Question 8. If the length of three sides of a triangle is (m2-n2) unit, 2mn unit, and (m2+n2) unit. then Write the name of the triangle.
Solution:

Given:-

The first side of the triangle = (m2-n2) unit.

The second side of the triangle = 2mn unit

The third Side of the triangle = m2+n2 unit

m2+n2 is the largest side.

m2+n2 will always be greater than the other two sides, given that m and n are positive integers.

Apply Pythagoras theorem

(m2 + n2)2 = (m2-n2)2 + (2mn)2 + (m2+n2)2

m4+2m2n2+n4 = m4 – 2m2n2 + n4 + 4m2n2

m4+2m2n2+n4 = m4 +n4+2m2n2

(m2+n2)2 = (m2+n2)2

The sum of the squares of the two smaller sides equals the square of the largest side, of a triangle. satisfies the Pythagoreus theorem.

A triangle with sides (m2-n2) unit, 2mm unit, and (m2+n2) is a right angled triangle

2. \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{8}\)

Let the positive mean proportion of \(\frac{1}{2} {and}\frac{1}{8}\) is ‘X’.

∴ \(\frac{1}{2}: x:: x: \frac{1}{8}\)

⇒ \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{x}=\frac{x}{\frac{1}{8}}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{8}=x^2\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{16}=x^2\)

x= \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{16}}\)

x= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Question 13. The ratio of boys and girls in a school with 612 students is 5:4 which will be the new ratio of 12 new boys admitted.
Solution:

Total number of students = 612

The ratio of boys and girls is 5:4

5x+4x = 612

9x = 612

x = \(\frac{612}{9}\)

x = 68

∴ 5x = 5×68

5x = 340

4x = 4×68

4x = 272

with 12 new boys, the number of boys becomes.

340+12= 352

∴ The new ratio = \(\frac{352}{272}\)

The GCD OF 352 and 272 is 16.

So we divide both by 16.

⇒ \(\frac{352 \div 16}{272 \div 16}=\frac{22}{17}\)

∴ The new ratio of boys and girls is 22:17

Question 14. The Sum of the ages of A and B is 95 years. 5 years ago the ratio of their ages were 10:7. Find the ratio of their ages 5 years hence.
Solution:

Let’s denote the current ages of A and B as ‘A’ and ‘B’ respectively.

A+B = 95 ⇒ A = 95-B

Five years ago their ages were A-5, B-5

∴ \(\frac{A-5}{B-5}=10: 7\)

⇒ \(\frac{(95-B)-5}{B-5}=\frac{10}{7}\)

⇒ \(\frac{95-B-5}{B-5}=\frac{10}{7}\)

⇒ \(\frac{90-B}{B-5}=\frac{10}{7}\)

7×90-7×B = 10B-50

630-7B = 10B-50

630+50 = 10B+7B

680 = 17B

⇒ \(\frac{680}{17}\)

B = 40

5 years Hence the ages will be A+ 5 = 55+5=60,

B+5= 40 +5=45

The ratio of their ages:

⇒ \(\frac{A+5}{B+5}=\frac{60}{45}=\frac{4}{3}\)

The ratio of the ages 5year Hence will be 4:3

b= \(\frac{(x+8)(x-8)}{x+8}\)

Since x>8, x+8=0 and we can cancel x+8 in the numerator and denominator

b=2-8

The breadth of the rectangle is x-8 meters.

Question 5. The cost of cultivation of a 45m long piece of land is ₹200. If the breadth of land were less the cost would have been ₹150 calculate the breadth of the land.
Solution:

Let’s denote the breadth of the piece of land as ‘b’ meters

The length of the land is 45 meters.

The area of the land with breadth b is 45 × b sq.m.

The cost of cultivation is ₹200

If the breadth is reduced by 9m

breadth b-9 meters

The new Area is 45×(b-9)

The cost of cultivation is ₹150.

Cost per square meter = \(\frac{200}{45 b}\)

Reduced Breadth

Cost per square meter = \(\frac{150}{45(b-9)}\)

⇒ \(\frac{200}{45 b}=\frac{150}{45(b-9)}\)

⇒ \(\frac{200}{b}=\frac{150}{b-q}\)

⇒ 200(b-9) = b(150)

⇒ 2006-1800 = 150b.

Subtract 150b from both sides.

50b -1800 = 0

506 =1800

b = \(\frac{1800}{50}\)

b = 36

The breadth of the piece of land is 36 meters.

Question 6. A square plot of land of side 26m. A path 2m wide runs all around it from outside. Find the area of the path.
Solution:

Given

The Square Plot land side is 26m.

