1) If the difference between the roots of the equation x2 - 13x + k = 0 is 17. find k
Answer : x2 - 13x + k = 0 here, a = 1, b = -13, c = k
Let α, β be the roots of the equation. Then

Therefore, 15 + β = 13 (from (1)) gives β = -2
c k
But, αβ = a = 1
gives 15 x (-2) = k we get, k = -30

Answer : Given that, height of the cylinder h = 20 cm ; radius r =14 cm
Now, C.S.A. of the cylinder = 2pπ h sq. units
22
C.S.A. of the cylinder=2 × 7
× 14 × 20 = 2 × 22 × 2 × 20
T.S.A. of the cylinder = 2πr(h + r) sq.units

32) There is a square field whose side is 10 m. A square flower bed is prepared in its centre leaving a gravel path all round the
flower bed. The total cost of laying the flower bed and gravelling the path at Rs3 and Rs.4 per square metre respectively is
Rs.364. Find the width of the gravel path.
Answer :

47) A circle is inscribed in △ ABC having sides 8 cm, 10 cm and 12 cm as shown in figure,Find AD, BE and CF.

PE
PA
Answer : We know that the tangents drawn from are external point to a circle are equal.
Therefore AD AF = x say ST
BD = BE = ysay
and CE = CF = z say
Now,AB = 12 cm, BC = 8 cm, and CA= 10 cm.
TE

x+y= 12,y+z = 8andz+x= 10

(x+y)+(y+z)+(z+x)= 12+8+ 10
2(x +y +z) = 30
S

x+y+z = 15
Now,x + y =12 and x + y+z= 15
TH

x + y12andx + y + z = 15
y+z = 8 and x + y + z = 15
x + 8 = 15 ⇒ x = 7
A

and z+u=10 nd x+y+z=15

10 + y = 15 ⇒ y = 5

Hence,AD=x=7cm,BE=y=5cm and CF=z=3cm
