Question 1.

If the sum of the roots of the equation 3x2 – (3k – 2) x – (k – 6) = 0 is equal to the product of its roots then k = ?
A. 1

B. – 1

C. 0

D. 2


Answer:

Let the roots of the given quadratic equation 3x2 – (3k – 2)x – (k – 6)=0 be α and β.


Now,


sum of roots = α + β = (3k – 2)/3 and,


product of roots = αβ = – (k – 6)/3


[∵ If α and β are the roots of quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c=0 then α + β = – b/a and αβ = c/a]


According to question –


sum of roots = product of roots


∴ α + β = αβ


⇒ (3k – 2)/3 = – (k – 6)/3


⇒ 3k – 2 = – k + 6


⇒ 4k = 8


∴ k = 2


Hence, The value of k is 2.


Question 2.

The number of all 2-digit numbers divisible by 6 is
A. 12

B. 15

C. 16

D. 18


Answer:

All 2-digit numbers divisible by 6 are as follows: –


6, 12, ………., 96


The above series of numbers forms an arithmetic progression with


first term(a) = 6 and,


common difference(d) = (n + 1)th term – nth term = 12 – 6 = 6


last term or nth term(an) = 96


Let the number of terms in above series be n.


∵ an = a + (n – 1) × d


⇒ 96 = 6 + (n – 1) × 6


⇒ 90 = 6n – 6


⇒ 6n = 96


∴ n = 16


Thus, total no. of all 2-digit numbers divisible by 6.


Question 3.

A fair die is thrown once. The Probability of getting a composite number is
A. 1/3

B. 1/6

C. 2/3

D. 0


Answer:

Let P be the event of getting a composite number while throwing a dice.


Total no. of outcomes when n number of die are thrown = 6n


∴ no. of total outcomes = n(S) = 6


Sample Space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}


favourable elementary events = getting a composite number


= {4, 6}


∴ no. of favourable elementary events = n(P) = 2


Thus, the probability of getting a composite number = n(P)/n(S)


= 2/6


= 1/3


Question 4.

Which of the following statements is true?
A. The tangents drawn at the end points of a chord of a circle are parallel.

B. From a point P in the exterior of a circle, only two secants can be drown through P to the circle.

C. From a point P in the plane of a circle, two tangents can be drawn to the circle.

D. The perpendicular at the point of contact to the tangent to a circle passes through the centre of the circle.


Answer:

A Tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point.


The tangents drawn at the end points of a chord of a circle can be parallel only if that chord is the diameter of the circle. This will be clear from the fig.1 and fig.2 shown below.



Thus, statement (a) is incorrect.


A secant is a segment that intersects a circle twice.


From a point P in the exterior of a circle, infinite no. of secants can be drown through P to the circle. This can be shown in the fig.3 drawn below.



Thus, statement (b) is incorrect.


A Tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point.


From a point P in the plane of a circle, two tangents can be drawn to the circle only if point P is exterior to the circle. This can be shown in the fig.4 drawn below.



Thus, statement (c) is incorrect.



In the above fig.5, we take a point Q on the tangent XY to the circle with centre O. Obviously, this point Q should lie outside to the circle otherwise XY will become secant. And, P is the point of contact. Clearly,


OQ > OP


Also, this is also true for all the points lying on the tangent XY except point P. And,


we know that perpendicular distance is always the shortest distance.


OP is shortest of all the distances b/w points O and any other points on XY i.e.


OP ⊥ XY


Hence, The perpendicular at the point of contact to the tangent to a circle passes through the centre of the circle.


Thus, statement (d) is correct.


Question 5.

In the given figure, PA and PB are tangents to a circle such that PA = 8 cm and ∠ APB = 60˚. The length of the chord AB is


A. 8 cm

B. 10 cm

C. 12 cm

D. 6 cm


Answer:

In Δ PAB,


∠ APB = 60° and PA = 8 cm [given]


∴ PB = PA = 8 cm


[∵ tangents drawn from an exterior point to the circle are equal in length]


⇒ ∠ PAB = ∠ PBA = θ [LET]


Now, In Δ PAB


∠ APB + ∠ PAB + ∠ PBA = 180° [∵ Sum of all the angles of a Δ is 180°]


⇒ 60° + θ + θ = 180°


⇒ 60° + 2θ = 180°


⇒ 2θ = 120°


∴ θ = 60°


Thus, Δ PAB is an equilateral Triangle.


∴ Length of chord AB = 8 cm.


Question 6.

The angle of depression of an object from a 60-m-high tower is 30˚. The Distance of the object from the tower is
A. 20√ 3 m

B. 60√ 3 m

C. 40√ 3 m

D. 120 m


Answer:


Let the Distance of the object from the tower be x meters.


∴ BC = x m


Given –


height of tower = AB = 60 m


Angle of depression = ∠ DAC = 30°


∴ ∠ BCA = ∠ DAC = 30°


[∵ When twolines are intersected by a third line then theAlternate interior angles will be equal.]


Now, In Δ ABC


tan 30° = AB/BC = 60/x [∵ tan θ = perpendicular/base]


⇒ 1/√3 = 60/x


∴ x = 60√3 meters


Question 7.

In what ratio does the point P (2, – 5) divide the line segment joining A (– 3,5) and B(4, – 9)?
A. 3:2

B. 2:1

C. 5:2

D. 5:3


Answer:


Let the point P (2, – 5) divide the line segment joining A (– 3,5) and B(4, – 9) in the ratio m:n.


Let (x,y) ≡ (2, – 5)


(x1,y1) ≡ (– 3,5)


and (x2,y2) ≡ (4, – 9)


Using Section Formula,




⇒ 2 × (m + n) = 4m – 3n


⇒ 2m + 2n = 4m – 3n


⇒ 5n = 2m


∴ m:n = 5:2


Since the ratio is positive, Point P divides the line segment AB internally in the ratio 5:2.


Question 8.

Three solid spheres of radii 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm are melted to form a sphere. The radius of the sphere so formed is
A. 24cm

B. 16 cm

C. 14 cm

D. 12 cm


Answer:

Let the radius of the sphere so formed be r cm.


Given –


Radius of 1st sphere(r1) = 6 cm


Radius of 2nd sphere(r2) = 8 cm


Radius of 3rd sphere(r3) = 10 cm


After Melting all these spheres, the volume will remain unchaged.


∴ Vol. of 1st sphere + Vol. of 2nd sphere + Vol. of 3rd sphere


= Vol. of new sphere so formed


⇒ (4/3)π(r1)3 + (4/3)π(r2)3 + (4/3)π(r3)3 = (4/3)π(r)3


Taking out (4/3)π from both sides, we get –


⇒ (r1)3 + (r2)3 + (r3)3 = (r)3


⇒ (6)3 + (8)3 + (10)3 = (r)3


⇒ 216 + 512 + 1000 = (r)3


⇒ (r)3 = 1728


∴ r = 12 cm


Thus, the radius of new sphere is 12 cm.


Question 9.

Find the value of p for which the quadratic equation

x2 – 2px + 1 = 0 has no real roots.


Answer:

The given quadratic equation is x2 – 2px + 1 = 0.


