Sol. Let total time be (n – 1) minutes in which the police catch the thief.
Since thief ran 1 minute before police start running.
Q Time taken by thief before he was caught = (n – 1 + 1) = n minute

Þ 200n = (n – 1) [200 + 10n – 20] Þ 200n = (n – 1) (10n + 180)

Þ n (n – 6) + 3 (n – 6) = 0 Þ (n – 6) (n + 3) = 0

10. How many terms of the A.P. 27, 24, 21, .... should be taken so that their sum is zero ?
Sol. In the given A.P.,
Here, first term (a) = 27
and Common difference (d) = 24 – 27 = – 3
Given Sum of n terms (Sn) = 0
n
We know that, Sn = [2a + (n - 1) d ]

n
0 = [2 × 27 + (n – 1) (– 3)]
2
Þ 54 – 3n + 3 = 0 Þ 3n = 57 Þ n = 19
Thus, the sum of 19 terms of the given A.P. is zero.

20. A toy is in the form of a cone of base radius 3.5 cm mounted on a hemisphere of base
diameter 7 cm. If the total height of the toy is 15.5 cm, find the total surface area of the toy.
é 22 ù
êë Use π = 7 úû
Sol. Here, given that
base radius of cone = base radius of hemisphere = 3.5 m = r
h = height of cone = 15.5 – 3.5 = 12 cm
Also, slant height of cone, l = h 2 + r 2
= (12) 2 + (3.5) 2 cm = 144 + 12.25 cm = 156.25 cm = 12.5 cm

l

\ Curved Surface Area of cone = prl = ´ 3.5 ´ 12.5 = 137.5 cm2

\ Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2pr2 3.5 cm
22 3.5 cm

Hence, Total Surface Area of toy = Surface area of hemisphere + Curved Surface Area of cone
= 77 + 137.5 = 214.5 cm2
28. The sum of three numbers in A.P. is 12 and sum of their cubes is 288. Find the numbers.

Þ 24d2 + 192 = 288 Sol. Let t1 and t2 be the time taken in going and
Þ 24d2 = 96 returning respectively.
Þ d2 = 4 Þ d = ± 2 Also, u and u + 10 be the speed in going
For d = 2, the numbers will be 2, 4, 6. For and returning respectively.

Thus, OP < OQ, i.e., OP is shorter than any
Þ 60 [u + 10 – u] = u (u + 10)
other segment joining O to any point of AB.
Þ u2 + 10u – 600 = 0
But among all line segments, joining point
O to point on AB, shortest one is Þ u2 + 30u – 20u – 600 = 0
perpendicular from O on AB. Þ u (u + 30) – 20 (u + 30) = 0
Hence, OP ^ AB. Þ (u + 30) (u – 20) = 0

Þ u = 20 or u = – 30 (rejected)
Hence, velocity in going 20 km/hour and in returning be (u + 10) i.e. 30 km/hour.
