10. Seven years ago Varun's age was five times the square of Swati's age. Three years hence, Swati's age will be two-
fifth of Varun's age. Find their present ages.

SECTION C
11. Vijay has rain water harvesting plant on his roof. After rain, all the water that is collected on the roof of
22 m × 20 m is drained into the cylindrical tank having diameter of base 2 m and height 3.5 m. It rained heavily
last night and in the morning the tank is just full.
(i) How much water is collected in the tank (in liters)?
(ii) Find the rainfall in cm.
12. A solid cylinder of diameter 12 cm and height 15 cm is melted and recast into 12 toys in the shape of a right-
circular cone mounted on a hemisphere. Find the radius of the hemisphere if the height of the cone is 3 times
the radius.
13. India is competitive manufacturing location due to the low cost of manpower and strong technical and
engineering capabilities contributing to higher quality production runs. The production of TV sets in a factory
increases uniformly by a fixed number every year. It produced 16000 sets in 6th year and 22600 in 9th year.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Find the production for first year.
(ii) In which year, the production is 29,200.
14. Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the center
of the circle.
OR
A circle touches the side 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 of a triangle 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 at 𝑃𝑃 and touches 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 and 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 when produced at 𝑄𝑄 and 𝑅𝑅
1
respectively. Show that 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 = (perimeter of triangle 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 ).
