}=1\)

⇒ \(x^2+6 x-8 x-24=0\)

⇒ \(x^2+6 x=8 x+24\)

⇒ \(x^2-2 x-24=0\)

⇒ (x – 6)(x + 4) = 0

Either x – 6 = 0

∴ x = 6

Or, x + 4 = 0

∴ x = -4

∴ Porna alone can do the work in 6 days.

Question 9. If the price of 1 dozen pens is reduced by Rs. 6, then 3 more pens will be purchased in Rs. 30. Before the reduction of price, let us calculate the price of 1 dozen pen.

Solution: Let previous price of 1 dozen pen is Rs. x.

∴ Now price of 1 dozen pen is Rs. (x – 6)

Previously in Rs. 30 no. of pens available = \(\frac{1}{x} \times 30 \text { dozen }=\frac{30}{x} \text { dozen }\)

At present in Rs. 30, no. of pen available = \(\frac{1}{x-6} \times 30 \text { dozen }=\frac{30}{x-6} \text { dozen }\)

According to the problem,

\(\frac{30}{x-6}-\frac{30}{x}=\frac{3}{12} \quad\left[3=\frac{3}{12} \text { dozen }\right]\)

⇒ \(30\left(\frac{x-x+6}{x(x-6)}\right)=\frac{1}{4}\)

⇒ \(x^2-6 x=720\)

⇒ \(x^2-6 x-720=0\)

⇒ \(x^2-30 x+24 x-720=0\)

⇒ x(x – 30) + 24(x – 30) = 0

∴ (x – 30)(x + 24) = 0

Either x – 30 = 0

or, x + 24 = 0

∴ x = 30

Previous price of 1 dozen pens is Rs. 30.

Chapter 1 Quadratic Equations In One Variable Exercise 1.3 Short Answers

Question 1. Let us find the value of an if one root of equation x² + ax + 3 = 0 is 1.

Solution:

If x² + ax + 3 = 0 has one root = 1,

the other root is 12+ a.1 +3 = 0

⇒ a+ 4 = 0

⇒  a = -4

Question 2. Let us find the value of the other root if one root of the equation x² – (2 + b) x + 6 = 0 is 2.

Solution: If one root of x² – (2 + b) x + 6 = 0 is 2, the other root

⇒ (2)²– (2+b) 2+6= 0

⇒ 4-4-2b+6=0

⇒ 2b = 6

⇒ b = 3

The other root = 3

Question 3. Let us write the value of the other root if one root of equation 2x² + kx + 4 = 0 is 2.

Solution: \(2 x^2+k x+4=0\)

As one root of this equation is 2,

then \(2(2)^2+k \cdot 2+4=0\)

or 8 + 2k + 4 = 0

∴ k = -6

∴ Equation is \(2 x^2-6 x+4=0\)

or, \(x^2-3 x+2=0\)

or, \(x^2-2 x-x+2=0\)

or, x(x – 2) – 1(x – 2) = 0

(x – 2)(x – 1) = 0

∴ One root is 2 and the other root = 1.

Question 4. Let us write the equation if the difference between a proper fraction and its reciprocal is 9/20.

Solution: Let the proper fraction is x & its reciprocal =  \(\frac{1}{x}\).

or, 25a – 5b + 35 = 0

or, 5a – b + 7 = 0     ……(1)

Again, when the other root is -7

∴ a(-7)² + (-7)b + 35 = 0

or, 49a – 7b + 35 = 0

or, 7a – b + 5 = 0              …..(2)

by solving equations (1) & (2) we get, a = 1 & b = 12.

Question 1. Let us check whether the two obtained values of x, that is, x = 10 and x = -7 satisfy the quadratic equation (1) or not.

Solution: x² – 3x – 70 = 0

when x = 10

(10)² – 3(10) – 70 = 0

100 – 30 – 70 = 0

& when x = -7,

(-7)² – 3(-7) -70 + 49 + 21 + 70 = 0

∴ x = 10 & x = -7

satisfy the equation x² – 3x – 70 = 0.

