SECTION – A

Question number 1 to 6 carry 1 mark each.

Question 1: Write the discriminant of the quadratic equation $(x + 5)^2 = 2 (5x - 3)$ .

Answer:

Given Equation: $(x + 5)^2 = 2 (5x - 3)$

$\Rightarrow x^2 + 25 + 10x = 10x - 6$

$\Rightarrow x^2 + 31 = 0$

Comparing it with $ax^2 + bx + c= 0$ . $a = 1, b = 0$ and $c = 31$

Determinant $= b^2 - 4ac = -4(1)(31) = -124$

$\\$

Question 2: Find after how many places of decimal the decimal form of the number $\frac{27}{2^3 . 5^4 . 3^2}$ will terminate.

Express $429$ as a product of its prime factors.

Answer:

Simplifying $\frac{27}{2^3 . 5^4 . 3^2}$ $=$ $\frac{3^3}{2^3 5^4 3^2}$ $=$ $\frac{3}{2^3 5^4}$ $=$ $\frac{3}{5000}$ $= 0.0006$

So the decimal form will terminate are $4$ digits.

$429 = 3 \times 11 \times 13$

$\\$

Question 3: Find the sum of first $10$ multiples of $6$ .

Answer:

$AP$ is $6, 12, 18, \cdots$

$a = 6, d = 12-6 = 6, n = 10$

$S_{10} =$ $\frac{n}{2}$ $(2a + (n-1)d)$

$=$ $\frac{10}{2}$ $(2 \times 6 + (10-1) \times 6)$

$= 5 (12 + 54) = 330$

$\\$

Question 4: Find the value(s) of $x$ , if the distance between the points $A(0, 0)$ and $B(x, - 4)$ is $5$ units.

Answer:

Given: $A(0,0)$ and $B(x, -4)$

$AB = 5$ units

$\therefore 5 = \sqrt{(x-0)^2 + (-4-0)^2}$

$\Rightarrow 25 = x^2 + 16$

$\Rightarrow x^2 = 9$

$\Rightarrow x = \pm 3$

Therefore $B$ could be $(3, -4)$ or $(-3, -4)$

$\\$

Question 5: Two concentric circles of radii $a$ and $b (a > b)$ are given. Find the length of the chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller circle.

Answer:

Length of the chord $= 2 \Big( \sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \Big)$

$\\$

Question 6: In Figure 1, $PS = 3$ cm, $QS = 4$ cm, $\angle PRQ = \theta, \angle PSQ = 90^o, PQ \perp RQ$ and $RQ = 9$ cm. Evaluate $\tan \theta$ .

If $\tan \alpha =$ $\frac{5}{12}$ , find the value of $\sec \alpha$ .

Answer: 2019-07-02_22-53-06

$PQ = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = 5$ cm

$\tan \theta =$ $\frac{5}{9}$

$\tan \alpha =$ $\frac{5}{12}$

$AB = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13$

$\therefore \cos \alpha =$ $\frac{12}{13}$ $\Rightarrow \sec \alpha =$ $\frac{13}{12}$

$\\$

Section – B

Question number 7 to 12 carry 2 mark each.

Question 7: Points $A(3, 1), B(5, 1), C(a, b)$ and $D(4, 3)$ are vertices of a parallelogram $ABCD$ . Find the values of $a$ and $b$ .

Points $P$ and $Q$ trisect the line segment joining the points $A(- 2, 0)$ and $B(0, 8)$ such that $P$ is near to $A$ . Find the coordinates of points $P$ and $Q$ .

Answer:

Let midpoint of $BD$ be $O$

$\therefore O (x, y) = \Big($ $\frac{5+4}{2}$ $,$ $\frac{1+3}{2}$ $\Big) = (4.5, 2)$

$O$ is also the midpoint of $AC$

$O(x, y) = \Big($ $\frac{3+a}{2}$ $,$ $\frac{1+b}{2}$ $\Big)$

Therefore $\frac{3+a}{2}$ $= 4.5 \Rightarrow a = 9-3 = 6$

$\frac{1+b}{2}$ $= 2 \Rightarrow b = 4-1 = 3$

$\frac{AP}{PB}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Using section formula [ $P$ divides $AB$ in the ratio of $1:2$ ]

