Answer:
– 5 is root of the equation 2x2 + px – 15 = 0, then
2(-5)2 + p(-5) – 15 = 0
⇒ 50 + (- 5)p – 15 = 0
⇒ p = \(\frac{-35}{-5}\) = 7 ……….. (1)
p(x2 + x) + k = 0 has equal root
⇒ b2 – 4ac = 0
Here b = p, a = p, c = k
⇒ p2 = 4 pk ………….. (2)
(7)2 – 4 × 7k = 0
(1) and (2) gives,
∴ k = \(\frac{7}{4}\)

Question 4.
For what value of k, x2 + 4x + k is a perfect square?

A quadratic expression is a perfect square, if and only if corresponding equation has equal roots.
i.e., D = 0
⇒ 16 – 4k = 0
⇒ k = 4

Question 5.
Solve: \(\frac{1}{a+b+x}=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{x}\),
[x ≠ 0, x ≠ – (a + b)].
Answer:
Quadratic Equations Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 4 with solutions 4
⇒ – ab = x2 + x (a + b)
⇒ x2 + x (a + b) + ab = 0
⇒ x2 + ax + bx + ab = 0
⇒ x (x + a) + b (x + a) = 0
⇒ (x + a) (x + b) = 0
∴ x = – a or x = – b
Hence, – a and – b are roots of given equation.

Question 6.
The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. Find the integers.
Answer:
Let the consecutive positive integers be x and x + 1.
Then, x (x + 1) = 306
or, x2 + x – 306 = 0
or, x2 + 18x – 17x – 306 = 0
or, x(x + 18) – 17(x + 18) = 0
or, (x + 18) (x – 17) = 0
x = – 18, 17
Neglecting x = – 18
∴ x = 17 and x + 1 = 17 + 1 = 18
Hence, two consecutive positive integers are 17 and 18.

⇒ 4×2 + 6x + x- 3 + 3x + 9 = 0
⇒ 4×2 + lOx + 6 = 0
⇒ 4×2 + 4x+ 6x + 6 = 0
⇒ 4x(x + 1) + 6(x + 1) = 0
⇒ (x +1) (4x + 6) = 0
⇒ x + 1 = 0
or 4x + 6 = 0
⇒ x = – 1, – \(\frac{3}{2}\)
But
x ≠ – \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Question 3.
A plane left 30 minutes late than its scheduled time and in order to reach the destination 1500 km away in time, it had to increase its speed by 100 km/h from the usual speed. Find its usual speed.
Answer:
Let the usual speed of plane be x km/hr
∴ [Time taken to travel 1500 km with speed × km/hr] – [Time taken to travel 1500 km with speed (x + 100) km/hr] = half an hour
Quadratic Equations Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 4 with solutions 7
⇒ x2 + 100x – 300000 = 0
x2 + 600x – 500x – 300000 = 0
(x + 600) (x – 500) = 0
x = 500 as x can’t be negative so – 600 is rejected.
∴ usual speed of the plane is 500 km/hr.

Question 4.
Find the value of p for which the quadratic equation (2p + 1)x2 – (7p + 2)x + (7p – 3) = 0 has equal roots. Also find these roots. [S.A-II, 2014]
Answer:
(2p + 1)x2 – (7p + 2)x + (7p – 3) = 0 …(1)
For equal roots D = 0
b2 – 4ac = 0
⇒ [- (7p + 2)]2 – 4(2p + 1) (7p – 3) = 0
⇒ 49p2 + 4 + 28p – 4 (14p2 – 6p + 7p – 3) = 0
⇒ 49p2 + 28p + 4 – 56p2 + 24p – 28p + 12 = 0
⇒ – 7p2 + 24p + 16 = 0
⇒ 7p2 – 24p – 16 = 0
⇒ 7p2 – 28p + 4p – 16 = 0
⇒ 7p (p – 4) + 4 (p – 4) = 0
⇒ (p – 4) (7p + 4) = 0
∴ p = 4, \(\frac{-4}{7}\)
If p = 4, then (1)
⇒ 9x2 – 30x + 25 = 0
⇒ 9x2 – 15x – 15x + 25 = 0
⇒ 3x(3x – 5) – 5(3x – 5) = 0
⇒ (3x – 5) (3x – 5) = 0
⇒ (3x – 5)2 = 0
⇒ 3x – 5 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
∴ Roots are \(\frac{5}{3}\) and \(\frac{5}{3}\).
If P = – \(\frac{4}{7}\), then (1)
⇒ \(\frac{-x^2}{7}\) + 2x – 7 = 0
– x2 + 14x – 49 = 0
x2 – 14x + 49 = 0
(x – 7)2 = 0
∴ x = 7, 7

Question 5.

