22. ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle.

∴ ∠ A= ∠𝐶 = 45° ½ 2
In ∆ AQP and ∆ CTS

23. ∠ QPR+∠QOR = 180° ½ 2

∠QOR=130° ½
In ∆ OQR,
∠QOR+ ∠OQR + ∠ORQ = 180° ½
2 ∠OQR= 50°
∴ ∠OQR= 25° ½

26. Let
2√3+5
be rational.
7

Therefore
2√3+5 𝑝
=𝑞 , for integers p and q , q≠0 ½
7
7𝑝−5𝑞
∴ √3= 2𝑞 1 3
since 7p, 5qand 2𝑞 are all integers,
7𝑝−5𝑞
So is rational. So √3 is also rational. 1
2𝑞

But it contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational.

This contradiction has arisen because of our
2√3+5
incorrect assumption that is rational.
7
½
2√3+5
So we conclude that is irrational.

28. Let number of rows be x and ½

3
number of students in each row be y,
(x-2) (y+1) = xy—(i) 1
(x+3) (y-1) =xy---(ii)
∴ x-2y=2 ; x-3y= -3, ½
½
By solving the equations, x= 12 and y= 5
∴ number of students in the class= 12×5= 60 ½
OR
Let number of people in balcony be x

Number of people in rear stall be y
x+y= 800—(i) 1 3
100x+75y= 67500—(ii)

½

By SSS congruency,
1
∆DOS ≅ ∆DOR ∴ ∠1 = ∠2
Similarly, ∠3 = ∠4, ∠5 = ∠6, ∠7= ∠8 ½
∠1 + ∠2+ ∠3 + ∠4+ ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7+∠8 + ∠9= 360°
½
∴ 2(∠2+ ∠3 +∠6 + ∠7) = 360
 ∴ ∠ AOB+∠COD = 180° ½
OR

Since TP=TQ−(1)
∴ ∠TQP=∠TPQ (angles of equal sides are equal) −−−(2) ½
∴ OP⊥TP (Tangent at any point of circle is
perpendicular to the radius through point of contact)
∴ ∠OPT=90° ½
∴ ∠OPQ+∠TPQ=90°
∴∠TPQ=90°−∠OPQ−−−(3) ½
In △PTQ
∠TPQ+∠PQT+∠QTP=180° (Angle sum property of ½
triangle)
90∘−∠OPQ+∠PQT+∠QTP=180°
2(90°−∠OPQ) +∠QTP=180 [from (2) and (3)] ½
180°−2∠OPQ+∠PTQ=180° ½
∴ 2∠OPQ=∠PTQ−−−− proved

⇒ (x+30)(x−20)=0 ⇒ x=-30, x=20
The value of x cannot be negative.
∴ Forward speed will be 20km/hr ½
