Section C

11. There were 35 students in a hostel. Due to the admission of 7 new students, the expenses
of the mass were increased by ` 42 per day, while the average expenditure per head
diminished by ` 1. What was the original expenditure of the mass?

12. The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and
that of B and C be 43 kg, then find the weight of B.

13. ABC is a triangle, right angled at C. A line through the mid-point M of hypotenuse AB and

21. In ∆ABC, the perpendicular from vertices A and B on their opposite sides meet (when
produced) the circumcircle of the triangle at points D and E, respectively. Prove that
arc CD ≅ arc CE.

22. In the given figure, AB is a diameter of the circle with centre O. DO is parallel to CB and
