SECTION – III
15. If U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} and A = {1, 4}, B = {1, 3} show that (A U B)’ = A’ ⋂ B’.
Solution:
Given,
U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
A = {1, 4}
B = {1, 3)
A U B = {1, 4} U {1, 3} = {1, 3, 4}
(A U B)’ = U – (A U B)
= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} – {1, 3, 4}
= {0, 2}
A’ = U – A
= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} – {1, 4}
= {0, 2, 3}
B’ = U – B
= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} – {1, 3}
= {0, 2, 4}
A’ ⋂ B’ = {0, 2, 3} ⋂ {0, 2, 4}
= {0, 2}
Therefore, (A U B)’ = A’ ⋂ B’

= 210
17. At constant pressure a certain quantity of water at 24°C is heated. It was observed that the rise of temperature was found to be 4°C per minute. Calculate the time required to rise the temperature of water to 100°C at sea level by using formula.
Solution:
The given data forms an AP with:
a = 24, d = 4
i.e. 24, 28, 32, ….
Let an = 100
a + (n – 1)d = 100
24 + (n – 1)4 = 100
(n – 1)4 = 100 – 24
(n – 1)4 = 76
n – 1 = 76/4
n – 1 = 19
n = 19 + 1 = 20
Hence, 20 minutes is required to rise the temperature of water to 100°C.
18. Prove that 2 + √5 is an irrational number.
Solution:
Let 2 + √5 be a rational number.
Thus, 2 + √5 = a/b, where a, b are coprime integers and b ≠ 0.
⇒ √5 = (a/b) – 2
⇒ √5 = (a – 2b)/b
Since a and b are integers, (a – 2b)/b is a rational number.
⇒ √5 is also a rational number.
This is the contradiction to the fact that √5 is an irrational number.
Hence, our assumption that 2 + √5 is a rational number is wrong.
Therefore, 3 + √5 is an irrational number.
Hence proved.
19. If nP4 = 20(nP2), then find the value of n.
Solution:
nP4 = 20(nP2)
n!/(n – 4)! = 20 [n!/(n – 2)!]
1/(n – 4)! = 20 [1/ (n – 2)(n – 3)(n – 4)!]
= 1 = 20/ [(n – 2)(n – 3)]
⇒ (n – 2)(n – 3) = 20
⇒ n2 – 3n – 2n + 6 – 20 = 0
⇒ n2 – 5n – 14 = 0
⇒ n2 – 7n + 2n – 14 = 0
⇒ n(n – 7) + 2(n – 7) = 0
⇒ (n – 7)(n + 2) = 0
⇒ n = 7, n = -2
The value of n cannot be negative.
Therefore, n = 7
20. A dice numbered 1 to 6 on its faces is rolled once. Find the probability of getting either an even number or multiple of ‘3’ on its top face.
Solution:
Sample space = S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Total number of outcomes = n(S) = 6
Let E be the event of getting either an even number or multiple of ‘3’.
E = {2, 3, 4, 6}
n(E) = 4
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
= 4/6
= 2/3
Hence, the required probability is 2/3.
21. What are like surds and unlike surds?
Solution:
A group of surds having the same radicand & order are called surds.
Eg. √3, 7√3, 10√3, -3√3,…

Eg. √5, 9√2, 8√3,…
22. Rationalise the denominator and simplify:
(√5 + √3)/(√5 – √3)
Solution:
(√5 + √3)/(√5 – √3)
Rationalising the denominator,
[(√5 + √3)/(√5 – √3)] [(√5 + √3)/(√5 + √3)]= (√5 + √3)2/ [(√5)2 – (√3)2]
= (5 + 3 + 2√5√3)/ (5 – 3)
= (8 + 2√15)/2
= 2(4 + √15)/2
= 4 + √15
23. Find the quotient and the remainder when f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 7 is divided by g(x) = (x – 3) using synthetic division.
Solution:
Given,
f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 7
g(x) = x – 3
Let x – 3 = 0
x = 3
Therefore, quotient = q(x) = 2x2 + 3x + 14
Remainder = r(x) = 35
OR
Find the zeros of the polynomial p(x) = x2 – 15x + 50.
Solution:
Given polynomial is:
p(x) = x2 – 15x + 50
= x2 – 10x – 5x + 50
= x(x – 10) – 5(x – 10)
= (x – 10)(x – 5)
For zeroes of the polynomial, p(x) = 0
(x – 10)(x – 5) = 0
x – 10 = 0, x – 5 = 0
x = 10, x = 5
Hence, the zeroes of the given polynomial are 10 and 5.
24. Solve the equation x2 – 12x + 27 = 0 by using formula.
Solution:
Given quadratic equation is:
x2 – 12x + 27 = 0
Comparing with the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0,
a = 1, b = -12, c = 27
Using quadratic formula,
x = [-b ± √(b2 – 4ac)]/2a
= [-(-12) ± √{(-12)2 – 4(1)(27)}]/ 2(1)
= [12 ± √(144 – 108)]/2
= [12 ± √36]/2
= (12 ± 6)/2
x = (12 + 6)/2, x = (12 – 6)/2
x = 18/2, x = 6/2
x = 9, x = 3
25. Draw a chord of length 6 cm in a circle of radius 5 cm. Measure and write the distance of the chord from the centre of the circle.

