Section – A
(Section A consists of 20 questions of 1 mark each.)
Question 1.
Let a and b be two positive integers such that a = p3q4 and b = p2q3 , where p and q are prime numbers. If HCF(a, b) = pmqn and LCM(a, b) = pr(f, then (m + n)(r + s) = (1)
(a) 15
(b) 30
(c) 35
(d) 72 1
Answer:
(c) 35
Explanation:
Given,
a = p3q4
and b = p2q3
HCF of (ab) = p2q3
pmqn = p2q3 .
⇒ m = 2
⇒ n = 3
LCM of (a, b) = p3q4
prqs = p3q4
⇒ r= 3
⇒ s = 4
(m + n)(r + s) = (2 + 3)(3 + 4)
⇒ 5 × 7
= 35
Question 2.
Let p be a prime number. The quadratic equation having its roots as factors of p is: (1)
(a) x2 – px + p = 0
(b) x2 – (p + 1)x + p = 0
(c) x2 + (p + 1)x + p = 0
(d) x2 – px + p + 1 = 0
Answer:
(b) x2 – (p + 1)x + p = 0
Explanation:
If p is prime number, then it’s factors are 1 and p itself.
And it’s roots, a and p are it’s factors
Hence α = 1, β = p
x = α or β
0 = (x – α)(x – β)
Which means = (x – 1)(x – p)
= x2+ (-1- p)x + (-1 × -p)
⇒ x2 – (p + 1)x + p is the required quadratic equation
Question 3.
If a and p are the zeros of a polynomial f(x) = px2 – 2x + 3p and α + p = αp, then p is (1)
(a) \(\frac{-2}{3}\)
(b) \(\frac{2}{3}\)
(c) \(\frac{1}{3}\)
(d) \(\frac{-1}{3}\)
Answer:
(b) \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Explanation:
Given, f(x) = px2 – 2x + 3p
Compare it with standard equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = p, b = -2, c = 3p
Sum of zeros = α + β = –\(\frac{b}{3}\)
α + β = \(\frac{2}{p}\)
Product of zeros = αβ = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
αβ = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
αβ = \(\frac{3p}{p}\) = 3
It is given that, α + β = αβ
\(\frac{2}{p}\) = 3
p = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Question 4.
If the system of equations 3x + y = 1 and (2k – 1)x + (k – 1)y = 2k + 1 is inconsistent, then k = (1)
(a) -1
(b) 0
(c) 1
(d) 2
Answer:
(d) 2
Explanation:
Given,
3x + y = 1 ……..(i)
(2k – 1)x + (k – 1)y = 2k + 1 …….(ii)
Both the equation are in the from of ax + by + c = 0
a1 = 3, b1 = 1, c1 = 1
a2 = (2k – 1), b2 = (k – 1), c2 = 2k + 1
The system of equation is inconsistent, if
\(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}\)
∴ \(\frac{3}{2k – 1}=\frac{1}{k – 1} \neq \frac{1}{2k + 1}\)
\(\frac{3}{2k – 1}=\frac{1}{k – 1}\)
3k – 3 = 2k – 1
k = 2
Caution: While comparing the given equations with standard equation, we should also consider the signs of constant
Question 5.
If the vertices of a parallelogram PQRS taken in order are P(3, 4), Q(-2, 3) and R(-3, -2), then the coordinates of its fourth vertex S are: (1)
(a) (-2, -1)
(b) (-2, -3)
(c) (2, -1)
(d) (1,2)
Answer:
(c) (2, -1)
Explanation:
Since, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Let the coordinate of S is (x, y)
∴ Coordinates of the mid point of PR = coordinates of the mid point of QS
⇒ \(\left(\frac{3+(-3)}{2}, \frac{4-2}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{-2+x}{2}, \frac{3+y}{2}\right)\)
(0, 1) = \(\left(\frac{x-2}{2}, \frac{3+y}{2}\right)\)
\(\frac{x-2}{2}\) = 0 and \(\frac{3+y}{2}\) = 1
⇒ x – 2 = 0
x= 2
and 3 + y = 2
y = -1
Hence, the fourth vertex of the parallelogram is (2, -1)
Question 6.
∆ABC – ∆PQR. If AM and PN are altitudes of ∆ABC and ∆PQR respectively and AB2: PQ2 = 4: 9, then AM : PN = (1)
(a) 3 : 2
(b) 16 : 81
(c) 4: 9
(d) 2 : 3
Answer:
(d) 2 : 3
Explanation:
We Know that the ratio the sides of the two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Therefore, (1)
\(\frac{AB}{PN}\) = \(\frac{AB}{PQ}\)
\(\frac{AB}{PN}\) = \(\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}\)
\(\frac{AB}{PN}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Find AB: PQ,
So that,
AM : PN = 2 : 3
Hence, the ratio of AM to PN is 2 : 3.
Question 7.
If x tan 60°cos 60° = sin60°cot 60°, then x = (1)
(a) cos 30°
(b) tan 30°
(c) sin 30°
(d) cot 30°
Answer:
(b) tan30°
Explanation:
x tan 60° cos 60° = sin 60° cot 60°
\((x) \times(\sqrt{3}) \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
\(\frac{\sqrt{3} x}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = tan30°
Question 8.
If sin θ + cos θ = \(\sqrt{2}\) , then tan θ + cot θ = (1)
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 4
Answer:
(b) 2
Explanation:
Given, sin θ + cos θ = \(\sqrt{2}\)
On squaring both the sides, we get
From (i) and (ii) we get,
tan θ + cot θ = 2
Question 9.
In the given figure, DE || BC, AE = a units, EC = b units, DE = x unit and BC = y units. Which of the following is true? (1)
(a) \(x=\frac{a + b}{ay}\)
(b) \(y=\frac{ax}{a+b}\)
(c) \(x=\frac{ay}{a+b}\)
(d) \(\frac{x}{y}=\frac{a}{b}\)
Answer:
(c) \(x=\frac{ay}{a+b}\)
Explanation:
Given AE = a, EC = b, DE = x and BC = y.
As DE || BC
∠ADE = ∠ABC
∠AED = ∠ACB
So by AAA property,
∆ADE ~ ∆ABC
\(\frac{DE}{BC} = \frac{AE}{AC}\)
\(\frac{x}{y} = \frac{a}{a+b}\)
\(x = \frac{ay}{a+b}\)
Question 10.
ABCD is a trapezium with AD || BC and AD = 4cm. If the diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O such that = \(\frac{AO}{OC} = \frac{DO}{OB} = \frac{1}{2}\) then BC = (1)
