ASSIGNMENT No. 1
Q. 1 (a) Find the cost of 25kg apples, if the cost of 6kg apples is Rs.360.
Cost of 6kg apples = 360
Cost of 1 kg apple = 360 / 6 = 60
Cost of 25 kg apples = 25 * 60 = 1500
(b) Add the following algebraic expressions:
y2 + 2y + 1, 2y2 + 3, y3 + y
= y2 + 2y + 1+2y2 + 3+y3 + y
= y3+ 3 y2 + 3y + 4
Q. 2 (a) Three sides of a triangle are given by 10, 8, 6. Find the area and perimeter of the triangle.

P=a + b + c
=6 + 8 +10
=24
(b) A ball is dropped from a height of 250 m. If its motion is described by the following quadratic
equation. h(t) = 250 + 20t – t 2. Where h represents the height (meters) of the ball at any time t
(seconds) then find the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.
h(t) = 250 + 20t – t2
250 = 250 + 20t – t2
250 - 250 = 20t – t2
t(20-t) = 0
t = 0 and t = 20
Q. 3 (a) Solve the following system of linear equations by using Cramer’s rule.
2x – y + Z = 5, y + 2z = 0, –3x – y + 2z = – 4

 (b) Ali scored 4 points in his first quiz of mathematics, then he scored 16 points in his second and
64 points in third quiz. If his marks in quizzes continued to improve at the same rate, what will
be his score on his 10th quiz?
1st quiz = 4
2nd quiz = 16
3rd quiz = 64
10th quiz =?
1st quiz = 4 = 41
2nd quiz = 4 * 1st quiz = 4 * 4 = 16 = 42
3rd quiz = 4 * 2nd quiz = 4 * 16 = 64 = 43
