37. Basketball and soccer are played with a spherical ball. Even though an athlete
dribbles the ball in both sports, a basketball player uses his hands and a soccer
player uses his feet. Usually, soccer is played outdoors on a large field and
basketball is played indoor on a court made out of wood. The projectile (path
traced) of soccer ball and basketball are in the form of parabola representing
quadratic polynomial.

Based on the above-information, answer the following questions:

(i) In the above graph, how many zeros are there for the polynomial? (1)
(ii) Find the quadratic polynomial whose zeros are -3 and 2. (1)

38. February 14 is celebrated as International Book Giving Day and many countries
in the world celebrate this day. Some people in India also started celebrating
this day and donated the following number of books of various subjects to a
public library:
History = 96, Science = 240, Mathematics = 336. These books have to be
arranged in minimum number of stacks such that e;ch stack contains books of
only one subject and the number of books on each stack is the same.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions
(i) How many books are arranged in each stack? ( 1)
(ii) How many stacks are used to arrange all the Mathematics books? ( 1)
(iii) Determine the total number of stacks that will be used for arranging all
the books. (2)
OR

1•8 cm, 2 ·2 cm and 2 ·5 cm respectively then find the height of each
stack of History, Science and Mathematics books.