$\Rightarrow P(x_1, y_1) = \Big($ $\frac{1 \times 0 + 2 \times (-2)}{1+2}$ $,$ $\frac{1 \times 8 + 2 \times 0}{1+2}$ $\Big) = \Big($ $\frac{-4}{3}$ $,$ $\frac{8}{3}$ $\Big)$

Similarly,

Using section formula [ $Q$ divides $AB$ in the ratio of $2:1$ ]

$\Rightarrow P(x_2, y_2) = \Big($ $\frac{2 \times 0 + 1 \times (-2)}{2+1}$ $,$ $\frac{2 \times 8 + 1 \times 0}{2+1}$ $\Big) = \Big($ $\frac{-2}{3}$ $,$ $\frac{16}{3}$ $\Big)$

$\\$

Question 8: Solve the following pair of linear equations :
$3x - 5y = 4$
$2y + 7 = 9x$

Answer:

Given equations:

$3x - 5y = 4$ … … … … … i)
$2y + 7 = 9x$

$\Rightarrow 9x - 2y = 7$ … … … … … ii)

Multiplying i) by $3$ and subtracting ii) from the resultant equation

$\hspace*{1cm} 9x - 15y = 12 \\ \underline {(-) \hspace*{0.4cm} 9x - 2y = \hspace*{0.2cm} 7} \\ \hspace*{1.3cm} -13y = \hspace*{0.2cm} 5$

$\Rightarrow y =$ $\frac{-5}{13}$

Substituting into i)

$3x - 5 \Big($ $\frac{-5}{13}$ $\Big) = 4$

$\Rightarrow x =$ $\frac{9}{13}$

Hence $x =$ $\frac{9}{13}$ and $y =$ $\frac{-5}{13}$

$\\$

Question 9: If HCF of $65$ and $117$ is expressible in the form $65n - 117$ , then find the value of $n$ .

On a morning walk, three persons step out together and their steps measure $30$ cm, $36$ cm and $40$ cm respectively. What is the minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same distance in complete steps ?

Answer:

$117 = 3 \times 3 \times 13$

$65 = 5 \times 13$

Therefore HCF of $117$ and $65$ is $13$

$\therefore 65n - 117 = 13$

$\Rightarrow 65n = 130$

$\Rightarrow n = 2$

Finding LCM of $30, 36$ and $40$

$2 | \underline{30, 36, 40} \\ 5 | \underline{15, 18, 20} \\ 3 | \underline{3, 18, 4} \\ 2 | \underline{1, 6, 4} \\ \hspace*{0.2cm}| 1, 3, 2$

Therefore LCM $= 2 \times 5 \times 3 \times 2 \times 3 \times 2 = 360$

Therefore the minimum distance each should walk should be $360$ cm.

$\\$

Question 10: A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting (i) a composite number, (ii) a prime number.

Answer:

Total possible outcomes are $1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6$

Therefore total number of events $= 6$

i) Composite numbers are $4$ and $6$

Therefore Probability (Composite Numbers) $=$ $\frac{2}{6}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{3}$

ii) Prime numbers are $2, 3, 5$

Therefore Probability (Prime Numbers) $=$ $\frac{3}{6}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$

$\\$

Question 11: Using completing the square method, show that the equation $x^2 - 8x + 18 = 0$ has no solution.

Answer:

Given equation $x^2 - 8x + 18 = 0$

$\Rightarrow x^2 - 8x = -18$

$\Rightarrow x^2 - 8x+16 = -18 + 16$

$\Rightarrow (x-4)^2 = -2$

A square of a number is always positive. Hence the given equation has no solution.

$\\$

Question 12: Cards numbered $7$ to $40$ were put in a box. Poonam selects a card at random. What is the probability that Poonam selects a card which is a multiple of $7$ ?

Answer:

Total number of cards $= (40-7)+1 = 33 + 1 = 34$

Favorable outcomes $= 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 \Rightarrow 5$

Therefore Probability $= \frac{5}{34}$

$\\$

Section – C

Question number 13 to 22 carry 3 mark each.

Question 13: The perpendicular from $A$ on side $BC$ of a $\triangle ABC$ meets $BC$ at $D$ such that $DB = 3CD$ . Prove that $2AB^2 = 2AC^2 + BC^2$ .

