⇒ 3n² + 3n = 16,200 – 600 n
⇒ 3n² + 603n – 16,200 = 0
Dividing by 3, we get,
⇒ n² + 201n – 5,400 = 0
⇒ n² + 225n – 24n – 5,400 = 0
⇒ n(n + 225) – 24 (n + 225) = 0
⇒ (n + 225) (n – 24) = 0
Either n + 225 = 0, then n = – 225 Which is not possible
or n – 24 = 0, then n = 24
Period = 24 months or 2 years.

(i) the sale proceeds
(ii) the number of ₹ 125 shares he buys.
(iii) the change in his annual income from dividend.
Solution:
(i) By investing ₹ 15, share bought = ₹ 10
By investing ₹ 4500, share bought = \(\frac { 10 }{ 15 }\) x 4500 = ₹ 3000
Total face value of ₹ 10 shares = ₹ 3000, Income = 8%
= \(\frac { 8 }{ 100 }\) x 3000 = ₹ 240
By selling Rs. 10 share money received = ₹ 30
By selling Rs. 3000 shares money = \(\frac { 30 }{ 10 }\) x 3000 = ₹ 9000
(ii) By investing ₹ 125, no. of share of ₹ 100 bought = 1
By investing ₹ 9000, no. of share of ₹ 100 bought = \(\frac { 1 }{ 125 }\) x 9000 = 72
No. of ₹ 125 shares bought = 72
(iii) By investing ₹ 125 in Rs. 100 share, income = ₹ 12
By investing ₹ 9000 in ₹ 100 share, income = \(\frac { 12 }{ 125 }\) x 9000 = ₹ 864

(ii) The profit earned including his dividend.
Solution:
Investment = ₹ 52000,
N.V. of 1 share = ₹ 100
M.V. of 1 share for 1 st year = ₹ 100 – 20 = ₹ 80
No. of shares = \(\frac { 52000 }{ 80 }\) = 650
(i) Annual dividend = \(\frac { 8 }{ 100 }\) x 650 x 100 = ₹ 5200
(ii) S.P of 1 share = ₹ 100 + 20 = ₹ 120
S.P. of 650 shares = ₹ 120 x 650 = ₹ 78000
C.P. of 650 shares = ₹ 100 x 650 = ₹ 65000
Profit = S.P. – C.P. = ₹ 78000 – ₹ 65000 = ₹ 13000
Profit including dividend = ₹ 13000 + ₹ 5200 = ₹ 18200

Solution:
F.V. = ₹ 100
(i) M. V. = ₹ 132,
no. of shares = 50
Investment = no. of shares x M.V. = 50 x 132 = ₹ 6600
(ii) Income per share = 7.5% of N.V.
= \(\frac { 75 }{ 10 x 100 }\) x 100 = ₹ 7.5
Annual incomes = 7.5 x 50 = ₹ 375
(iii) New annual income = 375 + 150 = ₹ 525
No. of shares = \(\frac { 525 }{ 7.5 }\) = 70
No. of extra share = 70 – 50 = 20

Solution:
In first case :
No. of shares sold = 400
Face value of each share = Rs. 20
Market value = Rs. 18
Income = 5%
Amount of his investment = Rs. 18 x 400 = Rs. 7,200
and amount of shares = Rs. 20 x 400 = Rs. 8000
In second case :
Market value of each share = Rs. 12
Face value of each share = Rs. 10
Rate of dividend = 7%
No. of shares purchased = \(\frac { 7200 }{ 12 }\) = 600
Face value of 600 shares = Rs. 10 x 600 = Rs. 6,000
Now, income in first case = Rs. 8000 x \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 }\) = Rs. 400
and income in second case = Rs. 6000 x \(\frac { 7 }{ 100 }\) = Rs. 420
Increase in income = Rs. 420 – 400 = Rs. 20

Solution:
A’s investment = Rs. 16,000
Face value of each share = Rs. 100
Market value of each share = Rs. 80
and rate of dividend = 3%
No. of shares purchased = \(\frac { 16000 }{ 80 }\) = 200
Amount of shares = 200 x Rs. 100 = Rs. 20,000
and amount of dividend = 20,000 x \(\frac { 3 }{ 100 }\) = Rs. 600
B’s investment = Rs. 16,000
Face value of each share = Rs. 10
and amount of dividend = Rs. 600
Rate of dividend = \(\frac { 600 }{ 16000 }\) x 100 = 3.75 %

