Question 6: [i] What is the meaning of similarity? 2M

OR

[ii] What are the conditions for the similarity of polygons?

Solution:

OR

Question 7: [i] The perimeters of two similar triangles are 30cm and 20cm respectively. If one side of the triangle is 12 cm, then find the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle. 3M

OR

[ii] Write the statement of Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales Theorem).

Solution:

⇒ Perimeter of △ABC = 30 cm

⇒ Perimeter of △PQR = 20 cm

⇒ BC = 12 cm, QR = ?

⇒ In the similarity case,

Perimeter of △ABC / Perimeter of △PQR = AB / PQ = BC / QR = AC / PR

⇒ 30 / 20 = 12 / x

⇒ 1.5 = 12 / x

⇒ x * 1.5 = 12

⇒ x = 8cm

OR

Question 8: [i] Check whether 6cm, 8cm and 10cm are the sides of the right-angled triangle? 2M

OR

[ii] ∆ACB is an isosceles triangle such that AC = BC, if AB² = 2AC², then prove that ∆ACB is a right-angled triangle.

Solution:

Hypotenuse² = Adjacent² + Opposite²

10² = 8² + 6²

100 = 64 + 36

100 =100

These are the sides of a right-angled triangle.

OR

AB² = 2AC²

AB² = AC² + AC²

AB² = AC² + BC²

So, AB will be the largest side which is the hypotenuse.

Hypotenuse² = Adjacent² + Opposite²

AB² = AC² + BC²

LHS = AB²

RHS = AC² + AC²

= 2AC²

= AB²

LHS = RHS

Pythagoras theorem holds good and thus triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle.

Question 9: [i] Find the median of the following values:

15, 35, 18, 26, 19, 25, 29, 20, 27. 2M

OR

[ii] Write any two merits of the Arithmetic Mean.

Solution:

Number of terms = 9

Median = [(n + 1) / 2]^th term

= [(9 + 1) / 2]^th term

= 5^th term

= 25

OR

(b) It is based on all observations of the given data.

Question 10: [i] Find the probability that an even number turns up in a single throw of a die. 2M

OR

[ii] Find the probability of getting head and tail at a time in a single throw of a coin.

Solution:

n (S) = 6

A = {2, 4, 6}

n (A) = 3

P (A) = n (A) / n (S)

= 3 / 6

= 1 / 2

OR

Probability (getting head and tail at a time in a single throw of a coin) = 0

Question 11: [i] A chord of length 30cm is drawn at a distance of 8cm from the centre of the circle. Find the radius of a circle. 3M

OR

[ii] Prove that the length of two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is equal.

Solution:

Chord of length 30 cm

Given that the distance from centre to the chord AB is OC = 8 cm.

OC ⊥ AB and AC = CB [Since perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle bisects the chord]

∴ AC = CB = 15 cm

In right ΔOCA,

OA² = AC² + OC²

= 152 + 82

= 225 + 64

= 289

AC = 17 cm

Thus, the radius of the circle is 17 cm.

OR

Let two tangents PT and QT be drawn to the circle of centre O as shown in the figure.

Both the given tangents PT and QT touch to the circle at P and Q respectively.

To prove that the length of PT = length of QT.

Construction: Draw a line segment, from centre O to external point T {touching point of two tangents}.

Proof: In ∆POT and ∆QOT, the tangent makes a right angle with the radius of the circle.

PO and QO are radii.

So, ∠OPT = ∠OQT = 90°

It is clear that both the triangles ∆POT and ∆QOT are right-angled triangles with a common hypotenuse OT of these [as shown in the figure].

In ∆POT and ∆QOT,

∠OPT = OQT = 90°

Common hypotenuse OT and OP = OQ [OP and OQ are radii]

So, by RHS rule of similarity,

∆POT ~ ∆QOT

OP / OQ = PT / QT = OT / OT

PT / QT = 1

PT = QT

Question 12: [i] Prove that the angles in the same segment of a circle are equal to each other. 3M

OR

[ii] Prove that the angles in the semicircle are the right angle.

