1. In a formula racing competition, the time taken by two racing cars A and B to complete 1 round of
the track is 30 minutes and p minutes respectively. If the cars meet again at the starting point for the
first time after 90 minutes and the HCF (30, p) = 15, then the value of p is
(a)45 minutes (b)60 minutes (c)75 minutes (d)180 minutes
Ans: (a)45 minutes
LCM = 90 and HCF = 15
We know that HCF x LCM = Product of two numbers
⇒ 15 x 90 = 30 x p
⇒ p = 45
2. The solution of the following pair of equation is:

x – 3y = 2, 3x – y = 14
(a) x = 5, y = 1 (b) x = 2, y = 3 (c) x = 1, y = 2 (d) x = 1, y = 4
Ans: (a) x = 5, y = 1
Given, equations are x – 3y = 2 …(i)
and 3x – y = 14 …(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get y = 1
x = 2 + 3y = 2 + 3 × 1 = 5
Hence, x = 5 and y = 1
3. If two positive integers a and b are written as a = x3y2 and b = xy3, where x and y are prime
numbers, then the HCF (a, b) is:
(a) xy (b) xy2 (c) x3y3 (d) x2y2
3 2 3
Ans: (b) Here, a = x y and b = xy
⇒ a = x × x × x × y × y and b = xy × y × y
∴ HCF(a, b) = x × y × y = x × y2 = xy2
4. The ratio in which x-axis divides the join of (2, -3) and (5, 6) is:

each of its ends. The length of the entire capsule is 2 cm. What is the total surface area of the
capsule? (Take π as 3.14)
(a) 0.785 cm2 (b) 0.98125 cm2 (c) 2.7475 cm2 (d) 3.14 cm2
Ans: (d) 3.14 cm2
Total surface area of the capsule = curved surface area of cylindrical portion
+ 2 × curved surface area of hemispherical portion
= 2πrh + 2 × 2πr2 = 2πrh + 4πr2
= 2πr(h + 2r)
= 2πr(1.50 + 0.50) = 4πr
= 4 × 3.14 × 0.25 = 3.14 cm2

12. Two cubes each with 6 cm edge are joined end to end. The surface area of the resulting cuboid is
(a) 180 ² (b) 360 ² (c) 300 ² (d) 260 ²
Ans: (b) 360 ²
If two cubes of edges 6 cm are joined face to face it will take the shape of a cuboid whose length,
breadth and height are (6 + 6) cm, 6cm and 6cm i.e. 12 cm, 6cm and 6cm respectively.
Thus, total surface area of the cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (12× 6 + 6× 6 + 12× 6)
= 2 (72 + 36 + 72)
= 2 ×180 cm2 = 360 cm2

14. The probability of getting a bad egg in a lot of 400 is 0.035. The number of bad eggs in the lot is
(a) 7 (b) 14 (c) 21 (d) 28
Ans: (b) 14
Total number of eggs = 400
Probability of getting a bad egg P(E) = 0.035
Consider x as the number of bad eggs
P(E) = Number of bad eggs/ Total number of eggs
Substituting the values
0.035 = x/400 ⇒ 35/1000 = x/400 ⇒ x = 35/1000 x 400
⇒ x = 140/10 ⇒ x = 14
15. If 3 sin θ – cos θ = 0 and 0° < θ < 90°, find the value of θ.
(a) 30° (b) 45° (c) 60° (d) 90°

16. Find the value of k for which the equation x2 + k(2x + k − 1)+ 2 = 0 has real and equal roots.
(a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) 5
Ans: (a) 2
Given quadratic equation: x2 + k(2x + k – 1) + 2 = 0
⇒ x2 + 2kx + (k2 – k + 2) = 0
For equal roots, b2 – 4ac = 0
⇒ 4k2 – 4k2 + 4k – 8 = 0
⇒ 4k = 8 ⇒ k = 2
17. In the below figure, the pair of tangents AP and AQ drawn from an external point A to a circle with
centre O are perpendicular to each other and length of each tangent is 5 cm. Then radius of the
circle is
(a) 10 cm (b) 7.5 cm (c) 5 cm (d) 2.5 cm

Ans: (c) 5 cm
we know that radius of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact
⇒ OP ⊥ AP and OQ ⊥ AQ
Also sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
⇒∠O + ∠P + ∠A + ∠Q = 360°
⇒∠O + 90° + 90° + 90° = 360°
⇒∠O = 360° – 270° = 90°
Thus ∠O = ∠P = ∠A = ∠Q = 90° and OP = OQ (radii)
⇒ OPAQ is a square
⇒ radius = OP = OQ = AP = AQ = 5 cm

Reason (R): For any value of θ, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
Ans: We know that for any value of θ, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
So, Reason is correct.
For assertion: We have x = 2 sin2θ and y = 2 cos2θ + 1
Then, x + y = 2 sin2θ + 2 cos2θ + 1
= 2(sin2θ + cos2θ) + 1
= 2 x 1 + 1 [∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
= 2 + 1 = 3.
Hence, Assertion is also correct.
Correct option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

24. In figure PA and PB are tangents to the circle drawn from an external point P. CD is the third
tangent touching the circle at Q. If PA = 15 cm, find the perimeter of ΔPCD.
Ans: Since, PA and PB are tangent from same external point.

∴ PA = PB = 15 cm
Now, perimeter of ∆PCD = PC + CD + DP
= PC + CQ + QD+ DP
= PC + CA + DB + DP
= PA + PB = 15 + 15 = 30 cm
OR

Two concentric circles are of radii 8 cm and 5 cm. Find the length of the chord of the larger circle
which touches the smaller circle.
Ans: Let O be the center of the concentric circle.
Let AB be the chord of larger circle touching the smaller circle at P.

Here, OA = 8 cm, OP = 5 cm
Since AB is tangent of P to the smaller circle and OP is the radius of the smaller circle.
∴ OP ⊥ AB.
In right triangle APO, we have
OA2 = AP2 + OP2 ⇒ (8)2 = AP2 + (5)2 ⇒ AP2 = 64 – 25 = 39
⇒ AP = √39 cm
Hence, Length of the chord of largest circle AB = 2× AP = 2√39 cm

Sumit is 3 times as old as his son. Five years later, he shall be two and a half time as old as his son.
How old is Sumit at present?
Ans: Let present age of Sumit be x years and present age of his son be y years.
∴ x = 3y ⇒ x – 3y = 0 ...(i)
After 5 years, Age of Sumit = (x + 5) years
Age of his son = (y + 5) years
According to the question,
1
(x + 5) = 2 (y + 5)
2
5
⇒ (x + 5) = (y + 5)
2
⇒ 2x + 10 = 5y + 25 ⇒ 2x – 5y = 15 ...(ii)

four equal parts.
Ans: Let P, Q, R be the points that divide the line segment joining A(–2, 2) and B(2, 8) into four
equal parts.

Since, Q divides the line segment AB into two equal parts, i.e., Q is the mid-point of AB.

27. If PQ is a tangent drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O and QOR is a diameter
where length of QOR is 8 cm such that ∠POR = 120°, then find OP and PQ.
Ans: Let O be the centre and QOR = 8 cm is diameter of a circle.
PQ is tangent such that ∠POR = 120°.
Now, OQ = OR = 8/2 = 4 cm
∠POQ = 180° – 120° = 60° (Linear pair)
Also OQ ⊥ PQ
Now, in right ΔPOQ,
cos 60° = OQ/PO ⇒ 1/2 = OQ/PO
⇒ 1/2 = 4/PO ⇒ PO = 8 cm
Again, tan 60° = PQ/OQ ⇒ √3 = PQ/4
⇒ PQ = 4√3 cm.