1. Calculate the Area of the large square.

The path runs all around it and is 2 meters wide.

The side length of the larger square is

26m+ 2m+2m = 30m

The area of the larger square is:

Arealarge sequence = 30mx30m = 900m2

2. Calculate the Area of the original square. Path

AreaOrigina sequence = 26m × 26m = 676m2

3. Calculate the Area of the path.

AreaPath = Arealarge sequence – AreaOriginal sequence

= 900m2-676m2 = 224m2

∴ The area of the path around the square plot of land is 224 Sq.m

Question 7. The length of the rectangle floor of a room is thrice of its breadth. It cost ₹4761 to cover the whole floor with a carpet. If one sq.m of carpet costs ₹3 then find the perimeter of the room.
Solution:

Given:

The cost to cover the whole floor ₹4761

Cost per square meter = ₹3m2

Area of the Floor = \(=\frac{\text { Total cost }}{\text { cost per square meter }}\)

= \(\frac{4761}{3}\)

= 1587Sqm2

Let the breadth of the room be ‘b’ meters.

Since the length is thrice the breadth, the length ‘l’ is 3b meters.

Area = l×b

= 3b×b

= 3b2

The area of the Floor is 1587Sq.m2

3b2 = 1587

b2 = \(\)

= 529

Class 7 Maths Chapter 7 Notes

Question 8. \(b^2=\frac{1587}{3}=529\)

b = \(\sqrt{529}\) = 23m

b = 23m

l is three times the breadth:-

l = 3b

= 3×23

1=69m

The perimeter p of a rectangle is given by

P = 2 × (l+b)

P = 2 × (69+23)

= 2 × 92

= 184m

∴ The perimeter of the room is 184 meters.

Question 9. A room 24 meters long and 12 meters high, costs 48960 For whitewashing its walls at 700 per square meter. Find the breadth of the room.
Solution:

Let the breadth of the room be m

Length of the room = 24m, and 12m high

The area of the room is (24×x) sq. m ⇒ 24x sq.m

Cost per square meter = ₹60

Total cost = ₹48960

Total Area of walls = Total cost/cost per square meter

Total Area of walls = \(\frac{48960}{60}\)

=816 sq.m.

Two longer walls each have an area of 24m × 12m

Two Shorter walls each have an area of bm × 12m

Total Area of the four walls is = 2× (24×12)+2×(b×12)

= 2×288+2×12b

576+246

The total area of the walls whitewashed is 816 sqm

576 + 246 = 816

24b = 816-576

24b = 240 = \(\frac{240}{24}\)

b ⇒ b=10

∴ The breadth of the room is 10 meters.

Class 7 Arithmetic Formulas

Question 10. what biggest size of square stones may be used to pave the floor of a room 20m long and 15m wide? Also, find the number of stones needed.
Solution:

Given the length of the room = 20m

width of room = 15m

prime factorization.

20= 2×2×5

15=3×5

The GCD of 20, 15 is 5.

So, the largest square Stone that can be used has a side length of 5 meters.

Area of room = 20m x 15m = 300 Sqm.

Area of one square stone = 5m×5m= 25 sq.m

Number of Stones = \(=\frac{\text { Total Area }}{\text { Area of one Stone }}\)

= \(\frac{300}{25}\)

= 12

The biggest size of square stones that may be used to pave the Floor is 5 meters.

The number of such stones needed to cover the floor is 12.

Speed remains constant, and time and distance are in direct proportion.

28:16:: (x+275): (X +140).

⇒ \(\frac{28}{16}=\frac{x+275}{x+140}\)

⇒ 28(x+140) = 16(2+275)

⇒  28(x+140) = 16(x+275)

⇒ 28x+ 28×140 = 16x+16×275

⇒ 28x+3920 = 16x +4400

⇒ 28x-16X = 4400-3920

⇒ 12x = 480

x = \(\frac{480}{12}\)

x = 40 meters.

∴ The length of the train is 40 meters

In 28 sec the train travels (40+275) =315m

In 1 Sec the train travels \(\frac{315}{28} \mathrm{~m}\)

In 1hr or 3600 sec the train travels = \(\frac{315 \times 3600}{28}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1134,000}{28}\)

Question 10. Two trains of equal length running in opposite directions, pass a man standing by a side of railway line in 18 secs and 12 secs respectively. At what time will the two trains cross each other?
Solution:

Let’s denote the length of each train by L meters.

Let the speed of the first train be V1 meters per second

The speed of the second train be V2 meters per second

First train

L = V1 x 18 ⇒ V1 = \(\frac{L}{18}\)

second train

L = V2 x 12 ⇒ V2 = \(\frac{L}{12}\)

Relative speed is the sum of their speeds.

