number. Then x +

Here the powers of variable are whole number. therefore the given expression is a
polynomial.

5. If (x + 2) and (x - 1) are factors of the polynomial p(x) = x3 + 10x2 + mx + n then:

(A) m = 5, n = -3 (B) m = 7, n = -18 (C) m = 17, n = -8 (D) m = 23, n = -19
Ans. :
b. m = 7, n = -18
Solution:
Let f(x) = x3 + 10x2 + mx + n
Now, x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -2
and x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
By factor theorem,
f(-2) = 0
⇒ (-2)3 + 10(-2)2 + m(-2) + n
⇒ -8 + 40 - 2m + n = 0
⇒ 2m - n = 32 ...(i)
By factor theorem,
f(1) = 0

[2]
 ⇒ (1)3 + 10(1)2 + m(1) + n = 0
⇒ m + n = -11 ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
3m = 21
⇒m=7
Substituting in (ii), we get
n = -18

6. If (x − 1) is a factor of polynomial f(x) but not of g(x) , then it must be a factor of:
(A) f(x)g(x) (B) -f(x) + g(x) (C) f(x) - g(x) (D) {f(x) + g(x)}g(x)
Ans. :
a. f(x)g(x)
Solution:
If x - 1 is a factor of f(x) then definitely f(1) = 0
And,
x - 1 is not a factor of g(x), then g(1) ≠ 0.

So, at x = 1
a. f(1)g(1) = 0 × g(1) = 0
b. -f(1) + g(1) = 0 + g(1) = g(1) ≠ 0
c. f(1) - g(1) = 0 - g(1) = -g(1) ≠ 0
d. {f(1) + g(1)}g(1) = {0 + g(1)}g(1) = {g(1)}2 ≠ 0
So, at x = 1 only, f(x)g(x) = 0
Thus, (x - 1) is factor of f(x)g(x) too.

7. If x3 + 6x2 + 4x +k is exactly divisible by x + 2 then k =

(A) -8 (B) -7 (C) -6 (D) -10

Ans. :
b. -8
Solution:
-8
f(x) = x3 + 6x2 + 4x + k
f(-2) = 0
∴ (-2)3 + 6(-2)2 + 4(-2) + k = 0
∴ -8 + 6(4) + (-8) + k = 0
24 - 16 + k = 0
k+8=0
k = -8

8. Which of the following is a quadratic polynomial?

(A) x3 + x (B) x3 + 2x + 6 (C) x + 4 (D) x2 + 5x + 4

Ans. :
d. x2 + 5x + 4

(A) In the IV quadrant. (B) In the II quadrant. (C) On the x-axis (D) On the y-axis

Ans. :
d. On the y-axis
Solution:
Every point on the y-axis is of the form (0, a)

(A) 3 units (B) 4 units (C) 5 units (D) 6 units

Ans. :

(A) Definitions. (B) Theorems. (C) Universal truths (D) Universal truths in
specific to geometry. all branches of
mathematics.

Ans. :
d. Universal truths in all branches of mathematics.
Solution:
Axioms are assumed as universal truths in all branches of mathematics because they
are taken for granted, without proof.

13. If △PQR ≅ △EFD, then ED =

(A) PQ (B) QR (C) PR (D) None of these
Ans. :
c. PR
Solution:
△PQR ≅ △EFD,

Hence, correct option is (c)

14. In Fig. ABC ids an isosceles triangle whose side AC is produced to E. Through C, CD is
drawn parallel to BA. The value of x is:
(A) 52º (B) 76º (C) 156º
(D) 104º

[4]
 Ans. :
d. 104º
Solution:

△ABC is isosceles
∘
∠ABC = ∠ACB = 52
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
then ∠BAC = 180 − 52 − 52 = 76

If AB∥CD, AC is transversal
then ∠BAC = ∠ACD (alternate angles)
∘
⇒ ∠ACD = 76

Now from figure,

∘ ∘
∠ACD + x = 180
∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ x = 180 − 76
∘ ∘
⇒ x = 104

Hence, correct option is (d).

