Multiple choice Questions


Question 3.
Find a natural number whose square diminished by 84 is thrice the 8 more of given number
a. 21
b. 13
c.11
d. 12
Solution (d)
$x^2 -84=3(x+8)$
$x^2-3x-108=0$
x= 12 or -9
So answer is 12

Question 4.
The roots of the quadratic equation
$x^2 +14x+40=0$ are
a.(4,10)
b.(-4,10)
c.(-4,-10)
d.(4,-10)
Solution
$x^2 +14x+40=0$
$x^2 + 4x + 10x +40=$
$x(x+4) + 10(x+4)=0$
$(x+4)(x+10)=0$
x=-4 or -10
Answer (c)

Question 5.
The equation
$x^5 +x+20=0$
a. is a quadratic equation
b. is not a quadratic equation
Solution
It is not a quadratic equation
Question 6.
The roots of the quadratic equation
$x^2+2x+5=0$
a. are real
b. are not real
Solution (b)
$b^2 - 4ac = 4 -20 =-16$
Answer is (b)

Question 7.
Which one of the following is not a quadratic equation?
a. $(x + 2)^2= 2(x + 3)$
b. $x^2 + 3x = (-1) (1 - 3x)^2$
c. $(x + 2) (x - 1) = x^2 - 2x - 5$
d. $x^3 - x^2 + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)^3$
Solution (b)
We can expand each of these expression and compare with $ax^2 + bx+x=0$.
Answer (c)

Question 8.
Find the roots of
$6x^2- \sqrt {2}x - 2 = 0$ by the factorisation of the corresponding quadratic polynomial.
a. $-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{3},\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}$
b. $-\frac {\sqrt {1}}{3},\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}$
c. $-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{3},\frac {\sqrt {2}}{5}$
d. None of the these
Solution (b)
$6x^2- \sqrt {2}x - 2 = 0$
$6x^2 + 3 \sqrt {2}x -2\sqrt {2}x - 2 = 0$
$ 3x(2x - \sqrt {2}) - \sqrt {2}(2x - \sqrt {2})=0$
$(3x- \sqrt {2})(2x - \sqrt {2})=0$
or x = $-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{3},\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}$
Answer (a)

Question 9.
Had Ram scored 10 more marks in her mathematics test out of 30 marks, 9 times these marks would have been the square of her actual marks. How many marks did she get in the test?
a. 15 marks
b. 10 marks
c. 12 marks
d. 20 marks
Solution (b)
$9 (x +10) = x^2$
$x^2 - 9x - 90 = 0$
$(x + 6) (x -15) = 0$
Therefore, x = - 6 or x =15
Answer (a)

Match the Column

Question 10.
Match the roots with the quadratic equations
Quadratic equation class 10 extra questions
Solution a -> iii, vi
b-> iii, vii
c -> iii, v
d -> iv, viii
e. i, ii

Long Answer type

Question 11.
Find the roots of the quadratic equation using factorization technique
a. $x^2-3x-10=0$
b. $x^2 -11x+30=0$
Solution
a.
$x^2-3x-10=0$
$x(x-5) +2(x-5)=0$
$(x+2)(x-5)=0$
So roots are x=-2 and 5
b. Roots are 5 and 6

Question 12.
Find the roots of the quadratic equation using square method
a. $x^2 +4x-5=0$
b. $2x^2-7x+3=0$
Solution
a.
$(x+ \frac {4}{2})^2 -(\frac {4}{2})^2 -5=0$
$(x+2)^2-9=0$
$(x+2)^2=9$
$x+2=\pm 3$
x=1 or -5
b.
$(x-\frac {7}{4})^2 -(\frac {7}{4})^2 +3/2=0$
$(x-\frac {7}{4})^2= \frac {49}{16} - \frac {3}{2}=0$
$(x-\frac {7}{4})^2=\frac {25}{16}$
$x-\frac {7}{4}=\pm \frac {5}{4}$
or
x=1/2 or 3