The relative speed Vr is given by

Vr = V1+V2

Vr = \(\frac{L}{18}+\frac{4}{12}\)

⇒ \(\frac{2 L+3 L}{36}\)

⇒ \(\frac{5 L}{36}\)

The total length to be covered when the two trains cross each other is the sum of their lengths

Total length = L + L = 2L

The time taken to cross each other is the total length divided by the relative speed:

T \(=\frac{\text { Total length }}{\text { Relative speed }}\)

⇒ \(\frac{2 L}{\frac{5 L}{36}}\)

⇒ \(2 L \times \frac{36}{5 L}\)

⇒ \(\frac{24}{\frac{5 L}{36}}\)

⇒ \(2 L \times \frac{36}{5L}\)

⇒ \(\frac{36 \times 2}{5}\)

= 14.4 Sec

∴ The two trains cross each other at 14.4 Sec

A = \(\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{35}{48}\right) D\)

A = \(\frac{3 \times 35}{4 \times 48} D\)

A= \(\frac{105}{192} D\)

⇒ \(\frac{A}{D}=\frac{105}{192} D\)

⇒ \(\frac{A}{D}=\frac{35}{64}\)

∴ \(A: D=\frac{35}{64}\)

We have

A = \(\frac{105}{192} D\)

B = \(\frac{35}{48} D\)

C = \(\frac{7}{8} D\)

and D = D

Convert these into a common base with D = 192

∴ A = \(\frac{105}{192} \times 192\) =105

B = \(\frac{35}{48} \times 192=35 \times 4\) = 140

C = \(\frac{7}{8} \times 192=7 \times 24\) = 168

D = 192

Question 5. If the product of two numbers is 150 and their quotient is \(\frac{3}{2}\) then find the numbers.
Solution:

Let’s denote the two numbers as x and y.

Given

  1. The product of two numbers is 150:xy = 150
  2. The quotient of the two numbers is \(\frac{3}{2}\):\(\frac{x}{y}\)= \(\frac{3}{2}\)

From the second condition. \(\frac{x}{y}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

x = \(\frac{3}{2}\) y

Now Substitute the ‘x’ value in 1-condition.

xy= 150

(\(\frac{3}{2}\)y)y = 150

⇒ \(\frac{3}{2}\)y² = 150

y² = 150 x \(\frac{2}{3}\)

y² = 100

y = √100

y = 10

Now that we have found y = 10, we can find x.

x = \(\frac{3}{2}\) x 10

x = 15

So the two numbers are x = 15 and y = 10.

Question 6. If the sum of two numbers is so and their HCF is 16 then Find the numbers.
Solution:

Let’s denote the two numbers as x and y.

Given

  1. The sum of the two numbers is 80: x+y=80.
  2. Their highest Common Factor (HCF) is 16.

Let’s express x and y as

x = 16a

y = 16b

where a and b are integers.

Now we substitute these expressions into the equation for their sum:

16a + 16b = 80

16(a+b)=80

(a+b) = \(\frac{80}{16}\)

a+b = 5

since a+b=5, and a and b are integers the

Possible values for a and b are a = 1, and b=4 (or) a=2, and b=3.

So the numbers are 16×1 = 16, and 16×4 = 64,08 16×2=32, and 16×3=48.

∴ The two numbers are 16 and 64 (or) 32 and 48.

Question 7. Find the square roots of the following numbers:

1. 11025
Solution:

To Find the square root use prime factorization.

First, let’s see if it’s a perfect square by trying

Some divisors.

11025 ÷ 25 = 441

So, we have;

11025 = 25X441

441 = 21×21

25 = 5×5

Thus

11025 = 5² x 21²

Take the square root: \(\sqrt{11025}=\sqrt{(5 \times 21)^2}\)

= \(5 \times 21\)

∴ \(\sqrt{11025}\) = 105

Question 13. Write the ratio of the three angles of an isosceles Yright-angled triangle.
Solution:

Given the total sum of angles in any triangle is 180°

Let’s denote the two equal angles as ‘X’

The equation for the sum of angles in the triangle is

90+X+X = 180°

2x+90° = 180°

2x = 180-90°

2x = 90°

x = 90°/2

X = 45°

∴ The three angles in the triangle are 90°, 45° and 45°

The ratios of these angles are 90:45:45

Dividing each term by 45 is 2:1:1

∴ The ratio of the three angles in a right-angled

Isosceles triangle is 1:2:1

Question 14. The ratio of textbooks and story books in a School library is 3:5. If a number of textbooks is 864, then find the number of story books.

