Q.17. In a competition, one mark is awarded for every correct answer and
half mark is deducted for every wrong answer. Jayanthi answered 120
questions and got 90 marks. How many questions did she answer correctly?
Ans: Let the number of questions correctly answered be x
Therefore, number of questions incorrectly answered will be 120 - x.
According to the given condition,
1× x – (1/2)(120-x) = 90
⇒ x - 60 +(1/2)( x = 90
⇒ (3/2) x = 150

Þ Any algebraic expression having non zero integral
power (whole number) is called polynomial.
Þ If p(x) is a polynomial in x, the highest power of x in p(x) is
called the degree of the polynomial p(x).
Þ A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial. For
example, 2x – 3, √3x+1,y +√3
Þ A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial.
The name ‘quadratic’ has been derived from the word ‘quadrate’, which means
‘square’. 2x2 + 3x
+ 2 ,y2 + 2
Þ Any quadratic polynomial in x is of the form ax2 +
bx + c, where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
Þ A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial e.g.
2 – x3, x3, √2 x3.
Þ General form of a cubic polynomial is ax3 +
bx2 + c x + d, where, a, b, c, d are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
Þ If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and if k is any real number, then
the value obtained by replacing x by k in p(x), is called the value of p(x) at
x = k, and is denoted by p(k). A real number k is said to be a zero of a
polynomial p(x), if p (k) = 0.
Þ Thus, the zero of a linear polynomial is related to its
coefficients because if k is a zero of p(x)
= ax + b, then p (k) = a
k + b = 0, i.e., k = -b/a
Þ Zero of a linear polynomial ax + b is −b/a
ÞThe graph of y = ax + b is a straight line like the graph of y =
ax + b is a straight line passing through the points (– 2, –1) and (2, 7) and
straight line straight line intersects the x-axis at exactly one point
ÞThe linear polynomial ax + b, a ≠ 0, has exactly one zero,
namely, the x-coordinate of the point (-b/a , 0) where the graph of y = ax + b
intersects the x-axis.
Þ The graph of equation y = ax+ + b
x + c has one of the two shapes either open upwards like È (a >
0 ) or open downwards like Ç ( a < 0) . These curves are
called parabolas.
Þ The zeroes of a quadratic polynomial ax2 +
bx + c, a ≠ 0, are precisely the x-coordinates of the points where the parabola
representing y = ax2 + bx + c intersects the x-axis.
Þ In general, given a polynomial p(x) of degree n, the graph
of y = p(x) intersects the x- axis at atmost n[n or
less than n] points.
Þ A polynomial p(x) of degree n has at most n zeroes.
Þ if α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic
polynomial p(x) = ax2 + b
x + c, a ≠ 0, then you know that x – α
and x – β are the factors of p(x).
Therefore, ax2 + bx + c = a(x – α) (x – β)= ax2 – a(α + β)x + a α β]
Therefore, ax2 + bx + c = a(x – α) (x – β)= ax2 – a(α + β)x + a α β]
Comparing the coefficients of x2, x and
constant terms on both the sides, we get , a = k, b =
– k(α + β) and c = kαβ.
This
gives
α + β = -b/a ; α β = c/a
Þ Relationship between the zeroes of a cubic polynomial and
its coefficients of
ax3 + bx2 + c x + d= a(x-a)(x-b)(x-g) = ax3 – a(a+b+g)x2 + a(ab +bg+ga) - aabg
Comparing the coefficients of terms on both the sides, we
get, α + β + γ = –b/a; α
β + β γ + γ α =c/a; α β γ =– d/a
Þ Division algorithm states that given any polynomial p(x) and any non-zero polynomial g(x), there are polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that p(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x), where r(x) = 0 or degree r(x) < degree g(x).

Q.16. It is true to
say that for k= 2 the pair of linear equation 3x+y = 1;(2k-1)x + (k-1)y = 2k+1
has no solution. Justify
Ans: Given system of equations is:
3x+y=1 and
(2k-1)x+(k-1)y=2k+1
They can be rewrite as:
3x + y - 1 = 0 and
(2k-1)x + (k-1)y - (2k+1) = 0
We know that, for the given system to have no solution, a1/a2 =
b1/b2 ¹ c1/c2
Þ 3/(2k-1) = 1/(k-1)⇒
⇒ 3k - 3 = 2k - 1
⇒ k = 3-1
⇒ k = 2
Hence, for k = 2, the given system of equation will have no solution.
Ans: Let the number of questions correctly answered be x
Therefore, number of questions incorrectly answered will be 120 - x.
According to the given condition,
1× x – (1/2)(120-x) = 90
⇒ x - 60 +(1/2)( x = 90
⇒ (3/2) x = 150
⇒ x= 100