Question 13.
A dealer buys an article at a discount of 30 % from the wholesaler, the marked price being ₹ 6,000. The dealer sells it to a shopkeeper at a discount of 10% on the marked price. If the rate of VAT is 6%, find :
(i) the price paid by the shopkeeper including the tax.
(ii) the VAT paid by the dealer. (2016)
Solution:
Market price of the article = ₹ 6000
A dealer buys an article at a discount of 30% from the wholesaler.
Price of the article which the dealer paid to the wholesaler = 6000 – 30% of 6000

Amount of the article inclusive of sales tax at which the dealer bought it
= ₹ 4200 + ₹ 252 = ₹ 4452
Dealer sells the article at a discount of 10% to the shopkeeper.
Price of the article which the shopkeeper paid to the dealer = ₹ 6000 – 10% of 6000

Amount of the article inclusive of sales tax at which the shopkeeper bought it
= ₹ 5400 + ₹ 324 = ₹ 5724
The value added by dealer = ₹ 5400 – ₹ 4200 = ₹ 1200
Amount of VAT paid by dealer = 6% of 1200
= \(\frac { 6 }{ 100 }\) x 1200 = ₹ 72
Price paid by shopkeeper including tax is ₹ 5724
VAT paid by dealer is ₹ 72

and third number = 3x
According to the given condition,
(6x)² + (4x)² + (3x)² = 244
⇒ 36x² + 16x² + 9x² = 244
⇒ 61x² = 244
⇒ x² – 4 = 0
⇒ (x + 2) (x – 2) = 0
Either x + 2 = 0, then x = -2 But it is not possible because it is not positive
or x – 2 = 0, then x = 2
First number = 6x = 6 x 2 = 12
Second number = 4x = 4 x 2 = 8
and third number = 3x = 3 x 2 = 6
Numbers are 12, 8, 6

Question 12.
Divide 20 into two parts such that three times the square of one part exceeds the other part by 10.
Solution:
Let first part = x
Then second part = 20 – x (Sum = 20)
Now, according to the given condition,
3(x)² – (20 – x) = 10
⇒ 3x² – 20 + x – 10 = 0
⇒ 3x² + x – 30 = 0
⇒ 3x² + 10x – 9x – 30 = 0
⇒ x (3x + 10) – 3 (3x + 10) = 0
⇒ (3x + 10) (x – 3) = 0
Either 3x + 10 = 0, then 3x = -10 ⇒ x = \(\frac { -10 }{ 3 }\)
But it is not possible.
or x – 3 = 0 then x = 3
Then first part = 3
and second part = 20 – 3 = 17

Question 13.
Three consecutive natural numbers are such that the square of the middle number exceeds the difference of the squares of the other two by 60. Assume the middle number to be x and form a quadratic equation satisfying the above statement Hence ; find the three numbers.
Solution:
Let middle number = x
Then, first number = x – 1
and third number = x + 1
Now according to the condition,
(x)²= [(x + 1)² – (x – 1)²] + 60
⇒ x² = [x² + 2x + 1 – x² + 2x – 1 ] + 60
⇒ x² = 4x + 60
⇒ x² – 4x – 60 = 0
⇒ x² – 10x + 6x – 60 = 0
⇒ x (x – 10) + 6 (x – 10) = 0
⇒ (x – 10) (x + 6) = 0
Either x – 10 = 0 then x = 10
or x + 6 = 0 then x = -6. But it is not a natural number.
Middle number = 10
First number = 10 – 1 = 9
and third number = 10 + 1 = 11
Hence numbers are 9, 10, 11

Question 14.
Out of three consecutive positive integers, the middle number is p. If three times the square of the largest is greater than the sum of the squares of the other two numbers by 67; calculate the value of p.
Solution:
Middle number = p
then smallest number = p – 1
and greatest number = p + 1
Now, according to the condition.
3 (p + 1)² – (p – 1)² – p² = 67
⇒ 3 (p² + 2p + 1) – (p² – 2p + 1) – p² = 67
⇒ 3p² + 6p + 3 – p² + 2p – 1 – p² – 67 = 0
⇒ p² + 8p + 2 – 67 = 0
⇒ p² + 8p – 65 = 0
⇒ p² + 13p – 5p – 65 = 0
⇒ p (p + 13) – 5 (p + 13) = 0
⇒ (p + 13) (p – 5) = 0
Either p + 13 = 0, then p = -13 But it is not possible.
or p – 5 = 0, then p = 5
p = 5

Question 15.
A can do a piece of work in ‘x’ days and B can do the same work in (x + 16) days. If both working together can do it in 15 days. Calculate ‘x’.
Solution:

Question 16.
One pipe can fill a cistern in 3 hours less than the other. The two pipes together can fill the cistern in 6 hours 40 minutes. Find the time that each pipe will take to fill the cistern.
Solution:
Let first pipe can fill the cistern in = x hrs.
Second pipe will fill the cistern in = x – 3 hrs.

