1. Find 4x × 5y × 7z.
Solution:
4x × 5y × 7z = 4 × 5 × 7 × x × y × z
= 140 xyz

2. Find 4x × 5y × 7z. First find (4x × 5y) and multiply it by 7z; or first find (5y × 7z) and multiply it by 4x. Is the result the same? What do you observe? Does the order in which you carry out the multiplication matter?
Solution:
(4x × 5 y) = 4 × 5 × x × y
= 20xy
Now, 20xy × 7z = 20 × 7 × xy × z
= 140xyz … (i)
Also, (5y × 7z) = 5 × 7 × y × z = 35 yz
Now, 35yz × 4x = 35 × 4 × yz × x
= 140xyz … (ii)
Yes, the result is same.
We can conclude that product remains same if we change order of the terms.

1. Put -b in place of b in Identity (I). Do you get Identity (II)?
Solution:
Identity (I): (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
Let us put (- b) instead of b [a + (- b)]2
= a2 + 2a (- b) + (- b)2
∴ (a – b)2
= a2 – 2ab + b2
Identity (II): (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
Yes, we get Identity (II).

1. Verify Identity (IV), for a = 2, b = 3, x = 5.
Solution:
Identity (IV):
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Substitute a = 2, b = 3 and x = 5
LHS
= (x + a) (x + b)
= (5 + 2) (5 + 3)
= (7)(8)
= 56

RHS
= x2 + (a + b) x + ab
= (5)2 + (2 + 3) × 5 + (2 × 3)
= 25 + (5) × 5 + (6)
= 25 + 25 + 6 = 56
∴ LHS = RHS
∴ The given identity is true for the given values.

2. Consider, the special case of Identity (IV) with a = b, what do you get ? Is it related to Identity (I)?
Solution:
When a = b (∴ Take y for both)
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Substitute a = y and b = y
(x + y)(x + y) = x2 + (y + y)x + (y × y)
= x2 + (2y) x + (y × y) = x2 + 2xy + y2
∴ Yes, it is the same as Identity ( I).

3. Consider, the special case of Identity (IV) with a = -c and b = -c. What do you get ? Is it related to Identity (II) ?
Solution:
Identity (IV):
(x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Substitute (- c) instead of a and (- c) instead of b,
(x – c) (x – c)
= x2 + [(-c) + (-c)]x + [(-c) × (-c)]
= x2 + [- 2c] x + (c2)
= x2 – 2cx + c2
∴ Yes, it is the same as Identity (II).

4. Consider the special case of Identity (IV) with b = – a. What do you get ? Is it related to Identity (III)?
Solution :
Identity (IV):
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Substitute (-a) instead of b,
(x + a) (x – a)
= x2 + [a + (- a)] x + [a × (- a)]
= x2 + (a – a) x + [- a2]
= x2 + (0) x – a2
= x2 – a2
∴ Yes, it is the same as Identity (III).

PSEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 8 Comparing Quantities Ex 8.1

1. Find the ratio of the following.

Question (a).
Speed of a cycle 15 km per hour to the speed of scooter 30 km per hour.
Solution:
Speed of a cycle = 15 km/h
Speed of a scooter = 30 km / h
∴ Ratio of the speed of a cycle to the speed of a scooter
= \(\frac{15 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}}{30 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}}\)
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)
= 1 : 2

Question (b).
5 m to 10 km
Solution:
[Note : Unit of both quantities should be same.]
1 km = 1000 m
∴ 10 km = 10 × 1000 m
= 10,000 m
∴ Ratio of 5 m to 10 km = \(\frac{5 \mathrm{~m}}{10 \mathrm{~km}}\)
= \(\frac{5 \mathrm{~m}}{10000 \mathrm{~m}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2000}\)
= 1 : 2000

Question (c).
50 paise to ₹ 5
Solution:
[Note : Unit of both quantities should be same.]
₹ 1 = 100 paise
∴ ₹ 5 = 500 paise
∴ Ratio of 50 paise to ₹ 5 = \(\frac{50 \text { paise }}{₹ 5}\)
= \(\frac{50 \text { paise }}{500 \text { paise }}\)
= \(\frac{1}{10}\)
= 1 : 10

= (3 × 25) %
= 75 %

Question (b).
2 : 3
Solution:
Given ratio = 2 : 3
∴ Percentage = (\(\frac{2}{3}\) × 100) %
= (\(\frac{200}{3}\)) %
= 66 \(\frac{2}{3}\)%

3. 72% of 25 students are interested in Mathematics. How many are not interested in Mathematics?
Solution:
Total number of students = 25
Students interested in Mathematics = 72%
∴ Students who are not interested in Mathematics = (100 – 72) %
= 28 %
Number of students who are not interested in Mathematics = 28% of 25
= \(\frac{28}{100}\) × 25
= \(\frac{28}{4}\)
= 7
Thus, 7 students are not interested in Mathematics.

4. A football team won 10 matches out of the total number of matches they played. If their win percentage was 40, then how many matches did they play in all ?
Solution:
Number of matches won by the football team = 10
Let x matches be played by the team.
∴ 40% of x = 10
∴ \(\frac{40}{100}\) × x = 10
∴ x = \(\frac{10 \times 100}{40}\)
= 25
Thus, the football team played 25 matches in all.