30. Solve the following linear equations:

152x – 378y = –74 and –378x + 152y = –604
Ans: We have, 152x – 378y = –74 ...(i)
–378x + 152y = –604 ...(ii)
Adding equation (i) and (ii), we get
⇒ –226(x +y) = –678
⇒ x + y = 3 …(iii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we get
530x – 530y = 530
⇒ x – y = 1 …(iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv), we get 2x = 4 ⇒ x = 2
Putting the value of x in (iii), we get
2+y=3⇒y=1
Hence, the solution of given system of equations is x = 2, y = 1.
31. The sum of the 5th and the 9th terms of an AP is 30. If its 25th term is three times its 8th term, find
the AP.
Ans: According to question, a5 + a9 = 30
⇒ (a + 4d) + (a + 8d) = 30
⇒ 2a + 12d = 30 ⇒ a + 6d = 15
⇒ a = 15 – 6d ...(i)
Also, a25 = 3a8 ⇒ a + 24d = 3(a + 7d)
⇒ a + 24d = 3a + 21d ⇒ 2a = 3d
Putting the value of a form (i), we have
2 (15 – 6d) = 3d ⇒ 30 – 12d = 3d

⇒ 15d = 30 ⇒ d = 2
So, a = 15 – 6 × 2 = 15 – 12 [From equation (i)]
⇒a=3
The AP will be 3, 5, 7, 9....

32. From a solid cylinder whose height is 2.4 cm and diameter 1.4 cm, a conical cavity of the same
height and same diameter is hollowed out. Find the total surface area of the remaining solid to the
nearest cm2.
Ans: We have, Radius of the cylinder = 1.4/2 = 0.7 cm
Height of the cylinder = 2.4 cm
Also, radius of the cone = 0.7 cm
and height of the cone = 2.4 cm
Now, slant height of the cone = l

Now, l2 = (0.7)2+(2.4)2
⇒ l2 = 0.49 + 5.76 = 6.25 ⇒ l = 2.5 cm
∴ Total surface area of the remaining solid
= CSA of cylinder + CSA of the cone + area of upper circular base of cylinder
= 2πrh + πrl + πr2 = πr(2h + l + r)

35. The lower window of a house is at a height of 2 m above the ground and its upper window is 4 m
vertically above the lower window. At certain instant, the angles of elevation of a balloon from
these windows are observed to be 60° and 30°, respectively. Find the height of the balloon above
the ground.
Ans: Let P and Q be the position of windows respectively.
Let AB = x m and CQ = y m

CQ ' 1 y
Now, in ∆QQ'C, we have tan 300   
QQ ' 3 x
 x  3 y ...(i)
CP ' y4
Also, in ∆CP'P we have tan 600   3
PP ' 3y
⇒ 3y = y+ 4 & 2y = 4
⇒ y = 2m
⇒ Height of the balloon = (y + 4 + 2) m = (2 + 4 + 2) m = 8m

cards well.
Based on the above information answer the following questions.

(i) Write the number of total possible outcomes.
(ii) She draws a card from the well-shuffled pack of remaining cards. What is the probability that
the card is a face card?
(iii) Write the probability of drawing a black card.
OR
(iii) What is the probability of getting neither a black card nor an ace card?
Ans: (i) Total possible outcomes = 52 – 6 = 46
(ii) Number of favourable outcomes = 6
P(face card) = 6/46 = 3/23
(iii) Number of black cards in the shuffled cards = 13 + 7 = 20
P(black card) = 20/46 = 10/23
OR
Number of black cards and ace = 20 + 2 = 22
∴ Number of favourable outcomes = 46 – 22 = 24
P(neither a black card nor an ace) = 24/46 = 12/23

(ii) If the trees are planted in the number of rows obtained in part (i), how many columns will each
field have?
(iii) If total cost of planted trees in one column is Rs. 500, then find the cost to plant the trees in
smaller field.
OR
If the total cost of planted trees in one column is Rs. 500, the find the cost to plant the trees in larger
field.
Ans: (i) The maximum number of rows for two field is HCF of 168 and 462.
Now 168 = 23 × 3 × 7
462 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 11
∴ HCF (168, 462) = 2 × 3 × 7 = 42
∴ Number of rows = 42

168
(ii) Number of columns in smaller field = =4
42
462
Number of columns in larger field = = 11
42
(iii) Number of columns in smaller field = 4
∴ cost = Rs. 4 × 500 = Rs. 2000.
OR
Number of columns in larger field = 11
∴ Required cost = 11 × 500 = Rs. 5500

26. Four bells toll at an interval of 8, 12, 15 and 18 seconds respectively. All the four begin to toll
together. Find the number of times they toll together in one hour excluding the one at the start.
Ans: Prime factorisation of the given numbers are:
8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23
12 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 22 × 31
15 = 3 × 5 = 31 × 51
18 = 2 × 3 × 3 = 21 × 32
LCM (8, 12, 15 and 18) = 23 × 32 × 51 = 8 × 9 × 5 = 360 sec = 6 min

Find the quadratic polynomial sum and product of whose zeros are –1 and –20 respectively. Also
find the zeroes of the polynomial so obtained.
Ans: Let α and β be the zeros of the quadratic polynomial.

and product of zeros, α. β = – 20
Now, quadratic polynomial be
x2 – (α + β) . x + α β = x2 –(–1) x – 20 = x2 + x – 20

Now, for zeroes of this polynomial
x2 + x – 20 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 5x – 4x – 20 = 0
⇒ x(x + 5) – 4 (x + 5) = 0 ⇒ (x + 5) (x – 4) = 0
⇒ x = – 5, 4

28. The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units, if its length is reduced by 5 units and breadth
is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3 units and the breadth by 2 units, the area
increases by 67 square units. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Ans: Let length and breadth be x and y , Area = xy
1st condition: ( x – 5 ) ( y + 3 ) = xy – 9
⇒ 3x – 5y = 6
2nd condition: ( x + 3 ) ( y + 2 ) = xy + 67

Solve 1st and 2nd equations, we get x = 17 and y = 9
Hence, Length of rectangle = 17 units and breadth of rectangle = 9 units
29. In the below figure, XY and X′Y′ are two parallel tangents to a circle with centre O and another
tangent AB with point of contact C intersecting XY at A and X′Y′ at B. Prove that ∠AOB = 90°.
Ans: Join OC. Since, the tangents drawn to a circle from an external point are equal.
∴ AP = AC
In Δ PAO and Δ AOC, we have:

AO = AO [Common]
OP = OC [Radii of the same circle]
AP = AC
⇒ Δ PAO ≅ Δ AOC [SSS Congruency]
∴ ∠PAO = ∠CAO = ∠1
∠PAC = 2 ∠1 ...(1)
Similarly ∠CBQ = 2 ∠2 ...(2)
Again, we know that sum of internal angles on the same side of a transversal is 180°.
∴ ∠PAC + ∠CBQ = 180°
⇒ 2 ∠1 + 2 ∠2 = 180° [From (1) and (2)]
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°/2 = 90° ...(3)

Also ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠AOB = 180° [Sum of angles of a triangle]
⇒ 90° + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 180° − 90° ⇒ ∠AOB = 90°.

return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream.
Ans: Let the speed of the stream be x km/h.
Therefore, the speed of the boat upstream = (18 – x) km/h and the speed of the boat downstream =
(18 + x) km/h.
24
The time taken to go upstream = distance/speed =
18  x
24
Similarly, the time taken to go downstream =
18  x
24 24
According to the question,  1
18  x 18  x
24(18 + x) – 24(18 – x) = (18 – x) (18 + x)
x2 + 48x – 324 = 0
x = 6 or – 54
Since x is the speed of the stream, it cannot be negative. So, we ignore the root x = – 54. Therefore,
x = 6 gives the speed of the stream as 6 km/h.
OR

A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been 6 km/h faster, it
would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the train were slower by 6 km/hr; it
would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the length of the journey.
Ans: Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr and let the actual time taken be y hours.
Distance covered is xy km If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced by 4
hours i.e., when speed is (x+6)km/hr, time of journey is (y−4) hours.
∴ Distance covered = (x + 6)(y − 4)
⇒ xy = (x + 6)(y − 4) ⇒ −4x + 6y − 24 = 0 ⇒ −2x + 3y −12 = 0 ………….(i)
Similarly xy = (x − 6)(y + 6) ⇒ 6x − 6y − 36 = 0 ⇒ x − y − 6 = 0 …………(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get x=30 and y=24
Putting the values of x and y in equation (i), we obtain
Distance = (30 × 24)km =720km.
Hence, the length of the journey is 720km.
27. Given that √3 is irrational, prove that 2 + 5√3 is irrational.

prime integers and q ≠0
i.e 2 + 5√3 = p/q
p  2q
So √3 = …(i)
5q
Since p, q, 5 and 2 are integers and q ≠ 0, RHS of equation (i) is rational.
But LHS of (i) is √3 which is irrational. This is not possible. This contradiction has arisen due to
our wrong assumption that 2 + 5√3 is
rational
So, 2 + 5√3 is irrational.