Let ‘d’ be the Common difference then we have:

175-d = 220-d = 325-d.

Subtracting each pair of numbers we get,

220-175 = 45

325-220 = 105

325 175 = 150

Now, we need to find the greatest common divisor of these differences: 45, 105, and 150.

GCD(45,105,150) = 15

∴ The greatest number that divides 175,220, and 325 to keep equal remainder in all cases is 15.

4. The Sum of the present ages of the father and his son is 62 years. If the age of the father is 2 years more than three times of his son’s age then the Son’s age will be.

  1. 20 years
  2. 30 years
  3. 15 years
  4. 17 year.

Solution:

Let’s define the son’s age as – ‘x’

According to the given information.

Father’s age is 2 Years more than three times of son’s age,

So the father’s age would be 3x+2

Now, the sum of their ages is 62

x+(3x+2)=62

2+3x+2 = 62

4x+2=62

4x =62-2

x = \(\frac{60}{4}\)

x = 15

∴ The Son’s age is 15 years

Option (3) 15 years is the correct answer.

Question 2. Write true or False:

1. The Solution of the equation \(\frac{x}{3}\)-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)= \(\frac{x}{6}\) + 4 is x =-3
Solution:

⇒ \(\frac{x}{3}-1 \frac{1}{2} x=\frac{x}{6}+4\)

⇒ \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{3 x}{2}=\frac{x}{6}+\frac{4}{1}\)

⇒ \(\frac{2 x-9 x}{6}=\frac{x+24}{6}\)

Denominators are equal Numaninators are equalized

2x-9x = x+24

-7x = x+24

-7x-x = 24

-8x = 24

x = \(\frac{-24}{8}\)

∴ \(\frac{x}{3}-1 \frac{1}{2} x=\frac{x}{6}+4\) is -3

True

2. If \(\frac{x-1}{5}+\frac{x-2}{5}+\frac{x-3}{5}=1\) then the Value of x is 10.
Solution:

⇒ \(\frac{x-1}{5}+\frac{x-2}{5}+\frac{x-3}{5}=1\)

⇒ \(\frac{x-1+x-2+x-3}{5}=1\)

3x-6 = 5

3x = 5+6

3x = 11

x = \(\frac{11}{3}\)

∴ The value of x is 10

False.

3. If \(\frac{a x-b}{c}\) and \(\frac{b x-a}{d}\) are equal then the value of ‘x’ is 1.
Solution:

⇒ \(\frac{a x-b}{c}\) = \(\frac{b x-a}{d}\)

d(ax-b) = c(bx-a)

ada-bd = bcx-ac

Now let’s isolate the terms with ‘x’ on one side.

adx – bcx = bd – ac

x(ad-bc) = bd-ac

х = \(\frac{b d-a c}{a d-b c}\)

∴ The value of ‘x’ is 1 i.e., False

Question 4. If \(\frac{x}{6}\) + 3(x+1) = \(\frac{x}{2}\) – 1 then find the value of ‘x’
Solution:

⇒ \(\frac{x}{6}\) + 3(x+1) = \(\frac{x}{2}\) – 1

⇒ \(\frac{x+(3 x+3)}{6}=\frac{x-2}{2}\)

⇒ \(\frac{x+18 x+18}{6}=\frac{x-2}{2}\)

⇒ \(\frac{19 x+18}{6}=\frac{x-2}{2}\)

2(19x+18)=6(x-2)

38x+36 = 6x-12

38x-6x = -36-12

32x = -48

x = \(\frac{48}{32}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

x = 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\)

∴ The value of the x = 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 5. If \(\frac{2 x}{7}+\frac{x-1}{5}=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{7}\) then find the value of ‘x’.
Solution:

⇒ \(\frac{2 x}{7}+\frac{x-1}{5}=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{7}\)

⇒ \(\frac{10 x+7 x-7}{35}=\frac{7 x+3 x}{21}\)

⇒ \(\frac{17 x-7}{35}=\frac{10 x}{21}\)

21(17x-7)=35(10x)

357x – 147 = 350x

357x-350x = 147

7x = 147

х = \(\frac{147}{7}\)

∴ x = 21

Solution:

Given, \(\frac{1}{2}\)(x-2)+ \(\frac{1}{3}\)(x-3) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)(x-4) + \(\frac{1}{5}\)(x-5) + 23

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} x-1+\frac{1}{3} x-1=\frac{1}{4} x-1+\frac{1}{5} x-1+23\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{3} x-2=\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{1}{5} x+23-2\)

