FEW ADDITIONALPROBLEMS WITH SOLUTIONS

A tiny park is coming up in Dhauli. The plan is shown in the figure. The two square plots, each of
area g2 sq. ft., will have a green cover. All the remaining area is a walking path w ft. wide that
needs to he tiled. Write an expression for the area that needs to be tiled.

Solution:
Length = w + g + 2w + g + w = 4w + 2g
Breadth = w + g + w = 2w + g
Area of park = (4w + 2g) (2w + g)
= 8w2 + 4wg + 4wg + 2g2
= 8w2 + 8wg + 2g2
Area of path = Area of park – Area of green cover
= 8w2 + 8wg + 2g2 – 2g2
= 8w2 + 8wg
∴ (8w2 + 8wg) sq. feet area needs to be tiled.
1. Which is larger? Find out without fully computing the product.
(i) 14 × 26 or 16 × 24 (ii) 25 × 75 or 26 × 74
Solution:
(i) Let P = 14 × 26
Q= 16 × 24
= (14 + 2) (26 – 2)
= 14 × 26 + 2 × 26 – 14 × 2 – 2 × 2
= 14 × 26 + 2(26 – 14 – 2)
= 14 × 26 + 2 × 10
Q = P + 2 × 10
∴ Q’ > P or 16 × 24 > 14 × 26

(ii) Let p = 25 × 75
Q = 26 × 74
= (25 + 1) (75 – 1)
= 25 × 75 + 75 × 1 – 25 × 1 – 1 × 1
= p + (75 – 25 – 1)
= p + 49
∴Q > P or 26 × 74 > 25 × 75
2. A number leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 7, and another number leaves
a remainder of 5 when divided by 7. What is the remainder when their sum,
difference, and product are divided by 7?
Solution:
Let the numbers be x and y.
x = 7a + 3, y = 7b + 5
Sum = x + y
= 7a + 3 + 7b + 5
= 7(a + b) + 8
= 7(a + b) + 7 + 1
= 7(a + b + 1) + 1
∴ The remainder on division by 7 is 1.
Difference = x – y
= (7a + 3) – (7b + 5)
= 7a + 3 – 7b – 5
= 7(a – b) – 2
= 7(a – b) – 1 + 5 (∵ -2 = -7 + 5)
= 7(a – b – 1) + 5
∴ The remainder on division by 7 is 5.
Product = xy
= (7a + 3) (7b + 5)
= 49ab + 35a + 21b + 15
= (49ab + 35a + 21b + 14) + 1
= 7(7ab + 5a + 3b + 2) + 1
∴ The remainder on division by 7 is 1.
3. What is the algebraic expression describing the following steps: add any two
numbers? Multiply this by half of the sum of the two numbers? Prove that this
result will be half of the square of the sum of the two numbers.
Solution:
Let the two numbers be a and b.
Step 1: a + b
Step 2: (a + b) × 1/2 (a + b)
∴ (a + b) × 1/2 (a + b) = 1/2 (a + b)2

Given two numbers x and y, where x leaves a remainder of 3 and y leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 7, their sum, difference, and product can have their remainders evaluated as follows: For the sum, x + y = 7a + 3 + 7b + 5 = 7(a + b) + 8 = 7(a + b + 1) + 1, so the remainder is 1. For the difference, x - y = (7a + 3) - (7b + 5) = 7(a - b) - 2 = 7(a - b - 1) + 5, so the remainder is 5. For the product, xy = (7a + 3)(7b + 5) = 49ab + 35a + 21b + 15 = 7(7ab + 5a + 3b + 2) + 1, giving a remainder of 1 .

The expression for the area to be tiled in the park is derived from the total area of the park subtracting the area of the green cover of the two square plots. The length of the park is given by 4w + 2g and the breadth is 2w + g, leading to a total park area of (4w + 2g)(2w + g) = 8w^2 + 8wg + 2g^2. Since each square plot has an area g^2, the combined area of two square plots is 2g^2. Thus, the area to be tiled is 8w^2 + 8wg + 2g^2 - 2g^2 = 8w^2 + 8wg square feet .

To prove that multiplying the sum of two numbers by half of the same sum results in half of the square of the sum, let the two numbers be a and b. Calculate the sum: a + b. Then multiply by half of this sum: (a + b) × 1/2 × (a + b). This simplifies to 1/2 × (a + b)^2. By expanding (a + b)^2, we have (a^2 + 2ab + b^2), which shows 1/2 × (a^2 + 2ab + b^2) is indeed half of the square of the sum of the two numbers .

To determine which of two multiplication products is larger without fully computing them, you can use algebraic manipulation to express the products in a comparative form. For example, consider 14 × 26 and 16 × 24. Express one product in terms of the other using addition and subtraction of smaller terms. For instance, 16 × 24 can be written as (14 + 2) × (26 - 2) = 14 × 26 + 2 × 26 - 14 × 2 - 2 × 2. By simplifying, you get 16 × 24 = 14 × 26 + 2 × 10, indicating that 16 × 24 is greater than 14 × 26. Similarly, for 25 × 75 and 26 × 74, express 26 × 74 as (25 + 1) × (75 - 1) = 25 × 75 + 75 × 1 - 25 × 1 - 1 × 1. Simplifying gives 26 × 74 = 25 × 75 + 49, showing that 26 × 74 is greater than 25 × 75 .