31. In the given figure, AB is a chord of length 8 cm of a circle of radius 5 cm. The tangents to the
circle at A and B intersect at P. Find the length of AP.
Ans: AB = 8 cm ⇒ AM = 4 cm
∴ OM = √(52 – 42) = 3 cm
Let AP = y cm, PM = x cm
∴ ∆OPA is a right angle triangle
∴ OP2 = OA2 + AP2
(x + 3)2 = y2 + 25
⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x = y2 + 25 ...(i)
Also, x2 + 42 = y2 ...(ii)
⇒ x2 + 6x + 9 = x2 + 16 + 25
⇒ 6x = 32
⇒ x = 32/6 = 16/3 cm
∴ y2 = x2 + 16 = 256/9 + 16 = 400/9
⇒ y = 20/3 cm

Ans: Let ABCD be the quadrilateral circumscribing a circle at the center O such that it touches the
circle at the point P,Q,R,S. Let join the vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD to the center of the circle

In ΔOAP and ΔOAS
AP=AS ( Tangents from to same point A)
PO=OS ( Radii of the same circle)
OA=OA ( Common side)
so, ΔOAP=ΔOAS (SSS congruence criterion)
∴ ∠POA=∠AOS (CPCT)
⇒ ∠1=∠8
Similarly, ∠2=∠3, ∠4=∠5 and ∠6=∠7
∠1+∠2 +∠3+∠4+∠5+∠6+∠7+∠8 = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1 +∠8) +(∠2 +∠3) + (∠4 +∠5) + (∠6 +∠7) = 360⁰
⇒ 2(∠1) + 2(∠2) + 2(∠5) + 2(∠6) = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1) + (∠2) + (∠5) + (∠6) = 180⁰
∴ ∠AOD + ∠COD=180⁰
Similarly, ∠BOC + ∠DOA = 180⁰

We will reject x = 2 as x − 6 will become negative.
Hence, B takes 12 days to complete the work alone.

36. Aditya is a fitness freak and great athlete. He always wants to make his nation proud by winning
medals and prizes in the athletic activities.
An upcoming activity for athletes was going to be organised by Railways. Aditya wants to
participate in 200 m race. He can currently run that distance in 51 seconds. But he wants to increase
his speed, so to do it in 31 seconds. With each day of practice, it takes him 2 seconds less.
(i) He wants to makes his best time as 31 sec. In how many days will be able to achieve his target?
(ii) What will be the difference between the time taken on 5th day and 7th day.
OR
(ii) Which term of the arithmetic progression 3, 15, 27, 39 .... will be 120 more than its 21st term?
Ans: Ans:
(i) Let, the number of days taken to achieve the target be n.
In the given A.P., a = 51, d = – 2
Since an = a + (n – 1)d ⇒ 31 = 51 + (n – 1)(– 2)
⇒ 31 – 51 = (n – 1)(– 2) ⇒ – 20 = (n – 1) (– 2)
⇒ (n – 1) = 10 ⇒ n = 11
Hence, 11 days are needed to achieve the target.
(ii) a5 = a + 4d = 51 + 4(– 2) = 51 – 8 = 43 sec
a7 = a + 6d = 51 + 6(– 2) = 51 – 12 = 39 sec
Now, time difference = 43 – 39 = 4 sec.
OR
(ii) We have, a = 3 and d = 12
∴ a21 = a + 20d = 3 + 20 × 12 = 243
Let nth term of the given AP be 120 more than its 21st term. Then, an = 120 + a21
⇒ 3 + (n – 1)d = 120 + 243
⇒ 3 + 12(n – 1) = 363 ⇒ 12(n – 1) = 360
⇒ n – 1 = 30 ⇒ n = 31
Hence, 31st term of the given AP is 120 more than its 21st term.

A and P are two positions of the balloon.
CD is the horizontal line from the eyes of the (observer) girl.
Here PD = AB = 88.2 m − 1.2 m = 87 m
Thus, the required distance between the two positions of the balloon = 58 √3 m
= 58 x 1.732 = 100.46 m (approx.)
(ii) Speed of the balloon = Distance/time = 100.46/30 = 3.35 m/s (approx.)

(a) 2 (b) – 2 (c) ¼ (d) ½
Ans: (a) 2
If ½ is a root of the equation
x2 + kx – 5/4 = 0 then, substituting the value of ½ in place of x should give us the value of k.
Given, x2 + kx – 5/4 = 0 where, x = ½
(½)2 + k (½) – (5/4) = 0
⇒ (k/2) = (5/4) – ¼ ⇒ k = 2

Ans: (c) 2:7
Let k :1 be the ratio in which the line segment joining P( -3, 10) and Q(6, -8) is divided by point O(-
1, 6).
By the section formula, we have -1 = ( 6k – 3)/(k + 1)
⇒ –k – 1 = 6k – 3
⇒ 7k = 2 ⇒ k = 2/7
Hence, the required ratio is 2:7.

DB EC 3x  4 3x
⇒ 21x2 - 12x = 15x2 + 20x – 6x – 8
⇒ 6x2 – 26 + 8x = 0 ⇒ 3x2 – 13x + 4 =0
⇒ 3x2 – 12x - x + 4 = 0 ⇒ 3x(x – 4) – 1(x – 4) = 0
⇒ (x – 4)(3x – 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 4, 1/3
Neglecting x = 1/3 as AD will become negative, we have x = 4
So, A is false but R is true.

21. Find the value of m for which the pair of linear equations:
2x + 3y – 7 = 0 and (m – 1) x + (m + 1) y = (3m – 1) has infinitely many solutions
Ans: For infinitely many solutions the condition is
a1 b1 c1 2 3 7
    
a2 b2 c2 m  1 m  1 3m  1
Now, 2(m + 1) = 3(m – 1) ⇒ m = 5
and 3(3m – 1) = 7(m + 1) ⇒ m = 5
Hence, for m = 5, the system has infinitely many solutions.
22. Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomials p(t) = 5t2 + 12t + 7 and verify the relationship between
the zeroes and the coefficients.
Ans: 5t2 + 12t + 7 = 0 ⇒ 5t2 + 5t + 7t + 7 = 0
⇒ 5t (t + 1) + 7(t + 1) = 0 ⇒ (t + 1)(5t + 7) = 0
⇒ t + 1 = 0 ⇒ t = -1
5t + 7 = 0 ⇒ 5t = -7 ⇒ t = -7/5
Therefore, zeroes are (-7/5) and -1
Now, Sum of the zeroes = – (coefficient of x) ÷ coefficient of x2
α + β = – b/a
⇒ (- 1) + (- 7/5) = – (12)/5
⇒ – 12/5 = – 12/5
Product of the zeroes = constant term ÷ coefficient of x2
α β = c/a
⇒ (- 1)(- 7/5) = 7/5
⇒ 7/5 = 7/5

23. Two dice are thrown at the same time. Find the probability of getting (i) same number on both dice
(ii) different numbers on both dice.