(A) Parallelogram. (B) Rhombus. (C) Trapezium. (D) Rectangle.

Ans. :

a. A finite decimal.
b. 1.41421.
c. Non - terminating recurring.
d. Non - terminating non - recurring.

Ans. :
d. Non - terminating non - recurring.
Solution:
–
The decimal expansion of the number √2 is non-terminating non - recurring.
–
Because √2 is an irrational number.
Also, we know that an irrational number is non - terminating non - recurring.

[5]
 a. On the x-axis.
b. In the second quadrant.
c. On the y-axis.
d. In the fourth quadrant.

Ans. :
d. In the fourth quadrant.
Solution:
In Point (0, -7) co-ordinate of x axis is zero so it lies on y axis.

18. In the following, write the correct answer.

It is given that △ABC = △FDE and AB = 5 cm, ∠B = 40°and ∠A = 80°then which
of the following is true?
i. DF = 5CM, ∠F = 60
∘

ii. DF = 5CM, ∠E = 60
∘

iii. DE = 5CM, ∠E = 60
∘

iv.
∘
DE = 5CM, ∠D = 40

Ans. :
b. DF = 5CM, ∠E = 60
∘

Solution:
∘
Given △ABC = △FDE and AB = 5cm, ∠B = 40°, ∠A = 80

Since, △ABC = △FDE DF = AB

DF = 5cm
∠E = ∠C
∘
∠E = ∠C = 180 − (∠A + ∠B)
∘ ∘ ∘
∠E = 180 − (80 + 40 )
∘
∠E = 60

21. Verify : x3 - y3 = (x - y)(x2 + xy + y2)

Ans. : We know that

(x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y) {Using Identity (a – b)3= a3– b3– 3ab (a – b)}
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y)3 + 3xy(x - y)
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y){(x - y)2 + 3xy}
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y)(x2 - 2xy + y2 + 3xy)
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y)(x2 + xy+ y2)

∠BAC = ∠ABD

∠AMC = ∠BMD

In △AMC and △BMD,

Hence, we get a = 3, b = 2.

28. Factorize:
x2 - 1 - 2a - a 2

Ans. : The given expression to be factorized is x2 - 1 - 2a - a2

Take common -1 from the last three terms and then we have
x2 - 1 - 2a - a 2
= x2 - (1 + 2a + a 2 )
= x2 - {(1)2 + 2.1.a + (a)2 }
= x2 - (1 + a)2
= (x)2 - (1 + a)2
= {x + (1 + a)}{x - (1 + a)}
= (x + 1 + a)(x - 1 - a)
We cannot further factorize the expression.
So, the required factorization is x2 - 1 - 2a - a 2 = (x + 1 + a)(x - 1 - a).

29. Factorize:
a 2 + 4b2 - 4ab - 4c2

Ans. : The given expression to be factorized is:

a 2 + 4b2 - 4ab - 4c2
This can be arrange in the form
a 2 + 4b2 - 4ab - 4c2
= (a 2 - 4ab + 4b2 ) - 4c2
= {(a)2 - 2.a.2b + (2b)2 } - 4c2
= (a - 2b)2 - 4c2
Substitute x = (a - 2b)

[9]
 a 2 + 4b2 - 4ab - 4c2 = x2 - 4c2
= x2 - (2c)2
= (x + 2c)(x - 2c)
Put x = (a - 2b)
a 2 + 4b2 - 4ab - 4c2 = {(a - 2b) + 2c}{(a - 2b) - 2c}
= (a - 2b + 2c)(a - 2b - 2c)
we cannot further factorize the expresion.
So, the required factorization of a 2 + 4b2 - 4ab - 4c2 is (a - 2b + 2c)(a - 2b - 2c)

30. Define supplementary angles.

Ans. : supplementary Angles: Two angles, the sum of whose measures is 180°, are
called suppplementary angles.
Thus,
angles ∠BAC and ∠DAC are aupplementary angles.
If x + y = 180°