26. In a right ΔABC, ∠ABC = 90°, BD ⊥ AC. If BD = 8 cm, AD = 4 cm, find CD and AB.
Solution:
Given,
In a right ΔABC,
∠ABC = 90° and BD ⊥ AC
BD = 8 cm
AD = 4 cm
In ΔABC and ΔBDC,
∠B = ∠D = 90°
∠C = ∠C (common)
By AA similarity,
ΔABC ~ ΔBDC
By Right angle theorem,
BD2 = AD. DC
(8)2 = 4 × CD
4CD = 64
CD = 64/4
CD = 16 cm
Similarly,
AB2 = AC. AD
AB2 = (CD + AD) × AD
= (16 + 4) × 4
= 20 × 4
= 80
AB = √80 = 4√5 cm
OR
In ΔABC, XY || BC and XY = 1/2 BC. If the area of ΔAXY = 10 cm2, find the area of trapezium XYCB.
Solution:
Given,
In ΔABC, XY || BC and XY = 1/2 BC.
ar(ΔAXY) = 10 cm2
In ΔAXY and ΔABC,
∠AXY = ∠ABC (corresponding angles)
∠A = ∠A (common)
By AA similarity,
ΔAXY ~ ΔABC
Thus, AX/AB = XY/BC = AY/AC
⇒ XY/BC = AX/AB
⇒ 1/2 = AX/AB
By area of similar triangles,
ar(ΔAXY)/ar(ΔABC) = (AX/AB)2
10/ar(ΔABC) = 1/4
⇒ ar(ΔABC) = 40 cm2
Area of trapezium XYCB = ar(ΔABC) – ar(ΔAXY)
= 40 – 10
= 30 cm2
27. Show that, cot θ . cos θ + sin θ = cosec θ.
Solution:
cot θ . cos θ + sin θ
= (cos θ/sin θ) . cos θ + sin θ
= (cos2θ + sin2θ)/sin θ
Using the identity sin2A + cos2A = 1,
= 1/sin θ
= cosec θ
Therefore, cot θ . cos θ + sin θ = cosec θ.
28. A student while conducting an experiment on Ohm’s law, plotted the graph according to the given data. Find the slope of the line obtained.
| X-axis I | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |

(x1, y1) = (1, 2)
(x2, y2) = (2, 4)
(x3, y3) = (3, 6)
(x4, y4) = (4, 8)
Slope = (y4 – y1)/(x4 – x1)
= (8 – 2)/(4 – 1)
= 6/3
= 2
Hence, the slope of the line obtained is 2.