(i) Same number on both dice.
Number of possible outcomes = 6
Therefore, the probability of getting same number on both dice = 6/36 = 1/6
(ii) Different number on both dice.
Number of possible outcomes = 36 – 6 = 30
Therefore, the probability of getting different number on both dice = 30/36 = 5/6
OR
Cards marked with number 3, 4, 5, …, 50 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. A card is

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

Ans: We know that the lengths of tangents drawn from an exterior point to a circle are equal.
AP = AS ... (i) [tangents from A]

BP = BQ ... (ii) [tangents from B]
CR = CQ ... (iii) [tangents from C]
DR = DS ... (iv) [tangents from D]
AB + CD = (AP + BP) + (CR + DR)
= (AS + BQ) + (CQ + DS) [using (1), (ii), (iii), (’v)]
= (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
=AD+ BC.
Hence, AB + CD = AD + BC.
25. Find the points on the x–axis which are at a distance of 2√5 from the point (7, –4). How many such
points are there?
Ans: Let coordinates of the point=(x, 0)(given that the point lies on x axis)
x1 = 7, y1=-4and x2 = x, y2=0
Distance =√(x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2
According to the question, 2√5=√(x – 7)2+ (0 – 4(-4))2
Squaring L.H.S and R.H.S, we get 20 = x2 + 49 – 14x + 16
⇒ 20=x2 + 65 – 14x ⇒ x2 – 14x + 45 = 0 ⇒ x2 – 9x – 5x + 45 = 0
⇒ x(x – 9) – 5(x – 9) = 0 ⇒ (x – 9) (x – 5) = 0 ⇒ x – 9 = 0, x – 5 = 0
⇒ x = 9 or x = 5
Therefore, coordinates of points (9, 0) or (5, 0)

cm, respectively. Find the minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same
distance in complete steps.
Ans: Step measures of three persons are 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm.
The minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same distance in complete steps
is the LCM of 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm.
Prime factorisation of 40, 42 and 45 gives
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

Show that 5 + 2√7 is an irrational number, where √7 is given to be an irrational number.
Ans: Let 5 + 2√7 is a rational number such that
5 + 2√7 = a, where a is a rational number
a 5
⇒ 2√7 = a – 5 ⇒ 7 
2
a 5
Since a is a rational number and 2, 5 are integers, therefore is a rational number

⇒ √7 is a rational number which contradicts the fact that √7 is an irrational number
Therefore, our assumption is wrong
Hence, 5 + 2√7 is an irrational number
27. From a point on a ground, the angle of elevation of bottom and top of a transmission tower fixed on
the top of a 20 m high building are 45° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the tower.
Ans: Let the height of the building is BC, the height of the transmission tower which is fixed at the
top of the building be AB.

D is the point on the ground from where the angles of elevation of the bottom B and the top A of
the transmission tower AB are 45° and 60° respectively.
The distance of the point of observation D from the base of the building C is CD.
Combined height of the building and tower = AC = AB + BC
In ΔBCD, tan 45° = BC/CD
⇒ 1 = 20/CD
⇒ CD = 20
In ΔACD, tan 60° = AC/CD
⇒ √3 = AC/20
⇒ AC = 20√3
Height of the tower, AB = AC - BC
⇒ AB = 20√3 - 20 m = 20 (√3 - 1) m
28. In the below figure, if ∠1 =∠2 and ΔNSQ = ΔMTR, then prove that ΔPTS ~ ΔPRQ.
Ans: According to the question, ∆ NSQ ≅ ∆MTR and ∠1 = ∠2

Since, ∆NSQ = ∆MTR
So, SQ = TR ….(i)
Also, ∠1 = ∠2 ⇒ PT = PS….(ii) [sides opposite to equal angles]
From Equation (i) and (ii),
PS/SQ = PT/TR
⇒ ST || QR (By converse of basic proportionality theorem)
∴ ∠1 = ∠PQR and ∠2 = ∠PRQ (corresponding angles)
In ∆PTS and ∆PRQ.
∠P = ∠P [Common angles]
∠1 = ∠PQR (proved)
∠2 = ∠PRQ (proved)
∴ ∆PTS – ∆PRQ [By AAA similarity criteria]

Ans: Given equations are 2x + y = 23 …(i)
4x – y = 19 …(ii)
On adding both equations, we get 6x = 42
⇒x=7
Put the value of x in Eq. (i), we get
2(7) + y = 23
⇒ y = 23 – 14
⇒y=9
Hence 5y – 2x = 5(9) – 2(7) = 45 – 14 = 31
y/x – 2 = 9/7 -2 = -5/7
31. 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°

A circle is inscribed in a ΔABC having sides 8 cm, 10 cm and 12 cm as shown in the following
figure. Find AD, BE and CF.
Ans: Let AD = x1, BE = x2 and CF = x3;

then AF = AD = x1, BD = BE = x2
and CE = CF = x3.
∴ x1 + x2 = 12; x2 + x3 = 8; x1 + x3 = 10 (1)
Adding,
2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 30
⇒ x1 + x2 + x3 = 15
Solve for x1, x2 and x3 to get
AD = 7 cm, BE = 5 cm, CF = 3 cm

32. Two pipes running together can fill a cistern in 3 hours. If one pipe takes 3 hours more than the
13
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
⇒ x = 1 or x = 14
But present age cannot be 1 year.
Hence, Present age of Zeba is 14 years.

36. 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:

38. Mohan is an auto driver. His autorickshaw was too old and he had to spend a lot of money on repair
and maintenance every now and then. One day he got to know about the EV scheme of the
Government of India where he can not only get a good exchange bonus but also avail heavy
discounts on the purchase of an electric vehicle. So, he took a loan of 71,18,000 from a reputed
bank and purchased a new autorickshaw.
Mohan repays his total loan of 118000 rupees by paying every month starting with the first
instalment of 1000 rupees.

(i) If he increases the instalment by 100 rupees every month, then what amount will be paid by him
in the 30th instalment? [1]
(ii) If he increases the instalment by 100 rupees every month, then what amount of loan does he still
have to pay after 30th instalment? [2]
OR
(ii)If he increases the instalment by 200 rupees every month, then what amount would he pay in
40th instalment? [2]
(iii) If he increases the instalment by 100 rupees every month, then what amount will be paid by
him in the 100th instalment [1]
Ans: (i) Clearly, the amount of installment in the first month = Rs. 1000, which increases by Rs.
100 every month
therefore, installment amount in second month = Rs. 1100, third month = Rs. 1200, fourth month =
Rs. 1300 .....
which forms an AP, with first term, a = 1000 and common difference, d = 1100 - 1000 = 100
Now, amount paid in the 30th installment,
a30 = 1000 + (30 - 1)100 = 3900 [∵ an = a + (n - 1)d]
(ii) Amount paid in 30 instalments,
30
S30 = [2 x 1000 + (30 - 1)100] = 73500
2
Hence, remaining amount of loan that he has to pay = 118000 - 73500 = Rs. 44500
OR
If he increases the instalment by 200 rupees every month, amount would he pay in 40th instalment
Then a = 1000, d = 200 and n= 40
a40 = a + 39d
⇒ a40 = 1000 + 39(200)
⇒ a40 = 880
(iii) Here, a = 1000 and common difference, d = Rs. 100
Amount paid in the 100th instalments
a100 = 1000 + (100 - 1)100 = 10900 [∵ an = a + (n - 1)d]

(a) (-2, 4) (b) (2, -4) (c) (0, 0) (d) (-2, -4)
Ans: (c) (0, 0)
As per midpoint formula, we know;
x-coordinate of the midpoint = [2 + (-2)]/2 = 0/2 = 0
y-coordinate of the midpoint = [4 + (-4)]/2=0/2=0
Hence, (0, 0) is the midpoint of AB.