(a) 6 cm
(b) 7 cm
(c) 8 cm
(d) 9 cm
Answer:
(c) 8 cm
Explanation:
Given ABCD is a trapezium in which BC || AD and AD = 4 cm.
Also, the diagonals AC and BD intersect at O such that \(\frac{AO}{OC} = \frac{DO}{OB} = \frac{1}{2}\)
In ∆AOD and ∆COB,
∠OAD = ∠OCB [alternate angles]
∠ODA = ∠OBC [alternate angles]
∠AOD = ∠BOC [vertically opposite angles]
We know that AAA similarity criterion states that in two triangles, if corresponding angles are equal, then their corresponding sides are in the same ratio and hence the two triangles are similar.
∴ ∆AOD ~ ∆COB
We know that two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.
\(\frac{AO}{OC} = \frac{DO}{OB} = \frac{AD}{BC}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{AD}{BC}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{BC}\)
∴ BC = 8 cm
Question 11.
If two tangents inclined at an angle of 60° are drawn to a circle of radius 3 cm, then the length of each tangent is equal to (1)
(a) \(\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}\) cm
(b) 3 cm
(c) 6 cm
(d) \(3 \sqrt{3} \) cm
Answer:
(d) \(3 \sqrt{3} \) cm
Explanation:
Let P be an external point and a pair of tangents is drawn from point P and angle between these two tangents is 60°
Radius of the circle = 3 cm
Join OA and OP.
Also, OP is bisector line of ∠APC
∴ ∠APO = ∠CPO = 30°
OA ⊥ AP
Also, tangents at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
In right angled ∆OAP, we have
tan 30° = \(\frac{OA}{AP}\) = \(\frac{3}{AP}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{3}{AP}\)
⇒ AP = \(3 \sqrt{3} \)
AP =CP
= \(3 \sqrt{3} \) cm
[Tangents drawn from an external point are equal]
Hence, the length of each tangent is \(3 \sqrt{3} \) cm.
Caution: Remember that the point where tangent touches the circle is perpendicular to the radius.
Question 12.
The area of the circle that can be inscribed in a square of 6cm is: (1)
(a) 36π cm2
(b) 18π cm2
(c) 12π cm2
(d) 9π cm2
Answer:
(d) 9π cm2
Explanation:
Diameter of circle = side of square = 6 cm
Radius = \(\frac{6}{2}\)
Radius = 3 cm
Area of circle = πr2
π(3)2
= 9π
Therefore, the area of the circle is 9π square cm.
Question 13.
The sum of the length, breadth and height of a cuboid is \(6 \sqrt{3} \) cm and the length of its diagonal is \(2 \sqrt{3} \) cm. The total surface area Qf the cuboid is: (1)
(a) 48 cm2
(b) 72 cm2
(c) 96 cm2
(d) 108 cm2
Answer:
(c) 96 cm2
Explanation:
According to condition,
\(\sqrt{\left(l^2+b^2+h^2\right)}=2 \sqrt{3}\)
⇒ l2 + b2 + h2 = 12
Again, 1 + b + h = 6V3
⇒ (l + b + h)2 = 108
⇒ l2 + b2 + h2 + 2 (lb + bh + h[) = 108
⇒ 2 (lb + bh + hl)= 108
⇒ 2 (lb + bh + hl) = 96
∴ The total surface area of cuboid = 96 cm2
Question 14.
If the difference of Mode and Median of a data is 24, then the difference of median and mean is: (1)
(a) 8
(b) 12
(c) 24
(d) 36 1
Answer:
(b) 12
Explanation:
Since, Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
⇒ Mode = 2 Median + Median – 2 Mean
⇒ Mode – Median = 2 Median – 2 Mean
⇒ Mode – Median = 2 (Median – Mean)
Given, Difference of mode and median of a data is 24
24 = 2 (Median – Mean)
⇒ Median – Mean = 12
Question 15.
The number of revolutions made by a circular wheel of radius 0.25m in rolling a distance of 11km is:
(a) 2800
(b) 4000
(c) 5500
(d) 7000
Answer:
(d) 7000
Explanation:
Given radius = 0.25m.
Distance covered in 1 revolution = 2πr
= 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 0.25
= \(\frac{11}{7}\)
Given total distance = 11km = 11000m.
Then the number of revolutions = 11000 × \(\frac{11}{7}\)
= \(\frac{77000}{11}\)
= 7000
Therefore the number of revolutions = 7000.
Caution: Remember that circumference of a wheel is the distance covered by the wheel in one round.
Question 16.
For the following distributions, (1)
Class | Frequency |
0-5 | 10 |
5-10 | 15 |
10-15 | 12 |
15-20 | 20 |
20-25 | 9 |
the sum of the lower limits of the median and model class is:
(a) 15
(b) 25
(c) 30
(d) 35
Answer:
(b) 25
Explanation:
Class | Frequency | Cumulative Frequency |
0-5 | 10 | 10 |
5-10 | 15 | 25 |
10-15 | 12 | 37 |
15-20 | 20 | 57 |
20-25 | 9 | 66 |
Here N = 66
∴ \(\frac{N}{2}\) = 33, which lies in the interval 10 – 15.
So, the lower limit of the median class is 10. The highest frequency is 20, which lies in the interval 15 – 20.
Therefore, the lower limit of modal class is 15. So, the required sum is 10 + 15 = 25.
Question 17.
Two dice are rolled simultaneously. What is the probability that 6 will come up at least once? (1)
(a) \(\frac{1}{6}\)
(b) \(\frac{7}{36}\)
(c) \(\frac{11}{36}\)
(d) \(\frac{13}{36}\)
Answer:
(c) \(\frac{11}{36}\)
Explanation: Outcomes when 5 will come up at least once are:
(1,6), (2,6), (3,6), (4,6), (5,6), (6,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4) and (6,5)
Probability that 5 will come up at least once = \(\frac{11}{36}\)
Question 18.
If 5 tan β = 4, then \(\frac{5 \sin \beta-2 \cos \beta}{5 \sin \beta+2 \cos \beta}\) = (1)

