(vii) (b) parallelogram

 Explanation :

By mid-point theorem,

$$\text{PQ}||\text{AC}\\\qquad\text{PQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}\space…(i)\\\text{RS}||\text{AC}\\\text{RS}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}\space…\text{(ii)}\\\text{From equation (i) \text{and}\space \text{equation}\space (ii),\text{we get}}\\\text{PQ=RS}\\\text{PQ||RS}\\\therefore\text{One pair of opposite side are equal and parallel.}\\\text{Hence, PQRS is a parallelogram.}$$

(viii) (c) 40°

 Explanation :

In the adjoining figure,
∠OAD = ∠OCB (Alternate angles)

∠OCB = 30°
∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 70° + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180° – 70°
⇒ ∠BOC = 110°

In ΔBOC
∠OBC + ∠BOC + ∠OCB = 180°
⇒ ∠OBC + 110° + 30° = 180°
⇒ ∠OBC = 40°
⇒ ∠DBC = 40°

(ix) (b) 1 : 1

 Explanation :

We know,

Parallelograms on the same base and between the same parallel lines are equal in area (theorem).
Area of □ABCD = Area of □ABEF
Ratio = 1 : 1

(x) (b) False

 Explanation :

Given, AD is diameter. AB can never be equal to AD because diameter is the largest chord of circle.
Hence AD > AB.

Also, to make AB = AD, AD should pass through centre of circle.

(xi) (b) 16

 Explanation :

Mean of 45 numbers = 18
⇒ Sum of 45 numbers = 18 × 45 = 810
Mean of (75 – 45) numbers = 13
 Sum of 30 numbers = 13 × 30 = 390
Sum of 75 numbers = Sum of 45 numbers + Sum of 30 numbers.
Sum of 75 numbers = 810 + 390 = 1200

X=1200/75

=16

(xii) (b) 450 cm2
 Explanation :

BC = 19 cm

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔBCD =1 x 30 x 11/2+1 x30x19/2=450 cm2

(xiii) (b) 70°

 Explanation :

3 cot2 (x – 10°) = 1
⇒ cot2(x – 10°) = 1/3
⇒ cot(x – 10°) = 1/√3
We know, cot 60° = 1/√3
⇒ cot(x – 10°) = cot 60°
⇒ x – 10° = 60°
⇒ x = 70°

(xiv) (c) 10 √3 units

 Explanation :

Draw perpendiculars on AB from DC.

In DDXA,
sin 60° = DX /DA
⇒ √3/2 = DX /20
⇒ DX = 10√3
⇒ Distance between AB and DC is 10√3 uunniittss.

(xv) (c) Scalene triangle

 Explanation :

$$\text{Let,}\space A(8,3),B(0,9),C(14,10)\\\text{AB}=\sqrt{(0-8)^2+(9-3)^2}\\=\sqrt{64+36}=10\\\text{BC}=\sqrt{(14-0)^2+(10-9)^2}\\=\sqrt{196+1}=\sqrt{197}\\AC=\sqrt{(14-8)^2+(10-3)^2}\\=\sqrt{36+49}=\sqrt{85}\\\text{Since},AB\neq BC\neq AC.\\\Rarr\text{A, B, C are coordinates of scalene triangle.}$$

  • 5 – (3a2 – 2a) (6– 3a2 + 2a) = 5– x (6 – x) = 5 – 6x + x2
  • = 5 – 5x – x + x2
  • = 5(1 – x) – x (1 – x)
  • = (5 – x) (1 – x)
  • = (x – 5) (x – 1)
  • = (3a2 – 2a – 5) (3a2 – 2a – 1) [Put x = 3a2 – 2a]
  • = (3a2 – 5a + 3a – 5) (3a2 – 3a + a – 1)
  • = {a (3a – 5) + 1 (3a – 5)} {3a (a – 1) + 1 (a – 1)}

Answer 3.

  • A = P(1+(r/100 x 2))2n
  • ⇒ 4,576 = 4,400 (1+(8/100 x 2))2n
  • ⇒ 4,576 = 4,400()26/25)2n
  • ⇒ (26/25)2n=4,576/4,400
  • ⇒ (26/25)2n=26/25
  • ⇒ (1·04)2n = 1·04
  • ⇒ (1·04)2n = (1·04)1
  • From equation (i), we have

  • ⇒ ∠ABC = 128@/2=64°
  • ⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 64°
  • InΔBCD,
  • BC = CD [Given]
  • ⇒ ∠BDC = ∠DBC ...(ii)
  • Also, ∠BDC + ∠DBC + ∠BCD = 180° [Angle sum property]

  • ⇒ ∠DCE = 12°. Ans.
  • (iii) We have,
  • 5x – (5 – x) = 1/2 (3− x)

  • ⇒ 13x = 13
  • x = 13 /13 =1
  • Ans, 4 – 3y =(4y+y)/3
  • ⇒ 3(4 – 3y) = 4 + y

Answer 4.