Ans: (c) 3, 420
Here, 12 = 22 × 3
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 1 -

21 = 3 × 7
15 = 3 × 5
So, HCF = 3; LCM = 22 × 3 × 7 i.e., 420
7. If the sum of LCM and HCF of two numbers is 1260 and their LCM is 900 more than their HCF,
then the product of two numbers is
(a) 205400 (b) 203400 (c) 194400 (d) 198400
Ans: (c) 194400
Let the HCF of the numbers be x and their LCM be y.
It is given that the sum of the HCF and LCM is 1260, therefore
x + y = 1260 ....(i)
And, LCM is 900 more than HCF.
y = x + 900..... (ii)
Substituting (ii) in (i), we get x + x + 900 =1260
⇒ 2x + 900 = 1260
⇒ 2x = 1260 - 900 ⇒ 2x = 360 ⇒ x = 180
Substituting x = 180 in (1), we get:
y = 180 + 900 ⇒ y = 1080
We also know that the product the two numbers is equal to the product of their LCM and HCF
Thus, product of the numbers = 1080(180) = 194400

the measure of AB is
(a) 37 cm (b) 16cm (c) 30 cm (d) 39 cm

Ans: (c) 30 cm
∵ Tangent is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
∠OQA = ∠OPA = 90° and OQ = OP [Radii]
∴ OQAP is a square.

⇒ AP = 14cm
Now, CR = CS = 23 cm [Tangents from an external point to a circle are equal]
∴ BS = 39 - 23 = 16cm
And BS = BP = 16 cm [Tangents from an external point to a circle are equal]
Now, AB = AP + BP = 14 + 16 = 30cm

24. Find the value of p if the pair of equations 2x + 3y – 5 = 0 and px – 6y – 8 = 0 has a unique
solution.
Ans: Given, pair of linear equations is 2x + 3y – 5 = 0 and px – 6y – 8 = 0
On comparing with ax + by + c = 0 we get
Here, a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = – 5;
And a2 = p, b2 = – 6, c2 = – 8;
a1 /a2 = 2/p, b1 /b2 = – 3/6 = – ½, c1 /c2 = 5/8
Since, the pair of linear equations has a unique solution,
∴ a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2
⇒ 2/p ≠ – ½
⇒p≠–4
Hence, the pair of linear equations has a unique solution for all values of p except – 4.

8=2×2×2
11 = 11 × 1
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
∴ LCM of 7, 8, 11, 12 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 × 11 = 1848
∴ Bells will toll together after every 1848 sec.

3  3600
∴ In next 3 hrs, number of times the bells will toll together = = 5.84 = 5 times.
1848

Given that √3 is irrational, prove that (2 + 5√3) is an irrational number.
Ans: Let 2 + 5√3 be a rational number such that
2 + 5√3 = a, where a is a non-zero rational number.
a 2
5 3  a 2  3 
5
a2
Since 5 and 2 are integers and a is a rational number, therefore is a rational number
5
⇒ √3 is a rational number which contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number.
Therefore, our assumption is wrong.
Hence 2 + 5√3 is an irrational number
27. Find the ratio in which the line 2x + y – 4 = 0 divides the line segment joining the points A (2, –
2) and B (3, 7)
Ans: Let P(x, y) be the point on the line 2x + y – 4 = 0 dividing the line segment joining the
points A(2, –2) and B(3, 7) in the ratio k : 1.
 3k  2 7 k  2 
∴ The coordinate of P are  , 
 k  1 k 1 
Since, point (x, y) lies on the line 2x + y = 4.
 3k  2   7 k  2  6k  4  7k  2
 2  4  4
 k 1   k 1  k 1
⇒ 13k + 2 = 4k + 4 ⇒ 9k = 2 ⇒ k = 2/9
Thus, required ratio is 2 : 9.
28. In the given figure, PA and PB are the tangent segments to a circle with centre O. Show that the
points A, O, B and P are concyclic.
Ans: Here, OA = OB
And OA ⊥ AP, OB ⊥ BP (tangent ⊥ radius)
∴ ∠OAP = 90°,
∠OBP = 90°
∴ ∠OAP + ∠OBP = 90° + 90° = 180°
∴ ∠AOB + ∠APB = 180°
(Since, ∠AOB + ∠OAP + ∠OBP + ∠APB = 360°)
Thus, sum of opposite angle of a quadrilateral is 180°.
Hence, A, O, B and P are concyclic.
OR
In the given figure, ABC is a triangle in which ∠B = 90°, BC = 48 cm and AB = 14 cm. A circle
is inscribed in the triangle, whose centre is O. Find radius r of in-circle.

Ans: In ∆ABC, AC 2  AB 2  BC 2  (14) 2  (48)2  50 cm
∠OQB = 90°⇒ OPBQ is a square ⇒ BQ = r
⇒ QA = 14 - r = AR (tangents from a external point are equal in length)
Again PB = r ⇒ PC = 48 - r
⇒ RC = 48 - r (tangents from a external point are equal in length)
⇒ AR + RC = AC
⇒ 14 - r + 48 - r = 50
⇒ r = 6cm.
29. 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
30. If a, b are the zeroes of the polynomial 2x2 – 5x + 7, then find a polynomial whose zeroes are 2a
+ 3b, 3a + 2b
Ans: Since a, b are the zeroes of 2x2 – 5x + 7
(5) 5 7
∴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.
2
Hence the required polynomial is 2 x 2  25 x  82 .

33. A train, travelling at a uniform speed for 360 km, would have taken 48 minutes less to travel the
same distance if its speed were 5 km/h more. Find the original speed of the train.
Ans: Let original speed of train = x km/h
We know, Time = distance/speed
According to the question, we have Time taken by train = 360/x hour
And, Time taken by train its speed increase 5 km/h = 360/(x + 5)
It is given that,
Time taken by train in first – time taken by train in 2nd case = 48 min = 48/60 hour

⇒ x² + 5x – 2250 = 0 ⇒ x² + 50x – 45x – 2250 = 0
⇒ x(x + 50) – 45(x + 50) = 0 ⇒ (x + 50)(x – 45) = 0

⇒ x = -50, 45
But x ≠ -50 because speed cannot be negative
So, x = 45 km/h
Hence, original speed of train = 45 km/h

Two water taps together can fill a tank in 6 hours. The tap of larger diameter takes 9 hours less
than the smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can separately fill
the tank.
Ans: Let the time taken by the smaller tap to fill the tank = x hours and
time taken by larger tap = x – 9
1 1
In 1 hour, the smaller tap will fill of tank and the larger tap will fill of tank.
x x 9

In 1 hour both the tank will fill the tank = 

According to the question,      2 
x x 9 6 x( x  9) 6 x  9x 6
Solving by cross multiplication, 6(2x − 9) = x2 – 9x
⇒ 12x − 54 = x2 − 9x ⇒ x2 − 9x − 12x + 54 = 0 ⇒ x2 −21x + 54 = 0
⇒ x2−18x−3x+54=0
⇒ x(x − 18) − 3(x − 18)=0
⇒ (x − 18)(x − 3) = 0
⇒ x = 18, x = 3
Neglecting x = 3 as x – 9 can’t negative, therefore x = 18
If we take x = 18
Smaller tap = (x) = 18 hrs
Larger tap = (x – 9) = 18 – 9 = 9hrs
Hence, the time taken by the smaller tap to fill the tank = 18 hrs & the time taken by the larger
tap to fill the tank = 9 hrs
34. 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]
2
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.

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

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

36. Mayank a student of class 7th loves watching and playing with birds of different kinds. One day
he had an idea in his mind to make a bird-bath on his garden. His brother who is studying in class
10th helped him to choose the material and shape of the birdbath. They made it in the shape of a
cylinder with a hemispherical depression at one end as shown in the Figure below. They opted for
the height of the hollow cylinder as 1.45 m and its radius is 30 cm. The cost of material used for
making bird bath is Rs. 40 per square meter.
(i) Find the curved surface area of the hemisphere. (Take π = 3.14)
(ii) Find the total surface area of the bird-bath. (Take π = 22/7)
(iii) What is total cost for making the bird bath?
OR
(iii) Mayank and his brother thought of increasing the radius of hemisphere to 35 cm with same
material so that birds get more space, then what is the new height of cylinder?
Ans: (i) Let r be the common radius of the cylinder and hemisphere and h be the height of the
hollow cylinder.
Then, r = 30 cm and h = 1.45 m = 145 cm.
Curved surface area of the hemisphere = 2πr2
=2 x 3.14 x 302 = 0.56 m2
(ii) Let S be the total surface area of the birdbath.
S = Curved surface area of the cylinder + Curved surface area of the hemisphere
⇒ S = 2πrh+ 2πr2 = 2πr(h + r)
22
⇒S=2x x 30(145 + 30) = 33000 cm2 = 3.3 m2

37. Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built
between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry. The

bridge is 800 feet (240 m) in length and consists of two bridge towers connected at the upper
level by two horizontal walkways, and a central pair of bascules that can open to allow shipping.
In this bridge, two towers of equal heights are standing opposite each other on either side of the
road, which is 80 m wide. During summer holidays, Neeta visited the tower bridge. She stood at
some point on the road between these towers. From that point between the towers on the road, the
angles of elevation of the top of the towers was 60° and 30° respectively.
(i) Find the distances of the point from the base of the towers where Neeta was standing while
measuring the height. [2]
(ii) Neeta used some applications of trigonometry she learned in her class to find the height of the
towers without actually measuring them. What would be the height of the towers she would have
calculated? [2]
OR
(ii) Find the distance between Neeta and top of tower AB? Also, Find the distance between Neeta
and top tower CD? [2]
Ans: (i) Suppose AB and CD are the two towers of equal height h m. BC be the 80 m wide road.
P is any point on the road. Let CP be x m, therefore BP = (80 - x).
Also, ∠APB = 60° and ∠DPC = 30°

38. 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.
9 9
In this case, two cars meet in hours. Distance travelled by car X in hours

⇒ 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

26. A part of monthly hostel charges in a college is fixed and the remaining depends on the number
of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student ‘A’ takes food for 22 days, he has to
pay Rs. 1380 as hostel charges; whereas a student ‘B’, who takes food for 28 days, pays Rs.
1680 as hostel charges. Find the fixed charges and the cost of food per day.
Ans: Let the fixed hostel charges be Rs. x and the cost of food per day be Rs. y.
According to the question, we get
x + 22y = 1380 ...(i)
and x + 28y = 1680 ...(ii)
6y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 ÷ 6 = 50
Putting y = 50 in (i), we get
x + 22(50) = 1380 ⇒ x + 1100 = 1380 ⇒ x = 280
∴ Fixed hostel charges = Rs. 280 and cost of the food per day = Rs. 50.

Meena went to a bank to withdraw Rs 2,000. She asked the cashier to give her Rs. 50 and Rs.
100 notes only. Meena got 25 notes in all. How many notes of Rs. 50 and Rs. 100 she received?
Ans: Let Meena has received x no. of Rs. 50 notes and y no. of Rs. 100 notes.
So, 50x + 100y = 2000 ... (i)
x + y = 25 ... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get y = 15
Putting y = 15 in equation (ii), we get
x + 15 = 25
⇒ x = 10
Meena has received 10 pieces of Rs. 50 notes and 15 pieces of Rs. 100 notes.
27. Prove that √5 is an irrational number.

p
Ans: Let 5 is a rational number then we have 5 , where p and q are co-primes.
q

 p  5q
Squaring both sides, we get p 2  5q 2
 p2 is divisible by 5  p is also divisible by 5
So, assume p = 5m where m is any integer.
Squaring both sides, we get p2 = 25m2
But p 2  5q 2
Therefore, 5q2 = 25m2  q2 = 5m2
 q2 is divisible by 5  q is also divisible by 5
From above we conclude that p and q have one common factor i.e. 5 which contradicts that p
and q are co-primes.
Hence, 5 is an irrational number.
28. What number should be added to the polynomial x2 – 5x + 4 so that 3 is the zero of the
polynomial?
Ans: Let k be the number to be added to the given polynomial.
Then the polynomial becomes x2 – 5x + (4 + k)
As 3 is the zero of this polynomial, we get (3)2 – 5(3) + (4 + k) = 0
⇒ (4 + k) = 15 – 9 ⇒ 4 + k = 6 ⇒ k = 2
Thus, 2 is to be added to the given polynomial.

If cos θ + sin θ = √2 cos θ, show that cos θ – sin θ = √2 sin θ.
Ans: Given, cos θ + sin θ = √2 cos θ
Squaring both sides, we get
(cos θ + sin θ)2 = (√2 cos θ)2
⇒ cos2θ + sin2θ + 2sin θ cos θ
⇒ 2sin θ cos θ = cos2θ – sin2θ
⇒ 2sin θ cos θ = (cos θ – sin θ)(cos θ + sin θ)
⇒ 2sin θ cos θ = (cos θ – sin θ) (√2 cos θ)
⇒ √2 sin θ = cos θ – sin θ ⇒ cos θ – sin θ = √2 sin θ
30. All the black face cards are removed from a pack of 52 playing cards. The reaming cards are
well shuffled and then a card is drawn at random. Find the probability of getting (i) face card (ii)
red card (iii) black card.
Ans: When all the black face cards are removed,
Remaining number of cards = 52 – 6 = 46
(i) Number of face cards in the remaining deck = 6
∴ P(getting a face card) = 6/46 = 3/23
(ii) Number of red cards in the remaining deck = 26

∴ P (getting a red card) = 26/46 = 13/23
(iii) Number of black cards in the remaining deck = 20
∴ P (getting a black card) = 20/46 = 10/23
31. 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)
Consider ΔAOP in which OA ⊥ AP and OP is the hypotenuse.
OA r 1
In ∆AOP, sin OPA     sin 300
OP 2r 2
 OPA  300
 APB  2OPA  600 (Centre lies on the bisector of the angle formed between two
tangents)
Now, PA = PB (Tangents from P)
⇒ ∠PAB = ∠PBA (∠s opposite to equal sides)
Using ∠APB and angle sum property of triangle, we have
∠PAB = ∠PBA = ∠APB
⇒∆APB is an equilateral triangle.

32. Some students planned a picnic. The total budget for food was Rs. 2,000. But 5 students failed
to attend the picnic and thus the cost of food for each member increased by Rs. 20. How many
students attended the picnic and how much did each student pay for the food?
Ans: Case I. Let number of students = x
and cost of food for each member = Rs. y
Then x × y = 2,000 ...(i)
Case II. New number of students = x – 5
New cost of food for each member = Rs. (y + 20)
Then (x – 5)(y + 20) = 2,000
⇒ xy + 20x – 5y – 100 = 2,000 ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = –20, 25
x = –20 is rejected because number of students can’t be negative.
So, x = 25 ⇒ y = 80
Number of students = 25
Cost of food for each student = Rs. 80.

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?
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 ⇒ x = 1 or x = 14
But present age cannot be 1 year.
Hence, Present age of Zeba is 14 years.

26. A part of monthly hostel charges in a college is fixed and the remaining depends on the number
of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student ‘A’ takes food for 22 days, he has to
pay Rs. 1380 as hostel charges; whereas a student ‘B’, who takes food for 28 days, pays Rs.
1680 as hostel charges. Find the fixed charges and the cost of food per day.
Ans: Let the fixed hostel charges be Rs. x and the cost of food per day be Rs. y.
According to the question, we get
x + 22y = 1380 ...(i)
and x + 28y = 1680 ...(ii)
6y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 ÷ 6 = 50
Putting y = 50 in (i), we get
x + 22(50) = 1380 ⇒ x + 1100 = 1380 ⇒ x = 280
∴ Fixed hostel charges = Rs. 280 and cost of the food per day = Rs. 50.

