1. On the occasion of Van Mahotsav it was decided by the Secretary of Residents Welfare Association to plant saplings of Ashoka trees and Mango trees in the locality. Accordingly Ashoka trees were planted in \( (3x + 1) \) rows having \( (x^3 + x^2 - 1) \) trees in each row and Mango trees were planted in \( (x - 3) \) rows having \( (2x^2 + 1) \) trees in each row.

(a) Find the total number of trees planted.

Solution

\[ \begin{align*} \text{No. of Ashoka trees planted} & = (3x + 1)(x^3 + x^2 - 1) \\ & = 3x (x^3 + x^2 - 1) + 1(x^3 + x^2 - 1) \\ & = 3x^4 + 3x^3 - 3x + x^3 + x^2 - 1 \\ & = 3x^4 + 4x^3 + x^2 - 3x - 1 \\ \\ \text{No. of Mango trees planted} & = (x - 3)(2x^2 + 1) \\ & = x (2x^2 + 1) -3(2x^2 + 1) \\ & = 2x^3 + x - 6x^2 - 3 \\ & = 2x^3 - 6x^2 + x - 3 \\ \\ \text{Total No. of trees planted} &= \text{No. of Ashoka trees} + \text{No. of Mango trees} \\ \\ & = (3x^4 + 4x^3 + x^2 - 3x - 1) + (2x^3 - 6x^2 + x - 3) \\ & = 3x^4 + 4x^3 + x^2 - 3x - 1 + 2x^3 - 6x^2 + x - 3 \\ & = 3x^4 {\color{magenta}+ 4x^3 + 2x^3} {\color{green}+ x^2 - 6x^2} {\color{blue} - 3x + x} {\color{orange} - 1 - 3} \\ & = 3x^4 {\color{magenta}+ 6x^3} {\color{green}- 5x^2} {\color{blue} - 2x} {\color{orange} - 4} \end{align*} \]

Answer Total number of trees planted \( = \color{red} 3x^4 + 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 2x - 4 \)

(b) Discuss the importance of trees in our life.

Answer Trees make the environment green, fresh and beautiful.

2. According to a data \( (p^2 - 4p + 3) \) road accidents occurred in City A, \( (6p - 7 + 2p^2) \) road accidents occurred in City B and \( (p + 10 + 2p^2) \) road accidents occurred in City C.

(a) Find the total number of road accidents occurred.

Solution

\[ \begin{align*} & \text{ Total no. of road accidents:} \\ & = \text{City }A + \text{City }B + \text{City }C \\ & = (p^2 - 4p + 3) + (6p - 7 + 2p^2) + (p + 10 + 2p^2) \\ & = p^2 - 4p + 3 + 6p - 7 + 2p^2 + p + 10 + 2p^2 \\ & = {\color{magenta} p^2 + 2p^2 + 2p^2} \color{green} - 4p + 6p + p \color{blue} + 3 - 7 + 10 \\ & = {\color{magenta} 5p^2} \color{green} + 3p \color{blue}+ 6 \end{align*} \]

Answer Total no. of road accidents: \( \color{red} 5p^2 + 3p + 6 \)

(b) What should be done to minimise accidents on roads?

Answer Traffic rules should be implemented and followed sincerely and defaulters should be penalised.