But it is not possible.
x = 15
First pipe can fill in 15 hrs.
and second pipe in 15 – 3 = 12 hrs.

Question 17.
A positive number is divided into two parts such that the sum of the squares of the two parts is 20. The square of the larger part is 8 times the smaller part. Taking A as the smaller part of the two parts. Find the number. (2010)
Solution:
Let larger part = y
and smaller part = x
x² + y² = 20 ….(i)
and y² = 8x ….(ii)
Substituting the value of y² in „
x² + 8x = 20
⇒ x² + 8x – 20 = 0
⇒ x² + 10x – 1x – 20 = 0 {-20 = 10 x (-2), 8 = 10 – 2}
⇒ x (x + 10) – 2(x + 10) = 0
⇒ (x + 10) (x – 2) = 0
Either x + 10 = 0, then x = – 10 which is not possible because it is negative
or x – 2 = 0, then x = 2
Smaller number = 2
and larger number = y² = 8x = 8 x 2 = 16
⇒ y² = 16 = (4)²
⇒ y = 4
Number = x + y = 2 + 4 = 6

Solution:
(a) The mean of 7, 11, 6, 5 and 6.

(b) If we subtract 2 from each number, then the mean will be 7 – 2 = 5

Question 5.
If the mean of 6, 4, 7, a and 10 is 8. Find the value of ‘a’.
Solution:
No. of terms = 5
Mean = 8
∴ Sum of number (Σx_i) = 5 x 8 = 40 …(i)
But Σx_i = 6 + 4 + 7 + a+10 = 27 + a ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
27 + a = 40 ⇒ a = 40 – 27
∴ a = 13

Question 6.
The mean of the number 6, y, 7, x and 14 is 8. Express y in terms of x.
Solution:
No. of terms = 5 and
mean = 8
∴ Sum of numbers (Σx_i) = 5 x 8 = 40 ….(i)
But sum of numbers given = 6 + y + 7 + x + 14
= 21 + y + x + ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
27 + y + x = 40
⇒ y = 40 – 27 – x
⇒ y= 13 – x

Find the arithmetic mean.
Solution:

Question 8.
If 69.5 is the mean of 72, 70, x, 62, 50, 71, 90, 64, 58 and 82, find the value of x.
Solution:
No. of terms = 10
Mean = 69.5
∴ Sum of numbers = 69,5 x 10 = 695 ….(i)
But sum of given number = 72 + 70 + x + 62 + 50 + 71 + 90 + 64 + 58 + 82 = 619+x ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
619 + x = 695
⇒ x = 695 – 619 = 76

Solution:

Question 10.
From the data given below, calculate the mean wage, correct to the nearest rupee.

(i) If the number of workers in each category is doubled, what would be the new mean wage? [1995]
(ii) If the wages per day in each category are increased by 60%; what is the new mean wage?
(iii) If the number of workers in each category is doubled and the wages per day per worker are reduced by 40%. What would be the new mean wage?
Solution:

(i) Mean remains the same if the number of workers in each catagory is doubled.
∴ Mean = 80.
(ii) Mean will be increased by 60% if the wages per day per worker is increased by 60%.
∴ New mean = 80 x \(\frac { 160 }{ 100 }\)= 128
(iii) No change in the mean if the number of worker is doubled but if wages per worker is reduced by 40%, then
New mean = 80 x \(\frac { 60 }{ 100 }\)= 48

Question 11.
The contents of 100 match boxes were checked to determine the number of matches they contained.

(i) Calculate, correct to one decimal place, the mean number of matches per box.
(ii) Determine how many extra matches would have to be added to the total contents of the 100 boxes to bring the mean up to exactly 39 matches. [1997]
Solution:

(ii) In the second case,
New mean = 39 matches
∴ Total contents = 39 x 100 = 3900
But total no of matches already given = 3813
∴ Number of new matches to be added = 3900 – 3813 = 87