Question 2. The product of two consecutive positive odd numbers is 143. Let me construct the equation and write the two odd numbers by applying Sreedhar Acharyya’s formula. 

Solution: Let two consecutive positive numbers are (2x – 1) & (2x + 1).

∴ (2x – 1)(2x + 1) = 143

⇒ 4x² – 1 = 143

⇒ 4x² – 144 = 0

⇒ 4(x² – 36) = 0

⇒ (x – 6)(x + 6) = 0

∴ x = 6 & x = -6 (Not possible)

∴ The numbers are (2x – 1) = 12 – 1 = 11 & (2x + 1) = 12 + 1 = 13.

Question 3. If the following quadratic equations have real roots, then let us determine their roots by applying Sreedhar Acharyya’s formula.

1. 1- x = 2x²

Solution: 1 – x = 2x²

or 2x² + x – 1 = 0

Comparing this equation with ax² + bx + c = 0,

∴ a = 2; b = 1; c = -1

∴ \(b^2-4 a c=(1)^2-4.2(-1)=1+8=9>0\)

∴ The roots of the equation are real.

The roots are = \(\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{(1)^2-4.2(1)}}{2 \times 1}=\frac{-1 \pm 3}{2} x=\frac{-1+3}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1\)

& \(x=\frac{-1-3}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2\)

∴ the roots are (1, -2).

2. 2x² – 9x+7=0

Solution: 2×2² – 9x + 7 = 0

Comparing this equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, a = 2; b = -9; c = 7

\(\mathrm{b}^2-4 \mathrm{ac}=(-9)^2-4 \cdot 2 \cdot 7=81-56=25>0\)

∴ The roots of the equation are real.

The roots are = \(\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(-9)^2-4.2 .7}}{2 x^2}=\frac{9 \pm \sqrt{25}}{4}=\frac{9 \pm 5}{4}\)

∴ \(x=\frac{9+5}{4}=\frac{14}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\)

& \(x=\frac{9-5}{4}=\frac{4}{4}=1\)

3. x² – (√2+1) x + √2 =0

Solution: \(\mathbf{x}^2-(\sqrt{2}+1) \mathbf{x}+\sqrt{2}=\mathbf{0}\)

Comparing this equation with ax² + bx + c = 0

∴ a = 1; \(b=-(\sqrt{2}+1) ; c=\sqrt{2}\)

∴ \(b^2-4 a c=\{-(\sqrt{2}+1)\}^2-4 \cdot 1 \cdot \sqrt{2}=2+1+2 \sqrt{2}-4 \sqrt{2}=3-2 \sqrt{2}>0\)

∴ The roots of the equation are real.

The roots are = \(\frac{(\sqrt{2}+1) \pm \sqrt{3-2 \sqrt{2}}}{2.1}=\frac{(\sqrt{2}+1) \pm(\sqrt{2}-1)}{2}\)

\(x=\frac{\sqrt{2}+1+\sqrt{2}-1}{2}=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{2}=\sqrt{2}\)

& \(x=\frac{\sqrt{2}+1-\sqrt{2}+1}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1\)

∴ The roots are √2 & 1.

⇒ \(x+\frac{x^2}{100}=336\)

⇒ \(100 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{x}^2=33600\)

⇒ \(x^2+100 x-33600=0\)

5. If the velocity of the stream is 2 km/hr, then the time taken by Ratanmajhi to cover 21 km downstream and upstream is 10 hours.

Solution: Let the speed of the boat in still water is x km/hr.

∴ Speed of the boat with the current is (x + 2)km/hr and speed of the boat against the current is (x – 2)km/hr.