Example 1: Angles of measure 50° and 130° are supplementary angles, because
50° + 130° = 180°
Example 2: Angles of measure 60° and 120° are supplementary angles, because
60° + 120° = 180°

31. Two lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 270 , find the
measure of ∠AOC, ∠COB, ∠BOD and ∠DOA.

Ans. :
Given:
∘
∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 270

To find:
∠AOC, ∠COB, ∠BOD, ∠DOA

Here,
∘
∠AOC, ∠COB, ∠BOD = 270 [Complete angle]
⇒ 270 + AOD = 360
⇒ AOD = 360 - 270

[10]
 ⇒ AOD = 90
Now,
AOD + BOD = 180 [Linear pair]
90 + BOD = 180
⇒ BOD = 180 - 90
⇒ BOD = 90
AOD = BOC = 90 [Vertically opposite angles]
BOD = AOC = 90 [Vertically opposite angles]

32. Plot the points A(1, -1) and B(4, 5):
i. Draw a line segment joining these points. Write the coordinates of a point on
this line segment between the points A and B.
ii. Extend this line segment and write the coordinates of a point on this line which
lies outside the line segment AB.

Ans. : In point A(1, -1), x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative, so it lies in IV
quadrant. In point B(4, 5), both coordinates are positive, so it lies in I quadrant. On plotting
these point, we get the following graph.

i. On joining the points A and B, we get the line segment AB. Now, to find the
coordinates of a point on this line segment between A and B draw a perpendicular
to X-axis from x = 2 and 3. [since, x = 2 and 3 lies between A and B] say it
intersect line segment AB at P and p’. Now, draw a perpendicular to Y-axis from P
and p’, they intersect Y axis at y = 1 and 3, respectively. Thus, we get points (2,1)
and (3, 3) which lie between line segment AB.
ii. Extent the line segment AB. Now, draw a perpendicular to X-axis from x = 5, say it
intersects extended line segment at Q. Again, draw a perpendicular to Y-axis from
Q and it intersects Y-axis at y = 7. Thus, we get the point Q(5,7) which lies outside
the line segment AB.

c. (x - 1 + y)(x2 - 1 - y2 + x + y + xy)
d. 3(x + y - 1)(x2 + y2 - 1)

Ans. :
d. (x - 1 + y)(x2 + 1 + y2 + x + y - xy)
Solution:
By using identity
a 3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a 2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)
We can write,
x3 - 1 + y3 + 3xy
= (x3 ) + (-1)3 + (y3 ) - 3(-1)(x)(y)
= [x + (-1) + y][x2 + (-1)2 + y2 - x(-1) - y(-1) - xy]
= (x - 1 + y)(x2 + 1 + y2 + x + y - xy)
Hence, correct option is (a).

a. (a - b)(b - c)(c - a)
b. 3(a - b)(b - c)(c - a)
c. -3(a - b)(b - c)(c - a)

[12]
 d. (a + b + c)(a 2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)

Ans. :
b. 3(a - b)(b - c)(c - a)
Solution:
By we know that a 3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a 2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)
If a + b + c = 0, then
a 3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
In given expression,
Let a - b = A, b - c = B, c - a = C
Now, a - b + b - c + c - a = 0
i.e. A + B + C = 0
⇒ A 3 + B3 + C3 = 3ABC
⇒ (a - b)3 + (b - c)3 + (c - a)3 = 3(a - b)(b - c)(c - a)
Hence, correct option is (b).

37. Read the Source/ Text given below and answer these questions:
Reeta and Rohan were playing a game on parallel lines and the angles formed with the
transverse line(ie alternate angles, corresponding angle and interior angles). First Reeta
drew a straight line AB, then Rohan drew another straight line CD || AB. Further, a
transverse line PQ was drawn which intersects lines AB and CD at points X and Y
respectively.

Now they did toss with a coin and Rohan won the toss. Following were the rules of the
game:
i. Toss winner will ask a question and others will answer.
ii. If the answer is correct then person answering will ask question else questioner
will ask next question.
iii. Who wins the last question he/ she will be the winner.
iv. Total of 5 questions will be asked.