⇒ \(\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\right) x-2=\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}\right) x+21\)

⇒ \(\left(\frac{3}{6}+\frac{2}{6}\right) x-2=\left(\frac{5}{20}+\frac{4}{20}\right) x+21\)

⇒ \(\frac{5}{6} x-2 \quad=\frac{9}{20} x+21\)

multiplying every term by the least common denominator

120\(\left(\frac{5}{6} x-2\right)=120\left(\frac{9}{20} x+21\right)\)

120 \(\times \frac{5}{6} x-120 \times 2=120 \times \frac{9}{20} x+120 \times 21\)

100x – 240 = 54x + 2520 (isolate x)

100x – 54x = 2520 + 240.

Solution:

⇒ \(\frac{b}{a x}-\frac{a}{b x}=\frac{a}{b}-\frac{b}{a}\)

⇒ \(\frac{b^2-a^2}{a b x}=\frac{a^2-b^2}{a b}\)

The right side of the equation by multiplying both the Numerator and the denominator by ‘x’

⇒ \(\frac{b^2-a^2}{a b x}=\frac{\left(a^2-b^2\right) x}{a b x}\)

⇒ \(b^2-a^2=a^2 x-b^2 x\)

⇒ \(b^2-a^2=\left(a^2-b^2\right) x\)

⇒ \(x =\frac{b^2-a^2}{a^2-b^2}\)

⇒ \(x =\frac{(b+a)(b-a)}{(a+b)(a-b)}\)

x = \(-\left\{\frac{b+a}{a+b}\right\}\)

x =-1

∴ The Solution of the equation is x =-1

4. \(\frac{x+1}{2}+\frac{x+2}{3}+\frac{x+3}{4}=0\)
Solution:

⇒ \(\frac{6 x+6+4 x+8+3 x+9}{12}=0\)

6x+4x+3x+6+8+9 = 0

13x+23 = 0

13x = -23

Solution:

⇒ \(\left(\frac{2 x}{45}-\frac{2}{15}\right)-\left(\frac{10}{4}-\frac{5 x}{40}\right)=\frac{3 x}{20}-\frac{12}{5}\)

⇒ \(\left(\frac{2 x-6}{45}\right)-\left(\frac{100-5 x}{40}\right)=\left(\frac{3 x-48}{20}\right)\)

⇒ \(\frac{8(2 x-6)-9(100-5 x)}{360}=\frac{3 x-48}{20}\)

⇒ \(\frac{16 x-48-900+45 x}{360}=\frac{3 x-48}{20}\)

⇒ \(\frac{61 x-948}{360}=\frac{3 x-48}{20}\)

⇒ (61x-948)20 = (3x-48)360

⇒ 1220x – 18960 = 1080x-17280

⇒ 1220x-1080x = 18960-17280

⇒ 140x = 1680

∴ n + (n+2) + (n+4)=60

n+n+2+n+4 = 60

30+6 = 60

3n = 60-6

3n = 54

n = \(\frac{54}{3}\)

n = 18

∴ n+2 = 18+2

= 20

∴ n+4 = 18+4

∴ The three consecutive even numbers are 18, 20, 22.

Question 9. If a train maintains an average speed of 48km/hr it arrives at its destination Punctually, if however, the average speed is 36 km/hr it arrives 10 minutes late. Find the length of the Journey.
Solution:

Speed (S1) = 48km/hr, t1 = T

Speed (S2) = 36km/hr, t2 = T+\(\frac{10}{6}\)

we know that Speed x time

Distance = Speed x time

when the distances are the same

48 x T = \(36 \times\left(T+\frac{10}{60}\right)\)

48T = \(36 \times\left(T+\frac{1}{6}\right)\)

48T = \(36 T+\frac{366}{66}\)

48T-36T = 6

12T = 6

T = \(\frac{6}{12}\)

T = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Substitute in the above value

48 X T = Distance.

48x – \(\frac{1}{2}\)

24 = Distance

D = 24km/hr

Question 10. The sum of the present ages of a father and his Son is 80 years, 10 years ago the ratio of their ages was 5:1 Find their present ages.
Solution:

Let’s denote:

F is the present age of the father.

S is the present age of the son.

F+S = 80

10years ago the father’s age was F-10 and the son’s age was S-10.

The ratio of their ages 10 years ago was 5:1

⇒ \(\frac{F-10}{S-10}=\frac{5}{1}\)

(F-10) = 5(S-10)

F-10 = 5S -50

F = 80-S

(80-5)-10 = 5s-50

70-s = 5s-50

70+50 = 5s+s

120 = 6s

120 = 6s

s = \(\frac{120}{6}\)

s = 20

Now, F = 80-S

F = 80-20

F = 60

The father and son’s present ages are 60 and 20.

