Take MCQ Maths Test

1.
If the equation \((1+m^{ 2 })(x^{ 2 }+2mcx+(c^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 }(1+m^{ 2 })\) has equal roots prove that c2=a2(1+m2)
2.
The sum of squares of two consecutive even numbers is 340. Find the numbers.
3.
One side of a rectangle exceeds its other side by 2cm.If its area is 195 \(cm^{2}\). determine the sides of the rectangle.
4.
The perimeter of right-angled triangle is five times the length of its shortest side. The numerical value of the area of the triangle is 15 times the numerical value of the length of the shortest side. Find the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.
5.
Solve for x \({x-2\over x-3}+{x-4\over x-5}={10\over 3}, x\ne3,5\)
6.
In a flight of 2800km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. Its average speed is reduced by 100km/h and time increased by 30 minutes. Find the original duration of the flight.
7.
If twice the area of a smaller square is subtracted from the area of the larger square.the result is \(14cm^{ 2 }\) However, if twice the area of the larger square is added to three times the area of the smaller square. the result is \(203cm^{ 2 }\) .Find the sides of the two square.
8.
Solve for x: \(x^2+5x-(a^2+a-6)=0\)
9.
If \(\alpha, \beta\) are roots of the equation 2x2-6x+a=0 and \(2\alpha+5\beta=12\) find the value of a.
1.
D=b2-4ac=0
Here a=1+m2,b=2mc,c=(c2-a2)=0
(2mc)2-4(1+m2)(c2-a2)=0
\(\Rightarrow 4m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-4(1+m^{ 2 })(c^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 })\)
\(\Rightarrow m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-4(1+m^{ 2 })(c^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 })=0\)
\(\Rightarrow m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-(c^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-m^{ 2 }a^{ 2 })=0\)
\(\Rightarrow m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-(c^{ 2 }+a^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }a^{ 2 })=0\)
\(\Rightarrow -c^{ 2 }+a^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }a^{ 2 }=0\)
c2=a2(1+m2)
Hence proved.
2.
Let the numbers be x, x + 2
(x)2+(x+2)2=340
x2+x2+4+4x=340
\(\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }+4x-3369=0\)
On dividing by 2, we get
x2+2x-168=0
\(\Rightarrow (x+14)(x-12)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x=12\)
The numbers are, 12, (12 + 2) i.e., 12, 14
3.
13 cm, 15 cm
4.
Let shortest side be x unit! and other side be units Hypotenuse = z units
ATQ x+y+z = 5x
\(\Rightarrow \) y+z=4x
\(\Rightarrow \) z=4x-y
Also, area of the rectangle = 15x
\(\Rightarrow \) \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } x.y=15x\Rightarrow y=30\) ...(i)
Using Pythagoras Theorem, we get
z2=x2+y2
\(\Rightarrow \) (4x-y)2 = x2+y2
\(\Rightarrow \) (4x - 30)2 =x2+(30)2 [using (i)]
\(\Rightarrow 16x^{ 2 }-240x+900=x^{ 2 }+900\)
\(\Rightarrow 15x^{ 2 }-240x=0\Rightarrow 15x(x-16)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \) x=0 (rejecting) or x=16
\(\therefore x=16\)
\(\therefore \) length of the shortest side = 16 units
length of other side = 30 units
length of hypotenuse z = 4 x 16 - 30
= 34 units
5.
Consider the equation \(\Rightarrow \frac { x-2 }{ x-3 } +\frac { x-4 }{ x-5 } =\frac { 10 }{ 3 } \)
\(\Rightarrow 1+\frac { 1 }{ x-3 } +1+\frac { 1 }{ x-5 } =\frac { 10 }{ 3 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ x-3 } +\frac { 1 }{ x-5 } =\frac { 10 }{ 3 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { x-5+x-3 }{ (x-3)(x-5) } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 2x-8 }{ x^{ 2 }-8x+15 } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
\(\Rightarrow 4x^{ 2 }-32x+60=6x-24\)
\(\Rightarrow 4x^{ 2 }-38x+84=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }-19x+42=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }-12x-7x+42=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }-12x-7x+42=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 2x(x-6)-7(x-6)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow (2x-7)(x-6)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \) Either 2x-7 =0 x-6=0
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac { 7 }{ 2 } ,6\)
6.
Let original duration of the flight be x hours.
Distance = 2800 km
\(\therefore \) Usual method = \(\frac { 2800 }{ x } km/h\)
When time = \(\left( x+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) \) hrs
The new speed = \(\frac { 2800 }{ x+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } } =\frac { 5600 }{ 2x+1 } \)
ATQ \(\frac { 2800 }{ x } -\frac { 5600 }{ 2x+1 } =100\quad \Rightarrow \frac { 2800(2x+1)-5600x }{ (2x+1)x } =100\)
\(\Rightarrow 2800=100(2x^{ 2 }+x)\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }+x-28=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }+8x-7x-28=0\quad \Rightarrow 2x(x+4)-7(x+4)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow (x+4)(2x-7)=0\quad \Rightarrow x=-4\) (rejected) or x=\(\frac { 7 }{ 2 } =3\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(\therefore \) Original duration = \(3\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \) hours
7.
Side of larger square =8cm; Side of smaller square =5cm.
8.
x2+5x-(a2+a-6)=0
D=(5)2-4x1x[-(a2+a-6)]
=25+4a2+4a-24
=4a2+4a+1=(2a+1)2
\(\therefore x=\frac { -b\pm \sqrt { D } }{ 2a } =\frac { -5\pm \sqrt { (2a+1) } ^{ 2 } }{ 2\times 1 } \)
\(=\frac { -5\pm (2a+1) }{ 2 } =\frac { -4+2a }{ 2 } ,\frac { -6-2a }{ 2 } \)
=-2+a,-3-a
9.
Given quadratic equation is 2x2-6x+a=0
\(\alpha ,\beta \) are roots of the equation
\(\alpha +\beta =\frac { -b }{ a } \Rightarrow \alpha +\beta =-\frac { -6 }{ 2 } \Rightarrow \alpha +\beta =3\Rightarrow \alpha =3-\beta \)............... (i)
Also \(2\alpha +5\beta =12\)
\(\Rightarrow 2\left( 3-\beta \right) +5=12\)
\(\Rightarrow 6-2\beta +5\beta =12\Rightarrow 3\beta =6\Rightarrow \beta =2\)
where \(\beta =2\), eq.(i) becomes \(\alpha =3-2=1\)
Now,product of roots = \(\frac { c }{ a } \)
\(\Rightarrow \alpha .\beta =\frac { a }{ 2 } \Rightarrow 1\times 2=\frac { a }{ 2 } \Rightarrow a=4\)
