150 + 100 − 150
1. Sum of the A.P = 0 last term = - first term
⇒ r = -78 (OR)
-78 = 78+(n-1) × (−6) 1
n = 27. Hence order of r = 27. Alternately it takes = 30min

2. Multiplying both sides by abc, we get, + −
bc + ac + ab = 0 ……..(1) 20 30 20
Also, (a + b + c)2 = 92 7. Area of triangle XYZ = ½ × 8 × 8 x sin 600 =
a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ac) = 81 ……..(2) 27.712 cm2
Substituting (1) in (2) The area of 3 minor sectors = 3 × π 22 × 60/360
a2 + b2 + c2 = 81 = 6.284 cm2
we have , a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)( a2 + ⇒ The required shaded area = 27.712 cm2 –
b2 + c2 – ab – ac -bc) 6.284 cm2 = 21.428 cm2
L.H.S. = (9)(81-0) 8. Sum of the angles of pentagon = 5400 Hence
a3 + b3 +c3 – 3abc = 729 Area = (540/360) × πr2
3. BAF = (6-2) × 1800 /6 = 1200
BAR = (5-2) × 1800 / 5 = 1080 3x − 4 3x − 4 3x − 4
FAR + BAF + BAR = 3600 (angles at a pt) 9. ≤1⇒ ≤ 1 Or 1 ≤ ⇒ -2

x − x +1
4. We have k = than the third side.
2 So x + xr > xr2, x + xr2 > xr, xr + xr2 > x
x + x +1
⇒ kx + kx + k = x2 – x + 1
2 Solving these equations we get r cannot be 1.65.
⇒ (k - 1)x2 + (k + 1)x + k –1 = 0 11. Consider one small square. The shaded region
As x is real, the discriminant D = (k + 1)2 – 4(k in this square is 2 (one fourth of equal circle)
