117 = 65 First,
Explanation: 1 +
× find 52 of 65 and
the HCF
117
65 = 52 × 1 + 13

52 = 13 × 4 + 0 (zero remainder)
Therefore, HCF (117 , 65) is 13
Now,
∴ 65m – 117 = 13
⇒ 65m = 13 + 117
⇒ 65m = 130

⇒m=2

Here a =16, b = 4k, c = 9

Now D = b2 − 4ac = (4k)2 − 4×16×9 = 16k2 −576

Roots are real and equal if D = 0 i,e. b2 − 4ac = 0
⇒16k2 − 576 = 0
⇒ k2 − 36 = 0
⇒ k2 = 36 = (±6)2
⇒k = ±6
5. (a) √72
Explanation: Given: √18, √32, √50

8.
(b) 2.25 cm
Explanation: Given, AD = 3 cm, AB = 7 cm, EC = 3 cm. Let
AE = x cm
∴ AC = AE + EC = x + 3 cm
As we know that
AD
AB = AEAC
⇒ 37 = xx+3
⇒ 3(x + 3) = 7x
⇒ 3x + 9 = 7x
⇒ 7x - 3x = 9
9. ⇒ 4x = 9
x= 9 = 2.25 cm
⇒

∴ length of AE = 2.25 cm

10.
∠OPQ + ∠PQO + ∠QOP = 180∘
⇒30° + 30° + ∠QOP = 180°

⇒ ∠QOP = 120°
(c) 50o

Explanation:

Since, PA and PB are tangents.

Also, tangent is perpendicular to radius at the point of contact.
PAO = 90o and
In∠quadrilateral
∴ ∠PBO = 90o
APBO;

∠APB + ∠PAO + ∠PBO + ∠AOB = 360o

22. Given: △ABD is a right triangle right angled at A and AC⊥ BD.
AB2
To Prove: = BD

AC 2 DC

Proof: We know that if a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle to the hypotenuse then the triangles on
both sides of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to each other.
So, △BAD ∼ △BCA ............... (i)

and △ACB ∼ △DCA ............... (ii)

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.
BA
= BD [from (i)]
BC BA
BA2 = BC × BD ........... (iii)
Also, AC

AC 2 DC
Hence proved.
23. According to the question,

PAQ = 90o [Angle in semicircle]

∴ ∠APQ + ∠1 = 90∘ [Sum of acute angels of right angle △]
⇒ ∠APQ + ∠2 = 90∘ [OA = OQ ∴ ∠1 = ∠2]
⇒ ∠APQ + (∠BAQ − ∠BAO) = 90∘
⇒ ∠APQ + (105∘ − 90∘) = 90∘ [∵ OA ⊥ AB]

⇒ πR2 = (16π + 9π)
⇒ πR2 = 25π
⇒ R2 = 25

Section C
26. As per question, the required number of books are to be distributed equally among the students of section A
or B. There are 30 students in section A and 28 students in section B.
So, the number of these books must be a multiple of 30 as well as that of 28.
Consequently, the required number is LCM(30, 28).
Now, 30 = 2 ×3 ×5

and 28 = 22 ×7 .
∴ LCM(30, 28) = product of prime factors with highest power
= 22 × 3 ×5 ×7

= 4 × 3 ×5 × 7
= 420 the required number of books = 420.
Hence,

28. 1. By Elimination method,
The given system of equation is :
3 x + 4 y = 10 .................... (1)
2 x - 2 y = 2.................... (2)
Multiplying equation(2) by 2, we
get 4 x - 4 y = 4 .............. (2)
Adding equation (1) and equation (3), we
get 7 x = 14

∴ x = 14 7= 2
Substituting
2(2) - 2y = 2 this value of x in equation (2), we get
⇒ 4 − 2y = 2
⇒ 2y = 4 − 2
⇒ 2y = 2

⇒ y = 2 2= 1
So, the solution of the given system of equation is
x = 2, y = 1
2. By Substitution method,
The given system of equation
is: 3 x + 4 y = 10. ........... (1)
2 x - 2 y = 2. ................... (2)
From equation(1)

