Section: A

1. 3 and 1 1

2. 𝑎1
≠
𝑏1
, it has a unique solution hence, the statement is true. 1
𝑎2 𝑏2

3. P=3 1

4. 30, two-digit numbers are divisible by 3. 1

5. X=9 1

Section: B

6. 43𝑥 + 67𝑦 = −24 --------------(1)

67𝑥 + 43𝑦 = 24 ----------------(2) 1
Adding (1) and (2), we get 110𝑥 + 110𝑦 = 0 → 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 0 -----(3)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 2 ---------(4)
Add (3) & (4), we get x = 1 & y =-1 1
The solution is x = 1 and y = -1

7. 2𝑝−1 3 5

𝑞−1 2 5

8. 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑎2 𝑥 + (𝑎4 − 𝑏 4 ) = 0 1

𝑥=
𝑎 2 +𝑏2 𝑎 2 −𝑏 2
; 1
2 2

9. a =(1 + 𝑚2 ); 𝑏 = 2𝑚𝑐; 𝑐 = 𝑐 2 − 𝑎2
D=0 1
𝑏 2 − 4𝑎𝑐 = 0
(2𝑚𝑐)2 − 4(1+𝑚2 )(𝑐 2 − 𝑎2)=0 (Solve)
𝑐 2 = 𝑎2 (1 + 𝑚2 ) 1

Section: C

10. Let x be the time taken by larger diameter tap

(x+8) be the time taken by smaller diameter tap 1
1 1 10
+ =
𝑥 𝑥+8 96
1
5𝑥 2 − 56𝑥 − 384 = 0
1
Hence time taken by larger and smaller diameter taps are
16hrs and 24hrs respectively

11. Number of terms = 38 1

12. In ∆ADB & ∆PDQ

Prove ∆ADB ~ ∆PDQ (AA)
𝐴𝐵 𝐵𝐷
= (Substitute ( BQ=a,
𝑃𝑄 𝐷𝑄
DQ=b)
𝑥 𝑎 1
− 1 = ---------------(1)
𝑧 𝑏

Similarly, ∆BCD ~ ∆BPQ

𝐶𝐷 𝐵𝐷
=
𝑃𝑄 𝐵𝑄
Substitute ( BQ=a, DQ=b)
𝑧 𝑎
= ---------------(2)
𝑦−𝑧 𝑏 1

From (1) & (2), we get

1 1 1
+ = 1
𝑥 𝑦 𝑧

Section: D

13. 𝑎18 + 𝑎19 + 𝑎20 = 225 (substitute, we get)

2|P a ge
 A+18d=75------------(i) 1
𝑎35 + 𝑎36 + 𝑎37 = 429 (substitute, we get)
A+35d=143 --------(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get d=4 1
And a=3 1
The AP is 3,7,11,15……………………………..
Sum of all the 37 terms =2775 1

14. Given, To prove, Construction & Proof 2

(i) Given ∆ABC~∆PQR & ar(∆ABC)= ar(∆PQR) 2

Prove ∆ABC ≅∆PQR
Proof with reason
