Question 11 Mark
Is it possible to design a rectangular mango grove whose length is twice its breadth and the area is $800$ $m^2$?
If so, find its length and breadth.
AnswerLet the breadth of the rectangle be x metres
and the length is $2x$ metres.
So, area of rectangle is $800\ sq.m$.
$ (x)(2 x)=800 $
$ 2 x^2=800 $
$ x^2=400 $
$ x= \pm 20$
But breadth of rectangle cannot be negative, so $x = 20$
and yes, it is possible to design it.
So, Breadth is $20\ m$ and length is $40\ m$.

Find the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation $3 x ^ { 2 } - 4 \sqrt { 3 } x + 4 = 0$. If the real roots exist. Find it.
AnswerThe given quadratic equation is
$3 x ^ { 2 } - 4 \sqrt { 3 } x + 4 = 0$
Here, $a = 3,$ $b = - 4 \sqrt { 3 }$$, c = 4$
$\therefore$ discriminant $= b^2- 4ac$
$= ( - 4 \sqrt { 3 } ) ^ { 2 } - 4 ( 3 ) ( 4 )$
$= 48 - 48 = 0$
Hence, the given quadratic equation
has two equal real roots.
The roots are $= - \frac { b } { 2 a } , - \frac { b } { 2 a }$
$\text { i.e. } - \frac { ( - 4 \sqrt { 3 } ) } { 2 \times 3 } , - \frac { ( - 4 \sqrt { 3 } ) } { 2 \times 3 } , \text { i.e. } \frac { 2 } { \sqrt { 3 } } , \frac { 2 } { \sqrt { 3 } }$

Find the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation $2 x^2-3 x+5=0$. If the real roots exist. Find it.
AnswerThe given equation is
$2 x^2-3 x+5=0$
Here, $a=2, b=-3, c=5$
Therefore, discriminant $=b^2-4 a c$
$ =(-3)^2-4(2)(5) $
$ =9-40=-31<0$
So, the given equation has no real roots.

Find two numbers whose sum is $27$ and product is $182$.
AnswerLet the two numbers be $x, 27 - x.$
According to the question $x (27 - x) =182$
$\implies 27x - x^2-182 = 0$
$\implies x^2- 27x + 182 = 0$
$\implies x^2- 13x -14x + 182 = 0$
$\implies x (x-13) - 14 (x-13) = 0$
$\implies (x-13) (x-14) = 0$ Either $x-13 = 0 or x - 14 = 0$
$\implies x = 13, 14$
Hence, the required numbers are $13, 14$

John and Jivanti together have $45$ marbles. Both of them lost $5$ marbles each, and the product of the number of marbles they now have is $124$. We would like to find out how many marbles they had to start with. Represent situation mathematically (quadratic equation).
AnswerLet the number of John’s marbles be $x.$
Therefore, number of Jivanti’s marble $= 45 − x$
After losing $5$ marbles,
Number of John’s marbles $= x − 5$
Number of Jivanti’s marbles $= 45 − x − 5 = 40 − x$
Given that the product of their marbles is 124.
$\therefore$ $(x – 5) (40 – x) = 124$
$\Rightarrow x^2– 45x +324 = 0$

Find the roots of the quadratic equation $100x^2- 20x + 1 = 0$ by factorization.
AnswerWe have, $100x^2- 20x +1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 100x^2-10x -10x +1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 10x (10x -1) - 1 (10x -1) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (10x -1) (10x -1) = 0$
Either $10x -1 = 0$ or $10x -1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow$ x = ${1\over10},\,{1\over10}$
$\therefore x={1\over10}$ are the repeated roots.

Find the roots of the quadratic equation $2x^2-x+{1 \over8} = 0$ by factorization.
AnswerWe have, $2x^2-x+{1\over8}=0$
$\implies 2x^2-{1\over2}x-{1\over2}x+{1\over8}=0$
$\implies x(2x-{1\over2}) - {1\over4}(2x-{1\over2})=0$
$\implies (2x-{1\over2}) (x-{1\over4})=0$
$Either \,(2x-{1\over2})\, =0\,or\, (x-{1\over4})=0$
$\implies x = {1\over4},\,{1\over4}$
So, this root is repeated root.
$\therefore $ both the roots are ${1\over4}$.

Find the roots of the quadratic equation $\sqrt { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + 7 x + 5 \sqrt { 2 } = 0$ by factorization.
AnswerWe have, $\sqrt { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + 7 x + 5 \sqrt { 2 } = 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + 2 x + 5 x + 5 \sqrt { 2 } = 0$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt { 2 } x ( x + \sqrt { 2 } ) + 5 ( x + \sqrt { 2 } ) = 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad ( x + \sqrt { 2 } ) ( \sqrt { 2 } x + 5 ) = 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad x = - \sqrt { 2 }$ and $\frac{-5}{\sqrt{2}}$

Represent the situation in the form of the quadratic equation:
Rohan's mother is $26$ years older than him. The product of their ages $3$ years from now will be $360$. We would like to find Rohan's present age.
AnswerLet Rohan's present age be x years.
Then, his mother's age is $(x + 26)$ years.
Rohan's age after $3$ years $= (x + 3)$ years.
After $3$ years the age of Rohan's mother $= (x + 26 + 3)$ years $= (x + 29)$ years.
According to the question,
$ (x + 3)(x + 29) = 360.$
$\Rightarrow x^2+ 32x - 273 = 0.$
This is the required quadratic equation.

Represent the situation in the form of the quadratic equation:
The area of a rectangular plot is $528\ m^2$. The length of the plot (in metres) is one more than twice its breadth. We need to find the length and breadth of the plot.
AnswerLet the breadth of the plot be $'x'\ m$
$\therefore$ Length $= (2x + 1) m$
Now, Area of the plot $= 528\ m^2$
$\Rightarrow$ L $\times$B $= 528\ m^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $(2x+1) \times x=528 $
$\Rightarrow 2x^2+x-528=0$
This is the required quadratic equation.