And, Discriminant D of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is given by –


D = b2 – 4ac


Comparing the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 with given quadratic equation is x2 – 2px + 1 = 0, we get –


a = 1, b = – 2p and, c = 1


∴ D = (– 2p)2 – 4(1)(1) = 4p2 – 4 = 4(p2 – 1)


For no real roots,


D < 0


⇒ 4(p2 – 1) < 0


⇒ p2 – 1 < 0


⇒ (p + 1)(p – 1) < 0


∴ p ∈ (– 1,1)


Thus, p can take any values between – 1 and 1 for no real roots of given quadratic equation.



Question 10.

Find the 10th term form the end of the AP 4, 9, 14, .. , 254.


Answer:

The above series of numbers forms an arithmetic progression with


first term(a) = 4 and,


common difference(d) = (n + 1)th term – nth term = 9 – 4 = 5


last term or nth term(an) = 254


Let the total no. of terms in above A.P be n.


∴ an = a + (n – 1) × d


⇒ 254 = 4 + (n – 1) × 5


⇒ 250 = 5n – 5


⇒ 5n = 255


∴ n = 51


∴ 10th term from the end of AP = 51 – 10 + 1 = 42th term from the beginning


∴ 42th term = a42 = a + (42 – 1)d


= 4 + 41 × 5


= 209


Hence, 10th term from the end of AP is 209.



Question 11.

Which term of the AP 24, 21 ,18, 15, … is the first negative term?


Answer:

Let the nth term of the AP be the first negative term.


In the given AP –


first term(a) = 24 and,


common difference(d) = (n + 1)th term – nth term = 21 – 24 = – 3


According to question –


∴ an < 0


⇒ a + (n – 1) × d < 0


⇒ 24 + (n – 1) × (– 3) < 0


⇒ – 3n + 27 < 0


⇒ 3n > 27


∴ n > 9


Thus, the first negative term of given AP is 10th term.



Question 12.

A circle is touching the side BC of a Δ ABC at P and is touching AB and AC when produced at Q and R respectively.

Prove that AQ = 1/2 (perimeter of Δ ABC).



Answer:

In the given figure,


AQ and AR are two tangents drawn from an exterior point A at contact points Q and R on the circle.


∴ AQ = AR


⇒ AQ = AC + CR…..(1)


Similarly,


BQ and BP are two tangents drawn from an exterior point B at contact points Q and P on the circle.


∴ BQ = BP…..(2)


And,


CR and CP are two tangents drawn from an exterior point C at contact points R and P on the circle.


∴ CR = CP…..(3)


Now, Equation (1) can be written as –


AQ = (AC + CR + AC + CR)/2


⇒ AQ = (AC + CP + AC + CR)/2 [using(3)]


⇒ AQ = (AC + CP + AR)/2


⇒ AQ = (AC + CP + AQ)/2


⇒ AQ = (AC + CP + AB + BQ)/2


⇒ AQ = (AC + CP + AB + BP)/2 [using(2)]


⇒ AQ = (AB + BC + AC)/2 [∵BP + CP=BC]


Thus, AQ = (1/2) × perimeter of Δ ABC



Question 13.

Two vertical of a ΔABC are given by A(6, 4) and B (– 2, 2) and its centroid is G(3, 4). Find the coordinates of its third vertex C.


Answer:

Let the third vertex C ≡ (x3,y3)


In a Δ ABC,


Vertex A ≡ (x1,y1) ≡ (6,4)


Vertex B ≡ (x2,y2) ≡ (– 2,2)


Centroid(G) ≡ (x,y) ≡ (3,4)


Centroid of a Δ ABC is given by –


x = (x1 + x2 + x3)/3


⇒ 3 = (6 – 2 + x3)/3


⇒ 9 = 4 + x3


∴ x3 = 5


And,


y = (y1 + y2 + y3)/3


⇒ 4 = (4 + 2 + y3)/3


⇒ 12 = 6 + y3


∴ y3 = 6


Thus, the coordinates of third vertex C is (5,6).



Question 14.

A box contain 150 orange is taken out from the box at random and the probability of its being rotten is 0.06 then find the number of good orange in the box.


Answer:

Total no. of Oranges = 150


Probability of rotten oranges =0.06


∴ Probability of good oranges = 1 – 0.06 = 0.94


⇒ (no. of good oranges)/(no. of total oranges) = 0.94


⇒ no. of good oranges = 0.94 × 150 = 141


Thus, the number of good orange in the box = 141



Question 15.

A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere of common base radius 7 cm. The total height of the toy is 31 cm. Find the total surface area of the toy.


Answer:


fig.10


Given –


Total Height of cone = 31 cm


Radius of hemisphere(r) = Base Radius of Cone


= Height of hemisphere


= 7 cm


∴ Height of cone(h) = 31 – 7 = 24 cm


Slant Height of Cone(l) = √(h2 + r2) = √(242 + 72) = 25 cm


Now,


Total Surface Area of the Toy


= Curved Surface Area of Cone + Curved Surface Area of Hemisphere


= πrl + 2πr2


= π(rl + 2r2)


= π(7 × 25 + 2 × (7)2)


= π(175 + 98)


= π(273)


= 3.14 × 273


= 857.22 cm2



Question 16.

Solve: a2b2x2 – (4b4 – 3a4) x – 12a2b2 = 0.


Answer:

The given quadratic equation is –


a2b2x2 –(4b4 – 3a4) x – 12a2b2 = 0


Discriminant D of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is given by –


D = b2 – 4ac


Comparing the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 with given quadratic equation is a2b2x2 –(4b4 –3a4) x – 12a2b2 = 0,we get –


a = a2b2 , b = –(4b4 – 3a4) and, c = – 12a2b2


∴ The roots of the given quadratic equation is given by –









Thus, the roots of the given quadratic equation are (4b2/a2) and (– 3a2/b2).



Question 17.

If the 8th term of an AP is 31 and its 15th term is 16 more than the 11th term, find the AP.


Answer:

Let the first term and common difference of given AP be a and d respectively.


According to question –


8th term of AP = a8 = 31 [Given]


⇒ a + (8 – 1)d = 31


⇒ a + 7d = 31…..(1)


15th term of AP = a15 = 16 + a11


⇒ a + (15 – 1)d = 16 + a + (11 – 1)d


⇒ 14d = 16 + 10d


⇒ 4d = 16


∴ d = 4


Substituting the value of d in equation(1), we get –


a = 31 – 7 × 4 = 31 – 28 = 3


Thus, the required AP is 3,7,11,15,…….



Question 18.

Find the sum of all two-digit odd positive numbers.


Answer:

All the two-digit odd positive numbers are –


11,13,15,17,……….,99


The above series of numbers forms an arithmetic progression with


first term(a) = 11 and,


common difference(d) = (n + 1)th term – nth term = 13 – 11 = 2


last term or nth term(an) = 99


Let the total no. of terms in above A.P be n.


∴ an = a + (n – 1) × d


⇒ 99 = 11 + (n – 1) × 2


⇒ 88 = 2n – 2


⇒ 2n = 90


∴ n = 45


Sum of all the 45 terms of the AP is given by –


S45 =(45/2)(11 + 99)


[∵Sn = (n/2)(a + l) =(n/2)[(2a + (n – 1)d]


=(45/2) × 110


=45 × 55


=2475


Thus, the sum of all two-digit odd positive numbers = 2475.



Question 19.

In the adjoining figure, PA and PB are tangents drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O. Prove that

∠ APB = 2 ∠ OAB.