Solution:
Given, 8 different bicycle companies.
A student likes to choose 3 companies.
8C3 = 8!/(8 – 3)! 3!
= (8 × 7 × 6 × 5!)/ (5! × 3 × 2)
= 8 × 7
= 56
Hence, the student can choose 3 different companies in 56 ways.
SECTION – IV
31. In a Geometric progression the sum of the first three terms is 14 and the sum of the next three terms of it is 112. Find the Geometric progression.
Solution:
Let a, ar, ar2, ar3, ar4, ar5 be the first six terms of GP.
According to the given,
a + ar + ar2 = 14
a(1 + r + r2) = 14 ….(i)
ar3 + ar4 + ar5 = 112
ar3(1 + r + r2) = 112….(ii)
Dividing (ii) by (i),
[ar3(1 + r + r2)]/ [a(1 + r + r2)] = 112/14r3 = 8
r3 = (2)3
⇒ r = 2
Substituting r = 2 in (i)
a(1 + 2 + 22) = 14
a(1 + 2 + 4) = 14
7a = 14
a = 14/7 = 2
ar = 2 × 2 = 4
ar2 = 2 × (2)2 = 8
ar3 = 2 × (2)3 = 16
ar4 = 2 × (2)4 = 32
ar5 = 2 × (2)5 = 64
Therefore, the required GP is 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,….
OR
If ‘a’ is the Arithmetic mean of b and c, ‘b’ is the Geometric mean of c and a, then prove that ‘c’ is the Harmonic mean of a and b.
Solution:
Given,
a is the AM of b and c.
b + c = 2a ….(i)
b is the GM of a and c.
b2 = ac ….(ii)
From (i),
b + c = 2a
Multiplying with ‘b’ on both sides,
b2 + bc = 2ab
ac + bc = 2ab [From (ii)]
c(a + b) = 2ab
c = 2ab/(a + b)
Thus, c is the harmonic mean of a and b.
Hence proved.
32. Marks scored by 30 students of 10th standard in a unit test of mathematics are given below. Find the variance of the scores:
| Marks (x) | 4 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 16 |
| No. of students (f) | 13 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 4 |
Solution:
| x | f | fx | d = x – mean | d2 | fd2 |
| 4 | 13 | 52 | 4 – 8 = -4 | 16 | 208 |
| 8 | 6 | 48 | 8 – 8 = 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 10 | 4 | 40 | 10 – 8 = 2 | 4 | 16 |
| 12 | 3 | 36 | 12 – 8 = 4 | 16 | 48 |
| 16 | 4 | 64 | 16 – 8 = 8 | 64 | 256 |
| ∑f = 30 | ∑fx = 240 | ∑fd2 = 528 |
Mean = ∑fx/∑f = 240/30 = 8
V = ∑fd2/∑f
= 528/30
= 17.6
Therefore, the variance of the scores is 17.6.
33. If p and q are the roots of the equation x2 – 3x + 2 = 0, then find the value of 1/p – 1/q.
Solution:
Given,
x2 – 3x + 2 = 0
Comparing with the standard form,
a = 1, b = -3, c = 2
Also, given that p and q are the roots.
Sum of the roots = p + q = -b/a = -(-3)/1 = 3
Product of the roots = pq = c/a = 2/1 = 2
1/p – 1/q = (q – p)/pq
= [√(p + q)2 – 4pq]/ 2
= √[(3)2 – 4(2)]/2
= √(9 – 8)/2
= √1/2
= 1/2
OR
A dealer sells an article for Rs. 16 and loses as much percent as the cost price of the article. Find the cost price of the article.
Solution:
Let x be the cost price of the article.
According to the given,
Loss percentage = x%
Selling price of the article = Rs. 16
We know that,
Loss percentage = (Loss/CP) × 100
x = (loss/x) × 100
x2 = 100 × loss
⇒ Loss = x2/100
⇒ x – 16 = x2/100
⇒ x2 = 100x – 1600
⇒ x2 – 100x + 1600 = 0
⇒ x2 – 80x – 20x + 1600 = 0
⇒ x(x – 80) – 20(x – 80) = 0
⇒ (x – 80)(x – 20) = 0
⇒ x = 80, x = 20
Therefore, the cost price of the article is Rs. 20 or Rs. 80.
34. Prove that, “If two circles touch each other externally, their centres and the point of contact are collinear”.
Solution:
Let A be the centre of circle C1 and B be the centre of circle C2.
P be the point of contact.
Draw tangent XY which passes through P.
∠APX = ∠BPX = 90° (radius is perpendicular to the tangent through the point of contact)
Now,
∠APX + ∠BPX = 90° + 90° = 180°
180° is the angle formed by a straight line.
Thus, ∠APX and ∠BPX is a linear pair.
Therefore, A, P and B are collinear.
Hence proved.
35. If 7 sin2θ + 3 cos2θ = 4 and ‘θ’ is acute then show that cot θ = √3.
Solution:
Given,
7 sin2θ + 3 cos2θ = 4
4 sin2θ + 3 sin2θ + 3 cos2θ = 4
4 sin2θ + 3(sin2θ + cos2θ) = 4
4 sin2θ + 3(1) = 4
4 sin2θ = 4 – 3
sin2θ = 1/4
sin θ = √1/4
sin θ = 1/2
sin θ = sin 30° (given that θ is an acute angle)
θ = 30°
cot θ = cot 30° = √3
OR
The angle of elevation of an aircraft from a point on horizontal ground is found to be 30°. The angle of elevation of the same aircraft after 24 seconds which is moving horizontally to the ground is found to be 60°. If the height of the aircraft from the ground is 3600√3 metre, find the velocity of the aircraft.
Solution:
In triangle ABC,
tan 30° = AB/BC
1/√3 = 3600√3/BC
BC = 3600√3× √3
BC = 3600 × 3
BC = 10800 m
In triangle PQC,
tan 60° = PQ/QC
√3 = 3600√/QC
QC = 3600 m
BQ = BC – QC
= 10800 – 3600
= 7200 m
Thus, BQ = AP = 7200m
Speed = Distance/Time
= 7200/24
= 300 m/s
36. A solid is in the form of a cone mounted on a right circular cylinder, both having the same radii as shown in the figure. The radius of the base and height of the cone are 7 cm and 9 cm respectively. If the total height of the solid is 30 cm, find the volume of the solid.
Solution:
Given,
Radius of the circular base of cylinder and cone = r = 7 cm
Height of the cone = h = 9 cm
Total height of the solid = 30 cm
Thus, height of the cylinder = H = 30 – 9 = 21 cm
Volume of cone = (1/3)πr2h
= (1/3) × (22/7) × 7 × 7 × 9
= 22 × 7 × 3
= 462 cm3
Volume of cylinder = πr2H
= (22/7) × 7 × 7 × 21
= 22 × 7 × 21
= 3234 cm3
Therefore, the total volume of the solid = 462 + 3234 = 3696 cm3
OR
The slant height of the frustum of a cone is 4 cm and the perimeter of its circular bases are 18 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the curved surface area of the frustum.
Solution:
Given,
Slant height of frustum = l = 4 cm
Let R and r be the radii of circular ends. (R > r)
Perimeter of circular end with radius R = 18 cm
2πR = 18
R = 18/2π
R = 9/π cm
Perimeter of circular end with radius r = 6 cm
2πr = 6
r = 6/2π
r = 3/π
Curved surface area of frustum of a cone = π(R + r)l
= π[(9/π) + (3/π)] × 4
= π [(9 + 3)/π] × 4
= 12 × 4
= 48 cm2

