22. A quadrilateral ABCD is drawn to circumscribe a circle. Prove that AB + CD = AD + BC.

Ans: We know that the lengths of the tangents drawn from an external point to the circle
are equal.
DR = DS ...... (i)
BP = BQ ...... (ii)
AP = AS ...... (iii)
CR = CQ ...... (iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), we get DR + BP + AP + CR = DS + BQ + AS + CQ
By rearranging the terms we get,
(DR + CR) + (BP + AP) = (CQ + BQ) + (DS + AS)
⇒ CD + AB = BC + AD
Hence it is proved AB + CD = AD + BC.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 5 -

 40 = 23 × 5, 42 = 2 × 3 × 7, 45 = 32 × 5
LCM (40, 42, 45) = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers
= 23 × 32 × 5 × 7 = 8 × 9 × 35 = 72 × 35 = 2520 cm.

27. If a, b are the zeroes of the polynomial 2x2 – 5x + 7, then find a polynomial whose zeroes are 2a

∴a+b= = and ab =
2 2 2
The given zeroes of required polynomial are 2a + 3b and 3a + 2b
5 25
Sum of the zeroes = 2a + 3b + 3a + 2b = 5a + 5b = 5(a + b) = 5 × =
2 2
Again, product of the zeroes = (2a + 3b) (3a + 2b) = 6 (a2 + b2) + 13ab
= 6 [(a + b)2 – 2ab)] + 13 ab = 6(a + b)2 + ab
= 6(5/2)2 + 7/2 = 75/2 + 7/2 = 82/2 = 41
Now, required polynomial is given by
25
k [x2 – (Sum of the zeroes) x + Product of the zeroes] = k [ x2 – x + 41]
2
k
= [2 x 2  25 x  82] , where k is any non-zero real number.

30. In the given figure, OP is equal to diameter of the circle. Prove that ABP is an equilateral triangle.

Ans: Join OP and let it meets the circle at point Q.

Since OP = 2r (Diameter of the circle)
⇒ OQ = QP = r
Consider ΔAOP in which OA ⊥ AP and OP is the hypotenuse.
∴ OQ = AQ = OA
(Mid-point of the hypotenuse is equidistant from the vertices)
⇒ OAQ is an equilateral triangle.
⇒ ∠AOQ = 60° (Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°)

Consider right-angled triangle OAP.

∠AOQ = 60° (Proved above)
∠OAP = 90° ⇒ ∠APO = 30°
∠APB = 2∠APO = 2 × 30° = 60°
Also PA = PB (Tangents to a circle from an external point are equal.)
⇒ ∠PAB = ∠PBA (Angles opposite to equal sides in ΔPAB)
In ΔABP, ∠APB = 60°
1800  600
⇒ ∠PAB = ∠PBA =  600

31. From a pack of 52 playing cards, jacks, queens, kings and aces of red colour are removed. From
the remaining a card is drawn at random. Find the probability that the card drawn is (i) a black
queen (ii) a red card (iii) a face card.
Ans: From the total playing 52 cards, red coloured jacks, queen, kings and aces are removed(i.e.,
2 jacks, 2 queens, 2 kings, 2 aces) ∴ Remaining cards = 52 – 8 = 44
(i) Favourable cases for a black queen are 2 (i.e., queen of club or spade)
∴ Probability of drawing a black queen = 2/44 = 1/22
(ii) Favourable cases for red cards are 26 – 8 = 18 (as 8 cards have been removed) (i.e.9 diamonds
+ 9 hearts)
∴ Probability of drawing a red card = 18/44 = 9/22
(iii) Favourable cases for a face card are 6 (i.e. 2 black jacks, queens and kings each)
∴ Probability of drawing a face card = 6/44 = 3/22

33. 200 logs are stacked in the following manner: 20 logs in the bottom row, 19 in the next row, 18 in
the row next to it and so on (see below figure). In how may rows are the 200 logs placed and how
many logs are in the top row?
Ans: Here, a is the first term, d is a common difference and n is the number of terms.
It can be observed that the number of logs in rows are forming an A.P. 20, 19, 18, ...
n
We know that sum of n terms of AP is given by the formula Sₙ = [2a + (n - 1) d]