Answer:


fig.11


Let ∠ APB = θ


In Δ APB,


PA = PB


[∵ Tangents drawn from an exterior point to the circle are equal in length]


⇒ Δ APB is an isoceles triangle.


∴ ∠ PAB = ∠ PBA = α [LET]


Now,


∠ APB + ∠ PAB + ∠ PBA = 180° [∵ sum of all the angles of Δ=180°]


⇒ θ + α + α = 180°


⇒ 2α = 180° – θ


∴ α = ∠ PAB = 90° – (θ/2)


Also, OA⊥AP


[∵ radius of a circle is alwaysto the tangent at the point of contact.]


∴ ∠ PAB + ∠ OAB = 90°


⇒ 90° – (θ/2) + ∠ OAB = 90°


⇒ ∠ OAB = (θ/2) = (1/2)∠ APB


∴ ∠ APB = 2 ∠ OAB


Hence, Proved.



Question 20.

In the adjoining figure, quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribed. If the radius of the in circle with centre O is 10 cm and AD ⊥ DC, find the value of x.



Answer:

In the given figure,


DS and DR are the two tangents drawn from an external point D at the point of contacts S and R respectively. And,


OS ⊥ DS and OR ⊥ DR


[∵ radius of a circle is alwaysto the tangent at the point of contact.]


⇒ OSDR is a square [∵ AD ⊥ DC (Given)]


∴ DR = 10 cm


Similarly,


BP and BQ are the two tangents drawn from an external point B at the point of contacts A and Q respectively.


∴ BP = BQ = 27 cm


[∵ Tangents drawn from an exterior point to the circle are equal in length]


⇒ QC = BC – BQ = 38 – 27 = 11 cm


Also, CR and CQ are the two tangents drawn from an external point C at the point of contacts R and Q respectively.


∴ CR = CQ = 11 cm


[∵ Tangents drawn from an exterior point to the circle are equal in length]


∴ DC = x = DR + CR = 10 + 11 = 21 cm.


Thus, the value of x is 21 cm.


Question 21.

Draw a circle of radius 6 cm. From a point 10 cm away from its centre, construct a pair of tangents to the circle. Measure the length of each of the tangent segments.


Answer:

Steps of Construction:


1. Draw a circle with centre O with radius OL and a point P outside it. Join PO and bisect it. Let M be the midpoint of PO.



fig.13


2. Taking M as centre and MO as radius, we will draw a circle.


Let it intersect the given circle at the points Q and R.



fig.14


3. Join PQ and PR.


Then PQ and PR are the required two tangents.



fig.15


4. Join OQ. Then ∠ PQO is an angle in the semicircle and,


∴ ∠ PQO = 90°



fig.16


Since, OQ is a radius of the given circle, PQ has to be a tangent to the circle.


Similarly,


PR is also a tangent to the circle.


After measuring the lenghts of tangents using scale, we find that both the tangents are equal in length which concludes that all the measurements and steps done correctly.


Length of Each Tangent = 8 cm



Question 22.

The three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD, taken in order are A (1, – 2), B (3, 6) and C (5, 10). Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex D.


Answer:

Let the coordinates of the fourth vertex D be (x4,y4).


We know that –


Diagonals of agm bisect each other.


∴ Mid – point of diagonal AC ≡ Mid – point of diagonal BD



⇒ 6 = 3 + x4 and 8 = 6 + y4


⇒ x4 = 3 and y4 = 2


Thus, the coordinates of the fourth vertex D is (3,2).



Question 23.

Find the third vertex of a Δ ABC if two of its vertices are

B (– 3, 1) and C (0, – 2) and its centroid is at the origin.


Answer:

Let the third vertex A ≡ (x1,y1)


In a Δ ABC,


Vertex B ≡ (x2,y2) ≡ (– 3,1)


Vertex C ≡ (x3,y3) ≡ (0, – 2)


Centroid(G) ≡ (x,y) ≡ (0,0)


Centroid of a Δ ABC is given by –


x = (x1 + x2 + x3)/3


⇒ 0 = (x1 – 3 + 0)/3


⇒ 0 = x1 – 3


∴ x1 = 3


And,


y = (y1 + y2 + y3)/3


⇒ 0 = (y1 + 1 – 2)/3


⇒ 0 = y1 – 1


∴ y1 = 1


Thus, the coordinates of third vertex A is (3,1).



Question 24.

Cards marked with all 2-digit numbers are placed in a box and are mixed thoroughly. One card is drawn at random. Find the probability that the number on the card is

(a) divisible by 10

(b) a perfect square number

(c) a prime number less than 25


Answer:

Sample Space = Cards marked with 2-digit numbers


= {10,11,12,……..,99)


No. of Sample Space = n(S) = 90


(a) Let P be the event of getting a card marked with 2-digit numbers which is divisible by 10.


∴ favourable elementary events = {10,20,30,…………,90}


no. of favourable elementary events = n(P) = 9


Thus, Probability of getting a card marked with number divisible by 10 = n(P)/n(S) = 9/90 = 1/10


(b) Let P be the event of getting a card marked with 2-digit square numbers.


∴ favourable elementary events = {16,25,36,…….,81}


no. of favourable elementary events = n(P) = 6


Thus, Probability of getting a card marked with number divisible by 10 = n(P)/n(S) = 6/90 = 1/15


(c) Let P be the event of getting a card marked with 2-digit prime numbers less than 25.


∴ favourable elementary events = {11,13,17,19,23}


no. of favourable elementary events = n(P) = 5


Thus, Probability of getting a card marked with number divisible by 10 = n(P)/n(S) = 5/90 = 1/18



Question 25.

A road which is 7 m wide surrounds a circular park whose circumference is 352 m. Find the area of the road. [Take π = 22/7.]


Answer:


fig.17


Let the radius of the circular park be r meters.


Given –


Circumference of circular park = 352 m


⇒ 2 × π × r = 352


⇒ 2 × (22/7) × r = 352


⇒ r = (7/44) × 352


∴ r = 7 × 8 = 56 m


⇒ outer radius = 56 + 7 = 63 m


∴ Area of the road = π(632 – 562)


= (22/7)(63 + 56)(63 – 56)


= (22/7)(119)(7)


= 22 × 119


= 2618 m2



Question 26.

A round table cover shown in the adjoining figure has six equal designs. If the radius of the cover is 28 cm, find the cost of making the designs at the rate of ₹ 0.50 per cm2. [Use √ 3 = 1.73.]



Answer:

In the given figure, all the six desings covering equal area of the circle, therefore each design will subtend equal angles at the centre which is equal to (360°/6) i.e. 60°.


Also, the six triangles will be equal in area which is obtained by joining vertices of hexagon to the centre.


The triangle obtained will be equilateral because adjacent sides will be equal to the radius i.e. base angles will be equal and angle b/w them is 60° which concludes that other two angles will also be equal to 60° each.


∴ Area of six equilateral Δ = 6 × (√3/4) × (radius)2


= (3√3/2) × (28)2


= 1.5 × 1.73 × 784


= 2034.48 cm2


Area of Circle = π × (radius)2 = (22/7) × (28)2 = (22/7) × 784


= 22 × 112


= 2464 cm2


Area of the designs = Area of Circle – Area of six equilateral Δ


= (2464 – 2034.48) cm2


= 429.52 cm2


∴ Cost of making designs =Rs. (0.50 × 429.52) = Rs. 214.76



Question 27.