Direction: In the question number 19 and 20, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R).
Choose the correct option as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A)
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Question 19.
Statement A (Assertion): If product of two numbers is 5780 and their HCF is 17, then their LCM is 340
Statement R (Reason): HCF is always a factor of LCM (1)
Answer:
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)
Explanation:
We know that,
HCF × LCM = Product of the numbers
⇒ 17 × LCM = 5780
⇒ LCM = \(\frac{5780}{17}\)
⇒ LCM = 340
The LCM of the two numbers = 340
Question 20.
Statement A (Assertion): If the co-ordinates of the mid-points of the sides AB and AC of ∆ABC are D(3, 5) and E(-3, -3) respectively, then BC = 20 units
Statement R (Reason): The line joining the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of it. (1)
Answer:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A)
Explanation:
M and N are the mid-point of AB and AC.
∴ MN || BC (mid-point theorem)
∴ In ∆AMN and ∆ABC
∠A = ∠A (common)
∠AMN = ∠ABC (corresponding angles)
∠ANM = ∠ACB (corresponding angles)
∴ ∆AMN ~ ∆ABC (AAA)
∴ \(\frac{AM}{AB} = \frac{MN}{BC} = \frac{AN}{NC} = \frac{1}{2}\)
∴ \(\frac{MN}{BC}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
BC = 2MN
∴ MN = \(\sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(-3-5)^2}\)
= \( \sqrt{36 + 64} \) = 10
∴ BC = 2 × 10 = 20

