Question 1.
Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are:
(i) (2, 3), (-1, 0), (2, -4)
(ii) (-5, -1), (3, -5), (5, 2)
Solution:
(i) Let the vertices of the triangle be A(2, 3), B(-1, 0) and C(2, – 4)
Here, x1 = 2, y1 = 3
x2 = -1, y2 = 0
x3 = 2, y3 = -4
∵ Area of a triangle
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x1 (y2 – y3) + x2(y3 – y1) + x3(y1 – y2)]
∴ Area of the ∆ABC
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [2{0 – (-4)} + (-1){-4 – (3)} + 2{3 – 0}]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [2(0 + 4) + (-1)(-4 – 3) + 2(3)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [8 + 7 + 6] = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [21] = \(\frac{21}{2}\) sq. units

(ii) Let the vertices of the triangle be A(-5, -1), B(3, -5) and C(5, 2)
Here, x1 = -5, y1 = -1
x2 = 3, y2 = -5
x3 = 5, y3 = 2
∵ Area of a triangle
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x1 (y2 – y3) + x2(y3 – y1) + x3(y1 – y2)]
∴ Area of the ∆ABC
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [-5{-5 – 2} + 3{2 – (-1)} + 5{-1 – (-5)}]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [-5{-7} + 3{2 + 1} + 5{-1 + 5}]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [35 + 3(3) + 5(4)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [35 + 9 + 20] = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 64 = 32 sq. units

Question 2.
In each of the following find the value of’k’, for which the points are collinear.
(i) (7, -2), (5, 1), (3, k)
(ii) (8, 1), (k, -4), (2, -5)
Solution:
The given three points will be collinear if the triangle formed by them has zero area.
(i) Let A(7, -2), B(5, 1) and C(3, k) be the vertices of a triangle.
∴ The given points will be collinear, if ar (∆ABC) = 0
or \(\frac{1}{2}\) [7(1 – k) + 5(k + 2) + 3(-2 – 1)] = 0
⇒ 7 – 7k + 5k + 10 + (-6) – 3 = 0
⇒ 17 – 9 + 5k – 7k = 0
⇒ 8 – 2k = 0 ⇒ 2k = 8 ⇒ k = \(\frac{8}{2}\) = 4
The required value of k = 4.
(ii) \(\frac{1}{2}\) [8(- 4 + 5) + k(- 5 -1) + 2(1 + 4)] = 0
⇒ 8 – 6k + 10 = 0 ⇒ 6k = 18 ⇒ k = 3.

Solution:
Let the vertices of the triangle be A(0, -1), B(2, 1) and C(0, 3).
Let D, E and F be the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively.
∴ Coordinates of D are

Question 5.
You have studied in class IX that a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas. Verify this result for ∆ABC whose vertices are A(A, -6), B(3, -2) and C(5, 2).
Solution:
Here, the vertices of the triangle are A(4, -6), B(3, -2) and C(5, 2).
Let D be the midpoint of BC.
∴ The coordinates of the point D are
\(\left(\frac{3+5}{2}, \frac{-2+2}{2}\right)\) or ( 4, 0)
AD divides the triangle ABC into two parts i.e., ∆ABD and ∆ACD.
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.3 5
ar(∆ADC) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [4(0 – 2) + 4(2 + 6) + 5(-6 – 0)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [-8 + 32 – 30] = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [-6] = -3
= 3 sq. units (numerically) ………… (2)
From (1) and (2),
ar(∆ABD) = ar(∆ADC)
Thus, a median divides the triangle into two triangles of equal areas.

MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4

Question 1.
Determine the ratio in which the line 2x + y – 4 = 0 divides the line segment joining the points A(2, -2) and 8(3, 7).
Solution:
Let the required ratio be k : 1 and the point C divide them in the above ratio.
∴ Coordinates of C are \(\left(\frac{3 k+2}{k+1}, \frac{7 k-2}{k+1}\right)\)
Since, the point C lies on the given line 2x + y – 4 = 0.
∴ We have \(2\left(\frac{3 k+2}{k+1}\right)+\left(\frac{7 k-2}{k+1}\right)-4\) = 0
⇒ 2(3k + 2) + (7k – 2) = 4 × (k + 1)
⇒ 6k + 4 + 7k – 4k – 4 – 2 = 0
⇒ (6 + 7 – 4)k + (-2) = 0 ⇒ 9k – 2 = 0
⇒ k = \(\frac{2}{9}\)
The required ratio = k : 1 = \(\frac{2}{9}\) : 1 = 2 : 9

