Explanation: We know that,
(a + b)(a - b) = a2 - b2
So, here
(3 + √3)(3 - √3) = 32 - (√3)2
– – –

⇒ 9 - 3 = 6

2. (a) y = 5x + 3
Explanation: Taxi fare for first kilometer = ₹8
Taxi fare for subsequent distance = ₹5
Total distance covered = x
Total fare = y
Since the fare for first kilometer = ₹8
According to problem, Fare for (x - 1) kilometer = 5(x - 1)
So, the total fare y = 5(x - 1) + 8
⇒ y = 5(x - 1) + 8

⇒ y = 5x – 5 + 8

⇒ y = 5x + 3

Hence, y = 5x + 3 is the required linear equation.

3. (a) (−, −)
Explanation: The signs of abscissa and ordinate of a point in quadrant III are both —ve,
i.e, in quadrant III co-ordinates Of point is (—,—).
4. (a) X-axis
Explanation: Histogram states that a two dimensional frequency density diagram is called as a histogram. The histograms are
diagrams which represent the class interval and the frequency in the form of a rectangle. There will be as many adjoining
rectangles as there are class intervals.
5.
(b) 1
Explanation: If the line represented by the equation 3x + ky = 9 passes through the points (2, 3) then (2, 3) will satisy the
equation 3x + ky = 9
3 (2) + 3k = 9
⇒ 6 + 3k = 9

⇒ 3k = 9 - 6

⇒ 3k = 3

⇒ k=1

Explanation: a solid shape also has a depth.solids by their nature have an inside and an outside separated by a surface. that's
why solid is a three dimensional struture. it has length, breadth and depth.
7.
(c) 18°
Explanation: In the given figure, we have x°.y° and z° forming a linear pair, therefore these must be supplementary.
That is,
x + y + z = 180o ...(1)
Also,

x =

x = 18o

8. (a) 112o
Explanation:
Let angles of parallelogram are ∠ A, ∠ B, ∠ C, ∠ D

Let smallest angle = ∠ A

Let largest angle = ∠ B
= ∠ B = 2∠ A – 24o ...(i)
∠ A + ∠ B = 180o [adjacent angle of parallelogram]
So, ∠ A + 2∠ A -24o = 180o
= 3∠ A = 180o + 24o = 204o
= 68o
o

= ∠A = 204

= ∠ B = 2 × 68o - 24o = 112o

10. (a) 2x – 5y = 0
Explanation: In linear equation power of variable x and y should be 1 and here, the given linear equation has two variable x
and y.
11. (a) 4 cm
Explanation: A quadrilateral with both pair of opposite angles equal is a parallelogram.
In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal.
So, AB = CD = 4 cm
12.
(d) A Parallelogram
Explanation: By mid point theorem, DE is parallel to BC. In triangle BOA, DP parallel to OA and OA is parallel to QE in
triangle AOC( mid point theorem) because D and P are mid points in triangle BOA and E and Q are mid points in triangle
AOC.
So, DP is parallel to EQ. In quadrilateral DPQE, both pair of opposite sides are parallel. So, it become parallelogram.

Then, y = (3×2) – 4
y =6–4 = 2, so point is (2, 2)satisfied the given equation,
Hence point (2, 2) will lie on the line y = 3x - 4
16.

Explanation: In a triangle, if two of its angles are equal then the sides opposite to equal angles are also equal.
In △PQR, ∠ R = ∠ P
⇒ QR (side opposite to ∠ P) = PQ (side opposite to ∠ R)

Given that, QR = 4 cm
⇒ PQ = 4 cm

20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Putting (1, 1) in the given equation, we have
L.H.S = 1 + 1 = 2 = R.H.S
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence (1, 1) satisfy the x + y = 2. So it is the solution of x + y = 2.

OR
Given that, Distance (OC) = 5 cm
Radius of circle (OA) = 10 cm
In △OCA, by using Pythagoras theorem
AC2 + OC2 = OA2
AC2 + 52 = 102
AC2 = 100 - 25
AC2 = 75
AC = 8.66 cm
We know that,
The perpendicular from centre to chord bisects the chord
Therefore, AC = BC = 8.66 cm
Then, Chord AB = 8.66 + 8.66
= 17.32 cm.
25. x-2y=4
Put x = 2 and y = 0 in given equation, we get
x – 2y = 2 – 2(0) = 2 – 0 = 2, which is not 4.

∠EAD = ∠EF B …......................(2) [ Alt. ∠s]

Therefore, from (1) and (2), we obtain
∠BAE = ∠EF B

∴ BF = AB [∵ Sides opposite to equal ∠S are equal]

⇒ BF = 10 cm [∵ AB = 10 cm]

⇒ y = 180o - 55o = 125o
So, x = y = 125o
Since AB || CD and CD || EF.
∴ AB || EF

⇒ ∠ EAB + ∠ FEA = 180o [∵ Interior angles on the same side of the transversal EA are supplementary]

Let two lines AB and CD intersect at point O.

To prove: ∠AOC = ∠BOD (vertically opposite angles )

Proof: (i) Since, ray OA stands on the line CD.

⇒ ∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180 °…(1)[Linear pair axiom]

Also, ray OD stands on the line AB.

∠AOD + ∠BOD = 180 …(2) [Linear pair axiom ]

From equations (1) and (2), we get

∠AOC + ∠AOD = ∠AOD + ∠BOD

⇒ ∠AOC = ∠BOD

Hence, proved.

∴ ∠AOD + ∠BOD = 180 …(3) [Linear pair axiom]

Also, ray OB stands on the line CD.

∴ ∠DOB + ∠BOC = 180 …(4) [linear pair axiom ]

A teacher is a person whose professional activity involves planning, organizing, and conducting group activities to develop
student's knowledge, skills, and attitudes as stipulated by educational programs. Teachers may work with students as a whole
class, in small groups or one-to-one, inside or outside regular classrooms. In this indicator, teachers are compared by their average

8 / 11
 age and work experience measured in years.
For the same in 2015, the following distribution of ages (in years) of primary school teachers in a district was collected to evaluate
the teacher on the above-mentioned criterion.

(i) No of teachers in the age-group 15-20 years = 10

No of teachers in the age-group 20-25 years = 30
No of teachers in the age-group 25-30 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 30-35 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 35-40 years = 30
No of teachers in the age-group 40-45 years = 5
No of teachers in the age-group 45-50 years = 2
Thus the total no of teachers

(iii)No of teachers in the age-group 25 - 30 years = 50

No of teachers in the age-group 30 - 35 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 35 - 40 years = 30
Thus the no of teachers in the age range 25 - 40 years
= 50 + 50 + 30 = 130
OR
From the observation of the bar chart we find that :
No of teachers in the age-group 25-30 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 30-35 years = 50
Thus the no of teacher in the class 25-30 and 30-35 is equal

⇒ 25 = AP2 + 16
⇒ AP2 = 25 − 16 = 9
⇒ AP = 3

Total height of the tree = AP + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8 m
