Let the length of the side of the chess board be x cm. Then
Area of 64 squares = (x - 4)2
(x - 4)2 = 64 x 6.25
⇒ x2-8x+ 16=400
⇒X2- 8x - 384 =0
⇒ X2- 24x + 16x - 384 = 0
⇒(x - 24)(x + 16) = 0
⇒ x=24 cm.
6.
Let the numbers be ∝, β
Sum of the roots = ∝ + β = 15 ...(1)
\(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } +\frac { 1 }{ \beta } =\frac { 3 }{ 10 } \quad \quad \quad ...(2)\)
\(\\ \frac { +\alpha }{ \alpha \beta } =\frac { 3 }{ 10 } \)
10(∝+ β)= 3∝β ....(3)
30∝β=10x15=150
Products of the roots =∝β=50 ....(4)
∴ From (1) & (4), we have
x2-15x+50=0
(x-10)(x-5)=0⇒x=10,5
7.
Let the three numbers be x, y, z
From the given data we get the following equations,
3x + y + 2z = 5 .....(1)
x + 3z - 3y = 2 .....(2)
2x + 3y - z = 1 .....(3)

Substituting y = 2 in (5), -14 + 7x = 7 gives, z = 3
Substituting y = 2 and z = 3 in (1), 3x + 2 + 6 = 5 we get x = -1
Therefore, x = –1, y = 2, z = 3.
8.
Considering, \(\frac { x }{ 2 } -1=\frac { y }{ 6 } +1\)
\(\frac { x }{ 2 } -\frac { y }{ 6 } \) = 1 + 1 \(\frac { 6x-2y }{ 12 } \) = 2 we get, 3x - y = 12.... (1)
Considering \(\frac { x }{ 2 } -1=\frac { z }{ 7 } +2\)
\(\frac { x }{ 2 } -\frac { z }{ 7 } \) = 1 + 2 gives, \(\frac { 7x-2z }{ 14 } \) = 3 we get, 7x - 2z = 42... (2)
Also, from \(\frac { y }{ 3 } +\frac { z }{ 2 } \) = 13 \(\frac { 2y+3z }{ 6 } \) = 13 we get, 2y + 3z = 78 .(3)
Eliminating z from (2) and (3)

Substituting x = 10 in (1), 30 - y = 12 we get, y = 18
Substituting x = 10 in (2), 70 - 2x = 42 then, z = 14
Therefore, x = 10, y = 18, z = 14.
9.
f(x) = x2+px-4 = 0
If f(-4) = (-4)2+p(-4) = 16-4p-4 = 0
12-4p = 0
-4p = -12
p = 3.
x2 + 3x + q = 0 has equal roots,
∆ = b2 - 4ac = 0
32-4x1xq = 0
9-4q = 0
\(\\ \\ \\ \\ q=\frac { 9 }{ 4 } \)
p = 3, \(\\ \\ \\ \\ q=\frac { 9 }{ 4 } \)
10.
Let f(x) = 2x4 + 13x3 + 27x2 + 23x + 7,
g(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1,
h(x) = x2 + 2x + 1
which is the least degree polynomial.
Now Dividing f (x) by h(x)
Since the Remainder is zero, h (x) is the GCD of f (x) and h (x)
Now, dividing g (x) by h (x)
Remainder is zero, h (x) is the GCD of g (x) and h (x)
h (x) divides both f(x) and g (x) completely
GCD = x2 + 2x + 1
11.
D= b2-4ac
⇒ 4(ac + bd)2 - 4(a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)
⇒ 4[(ac + bd)2 - (a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)]
⇒ 4(a2c2 + b2d2 + 2acbd - a2c2b2c2 - a2d2 - b2d2]
⇒ 4[2acbd - a2d2 - b2c2]
⇒ 4[a2d2 + b2c2 - 2adbc]
⇒-4[ ad - bc]2
We have ad≠ bc
∴ ad- be of 0
⇒ (ad - bc)2 > 0
⇒ 4(ad - bc)2 < 0 ⇒ D < 0
Hence the given equation has no real roots.
12.
9x2-9(a+b)x+(2a2+5ab+2b2)=0
Comparing this with ax2 + bx + c = O.
a =9
b = -9(a + b)
c = (2a2 + 5ab + 2b2)
∴ ∆=B2-4AC
⇒ 81(a+b)2-36(2a2+5ab+2b2)
⇒ 9a2 + 9b2 - 18ab
⇒ 9(a - b)2> 0
∴ the roots are real and given by
\(\beta =\frac { -B-\sqrt { D } }{ 2A } =\frac { 9(a+b)+3(a-b) }{ 18 } \)
\(=\frac { 12a+6b }{ 18 } =\frac { 2a+b }{ 3 } \)
\(\beta =\frac { -B-\sqrt { D } }{ 2A } =\frac { 9(a+b)+3(a-b) }{ 18 } \)
\(=\frac { 6a+12b }{ 18 } =\frac { a+2b }{ 3 } \)
13.
x + y + z = 6 ....(1)
2x + 3y + 4z = 20 ...(2)
3x + 2y + 5z = 22 ....(3)
Sub. z = 3 in (5) ⇒ y - 2(3) =-4
y=2
Sub. y = 2, z = 3 in (1), we get
x+2+3=6
x=1
x= 1,y = 2, z = 3
14.
General form of the quadratic equation when the roots are given is
x2 - (sum of the roots)x + product of the roots = 0
x2 - 9x + 14 = 0
15.
Step 1 : Draw the graph of y = x2 + 4x + 3 by preparing the table of values as below
| x | -4 | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| y | 3 | 0 | -1 | 0 | 3 | 8 | 15 |
Step 2 : To solve x2 + x + 1 = 0, subtract x2 + x + 1 = 0 from y = x2 + 4x + 3 that is,

The equation represent a straight line. Draw the graph of y = 3x + 2 forming the table of values as below
| x | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| y | -4 | -1 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
Step 3 : Observe that the graph of y = 3x + 2 does not intersect or touch the graph of the parabola y = x2 + 4x + 3.

Thus x2 + x + 1 = 0 has no real roots.