ar(∆BDE) = 1/2 (DB × EN)
ar(∆ADE) = 1/2 (AE × DM)
ar(∆DEC) = 1/2 (EC × DM)
Now,
ar(∆ADE)/ar(∆BDE) = [1/2 AD × EN)]/ [1/2 (DB × EN)] = AD/DB ….(i)
ar(∆ADE)/ar(∆DEC) = [1/2 (AE × DM)]/ [1/2 (EC × DM)] = AE/EC ….(i)
Triangle BDE and DEC are on the same base DE and between the same parallels.
Therefore, ar(∆BDE) = ar(∆DEC) ….(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii),
AD/DB = AE/EC
Hence proved.

40. A vertical tree is broken by the wind at a height of 6 metre from its foot and its top touches the ground at a distance of 8 metre from the foot of the tree. Calculate the distance between the top of the tree before breaking and the point at which tip of the tree touches the ground, after it breaks.
Solution:
Let AB be the tree, which is broken at C.
AC = 6 m
CD = 8 m
In triangle CBD, ∠B = 90°
By Pythagoras theorem,
CD2 = BC2 + BD2
= 62 + 82
= 36 + 64
= 100
CD = √100 = 10 m
Broken part of the tree = CD = AC = 10 m
In right triangle ABD,
AD2 = AB2 + BD2
= (AC + BC)2 + BD2
= (10 + 6)2 + 82
= 256 + 64
= 320
AD = √320 m
Therefore, the distance between the top of the tree before breaking and the point at which tip of the tree touches the ground, after it breaks is √320 m.

In Δ ABC, AD is drawn perpendicular to BC. If BD : CD = 3 : 1, then prove that BC2 = 2(AB2 – AC2).
Solution:
Given that, in Δ ABC, AD is drawn perpendicular to BC.
Also, BD : CD = 3 : 1
BD = 3CD
RHS = 2(AB2 – AC2)
= 2(AD2 + BD2 – AD2 – DC2)
= 2[(BD + DC)(BD – DC)]
= 2[BC(3CD – CD)]
= 2(BC)(2CD)
= BC(4 CD)
= BC(3 CD + CD)
= BC(BD + CD)
= BC × BC
= BC2
= LHS
Hence proved.