According to the problem,

⇒ \(\frac{21}{x+2}+\frac{21}{x-2}=10\)

⇒ \(\frac{21(x-2)+21(x+2)}{(x+2)(x-2)}=10\)

⇒ 21x – 42 + 21x + 42 = 10(x + 2)(x – 2)

⇒ \(42 x=10\left(x^2-4\right)\)

⇒ \(21 x=5\left(x^2-4\right)\)

⇒ \(-5 x^2+21 x+20=0\)

∴ \(5 x^2-21 x-20=0\) is the required equation.

Solution: Let the width of the path = xm.

According to the problem,

⇒ (45 + 2x) x (40 + 2x) – 45 x 40 = 450

⇒ \(1800 + 90x + 80x + 4 x^2 – 1800 = 450\)

⇒ \(4 x^2+170 x-450=0\)

⇒ \(2 x^2+85 x-225=0\) is the required equation.

Question 9. Let me write by calculating, for what value of k, 1 will be a root of the quadratic equation x² + kx+3=0.

Solution: As one root of the equation \(x^2+k x+3=0\) is 1

⇒ 1 + k + 3 = 0

∴ k + 4 = 0

∴ k = -4

Question 10. I solve and write the two roots of the quadratic equation \(\frac{a}{a x-1}+\frac{b}{b x-1}=a+b,\left[x \neq \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}\right]\)

Solution: \(\frac{a}{a x-1}-a+\frac{b}{b x-1}-b=0\)

or, \(\frac{a-a^2 x+a}{a x-1}+\frac{b-b^2 x+b}{b x-1}=0\)

or, \(\left(2 a-a^2 x\right)(b x-1)+\left(2 b-b^2 x\right) \cdot(a x-1)=0\)

or, \(2 a b x-a^2 b x^2-2 a+a^2 x+2 a b x-a b^2 x^2-2 b+b^2 x=0\)

or, \(-a^2 b x^2-a b^2 x^2+2 a b x+a^2 x+2 a b x+b^2 x-(2 a+2 b)=0\)

or, \(-\left(a^2 b+a b^2\right) x+\left(a^2+b^2+4 a b\right) x-(2 a+2 b)=0\)

or, \(\left(a^2 b+a b^2\right) x^2-\left\{(a+b)^2+2 a b\right\} x+(2 a+2 b)=0\)

or, \(a b(a+b) x^2-\left\{(a+b)^2+2 a b\right\} x+2(a+b)=0\)

or, \(a b(a+b) x^2-(a+b)^2 x-2 a b x+2(a+b)=0\)

or, (a + b)x{abx – (a + b)} – 2{abx – (a + b)}

or, {(a + b)x – 2}{abx – (a + b)} = 0

Either (a + b)x – 2 = 0

∴ \(x=\frac{2}{a+b}\)

or, abx – (a + b) = 0

∴ \(x=\frac{a+b}{a b}\)

⇒ \(\frac{(x+3)^2+(x-3)^2}{(x+3)(x-3)}=\frac{5}{2}\)

⇒ \(\left(x^2+6 x+9+x^2-6 x+9\right) \times 2=5\left(x^2-9\right)\)

⇒ \(x^2+36=5 x^2-45\)

⇒ \(5 x^2-4 x^2-45-36=0\)

⇒ \(x^2-81=0\)

⇒ \((x)^2-(9)^2=0\)

⇒ (x + 9)(x – 9) = 0

∴ Either x + 9 = 0

∴ x = -9

or, x – 9 = 0

∴ x = 9.

Solution: Principal (P) = Rs. 960

Rate(r) = \(8 \frac{1}{3} \%=\frac{25}{3} \%\)

Time (t) = 1 yrs m = \(1 \frac{3}{12}=1 \frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4} \mathrm{yrs}\)

Interest (I) = \(\frac{\text { prt }}{100}=\text { Rs. } \frac{960 \times \frac{25}{3} \times \frac{5}{4}}{100}=\frac{80 \times 25 \times 5}{100}\)

= Rs. 100 Amount = Principal + Interest

= Rs. (960 + 100) = Rs. 1060.