Answer:
Adding the two equations and dividing by 10,
we get: x + y = 10
Subtracting the two equations and dividing by -2,
we get: x – y =1
Solving these two new equations, we get.
x = \(\frac{11}{2}\)
y = \(\frac{9}{2}\)
Detailed Answer:
The given equations are:
49x + 51y = 499 …(i)
51x + 49y = 501 …(ii)
On adding the equations, we get,
100x + 100y = 1000
Dividing by 100
⇒ x + y = 10 ….(iii)
On subtracting the equations, we get,
-2x + 2y = -2
Dividing by 2
⇒ -x + y = -1 …(iv)
Now, solving equation (iii) and equation (iv),
x + y = 10
-x + y = -1
On adding,
2y = 9
⇒ y = \(\frac{9}{2}\)
Substituting y = \(\frac{9}{2}\) in equation (iii)
⇒ x + \(\frac{9}{2}\) = 10
⇒ x = 10 – \(\frac{9}{2}\)
⇒ x = \(\frac{11}{2}\)
Therefore, the value of x is \(\frac{11}{2}\) and that of y is \(\frac{9}{2}\).
Caution: When we make the coefficients equal then check their signs carefully to decide whether to add or subtract the two equations.

Answer:
We know that, in 60 minutes, the tip of minute hand moves 360°
In 1 minute, it will move = \(\frac{360}{60}\) = 6°
∴ From 7 : 05 pm to 7: 40 pm i.e. 35 min, it will move through = 35 × 6° = 210°
∴ Area of swept by the minute hand in 35 min = Area of sector with sectorial angle 0 of 210° and radius of 6 cm
= \(\frac{210}{320}\) × π × 6²
= \(\frac{7}{12}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 6 × 6

