10th Maths Unit Exercise 3 Question 1.
Solve 1/3 (x + y – 5) = y – z = 2x – 11 = 9 – (x + 2 z).
Solution:
Given

3z = 3 ⇒ z = 1
(3) becomes, 3x + 2 = 20 ⇒ 3x = 20 – 2 = 18
x = 18/3 = 6
(1) becomes, 6 – 2y + 3(1) = 5 ⇒ 9 – 2y = 5
⇒ 9 – 5 = 2y ⇒ 2y = 4
∴ y = 4/2 = 2
∴ Solution set is {6, 2, 1}

Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Exercise 3.1 Question 2.
One hundred and fifty students are admitted to a school. They are distributed over three sections A, B and C. If 6 students are shifted from section A to section C, the sections will have equal number of students. If 4 times of students of section C exceeds the number of students of section A by the number of students in section B, find the number of students in the three sections.
Solution:
Let the students in section A, B, C be a, b, c, respectively.

10th Maths Unit Exercise 2 Question 3.
In a three-digit number, when the tens and the hundreds digit are interchanged the new number is 54 more than three times the original number. If 198 is added to the number, the digits are reversed. The tens digit exceeds the hundreds digit by twice as that of the tens digit exceeds the unit digit. Find the original number.
Solution:
Let the three digits numbers be 100a +10b + c.
100b + 10a + c = 3(100a + 10b + c) + 54 ………. (1)
100a + 106 + c + 198 = 100c + 106 + a ……… (2)
(b – a) = 2(b – c) ……… (3)
(1) ⇒ 100b + 10a + c = 300a + 30b + 3c + 54
⇒ 290a – 70b + 2c = -54
(2) ⇒ 99a – 99c = -198 ⇒ a – c = -2
⇒ a = c – 2
(3) ⇒ a + b – 2c = 0 ⇒ a + b = 2c
⇒ b = 2c – c + 2
⇒ b = c + 2
Substituting a, b in (1)
290(c – 2) – 70 (c + 2) + 2c = -54
290c – 580 – 70c – 140 + 2c = -54
222c = 666 ⇒ c = 3
a = 1, 6 = 5
∴ The number is 153.

10th Maths Unit Exercise Solutions Question 4.
Find the least common multiple of
xy (k² + 1) + k(x² + y²) and
xy(k² – 1) + k (x² – y²)
Answer:
xy (k² + 1) + k(x² + y²) = k²xy + xy + kx² + ky²
= (k²xy + kx²) + (ky² + xy)
= kx(ky + x) + y (ky + x)
= (ky + x) (kx + y)
xy (k² – 1) + k(x² – y²) = k²xy – xy + kx² – ky²
= (k²xy + kx²) – xy – ky²
= kx(ky + x) -y (ky + x)
= (ky + x) (kx – y)
L.C.M. = (ky + x) (kx + y) (kx – y)
= (ky + x)(k²x² – y²)
The least common multiple is
(ky + x) (k²x² – y²)

Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Solution Question 5.
Find the GCD of the following by division algorithm 2x⁴ + 13.x³ + 21 x² + 23x + 7, x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1, x² + 2x + 1.
Solution:
2x⁴ + 13x³ + 27x² + 23x + 7,
x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1, x² + 2x + 1.
By division algorithm, first divide

∴ (x + 1)² is G.C.D of x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1 and x² + 2x + 1.
Next let us divide
2x⁴ + 13x³ + 27x² + 23x + 7 by x² + 2x + 1

∴ G.C.D of 2x⁴ + 13x³ + 21 x² + 23x + 7, x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1, x² + 2x + 1 is (x + 1)².

Arul, Ravi and Ram working together can clean a store in 6 hours. Working alone, Ravi takes twice as long to clean the store as Arul does. Ram needs three times as long as Arul does. How long would it take each if they are working alone?
Solution:
Let Aral’s speed of working be x
Let Ravi’s speed of working be y
Let Ram’s speed of working be z
given that they are working together. ,
Let V be the quantum of work, x + y + z = w/6 …………. (1)
Also given that Ravi takes twice the time as Aral for finishing the work.

