(c) In the given figure, TS  SP,

mTSR = mOSP = 90o
In TSR, mTSR + mTRS +mRTS = 180
⇒ 90 + 65+ x = 180
⇒ x = 180 − 90 − 65
⇒ x = 25
Now, y = 2x [Angle subtended at the centre is
double that of the angle subtended by the arc
at the same centre]
⇒ y = 2 × 25
 y = 50
In OSP, mOSP + mSPO + mPOS = 180
⇒ 90 + z + 50 = 180
⇒ z = 180−140
 z = 40

Thus, the interest earned in 2 years is Rs. 1500.

(ii) Sum deposited in two years  24  1000  24,000

Maturity value = Total sum depositedin two years + Interest
= 24,000 + 1,500
= 25,500
Thus, the maturity value is Rs. 25,500.

(b) (K + 2)x2 – Kx + 6 = 0 ….(1)

Substituting x = 3 in equation (1), we get
(K + 2)(3)2 – K(3) + 6 = 0
 9(K + 2) – 3K + 6 = 0
 9k + 18 – 3k + 6 = 0
 6k + 24 = 0
 K = –4
Now, substituting K = –4 in equation (1), we get
(–4 + 2)x2 – (–4)x + 6 = 0
 –2x2 + 4x + 6 = 0
 x2 – 2x – 3 = 0
 x2 – 3x + x – 3 = 0
 x(x – 3) + 1(x – 3) = 0
 (x + 1)(x – 3) = 0
So, the roots are x = –1 and x = 3.
Thus, the other root of the equation is x = –1.

1. Draw a line segment AB of length 5.5 cm.
2. Make an angle mBAX = 105 using a protractor.
3. Draw an arc AC with radius AC = 6 cm on AX with centre at A.
4. Join BC.
Thus ABC is the required triangle.
(i) Draw BR, the bisector of ∠ABC, which is the locus of points equidistant from
BA and BC.
(ii) Draw MN, the perpendicular bisector of BC, which is the locus of points
equidistant from B and C.
(iii) The angle bisector of ∠ABC and perpendicular bisector of BC meet at point P.
Thus, P satisfies the above two loci.
Length of PC = 4.8 cm
