(v) ( pq – 2r ) x ( pq – 2r )
= 12a – 9ab + 5b – 3 – 4a + 7ab – 3b – 12
= pq ( pq – 2r) – 2r( pq – 2r )
= 12a – 4a – 9ab + 7ab + 5b –3b – 3 – 12

13 × 8a × 2b × c × a = 208a²bc
(vi) (3/2p² + 2/3q²), (2p² –3q²)
8 × 3 × a × b × c = 24abc
Answer 5. (i) ( – 7pq²r³ ) x ( – 13p³q²r )
3 × 8 × a × b × c × c = 24abc²
= 91P4 q4 r4
3 × 8 × a × b × b × c = 24ab²c

Hence, we can get that option (a) is correct. As per standard identity 2, (a – b)² = a² – 2ab + b²

Question 7. Which of the following is an identity? (e) (a – b)

(a) (p + q)² = p² + q² As per standard identity 3, (a + b ) ( a – b ) = a² – b²

(b) p² – q² = (p – q)² (f) 2ab – 2b²

(c) p² – q² = p² + 2pq – q² Let us solve the equation with x in the blank space. As per
identity 2, (a – b)² = a² – 2ab + b².
(d) (p + q)² = p² + 2pq + q²
Hence, a² – 2ab + b² + x = a² – b²
Answer 7. Option (d)
x = a² – b² – a² + 2ab – b²
Explanation: The equation (p + q)² = p² + 2pq + q² follows
the first standard algebraic identity x = 2ab – 2b²

( a + b )² = a² + 2ab + b². The rest of the other options do (g) a² + b²

not follow any of the standard identities. Hence option (d)
is correct. Using Identity 1 ( a + b )² = a² + 2ab + b²,

Question 8. Fill in the blanks. (a + b)² – 2ab = a² + 2ab + b² – 2ab = a² + b²

(j) Number of terms in the expression a2 + bc × d is
________ As (a – b)² = a² – 2ab + b² , hence

Answer 8. (50 – 2)² = (50)² – 2 × 50 × 2 + (2)²

(a) ab = 2500 – 200 + 4

As per the standard identity 4, (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x = 2300 + 4

+ ab
= 2304
(b) Positive
(b) As a² – b² = (a – b) (a + b)
(c) Negative
181² – 19² = (181 – 19) (181 + 19)
(d) ^2 or ( a – b)²
 = 162 × 200 Answer 11.

= 32400 (x+3)(x+7)

(c) By using the identity (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab = x² + ( 3 + 7 ) x + ( 3 x 7 )

497 x 505 = ( 500 – 3 ) (500 + 5 ) = x² + 10x + 21

= 500² + (–3 + 5) × 500 + (–3) (5) ( 4x + 5 ) ( 4x + 1 )

= 250000 + 1000 – 15 = 16x² + ( 5 + 1 ) 4x + ( 5 x 1 )

= 250985 = 16x² + 24x + 5

(d) As (a + b) (a – b) = a² – b² (c) (4x – 5) (4x – 1)

2.07 × 1.93 = (2 + 0.07) (2 – 0.07) = 16x² + ( – 5 – 1 ) 4x + ( -5 x -1 )

= 2² – 0.07² = 16x² – 24x + 5

= 3.9951 (d) (4x + 5) (4x – 1)

Question 10. The length of a rectangular box is ( x + 9y) = 16x² + ( 5 + ( – 1 ) )4x + ( 5 x ( – 1 ) )

and the area is x² + 12xy + 27y². Find the breadth.
= 16x² + 16x – 5
Answer 10. Area of a rectangle = length x breadth, hence
breadth = area / length. (e) (2x + 5y) (2x + 3y)

breadth = x² + 12xy + 27y² = 4x² + ( 5y + 3y )2x + ( 5y x 3y )

( x + 9y ) = 4x² + 16xy + 15y²

= x² + 9xy + 3xy + 27y² (f) (2a²+ 9) (2a²+ 5)

( x + 9y ) = 4a4 + ( 9 + 5 )2a² + ( 9 x 5 )

= x ( x + 9y ) + 3y (x + 9y) = 4a4 + 28a² + 45

( x + 9y ) (g) (xyz – 4) (xyz – 2)

breadth = x + 3y = x²y²z² + ( -4 – 2)xyz + ( – 4 x – 2)

Question 11. With the help of identity (x + a) (x + b) = x² + = x²y²z² – 6xyz + 8

(f) (2a²+ 9) (2a²+ 5) Answer 12. (c) Non-negative integers

(g) (xyz – 4) (xyz – 2)

Explanation: A polynomial will have a non-zero coefficient 99² = ( 100 – 1 )² Identity applied ( a –
and variables having non-negative integers as exponents. b )² = a² – 2ab + b²
For example : a + b + r + q, 3ab, 5xyz – 10, 2a + 3b + 7z, etc.