Answer:
sin(A + B) = 1 = sin 90, so A + B = 90 ……. (i)
cos(A – B) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = cos 30,
so A – B= 30 …(ii)
From (i) & (ii) ∠A = 60°
And ∠B = 30°
Detailed Answer:
We have sin(A + B) = 1
(A + B) = sin-11
We know, sin-1 1 = 90°
A + B = 90° ….(i)
cos(A – B) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
A – B = cos-1 \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
we know cos-1 \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = 30°
solve (i) and (ii)
A + B = 90°
A – B = 30°
add
2A = 120°
A = 60° and ∠B = 30°
OR
\(\frac{\cos \theta-\sin \theta}{\cos \theta+\sin \theta}=\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}}\)
Dividing the numerator and denominator of LHS by cos θ, we get

Question 26.
Given that \( \sqrt{3} \) is irrational, prove that 5 + \(2 \sqrt{3} \) is irrational. (3)
Total Marks | Breakdown (As per CBSE Marking Scheme) |
3m (SA-II) |
|
Answer:
Let us assume 5 + \(2 \sqrt{3} \) is rational, then it must be in the form of \(\frac{p}{q}\) where p and q are coprime
integers and q ≠ 0
i.e 5 + \(2 \sqrt{3} \) = \(\frac{p}{q}\)
So \( \sqrt{3} \) = \(\frac{p-5q}{2q}\) ….(i)
Since p, q, 5 and 2 are integers and q ≠ oR,
HS of equation (i) is rational. But LHS of (i) is \( \sqrt{3} \) which is irrational.
This is not possible. This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 5 + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)is rationaL So, 5+2\( \sqrt{3} \) is irrational.
Question 27.
If the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + px + q are double in value to the zeroes of the polynomial 2x2 – 5x – 3, then find the values of p and q. (3)

Answer:
Let a and p be the zeros of the polynomial 2x2 – 5x – 3
Then α + β = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
And αβ = \(– \frac{3}{2}\)
Let 2α and 2β be the zeroes x2 + px + q
Then 2α + 2β = -p
2(α + β) = -p
2 × \(\frac{5}{2}\) = -p
So P = -5
And 2α × 2β = q
4αβ = q
So q = 4 × \(– \frac{3}{2}\)
= -6

Answer:
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
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 = 720 km.
Hence, the length of the journey is 720 km.

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
Price of 1 chocolate = = ₹ \(\frac{2}{3}\), so for x chocolates = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x and price of y chocolates at the rate of ₹ 1 per chocolate = y.
∴ by the given condition \(\frac{2}{3}\)x + y = 400
⇒ 2x + 3y = 1200
Similarly
x + \(\frac{4}{3}\) y = 460
⇒ 5x + 4y = 2300 …(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get
x =300 and y = 200
∴ x + y = 300 + 200 = 500
So, Anuj had 500 chocolates.

