SOLUTIONS

SECTION-A

Solution 1:
Given : P is the mid-point of QR.
So by mid-point formula,

Solution 2:
Given
∆ABC ~ ∆PQR
and $$\frac { BC }{ QR } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$

Solution 3:
We know,
Product of two numbers = H.C.F. × L.C.M.
⇒ a x b = H.C.F. x L.C.M.
⇒ 38 x b = 19 x 152
⇒ b = $$\frac { 19\times 152 }{ 38 }$$ = 76.
∴ b = 76.

Solution 4:
Given : Sum of zeroes = 6
and product of zeroes = 5
We know, quadratic polynomial is given as,
= k[x² – (Sum of zeroes)x + Product of zeroes]
= k[x² – 6x + 5] where k ≠ 0.

Solution 5:
x² – 2kx + 2m = 0
Since, 2 and 3 are roots of the given quadratic equation.
So, putting x = 2, 3 in given equation, we get
3(2)² – 2k(2) + 2m = 0
⇒ 12 – 4k + 2m = 0
and 3(3)² – 2k(3) + 2m=0
⇒ 27 – 6k + 2m = 0
Subtracting equation (i) and (ii), we get

k = $$\frac { 15 }{ 2 }$$
Substituting the value of k in equation (i), we get
12 – 4 x $$\frac { 15 }{ 2 }$$ + 2m = 0
12 – 30 + 2m = 0
2m = 18 ⇒ m = 9
∴ k = $$\frac { 15 }{ 2 }$$ and m = 9.

Solution 6:
We have,

SECTION-B

Solution 7:
Given numbers are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
L.C.M. of 2, 4, 8 = 8
L.C.M. of 3, 9 = 9
L.C.M. of 5, 10 = 10
L.C.M. of 6, 2, 4, 8, 3, 9 = 8 x 9 = 72
L.C.M. of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 5, 10 = 72 x 5 = 360
L.C.M. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 7 = 360 x 7 = 2520
∴ 2520 is least number which is divisible by all the numbers from 2 to 10.

Solution 8:
Since ∠AOB = 90°
So, ∆AOB is right angle triangle.
We know that in a right angled triangle, mid-point of hypotenuse is equidistant from all three vertices of right angle triangle.
Mid-point of hypotenuse AB = $$\frac { 2x+0 }{ 2 } ,\frac { 0+2y }{ 2 }$$ = (x, y)
Hence, C(x, y) is the equidistant from the three vertices of the ∆AOB.

Solution 9:
Total lottery tickets = 1000
∴ n(S) = 1000
Total winner tickets = 5
∴ n(E) = 5
Probability of winning the prize
P(E) = $$\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 5 }{ 1000 }$$ = 0.005.

Solution 10:
Let E be the event of B’s chance of throwing a higher number than 9.
⇒ E= {(4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ Total chances, n(E) = 6
Hence, probability of throwing a higher number than 9
P(E) = $$\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 6 }{ 36 } =\frac { 1 }{ 6 }$$

Solution 11:
2x – 3y – 7 = 0
and (k+2)x – (2k+1)y – 3(2k-1)=0

Solution 12:
Sum of first 99 even natural numbers
i.e., 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 …
These are in arithmetic progression with
a = 2, d = 4 – 2 = 2, n = 99
Sum of K terms of A.P. is given as

Hence, sum of first 99 even natural number = 9900.

SECTION-C

Solution 13:
Let the number be a = 3q + r where r = 0,1, 2
Case I: When r = 0,
Then a = 3q
It is divisible by 3.
Case II: When r = 1,
Then a = 3q + 1
It is not divisible by 3.
Case III: When r = 2,
Then a = 3q + 2
It is not divisible by 3
These are also three consecutive numbers hence exactly one out of any three consecutive number is divisible by 3.

Solution 14:
Given vertices of triangles are
A(a, b + c), B(b, c + a) and C(c, a + b)
We know, area of a triangle is given as

Solution 15:
Given

Solution 17:
Let the radius of third circle be r cm.
Area enclosed by two concentric circles I and II of radii 3.5 cm and 7 cm, respectively

Solution 18:
Given : Dimensions of cuboidal block = 4.4 m x 2.6 m x 1 m
Internal radius of pipe, r = 30 cm = 0.30 m
Thickness of cylindrical pipe = 5 cm
External radius of pipe, R = 30 + 5 cm = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Now, volume of cuboidal block = 4.4 x 2.6 x 1 m³ = 11.44 m³
Volume of the hollow cylindrical pipe = π(R² – r²)h
= π(0.35² – 0.30²)h

Solution 19:
x3 + 2x2 -9x-18
it is divided by x – 3
x – 3 = 0 x = 3
From the given data, we get
f(3) = 21
⇒ (3)3 + 2(3)2 + k(3) = 21
⇒ 27 + 18 + 3k + 3 = 21
⇒ 48 + 3k = 21
⇒ 3k = – 27
⇒ k = – 9
∴ Polynomial becomes
x3 + 2x2 + (-9) x + 3
x3 + 2x2 – 9x + 3
We know,
Dividend = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder
⇒ x3 + 2x2 – 9x + 3 = Quotient × (x – 3) + 21
⇒ x3 + 2x2 – 9x – 18 = Quotient × (x – 3)

Solution 20:
Given equations are
3x – y = 3
and 2x – y = – 2
From Equations (i),
3x – y = 3

The point of intersection of these lines is (5, 12).
x = 5 and y = 12.
OR
Let the price of audio cassette be Rs x
and the price of video cassette be Rs y
According to the question,
2x + 3y = 426 …(i)
and 3x + 2y = 350 ….(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
5x + 5y = 776
⇒ x + y = 155.20 ….(iii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
– x + y =76 …(iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv), we get
2y = 231.20
⇒ y = $$\frac { 231.20 }{ 2 }$$ = 115.60
Putting the value of y in equation (iii), we get
x + 115.60 = 125.20
⇒ x = 155.20 – 115.60
⇒ x = 39.60
Thus, Price of audio cassette = Rs 115.60
Price of video cassette = Rs 39.60.

Solution 21:
We have,
$$cos(A-B)=\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 }$$ …(i)
and $$cos(A+B)=\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ….(ii)
From equation (i)

= 15000 – 20000
Now,

= 15000 + 3000
Mode = 18000
Modal daily wages = Rs 18000.

Diameter of cylinder = 2 m
Radius , r = $$\\ \frac { 2 }{ 2 }$$ = 1m

Solution 27:
Let the two consecutive number be x and (x + 1).
Then, according to the question,
x² + (x + 1)² = 313
=> x² + x² + 2x + 1 – 313 = 0
=> 2x² + 2x – 312 = 0
=> x² + x – 156 = 0
=> x² + 13x – 12x – 156 = 0
=> x(x + 13) – 12(x + 13) = 0
=> (x + 13) (x – 12) = 0
Either x + 13 = 0 => x = – 13, rejected as it is not natural number.
or x – 12 = 0 => x = 12
∴ Consecutive numbers are 12 and 13.
