Question 15

Q15: Solve for \(x\) in the quadratic equation: \[ 2x^2 - 7x + 3 = 0 \]

Solution:

We are solving: \[ 2x^2 - 7x + 3 = 0 \] Using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}, \text{ where } a = 2, b = -7, c = 3. \] Substitute values: \[ x = \frac{-(-7) \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2 - 4(2)(3)}}{2(2)} = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 - 24}}{4} = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{25}}{4}. \] \[ x = \frac{7 + 5}{4} \text{ or } \frac{7 - 5}{4}. \] Roots: \[ x = 3 \text{ or } x = 0.5. \]

Question 16

Q16: If \(x + \frac{1}{x} = 3\), find the value of \(x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}\).

Solution:

We are given: \[ x + \frac{1}{x} = 3. \] To find \(x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}\), use the identity: \[ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^3 - 3\left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right). \] Substitute \(x + \frac{1}{x} = 3\): \[ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = 3^3 - 3(3) = 27 - 9 = 18. \]

Trigonometry

Q17 Solution: Using \( \tan \theta = \frac{\text{height}}{\text{distance}} \): \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{h}{50} \implies h = 50 \times \sqrt{3} = 86.6 \, \text{meters}. \]

Q18 Solution: Using \( \tan 30^\circ = \frac{h}{100} \): \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{h}{100} \implies h = \frac{100}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 33.33 \, \text{meters}. \]

Modern Math

Q19 Solution: Arrangements in a circle: \((n - 1)!\). For \(n = 5\): \[ (5 - 1)! = 4! = 24. \]

DI Solution:

Given that the Rent percentage is 20% of Ravi's monthly income and its value is ₹12,000, we calculate the total monthly income using the formula:

\[ \text{Monthly Income} = \frac{\text{Rent Value} \times 100}{\text{Rent Percentage}}. \]

Substitute the given values:

\[ \text{Monthly Income} = \frac{12,000 \times 100}{20}. \]

Simplify:

\[ \text{Monthly Income} = \frac{1,200,000}{20} = 60,000. \]

Final Answer: Ravi's monthly income is ₹60,000.

Correct Option: (a) ₹60,000
