Class 10 Maths Chapter 4 Exercise 4.3 Quadratic Equations NCERT Solution

Question1

Find the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations. If the real roots exist, find them:

(i) $$2x^{2}– 3x + 5 = 0$$

Answer

$$2x^{2}-3x+5=0$$

$$\therefore D = b^{2}-4ac$$

   $$=(-3)^{2}-4\times 2 \times 5$$

   $$=9-40 = -31$$

$$\because D < 0$$, So the equation has no real roots

(ii) $$3x^{2}– 4\sqrt{3}x + 4 = 0$$

Answer

$$3x^{2}-4\sqrt{3}x+4=0$$

  $$\therefore D=(-4\sqrt{3})^{2}-4\times 3 \times 4$$

    $$=48-48=0$$

$$\because D=0$$, So the equation has two equal real roots.

(iii) $$2x^{2} – 6x + 3 = 0$$

Answer

$$2x^{2}-6x+3=0$$

$$\therefore D=(-6)^{2}-4\times 2 \times 3$$

    $$=36-24=12$$

$$\therefore$$ D > 0, So the equation has two distinct real roots.

Question2

Find the values of k for each of the following quadratic equations, so that they have two equal roots.

(i) $$ 2x^{2}+ kx + 3 = 0$$

Answer

$$2x^{2}+kx+3=0$$

$$\because$$ Roots of equation are equal

$$\therefore D = 0$$

⇒ $$b^{2}-4ac=0$$

⇒ $$K^{2}-4\times2\times3=0$$

⇒ $$K^{2}=24$$

⇒ $$K=2\sqrt{6}$$

(ii) $$kx (x – 2) + 6 = 0$$

Answer

$$kx(x-2)+6=0$$

⇒  $$kx^{2}-2kx+6=0$$

$$\therefore D = 0$$

⇒  $$4k^{2}-24k=0$$

⇒  $$4k(k-6)=0$$

$$\therefore k=0$$ and $$k=6$$

Question3

Is it possible to design a rectangular mango grove whose length is twice its breadth, and the area is 800 $$m^{2}$$? If so, find its length and breadth.

Answer

Let breadth of groove be x m

then length of groove = 2x m

$$\therefore$$ Area of groove = 800 $$m^{2}$$

⇒  $$2x\times x=800$$

⇒  $$x^{2}=400$$

⇒  $$x=\pm20$$

$$\because$$ Breadth can’t be negative

So, Breadth = x = 20m

    length = 2x = 40m

$$\therefore$$ Yes, it is possible to design a rectangular many groove

Question4

Is the following situation possible? If so, determine their present ages. The sum of the ages of two friends is 20 years. Four years ago, the product of their ages in years was 48.

Answer

Let the present age of $$1^{st}$$ friend Be x years

then the present age of $$2^{nd}$$ friend = $$(20-x)$$ years

A/Q,

     4 year ago

$$1^{st}$$ friend = $$x-4$$

$$2^{nd}$$ friend age = $$(20 – x – 4)$$ = $$16 – x$$

$$\therefore (x-4)(16-x)=48$$

⇒  $$16x-x^{2}-64+4x=48$$

⇒  $$20x-x^{2}=48+64$$

⇒  $$x^{2}-20x+112=0$$

$$D=(20)^{2}-4\times 12$$

    $$=400-448 = -48$$

$$\because D<0$$, the roots of equation are not real

$$\therefore$$ The following situation is not possible

Question5

Is it possible to design a rectangular park of perimeter 80 m and area 400 $$m^{2}$$? If so, find its length and breadth.

Answer

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

Area of rectangle = $$length\times breadth$$

Let the length of park be x

then the breadth of park = $$\frac{80}{2}-x$$ = $$40-x$$

According to question,

  $$x\times (40-x) = 400m^{2}$$

⇒  $$40x-x^{2}=400$$

⇒  $$x^{2}-40x+400=0$$

⇒  $$x^{2}-20x-20x+400=0$$

⇒  $$x(x-20)-20(x-20)=0$$

⇒  $$(x-20)(x-20) = 0$$

⇒  $$x-20=0$$

⇒  $$x=20$$

$$\therefore$$ length of park = x = 20m

    breadth of park = 40 – 20 = 20m

$$\therefore$$ Yes, this design is possible
