21. 66 = 2 × 3 × 11
88 = 23 × 11 1
110 = 2 × 5 × 11
HCF = 2 × 11 = 22 ½
 Total Trees = 264
264
∴ Total number of rows = 22 = 12 ½

22. Sum of zeroes = 𝛼 + 𝛽 = −(−1) = 1 ½

Product of zeroes = 𝛼𝛽 = −2

Sum of other zeroes = (2𝛼 + 1) + (2𝛽 + 1) = 2(𝛼 + 𝛽) + 2 = 4 ½

Product of other zeroes = (2𝛼 + 1) × (2𝛽 + 1) = 2(𝛼 + 𝛽) + 4𝛼𝛽 + 1 = −5

∴𝑘=2
23. ∠𝐷𝐸𝐵 = ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 = 90° ½
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = 90° − ∠𝐷𝐵𝐸 ½
Also, ∠𝐵𝐷𝐸 = 90° − ∠𝐷𝐵𝐸
⟹ ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐷𝐸 ½
So, ∆𝐵𝐷𝐸~∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ½

OR

Also, ∠𝐵 = ∠𝑄 (as ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶~∆𝑃𝑄𝑅) ½

𝐴𝐵 𝐴𝐷
So, ∆𝐴𝐵𝐷~∆𝑃𝑄𝑀 ⟹ 𝑃𝑄 = 𝑃𝑀
½

24. 𝐷𝑅 = 𝐷𝑆 = 5 𝑐𝑚
⟹ 𝐴𝑅 = 𝐴𝐷 − 𝐷𝑅 = 18 𝑐𝑚 ½
𝐴𝑄 = 𝐴𝑅 = 18 𝑐𝑚
⟹ 𝑄𝐵 = 29 − 18 = 11 𝑐𝑚 ½
In quad. 𝑂𝑄𝐵𝑃, ∠𝐵 = 90° and ∠𝑂𝑄𝐵 = ∠𝑂𝑃𝐵 = 90°
∴ 𝑂𝑄𝐵𝑃 is a square
½

So, 𝑟 = 11 𝑐𝑚 ½

SECTION C
Section C consists of 6 questions of 3 marks each
26. Let us assume that 5 + 6√7 is rational
𝑝
Let 5 + 6√7 = ; 𝑞 ≠ 0 and 𝑝, 𝑞 are integers ½
𝑞
⟹ √7 =
𝑝−5𝑞 1
6𝑞
𝑝 and 𝑞 are integers, ∴ 𝑝 − 5𝑞 is an integer ½
𝑝−5𝑞
is a rational number ½
6𝑞
⟹ √7 is a rational number which is a contradiction. So, our assumption that 5 + 6√7
is a rational number is wrong
Hence 5 + 6√7 is an irrational number. ½
27. Let the length and breadth of rectangle be 𝑥 𝑚 and 𝑦 𝑚 respectively
∴ (𝑥 + 5)(𝑦 − 4) = 𝑥𝑦 − 160 and (𝑥 − 10)(𝑦 + 2) = 𝑥𝑦 − 100 ½+½
⟹ 4𝑥 − 5𝑦 = 140 and 2𝑥 − 10𝑦 = −80 ½+½
Solving, we get 𝑥 = 60 and 𝑦 = 20 1
So, length of rectangle = 60 𝑚
Breadth of rectangle = 20 𝑚

OR
Let the two numbers be 𝑥 and 𝑦(𝑥 > 𝑦)
1
∴ 2𝑥 − 16 = 2 𝑦 ⟹ 4𝑥 − 𝑦 = 32 … (1) 1
1 1 1
and 2 𝑥 − 1 = 2 𝑦 ⟹ 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 2 … (1)
Solving, we get 𝑥 = 10 and 𝑦 = 8 1
Hence the two numbers are 10 and 8

28. ∠𝑃𝑇𝑄 = 𝜃
Now, 𝑇𝑃 = 𝑇𝑄 ⟹ 𝑇𝑃𝑄 is an isosceles triangle ½
1 1
∠𝑇𝑃𝑄 = ∠𝑇𝑄𝑃 = 2 (180° − 𝜃) = 90° − 2 𝜃 1
∠𝑂𝑃𝑇 = 90° ⟹ ∠𝑂𝑃𝑄 = ∠𝑂𝑃𝑇 − ∠𝑇𝑃𝑄
1 1
= 90° − (90° − 𝜃) = 𝜃 1
2 2

OR
If sin 𝑥 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝑥 = 2, then find the value of 𝑠𝑖𝑛19 𝑥 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 20 𝑥
sin 𝑥 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝑥 = 2 1
 1
⟹ sin 𝑥 + sin 𝑥 = 2 ⟹ 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 + 1 = 2 sin 𝑥 1
⟹ (sin 𝑥 − 1)2 = 0 ½
∴ sin 𝑥 = 1 ⟹ 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝑥 = 1

So, 𝑠𝑖𝑛19 𝑥 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 20 𝑥 = 1 + 1 = 2 ½
