CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS

1. To enhance the reading skills of grade X students, the school nominates you and two of
your friends to set up a class library. There are two sections- section A and section B of
grade X. There are 32 students in section A and 36 students in section B.
(i) What is the minimum number of books you will acquire for the class library, so that they
can be distributed equally among students of Section A or Section B?
(ii) If the product of two positive integers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM is true
then, find LCM (32,36) if their HCF is 4.
(iii) Express 36 as a product of its primes.
(iv) 7 × 11 × 13 × 15 + 15 is a ____________ number.

2. Sukriti throws a ball upwards, from a rooftop which is 8 m high from ground level. The ball
reaches to some maximum height and then returns and hit the ground. It height of the ball
at time t (in sec) is represented by h(m), then equation of its path is given as h = −t2 + 2t + 8

3.
Based on above information, answer the following :
(i) Find the maximum height achieved by ball ?
(ii) Which polynomial is represented by above graph?
(iii) How much time is taken by ball to reach maximum height ?
(iv) How many zeros of the polynomial whose graph is given have?
(v) Find the zeroes of the polynomial whose graph is given.

3. A book store shopkeeper gives books on rent for reading. He has variety of books in his store
related to fiction, stories and quizzes etc. He takes a fixed charge for the first two days and
an additional charge for subsequent day. Amruta paid Rs 22 for a book and kept for 6 days;
while Radhika paid Rs 16 for keeping the book for 4 days. Assume that the fixed charge be
Rs x and additional charge (per day) be Rs y.
(i) What are the fixed charges for a book ?
(ii) What are the additional charges for each subsequent day for a book ?
(iii) What is the total amount paid by both, if both of them have kept the book for 2 more days
?

4. The speed of a motor boat is 20 km/hr. For covering the distance of 15 km the boat took 1
hour more for upstream than downstream.

(i) Let speed of the stream be x km/hr., then what will be the speed of the motorboat in
upstream in terms of x?
(ii) What is the relation between speed ,distance and time?
(iii) Write the quadratic equation for the speed of the current ?
(iv) What is the speed of current ?
(v) How much time boat took in downstream?

5. Your friend Veer wants to participate in a 200m race. He can currently run that distance in
51 seconds and with each day of practice it takes him 2 seconds less. He wants to do in 31
seconds .
(i) Form an AP for the given situation.
(ii) What is the minimum number of days he needs to practice till his goal is achieved?
(iii) If nth term of an AP is given by an = 2n + 3 then find common difference of the AP.
(iv) The value of x, for which 2x, x+ 10, 3x + 2 are three consecutive terms of an AP ?