In an equilateral triangle of side 12 cm, a circle is inscribed touching its sides. Find the area of the portion of the portion of the triangle not included in the circle. [Take √ 3 = 1.73 and π = 3.14.]


Answer:


fig.19


Let the radius of the circle be r cm.


In the fig.19,


AR and AQ are making a pair of tangents drawn from vertex A of Δ ABC on the circle.


∴ AR = AQ = x [LET]


BR and BP are making a pair of tangents drawn from vertex B of Δ ABC on the circle.


∴ BR = BP = y [LET]


CP and CQ are making a pair of tangents drawn from vertex C of Δ ABC on the circle.


∴ CP = CQ = z [LET]


Given –


Δ ABC is an equilateral triangle.


∴ AB = BC = AC = 12 cm


⇒ AR + BR = BP + CP = AQ + CQ = 12


⇒ x + y = y + z = x + z = 12…..(1)


Now,


(x + y + y + z + x + z) = (12 + 12 + 12)


⇒ 2 × (x + y + z) = 36


⇒ x + y + z = 18…..(2)


Subtracting equation(1) from equation(2), we get –


x = y = z = 6 cm


Also, the line joining the centre the circle to the vertices of Δ which circumscribes the circle bisects the angles of a Δ.


∴ ∠ OBP = 30°


In Δ BOP,


tan ∠ OBP = OP/BP = r/6


⇒ tan 30° = r/6


⇒ 1/√3 = r/6


∴ r = 6/√3 = 2√3 = 3.46 cm


Area of Δ ABC = (√3/4) × (side)2


=(1.73/4) × (12)2


= 1.73 × 36


= 62.28 cm2


Area of circle = π × (radius)2


= 3.14 × (3.46)2


= 37.59 cm2


Thus, Area of the triangle which is not included in the circle


= Area of Δ ABC – Area of circle


= (62.28 – 37.59) cm2


= 24.69 cm2



Question 28.

If a sphere has the same surface area as the total surface area of a circular cone of height 40 cm and radius 30 cm, find the radius of the sphere.


Answer:

Let the radius of the sphere be r cm.


Given –


Height of cone(h) = 40 cm


Radius of cone(r) = 30 cm


∴ Slant height of cone(l) = √(h2 + r2) = √(402 + 302) = 50 cm


According to question –


Surface Area of Sphere = Total Surface Area of Circular Cone


⇒ 4 × π × r2 = π × r × (r + l)


⇒ 4r = r + l


⇒ 3r = l


∴ r = (l/3) = (50/3) cm


Thus, the radius of the Sphere = (50/3) cm



Question 29.

A two–digit number is such that the product of its digits is 35. If 18 is added to the number, the digit interchange their places. Find the number.


Answer:

Let the two-digit number be xy(i.e. 10x + y).


After reversing the digits of the number xy, the new number becomes yx (i.e. 10y + x).


According to question –


xy = 35…..(1)


And,


(10x + y) + 18 = (10y + x)


⇒ 9x – 9y = – 18


⇒ x – y = – 2…..(2)


From equation(2), we get –


x = y – 2…..(3)


Substitute the value of x in equation(1), we get –


y(y – 2) = 35


⇒ y2 – 2y – 35 = 0


⇒ y2 – 7y + 5y – 35 = 0


⇒ y(y – 7) + 5(y – 7) = 0


⇒ (y – 7)(y + 5) = 0


∴ y = 7 [∵ y = – 5 is invalid because digit of a number can't be – ve.]


Substituting the value of y in equation (3), we get –


x = 5


Thus, the required number is 57.



Question 30.

Two water taps together can fill a tank in hours. The larger tap takes 10 hours less than the smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can separately fill the tank.


Answer:

Let the tap of the smaller diameter and larger diameter fills the tank alone in x and (x – 10) hours respectively.


In 1 hour, the tap of the smaller diameter can fill 1/x part of the tank.


In 1 hour, the tap of the larger diameter can fill 1/(x – 10) part of the tank.


Two water taps together can fill a tank in hours = 75/ 8 hours.


But in 1 hour the taps fill 8/75 part of the tank.





⇒ 4x2 – 40x = 75x – 375


⇒ 4x2 – 115x + 375 = 0


⇒ 4x2 – 100x – 15x + 375 = 0


⇒ 4x(x – 25) – 15( x – 25) = 0


⇒ (4x -15)( x – 25) = 0


⇒ x = 25, 15/4


Taking x = 15 / 4


⇒ x – 10 = -25 /4 (But, time cannot be negative)


Now, taking x = 25


⇒ x – 10 = 15


Larger diameter of the tap can the tank 15 hours and smaller diameter of the tank can fill


the tank in 25 hours.



Question 31.

Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment joining the points of contact to the centre.


Answer:


fig.20


In the fig.20, PA and PB are the two tangents drawn from an external point P at the point of contacts A and B on the circle with centre O respectively.


∴ OA ⊥ PA and OB ⊥ PB


[∵ radius of a circle is alwaysto the tangent at the point of contact.]


∴ ∠ OAP = ∠ OBP = 90°


we know that –


Sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral = 360°


In quadrilateral OAPB,


∠ OAP + ∠ OBP + ∠ APB + ∠ AOB = 360°


⇒ 180° + ∠ APB + ∠ AOB = 360°


∴ ∠ APB + ∠ AOB = 180°


Hence, the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment joining the points of contact to the centre.



Question 32.

From the top of a 7 – m high building, the angle of elevation of the top of a cable tower is 60˚ and the angle of depression of its foot is 45˚. Find the height of the tower. [Given √ 3 = 1.73.]


Answer:


fig.21


Given –


Angle of Elevation = ∠ EAC = 60°


Angle of Depression = ∠ EAD = ∠ BDA = 45°


Height of Building = AB = ED = 7 m


In Δ ABD,


tan 45° = AB/BD


⇒ 1 = 7/BD


⇒ BD = 7 m


∴ AE = BD = 7 m [from fig.21]


And, In Δ ACE


tan ∠ CAE = CE/AE


⇒ tan 60° = CE/7


⇒ √3 = CE/7


⇒ CE = 7√3 m


Thus, Height of Tower = CE + ED = 7√3 + 7


= 7(1.73 + 1)


= 7 × 2.73


= 19.11 m



Question 33.

Puja works in a bank and she gets a monthly salary of ₹ 35000 with annual increment of ₹ 1500. What would be her monthly salary in the 10th year?


Answer:

Given –


Monthly Salary = Rs. 35000


∴ Annual Salary = Rs. (12 × 35000) = Rs. 420000


Annual Increment = Rs. 1500


Let us consider this situation as an AP with


first term = a = Rs. 420000


and, Common Difference = d = Rs. 1500


∴ Salary in 10th year is given by –


a10 = a + (10 – 1)d = 420000 + 9 × 1500 = Rs. 433500


Thus, Monthly Salary in 10th year = Rs. (433500/12)


= Rs. 36125



Question 34.

In the given figure ABCD represent the quadrant of a circle of radius 7 cm with centre A. Calculate the area of the shaded region. [Take π = 22/7.]



Answer:

Area of quadrant CAB = (π/4) × (radius)2


= (22/28) × (7)2


= 37.5 cm2


Area of Δ EAB = (1/2) × base × height


= (1/2) × 7 × 2


= 7 cm2


Thus, Area of shaded Region


= Area of quadrant CAB – Area of Δ EAB


= (37.5 – 7) cm2


= 30.5 cm2



Question 35.

