Solved Answers
Here are some important questions and solved answers for your reference.
Real Numbers
Question
Use Euclid's Algorithm to find the HCF of 135 and 225
Solution
225>135
Use the division lemma to divide the two positive numbers:
225=135 + 1x90
135=90+45
90=2x45
225=135 + 2x45
Since 45 divides 225 and 135 exactly, 45 is the HCF

Polynomials
Question
If a and b are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 6x^2 + x = 2, find the value of a/b + b/a
Solution
f(x) = 6x^2 + x = 2
Since a and b are the zeroes of the given polynomial,
Sum of zeroes (a+b) = -1/6
ab = -1/3
a/b + b/a = ((a+b)^2 - 2ab)/ab
