I. Very Short answer /MCQ/ Assertion-Reason questions -1 Mark each
1. Degree of the polynomial 𝑝(𝑥) = (𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 2) is
(a) 2 (b) 1 (c) 0 (d) 3
2. Which one of the following algebraic expressions is a polynomial in
variable x ?
Directions: Choose the correct answer out of the following choices :
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the
correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not
the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement.
(d) Assertion is wrong statement but Reason is correct statement.
3. Assertion : 3x2 + x – 1 = (x + 1) (3x – 2) + 1.
Reason : To factorise ax2 + bx + c, write b as the sum of two numbers
whose product is ac.
4. Assertion : If f(x) = 3x7 – 4x6 + x + 9 is a polynomial, then its degree is 7.
Reason : Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in it.
5. Assertion : The degree of the polynomial (x – 2 )(x – 3 )(x + 4) is 4.
Reason : The number of zeroes of a polynomial is the degree of that
polynomial.

14. One day, the principal of a particular school visited the classroom. The
class teacher was teaching the concept of a polynomial to students. He
was very much impressed by her way of teaching. To check, whether the
students also understand the concept taught by her or not, he asked
various questions to students. Some of them are given below. Answer
them

15. Rahul is a creative person and loves to paint. During the lockdown, he
painted a wall of his daughter’s room with her favorite color olive green.
He did not paint the area covered by the window and the door. The figure
shows the dimensions of his daughter’s room that he painted.
The area of the wall including the door and the window is:
• (25x2+10) sq. units
• (25x+10) sq. units
• (10x2+10x) sq. units
• (25x2+10x) sq. units
Area of the wall that Rahul painted is an example of
• monomial
• both monomial and binomial
• binomial
• trinomial
The coefficient of x while finding the perimeter of the window is
• 2
• 3
• 5
• 6
