Q11Written answer

Volume of a rectangular box (cuboid) with length = 2ab, breadth = 3ac and height = 2ac is

(a) 12a3bc2 (b) 12a3bc (c) 12a2bc (d) 2ab +3ac + 2ac

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(a) 12a3bc2

We know that, volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

Given, length = 2ab, breadth = 3ac, height = 2ac

= 2ab × 3ac × 2ac

= (2 × 3 × 2) × ab × ac × ac

= 12a3bc2

Q12Written answer

Product of 6a2 – 7b + 5ab and 2ab is

(a) 12a3b – 14ab2 + 10ab (b) 12a3b – 14ab2 + 10a2b2

(c) 6a2 – 7b + 7ab (d) 12a2b – 7ab2 + 10ab

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 12a3b – 14ab2 + 10a2b2

Now, we have to find the product of trinomial and monomial,

= (6a2 – 7b + 5ab) × 2ab

= (2ab × 6a2) – (2ab × 7b) + (2ab × 5ab)

= 12a3b – 14ab2 + 10a2b2

Q13Written answer

Square of 3x – 4y is

(a) 9x2 – 16y2 (b) 6x2 – 8y2

(c) 9x2 + 16y2 + 24xy (d) 9x2 + 16y2 – 24xy

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) 9x2 + 16y2 – 24xy

As per the condition in the question, (3x – 4y)2

The standard identity = (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

Where, a = 3x, b = 4y

Then,

(3x – 4y)2 = (3x)2 – (2 × 3x × 4y) + (4y)2

= 9x2 – 24xy + 16y2

Q14Written answer

Which of the following are like terms?

(a) 5xyz2, – 3xy2z (b) – 5xyz2, 7xyz2

(c) 5xyz2, 5x2yz (d) 5xyz2, x2y2z2

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) – 5xyz2, 7xyz2

Like the terms are formed from the same variables, and the powers of these variables are also the same. But coefficients of like terms need not be the same.

Q15Written answer

Coefficient of y in the term –y/3 is

(a) – 1 (b) – 3 (c) -1/3 (d) 1/3

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) -1/3

-y/3 can also be written as y × (-1/3)

So, the coefficient of y is -1/3

Q16Written answer

a2 – b2 is equal to

(a) (a – b)2 (b) (a – b) (a – b)

(c) (a + b) (a – b) (d) (a + b) (a + b)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) (a + b) (a – b)

(a2 – b2) = (a + b) (a – b) is one of the standard identities.

Q17Written answer

Common factor of 17abc, 34ab2, 51a2b is

(a) 17abc (b) 17ab (c) 17ac (d) 17a2b2c

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 17ab

The given factors can be written in expanded form as,

17abc = 17 × a × b × c

34ab2 = 2 × 17 × a × b × b

51a2b = 3 × 17 × a × a × b

So, common factors in the above are 17 × a × b

= 17ab

Q18Written answer

Square of 9x – 7xy is

(a) 81x2 + 49x2y2 (b) 81x2 – 49x2y2

(c) 81x2 + 49x2y2 –126x2y (d) 81x2 + 49x2y2 – 63x2y

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) 81x2 + 49x2y2 –126x2y

As per the condition in the question, (9x – 7xy)2

The standard identity = (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

Where, a = 9x, b = 7xy

Then,

(9x – 7xy)2 = (9x)2 – (2 × 9x × 7xy) + (7xy)2

= 81x2 – 126x2y + 49x2y2

Q19Written answer

Factorised form of 23xy – 46x + 54y – 108 is

(a) (23x + 54) (y – 2) (b) (23x + 54y) (y – 2)

(c) (23xy + 54y) (– 46x – 108) (d) (23x + 54) (y + 2)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(a) (23x + 54) (y – 2)

Factorised form of 23xy – 46x + 54y – 108 is = 23xy – (2 × 23x) + 54y – (2 × 54)

Take out the common factors,

= 23x (y – 2) + 54 (y – 2)

Again take out the common factor,

= (y – 2) (23x + 54)

Q20Written answer

Factorised form of r2 – 10r + 21 is

(a) (r – 1) (r – 4) (b) (r – 7) (r – 3)

(c) (r – 7) (r + 3) (d) (r + 7) (r + 3)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) (r – 7) (r – 3)

Factorised form of r2 – 10r + 21 is = r2 – 7r – 3r + 21

Take out the common factors,

= r (r – 7) – 3 (r – 7)

Again take out the common factor,

= (r – 7) (r – 3)