∴ Let the number be ‘x’

5x-3x = 40

2x = 40

x = \(\frac{40}{2}\)

x = 20

Substitute the value of ‘x’ in the above equation.

Question 12. The denominator of a fraction exceeds its numerator by 7. If 3 is added to both its numerator and denominator the fraction becomes \(\frac{8}{15}\). Find the original fraction.
Solution:

Let’s denote the original numerator of the Fraction as’n! and the original denominator is ‘d’.

the denominator exceeds its numerator by 7 so we have:

d = n+7 → 1

n = d-7

when 3 is added to both the numerator and denominator the Fraction becomes \(\frac{8}{15}\), so we have

⇒ \(\frac{n+3}{d+3}=\frac{8}{15}\)

⇒ \(\frac{d-7+3}{d-3}=\frac{8}{15}\)

⇒ \(\frac{d-4}{d-3}=\frac{8}{15}\)

15d – 60 = 8d+24

15d-8d = 60+24

7d = 84

d = \(\frac{84}{7}\)

d = 12

Now, Finding the value of n

n = d-7 = 12-7

n = 5

∴ The original Fraction is \(\frac{5}{12}\).

Question 13. The length of a rectangle is 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) times its breadth. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 200 meters, then find its area.
Solution:

Length of a rectangle(l) = 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) x b

⇒ \(\frac{3}{2}\) b

⇒ 2l = 3b

perimeter of rectangle 200m

P = 2(l+b)

= 2l+2b

= 3b+2b

200 = 5b

b = \(\frac{200}{5}\)

b = 40

l = \(\frac{3}{2}\) x b

= \(\frac{3}{2}\) x 40

l = 60

∴ Area of the rectangle (A) = l x b

= 60×40

sum of factors = –\(\frac{b}{a}\)

so for 2a3 – 3a2 + 5 = -(\(\frac{-3}{2}\)) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Now let’s substitute the sum back to the original equation

6a x \(\frac{3}{2}\) = 2a3 – 2a + 10

∴ The sum of factors of 12a4 – 18a2 + 30a is 2a3 – 2a + 10

∴ The option (1) 2a3 – 2a + 10 is correct answer

Question 4. If a2 – 7a + 12 = (a – 4) (a + p). then find the value of ‘P’
Solution:

a2 – 7a + 12 = (a – 4)(a + p)

⇒ a2 – 7a +12 = a(a + p) – 4(a + p)

⇒ a2 – 7a +12 = a2 + ap – 4a – 4P

⇒ a2 – 7a + 12 = a2 + a(p-4) – 4p

∴ -7a = a(p-4)

⇒ \(\frac{7a}{a}\) = p – 4

-7 = p – 4

-7 + 4 = p

p = -3

and

12 = -4p

p = \(\frac{123}{-4}\)

p = -3

∴ a2 – 7a + 12 = (a – 4)(a + p)

∴ p = -3

Question 5. The product of two expression is \(\left(\frac{81}{a^4}-\frac{b^4}{25}\right)\) if one expresion is \(\left(\frac{a}{a^2}-\frac{b^2}{5}\right)\) then Find the other expression.
Solution:

⇒ \(\left(\frac{81}{a^4}-\frac{b^4}{25}\right)\)

⇒ \(\left\{\left(\frac{a}{a^2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{b^2}{5}\right)^2\right\}\) (\(a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\))

⇒ \(\left(\frac{9}{a^2}+\frac{b^2}{5}\right),\left(\frac{a}{a^2}-\frac{b^2}{5}\right)\)

The other expression is \(\left(\frac{9}{a^2}+\frac{b^2}{5}\right)\)

Question 6. Find the value of ‘p’ in expression (x2-px-6) if one of the Factors is (x-3) Find also another factor.
Solution:

(x2 – px – 6)

given that one factor is (x – 3) = 0

x = 3 Substitute in the above equation.