$AD$ and $PM$ are medians of triangles $ABC$ and $PQR$ respectively where $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$ . Prove that $\frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{AD}{PM}$

Answer:

Given: $\triangle ABC$ with $AD \perp BC$ Also $DB = 2 CD$

To Prove: $2AB^2 = 2AC^2 + BC^2$ .

Proof: Let $BC = x$

$\Rightarrow CD + DB = x \Rightarrow CD + 3 CD = x \Rightarrow 4 CD = x \Rightarrow CD =$ $\frac{x}{4}$

Also $DB = 3CD \Rightarrow DB =$ $\frac{3x}{4}$

Using Pythagoras theorem, in right angled triangle $\triangle ADC$

$AC^2 = AD^2 + DC^2$

$\Rightarrow AC^2 = AD^2 + \Big($ $\frac{x}{4}$ $\Big)^2$

$\Rightarrow AC^2 = AD^2 + \Big($ $\frac{x^2}{16}$ $\Big)$ … … … … … i)

Using Pythagoras theorem, in right angled triangle $\triangle ADB$

$AB^2 = AD^2 + DB^2$

$\Rightarrow AB^2 = AD^2 + \Big($ $\frac{3x}{4}$ $\Big)^2$

$\Rightarrow AB^2 = AD^2 + \Big($ $\frac{9x^2}{16}$ $\Big)$ … … … … … ii)

Subtracting ii) from i)

$AC^2 - AB^2 = AD^2 + \Big($ $\frac{x^2}{16}$ $\Big) - AD^2 - \Big($ $\frac{9x^2}{16}$ $\Big)$

$\Rightarrow AC^2 - AB^2 = \Big($ $\frac{x^2}{16}$ $\Big) - \Big($ $\frac{9x^2}{16}$ $\Big)$

$\Rightarrow AC^2 - AB^2 = -$ $\frac{8}{16}$ $x^2$

$\Rightarrow AC^2 - AB^2 = -$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $x^2$

$\Rightarrow 2AC^2 - 2AB^2 = -x^2$ (Putting $x = BC$ back in the equation)

$\Rightarrow 2AC^2 - 2AB^2 = -BC^2$

$\Rightarrow 2AB^2 = 2AC^2 + BC^2$ .

Hence Proved

Given: $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle PQR$

$AD$ is the median of $\triangle ABC$ and $PM$ is the median of $\triangle PQR$

Also $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$

To Prove: $\frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{AD}{PM}$

Proof: Since $AD$ is a median $\Rightarrow BD = DC =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $BC$

Similarly, $PM$ is the median $\Rightarrow QM = MR =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $QR$

Now, $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{BC}{QR}$ $=$ $\frac{AC}{PR}$ (corresponding sides of similar triangles)

So, $\frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{BC}{QR}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{2BD}{2QM}$ (Since AD and PM are medians)

$\Rightarrow \frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{BD}{QM}$ … … … … … i)

Also since $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$

$\angle B = \angle Q$ (corresponding angles of similar triangles)

Now in $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle PQM$

$\angle B = \angle Q$

$\frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{BD}{QM}$ from i)

Hence $\triangle ABD \sim \triangle PQM$ (By SAS criterion)

Since corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional

$\frac{AB}{PQ}$ $=$ $\frac{AD}{PM}$ . Hence proved.

Question 14: Check whether $g(x)$ is a factor of $p(x)$ by dividing polynomial $p(x)$ by polynomial $g(x)$ , where $p(x) = x^5 - 4x^3 + x^2 + 3x + 1$ , $g(x) = x^3 - 3x + 1$

Answer:

If $p(x)$ divisible by $g(x) \Rightarrow$ the remainder of $\frac{p(x)}{g(x)}$ $= 0$

$x^3-3x+1 ) \overline{x^5 - 4x^3 + x^2 + 3x + 1} ( x^2-1 \\ \hspace*{1.5cm}(-) { x^5-3x^3+x^2} \\ \hspace*{2cm} \overline{-x^3+3x+1} \\ \hspace*{1.5cm}(-) \underline{ -x^3+3x-1} \\ \hspace*{4.0cm} {2}$

Therefore remainder is $2$ .

