In an AP, the sum of the first 3 terms is -36 and that of the last 3 is 27. If there are 10 terms, what are the 1 st term and the common difference respectively? A. 15,3 B. -15,3 C.15,-3 D.-15,-3

Solution The AP can be expressed as a, (a + d),-, (a + 9d). The sum of the first 3 terms is (3a + 3d) = -36 and the sum of the last 3 terms is (3a + 24d) = 27. Solving these two equations, we get a = -15 and d = 3.

On dividing p(x) by a polynomial x – 1 – x2, the quotient and remainder were (x – 2) and 3 respectively. Find p(x).

Solution Here,dividend = p(x)Divisor, g(x) = (x – 1 – x2)Quotient, q(x) = (x – 2)Remainder, r(x) = 3∵ Dividend = [Divisor × Quotient] + Remainder∴ P(x) = [g(x) × q(x)] + r(x)= [(x – 1 – x²) (x – 2)] + 3= [x² – x – x³ – 2x + 2 + 2x²] +

The scores of a batsman in 10 cricket matches are as follows: 38, 45, 50, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90. Calculate the mean score.

Solution To find the mean score, add up all the scores and divide by the number of matches.Total sum of scores = 38 + 45 + 50 + 60 + 65 + 70 + 75 + 80 + 85 + 90 = 658.Number of matches = 10.Mean score = Total sum of scores / Number

There are 20 vehicles – cars and motorcycles in a parking area. If there are 56 wheels together, how many cars and motorcycles are there?

Solution Let no of cars = x and no of motorcycles = yAccording to our conditionx + y = 20X = 20 – y (i)4x + 2y = 56 (ii)Replacing (i) in (ii) we get4(20 – y) + 2y = 5680 – 4y + 2y = 56-2y = -24Thus y = 12Now replacing y =

A particular football team won 10 matches out of all the total number of matches they played. If their winning percentage was 40 %, how many matches did they play?

Solution Let the total number of matches played be x.The team won around 10 matches, and the team’s winning percentage was 40%.40/100 × x = 1040x = 10 × 10040x = 1000x = 1000/40= 100/4= 25Hence, the team played 25 matches.

Using the Factor Theorem to determine whether g(x) is a factor of p(x) in the following case (i) p(x) = 2x³+x²–2x–1, g(x) = x+1

Solution p(x) = 2x³+x²–2x–1, g(x) = x+1g(x) = 0⇒ x+1 = 0⇒ x = −1∴Zero of g(x) is -1.Now,p(−1) = 2(−1)³+(−1)²–2(−1)–1= −2+1+2−1= 0∴By the given factor theorem, g(x) is a factor of p(x).
