Solution. Note that in a quadratic equation with rational co-efficients, surd roots occur
in conjugate pairs. = 2 - 3 is the other root.

1. The sum of the squares of two positive integers is 208. If the square of the larger
number is 18 times the smaller, find the numbers.
Solution. Let the smaller number = x ; Square of larger number = 18x
Given, 2 + 18x = 208 = 2 + 18x 208 = 0
= (x 8) (x + 26) = 0 =x = 8, -26 = x = 8
Square of larger number = 18x = (18) (8) = 144
= Larger number = 144 = 12 and smaller number = x = 8
2. If -5 is root of quadratic equation 2 2 + 2px 15 = 0 and the quadratic equation

5. A person on tour has $360 for his expenses. If the extends his tour for 4 days, he
has to cut down his daily expenses by $3. Find the original duration of the tour.

Copyright 2014-2016 Homework1.com, All rights reserved

Homework1
Solution. Let the original duration of the tour be x days.
total expenditure on tour = $360 expenditure per day = $

360

Duration of the extended tour = (x + 4) days

360

expenditure per day according to new schedule = $+4

Since the daily expenses are cut down by $3.

= 3 = 2 + 4x = 480 = 2 + 4x 480 = 0

= 2 + 24x 20x 480 = 0 = x (x + 24) -20 (x + 24) = 0

= (x 20) (x + 24) = 0 = x 20 = 0 or, x + 24 = 0 =x = 20 or, x = -24
But, the number of days cannot be negative. So, x = 20
Hence, the original duration of the tour was of 20 days.

6. (a) A shopkeeper buys a number of books for $80. If he had bought 4 more
books for the same amount, each book would have cost $12 less. How many
books did he buy?

Homework1
(b) A shopkeeper buys a number of books for $1200. If he had bought 10 more books
for the same amount, each book would have cost him $20 less. How many books did he
buy ?
Solution. (a) Let number of books bought be x. Then, Cost of x books = $80
= Cost of one book = $

80

If the number of books bought is x + 4, then Cost of one book = $

80
+4

It is given that the cost of one book is reduced by one rupee

80

= 2 + 4x = 320 = 0 = 2 + 20x 16x 320 = 0 = x (x + 20) 16(x + 20) = 0

= (x + 20) (x 16) = 0 =x = -20 or, x = 16 = x = 16

[ x cannot be negative]

Hence, the number of books is 16.

(b) Similar to Part (a) Ans. 20.
7. If the price of a book is reduced by $5, a person can buy 5 more books for $300. Find
the original list price of the book.
Solution. Let the original list price of the book be $ x number of books bought for
300

$300 =

Reduced list price of the book = $(x -5) number of books bought for $300 =
By the given condition,

0
= x 20 = 0 or, x + 15 = 0 = x = 20, x = -15 =x = 20 [ x = -15 is not possible]
Hence, the list price of the books = $20
8. A factory kept increasing is doubled in the last two year. Find the percentage if it is
known that the output is doubled in the last two years.
Solution. Let p be the initial production (2 years ago), and let the increase in product
every year be x%. Then,

Product at the end of first year = P +

9. The difference of the ages of Sohrab and his father is 30 years. If the difference of the
squares of their ages is 1560, find their ages.
Solution. Let y, x be the ages of Soharb and his father respectively
x y = 30

(1)

and 2 - 2 = 1560

(2)

Divide (2) by (1), we get

2 2

1560
30

= x + y = 52

(1) + (2) gives 2x = 82 =x = 41.

11

(3)
(3) (1) gives 2y = 22 = y =

Hence required ages are 41 years, 11 years.
