Detailed Solution

Given that the cost of production of each toy (in rupees) was found to be 55 minus the number of toys produced in a day.
Let the number of toys produced in a day = x.
Cost of production of each toy on the given day (in Rs.) = 55 – x.
Total cost of production on the given day (in Rs.) = x(55 – x).
According to the question, the total cost of production on the given day (in Rs.) = 750.
The equation formed will be
 x(55 – x) =750
⇒   55x− x 2 =750  
⇒   55x− x 2 −750=0  
⇒   x 2 −55x+750=0  
⇒   x 2 −25x−30x+750=0  
⇒   x(x−25)−30(x−25)=0  
Factoring the equation to get two linear factors, we have
⇒   x(x−25)−30(x−25)=0  
⇒(x−30)(x−25)=0 ⇒x−30=0 or x−25=0  
Thus, x=30 or x=25 are two roots of the equation x 2 −55x+750=0  
Therefore,  the correct option is 1.