Answer:
Let the speed of passenger train be x km/h.
Then, speed of faster train = (x + 16) km/h
According to question:
Time taken to complete the journey by faster train (t1) = \(\frac{192}{x+16}\) hours and time taken by passenger train (t2) = \(\frac{192}{x}\)
According to question,
Quadratic Equations Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 4 with solutions 8
∵ Speed cannot be negative.
∴ Speed of the passenger train = 32 km/h
and speed of faster train = 32 + 16 = 48 km/h

Question 1.
Speed of a boat in still water is 15 kn\h. It goes 30 km upstream and returns back at the same point in 4 hours 30 minutes. Find the speed of the stream. [CBSE Delhi 2017]
Answer:
Let speed of boat be xkm/hr
∴ Speed of boat upstream = (15 – x) km/hr.
Quadratic Equations Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 4 with solutions 9
200 = 225 – x2
⇒ x2 = 25
x = 5 (Rejecting – 5)
∴ Speed of stream = 5 km/hr

Question 2.
Find x in terms of a, b and c:
\(\frac{a}{x-a}+\frac{b}{x-b}=\frac{2 c}{x-c}\), x ≠ a, b, c [CBSE Delhi 2016]
Answer:
Consider the given equation:
Quadratic Equations Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 4 with solutions 10
⇒ (x – c)[a(x – b) + b(x – a)] = 2c(x – a)(x – b)
⇒ (x – c)[ax – ab + bx – ab] = 2c(x2 – bx – ax + ab)
⇒ ax2 – 2abx + bx2 – acx + 2abc – bcx = 2cx2 – 2bcx – 2acx + 2abc
⇒ ax2 + bx2 – 2cx2 = 2abx – acx – bcx
⇒ (a + b – 2c)x2 = x(2ab – ac – bc)
⇒ (a + b – 2c)x2 – x(2ab – ac – bc) = 0
⇒ x[(a + b – 2c)x – (2 ab – ac – bc) = 0
⇒ either x = 0
or (a + b – 2c)x – (2ab – ac – bc) = 0
or (a + b – 2c)x = (2ab – ac – bc)
or x = \(\frac{(2 a b-a c-b c)}{(a+b-2 c)}\)
Thus, the two roots of the given equation are x = 0 and \(\)

Question 3.
A train travels at a certain average speed for a distance of 63 km and then travels at a distance of 72 km at an average speed of 6 km/hr more than its original speed. If it takes 3 hours to complete total journey, what is the original average speed ? [CBSE 2018]
Answer:
Let original speed of train be x km/ hr
Distance = 63 km; time (t1) = 63/x hrs
∴ Faster speed = (x + 6) km/hr
[∵ Time = \(\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Speed }}\)]
Distance = 72 km; time (t2) = 72/ (x + 6) hrs.
(t1) + (t2) = 3 hrs
\(\frac{63}{x}+\frac{72}{(x+6)}\) = 3
⇒ 63(x + 6) + 72x = 3x (x + 6)
⇒ 63x + 378 + 72x = 3x2 + 18x
⇒ 3x2 – 117x – 378 = 0
⇒ x2 – 39x – 126 = 0
⇒ 7x2 – 42x + 3x + 126 = 0
⇒ (x – 42) (x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = -3
[Rejected as speed can’t be negative]
∴ x = 42
∴ Original speed of train is 42 km/hr.

Question 4.
A motor boat whose speed is 18 km/hr in still water takes 1 hr more to go 24 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream. [CBSE 2018]
Answer:
Let the speed of stream be x km/ hr
∴ The speed of the boat upstream = (18 – x) km/hr
and speed of the boat downstream = (18 + x) km/hr
According to the question:
Quadratic Equations Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 4 with solutions 11
⇒ 48x = 324 – x2
⇒ x2 + 48x – 324 = 0
⇒ x2 + 54x – 6x – 324 = 0
⇒ x(x + 54) – 6(x + 54) = 0
⇒ (x + 54) (x – 6) = 0
⇒ x + 54 = 0
x = – 54
[Rejecting – 54, as speed can’t be negative]
and x – 6 = 0
∴ x = 6 km/h
∴ Speed of the stream = 6 km/hr.