Question 4. Utpalbabu took a loan of Rs. 3200 for 2 yrs. from a Cooperative bank for the cultivation of his land at the rate of simple interest per annum. Let us write by calculating the money she has deposited in the bank.

Solution: Here, Principal (P) = Rs. 3200

Rate (r) = 6%

Time (t) = 2 yrs.

Interest (I) = \(\frac{\text { Prt }}{100}=\text { Rs. } \frac{3200 \times 6 \times 2}{100}=\text { Rs. } 384\)

∴ Amount = Rs. (3200 + 384) = Rs. 3584.

Solution: Let Principal = Rs. x

Rate = 60%

Interest = Rs. x

Time = ?

Time = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Rate }}\)

= \(\frac{x \times 100}{x \times 6}=16 \frac{2}{3} y r s .\)

∴ Time = \(16 \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{yrs}\)

Question 8. Mannan Miyan observed, after 6 years of taking a loan of some money, that the interest to be paid had become Th of its principal. Let us determine the rate of simple interest in percent per annum.

Solution: Let the principal = Rs. x

Interest = Rs. \(\frac{3 x}{8}\)

Time = 6 yrs, Rate = ?

Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}=\frac{\frac{3}{8} x \times 100}{x \times 6}\)

= \(\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{100}{6}=\frac{25}{4}=6 \frac{1}{4}\)

∴ Rate = \(6 \frac{1}{4}\) yrs.

Question 9. An agricultural Cooperative society gives agricultural loans to its members at the rate of simple interest per annum. But interest is to be given at the rate of simple interest per annum for a loan taken from the bank. If a farmer being a member of the Cooperative society takes a loan of Rs.  from it instead of taking a loan from the bank, then let us write, by calculating, the money to be saved as interest per annum.

Solution: Principal = Rs. 5,000

Time = 1yr

Rate (1st case) = 4%

Rate (2nd case) = 7.4%

∴ saving in interest for 1 yr = (7.4 – 4) = 3.4%

∴ He saved Rs. 3.4 on Rs. 100.

i.e., on Rs. 100, Interest saved = Rs. 3.4

∴ On Rs. 5000 Interest saved = \(\frac{3.4}{100} \times 5000\)

= Rs. 34 x 5

= Rs. 170.

Question 10. If the interest of Rs. 292 in 1 day is 1 paise, then let us write by calculating the rate of simple interest in percent per annum.

Solution: Interest on Rs. 292 for 1 day = 5P

Interest on Rs 1 for 1 day = \(\frac{5}{292}\) P

Interest on Rs. 100 for 365 days = \(\frac{5}{292} \times 100 \times 365 \mathrm{P}\)

= Rs. \(\frac{25 \times 25}{100}\) = Rs. \(\frac{25}{4}\)

∴ Rate of interest = \(\frac{25}{4}=6 \frac{1}{4} \%\)

“WBBSE Class 10 Simple Interest Exercise 2.2 solutions explained”

Question 11. Let us write by calculating the number of yrs. for which the interest of Rs. 600 at the rate of simple interest in percent per annum.

Solution: Principal (P) = Rs. 600

Rate (r) = 8%

Interest (I) = Rs. 168

Time = ?

Time = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Rate }}\)

= \(\frac{168 \times 100}{600 \times 8}=\frac{21}{6}=\frac{7}{2} \mathrm{yrs}=3 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{yrs}\)

∴ Time = \(3 \frac{1}{2}\) yrs.

Question 12. If I get Rs. 1200 return as the amount (principal along with interest) by depositing Rs. 800 in the bank at the rate of simple interest of per annum, then let us write by calculating the time for which the money was deposited in the bank.

Solution: Amount = Rs. 120,

Principal = Rs. 800

Interest = Rs. (1200 – 800) = Rs. 400

Rate = 10%

Time = ?