The radii of the circular end of a solid frustum of a cone are 33 cm and 27 cm and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its capacity and total surface area. [Take π = 22/7.]


Answer:


fig.23


Given –


MC = 27 cm, NE = 33 cm and CE = 10 cm


Let AM = h cm, AN = H cm and AC = l cm


∴ AE = AC + CE = (l + 10) cm


In the above fig.19,


Δ AMC and Δ ANE are similar triangles because their corresponding angles are equal.



…..(1)


On cross multiplying last two fractional parts of equation(1), we get –


33l = 27l + 270


⇒ 6l = 270


∴ l = 45 cm


∴ AE = 45 + 10 = 55 cm


In Δ ANE,


AN2 + NE2 = AE2 [by using pythagoras theorem]


⇒ H2 + (33)2 = (55)2


⇒ H2 + 1089 = 3025


⇒ H2 = 1936


∴ H = 44 cm


From first and last fractional parts of equation(1), we get –


h = (27/33) × 44 = 36 cm


∴ Height of frustum = H – h = 44 – 36 = 8 cm


Now,


Capacity of Frustum = Vol. of Cone ADE – Vol. of cone ABC


= (1/3)π × (NE)2 × (AN) – (1/3)π × (MC)2 × (AM)


= (1/3)π × [(33)2 × (44) – (27)2 × (36)]


= (22/21) × [47916 – 26244]


= (22/21) × 21672


= 22 × 1032


= 22704 cm3


Total Surface Area of Frustum


= Area of Curved Part(Trapezium)


+ Area of Upper Circular Part


+ Area of lower Circular Part


= [(1/2) × (sum of parallel sides) × (height of frustum)]


+ [π × (MC)2] + [π × (NE)2]


= [(1/2) × 2π(27 + 33) × 8] + [(22/7) × (27)2] + [(22/7) × (33)2]


= 480(22/7) + (22/7) × [(27)2 + (33)2]


= 480(22/7) + (22/7) × 1818


= (22/7) × 2298


= 22 × 328.28


= 7222.16 cm2


Thus, Capacity of Frustum = 22704 cm3


and, Total Surface Area of Frustum = 7222.16 cm2



Question 36.

From an external point p, tangents PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O. If CD is the tangent to the circle at the point E and PA = 14 cm, find the perimeter of ΔPCD.



Answer:

In the given fig.,


CA and CE are the two tangents drawn from an external point C at the point of contacts A and E respectively.


∴ CA = CE


[∵ Tangents drawn from an exterior point to the circle are equal in length]


Similarly, DE and DB are the two tangents drawn from an external point D at the point of contacts E and B respectively.


∴ DE = DB


[∵ Tangents drawn from an exterior point to the circle are equal in length]


Perimeter of Δ PCD = PC + CD + PD


= PC + CE + DE + PD


= PC + CA + BD + PD


= PA + PB [∵ PA = PC + CA and PB = PD + BD]


= 14 + 14 [∵ PA=PB]


= 28 cm



Question 37.

3. Locate 4 points [the greater of 4 and 3 in (3/4)] B1, B2, B3, B4 on BX so that


BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3 = B3B4



fig.27


4. Join B3 [the 3rd point, 3 being smaller of 3 and 4 in (3/4)] to C and draw a line through B4 parallel to B3C, intersecting the extended line segment BC at C′.



fig.28


5. Draw a line through C′ parallel to CA intersecting the extended line segment BA at A′.



fig.29


Then A′BC′ is the required triangle.



Question 38.

A bag contain 5 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing a blue ball from the bag is thrice that of a red ball, find the number of blue balls in the bag.


Answer:

Let the no. of blue balls in the bag be x.


Let B and R be the event of drawing a blue and red ball respectively.


∴ total no. of balls in the bag = x + 5


According to question –


Probability of drawing blue ball


= 3 × Probability of drawing blue ball


⇒ [no. of blue balls/total no. of balls]


= 3 × [no. of red balls/total no. of balls]


⇒ (x/x + 5) =3 × (5/x + 5)


∴ x = 15


Thus, the no. of blue balls in the bag is 15.



Question 39.

In what ratio is the line segment joining the points (– 2, – 3) and (3, 7) divided by the y-axis? Also, find the coordinates of the point of division.


Answer:

Let the point on the y-axis which divides the line segment joining the points A(– 2, – 3) and B(3, 7) be C(0,y).


Let the ratio in which y-axis divides AB line segment be m:n.


Let (x,y) ≡ (0,y)


(x1,y1) ≡ (– 2, – 3)


and (x2,y2) ≡ (3,7)


Using Section Formula,




⇒ 3m = 2n


∴ m:n = 2:3


Now,




⇒ y = (5/5) = 1


Thus, the line segment joining the points (– 2, – 3) and (3, 7) divided by the y-axis in the ratio 2:3 internally and the coordinates of the point of division is (0,1).

Answer:

In the given AP,


First term, a = 7


Common difference, a2 – a1 = (11 – 7) = 4


Let the no of terms be n


Nth term, an = 139


We know that, For any AP


an = a + (n – 1)d


where,


an = nth term


d = common difference


n = no of terms


using the above formula for given AP, we have


139 = 7 + (n – 1)(4)


⇒ 4(n – 1) = 132


⇒ n – 1 = 33


⇒ n = 34


Hence, there are 34 terms in given AP.

By Pythagoras Theorem in ΔOTP [ i.e. Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2]


(OP)2 = (OT)2 + (PT)2


⇒ (OP)2 = (7)2 + (24)2


⇒ (OP)2 = 49 + 576 = 625


⇒ OP = 25 cm

Discriminant, D = 0


Where, D = b2 - 4ac


⇒ b2 - 4ac = 0


⇒ (b - c)2 - 4(a - b)(c - a) = 0


⇒ (b - c)2 + 4(a - b)(a - c) = 0


⇒ b2 + c2 - 2bc + 4(a2 - ac - ab + bc) = 0


⇒ b2 + c2 - 2bc + 4a2 - 4ac - 4ab + 4bc = 0


⇒ 4a2+ b2 + c2 - 4ac + 2bc - 4ac = 0


⇒ (-2a)2+ b2 + c2 + 2(-2a)c + 2bc + 2(-2a)c = 0


⇒ (-2a + b + c)2 = 0


[using (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2za ]


⇒ -2a + b + c = 0


⇒ b + c = 2a


Hence Proved.



Question 10.

Find the 10th term form the end of the AP 4, 14, … , 254.


Answer:

First term, a = 4

Common difference, a2 – a1 = 14 – (4) = 10

Let the no of terms be n

We know, that nth term of an AP is

an =a + (n – 1)d

where a is first term and d is common difference.

254 = 4 + (n – 1)10

⇒ 250 = (n – 1)10

⇒ n – 1 = 25

⇒ n = 26

10th term from last will be 17th term from starting

And a10 = a + 16d

= 4 + 16(10)

= 164


Question 11.

Or, which term of the AP 3, 15, 27, 34, … will be 132 more than its 54th term?

Which term of the AP 3, 15, 27, 39, … will be 132 more than its 54th term.


