Answer :
(i) Let the number of marbles John has be \(x\).
Thus, the number of marbles Jivanti has will be \(45 - x\).
After losing 5 marbles each, number of marbles left with John will be \(x - 5\)
and with Jivanti will be \(45 - x - 5 \)
= \(40 - x \)
Since the product of their final number of marbles is given to be 124,
\(\Rightarrow (x - 5)(40 - x) = 124\)
\(\Rightarrow 40x - x^2 - 200 + 5x = 124\)
\( \Rightarrow -x^2 + 45x - 324 = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2 - 45x + 324 = 0\)
(Splitting -45x as -9x - 36x )
\(\Rightarrow x^2 - 9x - 36x + 324 = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow x(x - 9) - 36(x - 9) = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow (x - 36)(x - 9) = 0\)
The roots of this equation are the values of x for which \( (x - 36)(x - 9) = 0 \)
which are,
\( x - 36 = 0 \) or \( x - 9 = 0\)
Thus, \(x = 36\) or \(x = 9\)
So, if the number of marbles with John is 36, the number of marbles with Jivanti will be 45 - 36 = 9.
If the number of marbles with John is 9, the number of marbles with Jivanti will be 45 - 9 = 36.
(ii) Let the number of toys produced in a day be \(x\)
Thus, the cost of production of each toy will be \(55 - x\) Rs.
Since the total production cost is given to be 750 Rs,
\(\Rightarrow x(55 - x) = 750\)
\(\Rightarrow 55x - x^2 - 750 = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2 - 55x + 750 = 0\)
(Splitting -55x as -30x - 25x )
\(\Rightarrow x^2 - 30x - 25x + 750 = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow x(x - 30) - 25(x - 30) = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow (x - 25)(x - 30) = 0\)
The roots of this equation are the values of x for which \( (x - 25)(x - 30) = 0 \)
which are,
\( x - 25 = 0 \) or \( x - 30 = 0\)
Thus, \(x = 25\) or \(x = 30\)
So, if the number of toys produced in a day is 25, the cost of production of each toy will be 55 - 25 = 30Rs.
If the number of toys produced in a day is 30, the cost of production of each toy will be 55 - 30 = 25Rs.
Thus, the number of toys produced on that day are either 25 or 30.
