SOLUTION

Solution :

Concept: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Here we know that for any non zero number if the base is same and the number is multiplied, then the exponents are added.
(8)×(8)×(8)×(8)×(8)

=23×23×23×23×23


=23+3+3+3+3

ab×ac = ab+c


=215

Question 5

Is 30=(1000)0 true or false?  Justify your answer. [2 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : Concept: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Consider,    30=(1000)0

L.H.S. is 30=1   [ a0 = 1]

and R.H.S. (1000)0=1    [ a0 = 1]

L.H.S. = R.H.S.

30=(1000)0.

It is true.
We should remember that any non-zero number raised to the power 0 is always equal to 1.

Question 7

When a number is multiplied with 25 it gives 78125. Find the number and express it as a power of 5. What is the product if the number is multiplied by (5)×(5)?  [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Concept: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Let the number be x.

Given that,


(x)×(25)=78125

x=3125

The required number is 3125

Now,

3125=5×5×5×5×5


3125=55

Now, if the number was multiplied by (5)×(5) then the product=(5)×(5)×3125 = 78125

Question 8

SOLUTION

Solution :

Conversion: 1 Mark
Difference: 1 Mark
Standard form: 1 Mark

As per the question
The amount shopkeeper A has = Rs 34265.

The amount shop keeper B has = 432500 paise  Rs 4325.

Difference = Rs 34265 - Rs 4325 = Rs 29940.

The standard form of Rs 29940.

29940=2.994×104
The difference in rupees is 2.994×104

Question 10

A ball is released from a height of x meters. Given that it bounces back to half of its original height. Find the product of heights after eight bounces.  [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 2 Marks

Given that

The ball is released from a height of x m

Height reached after first bounce =x2

Height reached after second bounce =x4=x22

Height reached after third bounce =x8=x23

Height reached after fourth bounce =x16=x24

Height reached after fifth bounce =x32=x25

Height reached after sixth bounce =x64=x26

Height reached after seventh bounce =x128=x27

Height reached after eight bounce =x256=x28

Product of first 9 heights =x×x2×x22×x23×x24×x25×x26×x27×x28
=x(1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1)2(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8)
(ab×ac = ab+c)
=x9236

The product of heights after 8 bounces =x9236

Question 11

A man X has a land whose area is 34 meter square and a man Y has 43 meter square of land. If the land costs Rs 50 per meter square, who has higher property value? [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Step: 2 Marks
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

The area of land owned by X is

=34 m2=81 m2


The value of given property is

=(81)×(50)=Rs.4050


The area of land owned by Y is 

43 m2=64 m2

The value of given property is

=(64)×(50)=Rs.3200


Value of property owned by X is greater than property owned by Y.

Question 13

If abc = 1, then find the value of:

11+a+b1+11+b+c1+11+c+a1  [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that,
abc=1
So, c=1÷ab=(ab)1
Similarly,
 a=(bc)1
b=(ac)1
And,
ab=c1
ac=b1
bc=a1

11+a+b1+11+b+c1+11+c+a1

=11+a+b1+b1b1+bb1+b1c1+aa+ac+aa1  

[Multiplying 2nd term by b1b1 and 3rd term by aa]

=11+a+b1+b1b1+1+a+aa+b1+1

 aman=amn

=1+b1+a1+a+b1

=1

Question 14

If x=ya, y=zb, z=xc then find abc. If a = 12, b = 1288, then find the value of c.  [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : Steps: 1 Marks
Application: 1 Mark
Value of abc: 1 Mark
Value of c: 1 Mark

It is given that
x=ya, y=zb, z=xc

x=ya

=(zb)a    (y=zb)

=zab

=(xc)ab     (xc=z)  

x=xabc        ((am)n=amn)

x1=xabc

As bases are equal, exponents are equal.

abc=1

Now, it is also given that, 
a = 12, b = 1288
a×b×c = 1
c = 1a×b

On substituting the values we get:
c = 112×1288

c = 28812

c = 24
Hence, the value of c is 24.

Question 15

In a race Karan covers 1m in 1st second, in the next second he covers twice the distance he covered in 1st second, in 3rd second he covers twice the distance which he covered in 2nd second and he continues to run like this till six seconds. After that he slows down, as in 7th second he covers only half the distance which he covered in 6th second and in 8thsecond he covers half the distance which he covered in 7thsecond and he continuous in that manner. If Karan completes the race in 9 seconds, find the length of given track.  [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Application: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark

Here are the distances covered by Karan in each second

1st second = 1m

2nd second =1×2=2m

Hence, the length of the track is 2 m.

3rd second =2×2= 4m

4th second =4×2= 8m

5th second = 8×2=16m

6th second = 16×2=32m

7th second =32÷2= 16m

8th second =16÷2= 8m

9th second =8÷2= 4m

Length of the given track = (1+2+4+8+16+32+16+8+4) m

Length of the given track = 91 m 

Hence, the length of the track is 91 m.
