p(1) = 0
(1)3 - 23 (1)2 + k (1) - 120 = 0
1 - 23 + k - 120 = 0
1 - 143 + k = 0
-142 + k = 0
k = 142
5.
(d) Three
Explanation: The maximum number of zeroes that a polynomial of degree 3 can have is three because the number of zeroes of
a polynomial is equals to the degree of that polynomial.

− 2√2x + 1
– – 2 – –
⇒ p (2√2) = (2√2) − 2√2 (2√2) + 1

⇒ p (2√2) = 8 − 8 + 1
–
⇒ p (2√2) = 1

7. (a) quadrants I and III

Explanation: We have to take those points where abscissa and ordinate are equal.
Two cases arise;
i) (2, 2) = since both values are +ve so it will lie in 1st quadrant.
ii) (-2, -2) = since both values are -ve so it will lie in 3rd quadrant.

(d) y- axis
Explanation: Let P be any point whose co-ordinate be P (0, b)
Then, if the value of x-coordinate or abscissa is zero then the point P lies in y-axis.

9. (a) intersecting or coincident

Explanation: intersecting or coincident
10.
(b) (2, 3)
Explanation: We have to check (2, 3) is a solution of 2x – 3y = 12 if (2, 3) satisfy the equation then (2, 3) solution of 2x – 3y =
12
LHS = 2x - 3y
2×2-3×3
4 - 9 = -5
RHS = -5
LHS ≠ RHS
So (2, 3) is not a solution of 2x - 3y = 12
11.
(b) 20°
Explanation: 20°
12.
(b) (a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)

Explanation:

(a) Corresponding angles → ∠ 1 = ∠ 5

(b) Alternate interior angles→ ∠ 4 = ∠ 6
(c) Alternate exterior angles → ∠ 1 = ∠ 7
(d) Co-interior angles → ∠ 4 + ∠ 5 = 180°
13.
(b) 30°, 60°
Explanation: x + y + 90° = 180° (Linear Pair)
2a + a + 90° = 180° (Since, x:y = 2:1)
a = 30°
x = 2a = ∠ COE = 60° (Vertically opposite angles)
y = ∠ BOD = 30° (Vertically opposite angles)
14.
(c) 45°
Explanation: We have:
θ + ϕ = 180 [∵ AOD is a straight line]
∘

∘
⇒ 3ϕ + ϕ = 180 [∵ θ = 3ϕ]

∘
⇒ 4ϕ = 180

(b) 45°
Explanation: The measures of angles of a triangle are in ratio 3: 4: 5.
Let the angles be 3x, 4x and 5x.
In any triangle, sum of all angles = 180°
⇒ 3x + 4x + 5x = 180°

⇒ 12x = 180°

Explanation: Let the sides of the triangle be

a = 3x, b = 5x, c = 7x
Perimeter of triangle = 300 m

3 / 12
 ⇒ 3x + 5x + 7x = 300 ⇒ 15x = 300 ⇒ x = 20
∴ a = 3 × 20 = 60 m, b = 5 × 20 = 100 m,
c = 7 × 20 = 140 m
300
Now, s = 2
= 150 m
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

OR
ab(x2 + y2) - xy(a2 + b2)
By multiplying the terms
= abx2 + aby2 - a2xy - b2xy
We can further write it as
= abx2 - a2xy + aby2 - b2xy
By taking the common terms out
= ax(bx - ay) - by(bx - ay)
So we get,
= (ax - by)(bx - ay)
23. A point lies on x-axis if the y-coordinate is zero. Hence B, D, E and G points lie on the x-axis.
24. 2x + y = 7
⇒ y = 7 – 2x
Put x = 0, we get y = 7 – 2(0) = 7 – 0 = 7
Put x = 1, we get y = 7 – 2(1) = 7 – 2 = 5

4 / 12
 Put x = 2, we get y = 7 – 2(2) = 7 – 4 = 3
Put x = 3, we get y = 7 – 2(3) = 7 – 6 = 1
∴ Four solutions are (0, 7), (1, 5), (2, 3) and (3, 1).
25. In △QPR and △PQS

OR
Let(x - y) = X,(x + y) = Y,then the given expression becomes,
4X2 − 12XY + 9Y2
Splitting the middle term -12 = - 6 - 6, also 4 × 9 = −6 × − 6
= 4X2 − 6XY − 6XY + 9Y2
= 2X(2X - 3Y) -3y(2X - 3Y)
= (2X - 3Y)(2X - 3Y)
= (2X − 3Y)2
Substituting X = x - y & Y = x + y
= [2(x − y) − 3(x + y)]2 = [2x - 2y - 3x - 3y]2
= [−x − 5y]2
= [(−1)(x + 5y)]2

5 / 12
 = (x + 5y)2 [∵ (-1)2 = 1]
∴ 4(x − y)2 −12(x − y)(x + y) + 9(x + y)2 = (x + 5y)2

28. 9x + 7y = 63
put x = 0, we get
9(0) + 7y = 63
⇒ 7y = 63
⇒y = 63

7
= 9

∴ (0, 9) is a solution.
9x + 7y = 63
Put y = 0, we get
9x + 7(0) = 63
⇒ 9x = 63
⇒x = 63

9
= 7

∴ (7, 0) is a solution.
x + y = 10
Put x = 0, we get
0 + y = 10
⇒ y = 10
∴ (0, 10) is a solution.
x + y = 10
Put y = 0, we get
x + 0 = 10
⇒ x = 10
∴ (10, 0) is a solution.
The given equations do not have any common solution.
OR
y=x
We have, y = x
Let x = 1 : y = 1
Let x = 2 : y = 2
Let x = 3 : y = 3
Thus, we have the following table :

x 1 2 3

y 1 2 3

By plotting the points (1, 1), (2, 2) and (3, 3) on the graph paper and joining them by a line, we obtain the graph of y = x.

