उत्तर
Let the present age of Shikha be x years
Then, 8 years later, age of her = (x + 8) years
Five years ago, her age = (x - 5) years
Then according to question,
(x - 5)(x + 8) = 30
x2 + 8x - 5x - 40 = 30
x2 + 3x - 40 - 30 = 0
x2 + 3x - 70 = 0
x2 - 7x + 10x - 70 = 0
x(x - 7) + 10(x - 7) = 0
(x - 7)(x + 10) = 0
So, either
x- 7 = 0
x = 7
Or
x + 10 = 0
x = -10
But the age never be negative
Hence, the present age of Shikha be 7 years.

Solve the following quadratic equation by factorisation.
`sqrt2 x^2 + 7x + 5sqrt2 = 0` to solve this quadratic equation by factorisation, complete the following activity.
`sqrt2 x^2 + 7x + 5sqrt2 = 0`
`sqrt2x^2+square+square+5sqrt2=0`
`x("______") + sqrt2 ("______") = 0`
`("______") (x + sqrt2) = 0`
`("______") = 0 or (x + sqrt2) = 0`
∴ x = `square or x = -sqrt2`