Answer:
Let ABCD be the rhombus circumscribing the circle with centre O, such that AB, BC, CD and DA touch the circle at points P, Q, R and S respectively.
We know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an exterior point are equal in length
∴ AP = AS ……..(i)
BP = BQ …(ii)
CR = CQ …(iii)
DR = DS …(iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) we get
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS (AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
AB + CD = AD + BC …(v)
Since AB = DC and AD = BC (opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
putting in (v) we get, 2AB = 2AD
or AB = AD.
∴ AB = BC = DC = AD
Since a parallelogram with equal adjacent sides is a rhombus, so ABCD is a rhombus
OR
Join OC
In ∆OPA and ∆OCA
OP = OC (radii of same circle)
PA = CA
(length of two tangents from an external point)
AO = AO (Common)
Therefore, ∆OPA ≅ ∆OCA
(By SSS congruency criterion)
Hence, ∠1 = ∠2 (CPCT)
Similarly
∠3 = ∠4
∠PAB + ∠QBA = 180°
(co interior angles are supplementary as XY || X’Y)
2∠2 + 2∠4 = 180°
∠2 + ∠4 = 90° …(1)
∠2 + ∠4 + ∠AOB = 180° (Angle sum property)
Using (i), we get, ∠AOB = 90°

Answer:
Let the time taken by larger pipe alone to fill the tank = x hours
Therefore, the time taken by the smaller pipe = x + 10 hours
Water filled by larger pipe running for 4 hours = \(\frac{4}{x}\) litres
Water filled by smaller pipe running for 9 hours = \(\frac{9}{x+10}\) litres
We know that, \(\frac{4}{x}\) + \(\frac{9}{x+10}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Which on simplification gives:
x2 – 16x – 80 = 0
x2 – 20x + 4x – 80 =0
x(x – 20) + 4(x – 20) = 0
(x + 4)(x – 20) = 0
x = -4, 20
x cannot be negative.
Thus, x = 20
x + 10 = 30
Larger pipe would alone fill the tank in 20 hours and smaller pipe would fill the tank alone in 30 hours.
OR
Let the usual speed of plane be x km/hr and the reduced speed of the plane be (x – 200) km/hr
Distance = 600 km [Given]
According to the question,
(time taken at reduced speed) – (Schedule time) = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours
\(\frac{600}{x-200}\) + \(\frac{600}{x}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
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 \(\frac{600}{600}\) = 1 hour

Answer:
For the Theorem :
Given, To prove, Construction and figure
Proof
Let ABCD be a trapezium DC || AB and EF is a line parallel to AB and hence to DC.
To prove : \(\frac{DE}{EA}\) = \(\frac{CF}{FB}\)
Construction : Join AC, meeting EF in G.
Proof: In ∆ABC, we have
GF || AB
\(\frac{CG}{GA}\) = \(\frac{CF}{FB}\) [By BPT] …(i)
In ∆ADC, we have
EG || DC (EF || AB & AB || DC)
\(\frac{DE}{EA}\) = \(\frac{CG}{GA}\) [By BPT] …(ii)
From (i) & (ii), we get,
\(\frac{DE}{EA}\) = \(\frac{CF}{FB}\)
Detailed Answer:
We are given a triangle ABC in which a line parallel to side BC intersects other two sides AB and AC at D and E respectively.
We need to prove that \(\frac{AD}{AE}\) = \(\frac{DB}{EC}\)
Let us join BE and CD and then draw DM ⊥ AC and EN ⊥ AB.
Now, area of ∆ADE (\(\frac{1}{2}\) base × height) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) AD × EN. area of AADE is denoted as ar(ADE).
So, ar(ADE) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) AD × EN
Note that ABDE and ADEC are on the same base DE and between the same base DE and between the same parallels BC and DE.
So, ar(BDE) = ar(DEC) …(iii)
Therefore, form (i), (ii) and (iii), we have:
\(\frac{AD}{DB}\) = \(\frac{AE}{EC}\)
Let ABCD be a trapezium with AB||DC
AD and BC are non-parallel sides.
Let, EF be a line parallel to AB, DC.
Join AC such that ∆ACD and ∆ACB are triangles and AC meets EF at G.
Apply Thales theorem on ∆ACD and ∆ACB Basic Proportionality Theorem: In a triangle, a line drawn parallel to one side to intersect the other sides distinct points divides two sides in same ratio.
In ∆ACD
Here, EG||DC. According to Basic Proportionality Theorem
\(\frac{AE}{ED}\) = \(\frac{AG}{GC}\) ……….(i)
In ∆ACB
Here, GF||AB. According to Basic Proportionality Theorem
\(\frac{EC}{BF}\) = \(\frac{AG}{GC}\)
⇒ \(\frac{BF}{FC}\) = \(\frac{AG}{GC}\)
Equating equation (i) and equation (ii)
\(\frac{AE}{ED}\) = \(\frac{BF}{FC}\)
Hence proved that a line drawn parallel to the parallel sides of a trapezium divides the non-parallel sides proportionally.

