Case Study Questions

26 A quiz competition is a special assessment conducted by the school, colleges, public or private
organizations, businesses, or even individuals to check the participants' general knowledge about a
particular subject or different subjects.
In a quiz contest three prizes are to be distributed. If the first prize is Rs. t , answer the following
questions
(i) The value of the second prize is five- sixths of the first prize, find the expression for the
second prize.
(ii) If the value of the third prize is four-fifths that of the second prize, find the expression for
the third prize.
(iii) If the total value of the three prizes Rs. 3000, find the value of each prize.

14. Assertion and statement are true and but reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.
15. Any rational number between -21/28 and 8/28
16. Let one angle be = x
Therefore adjacent angle = 2x
x+2x = 180 (sum of adjacent angles = 180)
3x = 180
X = 60
Four angles are 60, 120, 60 and 120.

PR = 10cm , SQ = 24cm
Diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular bisectors.
OP=OR=5cm, SO=OQ= 12cm
In right triangle OPQ,
PQ2 = OP2 + OQ2
PQ2 = 52 + 122
PQ2 = 25+ 144
PQ = √169 = 13cm

20. Given:-
ABCD is a parallelogram, and AE and CF bisect ∠A and ∠C respectively.
To prove:- AE∥CF
Proof:-
Since in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
∴∠A=∠C
⇒1/2∠A=1/2∠C

⇒∠EAF=∠FCE⟶(1)
Now, AB∥CD and CY is the transversal. So,
∠FCE=∠BFC⟶(2) [ alternate interior angles]

Page 4 of 6
 From eqn (1) & (2), we have
∠EAF=∠BFC
Transversal AB intersects AE and FC at A and F such that ∠EAF=∠BFC
⇒AE∥FC [ by corresponding angles]
Hence proved.

21. 12348 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7
So multiply by 2 x 3 = 6
22. Let Rukmani has x toffees
Toffees given to Sudha = x/2
Toffees left = x- x/2
= x/2
Now, x/2 = 7
X = 7x2 = 14
Total toffees = 14
23. A square is a rhombus
Because, 1. rhombus have all sides equal
2. it has opposite angles equal
3. its diagonals perpendicularly bisect each other.
A rectangle
Because, 1. Rectangle have opposite sides equal and parallel
2. its all angles are equal and are of 90o each.
3. Its diagonals are equal and bisect each other

A quadrilateral

Because, 1. It has four sides.