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 8 -

 n
⇒ 200 = [2 × 20 + (n - 1)(- 1)] ⇒ 400 = n [40 - n + 1] ⇒ 400 = n [41 - n]
2
⇒ 400 = 41n - n² ⇒ n² - 41n + 400 = 0 ⇒ n² - 16n - 25n + 400 = 0
⇒ n(n - 16) - 25(n - 16) = 0 ⇒ (n - 16)(n - 25) = 0
⇒ Either (n -16) = 0 or (n - 25) = 0
∴ n = 16 or n = 25
The number of logs in nth row will be aₙ = a + (n - 1) d
⇒ a₁₆ = a + 15d ⇒ a₁₆ = 20 + 15 × (- 1) ⇒ a₁₆ = 20 – 15 ⇒ a₁₆ = 5
Similarly, a₂₅ = 20 + 24 × (- 1)
⇒ a₂₅ = 20 – 24 ⇒ a₂₅ = - 4
Clearly, the number of logs in the 16th row is 5. However, the number of logs in the 25th row is
negative 4, which is not possible.
Therefore, 200 logs can be placed in 16 rows. The number of logs in the top (16th) row is 5.
OR
The sum of the third and the seventh terms of an AP is 6 and their product is 8. Find the sum of
first sixteen terms of the AP.
Ans: Here, a is the first term, d is the common difference and n is the number of terms.
Given: a₃ + a₇ = 6 ----- (1)
a₃ × a₇ = 8 ----- (2)
We know that nth term of AP is aₙ = a + (n - 1)d
Third term, a₃ = a + 2d ----- (3)
Seventh term, a₇ = a + 6d ----- (4)
Using equation (3) and equation (4) in equation (1) to find the sum of the terms,
(a + 2d) + (a + 6d) = 6
⇒ 2a + 8d = 6 ⇒ a + 4d = 3 ⇒ a = 3 - 4d ----- (5)
Using equation (3) and equation (4) in equation (2) to find the product of the terms,
(a + 2d ) × (a + 6d ) = 8
Substituting the value of a from equation (5) above,
(3 - 4d + 2d) × (3 - 4d + 6d) = 8
⇒ (3 - 2d) × (3 + 2d) = 8
⇒ (3)² - (2d)² = 8 [Since (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b² ]
⇒ 9 - 4d² = 8 ⇒ 4d² = 1 ⇒ d² = ¼ ⇒ d = ½, -½
Case 1: When d = ½
a = 3 - 4d = 3 - 4 × ½ = 3 - 2 = 1
n 16
Sₙ = [2a + (n - 1) d] ⇒ S₁₆ = [ 2 × 1 + (16 - 1) × ½ ] = 8 × 19/2 = 76
2 2
Case 2: When d = - ½
a = 3 - 4d = 3 - 4 × (- ½) = 3 + 2 = 5
n 16
Sₙ = [2a + (n – 1) d] ⇒ S₁₆ = [2 × 5 + (16 - 1) × (- ½)] = 8 [10 - 15/2] = 8 × 5/2 = 20

35. Two pipes running together can fill a cistern in 3 hours. If one pipe takes 3 hours more than
13
the other to fill it, find the time in which each pipe would fill the cistern.
Ans: Let time taken by faster pipe to fill the cistern be x hrs.
Therefore, time taken by slower pipe to fill the cistern = (x + 3) hrs
Since the faster pipe takes x minutes to fill the cistern.

⇒ 40 (2x + 3) = 13x (x + 3) ⇒ 80x + 120 = 13x2 + 39x
⇒ 13x2 – 41x – 120 = 0 ⇒ 13x2 – 65x + 24x – 120 = 0
⇒ 13x (x – 5) + 24 (x – 5) = 0 ⇒ (x – 5) (13x + 24) = 0
Either x – 5 = 0 or 13x + 24 = 0
⇒ x = 5 as x = −24/13 not possible.
Hence, the time taken by the two pipes is 5 hours and 8 hours respectively.

