📖 Case Study

Real-life Application: Cost optimization using quadratic equations.

Q. A shopkeeper buys a certain number of books for ₹960. If he had bought 4 more books for the same amount, each book would have cost ₹8 less. Find the number of books bought.

✅ SOLUTION:

Let x = number of books Cost per book = 960/x Given: 960/x - 960/(x+4) = 8 960(x+4) - 960x = 8x(x+4) 3840 = 8x² + 32x x² + 4x - 480 = 0 (x+24)(x-20) = 0 x = 20 books ✓

Question 2

Math ⭐ 3 Marks

Q. Sum of digits of a two-digit number is 9. If 27 is added, digits get reversed. Find the number.

✅ SOLUTION:

Let tens = x, units = y x + y = 9 ... (1) 10x + y + 27 = 10y + x x - y = -3 ... (2) Solving: x = 3, y = 6 Number = 36 ✓

Question 3

Math ⭐ 4 Marks

Q. A train travels 360 km at uniform speed. If speed was 5 km/h more, it would take 1 hour less. Find the speed.

✅ SOLUTION:

Let speed = x km/h 360/x - 360/(x+5) = 1 360(x+5) - 360x = x(x+5) 1800 = x² + 5x x² + 5x - 1800 = 0 (x+45)(x-40) = 0 Speed = 40 km/h ✓

✓ Time-speed-distance ✓ Form quadratic equations ✓ Solve real problems

Math ⭐ 4 Marks

📖 Case Study

BPT: If line parallel to one side, it divides other sides proportionally.

Q. In triangle ABC, DE || BC. If AD=4cm, DB=6cm, AE=5cm, find EC.

✅ SOLUTION:

By BPT: AD/DB = AE/EC 4/6 = 5/EC EC = 30/4 = 7.5 cm ✓

✓ Apply BPT theorem ✓ Solve proportions ✓ Similar triangles

📖 Chapter: Coordinate Geometry

Question 6

Math ⭐ 3 Marks

Q. Find distance between A(3,4) and B(-1,2).

✅ SOLUTION:

d = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²] d = √[(-4)² + (-2)²] d = √[16 + 4] = √20 d = 2√5 units ✓

✓ Distance formula ✓ Simplify surds ✓ Coordinate geometry

📖 Chapter: Trigonometry

Question 7

Math ⭐ 4 Marks

Q. Angle of elevation of tower top is 30°. Moving 20m towards tower, it becomes 60°. Find tower height.

✅ SOLUTION:

Let height = h, initial distance = x tan30° = h/x → x = h√3 tan60° = h/(x-20) → x-20 = h/√3 h√3 - 20 = h/√3 2h/√3 = 20 h = 10√3 m ≈ 17.32 m ✓

✓ Trig ratios ✓ Height & distance ✓ Simultaneous equations

📖 Chapter: Circles

Question 8

Math ⭐ 3 Marks

Q. PA, PB are tangents to circle with centre O. If ∠APB=70°, find ∠AOB.

✅ SOLUTION:

In quadrilateral OAPB: ∠OAP = 90° (tangent ⊥ radius) ∠OBP = 90° ∠AOB + 90° + 70° + 90° = 360° ∠AOB = 110° ✓
