 SECTION B
In this section, there are 5 questions of 2 marks each.

21.

Sol. 𝟏𝟓𝐧 = 𝟓𝐧 × 𝟑𝐧 1
A number ends with zero if it has two prime factors 2 and 5 both. Since 𝟏𝟓𝐧
does not have 2 as a prime factor, so it can’t end with zero 1

22.

Sol. A (1, 0) B (– 5,0) C(– 2,5)

AB = √(−5 − 1)2 + (0 − 0)2 = 6 ½
½
BC = √(−5 + 2)2 + (0 − 5)2 = √34
½
CA = √(1 + 2)2 + (0 − 5)2 = √34

∴ BC = CA ½

So, ∆ABC is isosceles.

 cos(A − B) = 1 ⟹ A − B = 0° … (2) ½

Solving (1) and (2), we get A = B = 30° 1

24.

Sol.

Join OA and OC ½
OA = OC
∠OAC = ∠OCA ½
Also, ∠OAB = ∠OCD
⟹ ∠OAC + ∠OAB = ∠OCA + ∠OCD ½
⟹ ∠BAC = ∠DCA ½

⇒ 𝟐 [𝟐𝐚 + (𝐦 − 𝟏)𝐝 = 𝟐 [𝟐𝐚 + (𝐧 − 𝟏)𝐝] 1
⇒ 𝟐𝐚(𝐦 − 𝐧) = 𝐝(𝐧𝟐 − 𝐦𝟐 ) − 𝐝(𝐧 − 𝐦) 1

OR

26(b).

Sol. Let the numbers be a − d, a, a + d ½

½
∴ a − d + a + a + d = 24
⟹a=8
Also, (a − d)2 + a2 + (a + d)2 = 194
⟹ (8 − d)2 + 82 + (8 + d)2 = 194 1
2
⟹ d = 1 ⟹ d = ±1
½
∴ Numbers are 7, 8, 9 or 9,8,7 ½

27.

Sol. Let √𝟓 be a rational number.

𝐩
∴ √𝟓 = 𝐪 , where q≠0 and let p & q be co-prime. ½
5q2 = p2 ⟹ p2 is divisible by 5 ⟹ p is divisible by 5 ----- (i) 1
⟹ p = 5a, where ‘a’ is some integer
25a2 = 5q2 ⟹ q2 = 5a2 ⟹q2 is divisible by 5 ⟹ q is divisible by 5 ----- (ii) 1
(i) and (ii) leads to contradiction as ‘p’ and ‘q’ are co-prime. ½
∴ √𝟓 is an irrational number.

Similarly ∠3 = ∠4, ∠5 = ∠6, ∠7 = ∠8 ½

Now, ∠1+∠2+∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 = 360° ½
⇒ 2(∠1+∠8 + ∠4 + ∠5) = 360°