((3)2 – p(3)-6)= 0

9 – 3p – 6 = 0

-3P = -9 + 6

-3p = -3

p = \(\frac{-3}{-3}\)

∴ p = 1

(x2 – px – 6) = 0

(x2 – (1)x – 6) = 0

x2 – x – 6 = 0

x2 + 2x – 3x – 6 = 0

x(x+2)-3(x+2)=0

∴ (x+2)=0, (x-3)=0

x = -2, x = 3

∴ The value of p is 1

The other factor is (x+2)=0

∴ x = -2, and x = 3

Question 7. Express \(\left(\frac{a}{b}-\frac{b}{a}\right)\) as a product of two expressions such that the sum of the expression is \(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\right)\)
Solution:

⇒ \(\left(\frac{a}{b}-\frac{b}{a}\right)\)

Some of the expression is \(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\right)\)

This can be be written as 1 + \(\frac{b}{a}\) x (\(\frac{a}{b}\) + 1)

Now let’s verify if the given expression can be factored as the product of two expressions whose sum is \(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\right)\):

⇒ \(\left(\frac{a}{b}-\frac{b}{a}\right)\)

= \(\frac{a^2-b^2}{a b}\)

= \(\frac{(a+b)(a-b)}{a b}\)

= \(\frac{a-b}{b} \times \frac{a+b}{a}\)

= \(\left(\frac{a}{b}-1\right)\left(1+\frac{b}{a}\right)\)

∴ So \(\left(\frac{a}{b}-\frac{b}{a}\right)\) can be expressed as the product of (\(\frac{a}{b}\)-1) and (1 + \(\frac{b}{a}\)), and their sum is \(\frac{a}{b}\) + \(\frac{b}{a}\)

Question 8. Find the sum of the Factors of the expression (3a2 – b2 – c2 – 2ab – 2bc – 2ca)

⇒ 3 + 3 + a + a – b – b – c – 2a + b − 2 + b + c – 2 + c + a

⇒ 6 + 4а – 6

⇒ 4a.

∴ The sum of factors of the expression (3a2-b2-c2-2ab-2bc-2ca) = 4a

⇒ \(\left(\frac{a^2}{4}\right)^2-\left(\frac{9}{b^2}\right)^2\) (\(a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\))

⇒ \(\left(\frac{a^2}{4}+\frac{9}{b^2}\right)\left(\frac{a^2}{4}-\frac{9}{b^2}\right)\)

⇒ \(\left(\frac{a^2}{4}+\frac{9}{b^2}\right)\left(\left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{3}{b}\right)^2\right)\)

⇒ \(\left(\frac{a^2}{4}+\frac{9}{b^2}\right)\left(\frac{a}{2}+\frac{3}{b}\right)\left(\frac{a}{2}-\frac{3}{b}\right)\)

∴ \(\frac{a^4}{16}-\frac{81}{b^4}=\left(\frac{a^2}{4}+\frac{9}{b^2}\right)\left(\frac{a}{2}+\frac{3}{b}\right)\left(\frac{a}{2}-\frac{3}{b}\right)\)

2. \(a^4-5 a^2+6 a\)
Solution:

⇒ \(a^4-5 a^2+6 a\)

3. \(a^2-b^2+18 b-81\)
Solution:

⇒ \(a^2-b^2+18 b-81\)

⇒ \(a^2-\left(b^2-18 b+81\right)\)

⇒ \(a^2-(b-9)^2\)

(a+b-a)(a-b+9)

∴ \(a^2-b^2+18 b-81=(a+b-9)(a-b+9)\)

5. 18ax2 – 128a(x-2y)2
Solution:

18ax2 – 128a(x-2y)2

a[18x2 – 128(x-2y)2]

6. 18ax2 – 128a(x – 2y)2
Solution:

⇒ \(2 a \cdot 9 x^2-2 a \cdot 64(x-2 y)^2\)

⇒ \(2 a \cdot 9 x^2-2 a \cdot 64\left(x^2-4 x y+4 y^2\right)\)

⇒ \(2 a\left(9 x^2-64 x^2+256 x y-256 y^2\right)\)

⇒ \(2 a\left(9 x^2-64 x^2\right)+2 a\left(256 x y-256 y^2\right)\)

⇒ \(2 a\left(-55 x^2+256 x y-256 y^2\right)\)

⇒ \(2 a\left(-11 x^2+16 x y-16 y^2\right)\)

Now Let’s re-arrange the terms:

⇒ \(2 a\left(16 x y-11 x^2-16 y^2\right)\)

⇒ \(2 a\left(16 y(11 x-16 y)-11 x^2\right)\)

⇒ \(2 a(11 x-16 y)(16 y-5 x)\)

So, \(18 a x^2-128 a(x-2 y)^2\) can be simplified to \(2 a(11 x-6 y)(16 y-5 x)\).

7. \(81 a^4+643^4\)
Solution:

⇒ \(81 a^4+64 b^4\)

⇒ (3a+2b)(3a-2b)(3a+2b)(3a-2b)

⇒ (3a+2b)\(^2(3 a-2 b)^2\)

⇒ \(\left(9 a^2+12 a b+4 b^2\right)\left(9 a^2-12 a b+4 b^2\right)\)

And we can simplify the expression by distributing the terms.

