(iii) A bus covers a certain distance with uniform speed. If the speed of the bus
would have been increased by 15 km/h, it would have taken two hours
less to cover the same distance and if the speed of the bus would have
been decreased by 5 km/h, it would have taken one hour more to cover
the same distance. Find the distance covered by the bus.

(ii) x2 + 2x + 1 = 0, x = 1
Putting x = 1 in L.H.S. we get,
L.H.S. = ( 1)2 + 2 ( 1) + 1
= 12+1
= 22
= 0
= R.H.S.
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Thus equation is satisfied.
So 1 is the root of the given quadratic equation. 1
(iii) 2x2 + x + 1 = 0
Comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0 we have a = 2, b = 1, c = 1
= b2 4ac

A.3. Solve ANY THREE of the following :
(i) Since the taxi fare increases by Rs. 2 every kilometer
after the first, the successive taxi fares form an A.P.
The taxi fare for first kilometer (a) = Rs. 14
Increase in taxi fare in every kilometer after first kilometer (d) = 2 1
No. of kilometers covered by taxi (n) = 10
Taxi fare for 10 kilometers = t10 = ?
tn = a + (n + 1) d
t 10 = a + (10 1) d 1
t 10 = 14 + 9 (2)
t 10 = 14 + 18
t 10 = 32
Taxi fare for ten kilometers is Rs. 32. 1
(ii) z2 + 6z 8 = 0
z2 + 6z = 8 .... (i)

= (3) 2
= 9
Adding 9 to both sides of (i), we get,
z2 + 6z + 9 = 8+9
(z + 3)2 = 17
Taking square root on both the sides we get, 1
z+3 = 17
z = 3 + 17
z = 3 + 17 or z = 3 17
3 + 17 and 3 17 are the roots of the given quadratic 1
equations.

(iii) The natural numbers from 1 to 140 that are divisible by 4 are as
follows : 4, 8, 12, 16, .............., 140
These numbers from an A.P. with a = 4, d = t2 t1 = 8 4 = 4 1
Let, 140 be the nth term of A.P.
t n = 140
t n = a + (n 1) d
140= 4 + (n 1) 4
140= 4 + 4n 4
140= 4n
140
n =
4
n = 35 1
140 is 35 term of A.P.
We have to find sum of 35 terms i.e. S35,

S 35 = [2 (4) + (35 1) 4] 1

S 35 = [8 + 136)

S 35 = [144]

S 35 = 2520
Sum of natural numbers from 1 to 140 that are divisible by 4 1
is 2520.
= 0
5x2 + 20x + 30 1455 = 0 1
5x2 + 20x 1425 = 0
Dividing throughout by 5 we get,
x2 + 4x 285 = 0
x2 15x + 19x 285 = 0
x (x 15) + 19 (x 15) = 0
(x 15) (x + 19) = 0
x 15 = 0 or x + 19 = 0 1
x = 15 or x = 19
x is a natural number x 19 1
Hence x = 15
x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16 x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
x + 3 = 15 + 3 = 18 x + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19
The required five consecutive natural numbers are 15, 16, 17, 1
18 and 19 respectively.
(iii) Let the speed of bus be x km/hr. and time taken be y hrs.
Distance = Speed Time
Distance = xy km
According to the first condition,
(x + 15) (y 2) = xy
x (y 2) + 15 (y 2) = xy
xy 2x + 15y 30 = xy
2x + 15y = 30 ......(i) 1
According to the second condition,
(x 5) (y + 1) = xy
x (y + 1) 5 (y + 1) = xy
xy + x 5y 5 = xy
x 5y = 5 ......(ii)
Multiplying (ii) by 3 we get,
3x 15y = 15 ......(iii) 1
Adding (i) and (iii) we get,
2x + 15y = 30
3x 15y = 15
x = 45 1
Substituting x = 45 in (ii),
45 5y = 5
5y = 5 45
5y = 40
40
y = 5 1
y = 8
Distance = xy
= 45 8
= 360
Distance covered by bus is 360 km. 1
