Answers
Answer:
Well this question falls under a particular topic known as ‘Time And Work’ and it can approached in the following manner:_
Let us suppose that in 1 day, 1 man completes ‘x’ part of the work and 1 boy completes ‘y’ part of the work.
A/Q; 2 men and 3 boys can complete the work in 10 days i.e, in 1 day they together can complete 1/10th of the work, which can be written as:
2x + 3y = 1/10
Similarly: 3 men and 2 boys can complete the work in 8 days i.e, in 1 day they can together complete 1/8th of the work, which can be written as:
3x + 2y =1/8
After simplifying both the above equations we have;
6x + 9y =3/10;
6x + 4y =2/8.
And on solving we have;
x = 7/200; y = 1/100.
So now we know the respective amount of work completed by 1 man and 1 boy in 1 day.
Therefore in 1 day, 2 men and 1 boy can complete = 2 * (7/200) + (1/100) = 2/25th of the work i.e, the whole work can be completed in 25/2 days.
Thus, the required answer is 25/2 i.e, twelve and half days.

Tip: Well solve in the same way and the teacher can’t even dare to deduct a single mark for it, just put the implies sign before the equations.

Question : Prove that√5 is irrational.
Answer :
Let us assume that √5 is a rational number.
Sp it t can be expressed in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers and q≠0
⇒√5=p/q
On squaring both the sides we get,
⇒5=p²/q²
⇒5q²=p² —————–(i)
p²/5= q²
So 5 divides p
p is a multiple of 5
⇒p=5m
⇒p²=25m² ————-(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get,
5q²=25m²
⇒q²=5m²
⇒q² is a multiple of 5
⇒q is a multiple of 5
Hence, p,q have a common factor 5. This contradicts our assumption that they are co-primes. Therefore, p/q is not a rational number
√5 is an irrational number
Hence proved