Therefore $g(x)$ is not a factor of $p(x)$ .

$\\$

Question 15: Find the area of the triangle formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of the triangle $ABC$ , whose vertices are $A(0, - 1), B(2, 1)$ and $C(0, 3)$ .

Answer:

Mid-point of $AB (x_1, y_1) = \Big($ $\frac{0+2}{2}$ $,$ $\frac{-1+1}{2}$ $\Big) = (1, 0)$

Mid-point of $BC (x_2, y_2) = \Big($ $\frac{2+0}{2}$ $,$ $\frac{1+3}{2}$ $\Big) = (1, 2)$

Mid-point of $AC (x_3, y_3) = \Big($ $\frac{0+0}{2}$ $,$ $\frac{-1+3}{2}$ $\Big) = (0, 1)$

Area of $\triangle PQR =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big[ x_1(y_2-y_3) + x_2(y_3-y_1) + x_3(y_1-y_2) \Big]$

$=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big[ 1(2-1) + 1(1-0) + 0(0-2) \Big]$

$=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ 1+1] = 1$ sq. units.

$\\$

Question 16: Draw the graph of the equations $x - y + 1 = 0$ and $3x + 2y - 12 = 0$ . Using this graph, find the values of $x$ and $y$ which satisfy both the equations.

Answer:

For $x - y + 1 = 0$ : When $x =0, y = 1$ and when $y = 0, x = -1$

For $3x + 2y - 12 = 0$ : When $x = 0, y = 6$ and when $y = 0, x = 4$

From the graph the two lines intersect at $(2, 3)$ . This is the point that satisfy both the equations.

Question 17: Prove that $\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number.

Find the largest number which on dividing $1251, 9377$ and $15628$ leaves remainders $1, 2$ and $3$ respectively.

Answer:

Assume $\sqrt{3}$ is a rational number

i.e. it can be expressed as a rational fraction of the form $\frac{a}{b}$ where $a, b$ are relatively prime numbers.

Since $\sqrt{3} =$ $\frac{a}{b}$

We have $3 =$ $\frac{a^2}{b^2}$ or $a^2 = 3 b^2$

If $b$ is even, then $a$ is also even in which case $a/b$ is not in simplest form. If $b$ is odd then $a$ is also odd. Therefore:

$a = 2n+1$

$b = 2m+1$

$(2n+1)^2 = 3 (2m+1)^2$

$4n^2 + 1 + 4n = 12m^2 + 3 + 12m$

$4n^2 + 4n = 12m^2 + 2 + 12m$

$2n^2 + 2n = 6m^2 + 1 + 6m$

$2(n^2+n) = 2(3m^2+3) + 1$

Since $(n^2+n)$ is an integer, the left hand side is even. Since $(3m^2+3m)$ is an integer, the right hand side is odd and we have found a contradiction, therefore our hypothesis is false.

Therefore $\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number

Since, $1, 2$ and $3$ are the remainders of $1251, 9377$ and $15628$ respectively. Thus, after subtracting these remainders from the numbers.

We have the numbers, $1251 - 1 = 1250, 9377 - 2 = 9375$ and $15628 - 3 = 15625$

Which is divisible by the required number.

Now, required number $=$ HCF of $1250, 9375$ and $15625$

By Euclid’s division algorithm $a = bq + r , 0 \leq r < b$ … … … … … (i)

$[ \because$ dividend $=$ divisor $\times$ quotient $+$ remainder $]$

For largest number, put $a = 15625$ and $b = 9375$

$15625 = 9375 \times 1 + 6250 \ \ \ [ \because r \neq 0 ]$

$\Rightarrow 9375 = 6250 \times 1 + 3125 \ \ \ [ \because r \neq 0 ]$

$\Rightarrow 6250 = 3125 \times 2 + 0$

Now $r = 0$

$\therefore$ HCF $(15625$ and $9375) = 3125$

Now, we take $c = 1250$ and $d = 3125$ , then again using Euclid’s division algorithm, $d = cq + r, 0 \leq r < c$

