& 10 + 3 = 17 SOLUTION :
13 = 17 , false Given ratio of the edges of three cubes = 3 : 4 : 5
Therefore, (5, 1) does not lie on the given linear Let, Edge of 1 st cube = 3x cm

Edge of 3 rd cube = 5x cm
SOLUTION : ` Total volume of all the three cubes

4x 4 + 7x2 − 2 = 4 ^x2h2 + 7x2 − 2
= 27x3 + 64x3 + 125x3
[Making quadratic polynomial]
On putting x2 = y , we get = 216x3 cm3
Let edge of new cube formed be y cm.
4x 4 + 7x2 − 2 = 4y2 + 7y − 2
Length of diagonal of new cube = 3y

`
Here,
So, we split –8 into two parts whose sum is 7 and 3 y = 12 3
product is –8. [a Given diagonal of new cube = 12 3 cm ]
Clearly, 8 + ^− 1h = 7 and 8 ^− 1h = − 8
& y = 12 cm
4y2 + 7y − 2 = 4y2 + 8y − y − 2
Volume of new cube = ^12h3 cm3

Hence, 4x 4 + 7x2 − 2 = ^x2 + 2h^2x − 1h^2x + 1h .

39. In the given figure, if TU | | SR and TR | | SV , then
SOLUTION : find +a and +b . [4]
Let the radius and height of a cylinder be r cm and
h cm respectively.
According to the question,
r + h = 37 ...(1)
and total surface area of the cylinder = 1628 cm2
` 2πr ^r + h h = 1628
2πr ^37h = 1628

r = 44 # 7 = 7 cm

On putting the value of r in eq (1), we get

Hence, the volume of a solid cylinder is 4620 cm3 . +SRQ = +RPQ + RQP

+UTR = +VAU
[Alternate interior angles]
+VAU = 90c [a +UTR = 90c]
In ΔVAU ,
+VUT = +UVA + +VAU
[a Exterior angle = Sum of interior opposite angles]
a a = 25c + 90c = 115c
Hence, a = 115c and b = 40c.

households to an orphanage every month are : 2, 5, 3,
5, 6, 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 2, 2.
Find the mean, median and mode of the data. [4]

SOLUTION :

Mean = Sum of observation

Number of observation

Mean % of salary donated = 3.3 %
Arranging the data in ascending order,
We get : 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6
