#### Question 1:

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. Form the quadratic equation to find the integers, if x denotes the smaller integer.

Since it is given in the question that the numbers we have to find are consecutive positive integer numbers, therefore the difference between the two numbers should be equal to 1.
For e.g. 7 and 8 or 26 and 27 are consecutive numbers.

Let us assume the first number to be ‘x’. So our next consecutive number should be ‘x + 1’. Now the question also says that the product of these two numbers is 306.

Therefore,

Hence, this is our required quadratic equation.

#### Question 2:

John and Jivanti together have 45 marbles. Both of them lost 5 marbles each, and the product of the number of marbles they now have is 128. Form the quadratic equation to find how many marbles they had to start with, if John and x marbles.

It is given that John had ‘x’ marbles.

We are also given that both John and Javanti had 45 marbles together.
So, Javanti should have ’45 − x’ marbles with her.

Now, it is given that both of them lose 5 marbles each.

So in the new situation, John will have ‘x − 5’marbles and Javanti will have ’45 − x − 5’ marbles.

Also it is given that the product of the number of marbles both of them now is 128.

Therefore,

Hence, this is the required quadratic equation.

#### Question 3:

A cottage industry produces a certain number of toys in a day. The cost of production of each toy (in rupees) was found to be 55 minus the number of articles produced in a day. On a particular day, the total cost of production was Rs. 750. If x denotes the number of toys produced that day, from the quadratic equation of find x.

Now we know that ‘x’ denotes the total number of toys produced in that day.

But, the cost of production of a single toy is 55 minus the number of toys produced that day i.e. ‘x’.

So, the total production cost would be the product of the cost of a single toy and the total number of toys i.e. product of ‘55 − x’ and ‘x’. Now, it is given here that total production cost of that day was Rs.750.

Therefore,

Hence, this is the required quadratic equation.

Therefore the height of the triangle becomes ‘x −7’.

It is also given that the hypotenuse is 13 cm.
By Pythagoras Theorem,

Hence, this is our required quadratic equation.

An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore and Banglore. If the average speed of the express train is 11 km/hr more than that of the passenger train, from the quadratic equation to find the average speed of express train.

Now let us assume that the speed of the express train be ‘x’ km/hr. Therefore according to the question speed of the passenger train will be ‘x −11’ km/hr. Now we know that the total distance travelled by both the trains was 132 km.

We also know that

So the time taken by express train would be hr and the time taken by the passenger train would behr. Now, we also know that the express train took 1 hr less than the passenger train to travel the whole distance.

Therefore, we have

Therefore, this is the required equation.

#### Question 6:

A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/hr more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Form the quadratic equation to find the speed of the train.

Let us assume that the speed of the train be ‘x’ km/hr. We are also given that the distance covered during the journey is 360 km.

Now, time taken during the journey = hr

Time taken for the new journey = hr

According to the question,

While boarding an aeroplane, a passenger got hurt. The pilot showing promptness and concern, made arrangements to hospitalise the injured and so the plane started late by 30 minutes to reach the destination, 1500 km away in time, the pilot increased the speed by 100 km/hr. Find the original speed/hour of the plane.

Let the original speed of the plane be x km/hr.

Increased speed of the plane = (x + 100) km/hr.
Total Distance = 1500 km.

We know that,

Time taken to reach the destination at original speed = t1$\frac{1500}{x}$ hr

Time taken to reach the destination at increasing speed = t2 = $\frac{1500}{x+100}$ hr

speed of the boat in still water = 18 km/hr.
Total Distance = 24 km.

We know that,
Speed of the boat up stream = speed of the boat in still water − speed of the stream
= (18 − x) km/hr

Speed of the boat down stream = speed of the boat in still water + speed of the stream
= (18 + x) km/hr

Time of up stream journey = t1 = $\frac{24}{18-x}$ hr

Time of down stream journey = t2 = $\frac{24}{18+x}$ hr

According to the question,

t1 − t2 = 1 hr

Since, speed cannot be negative.

Thus, speed of the stream is 6 km/hr.

Find, how long it would take for each pipe to fill the pool separately, if the pipe of smaller diameter takes 10 hours more than the pipe of larger diameter to fill the pool?

Let the pipe of larger diameter takes x hours.
Then, the pipe of smaller diameter takes x + 10 hours to fill the pool.

Now, the part of the pool filled by the larger pipe in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{x}$