5. If Chameli had ₹ 600 left after spending 75% of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?
Solution:
Let Chameli had in the beginning ₹ x
Percentage of money spent by Chameli = 75 %
Percentage of money left with Chameli = (100 – 75)%
= 25%
But money left = ₹ 600 (Given)
∴ 25% of x = 600
∴ \(\frac{25}{100}\) × x = 600
∴ x = \(\frac{600 \times 100}{25}\)
∴ x = 2400
Thus, Chameli had ₹ 2400 in the beginning.

6. If 60% people in a city like cricket, 30% like football and the remaining like other games, then what per cent of the people like other games? If the total number of people is 50 lakh, find the exact number who like each type of game.
Solution:
Percentage of people who like cricket = 60 %
Percentage of people who like football = 30 %
∴ Percentage of people who like other games = [ 100 – (60 + 30)]%
= (100 – 90)%
= 10 %
Total number of people = 50,00,000 (Given)
Now,
People who like cricket
= 60% of 50,00,000
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 50,00,000
= 60 × 50000
= 3000000
= 30 lakh

People who like football
= 30% of 5000000
= \(\frac {30}{100}\) × 5000000
= 30 × 50000
= 1500000
= 15 lakh

People who like other games
= 10% of 5000000
= \(\frac {10}{100}\) × 5000000
= 500000
= 5 lakh
Thus, number of people who like
cricket = 30 lakh,
football = 15 lakh
and other games = 5 lakh

1. State true or false for any integer m, m2 < m3. Why ?
Solution:
It seems true, but not always true.
m × m = m2 and m × m × m = m3
∴ m2 < m3
e.g. if m = 1
∴ m2 = 12 = 1 and m3 = 13 = 1
∴ m2 ≮  m3, but m2 = m3
If m = (- 1)
∴ m2 = (- 1)2 = 1 and m3 = (- 1)3 = (- 1)
∴ m2 ≮  m3, but m2 > m3
So the above statement is not always true.

3. You are told that 1,331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess without factorisation what is its cube root? Similarly, guess the cube roots of 4913, 12167, 32768.
Solution:
Yes, we can guess without prime factorisation.
1331 : Separate given number into two groups.
1331 → 1 and 331
331 → Units place digit of 331 is 1.
∴ Unit place digit of cube root of 1331 = 1 (∵ 13 = 1)
1 → 13 = 1 and 23 = 8
∴ Tens digit of cube root of 1331 = 1
Thus, the cube root of 1331 is 11.

(i) 4913 : Separate given number into two groups.
4913 → 4 and 913
913 → Units place digit of 913 is 3.
∴ Unit digit of cube root of 4913 = 7 (∵ 73 = 343)
4 → 13 = 1 and 23 = 8
1 < 4 < 8 (∴ 13 < 4 < 23)
∴ The tens digit of cube root of 4913 = 1
Thus, the cube root of 4913 is 17.

(ii) 12167 : Separate given number into two groups.
12167 → 12 and 167
167 → Units place digit of 167 is 7.
∴ Unit digit of cube root of 12167 = 3
(∵ 33 = 27)
12 → 23 = 8 and 33 = 27
8 < 12 < 27 (∵ 23 < 12 < 33)
∴ Tens place digit of cube root of 12167 = 2
Thus, the cube root of 12167 is 23.

(iii) 32768 : Separate given number into two groups.
32768 → 32 and 768
768 → Units place digit of 768 is 8.
∴ Unit digit of cube root of 32768 = 2 (∵ 23 = 8)
32 → 33 = 27 and 43 = 64
27 < 32 < 64 (∵ 33 < 32 < 43)
∴ The tens digit of cube root of 32768 = 3
Thus, the cube root of 32768 is 32.

By repeated subtraction of odd numbers starting from 1, find whether the following numbers are perfect squares or not? If the number is a perfect square then find its square root:

Question (i).
121
Solution:
Subtracting the successive odd numbers from 121 :
121 – 1 = 120, 120 – 3 = 117
117 – 5 = 112, 112 – 7 = 105
105 – 9 = 96, 96 – 11 = 85
85 – 13 = 72, 72 – 15 = 57
57 – 17 = 40, 40 – 19 = 21
21 – 21 = 0
∴ \(\sqrt{121}\) = 11
∴ 121 is a perfect square.

Question (ii).
55
Solution:
∵ 55 – 1 = 54, 54 – 3 = 51
51 – 5 = 46, 46 – 7 = 39
39 – 9 = 30, 30 – 11 = 19
19 – 13 = 6, 6 – 15 = – 9
55 does not reduced to 0 after subtracting odd numbers starting from 1.
∴ 55 is not a perfect square.

Question (iii).
36
Solution:
∵ 36 – 1 = 35, 35 – 3 = 32
32 – 5 = 27, 27 – 7 = 20
20 – 9 = 11, 11 – 11 = 0
∴ \(\sqrt{36}\) = 6
∴ 36 is a perfect square.

Question (iv).
49
Solution:
49 – 1 = 48, 48 – 3 = 45
45 – 5 = 40, 40 – 7 = 33
33 – 9 = 24, 24 – 11 = 13
13- 13 = 0
∴ \(\sqrt{49}\) = 7
∴ 49 is a perfect square.

Question (v).
90
Solution:
90 – 1 = 89, 89 – 3 = 86
86 – 5 = 81, 81 – 7 = 74
74 – 9 = 65, 65 – 11 = 54
54 – 13 = 41, 41 – 15 = 26
26 – 17 = 9, 9 – 19 = – 10
