      ∵  
    
2. Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations
      :
(i) The area of a rectangular plot is 528  . The length of the plot (in meters) is one more than twice its
        breadth. We need to find the length and breadth of the plot.
. The length of the plot (in meters) is one more than twice its
        breadth. We need to find the length and breadth of the plot.
  
    Solution:
  
  
    Let the length and breadth of the rectangular plot be L and B.
  
  
    Again, Let breadth be x
  
  A/Q
  
    ∵ B=x
  
  
    ∵ L= 2x+1
  
  Given
  
    Area of a rectangular plot=528  
  
  
    ⇨L X B=528
  
  
    ⇨(2x+1)x=528
  
  ⇨
    ⇨ +x-528=0
+x-528=0
  
  
    From the above quadratic equation we can find the length and breadth
      of the plot.
  
    (ii)  The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306.
      We need to find the integers.
  
  
    Solution:
  
  
    Let the two consecutive positive integers are x, x+1
  
  A/Q
  
    x(x+1)=306
  
  
    ⇨ +x=306
+x=306
  
⇨ +x- 306 = 0
+x- 306 = 0
  
    From the above quadratic equation We can find the integers.
  
(iii) Rohan’s mother is 26 years older than him. The product of their
      ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360. We would like to find
      Rohan’s present age.
  
    Solution:
  
  
    Let the present age of Rohan be x
  
  A/Q
  
    Age of Rohan=x
  
  
    Age of Rohan’s mother=x+26
  
  
    Age 3 years from now
  
  
    Rohan=x+3
  
  
    Rohan’s mother=x+26+3
  
  
    ∵ (x+3)(x+26+3)=360
  
  
    ⇨ +26x+3x+3x+78+9=360
+26x+3x+3x+78+9=360
  
  
    ⇨ +32x+87=360
+32x+87=360
  
  
    ⇨ +32x+87-360=0
+32x+87-360=0
  
  
    ⇨ +32x-273=0
+32x-273=0
  
  
    From the above quadratic equation we can find Rohan’s present age.
  
(iv) A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the
      speed had been 8 km/h less, then it would have taken 3 hours more to cover
      the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train.
  
    Solution:
  
  
    Let the initial speed of train be u km/h
  
  
    Therefore time required to travel 480 km is
  
  
    Now V=u-8 km/h
  
  
    And t=t+3
  
  
      Again,
    
  
    From the above quadratic equation we can find speed of the
      train.
