∴ ∠ ACB = 180o - 55o = 125o ...(∵ ∠ APB and ∠ ACB are supplementary angles)
Now, as we know that
Angle subtended by an arc at the centre = 2 × angle subtended by arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle
∴125o = 2 × ∠ AQB

Section C
26. We have to find the greatest number that divides 445, 572 and 699 and leaves remainders of 4, 5 and 6 respectively. This means
when the number divides 445, 572 and 699, it leaves remainders 4, 5 and 6. It means that
445 - 4 = 441,
572 - 5 = 567
and 699 - 6 = 693
are completely divisible by the required number.
For the highest number which divides the above numbers we need to calculate HCF of 441, 567 and 693 .
Therefore, the required number is the H.C.F. of 441, 567 and 693 Respectively.
First, consider 441 and 567.
By applying Euclid’s division lemma, we get
567 = 441 × 1 + 126
441 = 126 × 3 + 63
126 = 63 × 2 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. of 441 and 567 = 63
Now, consider 63 and 693
again we have to apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get

Page 12 of 18
 693 = 63 × 11 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. of 441, 567 and 693 is 63
Hence, the required number is 63. 63 is the highest number which divides 445,572 and 699 will leave 4,5 and 6 as remainder
respectively.
27. Sum of the zeroes: (2 + β ) = (-1)
Product of the zeroes : 2β = -20
So, required Quadratic polynomial

+ (−1)x + (−20]

⇒ x − x − 20 = 0 is the polynomial

28. Given, last term, l = 119

No. of terms in A.P. = 30
8th term from the end = 91
Let d be a common difference and assume that the first term of A.P. is 119 (from the end)
Since the nth term of AP is
an = l + (n - 1)d
∴ a8 = 119 + (8 - 1)d

⇒ 91 = 119 + 7d
⇒ 7d = 91 - 119

⇒ 7d = -28

⇒ d = -4

Now, this common difference is from the end of A.P.

So, the common difference from the beginning = -d
= (-4) = 4
Thus, a common difference for the A.P. is 4.
Now, using the formula
I = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ 119 = a + (30 - 1)4

⇒ 119 = a + 29 × 4
⇒ 119 = a + 116
⇒ a = 119 - 116

⇒ a = 3

Hence, using the formula for the sum of n terms of an A.P.

n
i.e., Sn = 2
[2a + (n - 1)d]
30
S30 = 2
[2 × 3 + (30 - 1) × 4]
= 15(6 + 29 × 4)
= 15 × 122
= 1830
Therefore, the sum of 30 terms of an A.P. is 1830
OR
It is given that the sum of 5th and 9th terms of an A.P. is 72 and the sum of 7th and 12th terms is 97.
Let "a "be the first term and 'd' be the common difference of the Arithmetic progression .
It is given that a5 + a9 = 72 and, a7 + a12 = 97
⇒ (a + 4d) + (a + 8d) = 72 and, (a + 6d) + (a + 11 d) = 97.
Therefore, we have
⇒ 2a + 12d = 72 ...(1)

⇒ 2a + 17d = 97...(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
2a+17d-2a-12d =97-72
⟹ 5d = 25

Page 13 of 18
 ⇒ d=5
Putting d = 5 in (1), we get
2a + 60 = 72 ⇒ 2a = 12 ⇒ a = 6
Therefore,a = 6 and d = 5
Hence, the Arithmetic Progression a,a+d,a+2d ..... is 6, 11,16, 21, 26,......
29. O is the centre of the circle and TP is the tangent to the circle from an external point T.

From figure,
AB is the diameter
Since, angle in a semicircle is a right angle
∠AP B = 90°

By using alternate segment theorem

We have ∠AP B = ∠P AT = 30°
Now, in △APB
∠ BAP + ∠ APB + ∠ ABP = 180 (Angle sum property of triangle)
∘

∠ BAP = 180° - 90° - 30° = 60°

Now, ∠ BAP = ∠ APT + ∠ PTA (Exterior angle property)
60° = 30° + ∠ PTA
∠P T A = 60° − 30° = 30°

We know that sides opposite to equal angles are equal

AP = AT
In right triangle ABP,
sin 30° = AT

BA

⇒

∴ BA : AT = 2 : 1

OR
TP = TQ ...(length of tangents drawn from external points)
∴ ∠ TQP = ∠ TPQ (angles oppo to equal sides are equal)

OP ⊥ TP (∵ at point of contact radius and tangent are ⊥ r)

∠ OPT = 90o
∠ OPQ + ∠ CPQ = 90o
∠ TPQ = 90 - ∠ OPQ

Now, In △PTQ
∠ TPQ + ∠ PTQ + ∠ QTP = 180o
90o - ∠ OPQ + 90 - ∠ OPQ + ∠ PTQ = 180o
∠ PTQ = 2∠ OPQ

f1 + 5 + 9 + 12 + f2 + 3 + 2 = 40
⇒ f1 + f2 = 9

Median is 32.5 which lies in 30 - 40, so the median class is 30 - 40.

⇒ x (x − 15) + 12 (x − 15) = 0
⇒ (x − 15) (x + 12) = 0 ⇒ x = 15, −12
Cost cannot be in negative, therefore, we discard x = − 12
Therefore, x = Rs 15 which is the cost of production of each article.
90
Number of articles produced on that particular day = =6 15

Let y-axis divides station (c) and Town B in K : 1

4k−4
0= k+1

4k = 4
k=1
∴ y-axis divides in 1 : 1
