1.   Find the roots of the following quadratic equations by factorisation:

(i)   ${x^2 – 3x – 10 = 0}$                      (ii)  ${2x^2 + x – 6 = 0}$
 
(iii) ${ √2x^2  + 7 x + 5 √2 = 0}$                (iv) ${ 2x^2 – x + 1/8= 0}$

(v)   ${100 x^2 – 20x + 1 = 0}$

2.   Solve the problems given in Example 1.

3.   Find two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182.

4.   Find two consecutive positive integers, sum of whose squares is 365.

5.   The altitude of a right triangle is 7 cm less than its base. If the hypotenuse is 13 cm,

6.   A cottage industry produces a certain number of pottery articles in a day. It was observed 
     on a particular day that the cost of production of each article (in rupees) was 3 more than
	 twice the number of articles produced on that day. If the total cost of production on that 
	 day was ₹ 90, find the number of articles produced and the cost of each article.
