Answer to: A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train.

Let us say, the speed of the train be x km/hr. Time taken to cover 360 km = 360/x hr. As per the question given, ⇒ (x + 5)(360-1/x) = 360 ⇒ 36...

Answer to: Find the roots of the following quadratic equations, if they exist, by the method of completing the square: (i) 4x^2 + 4√3x + 3 = 0 (ii) 2x^2 + x + 4 = 0

(i) 4x2 + 4√3x + 3 = 0 Converting the equation into a2+2ab+b2 form, we get, ⇒ (2x)2 + 2 × 2x × √3 + (√3)2 = 0 ⇒ (2x + √3)2 = 0 ⇒ (2x + √3) = 0...
