√50 

=√25 x √2

=5√2

Any trinomal of degree 7. For example, 2x⁷ + x - 10

c. They are the main source of energy for the body

15 : 20 =  15/20 =15x5/20x5 = 75/100 That is, 75%

d. All of the above

The lower and upper class limits of class 35 to 40 are 35 and 40 respectively.

Mean = (10 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 9 + 6 + 9) / 7

= 49 / 7

∴ Mean of yield per acre prouce is 7 quintals.

P(y) = y²-2y +5

∴ P(2) = 2²- 2 × 2 + 5

= 4 - 4 + 5 

 = 5

Suppose, the amount sent to Alka every month is x. She spends 90% of it.

∴ She saves 10 % of the amount, which is Rs 120

∴ 120 = x × 10 / 100

∴ 120 × 10 = x

 x = 1200

∴ Amount sent to Alka every month is Rs 1200.