Solution:

Given a circle with centre O, the points P and Q subtends the angles ∠PAQ and ∠PBQ at points A and B respectively.

To prove that ∠PAQ = ∠PBQ

Proof:

Chord PQ subtends ∠POQ at the centre.

From the theorem “Angles subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angles subtended by it at any other point on the circle.”

∠POQ = 2 ∠PAQ —– (1)

∠POQ = 2∠PBQ —– (2)

From (1) and (2),

2∠PBQ = 2∠PAQ

∠PBQ = ∠PAQ

OR

Given: A circle with centre O. PQ is the diameter of the circle subtending ∠PAQ at point A on the circle.

To prove that: ∠PAQ = 90^o

Proof:

POQ is a straight line passing through centre O.

Angle subtended by arc PQ at O is ∠POQ = 180^o —- (1)

Also, by theorem “The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.”

∠POQ = 2∠PAQ

∠POQ / 2 = ∠PAQ

180^o / 2 = ∠PAQ —- (from (1))

90^o = ∠PAQ

∠PAQ = 90^o

Question 13: [i] If the mean of 5 observations x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8 is 11, then find the value of x.

OR

[ii] Find the arithmetic mean of 47, 53, 49, 60, 39, 42, 53, 52, 50, 55. 3M

Solution:

5x + 20 = 55

5x = 35

⇒ x = 7

OR

= [47 + 53 + 49 + 60 + 39 + 42 + 53 + 52 + 50 + 55] / 10

= 503 / 10

= 50.3

Question 14: [i] Find the median of the following frequency distribution table:

OR

[ii] Write two merits and one demerit of the median. 3M

Solution:

N = 21

Median = [(N + 1) / 2]^th term

= [21 + 1 ] / 2

= 22 / 2

= 11^th term

= 8

OR

(a) It is easy to compute and understand.

(b) It is well defined an ideal average should be.

Demerits :

1) For computing, median data needs to be arranged in ascending or descending order.

Question 15: [i] Solve the following system of equation by Substitution Method: 4x+ y = 7

3x – 2y = 11 4M

OR

[ii] If in ∆ABC, ∠C = 2∠B = ∠A + ∠B + 20, then find all the three angles of the triangle.

Solution:

3x – 2y = 11 —- (2)

From (1), y = 7 – 4x —- (3)

Substitute (3) in (2),

3x – 2 * (7 – 4x) = 11

3x – 14 + 8x = 11

11x = 11 + 14

11x = 25

x = 25 / 11

Put the value of x in (1),

4 * (25 / 11) + y = 7

100 / 11 + y = 7

y = 7 – (100 / 11)

= [77 – 100] / 11

= -23 / 11

So,

x = 25 / 11 and y = -23 / 11

OR

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180^o

Since ∠C = 2∠B and 2∠B = ∠A + ∠B + 20,

∠B = ∠A + 20

∠A + ∠B + 2∠B = 180^o

∠A + ∠A + 20 + 2 [∠A + 20] = 180^o

∠A + ∠A + 20 + 2∠A + 40 = 180

4∠A = 180 – 60

4∠A = 120

∠A = 120 / 4

∠A = 30^o

∠B = ∠A + 20

∠B = 30 + 20

∠B = 50^o

∠C = 2∠B = 2 * 50^o = 100^o

Question 16: [i] A fraction becomes 1 / 4 when 2 is subtracted from its numerator and 3 is added to its denominator and on adding 6 to the numerator and multiplying the denominator by 3, it becomes 2 / 3. Find the fraction. 4M

OR

[ii] The sum of two numbers is 7. If the sum of these numbers is 7 times of its difference, then find the numbers.

Solution:

Given, 3 is added to the denominator and 2 is subtracted from the numerator a fraction becomes 1/4.