⇒ \(\left(9 a^2+12 a b+8 b^2\right)\left(9 a^2-12 a b+8 b^2\right)\)

So, \(81 a^4+64 b^4 \mathrm{can}\) indeed be expressed as

∴ \(\left(9 a^2+12 a b+8 b^2\right)\left(9 a^2-12 a b+8 b^2\right)\)

8. 4(a+3b-c)2 – (4a-3b+2c)2
Solution:

Expand 4(a+3b-c)2

4(a+3b-c)(a+3b-c)

4(a2 + 3ab – ac + 3ab + 9b2 – 3bc – ac – 3bc + c2)

4(a2 + 6ab – 2ac + 9b2 – 6bc + c2)

Expand (4a – 3b + 2c)2

(4a-3b+2c) (4a-3b+2c)

⇒ (4a)2 -2(4a) (3b) + 2(4a)(2c) + (-3b)2 – 2(-3b)(2c)+ (2c)2

⇒ 16a2 – 24ab + 16ac + 9b2 + 12bc + 4c2

Now let’s substitute these expansions back into the original expression:

4(a+3b-c)2 – (4a-3b+2c)2

= 4(a2 + 6ab- 2ac + 9b2 – 6 bc + c2) – (16a2 – 24ab + 16ac + 9b2 + 12bc + 4c2)

= 4a2 + 24ab – 8ac + 36b2 – 24bc + 4c2 – 16ac + 24ab – 16ac – 9b2 – 12bc – 4c2

9. 4a2 – 16a2 + 24ab + 24ab – 8ac – 16ac + 36b2 – 9b2 – 24bc – 12bc + 4c2 – 4c2
Solution:

= -12a2 + 48ab – 24a + 27b2 – 36bc

Now we can factor out common terms from this expression

= -12(a2 – 4ab + 2ac – \(\frac{9}{4}\)b2 + 3bc)

Now observe that a2 – 4ab + 2ac – \(\frac{9}{4}\)b2 + \(\frac{3}{2}\)bc

Can be factored as (a – 2b + \(\frac{3}{2}\)c) (a – 2b + \(\frac{3}{4}\)c)

Thus the expression becomes:

= -12(a – 2b + \(\frac{3}{2}\)c) (a-2b+\(\frac{3}{4}\)c)

Now let’s factor this expression further.

= −12(2a – 4b + 3c)(a − 2b + \(\frac{3}{4}\)c)

= 3(-4a + 8b – 6c)(2a – 4b + \(\frac{3}{2}\)c)

= 3(2a – 4b + \(\frac{3}{2}\)c)(-4a + 8b – 6c)

= 3(2a – 4b + \(\frac{3}{2}\)c)(9b – 2a – 4c)

So, 4(a + 3b – c)2 – (4a – 3b + 2c)2 can be simplified to 3(2a + b) (9b – 20 – 4c).

10. a2 – b2 – c2 + d2+ 2(ad + bc)
Solution:

⇒ a2 – b – c2 + ď2 + 2(ad +bc)

⇒ a2 – b2 – c2 + d + 2ad + 2bc

⇒ a2+ 2ad + d2 – (b2 + c2 – 2bc)

⇒ (a+d)2 – (b-c)2

⇒ {(a+d) + (b-c)} {(a+d) – (b-c)}

⇒ (a+b-c+d) (a-b+c+d)

∴ a2 – b2 – c2 + d2 + 2(ad+bc) = (a + b – c + d) (a – b + c + d)

12. (a+b)(x+cy) – (b+c)(x+ay)
Solution:

(a+b)(x+cy) – (b+c)(x+ay)

{a(x+cy) + b(x+cy)} – {b(x+ay) + c(x+ ay)}

{ax + ayc + bx + byc} – {bx + aby + cx + acy}

ax + ayc + bx + byc – bx – aby – cx – acy

ax + byc -aby -cx

(ax-cx)- by(a-c)

x(a-c)- by(a-c)

(a-c)(x-by)

Solution:

⇒ (a2-5b2) + 3b2(a2-5b2)

⇒ (144x -9x2)+(64y2-36y2) + (192xy+36xy)

⇒ 135x2 + 28y2 + 228xy

⇒ 135x2 + 228xу + 28y2

⇒ 135x2 + 210xy + 18xy + 28y2

⇒ 15x(9x+14y) + 2y(9x+14y)

⇒ (9x+14y) (15x+2y)