$\Rightarrow 3125 = 1250 \times 2 + 625$ $[ \because r \neq 0 ]$

$\Rightarrow 1250 = 625 \times 2 + 0$ [ Now $r = 0$ ]

$\therefore$ HCF $(1250, 9375$ and $15625) = 625$

Hence, $625$ is the largest number which divides $1251, 9377$ and $15628$ leaving remainder $1, 2$ and $3$ respectively

Question 18: $A, B$ and $C$ are interior angles of a triangle $ABC$ . Show that

(i) $\sin \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) = \cos$ $\frac{A}{2}$

(ii) If $\angle A = 90^o$ , then find the value of $\tan \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big)$

If $\tan (A + B) = 1$ and $\tan (A - B) =$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $, 0^o < A + B < 90^o$ , $A > B$ , then find the values of $A$ and $B$ .

Answer:

i) To prove: $\sin \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) = \cos \Big($ $\frac{A}{2}$ $\Big)$

In $\triangle ABC$ , sum of angles $= 180^o$

$A + B + C = 180^o$

$\Rightarrow B+ C = 180^o - A$

$\Rightarrow \frac{B+C}{2}$ $= 90^o -$ $\frac{A}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \sin \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) = \sin \Big( 90 -$ $\frac{A}{2}$ $\Big)$

$\Rightarrow \sin \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) = \cos \Big($ $\frac{A}{2}$ $\Big)$ … … … … … i)

Hence Proved.

ii) Similarly, $\cos \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) = \cos \Big( 90 -$ $\frac{A}{2}$ $\Big)$

$\Rightarrow \cos \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) = \sin \Big($ $\frac{A}{2}$ $\Big)$ … … … … … ii)

From i) and ii) and $\angle A = 90^o$

$\tan \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) =$ $\frac{\cos 45^o}{\sin 45^o}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{\tan 45^o}$ $= 1$

$\therefore \tan \Big($ $\frac{B+C}{2}$ $\Big) = 1$

Given $\tan (A+B) = 1 \Rightarrow \tan (A+B) = \tan 45^o$

$\therefore A+B = 45^o$ … … … … … i)

Similarly, $\tan (A-B) =$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\Rightarrow \tan (A-B) = \tan 30^o$

$\therefore A-B = 30^o$ … … … … … ii)

Solving i) and ii)

$2A = 75^o \Rightarrow A = 37.5^o$

From i) $B = 45^o - A = 45^o - 37.5^o = 7.5^o$

Hence $A = 37.5^o$ and $B = 7.5^o$

$\\$

Question 19: In Figure 2, $PQ$ is a chord of length $8$ cm of a circle of radius $5$ cm. The tangents at $P$ and $Q$ intersect at a point $T$ . Find the length $TP$ .

Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the center of the circle.

Answer:

$TP = TQ$ (Length of the tangents from an external point to a circle are equal)

In $\triangle TPQ TP = TQ$

$OT$ is the bisector of $\angle PTQ$

$\therefore OT \perp PQ$

Since $OT \perp PQ$

$PR = RQ$ ( perpendicular from center to a chord bisects the chord)

$\therefore PR = QR =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $PQ = 4$ cm

In Right triangle $ORP$

$OP^2 = OR^2+ PR^2$

$\Rightarrow 5^2 = OR^2 + 4^2$

$\Rightarrow OR^2 = 25 - 16 = 9$

$\Rightarrow OR = 3$ cm

Let $TP = x$

In Right triangle $PRT$

$TP^2 = PR^2 + RT^2$

$\Rightarrow x^2 = 4^2 + RT^2$ … … … … … i)

Since $TP$ is a tangent, $OP \perp TP$

$\angle OPT = 90^o$

In Right triangle $OPT$

$OT^2 = OP^2 + TP^2$

$\Rightarrow OT^2 = 5^2 + x^2$

$\Rightarrow (OR+RT)^2 = 5^2 + x^2$

$\Rightarrow (3+RT)^2 = 5^2 + x^2$

$\Rightarrow 9 + RT^2 + 6 RT = 25 + x^2$

From i) $x^2 = 16+RT^2$

$9 + RT^2 + 6 RT = 25 + 16+RT^2$

$\Rightarrow 6RT = 32$

$\Rightarrow RT =$ $\frac{32}{6}$ $=$ $\frac{16}{3}$

$\therefore x^2 = 16 + \Big($ $\frac{16}{3}$ $\Big)^2 =$ $\frac{400}{9}$

$\Rightarrow x =$ $\frac{20}{3}$

Hence $TP$ is $\frac{20}{3}$ cm

Given: A circle with center $O$ touches the side $AB, BC, CD$ and $DA$ of a quadrilateral $ABCD$ at points $P, Q, R$ and $S$ .