Question 5.
A thief runs with a uniform speed of 100 m/ minute. After one minute, a policeman runs after the thief to catch him. He goes with a speed of 100 m/minute in the first minute and increases his speed by 10 m/minute every succeeding minute. After how many minutes the policeman will catch the thief? [CBSE 2016]
Answer:
Suppose the policeman catches the thief after t minutes.
Uniform speed of the thief = 100 metres/minute
∴ Distance covered by thief in (t + 1) = 100 (t + 1) metres [∵ Distance = Speed × Time]
Distance covered by policeman in t minutes = Sum of t terms of an AP with first term 100 and common difference 10.
\(\frac{t}{2}\) [2 × 100 + (t -1) × 10] m
= t[100 + 5(t – 1)]
= t(5t + 95) = 5t2 + 95t
When the policeman catches the thief.
5t2 + 95t = 100 (t + 1)
⇒ 5t2 + 95t = 100t + 100
⇒ 5t2 – 5t – 100 = 0
⇒ t2 – t – 20 = 0
⇒ t = – 4 and t = 5
Neglecting -ve time. We get t = 5
Thus, the policeman catches the thief after 5 minutes.

Question 6.
The difference of two natural numbers is 5. If the difference of their reciprocals is \(\frac{1}{10}\), find the two numbers.
Answer:
Let the number be x and y (x > y).
According to question; x – y = 5 …………… (i)
Quadratic Equations Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 4 with solutions 12
Putting the value of y in (z)
x – \(\frac{50}{x}\) =5
⇒ x2 – 50 = 5x
⇒ x2 – 5x – 50 = 0
⇒ x22 – 10x + 5x – 50 = 0
⇒ x (x – 10) + 5 (x – 10) = 0
⇒ (x – 10) (x + 5) = 0
⇒ x = – 5, 10
When x = – 5, y = \(\frac{50}{-5}\) = – 10
When x = 10, y = \(\frac{50}{10}\) = 5
∴ Two natural numbers as 5,10.

Question 3.
If the equation (1 + m2) x2 + 2mcx + c2 – a2 = 0 has equal roots, show that c2 = a2 (1 + m2).
Answer:
Given equation is,
(1 + m2) x2 + 2mcx + c2 – a2 = 0
∵ Roots are equal.
∴ D = 0
B2 – 4AC = 0
(2mc)2 – 4 (1 + m2) (c2 – a2) = 0
or 4m2c2 – 4 [c2 – a2 + m2c2 – m2a2] = 0
or 4[m2c2 – c2 + a2 – m2c2 + m2a2] = 0
or – c2 + a2 (1 + m2) = 0
or c2 = a2 (1 + m2).

Question 4.
A person on tour has ₹ 360 for his expenses. If he extends his tour for 4 days, he has to cut down his daily expenses by ₹ 3. Find the original duration of the tour.
Answer:
Let, original duration of tour = x days
Expenditure on tour = ₹ 360
So, expenditure per day = ₹ \(\frac{360}{x}\)
According to 1st condition,
Duration of extended tour = (x + 4) days
Expenditure per day = ₹ \(\frac{360}{x+4}\)
According to 2nd condition,
\(\frac{360}{x}-\frac{360}{x+4}\) = 3
360 (x + 4) – 360x = 3x (x + 4)
360x + 1440 – 360x = 3 (x2 + 4x)
x2 + 4x – 480 = 0, S = 4
x2 + 24x – 20x – 480 = 0, P = – 480
x(x + 24) – 20 (x + 24) = 0
(x + 24) (x – 20) = 0
Either x + 24 = 0 or x – 20 = 0
x = – 24 or x = 20
∵ x cannot be negative so, x = 20
Hence, original duration of tour has 20 days.

Question 5.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1 m less than twice the shortest side. If the third side is 1 m more than the shortest side, find the sides of the triangle.
Answer:
Let, shortest side of triangle = x m
Hypotenuse of triangle = (2x – 1) m
Third side of triangle = (x + 1) m By
Pythagoras theorem,
(Hyp.)2 = (Base)2 + (Alt.)2
(2x – 1)2 = (x + 1)2 + (x)2
4x2 + 1 – 4x = x2 + 1 + 2x + x2
2x2 – 6x = 0
2x (x – 3) = 0
Either 2x = 0 or x – 3 = 0
x = 0 or x = 3
But side cannot be zero, so . x = 3
∴ Shortest side = x = 3 m
Hypotenuse = (2x – 1) = [2 (3) – 1] = 5 m
Third side = x + 1 = (3 + 1) = 4 m.