Question 2.
Find a relation between x and y if the points (x, y), (1, 2) and (7, 0) are collinear.
Solution:
Let the given points be A(x, y), B( 1, 2) and C(7, 0) are collinear.
The points A, B and C will be collinear if area of ∆ABC = 0
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x(2 – 0) + 1(0 – y) + 7(y – 2) = 0
or 2x – y + 7y – 14 = 0
or 2x + 6y – 14 = 0 or x + 3y – 7 = 0, which is the required relation between x and y.

Question 3.
Find the centre of a circle passing through the points (6, -6), (3, -7) and (3, 3).
Solution:
Let the points are A (6, -6), B(3, -7) and C(3, 3)
Let P(x, y) be the centre of the circle. Since, the circle is passing through A, B and C.
∴ AP = BP = CP
Taking AP = BP, we have AP2 = BP2
⇒ (x – 6)2 + (y + 6)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y + 7)2
⇒ x2 – 12x + 36 + y2 + 12y + 36 = x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 14y + 49
⇒ – 12x + 6x + 12y – 14y + 72 – 58 = 0
⇒ – 6x – 2y + 14 = 0
⇒ 3x + y – 7 = 0 ……………….. (1)
Taking BP = CP, we have BP2 = CP2
⇒ (x – 3)2 + (y + 7)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y – 3)2
⇒ x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 14y + 49 = x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 – 6y + 9
⇒ – 6x + 6x + 14y + 6y + 58 -18 = 0
⇒ 20y + 40 = 0
⇒ y = \(\frac{-40}{20}\) = -2
From (1) and (2), 3x – 2 – 7 = 0
⇒ 3x = 9 ⇒ x = 3
i.e., x = 3 and y = -2
∴ The required centre is (3, -2).

Question 4.
The two opposite vertices of a square are (-1, 2) and (3, 2). Find the coordinates of the other two vertices.
Solution:
Let we have a square ABCD such that A(-1, 2) and C(3, 2) are the opposite vertices. Let B(x, y) be an unknown vertex.
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 1
Since, all sides of a square are equal.
∴ AB = BC ⇒ AB2 = BC22
⇒ (x + 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y – 2)2
⇒ x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 – 4y + 4
⇒ x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 – 4y + 4
⇒ 2x + 1 = -6x + 9
⇒ 8x = 8 ⇒ x = 1  …………………. (1)
Since, each angle of a square = 90°.
∴ ∆ABC is a right angled triangle.
∴ Using Pythagoras theorem, we have AB2 + BC2 = AC2
⇒ (x + 1)2 + (y – 2)2] + [(x – 3)2 + (y – 2)2]
= [(3 + 1)2 + (2 – 2)2]
⇒ [x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 – 4y + 4] + [x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 – 4y + 4]
= [42 + 02]
⇒ 2x2 + 2y2 + 2x – 4y – 6x – 4y + 1 + 4 + 9 + 4 = 16
⇒ 2x2 + 2y2 – 4x – 8y + 2 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 – 2x – 4y + 1 = 0 …………….. (2)
Substituting the value of x from (1) into (2), we have
1 + y2 – 2 – 4y + 1 = 0
⇒ y2 – 4y + 2 – 2 = 0
⇒ y2 – y = 0
⇒ y(y – 4) = 0
⇒ y = 0 or y = 4
Hence, the required other two vertices are (1, 0) and (1, 4).