The ratio of income of two persons is 9 : 7 and the ratio of their expenditure is 4 : 3, if each of
them manage to save Rs. 2000/month. Find their monthly incomes.
Ans: Let the income of first person be 9x and the income of second person be 7x. Further, let
the expenditures of first and second persons be 4y and 3y respectively. Then, Saving of the first
person = 9x – 4y
Saving of the second person = 7x – 3y
According to question,
9x – 4y = 2000 or 9x – 4y – 2000 = 0 ...(i)
and 7x – 3y = 2000 or 7x – 3y – 2000 = 0 ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 2000 and y = 4000
Thus, monthly income of first person = 9 × 2000 = Rs. 18000
Monthly income of second person = 7 × 4000 = Rs. 28000

angle at the center
Ans: Given: XY and X'Y' are two parallel tangents to the circle wth centre O and AB is the
tangent at the point C, which intersects XY at A and X'Y' at B.
In ΔOAP and ΔOAC

AP = AC ( Tangents from to same point A)
PO = OC ( Radii of the same circle)
OA = OA ( Common side)
so, ΔOAP = ΔOAC (SSS congruence criterion)
∴ ∠AOP =∠AOC = ∠1 (CPCT)
Similarly, ∠BOQ =∠BOC = ∠2
Now, POQ is a diameter of the circle.
Hence, it is a straight line.
∴ ∠1 + ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠2 = 180°
2(∠1 + ∠2) = 180°
∴ ∠1 + ∠2 = 90°
∴ ∠AOB = 90°.

the circle

In ΔOAP and ΔOAS
∴ ∠POA=∠AOS (CPCT)
⇒ ∠1=∠8
Similarly, ∠2=∠3, ∠4=∠5 and ∠6=∠7
∠1+∠2 +∠3+∠4+∠5+∠6+∠7+∠8 = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1 +∠8) +(∠2 +∠3) + (∠4 +∠5) + (∠6 +∠7) = 360⁰
⇒ 2(∠1) + 2(∠2) + 2(∠5) + 2(∠6) = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1) + (∠2) + (∠5) + (∠6) = 180⁰
∴ ∠AOD + ∠COD=180⁰

On the basis of above information, answer the following questions.

(i) If she puts a total of 120 pairs of shoes, then find the number of rows required.
(ii) What is the difference of pairs of shoes in 17th row and 10th row.
Ans: Number of pairs of shoes in 1st, 2nd, 3rd row, ... are 3, 5, 7, ...
So, it forms an A.P. with first term a = 3, d = 5 – 3 = 2
(i) Let n be the number of rows required.
∴ Sn = 120 ⇒ (n/2) [2(3) + (n − 1)2] = 120
⇒ n2 + 2n – 120 = 0 ⇒ n2 + 12n – 10n – 120 = 0
⇒ (n + 12) (n – 10) = 0 ⇒ n = 10

So, 10 rows required to put 120 pairs.
(ii) No. of pairs in 17th row = a17 = 3 + 16(2) = 35
No. of pairs in 10th row = a10 = 3 + 9(2) = 21
∴ Required difference = 35 – 21 = 14

take a position at a particular place. There are two reasons to set a cricket field—to take wickets
and to stop runs being scored.
The following graph shows the position of players during a cricket match.
(i) Find the coordinate of the point on y-axis which are equidistant from the points representing
the players at Cover P(2, –5) and Mid-wicket Q(–2, 9)
(ii) Find the ratio in which x-axis divides the line segment joining the points Extra Cover S(3, –
3) and Fine Leg (–2, 7).

Ans: (i) Let A (0, y) be any point on the y-axis.
Since A (0, y) is equidistant from P (2, –5) and Q (–2, 9)
So AP = AQ ⇒ AP2 = AQ2
⇒ (2)2 + (y + 5)2 = (2)2 + (y – 9)2 ⇒ y2 + 10 y + 25 = y2 – 18y + 81
⇒ 28y = 81 – 25 ⇒ 28y = 56
⇒ y = 28/56 = 2
So, the point is (0, 2)
(ii) Let point P(x, 0) divides the line segment joining the points A and B in the ratio k : 1
Hence, the point P divides the line segment in the ratio 3 : 7.

∠OAB is
(a) 30° (b) 60° (c) 90° (d) 15°

Ans: (a) 30°
PA = PB ( Tangents drawn from external point are equal)
⇒ ∠ABP = ∠BAP = x ( Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
In ∆APB, 60° + x + x = 180°
⇒ 2x = 120° ⇒ x = 60°
Now, ∠OAP = 90° (∵ Tangent is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact)

24. A circle is inscribed in a ΔABC having AB= 10cm, BC = 12cm and CA = 8cm and touching
these sides at D, E, F respectively. Find the lengths of AD, BE and CF
Ans: Let AD = AF = x cm,

BD = BE = y cm
and CE = CF = z cm
Now, x + y = AB = 10 cm
y + z = BC = 12 cm
z + x = CA = 8 cm
Adding all we get 2(x+ y +z) = 30 ⇒ x + y + z = 15
Subtracting, we get z = 5 cm, x = 3 cm and y = 7 cm
Hence, AD = 3 cm, BE = 7 cm and CF = 5 cm.
25. The length of the minute hand of a clock is 6cm. Find the area swept by it when it moves from

26. A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been 6 km/h faster,
it would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the train were slower by 6

km/hr; it would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the length of the
journey.
Ans: Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr and let the actual time taken be y hours.
Distance covered is xy km If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced
by 4 hours i.e., when speed is (x+6)km/hr, time of journey is (y−4) hours.
∴ Distance covered = (x + 6)(y − 4)
⇒ xy = (x + 6)(y − 4) ⇒ −4x + 6y − 24 = 0 ⇒ −2x + 3y −12 = 0 ………….(i)
Similarly xy = (x − 6)(y + 6) ⇒ 6x − 6y − 36 = 0 ⇒ x − y − 6 = 0 …………(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get x=30 and y=24
Putting the values of x and y in equation (i), we obtain
Distance = (30 × 24)km =720km.
Hence, the length of the journey is 720km.

Anuj had some chocolates, and he divided them into two lots A and B. He sold the first lot at the
rate of ₹2 for 3 chocolates and the second lot at the rate of ₹1 per chocolate, and got a total of
₹400. If he had sold the first lot at the rate of ₹1 per chocolate, and the second lot at the rate of
₹4 for 5 chocolates, his total collection would have been ₹460. Find the total number of
chocolates he had.
Ans: Let the number of chocolates in lot A be x
And let the number of chocolates in lot B be y
∴ total number of chocolates =x+y
2
Price of 1 chocolate = ₹ 2/3 , so for x chocolates = x
3
and price of y chocolates at the rate of ₹ 1 per chocolate =y.
2
∴ by the given condition x + y = 400 ⇒ 2x + 3y = 1200 ..............(i)
3
4
Similarly, x + y = 460 ⇒ 5x + 4y = 2300 ........ (ii)
5
Solving (i) and (ii) we get x = 300 and y = 200
∴ x + y = 300 + 200 = 500
So, Anuj had 500 chocolates.

31. Prove that a parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus

Ans: We have ABCD, a parallelogram which circumscribes a circle (i.e., its sides touch the
circle) with centre O.
Since tangents to a circle from an external point are equal in length,
∴ AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS
Adding, we get
(AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC
But AB = CD [opposite sides of ABCD]
and BC = AD
∴ AB + CD = AD + BC ⇒ 2 AB = 2 BC
⇒ AB = BC
Similarly AB = DA and DA = CD
Thus, AB = BC = CD = AD
Hence ABCD is a rhombus.

Which on simplification gives: x2 – 200x − 240000 = 0
⇒ x2 – 600x + 400x −240000 = 0
⇒ x(x – 600) + 400( x – 600) = 0 ⇒ (x – 600)(x + 400) =0 ⇒ x = 600 or x = −400
But speed cannot be negative.
∴ The usual speed is 600 km/hr and
the scheduled duration of the flight is 600/600 =1hour

(iii) If there were 17 rows in the auditorium, how many seats will be there in the middle row?(1)
Ans: (i) Since each row is increasing by 10 seats, so it is an AP with first term a = 30, and
common difference d =10. So number of seats in 10th row = 10 = a + 9d
= 30 + 9 ×10 = 120
n n
(ii) Sn= ( 2a + (n – 1)d) ⇒ 1500 = ( 2 × 30 + (n-1)10)
2 2
2 2
⇒ 3000 = 50n + 10n ⇒ n + 5n – 300 = 0
⇒ n2 + 20n – 15n – 300 = 0 ⇒ (n + 20) (n – 15) =0
Rejecting the negative value, n = 15
OR
No. of seats already put up to the 10th row = S10
10
S10 = {2 × 30 + (10-1)10)} = 5(60 + 90) = 750
2
So, the number of seats still required to be put are 1500 – 750 = 750
(iii) If no. of rows =17
then the middle row is the 9th row
9= a + 8d = 30 + 80 = 110 seats