If Zeba was younger by 5 years than what she really is, then the square of her age (in years)
would have been 11 more than five times her actual age. What is her age now? [NCERT
Exemplar]
Ans: Let the present age of Zeba be x years.
Age before 5 years = (x – 5) years
According to given condition, (x – 5)2 = 5x + 11
⇒ x2 + 25 – 10x = 5x + 11 ⇒ x2 – 10x – 5x + 25 – 11 = 0
⇒ x2 – 15x + 14 = 0 ⇒ x2 – 14x – x + 14 = 0
⇒ x (x – 14) – 1 (x – 14) = 0 ⇒ (x – 1) (x – 14) = 0
⇒ x – 1 = 0 or x – 14 = 0

36. On the roadway, Points A and B, which stand in for Chandigarh and Kurukshetra, respectively,
are located nearly 90 kilometres apart. At the same time, a car departs from Kurukshetra and one
from Chandigarh. These cars will collide in 9 hours if they are travelling in the same direction,

 and in 9/7 hours if they are travelling in the other direction. Let X and Y be two cars that are
travelling at x and y kilometres per hour from places A and B, respectively. On the basis of the
above information, answer the following questions:

(a) When both cars move in the same direction, then find the situation can be represented
algebraically. [2]
OR
(a) When both cars move in the opposite direction, then find the situation can be represented
algebraically. [2]
(b) Find the speed of car x. [1]
(c) Find the speed of car y. [1]
Ans: (a) Suppose two cars meet at point Q. Then, Distance travelled by car X = AQ, Distance
travelled by car Y = BQ. It is given that two cars meet in 9 hours.
∴ Distance travelled by car X in 9 hours = 9x km = AQ = 9x
Distance travelled by car Y in 9 hours = 9y km = BQ = 9y
Clearly, AQ - BQ = AB = 9x - 9y = 90 = x - y = 10
OR
Suppose two cars meet at point P. Then Distance travelled by car X = AP and Distance travelled
by car Y = BP.

Clearly, AP + BP = AB
9 9 9
⇒ x + y = 90 ⇒ (x + y) = 90 ⇒ x + y = 70
7 7 7
(b) We have x - y = 10 and x + y = 70
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get 2x = 80 ⇒ x = 40
Hence, speed of car X is 40 km/hr.
(c) We have x - y = 10 ⇒ 40 - y = 10 ⇒ y = 30
Hence, speed of car y is 30 km/hr

37. In a toys manufacturing company, wooden parts are assembled and painted to prepare a toy. One
specific toy is in the shape of a cone mounted on a cylinder. For the wood processing activity
center, the wood is taken out of storage to be sawed, after which it undergoes rough polishing,
then is cut, drilled and has holes punched in it. It is then fine polished using sandpaper. For the
retail packaging and delivery activity center, the polished wood sub-parts are assembled together,
then decorated using paint. The total height of the toy is 26 cm and the height of its conical part is
6 cm. The diameters of the base of the conical part is 5 cm and that of the cylindrical part is 3 cm.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:

 (a) If its cylindrical part is to be painted yellow, find the surface area need to be painted. [1]
(b) If its conical part is to be painted green, find the surface area need to be painted. [2]
OR
(b) Find the volume of the wood used in making this toy. [2]
(c) If the cost of painting the toy is 3 paise per sq cm, then find the cost of painting the toy. (Use π
= 3.14) [1]
Ans: Let the radius of cone be r, slant height of cone be l, height of cone be h, radius of cylinder
be r′ and height of cylinder be h′.
Then r = 2.5 cm, h = 6 cm, r′ = 1.5 cm, h′ = 26 – 6 = 20 cm and
Slant height, l  r 2  h 2  2.52  62  6.25  36  42.25  6.5cm
(a) Area to be painted yellow = CSA of the cylinder + area of one base of the cylinder
= 2πr′h′ + π(r′)2 = πr′ (2h′ + r′) = (3.14 × 1.5) (2 × 20 + 1.5) cm2
= 4.71 × 41.5 cm2
= 195.465 cm2
(b) Area to be painted green = CSA of the cone + base area of the cone – base area of the cylinder
= πrl + πr2 – π(r′)2 = π[(2.5 × 6.5) + (2.5)2 – (1.5)2] cm2
= π[20.25] cm2 = 3.14 × 20.25 cm2
= 63.585 cm2
OR
Volume of wood used in making the toy = Volume of cone + Volume of cylinder

38. Radio towers are used for transmitting a range of communication services including radio and
television. The tower will either act as an antenna itself or support one or more antennas on its
structure, including microwave dishes. They are among the tallest human-made structures. There
are 2 main types: guyed and self-supporting structures. On a similar concept, a radio station tower
was built in two sections A and B.
Tower is supported by wires from a point O. Distance between the base of the tower and point O
is 36 m. From point O, the angle of elevation of the top of section B is 30° and the angle of
elevation of the top of section A is 45°.