Answer:

Given AP = 3, 15, 27, 39, …


First term, a = 3


Common difference, a2 - a1 = 15 - 3 = 12


And we know


Nth term of an AP, an = a + (n - 1)d


Where a is first term and d is common difference.


Now, let the mth term be 132 more than 54th term


In that case,


am = a54 + 132


⇒ a + (m - 1)d = a + 53d + 132


⇒ (m - 1)12 = 53(12) + 132


⇒ 12m - 12 = 636 + 132


⇒ 12m = 768 + 12


⇒ 12m = 780


⇒ m = 65


hence, 65th term will be 132 more than its 54th term.



Question 12.

Prove that the tangents drawn at the ends of a diameter of a circle are parallel


Answer:


Let AB be the diameter of a circle with center O.


CD and EF are two tangents at ends A and B respectively.


To Prove : CD || EF


Proof :


OA ⏊ CD and OB ⏊ EF [Tangents drawn at a point on circle is perpendicular to the radius through point of contact]


∠OAD = ∠OBE = 90°


∠OAD + ∠OBE = 90° + 90° = 180°


Considering AB as a transversal


⇒ CD || EF


[Two sides are parallel, if any pair of the interior angles on the same sides of transversal is supplementary]



Question 13.

From an external point P tangents PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre at the point E and PA = 14 cm, find the perimeter of ΔPCD.



Answer:

Given: From an external point P, two tangents, PA and PB are drawn to a circle with center O. At a point E on the circle tangent is drawn which intersects PA and PB at C and D, respectively. And PA = 14 cm


To Find: Perimeter of ΔPCD


As we know that, Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.


So we have


AC = CE …[1] [Tangents from point C]


ED = DB …[2] [Tangents from point D]


Now Perimeter of Triangle PCD


= PC + CD + DP


= PC + CE + ED + DP


= PC + AC + DB + DP [From 1 and 2]


= PA + PB


Now,


PA = PB = 14 cm as tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal


So we have


Perimeter = PA + PB = 14 + 14 = 28 cm



Question 14.

The area of the circular base of a cone is 616 cm2 and its height is 48 cm. Find its whole surface area. [Take π = 22/7.]


Answer:

Area of circular base = 616 cm2


We know that,


Area of circle = πr2


Where r is the radius of circle


Let the radius of circular base be r


We have,


πr2 = 616 cm2



⇒ r2 = 196


⇒ r = 14 cm


Now, Height = 48 cm [Given]


And we know,


Slant height, l =√(r2 + h2)


Where r is radius and h is the height of the cone


l=√(142 + 482)=√(196 + 2304)=√2500=50 cm


Now,


Total surface area of a cone = πr(l + r)


Where r is radius and l is slant height.


So, Putting values we have


Total surface of cone = π(14)(50 + 14)




Question 15.

In the adjoining figure, the area enclosed between two concentric circles is 770 cm2 and the radius of the outer circle is 21 cm. Find the radius of the inner circle.


Answer:


Given,


Outer radius of circle, R = 21 cm


Area of enclosed region = 770 cm2


Let the radius of inner circle be r.


Area of enclosed region = Area of outer circle – Area of inner circle


⇒ 770 = πR2 – πr2




⇒ 35(7) = (21)2 – r2


⇒ r2 = 441 – 245


⇒ r2 = 196


⇒ r = 14 cm



Question 16.

Solve for x: 12abx2 – (9a2 – 8b2) x – 6ab = 0.


Answer:

12abx2 – (9a2 – 8b2)x – 6ab = 0


12abx2 – 9a2x + 8b2x– 6ab = 0


3ax(4bx – 3a) + 2b(4bx – 3a) = 0


(3ax + 2b)(4bx – 3a) = 0


So, we have


3ax + 2b = 0 or 4bx – 3a = 0




Question 17.

If the 8th term of an AP is 31 and its 15th term is 16 more than the 11th term. Find the AP.


Answer:

Let the a be first term and d be common difference

As we know

an = a + (n – 1)d

Given,

⇒ a8 = 31

⇒ a + 7d = 31

⇒ a = 31 – 7d …[1]

Also, As 15th term is 16 more than 11th term

⇒ a15 = a11 + 16

⇒ a + 14d = a + 10d + 16

⇒ 4d = 16

⇒ d = 4

Using this value in equation [1]

a = 31 – 7(4) = 3

So, AP is

a, a + d, a + 2d, …

3, 3 + 4, 3 + 2(4), …

3, 7, 11, …


Question 18.

Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.


Answer:


Consider a circle circumscribed by a parallelogram ABCD, Let side AB, BC, CD and AD touch circles at P, Q, R and S respectively.


To Proof : ABCD is a rhombus.


As ABCD is a parallelogram


AB = CD and BC = AD [opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal] …[1]


Now, As tangents drawn from an external point are equal.


We have


AP = AS [tangents from point A]


BP = BQ [tangents from point B]


CR = CQ [tangents from point C]


DR = DS [tangents from point D]


Add the above equations


AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS


⇒ AB + CD = AS + DS + BQ + CQ


⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC


⇒ AB + AB = BC + BC [From 1]


⇒ AB = BC …[2]


From [1] and [2]


AB = BC = CD = AD


And we know,


A parallelogram with all sides equal is a rhombus


So, ABCD is a rhombus.


Hence Proved !



Question 19.

A ΔABC is drawn to circumscribe a circle of radius 4 cm such that the segments BD and DC into which BC is divided by the point of contact D are of length 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find AB and AC.



Answer:


Given: ΔABC that is drawn to circumscribe a circle with radius r = 4 cm and BD = 6 cm DC = 8 cm


To Find: AB and AC


Now,


As we know tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.


Then,


FB = BD = 6 cm [Tangents from same external point B]


DC = EC = 8 cm [Tangents from same external point C]


AF = EA = x (let) [Tangents from same external point A]


Using the above data we get


AB = AF + FB = x + 6 cm


AC = AE + EC = x + 8 cm


BC = BD + DC = 6 + 8 = 14 cm


Now we have heron's formula for area of triangles if its three sides a, b and c are given


ar = √(s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c))


Where,



So for ΔABC


a = AB = x + 6


b = AC = x + 8


c = BC = 14 cm



And


ar(ΔABC) = √((x + 14)(x + 14 – (x + 6))(x + 14 – (x + 8))(x + 14 – 14))


= √((x + 14)(8)(6)(x)) [1]


ar(ABC) = ar(AOB) + ar(BOC) + ar(AOC)


at, tangent at a point on the circle is perpendicular to the radius through point of contact,


So, we have


OF ⏊ AB, OE ⏊ AC and OD ⏊ BC


Therefore, AOB, BOC and AOC are right – angled triangles.


And area of right angled triangle =1/2 × Base × Height


Using the formula,



Using [1] we have,



Squaring both side


⇒ 48x(x + 14) = (2x + 6 + 28 + 2x + 16)2


⇒ 48x2 + 672x = (56 + 4x)2


⇒ 48x2 + 672x = (4(14 + x))2


⇒ 48x2 + 672x = 16(196 + x2 + 28x)


⇒ 3x2 + 42x = 196 + x2 + 28x


⇒ 2x2 + 14x – 196 = 0


⇒ x2 + 7x – 98= 0


⇒ x2 + 14x – 7x – 98 = 0


⇒ x(x + 14) – 7(x + 14) = 0


⇒ (x – 7)(x + 14) = 0


⇒ x = 7 or x = – 14 cm


Negative value of x is not possible, as length can't be negative


Therefore,


x = 7 cm


⇒ AB = x + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13 cm


⇒ AC = x + 8 = 7 + 8 = 15 cm



Question 20.

