a = 1, b = k, c = 64
D = b2 - 4ac = k2 - 4 × 1 × 64
= k2 - 256
∵ The roots are real
∴ D ≥ 0 ⇒ k2 ≥ (± 16)2
⇒ k ≥ 16 .....(i)

Only positive value is taken.

Now in second equation
x2 - 8x + k = 0
D =(-8)2 - 4 × 1 × k = 64 - 4k
∵ Roots are real

∴ D ≥ 0 ⇒ 64 − 4k ≥ 0 ⇒ 64 ≥ 4k

Section B
21. We have to find the greatest number which divides 85 and 72 leaving remainder 1 and 2 respectively.
Let assume that x be the greatest number which divides 85 and 72 leaving remainder 1 and 2 respectively.
So, it means
x divides 85 - 1 = 84
and
x divides 72 - 2 = 70
So, from this we concluded that
= x divides 84 and 70
= x = HCF (84, 70)
Now, to find HCF(84, 70), we use method of prime factorization.
Prime factors of 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
Prime factors of 70 = 2 × 5 × 7
So,
= HCF (84, 70) = 2 × 7 = 14
= x = 14
Hence, 14 is the greatest number which divides 85 and 72 leaving remainder 1 and 2 respectively.
22. In △AEP and △ADB, we have
AEP= ∠ ADB .........(1) [Each equal to 900]
∠ EAP=∠ DAB ..... (2) [Common angle]

In view of (1) and (2),

△AEP∼△ADB [AA similarity criterion]

23.

Since tangents drawn from an exterior point to a circle are equal in length.
AP = AS [From A] ...(i)
BP = BQ [FromB] ...(ii)
CR = CQ [From C] ...(iii)
and, DR = DS [From D] ...(iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get
AP + BP + CR+DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
⇒ (AP + BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS + DS)+(BQ + CQ)

⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC

Hence, AB + CD = BC + DA

24. sin θ + cos θ = √3
squaring both sides
sin2 θ + cos2 θ + 2 sin θ cos θ = 3
⇒ 1 + 2 sin θ cos θ = 3
⇒ sin θ cos θ = 1

OR
–
tan(A + B) = √3

tan (A + B) = tan60°
A + B = 60°. ...(i)
tan (A - B) = 1
tan (A- B) = tan 45°
A - B = 45°.........(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
A = (52.5)° and B = (7.5)°.
Hence, A = (52.5)° and B = (7.5)°.

Let the length of the shortest side be x metres.
As per given condition
The hypotenuse of a grassy land in the shape of a right triangle is 1 metre more than twice the shortest side.
So, Hypotenuse = (2x + 1) metres
And if the third side is 7 metres more than the shortest side
So, third side = (x + 7) metres.
By Pythagoras theorem, we have
(Hypotenuse)2 = Sum of the squares of the remaining two sides
⇒ (2x + 1)2 = x2 + (x + 7)2
⇒ 4x2 + 4x + 1 = x2 + x2 + 14x + 49
⇒ 4x2 + 4x + 1 = 2x2 + 14x + 49
⇒ 2x2 - 10x - 48 = 0
⇒ x2 - 5x - 24 = 0
⇒ x2 - 8x + 3x - 24 = 0
⇒ x(x − 8) + 3(x − 8) = 0

⇒ (x - 8) (x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = 8 , - 3

⇒ x = 8 [∵ x = -3 is not possible]

Hence, the lengths of the sides of the grassy land are 8 metres, 17 metres and 15 metres.

Let D be the centre of the circle.

A, D, B, P all are on the same line and P and C are points on the tangent.
Now, ∠BCA is inscribed in a semi-circle, ∠BC A = 90 ∘

C is the point on the circle where the tangent touches the circle.
So, ∠DCP = 90 ∘

∠PCA = ∠PCD + ∠DCA

⇒ 110o = 90o + ∠DCA

∘
⇒ ∠DC A = 20

In △ADC,
AD = DC .... (Radii of the same circle)
∘
⇒ ∠DC A = ∠C AD = 20

ADB = ADC [Each 90 ]

∴ △ADB ≅△ADC

∴ AC passes through O,centre of the circle

∴ Perpendicular bisector of the chord passes through the centre of the circle
Now OA ⊥ PQ (radius through the point of contact)
∴ ∠ PAO = 90o
Also ADB = 90 o

Section D
32. Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr and the actual time taken be y hours. Then,
Distance covered = (xy) km ... (i) [∵ Distance = Speed × Time]
If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced by 4 hours i.e., when speed is (x + 6) km/hr, time of journey
is (y - 4) hours.
∴ Distance covered = (x + 6) (y - 4)
⇒ xy = (x + 6) (y - 4) [Using (i)]

⇒ -4x + 6y - 24 = 0

⇒ -2.x + 3y - 12 = 0 ... (ii)

When the speed is reduced by 6 km/hr, then the time of journey is increased by 6 hours i.e., when speed is (x - 6) km/hr, time of
journey is (y + 6) hours.
∴ Distance covered = (x - 6) (y + 6)
⇒ xy = (x - 6) (y + 6) [Using (i)]

⇒ 6x - 6y - 36 = 0

⇒ x - y - 6 = 0 ... (iii)

Thus, we obtain the following system of equations:

- 2x + 3y - 12 = 0
x-y- 6 = 0
By using cross-multiplication, we have,
x −y 1
= =
3×−6−(−1)×−12 −2×−6−1×−12 −2×−1−1×3

x −y 1
⇒ = =
−30 24 −1

⇒ x = 30 and y = 24.
Putting the values of x and y in equation (i), we obtain
Distance = (30 × 24) km = 720 km.
Hence, the length of the journey is 720 km.

Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr.
Case I Distance covered by train = 250 km.
Distance covered by car = (370 - 250) km = 120 km.
