1. 5
I. 10p^2 + 39p - 88 = 0
or, 10p^2 - 16p + 55p - 88 = 0
or, 2p(5p - 8) + 11(5p - 8) = 0
or, (2p + 11) (5p - 8) = 0
p = -11/2 or 8/5
II. 21q^2 + 41q - 40 = 0

or, 7q(3q + 8) - 5(3q + 8) = 0
or, (7q - 5) (3q + 8) = 0
q = 5/7 or -8/3
We can't get specific relationship between p and q.
2. 1;
I. 14p^2 - 43p + 20 = 0
or, 14p^2 - 35p - 8p + 20 = 0
or, 7p(2p - 5) - 4(2p - 5) = 0

or, (9q - 5) (11q - 1) = 0
or, (9q - 5) (11q - 1) = 0
q = 5/9 or 1/11
Hence, p < q.

p = 5/4, 5/4
II. 25q^2 - 40q + 16 = 0
or, 25q^2 - 20q - 20q + 16 = 0
or, 5q(5q - 4) - 4(5q - 4) = 0
or, (5q - 4) (5q - 4) = 0
q = 4/5, 4/5
Hence, p > q.
5. 5
I. 15p^2 + 38p + 24 = 0
or, 15p2 + 20p + 18p + 24 = 0
or, 5p(3p + 4) + 6(3p + 4) = 0
or, (5p + 6) (3p + 4) = 0
p = -6/5 or -4/3
II. 20q^2 + 49q + 30 = 0
or, 20q^2 + 24q + 25q + 30 = 0
or, 4q(5q + 6) + 5(5q + 6) = 0
or, (4q + 5) (5q + 6) = 0
q = -5/4 or -6/5
Hence, we can't get any specific relationship between p and q.
6. 5; The quantity of pure milk to be added
= {12 * (7 - 4)}/4 = 9 litres
7. 1
Suppose the present ages of P and Q are 4k and 5k respectively.
Then,
(4k + 6)/(5k + 6) = 7/8
Sum of the ages of P and Q
= 4k + 5k = 9k
= 9 × 2 = 18 years

A's, B's and C's 1 day work = 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/100
Total 3 day's work = 28/300
Total 30 day work = 280/300
Remaining work = 20/300 = 1/15
Now A's 1 day work = 1/20
Then remaining work = (1/60)/(1/30) = 1/2
Now, B's then B complet the remaining work in 1/2
Total number of days = 31 1/2 days.