⇒ [a – 2] / [b + 3] = [1 / 4]

⇒ 4a – 8 = b + 3

⇒ 4a – b = 11—-(1)

Also, when 6 is added to the numerator and the denominator is multiplied by 3, it becomes 2/3.

⇒ [a + 6] / 3b = [2 / 3]

⇒ 3a + 18 = 2b

⇒ a + 6 = 2b —-(2)

On multiplying equation (2) by 4 and subtracting from equation (1),

⇒ 4a – b – 4a – 24 = 11 – 8b

⇒ 7b = 35

⇒ b = 5

Thus, a = 4.

The fraction is 4 / 5.

OR

x + y = 7………(1)

x + y = 7 (x – y)

6x – 8y = 0

3x – 4y = 0 * 2 —- (2)

4x + 4y = 28 —- (3)

7x = 28

x = 28 / 7

x = 4

4 + y = 7

y = 7 – 4

y = 3

Question 17: [i] If b is the mean proportional of a and c then prove that [a² + b²] / ab = [a + c] / b 4M

OR

[ii] If x / b + c = y / c + a = z / a + b, then prove that (b – c) x + (c – a) y + (a – b) z = 0.

Solution:

Take the LHS

= [a² + b²] / ab

= [a² + ac] / ab

= a (a + c) / ab

= (a + c) / b

OR

x = k (b + c), y = k (c + a), z = k (a + b)

LHS = (b – c) x + (c – a) y + (a – b) z

= (b – c) (k (b + c)) + (c – a) (k (c + a)) + (a – b) (k (a + b))

= k (b² – c²) + k (c² – a²) + k (a² – b²)

= k (b² – c² + c² – a² + a² – b²)

= k * 0

= 0

Question 18: [i] Solve the following equation by the formula method, x² – 5x – 6 = 0. 4M

OR

[ii] If α, β are the roots of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, then find the value of α² + β².

Solution:

x² – 6x + 1x – 6 = 0

x(x – 6) + 1(x – 6) = 0

(x – 6) (x + 1) = 0

x = 6, -1

OR

The sum of the zeroes = α + β = -b / a.

The product of the zeroes = α * β = c / a

α² + β² = (α + β)² – 2 [α * β]

= [-b / a]² – 2 * [c / a]

= b² / a² – 2c / a

= b² – 2ac / a²

Question 19: [i] At a point 25 m away from the foot of a building, the angle of elevation at the top of the building is 45º. Find the height of the building. 4M

OR

[ii] From the top of the 60m high lighthouse, the angle of depression of the ship is 60º. Find the distance between the ship and food of the lighthouse.

Solution:

∠APB = 45^o

In triangle ABP,

h / 25 = tan 45 = 1

h = 25m

OR

∠APB = ∠QAP = 60^o

In triangle ABP,

60 / x = tan 60^o = √3

x = 60 / √3 = 20√3

= 20 * 1.732

= 34.64m

Question 20: [i] Find the length of arc and area of a sector of the circle, if the angle subtended at the centre and the radius are 60º and 6 cm respectively. 4M

OR

[ii] If V is the volume of a cuboid, whose length is a breadth is b and height is c and S is its total surface area, then prove that 1 / V = 2 / S [1/ a + 1/ b + 1/ c].

Solution:

Area of the sector = [θ / 360^o] * 2𝛑r

= [60 / 360] * 2 * (22 / 7) * (6)

= [1 / 6] * [264 / 7]

= 44 / 7 cm

Length of the arc = [𝛑r²θ] / 360^o

= [22 / 7] * [6 * 6 * 60] / 360^o

= 132 / 7

= 18.8 cm

OR

Surface area of cuboid = 2 (ab + bc + ac)

It can be written as [2 / S] (1 / a + 1 / b + 1 / c) = [2 / S] (S / 2V)

Question 21: [i] Two cubes of each 15cm side are joined end to end. Find the total surface area of the resulting cuboid. 4M

OR

[ii] An iron sphere of radius 8 cm is melted then recast into small spheres each of radius 1 cm. Find the number of small spheres.

