(a) 27 m (b) 15 m (c) 50 m (d) 54 m
Length of outer boundary = 12 + 15 + 12 + 15 = 54 m

(iv) Find the area of living room in the layout.

(iii) Find the area of each bedroom.
(a) 30 sq. m (b) 35 sq. m
(a) 30 sq. m (b) 35 sq. m
(c) 75 sq. m (d) 65 sq. m
(c) 65 sq. m (d) 42 sq. m
Area of two bedrooms = 10x sq.m Area of living room = (15 x 7) – 30
Area of kitchen = 5y sq. m = 105 – 30 =75 sq. m
So, 10x + 5y = 95 2x + y = 19
Also, x + 2 + y = 15 x + y = 13
(v) Find the cost of laying tiles in Kitchen at the rate of Rs. 50 per sq. m
Solving 2x + y = 19 and x + y = 13,
(a) Rs. 1500 (b) Rs. 2000 (c) Rs. 1750 (d) Rs. 3000
we get x = 6 m and y = 7 m
Area of bedroom = 5 x 6 = 30 sq. m Cost of 1m2 laying tiles in kitchen = Rs. 50
Total cost of laying tiles in kitchen = Rs. 50 x 35 = Rs. 1750

Since the graph intersects the x-axis at two points, -2 and 2.
figure.
Therefore, -2, 2 are the zeroes of the polynomial.
Ans: (a) -2, 2

(ii) What will be the expression of the polynomial given in diagram?

(a) x2 – 2 (b) -x2 + 4 (c) x2 + 4 (d) x2 + 2
Since, the parabola is downward parabola, therefore the value of ‘a’in
standard form ax2 + bx + c is –ve.
Ans: (b) -x2 + 4

(iii) What is the value of the polynomial if x = 3?

(a) 0 (b) 5 (c) -5 (d) -1 (v) If one zero is -4 and sum of zeroes is 1, then
representation of tunnel as a polynomial is
(a) x2 – x + 24 (b) -x2 + x + 20
(c) x2 + x+ 20 (d) x2 – x + 16

(iv) If the tunnel is represented by -x2 + 3x - 2, then its zeroes are

(a) -1, -2 (b) 1, -2 (c) -1, 2 (d) 1, 2

(a) 2.57 m2 (b) 1.57 m2 (c) 1 m2 (d) 2.5 m2

Ans: (b) 1.57 m2

(iii) Find the volume of the three pillars.

(a) 0.94 m3 (b) 9.43 m3 (c) 0.0924 m3 (d) 9 m3 (v) Find the volume of the hemispherical depression.
(a) 0.82 m3 (b) 0.72 m3 (c) 0.26 m3 (d) None of these