Answer:
Radius of the base of cylinder (r) = 2.8 m = Radius of the base of the cone (r)
Height of the cylinder (h) = 3.5 m
Height of the cone (H) = 2.1 m.
Slant height of conical part (l) = \( \sqrt{r^{2} + H^{2}} \)
= \( \sqrt{2.8^{2} + 2.1^{2}} \)
= \( \sqrt{7.84 + 4.41} \)
= \( \sqrt{12.25} \) = 3.5 m
Area of canvas used to make tent = CSA of cylinder + CSA of cone
2 × π × 2.8 × 3.5 + π × 2.8 × 3.5
= 61.6 + 30.8 = 92.4 m2
Cost of 1500 tents at 120 per sq.m = 1500 × 120 × 92.4 = 16,632,000
Share of each school to set up the tents \(\frac{16632000}{50}\)
= ₹ 332,640
OR
(A) SA for first new solid (S1):
6 × 7 × 7 + 2π × 3.52 – π × 3.52

SA for second new solid (S2):
6 × 7 × 7 + 2 π × 3.52 – π × 3.52
= 294 + 77 – 38.5 = 332.5 cm2
So S1 : S2 = 1 : 1
(B) Volume for first new solid (V1)
= 7 × 7 × 7 – \(\frac{2}{3}\) π × 3.53
= 343 – \(\frac{539}{6}\)

Volume for second new solid (V2)

76 + x + y = 100
x + y = 24
Median = \(l+\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f} \times h\)
Since, l = 500, h = 100, f = 20, cf = 36 + x and n = 100
Therefore, putting the value in the Median formula, we get; 525 = \(\frac{\frac{50-(36+x)}{20}} \times 100\)
so x = 9, y = 24 – x [from eq. (i)]
y = 24 – 9 = 15
Therefore, the value ofx = 9 and y = 15.

A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.
A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above design. To ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian plane. He used regular octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation pattern

So, BF = \( \sqrt{58} \) units
(B) W(-6, 2), X(-4, 0), 0(5, 9), P(3, 11)
Clearly WXOP is a rectangle
Point of intersection of diagonals of a rectangle is the mid point of the diagonals. So the required point is mid point of WO or XP

(C) A(-2, 2), G(-4, 7)
Let the point on y-axis be Z(0, y)
AZ2 = GZ2
(0 + 2)2 + (y – 2)2 = (0 + 4)2 + (y – 7)2
(2)2 + y2 + 4 – 4y = (4)2 + y2 + 49 – 14y
8 – 4y = 65 – 14y
10y = 57
So, y = 5.7

Answer:
(A) 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
= a10= a + 9d
= 30+ 9 × 10 = 120
(B) Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a+(n-1)d]
1500 = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2×30+(n-1)10]
3000 = 50n + 10n²
n2 + 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
S10 = \(\frac{10}{2}\)[2×30 + (10-1)10]
= 5(60 + 90) = 750
So, the number of seats still required to be put are 1500 – 750 = 750
(C) If no. of rows =17
then the middLe row is the 9th row
a8 = a + 8d
= 30 + 80
= 110 seats
Question 38.
We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how they actually reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through a given section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non- controlled airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is managed and regulated by using various concepts based on coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a point on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the angle of elevation changes to 30°. The height of the
plane remains constantly as 3000√2 m. Use the above information to answer the questions that follow:
