(b) 1.x + 0.y = 7
Explanation: The equation x = 7 in two variables can be written as exactly 1.x + 0.y = 7
because it contain two variable x and y and coefficient of y is zero as there is no term containing y
in equation x = 7

3.
(d) (0, 6)
Explanation: Since it lies on the y-axis so it's abscissa x will be zero.
Thus, the point will be (0, 6).
4.

Explanation: In the given figure we have
3Y + 2X = 180° (Linear - Pair)
X = 30°
3Y + 2 × 30° = 180°
3Y + 60° = 180°

(b) 2x + y = 160
Explanation: Let the cost of apples be ₹x per Kg and cost of grapes be ₹y per Kg. The cost of 2 kg of apples and 1 kg of
grapes on a day was found to be ₹160.
So the equation will be

11.
(d) SAS
Explanation: In △DBC and △AEF, we have
AB = FC (given)by adding BF on both sides
AF= CB
∠ AFE = ∠ CBD (given)

EF = BD (given)
Hence, △AF E ≅△C BD by SAS as the corresponding sides and their included angles are equal.
12.
(b) rectangle
Explanation:
rectangle

Let ABCD be a rhombus and P,Q,R and S be the mid-points of sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
In △ABD and △BDC we have
SP ∥ BD and SP = ​BD ..... (1) [By mid-point theorem]
1

RQ ∥ BD and RQ = 1

2
​BD ..... (2) [By mid-point theorem]
From (1) and (2) we get,
SP ∥ RQ
PQRS is a parallelogram
As diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
∴ AC⊥BD
Since, SP ∥ BD, PQ ∥ AC and AC⊥BD
∴ SP⊥PQ
∴ ∠QPS = 90o
∴ PQRS is a rectangle.

13.
(d) 220 o

Explanation:

In triangle NYB,
∠ N + ∠ Y + ∠ B = 180o
⇒ ∠B = 180o - 50o - 20o = 110o
Complete the cyclic quadrilateral, MBNX, where X being any point on the circumference in the major segment, we have:-
∠ MXN = 80o - 110o = 70o

Page 9 of 19
 So, minor ∠ MON = 70o × 2 = 140o
Hence, reflex ∠ MON = 360o - 140o = 220o

x+y=0
As all the given three points satisfy the given equation
16.
(d) 120°
Explanation:

o is point where bisectors of ∠ C & ∠ B meets.

∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°
60° + 80° + ∠ C = 180°
∠ C = 40°
∠C

In △BOC
∠ BCO + ∠ OBC + ∠ BOC = 180°

From (i) and (ii)

20° + 40° + ∠ BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180° - 60° = 120°

17.
(b) 10x
Explanation: Now, (25x2 -1) + (1 + 5x)2
= 25x2 -1 + 1 + 25x2 + 10x [using identity, (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab]
= 50x2 + 10x = 10x (5x+ 1)
Hence, one of the factor of given polynomial is 10x.

Explanation:

a + b + c = 60
a + b + 26 = 60
a + b = 34 ...(i)
Now, 262 = a2 + b2 ...(ii)
Squaring (1) both sides, we get
(a + b)2 = (34)2
a2 + b2 + 2ab = 34 × 34
(26)2 + 2ab = 1156 [From (ii)]
2ab = 1156 - 676
2ab = 480
ab = 240 ...(iii)
Now, a + = 34 [From (i) and (iii)]
240

a2 - 24a - 10a + 240 = 0

a(a - 24) - 10(a - 24) = 0

Hence, arc PXA ≅ arc PYB.( As the arc of equal chords are equal)
OR
Given: Two chords PQ and RS of a circle are parallel to each other and AB is the perpendicular bisector of PQ.

To prove: AB bisects RS
Proof: ∵ AB is the perpendicular bisector of PQ
∴ AB passes through the centre O [∵ The perpendicular bisector of a chord of a circle passes through the centre]

∴ PQ || RS
∴ AB ⊥ RS
∴ AB passes through the centre

∴ AB bisects RS [∵ The perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle bisects the chord]

29. We have the equation as 3x + 2y = 18

In standard form
3x + 2y - 18 = 0
Or 3x + 2y + (-18) =0
But standard linear equation is
ax + by + c = 0
On comparison we get, a = 3, b = 2, c = -18
If (4, 3) lie on the line, i.e., solution of the equation LHS = RHS
∴ 3(4) + 2(3) = 18

12 + 6 = 18
18 = 18
As LHS = RHS, Hence (4, 3) is the solution of given equation.
Again for (1,2)
3x + 2y = 18
∴ 3(1)+2(2)=18

3 + 4 = 18
7 = 18
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence (1, 2) is not the solution of given equation.
Therefore (4,3) is the point where the equation of the line 3x + 2y = 18 passes through where as the line for the equation 3x + 2y
=18 does not pass through the point (1,2).

CPA is a straight line
In ΔAPD and ΔAPB

DA = AB
AP = AP
PB = PD
Thus by SSS{side- side- side} criterion of congruence, we have
ΔAPD ≅△APB

Now consider the triangles, △CPD and △CPB

CD = CB
CP = CP
PB = PD
Thus by side side side criterion of congruence, we have
ΔCPD ≅ΔCPB .

∠APD + ∠CPD = ∠APB + ∠CPB

∘
⇒ ∠APB + ∠CPB = 360 − (∠APD + ∠CPD)

∘
⇒ ∠APD + ∠CPD = 360 − (∠APD + ∠CPD)

∘
⇒ 2(∠APD + ∠CPD) = 360
360 ∘
⇒ ∠APD + ∠CPD = = 180

This proves that CPA is a straight line.

situation:

We need to find ∠ XYQ and reflex ∠ QYP

From the given figure, we can conclude that ∠ XYZ and ∠ ZYP form a linear pair.
We know that sum of the angles of a linear pair is 180o.
∠ XYZ + ∠ ZYP = 180o
But ∠ XYZ = 64o
⇒ 64o + ∠ ZYP = 180o
⇒ ∠ ZYP = 116o
Ray YQ bisects ∠ ZYP,or
= 58o
o

∠ QYZ = ∠ QYP = 116

∠ XYQ = ∠ QYZ + ∠ XYZ

= 58o + 64o = 122o.
Reflex ∠ QYP = 360 - ∠ QYP ∘

= 360o - 58o

Therefore, we can conclude that ∠ XYQ = 122o and Reflex ∠ QYP = 302o

38. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
There is a Diwali celebration in the DPS school Janakpuri New Delhi. Girls are asked to prepare Rangoli in a triangular shape.
They made a rangoli in the shape of triangle ABC. Dimensions of △ABC are 26 cm, 28 cm, 25 cm.

(i) We know that line joining mid points of two sides of triangle is half and parallel to third side.
Hence RQ is parallel to BC and half of BC.
RQ = = 14 cm
28

Length of RQ = 14 cm
(ii) By mid-point theorem we know that line joining mid points of two sides of triangle is half and parallel to third side.
PQ = AB

2
= = 12.5 cm
25

QR = BC

2
=
28

2
= 14 cm
RP = AC

2
=
26

2
= 13 cm
Length of garland = PQ + QR + RP = 12.5 + 14 + 13 = 39.5 cm
Length of garland = 39.5 cm..
(iii)As R and P are mid-points of sides AB and BC of the triangle ABC, by mid point theorem, RP || AC Similarly, RQ || BC
and PQ || AB. Therefore ARPQ, BRQP and RQCP are all parallelograms. Now RQ is a diagonal of the parallelogram
ARPQ, therefore, △ARQ ≅ △PQR Similarly △CPQ ≅ △RQP and △BPR ≅ △QRP So, all the four triangles are
congruent.
Therefore Area of △ARQ = Area of △CPQ = Area of △BPR = Area of △PQR
Area △ABC = Area of △ARQ + Area of △CPQ + Area of △BPR + Area of △PQR
Area of △ ABC = 4 Area of △PQR
△PQR = ar(ABC)1

OR
As R and Q are mid-points of sides AB and AC of the triangle ABC. Similarly, P and Q are mid points of sides BC and
AC by mid-point theorem, RQ || BC and PQ || AB. Therefore BRQP is parallelogram
