Solution

(2)  One hundred and fifty students are admitted to a school. They are distributed over three sections A, B and C. If 6 students are shifted from section A to section C, the sections will have equal number of students. If 4 times of students of section C exceeds the number of students of section A by the number of students in section B, find the number of students in the three sections.                Solution

(3)  In a three-digit number, when the tens and the hundreds digit are interchanged the new number is 54 more than three times the original number. If 198 is added to the number, the digits are reversed. The tens digit exceeds the hundreds digit by twice as that of the tens digit exceeds the unit digit. Find the original number.

Solution

(13)  At t minutes past 2 pm, the time needed to 3 pm is 3 minutes less than t²/4. Find t.    Solution

(14)  The number of seats in a row is equal to the total number of rows in a hall. The total number of seats in the hall will increase by 375 if the number of rows is doubled and the number of seats in each row is reduced by 5. Find the number of rows in the hall at the beginning    Solution

(15)  If a and b are the roots of the polynomial f(x) = x² −2x + 3, find the polynomial whose roots are

(i) α + 2, β + 2                  Solution

(ii)  (α - 1)/(α + 1), (β - 1)/(β + 1)          Solution