Solution:

After joining the two cubes it becomes cuboid.

Dimensions of the cuboid are

Length = a + a = 15+15 = 30 cm

breadth = b = 15 cm

height = h = 15 cm

Total surface area = 2 (lb + bh + lh)

= 2 (30*15 + 15*15 + 30*15)

= 2 (450 + 225 + 450)

= 2 * 1125

= 2250 square cm

OR

= 512

Question 22: [i] Which rational expression should be added to [x³ − 1] / [x² + 2] to get [2x³ − x² + 3] / x² + 2? 5M

OR

[ii] Factorise a² (b + c) + b² (c + a) + c² (a + b) + 3abc.

Solution:

p(x) / q(x) = [2x³ − x² + 3] / [x² + 2] – [x³ − 1] / [x² + 2]

= [2x³ – x² + 3] – [x³ – 1] / [x² + 2]

= [x³ – x² + 4] / [x² + 2]

OR

= a² (b + c) + abc + b² (c + a) + abc + c² (a + b) + abc

= a (ab + ca + bc) + b (bc + ab + ca) + c (ca + bc + ab)

= a (ab + bc + ca) + b (ab + bc + ca) + c (ab + bc + ca)

= (ab + bc + ca) (a + b + c)

Question 23: [i] The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 26 / 5. Find the number. 5M

OR

[ii] Solve √3x² − 2 + 1 = 2x.

Solution:

x² + 1 = [26 / 5] * x

5x² + 5 = 26x

5x² – 26x + 5 = 0

5x² – 25x – 1x + 5 = 0

5x (x – 5) -1 (x – 5) = 0

(5x – 1) (x – 5) = 0

x = 1 / 5, 5

OR

√3x² − 2 = 2x – 1

On squaring both sides,

3x² – 2 = (2x – 1)²

3x² – 2 = 4x² + 1 – 4x

3x² – 4x² – 2 – 1 + 4x = 0

-x² – 3 + 4x = 0

x² – 4x + 3 = 0

x² – 3x – 1x + 3 = 0

x(x – 3) -1 (x – 3) = 0

(x – 1) (x – 3) = 0

x = 1, 3

[ii] Find the amount and compound interest on Rs, 2000 for 2 years at the rate of 10% per annum compound interest.

Solution:

= 40000 * (1 – [10 / 100])³

= 40000 * (9 / 10)³

= 40000 * (0.729)

= 29160

Depreciation = 40000 – 29160 = Rs. 10,840

OR

= P(1 + [10 / 100])²

= P(110 / 100)²

= 2000 * (1.21)

= Rs. 2420

CI = 2420 – 2000 = Rs. 420

OR

[ii] Prove that: [1 + cosA] / sin A + sin A / 1 + cos A = 2 / sin A.

Solution:

= sin(90˚ – 20˚) / cos 20˚ + cosec (90˚ – 70˚) / sec 70˚ – 2 cos 70˚ × cosec 20˚

= cos 20˚ / cos 20˚ + sec 70˚ / sec 70˚ – 2 cos 70˚ × cosec 20˚

= 1 + 1 – 2 cos (90˚ – 20˚) cosec 20˚

= 2 – 2 sin 20˚ . 1 / sin 20˚

= 2 – 2

= 0

= R.H.S

OR

= (1 + cos A)² + sin² A / sin A (1 + cos A)

= 1 + 2 cos A + cos² A + sin² A / sin A (1 + cos A)

= 1 + 2 cos A + 1 / sin A (1 + cos A)

= 2 + 2 cos A / sin A (1 + cos A)

= 2 (1 + cos A) / sin A (1 + cos A)

= 2 / sin A

= RHS