Question 5.
The class X students of a secondary school in Krishinagar have been allotted a rectangular plot of land for their gardening activity. Sapling of Gulmohar are planted on the boundary at a distance of 1 m from each other. There is a triangular grassy lawn in the plot as shown in the figure. The students are to sow seeds of flowering plants on the remaining area of the plot.
(i) Taking A as origin, find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.
(ii) What will be the coordinates of the vertices of ∆PQR if C is the origin?
Also calculate the areas of the triangles in these cases. What do you observe?
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 2
Solution:
(i) By taking A as the origin and AD and AB as the coordinate axes. We have P(4, 6), Q( 3, 2) and R( 6, 5) as the vertices of ∆PQR.
(ii) By taking C as the origin and CB and CD as the coordinate axes, then the vertices of ∆PQR are P(-12, – 2), Q(-13, – 6) and R(- 10, – 3)
Case I: When P(4, 6), Q(3, 2) and R(6, 5) are the vertices.
∴ ar(∆PQR) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [4(2 – 5) + 3(5 – 6) + 6(6 – 2)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [-12 – 3 + 24] = \(\frac{9}{2}\) sq. units
Case II: When P(-12, -2), Q(-13, -6) and R(-10, -3) are the vertices.
∴ ar(∆PQR)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [-12(- 6 + 3) + (-13)(- 3 + 2) + (-10)(-2 + 6)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [-12(-3) + (-13)(-1) + (-10) × (4)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [36 + 13 – 40] = \(\frac{9}{2}\) sq. units
Thus, in both cases, the area of ∆PQR is the same.

(iii) Find the coordinates of points Q and R on medians BE and CF respectively such that BQ : QE = 2 : 1 and CR : RF = 2 : 1
(iv) What do you observe?
[Note : The point which is common to all the three medians is called the centroid and this point divides each median in the ratio 2:1.]
(v) If A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3) are the vertices of ∆ABC, find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle.
Solution:
We have the vertices of ∆ABC as A (4, 2), B(6, 5) and C(1, 4).
(i) Since AD is a median
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 6
∴ Coordinates of D are
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 7
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 8
Also, CR : RF = 2 : 1 i.e., the point R divides CF in the ratio 2 : 1
∴ Coordinates of R are
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 9
(iv) We observe that P, Q and R represent the same point.
(v) Here, we have A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3) are the vertices of ∆ABC. Also AD, BE and CF are its medians.
∴ D, E and F are the mid points of BC, CA and AB respectively.
We know, the centroid is a point on a median, dividing it in the ratio 2 : 1.
Considering the median AD, coordinates of

Question 8.
ABCD is a rectangle formed by the points A(-1, -1), B(-1, 4), C(5, 4) and D(5, -1). P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Is the quadrilateral PQRS a square? a rectangle? or a rhombus? Justify your answer.
Solution:
We have a rectangle whose vertices are A(-1, -1), B(-1, 4), C(5, 4) and D(5, -1).
∵ P is mid-point of AB
∴ Coordinates of P are
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 11
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4 12
We see that PQ = QR = RS = SP i.e., all sides of PQRS are equal.
∴ It can be a square or a rhombus.
But PR ≠ QS i.e., its diagonals are not equal.
∴ PQRS is a rhombus.

∴ \(u_{i}=\frac{x_{i}-a}{h}=\frac{x_{i}-150}{20}\)
∴ We have the following table:
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.1 4
Now, \(\overline{x}\) = a + h × {\(\frac{1}{N}\) Σfiui}
= 150 + 20 × \(\left(\frac{-12}{50}\right)\) = 150 – \(\frac{24}{5}\)
= 150 – 4.8 = 145.20

In each of the following, give also the justification of the construction:

Question 1.
Draw a circle of radius 6 cm. From a point 10 cm away from its centre, construct the pair of tangents to the circle and measure their lengths.
Solution:
Steps of Construction :
I. Draw a circle of radius 6 cm. Let its centre be O.
II. Take a point P such that OP = 10 cm. Join OP.
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Constructions Ex 11.2 1
III. Bisect OP and let M be its midpoint.
IV. Taking M as centre and MP or MO as radius draw a circle.
Let the new circle intersects the given circle at A and B. Join PA and PB.
Thus, PA and PB are the required tangents. By measurement, we have : PA = PB = 8 cm.
Justification:
Join OA and OB
Since PO is a diameter.
∴ ∠OAP = 90° = ∠OBP [Angles in a semicircle]
Also, OA and OB are radii of the same circle.
⇒ PA and PB are tangents to the circle.

Question 2.
Construct a tangent to a circle of radius 4 cm from a point on the concentric circle of radius 6 cm and measure its length. Also verify the measurement by actual calculation.
Solution:
Steps of Construction :
I. Draw two concentric circles with centre O and radii 4 cm and 6 cm.
II. Take any point P on outer circle.
III. Join PO and bisect it and let the midpoint of PO is represented by M.
IV. Taking M as centre and OM or MP as radius, draw a circle such that this circle intersects the circle (of radius 4 cm) at A and B.
V. Join AP.
Thus, PA is the required tangent.
By measurement, we have PA = 4.5 cm
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Constructions Ex 11.2 2
Justification:
Join OA. As PO is diameter
∴ ∠PAO = 90° [Angle in a semi-circle]
⇒ PA⊥OA
∵ OA is a radius of the inner circle.
∴ PA has to be a tangent to the inner circle.
Verification:
In right ∆PAO, PO = 6 cm, OA = 4 cm.
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Constructions Ex 11.2 3
Hence both lengths are approximately equal.

