2 If surface area of a sphere is 676 π cm2, then its radius is equal to (a) 12 cm (b) 13 cm (c) 9 cm (d) 8 cm

ANS: (b) Let radius of sphere be r cm

Surface area of sphere = 676p cm2

∴ 4pr2 = 676p r2 = ⇒ r = 13 cm

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle having an area of 9 cm2 is

(a) 8 cm (b) 36 cm

(c) 4 cm (d) 6 cm

ANS:

4 In a triangle PQR, if ∠QPR = 100° and PQ = PR, then ∠R and ∠Q respectively are

(a) 80°, 70° (b) 80°, 80°

(c) 70°, 80° (d) 40°, 40°

ANS: Since in an isosceles triangle, angles opposite to equal sides are equal, so
 ∠PRQ = ∠PQR ( Given PQ = PR) Now, in DPQR, ∠QPR + ∠PQR + ∠PRQ = 180° (Angle sum property

100° + ∠PQR + ∠PQR = 180° ⇒ 2∠PQR = 80° ⇒ ∠PQR = = 40° So, ∠PRQ = 40°

Hence, ∠R and ∠Q respectively are 40°, 40°. Correct option is (d).

ANS: At x-axis, y = 0

On putting y = 0 in 3x + 5y = 15, we have

⇒ 3x + 5 × 0 = 15 ⇒ 3x = 15 ⇒ x = 5 Correct option is (a).

(a) 2x + y = 9

(b) 2x – y = 12 (c) x + 3y = 1 (d) x + 3y = 0

ANS: Substituting x = 5 and y = –2 in LHS of 2x – y = 12,

we have

LHS = 2 × 5 – (–2) = 10 + 2 = 12 = RHS Correct option is (b).

11 (D) Not defined

12

In the given figure, AD is the median, then ∠BAD is (a) 35° (b) 70° (c) 110° (d) 55°

ANS: In ∆BAD and DCAD, BD = DC (∵ AD is median, so D is mid-point of BC) AB = AC (Given)

AD = AD (Common) ⇒ ∆BAD ≅ ∆CAD (SSS congruence rule) ⇒ ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT) Also,

∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35° (∵ AB = AC and ∠B = 35°) Now, in ∆BAC,

we have ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° (∵ Angle sum property of a triangle) ⇒

∠BAC + 35° + 35° = 180° ⇒ ∠BAC = 110° ⇒ 2∠BAD = 110° ⇒ ∠BAD = 55°

∴ Correct option is (d).

28. :

Solution:
Draw a line EF parallel to ST through R.

Since PQ || ST [Given]
and EF || ST [Construction]
∴ PQ || EF and QR is a transversal
⇒ ∠PQR = ∠QRF [Alternate interior angles] But ∠PQR = 110° [Given] (1mark)
∴∠QRF = ∠QRS + ∠SRF = 110° …(1)
Again ST || EF and RS is a transversal
∴ ∠RST + ∠SRF = 180° [Co-interior angles] or 130° + ∠SRF = 180°
⇒ ∠SRF = 180° – 130° = 50° (1mark)
Now, from (1), we have ∠QRS + 50° = 110°
⇒ ∠QRS = 110° – 50° = 60°
Thus, ∠QRS = 60°. (1mark)

29. ANS: Given: (i) AB || RS

(ii) O is mid-point of AS.
To prove: (i) AOB ≅ SOR
(ii) O is mid-point of BR.

(i) Given: AB || RS and AS is transversal.
OAB = OSR (Alternate interior angles)
Now, in AOB and SOR,
OAB = OSR (Proved above)
OA = OS (O is mid-point of AS)
and AOB = SOR (Vertically opposite angles)
AOB ≅ SOR (ASA congruence rule) Hence proved. (2marks)
(ii) As AOB ≅ SOR,
So OB = OR (CPCT) (1mark)
O is mid-point of BR. Hence proved

(ii) BD = AC
Proof: (i) In ABD and BAC,
AD = BC (Given)
DAB = CBA (Given)
AB = AB (Common)
ABD ≅ BAC (SAS congruence rule) (2marks)
(ii) BD = AC (CPCT) Hence proved (1marks)

OR Solution:
We have a parallelogram ABCD in which diagonal AC bisects ∠A
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠BAC

(i) Since, ABCD is a parallelogram.

∴ AB || DC and AC is a transversal.
∴ ∠1 = ∠3 …(1) (1marks)
[ ∵ Alternate interior angles are equal]
Also, BC || AD and AC is a transversal.
∴ ∠2 = ∠4 …(2) (1marks)
[ v Alternate interior angles are equal]
Also, ∠1 = ∠2 …(3)
[ ∵ AC bisects ∠A]
From (1), (2) and (3), we have
∠3 = ∠4 (1marks)

that ∠ BEC = 130° and ∠ ECD = 20°. Find ∠BAC.
Solution:
∠BEC = ∠EDC + ∠ECD (1marks)
[Sum of interior opposite angles is equal to exterior angle]
⇒ 130° = ∠EDC + 20°
⇒ ∠EDC = 130° – 20° = 110°
⇒ ∠BDC = 110° (1marks)
Since, angles in the same segment are equal.
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BDC
⇒ ∠BAC = 110° (1marks)

33. f (x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20

The factors of the constant term + 20 are ± ± 1, ± ± 2, ± ± 4, ± ± 5, ± ± 10 and 20

Putting x = -1, we have f (-1) = (-1)3 + 13 (-1)2 + 32 (-1) + 20 = -1 + 13 – 32 + 20 = 0
(1 marks)

So, (x + 1) is a factor of f (x) Let us now divide f (x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 by (x + 1) to get
the other factors of f (x) Using long division method,

we get x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 = (x + 1) (x2 + 12x + 20) (2 marks)

x2 + 2x + 20 = x2 + 10x + 2x + 20 = x (x + 10) + 2 (x + 10) = (x + 10) (x + 2)

Hence, x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 = (x + 1) (x + 10) (x + 2) (2 marks)

Now, in ∆BEC and ∆CFB
∠BCE = ∠CBF [Proved above]
∠BEC = ∠CFB [Each 90°]
BC = CB [Common]
∴ ∆BEC ≅ ∆CFB [By AAS congruency] (2 marks)
So, BE = CF [By C.P.C.T.] (1 marks)

Solution:
(i) In ∆ABE and ∆ACE, we have
∠AEB = ∠AFC
[Each 90° as BE ⊥ AC and CF ⊥ AB]
∠A = ∠A [Common]
BE = CF [Given]
∴ ∆ABE ≅ ∆ACF [By AAS congruency] (2 marks)