6 / 12
 y = -x
We have, y = -x
Let x = 1 : y = -1
Let x = 2 : y = -2
Let x = -2 : y = -(-2) = 2
Thus, we have the following table exhibiting the abscissa and ordinates of the points of the line represented by the equation y = -x.
x 1 2 -2

y -1 -2 2
Now, plot the points (1, -1), (2, -2) and (-2, 2) and join them by a line to obtain the line represented by the equation y = -x.
The graphs of the lines y = x and y = -x are shown in figure.
Two lines intersect at O (0, 0).

In △OAB and △OAC,
AB = AC . . . .[Given]
OB = OC . . . .[As proved above]
OA = OA . . . .[Common]
∴ △OAB ≅△OAC . . . [By SSS property]

∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OAC . . . [c.p.c.t.]

∴ AO bisects ∠ A

Given: In right triangle ABC, right angled at C. M is the mid-point of hypotenuse AB. C is joined to M and produced to a point D
such that DM = CM. Point D is joined to point B.
To Prove:
i. △AMC ≅ △BMD
ii. ∠ DBC is a right angle
iii. △DBC ≅ △ACB
1
iv. CM = 2
AB
Proof:
i. In △AMC and △BMD
AM = BM ...[As M is the mid-point]
CM = DM ...[Given]
∠ AMC = ∠ BMD ...[Vertically opposite angles]

∴ △AMC ≅ △BMD proved ...[SAS property] ...(1)

ii. △AMC ≅ △BMD ...[From (1)]

∠ ACM = ∠ BDM ...[c.p.c.t.]

These are alternate interior angles and they are equal.

∴ AC ∥ BD

As AC ∥ BD and transversal BC intersects them

∴ ∠ DBC + ∠ ACB = 180° ...[Sum of the consecutive interior angles of the transversal]

∠ DBC + 90° = 180°

∠ DBC = 180° - 90° = 90°
∠ DBC is a right angle proved.

9 / 12
iii. △AMC ≅ △BMD ...[From (1)]
∴ AC = BD ...[c.p.c.t.] ...(2)

In DDBC and DACB

BC = CB ...[Common]
∠ DBC = ∠ ACB ...[each = 90° as proved above]
BD = CA ...[From (2)]
∴ △DBC ≅ △ACB ...[SAS property]

iv. DDBC ≅ DACB ...[As proved in (iii)]

∴ DC = AB ...[c.p.c.t.]
∴ 2CM = AB ...[DM = CM = DC]

Given: ΔABC and ΔDBC are on the same base BC.
Also given, AB = AC and BD = DC........(1)
To prove: AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC. i.e., AD ⊥ BC & OB = OC

Proof: In ΔBAD and ΔC AD , we have :-

AB = AC [from (1) ]
BD = CD [ from (1) ]
AD = AD [ Common side ]
So, by SSS criterion of congruency of triangles, we have
ΔBAD ≅ΔC AD

⇒ ∠DAB = ∠DAC [ CPCT]

∴ ∠1 = ∠2 ........(2)
Now, in ΔBAO and ΔC AO , we have :-
AB = AC [from (1) ]
∠1 = ∠2 [ From (2)]

AO = AO [Common side]
So, by SAS criterion of congruency of triangles, we have
ΔBAO ≅ΔC AO

∴ BO = C O[CPCT] .......(3)
&, ∠AOB = ∠AOC [CPCT]
⇒ ∠3 = ∠4 .........(4)
But,∠3 + ∠4 = 180 [angles on the same line ]
∘

⇒ ∠3 + ∠3 = 180 [ from (4) ]

∘

∘
⇒ 2∠3 = 180
∘
180 ∘
⇒ ∠3 = = 90

⇒ AD ⊥ BC .......(5)
Hence ,from (3) & (5)
AD is perpendicular bisector of BC [∵ BO = CO & AD ⊥ BC ]
Hence, proved.

37. i. In △PQS and △PRT

PQ = PR (Given)
QS = TR (Given)
∠PQR =∠ PRQ (corresponding angles of an isosceles △)
By SAS commence
△PQS ≅ △PRT

ii. △P QS ≅△P RT
⇒ PS = PT (CPCT)

So in △PST
PS = PT
It is an isosceles triangle.
iii. Perimeter = sum of all 3 sides
PQ = PR = 6 cm
QR = 7 cm
So, P = (6 + 6 + 7) cm

 Let ∠ Q = ∠ R = x and ∠ P = 80o
In △PQR, ∠ P + ∠ Q + ∠ R = 180o (Angle sum property of △)
80o + x + x = 180o
2x = 180o - 80
2x = 100o