Question 3.
Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take two points P and Q on one of its extended diameter each at a distance of 7 cm from its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points P and Q.
Solution:
Steps of Construction :
I. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm with centre O and draw a diameter.
II. Extend its diameter on both sides and cut OP = OQ = 7 cm
III. Bisect PO such that M be its mid-point.
IV. Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at A and B.
V. Join PA and PB.
Thus, PA and PB are the two required tangents from P.
VI. Now bisect OQ such that N is its mid point.
VII. Taking N as centre and NO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at C and D.
VIII. Join QC and QD.
Thus, QC and QD are the required tangents from Question
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Constructions Ex 11.2 4
Justification:
Join OA to get ∠OAP = 90°
[Angle in a semi-circle]
⇒ PA⊥OA
⇒ PA is a tangent.
Similarly, PB⊥OB
⇒ PB is a tangent.
Now, join OC to get ∠QCO = 90°
[Angle in a semi-circle]
⇒ QC⊥OC ⇒ QC is a tangent.
Similarly, QD⊥OD
⇒ QD is a tangent.

Question 4.
Draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°.
Solution:
Steps of Construction :
I. With centre O and radius = 5 cm, draw a circle.
II. Taking a point A on the circle draw ∠AOB = 120°.

III. Draw a perpendicular on OA at A.
IV. Draw another perpendicular on OB at B.
V. Let the two perpendiculars meet at C.
Thus CA and CB are the two required tangents to the given circle which are inclined to each other at 60°.
Justification:
In a quadrilateral OACB, using angle sum
property, we have
120° + 90° + 90° + ∠ACB = 360°
⇒ 300° + ∠ACB = 360°
⇒ ∠ACB = 360° – 300° = 60°.

Question 5.
Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 3 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
I. Draw a line segment AB = 8 cm
II. Draw a circle with centre A and radius 4 cm, draw another circle with centre B and radius 3 cm.
III. Bisect the line segment AB. Let its mid point be M.
IV. With centre as M and MA (or MB) as radius, draw a circle such that it intersects the two circles at points P, Q, R and S.
V. Join BP and BQ.
Thus, BP and BQ are the required two tangents from B to the circle with centre A.
VI. Join RA and SA.
Thus, RA and SA are the required two tangents from A to the circle with centre B.
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Constructions Ex 11.2 6
Justification:
Let us join A and P.
∵ ∠APB = 90° [Angle in a semi-circle]
∴ BP⊥AP
But AP is radius of the circle with centre A.
⇒ BP has to be a tangent to the circle with centre A.
Similarly, BQ has to be tangent to the circle with centre A.
Also AR and AS are tangents to the circle with centre B.

IV. Take a point N outside this circle.
V. Join ON and bisect it. Let M be the mid-point of ON.
VI. Taking M as centre and OM as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at A and B.
VII. Join NA and NB. Thus, NA and NB are the required two tangents.
Justification:
Join OA and OB.
Since ∠OAN = 90° [Angle in a semi circle]
∴ NA⊥OA.
Also NA is a radius.
∴ NA has to be a tangent to the given circle.

MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.1

Question 1.
Check whether the following are quadratic equations:
(i) (x + 1 )2 = 2(x – 3)
(ii) x2 – 2x = (-2)(3 – x)
(iii) (x – 2)(x + 1) = (x – 1 )(x + 3)
(iv) (x – 3)(2x + 1) = x(x + 5)
(v) (2x – 1 )(x – 3) = (x + 5)(x – 1)
(vi) x2 + 3x + 1 = (x – 2)2
(vii) (x + 2)3 = 2x(x2 – 1)
(viii) x3 – 4x2 – x + 1 = (x – 2)3
Solution:
(i) We have, (x + 1)2 = 2(x – 3)
⇒ x2 + 2x + 1 = 2x – 6
⇒ x2 + 2x + 1 – 2x + 6 = 0
⇒ x2 + 7 = 0
Since, x2 + 7 is a quadratic polynomial.
∴ (x + 1)2 = 2(x – 3) is a quadratic equation.

