1. (a) . Solution:
√3x2 – 2x – 8√3 = 0
⇒ √3x2 – 6x + 4x – 8√3 = 0
⇒ √3x(x – 2/3) + 4 (x – 2/3) = 0
⇒ (x – 2√3)(√3x + 4) = 0
⇒ Either (x – 2√3) = 0 or (√3x + 4) = 0
⇒ x = −4/3, 2√3.
(OR)

2. Solution:
(i) For x2 + kx + 64 = 0 to have real roots
⇒ k2 – 4(1)(64) ≥ 0 i.e., k2 – 256 ≥ 0
⇒ k ≥ ± 16
(ii) For x2 – 8x + k = 0 to have real roots
⇒ (-8)2 – 4(k) ≥ 0 i.e., 64 – 4k ≥ 0
⇒ k ≤ ± 16
For (i) and (ii) to hold simultaneously k = 16.
3. Solution:
4. Solution:
Given: sn = 3n2 +6n
sn-1 = 3(n – 1)2 + 6(n – 1)
⇒ 3(n2 + 1 – 2n) + 6n – 6
⇒ 3n2 + 3 – 6n + 6n – 6 = 3n2 – 3
The nth term will be an
sn = sn-1 + an
an = sn – sn-1
⇒ 3n2 + 6n – 3n2 + 3
⇒ 6n + 3
5. Solution:
Let AD = AF = x
∴ DB = BE = 12 – x
and CF = CE = 10 – x
BC = BE + EC
⇒ 8 = 12 – x + 10 – x
⇒x=7
∴ AD = 7 cm, BE = 12 – 7 = 5 cm, CF = 10 – 7 = 3 cm.
6. Solution:
Let LM be tangent drawn at the point P on the circle with centre O. Join OP. If possible, let
PQ be perpendicular to LM, not passing through O.
Now, since tangent at a point to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point.
∴ OP ⊥ LM ⇒ ∠OPM = 90°
Also, ∠QPM = 90° (as assumed above)
∴ ∠OPM = ∠QPM,
which is possible only when points O and Q coincide
Hence, the perpendicular at the point of contact to tangent to a circle passes through the
centre.

7. Solution:
Given: AP and AQ are two tangents from a point A to a circle C (O, r).
To Prove: AP = AQ
Construction: Join OP, OQ and OA.
Proof: In order to prove that AP = AQ, we shall first prove that ∆OPA ≅ ∆OQA.
Since a tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of
contact.
∴ OP ⊥ AP and OQ ⊥ AQ
⇒ ∠OPA = ∠OQA = 90°
Now, in right triangles OPA and OQA, we have
OP = OQ [Radii of a circle]
∠OPA = ∠OQA [Each 90°]
and OA = OA [Common]
So, by RHS-criterion of congruence, we get
∆OPA ≅ OQA
⇒ AP = AQ [CPCT]
Hence, lengths of two tangents from an external point are equal.

Hence, PA : PB = 3 : 4
SECTION – C
11. Solution:
Let ∆ABC be drawn to circumscribe a circle with centre O and radius 4 cm and circle touches
the sides BC, CA and AB at D, E and 6 cm F respectively.
We have given that CD = 6 cm and BD = 8 cm
∴ BF = BD = 8 cm and CE = CD = 6 cm
{Length of two tangents drawn from an external point of circle are equal}
Now, let AF = AE = x cm
Then, AB = c = (x + 8) cm, BC = a = 14 cm, CA = b = (x + 6) cm
2s = (x + 8) + 14 + (x + 6) 25 = 2x + 28 or s = x + 14
s – a = (x + 14) – 14 = x
s – b = (x + 14) – (x + 6) = 8s – c = (x + 14) – (x + 8) = 6
Steps of Construction:
Draw BC = 8 cm.
From B draw an angle of 90°.
Draw an arc BA = 6 cm cutting the angle at A.
Join AC. ∴ ∆ABC is the required ∆.
Draw ⊥ bisector of BC cutting BC at M.
Take M as centre and BM as radius, draw a circle.
Take A as centre and AB as radius draw an arc cutting the circle at E. Join AE.
AB and AE are the required tangents.