∴ \(\text { Time }=\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Rate }}\)

= \(\frac{400 \times 100}{800 \times 10}=5 y r s\)

∴ Time = 5 yrs.

Question 13. At the same rate of simple interest in percent per annum, if a principal becomes the amount of Ps. 7100 in 7 yrs and of Ps. 6200 in 4 yrs, let us determine the principal and rate of simple interest in percent per annum.

Solution: Principal + Interest for 7 yrs = Rs. 7100

Principal + Interest for 4 yrs = Rs. 6200

∴ Interest for 3 yrs = Rs. 900

Interest for 1 yrs = Rs. \(\frac{900}{3}\) = Rs. 300

Interest for 4 yrs interest = Rs. 300 x 4 = Rs. 1200

Principal + 4 yrs interest = Rs. 6200 + 4 yrs interest = Rs. 1200

∴ Principal = Rs. 5,000

Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}=\frac{1200 \times 100}{5000 \times 4}=6\)

∴ Rate = 6% & Principal = Rs. 5000.

Question 14. Amal Roy deposits Ra. 2000 in the bank and Pashupati Ghosh deposits Ra. 2000 in the post office at the same time. After 3 yrs. they get the return amounts Rs. 2360 and Let us write by calculating the ratio of the rate of simple interest in percent per annum in the bank and that in the post office.

Solution: In case of Amal Roy:

Principal = Rs. 2000

Interest = Rs. (2360 – 2000) = Rs. 360

Time = 3 yrs.

Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}\)

Rate = \(\frac{360 \times 100}{2000 \times 3}=6\)

In case of Pasipati chosh:

Principal = Rs. 2000

Interest = Rs. (2480 – 2000) = Rs. 480

Time = 3 years

Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}\)

= \(\frac{480 \times 100}{2000 \times 3}=8\)

∴ Ratio of Rate = 6 : 8 = 3 : 4.

Question 15. A weaver cooperative society takes a loan of Ris, 15,000 at the time of buying a power loom. After 5 yrs society has to repay As. 22125 for recovering the loan. Let us determine the rate of simple interest in percent per annum.

Solution: Principal = Rs 15,000

Interest = Rs. (22125 – 15,000) = Rs. 7125

Time = 5 years

Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}\)

= \(\frac{7125 \times 100}{15000 \times 5}\)

= \(\frac{1425}{150}=\frac{95}{10}=9.5\)

∴ Rate = 9.5%.

Question 16. Aslamehacha got Ra. 10,000 when he retired from his service. Ho deported some of that money to the post office and got Ra. 5400 in total per year as interest. If the rates of simple interest per annum in the bank and in the post office are and 64 respectively, then let us write by calculating the money he had deposited in the bank and post office.

Solution: Let he deposited Rs. x at the rate of 5% for 1 year in bank and he deposited Rs. (10,000 – x) at the rate of 6% for 1 year in post office. 1st case of Bank:

Interest = \(\frac{\text { Principal } \times \text { rate } \times \text { time }}{100}\)

= Rs. \(\frac{x \times 5 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs } \frac{5 x}{100}\)

2nd case (In Post office)

Interest = \(\frac{\text { Principal } \times \text { rate } \times \text { time }}{100}\)

= \(\frac{{Rs}(100000-x) \times 6 \times 1}{100}\)

= \(\frac{{Rs}(100000-x) \times 6}{100}\)

According to the problem,

\(\frac{5 x}{100}+\frac{(10000-x) 6}{100}=5400\)

= \(\frac{5 x+600000-6 x}{100}=6400\)

= -x + 600000 = 540000

60,0000 – 540000 = x

60000 = x

∴ He deposited Rs. 60,000in bank & Rs. {100000 – 60000} = Fis. 40,000 in post office.

Question 17. Relhadidi deposited Rs. 10,000 of her savings in two separate banks at the same time. The rate of simple interest per annum is of in one bank and that of  In another bank; after 2 yrs, If she gets Rs. 1260 in total as interest, then let us write by calculating. the money she deposited separately in each of the two banks.

