38. The Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund was created on 28 March 2020,
following the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The fund will be used for combating, and containment and relief
efforts against the coronavirus outbreak and similar pandemic like situations in the future.

families so that the fund amount and amount received per family can be easily adjusted based on daily revised
numbers. The total fund allotted for a village is x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 9 . The officer has divided the fund equally among
families of the village and each family receives an amount of x2 + 2x + 2 . After distribution, some amount is left.
(i) How many families are there in the village?
(ii) If an amount of < 1911 is left after distribution, what is value of x ?