Draw a circle of diameter 12 cm. From a point 10 cm away its centre, construct a pair of tangents to the circle. Measure the length of each tangent segment.


Answer:


Steps of Construction:


1. Take a point O and draw a circle of radius 6 cm [ i.e. diameter 12 cm]


2. Mark a point P at a distance of 10 cm from O in any direction. Join OP


3. Draw right bisector of OP, intersecting OP at O'


4. Taking O' as center and O'O=O'P as radius, draw a circle to intersect the previous circle at T and T'.


5. Join PT and PT', which are required tangents.


6. Measured PT and PT' by a ruler and we get PT = PT' = 8 cm



Question 21.

Show that the point A (a, a), B (– a, – a) and C(– a√ 3, a√ 3) are the vertices of an equilateral triangle.


Answer:

For the points A, B and C to be vertices of an equilateral triangle,


AB = BC = CA and we have distance formula,


For two point P(x1, y1) and Q(x2, y2)


PQ= √((x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2)


Using the above formula, and coordinates we have


AB=√((– a – a)2 + (– a – a)2)


⇒ AB= √(4a2 + 4a2 )=√8 a








As AB = BC = AC


ABC is an equilateral triangle.



Question 22.

Find the area of a rhombus if its vertices are A (3, 0), B (4, 5), C (– 1, 4) and D (– 2, – 1).


Answer:

As the diagonal of rhombus divides it into two parts, it is sufficient to calculate the area of one part and double it.


Consider, the Diagonal AC,


Then,


ar(ABCD) = 2× ar(ΔABC)


Now,


A = (3,0); B = (4, 5); C = (– 1, 4)


As we know area of triangle formed by three points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3)




=6 square units


⇒ ar(ABCD) = 2× ar(ΔABC) = 2(6) = 12 square units



Question 23.

Cards marked with numbers 13, 14, 15, …, 60 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. One card is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that the number on the card drawn is

(a) Divisible by 5 (b) a number which is a perfect square


Answer:

Total no of numbers = 60 – 13 + 1 = 48


[As total no's from a to b are (b – a + 1)]


(a) No Divisible by 5 in the given sequence = {15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60}


So, we have


No of favourable outcomes = 10


No of total outcomes = 48


And,


Probability of an event


Therefore,


P(Getting a card having no divisible by 5)


(b) Perfect squares in the given sequence = {16, 25, 36, 49}


So, we have


No of favourable outcomes = 4


No of total outcomes = 48


And,


Probability of an event


Therefore,


P(Getting a card having a perfect square)



Question 24.

A window in a building is at a height of 10 m from the ground. The angle of depression of a point P on the ground from the window is 30˚. The angle of elevation of the top of the building from the point P is 60˚. Find the height of the building.


Answer:


Let us consider this situation by a diagram as shown, in which AB is a building and C depicts the window and A be the top.


Now Given,


Height of window from the ground, BC = 10 m


Angle of depression of point P from window, ∠XCP = 30°


⇒ ∠XCP = ∠CPB = θ1 = 30° [Alternate Angles]


Angle of elevation of top of the building from point P, ∠APB = 60°


⇒ ∠ APB = θ2 = 60°


Now, In Δ BCP





Cross – Multiplying we get,


BP=10√3 meters


Now, In ΔABP





⇒ AB = 10√3 × √3 = 30 meters


So, Height of building is 30 meters.



Question 25.

In a violent storm, a tree got bent by the wind. The top of the tree meet the ground at an angle of 30˚, at a distance of 30 metres from the root. At what height from the bottom did the tree get bent? What was the original height of the tree?


Answer:


Let AB be a tree, and P be the point of break,


And As tree falls, we can consider the situation as a right angled triangle at B


Given,


Angle of broken tree with ground, θ = 30°


Distance of top of broken tree from root, AB = 30 m


In ΔAPB





So, tree bents at a height ofmeters from the ground.


Also, In Δ APB





On cross – multiplying


AP = 10√3 × 2 = 20√3 meters


Original height of tree = AP + BP


= 20√3 + 10√3


= 30√3 meters



Question 26.

A wire bent in the form of a circle of radius 42 cm is cut and again bent in the form of a square. Find the ratio of the areas of the regions enclosed by the circle and the square.


Answer:

Given,


Radius of circle made by wire, r = 42 cm


Circumference of circle of radius r = 2πr


Circumference of circle made by wire


As, the same wire is bent to make a square the perimeter of square will be equal to circumference of circle.


Let the side of square be a.


Perimeter of square of side 'a' = 4a


We have,


4a = 264


a = 66 cm


Now,


Ratio of areas


Area of circle of radius r = πr2


Area of square of radius a = a2


Putting value, we get


Ratio of areas


Required ratio is 14 : 11



Question 27.

A metallic sphere of radius 10.5 cm is melted and then recast into smaller cones, each of radius 3.5 cm and height 3 cm. How many cones are obtained?


Answer:

We know volume of sphere of radius R is


And


Volume of cone of radius r and height h is


So, Given,


Radius of sphere, R = 10.5 cm


Radius of cone, r = 3.5 cm


Height of cone, h = 3 cm


No of cones can be made by melting sphere


Using formulas, and putting values


No of cones


Hence, 126 cones can be made.



Question 28.

In the given figure ΔABC is right angled at A. Semicircles are drawn on AB, AC and BC as diameter. It is given that AB = 3 cm and AC = 4 cm. Find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Let semicircle I, II and III are semicircles with diameters AB, AC and BC respectively


Area of shaded region =


Area of semicircle I + Area of semicircle II + Area of triangle ABC – Area of semicircle III


As, ∠BAC is in semicircle,


∠BAC = 90° [Angle in a semicircle is right angle]


And ABC is a right – angled triangle at A


By Pythagoras Theorem


(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2


(BC)2 = (AB)2 + (AC)2


⇒ (BC)2 = 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25


⇒ BC = 5 cm


Now, For semicircle I


Diameter = AB = 3 cm


Radius


Area of semicircle of radius r


Area of semicircle I


For semicircle II


Diameter = AC = 4 cm


Radius


Area of semicircle of radius r


Area of semicircle II


For semicircle III


Diameter = BC = 5 cm


Radius,

Question 29.

₹ 250 is divided equally among a certain number of children. If there were 25 more children, each would have received 50paise less. Find the number of children.


Answer:

Let the no of children is x and amount given to each child is y


As the total amount is 250 ₹


We have,


xy = 250


…[1]


Also, given if no of children is increased by 25, the amount to each get less by 50 paise i.e. 0.5 ₹


So, we have


(x + 25)(y – 0.5) = 250


[By 1]



⇒ 500x – x2 + 12500 – 25x = 500x


⇒ x2 + 25x – 12500 = 0


⇒ x2 + 125x – 100x – 12500 = 0


⇒ x(x + 125) – 100(x + 125) = 0


⇒ (x – 100)(x + 125) = 0


so,


⇒ x – 100 = 0 or x + 125 = 0


⇒ x = 100 or – 125


However, no. of students can't be negative


Hence, x = 100


So, there were 100 students.



Question 30.

