Question 1.

 a
vessel in the form
of a hollow
hemisphere
mounted by a
hollow cylinder.the
diameter of the
hemisphere is
14cm and the total
height of the
vessel is 13cm.find
the inner surface
area of the vesse.

Answer: 
radius of the
hemisphere=radiu
s of the
cylinder=7cm 
height of the
cylinder=13-
7=6cm. 
inner surface area
of the vessel=CSA
of the

Answer: 
Sn = n/2(2a+(n-1)d) a=3 ,d=2 , Sn=122 

120 = n/2( 2*3 +(n-1)*2) 

120 =n/2(6 +2n- 2) (simplify) 
120 = n(2+n) 
120 =2n+square of n 
squ n +2n -120 +0 (solve this quad equation) 
(n+12)(n-10)=0

Therefore 

L2 – S2 = 180 
L2 – 8L = 180 ( S2 =8L)

Answer: 
Let: 
A(7,10), B(-2,5) and C(3,-4) 
therefore, to prove that the points are of an isosceles right triangle 
1) for isosceles triangle- two sides must be equal 
2)for right triangle- ACsq = ABsq + ACsq 

BY DISTANCE FORMULA' 

AB= root of 106 

BC= root of 106 
AC= root of 212 

As dist. AB=dist. BC 

Then the triangle is isosceles triangle 
Now, for proving that the triangle is right angled triangled 
then ACsq= ABsq +BCsq 
= 106+106 
= root of 212 
Hence the points given form an isosceles right angled triangle

So, 
3 x P(e) of red = P(e) of blue

Question 71. Find the sum of first 25 terms of an A.P. whose nth term is 1 - 4n.

Answer: 
an = 1-4n 
a1 =1-4(1) =1-4= -3 
a2 =1-4(2) =1-8= -7 

d=a2-a1 = -7-(-3) =-7+3= -4 

a= -3 
n=25 
S25 =25/2(2*(-3)+24(-4)) 
S25 = -25*51 
=-1275
