Section A
1. (a) True
Explanation:
True, since the collection of whole numbers contains all natural numbers.
Natural numbers are numbers starting from 1, i.e 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ......
And whole numbers are numbers starting from 0. i.e, 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ....
And you can see that all numbers are within whole numbers.
2. Let f(x) = 5x – 4x2 + 3
The value of f(x) at x = –1
f(– 1) = 5(– 1) – 4 (– 1)2 + 3
=–5–4+3=–6
3. We have,
p(x) = 3x - 2
p(x) = 0
3x – 2 = 0
x= 2
3
Therefore, x = 2
3
is a zero of the polynomial p(x) = 3x - 2
4.
(b) False
Explanation:
False
There is a unique line that can pass through the given two points.
−− −− −− −−
5. (3 + √23 ) − √23 = 3 + √23 − √23 = 3 is a rational number.
6. 1 + x
We can observe that the degree of the polynomial (1 + x ) is 1.
Therefore, we can conclude that the polynomial 1 + x is a linear polynomial.
Section B
7. We know that there are infinite rational numbers between any two numbers. A rational
number is the one that can be written in the form of where p and q are Integers and
p
q ≠ 0 We know that the numbers 3
5
and
4
5
can also be written as.0.6 and 0.8 or
3 3 20 60
= × =
5 5 20 100
4 4 20 80
= × =
5 5 20 100
We can conclude that the numbers all lie between We need to rewrite the numbers
in form to get the rational numbers between and . So,

and 65

We can further convert the rational
numbers 62

,
64
100
and 65
100
into lowest [Link] converting the fractions, we get

Therefore, five rational numbers between 3

8. p (x) = 2x 3
+ x
2
− 2x − 1, g (x) = x
+ 1
We know that according to the factor theorem, (x - a) is a factor of p(x), if p(a) = 0.
We can conclude that g(x) is a factor of p(x), if p(-1)=0.
3 2
p(-1) = 2(-1) + (-1) -2(-1) - 1 = -2 + 1 + 2 - 1
=0
Therefore, we conclude that the g(x) is a factor of p(x).

9. p(x) = 2x + kx + √2
2
We know that according to the factor theorem
p (a) = 0, if x − a is a factor of p (x)
We conclude that if (x − 1) isaf actorof p(x) = 2x 2
+ kx then p (1) = 0
–
+ √2
–
or
2
p (1) = 2(1) + k (1) + √2 = 0,
–
2 + k + √2 = 0
–
k = − (2 + √2) .
–
Therefore, we can conclude that the value of k is − (2 + √2)
10. AC = BD . . . . [Given] . . . (1)
AC = AB + BC . . . . [Point B lies between A and C] . . . . (2)
BD = BC + CD . . . . [Point C lies between B and D] . . . . (3)
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1), we get
AB + BC = BC + CD
⇒ AB = CD . . . . [Subtracting equals from equals]

11. L.H.S = x + y + z - 3xyz
= (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx)
(Using Identity a3+ b3+ c3– 3abc= (a + b + c)(a2+ b2+ c2– ab – bc – ca))
= (x + y + z){2(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx)} (Multiplying and Dividing by 2)

= 1
2
(x + y + z)(2x2 + 2y2 + 2z2 - 2xy - 2yz - 2zx)
= 1
2
(x + y + z){(x2 - 2xy + y2) + (y2 - 2yz + z2)+ (z2 - 2zx + x2)}
= 1
2
(x + y + z)[(x - y)2 + (y - z)2 + (z - x)2]. (Using Identity (a – b)2= a2– 2ab + b2)
12. Area : 25a − 35a + 12
2
The expression 25a2 - 35a + 12 can also written as 25a2 - 15a - 20a + 12
2
25a − 15a − 20a + 12 = 5a (5a − 3)
− 4 (5a − 3)
= (5a − 4) (5a − 3) .
Therefore, we can conclude that a possible expression for the length and breadth of a
rectangle of area 25a 2
− 35a + 12 is Length = (5a − 4) and Breadth = (5a − 3)
Section D

13. Let p(x) = x + 13x + 32x + 20
3 2
p(-1) = (-1) + 13(-1) + 32(-1) + 20
= -1 + 13 - 32 + 20 = 0
∴ By Factor Theorem, x - (-1), i.e., (x + 1) is a factor of p(x).
3 2
x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
= x2(x + 1) + 12x(x + 1) + 20(x + 1)
= (x + 1)(x2 + 12x + 20)
= (x + 1)(x2 + 2x + 10x + 20)
= (x + 1){x(x + 2) + 10(x + 2)}
= (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 10).
14. Let x = 0.47 = 0.47777 ...¯
¯¯
Multiplying both sides by 10 (since one digit is repeating), we get
10x = 4.7777 ...
⇒ 10x = 4.3 + 0.47777 ...
⇒ 10x = 4.3 + x
⇒ 10x - x = 4.3
⇒ 9x = 4.3
4.3 43
⇒ x = =
9 90
Thus, 4. 7 = ¯

Here p = 43
q = 90(≠0)