(iii) Let P (x,y) is equidistant from the Q(9,8) and S(17,8) then we have
PQ = PS ⇒ PQ2 = PS2
⇒ (x – 9)2 + (y – 8)2 = (x – 17)2 + (y – 8)2
⇒ (x – 9)2 = (x – 17)2
⇒ x2 – 18x + 81 = x2 – 34x + 289

26. Given that √3 is irrational, prove that (2 + 5√3) is an irrational number.

Ans: Let 2 + 5√3 be a rational number such that
2 + 5√3 = a, where a is a non-zero rational number.
a2
5 3  a2  3 
5
a2
Since 5 and 2 are integers and a is a rational number, therefore is a rational number

⇒ √3 is a rational number which contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number.
Hence 2 + 5√3 is an irrational number
27. Find the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + x – 2, and verify the relation between the coefficients and
the zeroes of the polynomial.
1
Ans: The polynomial can be rewritten as (6x2 + x − 12)
6
On factoring, 6x² + x – 12 = 6x² + 9x – 8x – 12
= 3x(2x + 3) - 4(2x + 3)
= (3x - 4)(2x + 3)
So, 1/6 (6x² + 6x - 12) = 0
(3x - 4)(2x + 3) = 0
3x - 4 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 4 ⇒ x = 4/3
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = -3 ⇒ x = -3/2
Therefore, the zeros of the polynomial are 4/3 and -3/2.
Sum of the roots:
LHS: + ꞵ =4/3 + (-3/2) = 8 - 9/6 = -1/6
RHS: -coefficient of x/coefficient of x² = -1/6
Product of the roots
LHS: ꞵ = (4/3)(-3/2) = -12/6 = -2
RHS: constant term/coefficient of x² = -12/6 = -2.
28. A number consists of two digits. Where the number is divided by the sum of its digits, the quotient
is 7. If 27 is subtracted from the number, the digits interchange their places, find the number.
Ans : Let digit at unit place be x, and at tenth place be y.
∴ Number = 10y + x
10 y  x
According to the question,  7 ⇒ 6x – 3y = 0
yx
⇒ 2x – y = 0 ...(i)
Again according to the question, (10y + x) – 27 = 10x + y
⇒ 9x – 9y = – 27 ⇒ x – y = – 3 ...(ii)
Solving for x and y, we get
x = 3 and y = 6
∴ Number is 63.
OR

Students of a class are made to stand in rows. If 4 students are extra in a row, there would be two
rows less. If 4 students are less in a row, there would be four more rows. Find the number of
students in the class.
Ans : Let number of students in a row be x and number of rows be y.
⇒ Total number of students = x . y
From condition 1 : (x + 4) (y – 2) = xy
⇒ xy – 2x + 4y – 8 = xy – 2x + 4y = 8 ...(i)
From condition 2 : (x – 4) (y + 4) = xy xy + 4x – 4y – 16 = xy
⇒ 4x – 4y = 16 ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get 2x = 24 ⇒ x = 12
Substituting in (i), we get y = 8.
∴ Total number of students = xy = 12 × 8 = 96.
29. Prove that : sin θ (1 + tan θ) + cos θ (1 + cot θ) = sec θ + cosec θ.

Ans: LHS = sin θ (1 + tan θ) + cos θ (1 + cot θ)

30. A circle is inscribed in a ∆ABC having sides 16 cm, 20 cm and 24 cm as shown in figure. Find AD,
BE and CF.
Ans: Since, tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
∴ AD = AF = x (say)
BD = BE = y (say)
CE = CF = z (say)
AB = x + y = 24 cm ...(i)
BC = y + z = 16 cm ...(ii)
AC = x + z = 20 cm ...(iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (i), we get
y – z = 4 ...(iv)
Adding (ii) and (iv), we get
2y = 20 ⇒ y = 10 cm
Substituting the value of y in (i) and (ii), we get
x = 14 cm, z = 6 cm
Hence, AD = 14 cm, BE = 10 cm and CF = 6 cm.
OR
In the figure XY and X'Y' are two parallel tangents to a circle with centre O and another tangent AB
with point of contact C interesting XY at A and X'Y' at B, prove that ∠AOB is a right angle.

∴ AP = AC

AP = AC
∴ ∠PAO = ∠CAO = ∠1
∠PAC = 2 ∠1 ...(1)
∴ ∠PAC + ∠CBQ = 180°
⇒ 2 ∠1 + 2 ∠2 = 180° [From (1) and (2)]
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°/2 = 90° ...(3)
⇒ 90° + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 180° − 90° ⇒ ∠AOB = 90°.

∴ Median class is "125−145." cf = 17 + x , l = 125 , f = 20 h = 20, N = 68
Median = l + ( )xh
⇒ 137 = 125 + ( ) x 20

A lighthouse is a tall tower with light near the top. These are often built on islands, coasts or on cliffs.
Lighthouses on water surface act as a navigational aid to the mariners and send warning to boats and ships
for dangers. Initially wood, coal would be used as illuminators. Gradually it was replaced by candles,
lanterns, electric lights. Nowadays they are run by machines and remote monitoring. Prongs Reef lighthouse
of Mumbai was constructed in 1874-75. It is approximately 40 meters high and its beam can be seen at a
distance of 30 kilometres. A ship and a boat are coming towards the lighthouse from opposite directions.
Angles of depression of flash light from the lighthouse to the boat and the ship are 300 and 600 respectively.

26. A man wished to give Rs. 12 to each person and found that he fell short of Rs. 6 when he wanted to
give to all the persons present. He, therefore, distributed Rs. 9 to each person and found that Rs. 9
were left over. How much money did he have and how many persons were there?
Ans. Let, number of persons = x

Money share per person = y
Therefore, total money = Rs. xy
According to the question, 12 × x = xy + 6 ⇒ 12x – 6 = xy ...(i)
and 9x = xy – 9
9x + 9 = xy ...(ii)
Equating (i) and (ii), we get
12x – 6 = 9x + 9 ⇒ 3x = 15
Put the value of x in equation (i). Then
12 × 5 – 6 = x × y ⇒ xy = 54
So, he have Rs. 54 and there were 5 persons.

A father’s age is three times the sum of the ages of his children. After 5 years, his age will be two
times the sum of their ages. Find the present age of the father.
Ans. Let the sum of the ages of two children be 'x' years and father's age be 'y' years.
According to the given condition: y = 3x
or y – 3x = 0 ...(i)
After 5 years, Father’s age = (y + 5) years
Sum of the ages of children = (x + 5 + 5) years.
Then, y + 5 = 2(x + 10)
or y – 2x – 15 = 0 ...(ii)
On subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get x = 15
If we put the value of x in equation (i), we get
y – 3 × 15 = 0
⇒ y = 45
Hence, the present age of the father is 45 years.

Since p, q, 5 and 2 are integers and q ≠ 0,
RHS of equation (i) is rational.
But LHS of (i) is √3 which is irrational. This is not possible.
This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 5 + 2√3 is rational

diagram of their seating position marked Aditya as A, Ritesh as B and Damodar as C.
(i) What is the distance between A and B ? [1]

(ii) What is the distance between B and C ? [1]
(iii) A point D lies on the line segment between points A and B such that AD :DB = 4 : 3 . What are
the the coordinates of point D ? [2]
OR
(iii) If the point P(k, 0) divides the line segment joining the points A(2, –2) and B(–7, 4) in the ratio
1 : 2, then find the value of k [2]
Ans:
(i) It may be seen easily from figure that coordinates of point A are (- 2, 2).
AB2 = (− 2 + 1)2 + (2 + 2)2 = 1 + 42 = 17
⇒ AB = √17
(ii) It may be seen easily from figure that coordinates of point C are (3, 0).
BC2 = (− 1 − 3)2 + (− 2 − 0)2 = 42 + 4 = 20
⇒ BC = 2√5
