Explanation: In each case, the remainder is 10 M
less than the divisor,
P(2, –2) k 1 Q(3, 7)
So, required number = LCM(15, 25, 35) – 10
Q L.C.M. of 15, 25, 35 is 525.
Hence, 2x + y = 4
least number = 525 – 10 = 515 Then, using section formula,
 3k + 2 7k − 2 
22. (d) 0, –6 M(x, y) =  ,

\ p(2) = 0 and p(–3) = 0  k + 1   k + 1 
Now, p(2) = (2)2 + (a +1)(2) + b = 0 ⇒ 6k + 4 + 7k – 2 = 4k + 4
⇒ 2a + b = –6 ...(i) ⇒ 13k + 2 = 4k + 4
And, p(–3) = (–3)2 + (a + 1)(–3) + b = 0 ⇒ 9k = 2
⇒ –3a + b = –6 ...(ii) 2

PQ PR QR
Explanation: = =
 (Vertically opposite angles) XZ YZ YZ
∠OAB = ∠OCD ⇒ DPQR ~ DXZY
 (Alternate interior angles) 50. (a) Their altitudes have a ratio a : b.
\ DAOB ~ DCOD (By AA criteria) Explanation: If the ratio of areas of two similar

triangles is a2 : b2, then their altitudes medians,
47. (a) 1 : 4
corresponding sides, perimeters and angle
Explanation: Since DAOB ~ DCOD bisectors have a ratio a : b.
ar (TAOB) AB2 5 2 1 2 1
So, = = c m = c m =
ar (TCOD) CD2 10 2 4
