5. Find HCF and LCM of 404 and 96 and verify that HCF × LCM = Product of
the two given numbers.
6. Find the quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 1 and – 3. Verify the relation
between the coefficients and the zeroes of the polynomial.
7. If – 1 is a zero of quadratic polynomial, p(x) = kx2 – 5x – 4, then find the value

9. Two integers p and q are expressed in powers of primes as p = a15b3ef7 and q =
a4bgc2 where a, b, c, d, e, f, g are primes. Find the H.C.F. (p, q)
10. In a school, the duration of a period in junior section is 40 minutes and in
senior section is 1 hour: If the first bell for each section ring at 9:00 a.m., when
will the two bells ring together again?
11.If 51x + 23y = 116 and 23x + 51y = 106, then find the value of (x – y).
12. Find the values of k for which the pair of linear equations kx + y = k2 and
x + ky = 1 have infinitely many solutions.
13. In a two-digit number, the ten’s digit number is three times the unit’s digit.
When the number is decreased by 54, the digits are reversed. Find the number.
14. Draw the graph of 2x + y = 6 and 2x – y + 2 = 0. Shade the region bounded by
these lines and x-axis. Find the area of the shaded region.
15.Students of a class are made to stand in rows. If one student is extra in a row,
there would be 2 rows less. If one student is less in a row there would be 3 rows
more. Find the number of students in the class.
16. Find a quadratic polynomial, whose zeroes are –3 and 4.
17. If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = 2x2 + 5x + k, satisfying the
relation, α2 + β2 + αβ = 21/4 then find the value of k.
ASSERTION – REASON (write the correct option)
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct
explanation of Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false. (d) Assertion is false but Reason is false.
18. Assertion (A) If the pair of equations x + 2 y + 7 = 0, 3x + ky + 21 = 0
represents coincident lines, then the value of k is 6.
Reason (R) The pair of linear equations are coincident lines, if they have no
solution.
19.A (Assertion): polynomial of degree n has at most n zeroes
R (Reason): Maximum number of zeroes of a polynomial = Degree of the
polynomial

Based on the above information,
(i) What is the shape of the curve EFG?
(i) Find the distance between A and E.
(iii) If the path traced by the car has zeroes at -1 and 2, then find its
corresponding polynomial.