Also Ram takes 3 times the time as Aral for finishing the work.
∴ w/z = 3 × w/x
∴ x = 3z ∴ z = x/3
Substitute (2) and (3) in (1),

Samacheerkalvi.Guru 10th Maths Question 10.
Solve√ y+1+√ 2y−5= 3.
Solution:
Squaring both sides

9y² – 78y + 169 = 4 (y + 1)(2y – 5)
9y² – 78y + 169 = 4 (2y² + 2y – 5y – 5)
9y² – 78y + 169 = 8y² + 8y – 20y – 20
9y² – 78y + 169 – 8y² + 12y + 20 = 0
y² – 66y + 189 = 0
y² – 63y – 3y + 189 = 0
y(y – 63) – 3(y – 63) = 0
(y – 63)(y – 3) = 0
y = 63, 3

Samacheer Kalvi 3rd Maths Book Solutions Question 11.
A boat takes 1.6 hours longer to go 36 kms up a river than down the river. If the speed of the water current is 4 km per hr, what is the speed of the boat in still water?
Solution:
Let the speed of boat in still water be ‘v’

⇒ 36(v + 4) – 36(v – 4) = 8/5 (v – 4) (v + 4)
⇒ 36v + 144 – 36v + 144 = 8/5 (v² – 4v + 4v – 16)
⇒ 288 = 8/5 v² – 128/5 ⇒ 8v² – 128 = 1440
⇒ 8v² = 1568 ⇒ v² = 196 v = ±14
∴ Speed of the boat = 14 km/hr. (∵ speed cannot be -ve)

10th Maths Example Sums Question 12.
Is it possible to design a rectangular park of perimeter 320 m and area 4800 m²? If so find its length and breadth.
Solution:
Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be lm and bm
Given 2(1 + b)
⇒ l + b = 160 ………. (1)
Also l b = 4800

∴ Length and breadth of the rectangular park is 120m and 40 m

10th Maths Guide Examples Question 13.
At t minutes past 2 pm, the time needed to 3 pm is 3 minutes less than t2/4 Find t.
Solution:
60 – t = t2/4 – 3
⇒ t² – 12 = 240 – 4t
⇒ t² + 4t – 252 = 0
⇒ t² + 18t – 14t – 252 = 0
⇒ t(t + 18) – 14(t + 18) = 0
⇒ (t + 18) (t – 14) = 0
∴ t = 14 or t = -18 is not possible.

Question 14.
The number of seats in a row is equal to the total number of rows in a hall. The total number of seats in the hall will increase by 375 if the number of rows is doubled and the number of seats in each row is reduced by 5. Find the number of rows in the hall at the beginning.
Solution:
Let the no of seats in each row be x

⇒ 2x² – 10x = x² + 375
⇒ x² – 10x – 375 = 0
⇒ x² – 25x + 15x – 375 = 0
⇒ x (x – 25) + 15 (x – 25) = 0
⇒ (x – 25) (x + 15) = 0
⇒ x = 25, x = -15, x > 0
∴ 25 rows are in the hall.

Question 15.
If a and b are the roots of the polynomial f(x) = x² – 2x + 3, find the polynomial whose roots are
(i) α + 2, β + 2
(ii) α−1/α+1,β−1/β+1
Solution:

(i) α + 2, β + 2 are the roots (given)
Sum of the roots = α + 2 + β + 2
= α + β + 4
= 2 + 4 = 6
Product of the roots = (α + 2) (β + 2)
= αβ + 2α + 2β + 4
= αβ + 2(α + β) + 4
= 3 + 2 × 2 + 4
= 3 + 4 + 4 = 11
∴ The required equation = x² – 6x + 11 = 0.

⇒ 3x² – 2x + 1 = 0

Question 16.
If -4 is a root of the equation
x² + px – 4 = 0 and if the equation
x² + px + q = 0 has equal roots, find the values of p and q.
Answer:
Let p(x) = x² + px – 4
– 4 is the root of the equation
P(-4) = 0
16 – 4p – 4 = 0
-4p + 12 = 0
-4p = -12
p = 12/4 = 3
The equation x² + px + q = 0 has equal roots
x² + 3 x + q = 0
Here a = 1, b = 3, c = q
since the roots are real and equal
b² – 4 ac = 0
3² – 4(1)(q) = 0
9 – 4q = 0
9 = 4q
q = 9/4
The value of p = 3 and q = 9/4
