(c) any number
Explanation: In the cartesian plane any point P is written as p(x, y)
when the value of x co-ordinate is equal to zero then the point P lies on y axis,
So,Ordinate of any point on y-axis can be any number but abscissa will be zero

(d) 9 6 o

Explanation:

Here AC is side of hexagon, so it will subtend 60° angle at centre and also sides & radius are equal.
Thus, AC = OC = OA and ∠COA = ∠OAC = ∠ACO = 60°
AB is side of pentagon, so it would subtend angle of 360
5
= 72° angle at centre.
so, ∠BOP = 72°
SO, ∠COB = 7 2 + 6 0 = 1 3 2 °
Also since, OC = OB, ∠OCP = OBP
∠
△COB COB + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°
2∠OBC = 180 - ( 132) = 48°
∠OBC =24°
NOW, △ BOP ∠BOP+ ∠OPB+ ∠PBO =180°
∠OPB = 180 - (24 + 72) =180 - 96 = 84°
Now,
∠APB and ∠OPB lie on straight line, so they are supplementry angles.
∠APB = 180 - ∠OPB = 180- 84 =96°
4. (a) 45°, 30°
Explanation: 3x - 10° = x + 80° [opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.];
3x - x = 80° + 10°;
2x = 90°;
x = 90°/2;
x = 45°
3x - 10° + y +25° = 180° [In a parallelogram co-interior angles are supplementary.];
3 × 45° - 10° + y + 25° = 180°;
135° + 25° - 10° + y = 180°;

∠ CBF = 1 8 0∘......(ii)
∠ 2 + ACD = 1 8 0∘.....(iv)
∠
Adding (i),(ii) and (iii), we get:
(∠
∠31+ + ∠ 2 + ∠ 3BAE ) + (+∠∠CBF + ∠ACD) = 5 4 0 ∘
∠
⇒180∘+∠ BAE + ∠CBF + ∠ ACD = 5 4 0 ∘[∵∠ 1 +∠2+ ∠ 3 =18 0 ∘]
⇒ ∠BAE + ∠CBF + ∠ACD = 3 6 0 ∘ .

(d) 1 0 5
Explanation:

Here, AOB is diameter,

so, ∠BOE = 180 - 150 = 30° {Angles lie in straight line}
Now, OE & OB are radius so, OE = OB .i.e∠OEB= ∠ OBE
In △BOE, ∠BOE + ∠OBE+∠BEO =180°
= 30 + 2 ∠OBE =180°
= 2 ∠OBE = 180 - 30 = 150°
= ∠OBE = 75°
Now, ∠OBE & ∠CBE lie on staright line
so, ∠OBE + ∠CBE =180°
∠CBE = 180 - 75 = 105°

Section B

21.

Let a line AB have two mid-points, say, C and D. Then

AB = AC + CB = 2AC . . . . (i) . . . [As C is the mid-point of AB]
and AB = AD + DB = 2AD . . . . (ii) [As D is the mid-point of AB]
From equation (i) and (ii)
AC = AD and CB = DB
But this will possible only when D lies on point C. So every line segment has one and only one mid-point.
22. We have AB = BC [Given]
Now, by Euclid’s axiom 7, we have things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another.
1A B = 21B C
∴ 2
Hence, BX = BY. [∵B X = 12A B a n dB Y = 12 BC (Given)]
23. (i) (+, +) are the signs of the co-ordinates of points in the I quadrant.
∴ A(1, 1) lies in the I quadrant.
(ii) (–, –) are the signs of the co-ordinates of points in the III quadrant.
∴ B(–2, –4) lies in the III quadrant.
(iii) (+, –) are the signs of the co-ordinates of points in the IV quadrant.
∴ C(1, –2) lies in the IV quadrant.

Two irrational numbers which lies between 0.5 and 0.55 are 0.5151151115 .... And 0.5353553555
OR
Let x = 0 . 2 3 5
i.e. x = 0.235235..… ….(i)
Multiply both sides by 1000, we get
⇒ 1000x = 235.235235……. ….(ii)
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
999x = 235
⇒ x = 29 39 59

∴ 0 . 2 3 959 9=
25. Slant height of cone = 14 cm
Let radius of circular end of cone be r.
Curved surface area of cone = πrl
308 cm2 = (22
7 × r × 14) cm
⇒ r = (308) cm = 7 cm
44

Thus, the radius of circular end of the cone is 7 cm.

OR
We are given that,Two ratio in radius and slant height of a cone = 7 : 13
Let radius (r) = 7x

286x2 = 286
x 2 = 2288 66 = 1
∴x = √ 1 = 1
Therefore Radius = 7x = 7 ×1 = 7 cm

∴The sides of the triangular field are 6 × 2 0m, 7 × 2 0m, 8 × 2 0m, i.e., 120 m, 140 m and 160 m.
Now, s = Half the perimeter of triangular field.

 Or x - y = ± 2
(i) When, x-y = 2 and x+y = 14, then 2x = 16
or x = 8, y = 6
(ii) When, X – y = -2 and x + y = 14, then 2x = 12
Or x = 6, y = 8
Verification by using Heron’s formula:
Sides are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm
S =24 = 12 cm

Area of Δ ABC = √12 (12−6) (12−8) (12−10) sq cm

Thus, the result is verified.
35. x3−2x2−x+2
We need to consider the factors of 2, which are ±1,±2
Let us substitute 1 in the polynomial x3−2x2−x+2 to get
(1)3−2(1)2−(1)+2=1−2−1+2=0
Thus, according to factor theorem, we can conclude that (x−1) is a factor of the polynomial
x3−2x2−x+2
Let us divide the polynomial x3−2x2−x+2 by (x−1),to get

x3−2x2−x+2=(x−1)(x2−x−2).
=(x−1)(x2+x−2x−2)
=(x−1)[x(x+1)−2(x+1)]

= 19460 Million
ii. Expenses in 2009-10 = 9160 Million

OR
The expenses in 2010-11 = 10300 Million
