24 Let point on x-axis be P(a, 0) and given that A(2, –5) and B(–2, 9) are
equidistant
PA = PB Squaring both sides, 1
we get a2 + 4 – 4a + 25 = a2 + 4 + 4a + 81
– 8a = 56
a = –7
Hence the required point is (–7, 0) 1

26 In ΔABD and ΔPQR
AB/PQ = BD/QR = AC/PM [given]
AB/PQ = 2BC/2QM/AC/PM
⇒ AB/PQ = (BC/QM = AC/PM 1

27 Let one number be x and another number (34 − 𝑥)
ATQ (𝑥 − 3)(34 − 𝑥 + 2) = 260 1
Solving and getting the quadratic equation
𝑥 2 −39𝑥 + 368 = 0
(𝑥 − 16)(𝑥 − 23) = 0 1
⇒ 𝑥 = 16, 23
If one number is 16, then another number = 34 – 16 =18
If one number is 23, then another number = 34 – 23 =11 1

30 Area of sector = θ/360 × πr
Area of the segment = Area of the sector - Area of the corresponding ∆
Here, radius, r = 15 cm, θ = 60°
AB is the chord that subtends 60° angle at the
Area of the sector = θ/360° × πr2
= 60°/360° × 3.14 × 15 × 15 cm2
= 117.75 cm2 1
In ΔAOB,
OA = OB = r
∠OBA = ∠OAB (Angles opposite to the equal sides in a triangle are equal)
∠AOB + ∠OBA + ∠OAB = 180°
60° + ∠OAB + ∠OAB = 180°
2 ∠OAB = 120°
∠OAB = 60°
∴ ΔAOB is a because all its angles are equal.
⇒ AB = OA = OB = r
Area of ΔAOB = √3/4 × (side)2
= √3/4 r2
= √3/4 × (15 cm)2
= 1.73/4 × 225 cm2 1
= 97.3125 cm2
(i) Area of minor segment APB = Area of sector - Area of Δ
= 117.75 cm2 - 97.3125 cm2
= 20.4375 cm2 1

Total length of wire required will be the length of 5 diameters and the
circumference of the brooch.
Radius of circle =
Circumference of brooch = 2πr
= 110 mm
Length of wire required = 110 + 5 × 35 1.5
= 110 + 175 = 285 mm
It can be observed from the figure that each of 10 sectors of the circle is
subtending 36° at the centre of the circle.
Therefore, area of each sector =
1.5

31 Let √5 be a rational number, then we have √5 = 𝑞, where p and q are co-
1
primes.
p = √5𝑞
Squaring both sides, we get 𝑝2 = 5𝑞 2
𝑝172 is divisible by 5 p is also divisible by 5
So, assume p = 5m where m is any integer.
Squaring both sides, we get 𝑝2 = 25𝑚2
But 𝑝2 = 5𝑞 2 1
Therefore, 5𝑞 2 = 25𝑚2 𝑞 2 = 5𝑚2
𝑞 2 is divisible by 5 q is also divisible by 5
From above we conclude that p and q have one common factor i.e. 5 which
contradicts that p and q are co-primes.
Therefore, our assumption is wrong.
Hence, √5 is an irrational number.