(c) Trinomial applied ( a + b )² = a² + 2ab + b²

(d) None of these = 100² + 2 ( 100 x 2 ) + 2²

Answer 13. (b) Binomial = 10000 + 400 + 4

Explanation: This can be demonstrated through an = 10404

example below,
(d) 998² = ( 1000 – 2 )² Identity
x ( y + z ) = xy + xz applied ( a – b )² = a² – 2ab + b²

This expression contains two terms, x is a monomial and = 1000² – 2 ( 1000 x 2 ) + 2²

( y + z ) is a binomial.
= 1000000 – 4000 + 4
The product of multiplying these terms results in a
binomial product xy + xz. = 996004

Question 14. Using identities, find products for the below. (e) 5.2² = ( 5 + 0.2 )² Identity
applied ( a + b )² = a² + 2ab + b²

Answer 14.
= 80² – 2²
71² = ( 70 + 1 )² Identity applied ( a + b
)² = a² + 2ab + b² = 6400 – 4

= 4900 + 140 + 1 (h) 8.9² = ( 9.0 – 0.1 )² Identity

applied ( a – b )² = a² – 2ab + b²
= 5041
= 9.0² – 2 ( 9.0 x 0.1 ) + 0.1²

of its length,
(e) True
(f) True RHS = 48pq²

(g) False. The equation p²q + q²r + r²q consists of three Hence LHS = RHS
terms; hence it is a trinomial.
(d) LHS = (a – b) (a + b) + (b – c) (b + c) + (c – a) (c + a)
(h) False. An equation is not true for all values of its

Question 18. Show that LHS = RHS for the below equations. =0

(a) ( 3x + 7 )² – 84x = ( 3x – 7 )² RHS = 0

(b) ( 9p – 5q )² + 180pq = ( 9p + 5q )² Hence LHS = RHS

(c) ( 4pq + 3q )² – ( 4pq – 3q )² = 48pq² Question 19. Expand the following, using suitable
identities.
(d) (a – b) (a + b) + (b – c) (b + c) + (c – a) (c + a) = 0
(a) ( xy + yz )²
Answer 18.
(b) ( x²y – xy² )²
(a) LHS = ( 3x + 7 )² – 84x
(c) ( 7x + 5 )²
= (3x)² + 2 ( 3x x 7 ) + 7² – 84x
(d) ( 0.9p – 0.5q )²
= 9x² + 42x + 49 – 84x
(e) ( x² + y² ) ( x² – y² )
= 9x² – 42x + 49
Answer 19.
RHS = ( 3x – 7 )²
(a) (xy + yz)²
= (3x)² – 2 ( 3x x 7 ) + 7²
= (xy)² + 2 (xy x yz ) + (yz)²
= 9x² – 42x + 49
= x²y² + 2xy²z + y²z²
Hence LHS = RHS
(b) (x²y – xy²)²
(b) LHS = ( 9p – 5q )² + 180pq
= (x²y)² – 2 (x²y x xy²) + (xy²)²
= (9p)² – 2 ( 9p x 5q ) + (5q)² + 180pq
= x4y² – 2x³y³ + x²y4
= 81p² + 90pq + 25q²
(c) (7x + 5)²
RHS = ( 9p + 5q )²
= (7x)² + 2 (7x x 5) + (5)²
= (9p)² + 2 ( 9p x 5q ) + (5q)²
= 49x² + 70x + 25
= 81p² + 90pq + 25q²
(d) (0.9p – 0.5q)²
Hence LHS = RHS
= (0.9p)² – 2 ( 0.9p x 0.5q) + (0.5q)²
(c) LHS = ( 4pq + 3q )² – ( 4pq – 3q )²
= 0.81p² – 0.9pq + 0.25q²
= (4pq)² + 2 ( 4pq x 3q ) + (3q)² – ( (4pq)² – 2 ( 4pq x
3q ) + (3q)²) (e) ( x² + y² ) ( x² – y² )

= 16p²q² + 24pq² + 9q² – 16p²q² + 24pq² – 9q² = x4 – x²y² + y²x² – y4

= 48pq² = x4 – y4