To Prove: $\angle AOB + \angle COD = 180^o$ and $\angle AOD + \angle BOC = 180^o$

Construction: Join $OP, OQ, OR$ and $OS$

Proof: Since the two tangents from an external point to a circle subtend equal angles at the center;

$\angle 1 = \angle 2, \angle 3 = \angle 4, \angle 5 = \angle 6$ and $\angle 7 = \angle 8$

Since the sum of all the angles subtended at the point is $360^o$

$\angle 1 + \angle 2 + \angle 3 + \angle 4 + \angle 5 + \angle 6 + \angle 7 + \angle 8 = 360^o$

$\Rightarrow 2 (\angle 2 + \angle 4 + \angle 6 + \angle 7) = 360^o$

$\Rightarrow \angle 2 + \angle 3 + \angle 6 + \angle 7 = 180^o$

$\Rightarrow (\angle 2+\angle 3) + ( \angle 6+\angle 7) = 180^o$

$\Rightarrow \angle COD + \angle AOB = 180^o$

Similarly

$\angle 1 + \angle 2 + \angle 3 + \angle 4 + \angle 5 + \angle 6 + \angle 7 + \angle 8 = 360^o$

$\Rightarrow 2 (\angle 1 + \angle 4 + \angle 5 + \angle 8) = 360^o$

$\Rightarrow \angle 1 + \angle 4 + \angle 5 + \angle 8 = 180^o$

$\Rightarrow (\angle 1+\angle 8) + ( \angle 4+\angle 5) = 180^o$

$\Rightarrow \angle AOD + \angle BOC = 180^o$

Question 20: Water in a canal, $6$ m wide and $1.5$ m deep, is flowing with a speed of $10$ km/h. How much area will it irrigate in $30$ minutes if $8$ cm of standing water is needed ?

Answer:

Speed of water $= \frac{10 \ km}{hr}$ $=$ $\frac{10 \times 1000 \ m}{60 \ min}$ $=$ $\frac{1000 \ m}{6 \ min}$

Rate of flow $= 6 \times 1.5 \ m^2 \times$ $\frac{1000 \ m}{6 \ min}$ $=$ $\frac{1500 \ m^3}{min}$

Therefore volume of water in $30$ mins $= 1500$ $\frac{m^3}{min}$ $\times 30 \ min = 45000 \ m^3$

Let Area of irrigation $= x$

$\therefore x \times$ $\frac{8}{100}$ $\ m = 45000 m^3$

$x =$ $\frac{45000 \times 100}{8}$ $\ m^2 = 562500 \ m^2$

Question 22: A car has two wipers which do not overlap. Each wiper has a blade of
length $21$ cm sweeping through an angle $120^o$ . Find the total area cleaned at each sweep of the blades. (Take $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$ )

Answer:

Total area $= 2 \Big[$ $\frac{120}{360}$ $\times \pi (21)^2 \Big]$

$= 2 \Big[$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 21 \times 21\Big]$

$= 2 \times 22 \times 21$

$= 924 \ cm^2$

Question number 23 to 30 carry 4 mark each.

Question 23: A pole has to be erected at a point on the boundary of a circular park of diameter $13$ m in such a way that the difference of its distances from two diametrically opposite fixed gates $A$ and $B$ on the boundary is $7$ m. Is it possible to do so ? If yes, at what distances from the two gates should the pole be erected ?

Answer:

Let $AC = a$ and $BC = b$

$\therefore a - b = 7$

$\Rightarrow a = b+ 7$

We know that diameter will subtend a right angle on circumference.