3x10−4y
= 10 − 4y
(Put value
) ofxx=in equation (2),

2x − 2y = 2
2 ( 10−4y3 ) − 2y = 2
2(10−4y)−2y(3)
=2
20 − 8y3 − 6y = 6

−14y = −14
y=1
Putting value of y = 1 in equation (2)
2x - 2 = 2
x=2
Therefore, x = 2, y = 1 is the solution.
Verification: Substituting x = 2, y = 1, we find that both the
equation(1) and (2) are satisfied shown below:
3x + 4y = 3(2) + 4(1) = 6 + 4 = 10

2x − 2y = 2(2) − 2(1) = 4 − 2 = 2
Hence, the solution is correct.
OR
Let the fraction be yx
Then, according to the question,
x+1.....................
y−1 = 1 (1)
x 1.................
y+1
= 2 (2)

⇒x + 1 = y - 1 ............ (3)
2x = y + 1. ............... (4)

⇒x - y = - 2. ................(5)
2x - y = 1. ..................... (^)

Page 13 of 19
 Substituting equation (5) from equation (6), we get x =3
Substituting this value of x in equation (5), we get
3 - y = -2
⇒y= 3+2
⇒y=5
Hence, the required fraction is 3

5
Verification: Substituting
we find that both the value and
the equations(1) of x = 3 and
( 2) are ysatisfied
= 5, as shown below:
x+1 3+1 4
y−1
= 5−1

x

y+1 5+1 6 2
Hence, the solution is correct.
29. We know that the lengths of tangents drawn from an exterior point to a circle are equal
∴AE = AF = x cm (say);
BD = BF = 6 cm;
CD = CE = 8 cm
And so, AB = AF + BF = (x + 6) cm; BC = BD + CD = 14 cm; CA
= CE + AE = (x + 8) cm.
Join OE and OF and also OA, OB and OC.
∴ ar(△ABC) = ar(△OAB) + ar(△OBC) + ar(△OCA)
⇒ 63 = ( 1 × AB × OF ) + ( 1 × BC × OD) + ( 1 × CA × OE)
2 2 2
⇒ 63 = { 1 × (x + 6) × 3} + ( 1 × 14 × 3) + { 1 × (x + 8) × 3}
2 2 2

⇒ 63 = 3 2× (2x + 28) ⇒ x = 7
∴ AB = (x + 6)cm = (7 + 6)cm = 13 cm
OR

We have

OA ⊥ AP [∴the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact].
and OB ⊥ BP
Join OP.
In right ∆OAP,
we have
OA =2 8 cm,2AP = 15 cm.
∴OP = OA + AP2 [by Pythagoras' theorem]

⇒ OP= √OA2 + AP 2
= √82 + 152cm

= √289cm = 17 cm
In right △OBP,
we have
OB = 5 cm,
OP =217 cm2
∴ OP = OB + BP2 [by Pythagoras' theorem]

⇒ BP = √OP 2 − OB2
= √172 − 52cm
= √264cm
Thus, the length of BP = √264cm

= 16.25cm (approx).
30. We have, p = sinθ + cosθ and q = secθ + cosecθ
∴ LHS = q(p2 -1 ) = (secθ + cosecθ) {(sinθ + cosθ)2 - 1 }

Here, the frequency table is given in inclusive form. = RHS
we first transform it into exclusive form by subtracting and adding h
2
the lower and upper limits respectively of each class, where h denotes the difference of lower limit of a class and the upper
limit
of the previous class.
Here, h = 1 So, h = 0.5

Transforming the above table into exclusive form and preparing the cumulative frequency table, we get:-

69.5-79.5 15 20

79.5-89.5 20 40

99.5-109.5 20 90

109.5-119.5 8 98

h N = Σfi = 98
We have, N(Total frequency) = 98 Or, = 49

h
The cumulative frequency just greater than is 70 and the corresponding class is 89.5-99.5. So, 89.5-99.5 is the median
class.
2
Now,
l = 89.5 (lower limit of median class),
h = 10 (length of interval of median
class), f = 30 (frequency of median
class)
F = 40 (cumulative frequency of the class just preceding the median class)
Now, Median is given by:-