The hypotenuse of a right – angled triangle is 6 cm more than twice the shortest side. If the third side 2 cm less than the hypotenuse, find the sides of the triangle.


Answer:

Let the shortest side be x cm [Let it be base]


Length of hypotenuse = 2x + 6 [in cm]


Length of other side = Length of hypotenuse – 2 = 2x + 6 – 2 = 2x + 4 [in cm] [Let it be perpendicular]


As we know, By Pythagoras Theorem


(hypotenuse)2 = (base)2 + (perpendicular)2


⇒ (2x + 6)2 = x2 + (2x + 4)2


⇒ 4x2 + 36 + 24x = x2 + 4x2 + 16 + 16x


[(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab]


⇒ x2 – 8x – 20 = 0


⇒ x2 – 10x + 2x – 20 = 0


⇒ x(x – 10) + 2(x – 10) = 0


⇒ (x + 2)(x – 10) = 0


⇒ x = – 2 or x = 10 cm


However, Length can't be negative hence x = – 2 is not possible


Therefore,


x = 10 cm


we have,


Shortest Side = x = 10 cm


Hypotenuse = 2x + 6 = 2(10) + 6 = 26 cm


Third side = 2x + 4 = 2(10) + 4 = 24 cm



Question 31.

Sum of first 3n terms



Now, Taking RHS







RHS = LHS


Hence Proved



Question 32.

The angle of elevation of a jet plane from point A on the ground is 60˚. After A flight of 15 seconds, the angle of elevation changes to 30˚. If the jet plane is flying at a constant height of 1500 √ 3 m, find the speed of the jet plane.


Answer:


Let the jet plane goes from point P to point C and we have given,


Initially angle of elevation from point A, ∠PAQ = θ1 = 60°


After 15 seconds,


Angle of elevation from point A, ∠CAB = θ2 = 30°


As the plane is flying at a constant height,


BC = PQ = 1500√3 m


Now,


In ΔABC





In ΔAPQ





So, we have


QB = AB – AQ = 4500 – 1500 = 3000 m


And


QB = PC


So, jet plane travels 3000 m in 15 seconds


And we know,





Question 33.

Prove that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.


Answer:


Given: A circle with center O and P be any point on a circle and XY is a tangent on circle passing through point P.


To prove : OP⏊XY


Proof :


Take a point Q on XY other than P and join OQ .


The point Q must lie outside the circle. (because if Q lies inside the circle, XY will become a secant and not a tangent to the circle).


Therefore, OQ is longer than the radius OP of the circle. That is, OQ > OP.


Since this happens for every point on the line XY except the point P, OP is the shortest of all the distances of the point O to the points of XY.


So OP is perpendicular to XY.


[As Out of all the line segments, drawn from a point to points of a line not passing through the point, the smallest is the perpendicular to the line.]



Question 34.

A quadrilateral ABCD is drawn to circumscribe a circle, as shown in the given figure. Prove that: AB + CD = AD + BC



Answer:

Given: A quadrilateral ABCD, And a circle is circumscribed by ABCD


Also, Sides AB, BC, CD and DA touch circle at P, Q, R and S respectively.


To Prove: AB + CD = AD + BC


Proof:


In the Figure,


As tangents drawn from an external point are equal.


We have


AP = AS [tangents from point A]


BP = BQ [tangents from point B]


CR = CQ [tangents from point C]


DR = DS [tangents from point D]


Add the above equations


⇒ AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS


⇒ AB + CD = AS + DS + BQ + CQ


⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC


Hence Proved.



Question 35.

A solid is made up of a cube and a hemisphere attached on its top as shown in the figure. Each edge of the cube measures 5 cm and the hemisphere has a diameter of 4.2 cm. Find the total area to be painted.



Answer:

Total area to be painted = TSA of cube + CSA of hemisphere – Base area of hemisphere


[TSA = Total surface area & CSA = Curved surface area]


Given,


Diameter of hemisphere = 4.2 cm


Radius of hemisphere, r = 2.1 cm


Side of cube, a = 5 cm


And


TSA of cube = 6a2, where a is the side of cube


CSA of hemisphere = 3πr2, where r is the base radius


Base area = πr2 [As base is circular]


Therefore,


Total area to be painted = 6a2 + 3πr2 – πr2 = 6a2+ 2πr2



= 6(25) + (2 × 22 × 0.3 × 2.1)


= 177.72 cm2



Question 36.

The diameter of the lower and upper ends of a bucket in the form of a frustum of a cone are 10 cm and 30 cm respectively. If its height is 24 cm. find:

(i) The capacity of the bucket

(ii) The area of the metal sheet used to make the bucket. [Take π = 3.14.]


Answer:

Given,

The diameter of lower end = 10 cm

As Radius = Diameter/2

Radius of lower end, r2 = 5 cm


The diameter of upper end = 30 cm
Radius of upper end, r1 = 15 cm


Height of bucket, h = 24 cm


(i) As we know


volume of frustum of a cone =


Where, h = height, r1 and r2 are radii of two ends (r1 > r2)


Capacity of bucket

=3.14 × 8 × (25 + 225 + 75)


= 3.14 × 8 × 325 = 8164 cm3


(ii) Area of metal used to make bucket = CSA of frustum + base area


We know that,


Curved surface area of frustum = πl(r1 + r2)


Where, r1 and r2 are the radii of two ends (r1 > r2)


And l = slant height and


l = √(h2+ (r1 – r2 )2)


So, we have


Slant height, l=√(242 + (15 – 5)2)


⇒ l =√(576 + 100)


⇒ l =√676


⇒ l = 26 cm


And as the base has lower end,


Base area = πr22, where r2 is the radius of lower end


Therefore,


Area of metal sheet used = πl(r1 + r2) + πr22


= π(26)[15 + 5] + π(5)2


= 520π + 25π

= 545π

= 545(3.14)
=1711.3 cm2

Question 37.

Find the value of k for which the point A (– 1, 3), B (2, k) and C (5, – 1) are collinear.


Answer:

Three points A, B and C are collinear if and only if


Area(ΔABC) = 0


As we know area of triangle formed by three points (x1, y1), (x2,y2) and (x3, y3)





⇒ 0= – 6k + 6


⇒ 6k = 6


⇒ k = 1


So, For k = 1, A, B and C are collinear.

{(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6), (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6), (3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6), (4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6), (5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6), (6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)}


The outcomes in which sum of no's is 9 are ={(3,6) (4,5) (5,4) (6,3)}


No of Total possible outcomes = 36


No of favourable outcomes = 4


And, Probability of an event


Therefore,


P(Getting sum 9)



Question 39.

A circus tent is cylindrical to a height of 3 cm and conical above it. If its base radius is 52.5 m and the slant height of the conical portion is 53 m, find the area of canvas needed to make the tent. [Take π = 22/7.]


Answer:

Total area of canvas required = CSA of cylindrical part + CSA of conical part [CSA = Curved surface area]


Now,


Radius of cone = Radius of cylinder = r = 52.5 m


Height of cylindrical part, h = 3 cm = 0.03 m [As 1 m = 100 cm]


Lateral height of conical part, l = 53 m


Now, we know


CSA of cylinder = 2πrh


Where, r is base radius and h is height of cylinder and


CSA of cone = πrl


Where, r is base radius and l is slant height.


Area of canvas required = 2πrh + πrl


= πr(2h + l)



= 8754.9 m2
