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.
Answer:
Let the marks scored by Shefali in Maths be ‘x’ and marks scored in English by Shefali will be (30 – x).
(x + 2) (30 – x – 3) = 210
(x + 2)(27 – x) = 210
27x – x2 + 54 – 2x = 210
-x2 + 25x + 54 = 210
-x2 + 25x + 54 – 210 = 0
-x2 + 25x – 156 = 0
x2 – 25x + 156 = 0
x2 – 13x – 12x + 156 = 0
x(x – 13) – 12 (x- 13) = 0
(x – 13) (x – 12) = 0
If x – 13 = 0, then x = 13
If x – 12 = 0, then x = 12
∴ x = 13 OR x = 12
∴ Shefali scores in Maths, x = 13
Shefali’s marks in English = 30 – x
= 30 – 13
= 17.

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.
Answer:
Let the shortest side of rectangular field is x.
The diagonal of rectangular field is x + 60
The longest side of a rectangular field be x + 30.
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations Ex 10.3 19
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 [By Pythagoras theorem]
(x + 60)2 = (x)2 + (x + 30)2
x2 + 120x + 3600
= x2 + x2 + 60x + 900
x2 + 120x + 3600
= 2x2 + 60x + 900
2x2 – x2 + 60x – 120x + 900 – 3600 = 0
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations Ex 10.3 20
x2 – 60x – 2700 = 0
x2 – 90x + 30x – 2700 = 0
x (x – 90) + 30 (x – 90) = 0
(x – 90) (x + 30) = 0
x – 90 = 0 (or) x + 30 = 0
x = 90 (or) x = – 30
Length is always Positive.
∴ Shorter side of Rectangular field is 90 m
∴ Longest side of Rectangular field = x + 30 = 90 + 30 = 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.
Answer:
Let x and y be the larger and smaller numbers
(x)2 – y2 = 180 → (1)
y2 = 8x → (2)
Put equation (2) in equation (1)
x2 – 8x = 180
x2 – 8x – 180 = 0
x2 – 18x+ 10x- 180 = 0
x(x – 18) + 10 (x – 18) = 0
(x – 18) (x + 10) = 0
x – 18 = 0 and x + 10 = 0
x = 18 (or) x = – 10
∴ Larger number is 18
Smaller number y2 = 8x
y2 = 8 × 18
y2 = 144
y2 = \(\sqrt{144}\)
y = ± 12
The pair numbers be 18 and 12 (or) 18 and – 12.

Question 8.
A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train.
Answer:
Let the uniform speed of a train be x km/hr. Then, time taken to cover 360 km = \(\frac{360}{x}\)
New increased speed = (x + 5) km/hr.
time taken to cover 360 km = \(\frac{360}{x+5}\)
difference in time = 1
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations Ex 10.3 21
360x + 1800 – 360x = x2 + 5x
x2 + 5x – 1800 = 0
x2 + 45x – 40x- 1800 = 0
x (x + 45) – 40 (x + 45) = 0
(x + 45) (x – 40) = 0
x + 45 = 0 (or) x – 40 = 0
x = – 45 (or) x = 40
Speed of fife 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.
Answer:
Let the time taken by the smaller tap to fill the tank be x hrs
The time taken by the larger tap to fill the tank be x – 10 hrs.
Part of water filled by smaller tap in
1hr = \(\frac{1}{x}\) and part of water filled by larger tap in 1 hr = \(\frac{1}{x-10}\)
Part of water filled by two taps in 9\(\frac{3}{8}\)hrs = \(\frac{75}{8}\)
Part of water filled by two taps in 1 hr is \(\frac{75}{8}\) hrs
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations Ex 10.3 22
75 (2x – 10) = 8 (x2 – 10x)
150x – 750 = 8x2 – 80x
8x2 – 80x – 150x + 750 = 0
8x2 – 230x + 750 = 0 divide by 2
4x2 – 115x + 375 = 0
4x2 – 100x – 15x + 375 = 0
4x (x – 25) – 15 (x – 25) = 0
(x – 25) (4x – 15) = 0
x – 25 = 0 & 4x – 15 = 0
x = 25 and 4x = 15
x = \(\frac{15}{4}\)
∴ x = 25
∴ Smaller tap takes 25 hours
Larger tap takes = x – 10 = 25 – 10
= 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.
Answer:
Let the speed of passenger train be x km/hr and speed of express train be (x + 11) km/hr
Distance between two stations d = 132 km
Time taken by passenger train
t1 = \(\frac{d}{s}\)
t1 = \(\frac{132}{x}\)
Time taken by express train t2 = \(\frac{132}{x+11}\)
difference in time is 1 hr
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations Ex 10.3 24
132x + 1452 – 132x = x2 + 10x
x2 + 10x – 1452 = 0
x2 + 44x – 33x – 1452 = 0
x(x + 44) – 33 (x + 44) = 0
(x + 44) (x – 33) = 0
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations Ex 10.3 25
x + 44 = 0 (or) x – 33 = 0
x = – 44 (or) x = 33
x = 33
Speed of Passenger train = 33 km/hr
Speed of express train = x + 11
= 33 + 11
= 44 km/hr

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.
Answer:
Let ‘x’ be the length of the side of first square and ‘y’ be the length of side of second square.
∴ x2 + y2 = 468 → (i)
then ‘x’ be the length of bigger square
4x – 4y = 24 divide by 4
x – y = 6
x = 6 + y → (ii)
Put equation (ii) in equation (i)
(6 + y)2 + y2 = 468
36 + 12y + y2 + y2 = 468
2y2 + 12y + 36 – 468 = 0
2y2 + 12y – 432 = 0 divide by 2
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations Ex 10.3 26
y2 + 6y – 216 = 0
y2 + 18y – 12y – 216 = 0
y (y + 18) – 12 (y + 18) = 0
(y + 18) (y – 12) = 0
y + 18 = 0 (or) y – 12 = 0
y = – 18 (or) y = 12
y = 12 ∴ sides can’t be negative.
Therefore x = y + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18
sides of a square are 12m and 18m.
