Question

In a pair of supplementary angles, the greater angle exceeds the smaller by 50°. Express the given situation as a system of linear equations in two variables and hence obtain the measure of each angle.

The cost of 2 kg apples and 1 kg of grapes on a day was found to be ₹ 320. The cost of 4 kg apples and 2 kg grapes was found to be ₹ 600. If cost of 1 kg of apples and 1 kg of grapes is ₹ x and ₹ y respectively, represent the given situation algebraically as a system of equations and check whether the system so obtained is consistent or not.

Solve for x and y : √2 x + √3 y = 5 and √3 x − √8 y = −√6

If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = x² − ax − b, then the value of (α + β + αβ) is equal to :