(i) Let us draw a right triangle ABC, right-angled at C in which tan A =1/√3

  • Now, tan A = BC/AC=1/√3
  • Let BC = x
  • and AC = √3 x
  • By Pythagoras theorem, we
  • AB2= AC2 + BC2
  • ⇒ AB2 = (√ 3x)2 + x2
  • ⇒ AB2 = 3x2 + x2
  • ⇒ AB2 = 4x2
  • ∴ AB = 2x
  • With reference to ∠A, we have
  • Base AC =√3x, Perpendicular BC=x and Hypotenuse AB=2x
  • sin A = BC/AB = x/2x=1/2
  • and, cosA =AC/AB
  • =√3x/2x=√3/2
  • With reference to ∠B, we have
  • Base BC = x, Perpendicular AC = √3x and Hypotenuse AB = 2x.
  • ∴ cos B =BC/AB=x/2x=1/2
  • and sin B =AC/AB=√3x/2x=√3/2
  • Now, sin A. cos B + cos A. sin B
  • =1/2 x 1/2 + √3/2 x √3/2

Answer 5.

(i) Given : In DABC, AD is the median.
To prove : AB + AC > 2 AD

  • Construction : Produce AD upto a point E such that AD = DE and join C to E.
  • Proof : In ΔACE,
  • AC + CE > AE
  • [... sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side]
  • ⇒ AC + CE > 2 AD [  AD = DE] ...(i)
  • In ΔADB and ΔCDE,
  • BD = CD [Given]
  • AD = DE [By construction]
  • ∠ADB = ∠CDE [Vertically opposite angle]
  • ∠ADB ≅ ∠CDE [By SAS
  • ∠ADB ≅ ∠CDE [By SAS congruencey rule]
  • So, AB = CE [C.P.C.T.]So, AB = CE [C.P.C.T.]
  • Now, substituting CE = AB in equation (i), we have
  • AC + AB > 2 AD
  • ⇒ AB + AC > 2 AD Hence Proved.
  • (ii) Let us consider that √5 is a rational number.
  • Then, let √5 =p/q, .....(i)
  • where p and q are co-prime integers such that q ≠ 0, p and q have no common factor, except 1. Squaring on both sides in equation (i), we get
  • ∴ 5 =p2/q2
  • ⇒ p2 = 5q2 …(ii)
  • ·.· 5q2 is divisible by 5.
  • ∴ p2 is also divisible by 5.
  • ∴ p is also divisible by 5.
  • Let p = 5k, where k is an integer.
  • ∴ p2 = 25k2
  • ⇒ 5q2 = 25k2 [By using equation (ii)]
  • ⇒ q2 = 5k2
  • ·.· 5k2 is divisible by 5.
  • ∴ q2 is also divisible by 5.
  • ∴ q is also divisible by 5.
  • ⇒ p and q both are divisible by 5.
  • ⇒ p and q both multiples of 5.
  • But p and q must have no common factor other than 1.
  • It means our assumption is wrong.
  • ∴ √5 is an irrational number. Hence Proved.
  • (iii) Given : C is the mid-point of AB, ∠DCA = ∠ECB and ∠DBC = ∠EAC.
  • To prove : DC = EC
  • Proof : We have, ∠DCA = ∠ECB [Given]
  • We have, ∠DCA + ∠DCE = ∠ECB + ∠DCE [Adding ∠DCE to both sides]
  • ∠ACE = ∠DCB
  • Now, in DACE and DDCB
  • ∠ACE = ∠DCB [Proved above]
  • AC = CB [Given]
  • ∠CAE = ∠CBD [Given]
  • By ASA congruency rule,
  • ∠ACE ≅ DBCD
  • DC = EC Hence Proved.

  • ⇒ ∠QPR = ∠XPS ...(i)
  • In DQPR and DXPS,
  • PQ = PX [Given]

Answer 10.

  • (i) Given, S.I. for 2 years = ₹ 200
  • ⇒ P × 10 × 2/100=200
  • ⇒ P = ₹ 1,000
  • Now, C.I. for the first year
  • = 1, 000 x 10 x 1/100=₹100
  • ∴ Amount at the end of first year = `₹1,000 + ₹ 100 = ₹1,100
  • C.I. for the second year =1,100 x 10 x1/100= ₹110
  • ∴ Amount of the end of second year = ₹ 1,100 + ₹ 110 = ₹1,210

  • From equation (i) and equation (ii), we get
  • QR < PR < RS Ans.
  • (iii) Let O (x, y) be the centre of the circle.
  • Also, let A (6, – 6), B (3, – 7), C (3, 3) be the three points which lie on the circle.
  • ⇒ (6 – x)2 + (– 6 – y)2 = (3 – x)2 + (– 7 – y)2
  • ⇒ 36 + x2 – 12x + 36 + y2 + 12y = 9 + x2 – 6x + 49 + y2 + 14y
  • ⇒ – 12x + 6x + 12y – 14y + 72 – 58 = 0
  • ⇒ – 6x – 2y + 14 = 0
  • ⇒ – 2 (3x + y – 7) = 0
  • ⇒ 3x + y = 7 ...(i)
  • Similarly, OA = OC
  • or OA2 = OC2
  • ⇒ (6 – x )2 + (– 6 – y)2 = (3 – x)2 + (3 – y)2
  • ⇒ 36 + x2 – 12x + 36 + y2 + 12y = 9 + x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 – 6y
  • ⇒ – 12x + 6x + 12y + 6y + 72 – 18 = 0
  • ⇒ – 6x + 18y + 54 = 0
  • ⇒ – 6 (x – 3y – 9) = 0
  • ⇒ x – 3y = 9 ...(ii)
  • Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get
  • x = 3 y = – 2
  • Hence, the centre of circle is (3, – 2). Ans.