(ii) We have, x2 – 2x = (-2) (3 – x)
⇒ x2 – 2x = – 6 + 2x
⇒ x2 – 2x – 2x + 6 = 0
⇒ x2 – 4x + 6 = 0
Since, x2 – 4x + 6 is a quadratic polynomial
∴ x2 – 2x = (-2)(3 – x) is a quadratic equation.

(iii) We have, (x – 2)(x + 1) = (x – 1) (x + 3)
⇒ x2 – x2 = x2 + 2x3
⇒ x2 – x – 2 – x2 – 2x + 3 = 0
⇒ – 3x +1 = 0
Since, – 3x + 1 is a linear polynomial.
∴ (x – 2)(x + 1) = (x – 1)(x + 3) is not a quadratic equation.

MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.1

(iv) We have, (x – 3) (2x + 1) = x(x + 5)
⇒ 2x2 + x – 6x – 3 = x2 + 5x
⇒ 2x2 – 5x – 3 – x2 – 5x = 0
⇒ x2 – 10x – 3 = 0
Since, x2 – 10x – 3 is a quadratic polynomial.
∴ (x – 3)(2x + 1) = x(x + 5) is a quadratic equation.

(v) We have, (2x – 1) (x – 3) = (x + 5) (x – 1)
⇒ 2x2 – 6x – x + 3 = x2 – x + 5x – 5
⇒ 2x2 – 7x + 3 = x2 + 4x – 5
⇒ 2x2 – 7x + 3 – x2 – 4x + 5 = 0
⇒ x2 – 11x + 8 = 0
Since, x2 – 11x + 8 is a quadratic polynomial
∴ (2x – 1)(x – 3) = (x + 5)(x -1) is a quadratic equation.

(vi) We have, x2 + 3x + 1 = (x – 2)2
⇒ x2 + 3x + 1 = x2 – 4x + 4
⇒ x2 + 3x + 1 – x2 + 4x – 4 = 0
⇒ 7x – 3 = 0
Since, 7x – 3 is a linear polynomial.
x2 + 3x + 1 = (x – 2)2 is not a quadratic equation.

MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.1

(vii) We have, (x + 2)3 = 2x(x2 – 1)
⇒ x3 + 3x2(2) + 3x(2)2 + (2)3 = 2x3 – 2x
⇒ x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8 = 2x3 – 2x
⇒ x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8 – 2x3 + 2x = 0
⇒ -x3 + 6x2 + 14x + 8 = 0
Since, -x3 + 6x2 + 14x + 8 is a polynomial of degree 3.
∴ (x + 2)3= 2x(x2 – 1) is not a quadratic equation.

(viii) We have, x3 – 4x2 – x + 1 = (x – 2)3
⇒ x3 – 4x2 – x + 1 = x3 + 3x2(-2) + 3x(-2)2 + (-2)3
⇒ x3 – 4x2 – x + 1 = x3 – 6x2 + 12x – 8
⇒ x3 – 4x2 – x + 1 – x3 + 6x2 – 12x + 8 = 0 ⇒ 2x2 – 13x + 9 = 0
Since, 2x2 – 13x + 9 is a quadratic polynomial.
∴ x3 – 4x2 – x + 1 = (x – 2)3 is a quadratic equation.

Question 2.
Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations:
(i) The area of a rectangular plot is 528 m2. 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.
(ii) The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers.
(iii) Rohan’s mother is 26 years older than him. The product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360. We would like to find Rohan’s present age.
(iv) A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8 km/hr less, then it would have taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train.
Solution:
(i) Let the breadth = x metres
∵ Length = 2(Breadth) + 1
∴ Length = (2x + 1)metres
Since, Length × Breadth = Area
∴ (2x + 1) × x = 528 ⇒ 2x2 + x = 528
⇒ 2x2 + x – 528 = 0
Thus, the required quadratic equation is 2x2 + x – 528 = 0

(ii) Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and (x + 1).
∵ Product of two consecutive positive integers = 306
∴ x(x + 1) = 306 ⇒ x2 + x = 306
⇒ x2 + x – 306 = 0
Thus, the required quadratic equation is x2 + x – 306 = 0

(iii) Let the present age of Rohan be x years
∴ Mother’s age = (x + 26) years
After 3 years,
Rohan’s age = (x + 3) years
Mother’s age = [(x + 26) + 3] years
= (x + 29) years
According to the condition,
(x + 3) × (x + 29) = 360
⇒ x2 + 29x + 3x + 87 = 360
⇒ x2 + 29x + 3x + 87 – 360 = 0
⇒ x2 + 32x – 273 = 0
Thus, the required quadratic equation is x2 + 32x – 273 = 0

(iv) Let the speed of the train = u km/hr Distance covered = 480 km Distance
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.1 1
In second case,
Speed = (u – 8) km/hour
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.1 2
⇒ 480u – 480(u – 8) = 3u(u – 8)
⇒ 480u – 480u + 3840 = 3u2 – 24u
⇒ 3840 – 3u2 + 24u = 0
⇒ u2 – 8u – 1280 = 0
Thus, the required quadratic equation is u2 – 8u – 1280 = 0

Question 4.
The sum of the reciprocals of Rehman’s ages, (in years) 3 years ago and 5 years from now is \(\frac{1}{3}\). Find his present age.
Solution:
Let the present age of Rehman be x years.
3 years ago, Rehman’s age = (x – 3) years
5 years later, Rehman’s age = (x + 5) years
According to the condition,
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 12
⇒ 3(2x + 2) = x2 + 2x – 15
⇒ 6x + 6 = x2 + 2x – 15
⇒ x2 + 2x – 6x – 15 – 6 = 0
⇒ x2 – 4x – 21 = 0 …(1)
Comparing equation (1) with ax2 + bx + c = 0,
we get a = 1, b = -4, c = -21
b2 – 4ac = (-4)2 – 4(1)(-21) = 16 + 84 = 100
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 13
Since, age cannot be negative.
∴ x ≠ -3 ⇒ x = 7
So, the present age of Rehman = 7 years

Question 5.
In a class test, the sum of Shefali’s marks in Mathematics and English is 30. Had she got 2 marks more in Mathematics and 3 marks less in English, the product of their marks would have been 210. Find her marks in the two subjects.
Solution:
Let Shefali’s marks in Mathematics = x
∴ Marks in English = 30 – x
According to the condition,
(x + 2) × [(30 – x) – 3] = 210
⇒ (x + 2) × (30 – x – 3) = 210
⇒ (x + 2)(- x + 27) = 210
⇒ -x2 + 25x + 54 = 210
⇒ -x2 + 25x + 54 – 210 = 0
⇒ -x2 + 25x – 156 = 0
⇒ x2 – 25x + 156 = 0 …(1)
Comparing equation (1) with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get a = 1,b = -25, c = 156
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 14
When x = 12, then 30 – x = 30 – 12 = 18 Thus, marks in Mathematics = 13, marks in English = 17 or
Marks in Mathematics = 12, Marks in English = 18.

Question 6.
The diagonal of a rectangular field is 60 metres more than the shorter side. If the longer side is 30 metres more than the shorter side, find the sides of the field.
Solution:
Let the shorter side i.e., breadth = x metres
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 15
∴ The longer side i.e., length = (x + 30) metres and diagonal = (x + 60) metres
In a rectangle,
(diagonal)2 = (breadth)2 + (length)2
⇒ (x + 60)2 = x2 + (x + 30)2
⇒ x2 + 120 x + 3600 = x2 + x2 + 60x + 900
⇒ x2 + 120x + 3600 = 2x2 + 60x + 900
⇒ 2x2 – x2 + 60x – 120x + 900 – 3600 = 0
⇒ x2 – 60x – 2700 = 0 …(1)
Comparing equation (1) with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get a = 1, b = -60, c = -2700
∴ b2 – 4ac = (-60)2 – 4(1)(-2700)
⇒ b2 – 4ac = 3600 + 10800
⇒ b2 – 4ac = 14400
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 16
Since breadth cannot be negative,
x ≠ -30 ⇒ x = 90
∴ x + 30 = 90 + 30 = 120
Thus, the shorter side is 90 m and the longer side is 120 m.

Question 7.
The difference of squares of two numbers is 180. The square of the smaller number is 8 times the larger number. Find the two numbers.
Solution:
Let the larger number be x.
Since, (smaller number)2 = 8(larger number)
⇒ (smaller number)2 = 8
⇒ smaller number = \(\sqrt{8 x}\)
According to the condition,
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 17
Thus, the smaller number = 12 or -12
Thus, the two numbers are 18 and 12 or 18 and -12.

Question 8.

MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 19
Thus, speed of the train is 40 km/hr.

Question 9.
Two water taps together can fill a tank in \(9 \frac{3}{8}\) hours. The tap of larger diameter takes 10 hours less than the smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can separately fill the tank.
Solution:
Let the smaller tap fills the tank in x hours
∴ The larger tap fills the tank in (x – 10) hours.
Amount of water flowing through both the taps in one hour
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 20
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 21
[ ∵ Time cannot be negative]
x = 25 ⇒ x – 10 = 25 – 10 = 15
Thus, time taken to fill the tank by the smaller tap alone is 25 hours and by the larger tap alone is 15 hours.

Question 10.
An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore and Bangalore (without taking into consideration the time they stop at intermediate stations). If the average speed of the express train is 11 km/h more than that of the passenger train, find the average speed of the two trains.
Solution:
Let the average speed of the passenger train be x km/h.
∴ Average speed of the express train = (x + 11) km/h
Total distance covered = 132 km
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 22

Question 11.
Sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m2. If the difference of their perimeters is 24 m, find the sides of the two squares.
Solution:
Let the side of the smaller square be x m.
⇒ Perimeter of the smaller square = 4x m
∴ Perimeter of the larger square = (4x + 24) m
⇒ Side of the larger square
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 24
Area of the smaller square = x2 m2
Area of the larger square = (x + 6)2 m2
According to the condition,
x2 + (x + 6)2 = 468
⇒ x2 + x2 + 12x + 36 = 468
⇒ 2x2 + 12x – 432 = 0
⇒ x2 + 6x – 216 = 0 …(1)
[Dividing both sides by 2] Comparing equation (1) with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = 6, c = -216
b2 – 4ac = (6)2 – 4(1)(-216) = 36 + 864 = 900
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations Ex 4.3 26
But the length of a square cannot be negative,
∴ x ≠ -18 ⇒ x = 12
Length of the smaller square = 12 m
and the length of the larger square = x + 6
= 12+ 6 = 18 m

Question 2.
Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume of air contained in the model that Rachel made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same.)
Solution:
Here, diameter = 3 cm
⇒ Radius (r) = \(\frac{3}{2}\) cm
Total height = 12 cm
Height of a cone (h1) = 2 cm
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.2 2
∴ Height of both cones = 2 × 2 = 4 cm
⇒ Height of the cylinder (h2) = (12 – 4) cm = 8 cm.
Now, volume of the cylindrical part = πr2h2
Volume of both conical parts = 2[\(\frac{1}{3}\) πr2h1]
∴ Volume of the whole model

MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.2 4
Solution:
Since a gulab jamun is like a cylinder with hemispherical ends.
Total height of the gulab jamun = 5 cm.
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.2 5
Diameter = 2.8 cm
⇒ Radius (r) = 1.4 cm
∴ Length of the cylindrical part (h)
= 5 cm – (1.4 + 1.4) cm = 5 cm – 2.8 cm = 2.2 cm
Now, volume of the cylindrical part = πr2h and volume of both the hemispherical ends
= 2(\(\frac{2}{3}\) πr3) = \(\frac{4}{3}\) πr3
∴ Volume of a gulab jamun

Question 4.
A pen stand made up of wood is in the shape of a cuboid with four conical depressions to hold pens. The dimensions of the cuboid are 15 cm by 10 cm by 3.5 cm. The radius of each of the depressions is 0.5 cm and the depth is 1.4 cm. Find the volume of wood in the entire stand (see figure).
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.2 8
Solution:
Dimensions of the cuboid are 15 cm by 10 cm by 3.5 cm.
∴ Volume of the cuboid = 15 × 10 × \(\frac{35}{10}\) cm3
= 525 cm3
Since, each depression is conical in shape with base radius (r) = 0.5 cm and depth (h) = 1.4 cm
∴ Volume of each depression
= \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left(\frac{5}{10}\right)^{2} \times \frac{14}{10} \mathrm{cm}^{3}=\frac{11}{30} \mathrm{cm}^{3}\)
Since, there are 4 depressions
∴ Total volume of 4 depressions = \(\frac{44}{30}\) cm3
Now, volume of the wood in entire stand = [Volume of the wooden cuboid] – [Volume of 4 depressions]
= 525cm3 – \(\frac{44}{30}\) cm3
= \(\frac{15750-44}{30} \mathrm{cm}^{3}=\frac{15706}{30} \mathrm{cm}^{3}\)
= 523.53 cm3

Solution:
Height of the big cylinder (h) = 220 cm
Base radius (r) = \(\frac{24}{2}\) cm = 12cm
∴ Volume of the big cylinder
= πr2h = (π(12)2 × 220) cm3
Also, height of smaller cylinder (h1) = 60 cm
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.2 10
Base radius (r1) = 8 cm
∴ Volume of the smaller cylinder πr12h1
= (π(8)2 × 60) cm3
∴ Volume of iron pole = [Volume of big cylinder] + [Volume of the smaller cylinder]
= (π × 220 × 122 × π × 60 × 82) cm3
= 3.14[220 × 12 × 12 + 60 × 8 × 8] cm3

Solution:
Height of the conical part = 120 cm
Base radius of the conical part = 60 cm
Volume of the conical part
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) πr2h = [\(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}\) × (60)2 × 120] cm3
Radius of the hemispherical part = 60 cm.

Solution:
Volume of the cylindrical part = πr2h
= (3.14 × 12 × 8) cm3 = \(\frac{314}{100}\) × 8 cm3
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.2 13
∴ Total volume of the glass vessel = [Volume of cylindrical part] + [Volume of spherical part]
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.2 14
⇒ Volume of water in the vessel = 346.51 cm3
Since the child finds the volume as 345 cm3
∴ The child’s answer is not correct.

Solution:
Let the required point be P(x, y).
Here the end points are (-1, 7) and (4, – 3)
Ratio = 2 : 3 = m1 : m2
∴ x = \(\frac{m_{1} x_{2}+m_{2} x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\)
= \(\frac{(2 \times 4)+3 \times(-1)}{2+3}=\frac{8-3}{5}=\frac{5}{5}=1\)
And y = \(\frac{m_{1} y_{2}+m_{2} y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\)

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (-3, 10) and (6, -8) is divided by (-1, 6).
Solution:
Let the given points are A(-3, 10) and B(6, -8).
Let the point P(-1, 6) divides AB in the ratio m1 : m2.
∴ Using the section formula, we have
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.2 6
⇒ -1(m1 + m2) = 6m1 – 3m2
and 6(m1 + m2) = – 8m1 + 10m2
⇒ -m1 – m2 – 6m1 + 3m2 = 0
and 6m1 + 6m2 + 8m1 – 10m2 = 0
⇒ -7m1 + 2m2 = 0 and 14m1 – 4m2 = 0 or 7m1 – 1m2 = 0
⇒ \(\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=\frac{2}{7}\) and \(\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=\frac{2}{7}\)
⇒ 2m2 = 7m1 and 7m1 = 2m2
⇒ m1 : m2 = 2 : 7 and m1 : m2 = 2 : 7
Thus, the required ratio is 2 : 7.

∴ The required values of x and y are 6 and 3 respectively.

Question 7.
Find the coordinates of a point A, where AB is the diameter of a circle whose centre is (2, -3) and Bis (1,4).
Solution:
Let centre of the circle is 0(2, -3) and the end points of the diameter be A(x, y) and B(1, 4)
MP Board Class 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.2 10
Since, the centre of a circle bisects the diameter.
∴ 2 = \(\frac{x+1}{2}\) ⇒ x + 1 = 4 or x = 3
And -3 = \(\frac{y+4}{2}\) ⇒ y + 4 = -6 or y = -10
Thus, the coordinates of A are (3, -10)

Question 8.
If A and B are (-2, -2) and (2, -4) respectively, find the coordinates of P such that AP = \(\frac{3}{7}\) AB and Plies on the line segment AB.
Solution:
Here, the given points are A(-2, -2) and B(2, -4)
Let the coordinates of P are (x, y)
Since, the point P divides AB such that
AP = \(\frac{3}{7}\)AB or \(\frac{A P}{A B}\) = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
⇒ AB = AP + BP
⇒ \(\frac{A P+B P}{A P}\) = \(\frac{7}{3}\)