$\therefore AB^2 = a^2 + b^2$

$\Rightarrow 13^2 = (b+7)^2 + b^2$

$\Rightarrow 169 = 2b^2 + 14 b + 49$

$\Rightarrow 2b^2 + 14b - 120 =0$

$\Rightarrow b^2 + 7b-60 = 0$

$\Rightarrow (b+12)(b-5) = 0$

$\Rightarrow b = 5 \ or \ -12$ (this is not possible as b cannot be negative)

$\therefore b = 5$ m

$\Rightarrow 5+7 = 12$ m

Question 24: If $m$ times the $m^{th}$ term of an Arithmetic Progression is equal to $n$ times its $n^{th}$ term and $m \neq n$ , show that the $(m + n)^{th}$ term of the A.P. is zero.

The sum of the first three numbers in an Arithmetic Progression is $18$ . If the product of the first and the third term is $5$ times the common difference, find the three numbers.

Answer:

Let the first term of AP $= a$

common difference $= d$

We have to show that $(m+n)^{th}$ term is zero or $a + (m+n-1)d = 0$

$m^{th}$ term $= a + (m-1)d$

$n^{th}$ term $= a + (n-1) d$

Given that $m{a +(m-1)d} = n{a + (n -1)d}$

$\Rightarrow am+m^2d-md=an+n^2d-nd$

$\Rightarrow am-an+m^2d-n^2d-md+nd=0$

$\Rightarrow a(m-n)+(m^2-n^2)d-(m-n)d=0$

$\Rightarrow a(m-n)+{(m-n)(m+n)}d-(m-n)d=0$

$\Rightarrow a(m-n) + {(m-n)(m+n) - (m-n)} d = 0$

$\Rightarrow a(m-n)+(m-n)(m+n-1)d=0$

$\Rightarrow (m-n){a + (m+n-1)d} = 0$

$\Rightarrow a+(m+n-1)d=$ $\frac{0}{(m-n)}$

$\Rightarrow a+(m+n-1)d=0$

Hence Proved

Let first three numbers of A.P are $(a-d)$ , $a$ and $(a+d)$

Sum of the first three numbers $= (a-d) + a +(a+d) = 3a = 18$ or $a = 6$

Product of first and third term $= (a-d)(a+d) = a^2 -d^2 = 36 -d^2 = 5d$ or $d^2 +5d -36 = 0$ or $(d+9)(d-4) = 0$

Hence $d = 4$ and three numbers are $2, 6, 10$

Question 26: In Figure 3, a decorative block is shown which is made of two solids, a cube and a hemisphere. The base of the block is a cube with edge $6$ cm and the hemisphere fixed on the top has a diameter of $4.2$ cm. Find
(a) the total surface area of the block.
(b) the volume of the block formed. (Take $\pi =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ )

A bucket open at the top is in the form of a frustum of a cone with a capacity of $12308.8 \ cm^3$ . The radii of the top and bottom circular ends are $20$ cm and $12$ cm respectively. Find the height of the bucket and the area of metal sheet used in making the bucket. (Use $\pi = 3.14$ )

Answer:

a) Total surface area

$= 6 \times (6 \times 6) - \pi (2.1)^2 +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big( 4 \pi (2.1)^2 \Big)$

$= 216 -$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 2.1 \times 2.1 + 2 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 2.1 \times 2.1$

$= 216 - 13.86 + 27.72$

$= 229.86 \ cm^2$

b) Volume of the block

$= 6^3 +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big($ $\frac{4}{3}$ $\times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times (2.1)^3 \Big)$

$= 216 + 19.404$

$= 235.404 \ cm^3$

Volume $= 12308.80 \ cm^3$

$r_1 = 20$ cm $r_2 = 12$ cm $h = ?$

Volume of the bucket $=$ $\frac{\pi}{3}$ $h ( {r_1}^2 + {r_2}^2 +r_1. r_2 )$

$\Rightarrow 12308.80 = 3.14 \times$ $\frac{h}{3}$ $( 20^2 + 12^2 + 20 \times 12)$

$\Rightarrow h = 12308.80 \times$ $\frac{3}{3.14 \times 784}$ $= 15$ cm

Therefore height of bucket $= 15$ cm

$l = \sqrt{h^2 + (r_1 - r_2)^2} = \sqrt{15^2 + 8^2} = 17$ cm

Therefore surface are of the metal sheet used

$=$ curved surface area $+$ base area

$= \pi ( r_1 + r_2) l + \pi r^2$

$= 3.14 \times 32 \times 17 + 3.14 \times 12^2 = 2160.32 \ cm^2$

Hence the height of the bucket is $15$ cm and surface are of the metal sheet is $2160.32 \ cm^2$

Question 27: If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, prove that the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Prove that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Answer:

Given: In $\triangle ABC, DE$ intersects $AB$ and $AC$ at $D$ and $E$ respectively.