Solution: Let she deposited F = x in the 1st bank at the rate of 6% as (10000 – x) in the 2nd bank at the rate of 7% for 2 yrs.

According to the problem,

Rs. \(\left[\frac{\mathrm{x} \times 6 \times 2}{100}+\frac{(10000-\mathrm{x}) \times 7 \times 2}{100}\right]\) = Rs. 1280

or, \(\frac{12 \mathrm{x}}{100}+\frac{14(10000-\mathrm{x})}{100}=1260\)

or, \(\frac{12 x+140000-14 x}{100}=1280\)

or, -2x + 140000 = 1280 x 100

or, 140000 – 128000 = 2x

∴ \(x=\frac{12000}{2}=6000\)

∴ She deposited Rs. 6000 in the 18th bank & Rs. 4000 in the 2nd bark.

Question 18. A bank gives simple interest per annum. In that bank, Dipubabu deposits Rs. 15,000 at the beginning of the year, but withdraws Rs. 3000 after 3 months, and then again, after 3 months he deposits Rs. 8000 . Let us determine the amount (principal along with interest) Dipubabu will get at the end of the year.

Solution: Dipu babu’s total interest for 1 year

= \(\left[\frac{15000 \times 5}{100} \times \frac{3}{12}+\frac{12000 \times 5}{100} \times \frac{3}{12}+\frac{20000 \times 5}{100} \times \frac{6}{12}\right]\)

= Rs. \(\left[\frac{150 \times 5}{4}+150+500\right]\)

= Rs. [187.50 + 150 + 500] = Rs. 837.50

His amount will be Rs. [20000 + 837.50] = Rs. 20837.50.

Question 19. Rahamatchacha takes a loan amount of Rs.  from a bank for constructing a building at the rate of simple interest of per annum. After of taking the loan, he rents the house at the rate of Rs. 5200 per month. Let us determine the number of yrs. he would take to repay his loan along with interest from the income of the house rent.

Solution: Let after x years he will repayment the amount.

Interest of Rs. 240000 at 12% for x years

= \(\frac{240000 \times 12 \times x}{100}=28800 x\)

Amount = Principal + Interest

= Rs. (240000 + 28800x)

Now, house rent for 1 year (12 m) = Rs. 5200 x 12

∴ House rent for (x – 1) yrs = Rs. 5200 x 12 x (x – 1)

= 62400(x – 1)

According to the problem,

62400(x – 1) = 240000 + 28800x

or, 62400x – 62400 = 240000 + 28800x

or, 62400x – 28800x = 240000 + 62400

or, 33600x = 302400

∴ \(x=\frac{302400}{33600}=9\)

∴ After 9 years he will repay his loan with interest.

Question 20. Rothinbabu deposits the money for each of his two daughters in such a way that when the age of each of his daughters will be 18 yrs., each one will get Rs, . The rate of simple interest per annum in the bank is and the present ages of his daughters are 13 yrs. and 8 yrs. respectively. Let us determine the money he had deposited separately in the bank for each of his daughters.

Solution: Let Rathin babu deposited Rs. x for his 1st daughter (13 yrs old) and he deposited Rs. y for his 2nd daughter (8 yrs old).

When his 1st daughter will be 18 yrs, old i.e., after (18 – 13) = 5 years

her amount = \(x+\frac{x \times 5 \times 10}{100}=120000\)

or, \(\frac{10 \mathrm{x} \times 5 \mathrm{x}}{10}=120000\)

or, 15x = 120000 x 10

or, \(x=\frac{1200000}{15}=80,000\)

When his 2nd daughter will be 18 years old, i.e., after (18 – 8) = 5 years

her amount = \(y+\frac{y \times 10 \times 10}{100}=2 y\)

∴ 2y = 120000

y = 60000

Question 1. A man who gives a loan is called

Answer: The man who gives a loan is called a money lender.