To Prove: $\frac{AD}{DB}$ $=$ $\frac{AE}{EC}$

Construct: $DM \perp AC$ and $EN \perp AB$

Proof:

Area of $\triangle ADE =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times AD \times EN$

Area of $\triangle BDE =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times BD \times EN$

$\therefore$ $\frac{ar(\triangle ADE)}{ar(\triangle BDE)}$ $=$ $\frac{AD}{BD}$ … … … … … i)

Now $ar(\triangle BDE) = ar(\triangle CDE)$ … … … … … ii)

(Because they have the same base $DE$ and are between the same parallel)

Similarly, $\frac{ar(\triangle ADE)}{ar(\triangle CDE)}$ $=$ $\frac{AE}{EC}$ … … … … … iii)

From i) , ii) and iii) we get $\frac{AD}{DB}$ $=$ $\frac{AE}{EC}$ . Hence proved.

Given: A right angled $\triangle ABC$ , right angled at $B$

To prove: $AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

Draw: $BD \perp AC$

Proof: In $\triangle ADB \& \angle ABC$

$\angle ADB = \angle ABC = 90^o$

$\angle BAD = \angle CAB$ (common angle)

$\therefore \triangle ADB \sim \triangle ABC$ ( by AA criterion)

Therefore $\frac{AD}{AB}$ $=$ $\frac{AB}{AC}$ (corresponding sides are proportional)

$AB^2 = AD \times AC$ … … … … … i)

Similarly, $\triangle BDC \sim \triangle ABC$

and $BC^2 = CD \times AC$ … … … … … ii)

Adding i) and ii)

$AB^2 + BC^2 = AD \times AC + CD \times AC$

$\Rightarrow AB^2 + BC^2 = AC ( AD + CD)$

$\Rightarrow AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2$ . Hence proved.

Question 28: If $1 + \sin^2 \theta = 3 \sin \theta \cos \theta$ , then prove that $\tan \theta = 1$ or $\tan \theta =$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

We have $1 + \sin^2 \theta = 3 \sin \theta \cos \theta$

Dividing both sides with $\cos^2 \theta$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{1}{\cos^2 \theta}$ $+$ $\frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}$ $=$ $\frac{3 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}$

$\Rightarrow \sec^2 \theta + \tan^2 \theta = 3 \tan \theta$

$\Rightarrow 1 + \tan^2 \theta + \tan^2 \theta = 3 \tan \theta (\because \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta)$

$\Rightarrow 2 \tan^2 \theta - 3 \tan \theta + 1 = 0$

Let $\tan \theta = y$

$\therefore 2y^2 - 3y + 1= 0$

$\Rightarrow 2y^2 - 2y - y + 1 = 0$

$\Rightarrow 2y(y -1) -1(y -1) = 0$

$\Rightarrow (2y -1)(y-1) = 0$

$\Rightarrow y = 1$ or $y =$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence $\tan \theta = 1 or \tan \theta =$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Question 30: The shadow of a tower standing on a level ground is found to be $40$ m longer when the Sun’s altitude is $30^o$ than when it was $60^o$ . Find the height of the tower. (Given $\sqrt{3} = 1.732$ )

Answer:

Let $h$ be the height of the tower.

$\frac{h}{CB}$ $= \tan 60^o = \sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow CB =$ $\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}$ … … … … … i)

Also $\frac{h}{40 + CB}$ $= \tan 30^o =$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{3} h = 40 + CB$

$\Rightarrow CB = \sqrt{3}h - 40$ … … … … … ii)

From i) and ii)

$\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{3}h - 40$

$\Rightarrow h = 3h - 40\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2h = 40 \sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow h = 20 \sqrt{3} = 20 \times 1.732 = 34.64$ m