Question 2. The amount of Rs. 2p in t yrs. at the rate of simple interest per annum is Rs. (2p+————-)

Solution: Interest = \(\frac{2 \mathrm{p} \times \mathrm{t} \times \frac{\mathrm{r}}{2}}{100}=\frac{\mathrm{prt}}{100}\)

Amount = \(2 \mathrm{p}+\frac{\mathrm{prt}}{100}\)

Question 3. The ratio of the principal and the amount (principal along with interest) in 1 yr. is 8: 9; the rate of simple interest per annum is —————

Solution: Let the principal = Rs. 8x & the amount = Rs. 9x.

∴ Interest = Rs. x

∴ Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}\)

= \(\frac{x \times 100}{8 x \times 1}=\frac{25}{2}\)

∴ Rate = \(12 \frac{1}{2} \%\)

Question 1. Let us write the number of yrs. for which a principal becomes twice its amount having the rate of simple interest of 6 1/4% /9  per annum.

Solution: Let the principal = Rs. 100

∴ Amount = Rs. 200 and Interest = Rs. (200 – 100) = Rs. 100

Rate = \(6 \frac{1}{4} \%=\frac{25}{4} \%\)

∴ Time = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Rate }}\)

= \(\frac{100 \times 100}{100 \times \frac{25}{4}}=\frac{100 \times 4}{25}=16 \text { years }\)

∴ Required time = 16 years.

Question 2. The rate of simple interest per annum reduces by 4% to 3 3/4 %, and for this, Amal bab’s annual income decreases by  s. 60, Let us determine Amal babu’s principal.

Solution: On Rs. 100, income (Interest) decreased from Rs 4 to Rs. \(3 \frac{3}{4}\)

= Rs \(4-3 \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\) in 1 year

∴ His income decreases by Rs, \(\frac{1}{4}\) in 1 year on Rs. 100.

∴ His income decreases by Rs. 40 in 1 year an Rs. \(\frac{100}{1 / 4} \mathrm{n} 60\)

= Rs. 100 x 4 x 60 = Rs. 24000.

∴ Amal babu’s capital = Rs. 24000.

Question 3. What is the rate of simple interest per annum, when the interest of the same money for 4 yrs. will be 8/25 part of its principal – let us determine it.

Solution: Let the principal = Rs. x

∴ Interest = \(\text { PB. } \frac{B}{25} x\)

Time = 4 years

Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}=\frac{\frac{8}{25} \times \times \times 100}{x \times 4}=8\)

∴ Rate = 4%.

Question 4. What is the rate of simple interest per annum, when the interest of some money is in 10 yrs. will be 2/5  part of its amount (principal along with interea1) – Let us determine it.

Solution: Let the amount = Rs. x

∴ Interest = \(\frac{2}{5} \cdot \times \text { Rs. } x=\text { Rs. } \frac{2 x}{5}\)

∴ Principal = \(\text { Rs. }\left(x-\frac{2 x}{5}\right)={Rs} \cdot \frac{5 x-2 x}{5}={Rs} \cdot \frac{3 x}{5}\)

Time = 10 years

∴ Rate = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Principal } \times \text { Time }}\)

= \(\frac{\frac{2 x}{5} \times 100}{\frac{3 x}{5} \times 10}\)

= \(\frac{20 \times 2}{2 \times 3}=\frac{20}{3}=6 \frac{2}{3}\)

∴ Rate = \(6 \frac{2}{3}\)

Question 5. Let us determine the money for which monthly interest is Re. 1 having the rate of simple interest of 5% per annum.

Solution: Here let principal = Rs. x.

Rate = 5%

Interest = Rs 1

∴ Principal = \(\frac{\text { Interest } \times 100}{\text { Rate } \times \text { Time }}\)

= \(\frac{1 \times 100}{5 \times \frac{1}{12}}\)

= Rs. 20 x 12

= 240
