22. On comparing the ratios , , ,
𝒂 𝟐 𝒃 𝟐 𝒄𝟐
find out whether the pair of linear equations are consistent or

inconsistent:

𝟑𝟐𝒙 + 𝟓𝟑𝒚 = 𝟕; 𝟗𝒙 − 𝟏𝟎𝒚 = 𝟏𝟒.

SOLUTION:

32𝑥 + 53𝑦 − 7 = 0; 9𝑥 − 10𝑦 − 14 = 0

𝑎1 = 32; 𝑎2 = 9; 𝑏1 = 53; 𝑏2 = −10; 𝑐1 = −7; 𝑐2 = −14

𝑎1 32 𝑏1 53 𝑐1 −7 1
𝑎2
= 9
; 𝑏2
= −10 ; 𝑐2
= −14 = 2

𝑎 𝑏
Here, 𝑎1 ≠ 𝑏1
2 2

∴ Pair of linear equations have unique solution, so the system is consistent.

OR
In figure, ABCD is a rectangle. Find the values of x and y.

SOLUTION:
Since ABCD is a rectangle.
AB = CD BC = AD
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 30 ------- (i) 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 14 ------ (ii)
Adding equation (i) & (ii)
2𝑥 = 44 ⇒ 𝒙 = 𝟐𝟐
From equation (i) 𝒚 = 𝟖

23. Find the zeroes of the polynomial 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟑 and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the

coefficients.

SOLUTION:

𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 3 So, 𝛼 = √3 ; 𝛽 = −√3

For zeroes of 𝑃(𝑥), we take 𝑃(𝑥) = 0 Verification:

𝑏 0
∴ 𝑥2 − 3 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥2 = 3 𝛼 + 𝛽 = − ⇒ √3 − √3 = ⇒ 𝟎 = 𝟎
𝑎 1

𝑐 −3
⇒ 𝒙 = ±√𝟑 𝛼 ∙ 𝛽 = 𝑎 ⇒ √3 × (−√3) = 1
⇒ −𝟑 = −𝟑
24. Determine if the points are (1, 5), (2, 3) and (−2, −11) are collinear.

SOLUTION:

Let A (1, 5); B (2, 3); C (−2, −11)

We use distance formula = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2

∴ AB = √(2 − 1)2 + (3 − 5)2 = √1 + 4 = √5 units

BC = √(−2 − 2)2 + (−11 − 3)2 = √16 + 196 = √212 units

AC = √(−2 − 1)2 + (−11 − 5)2 = √9 + 256 = √265 units

Here AB + BC ≠ AC

Hence, given points are not collinear.

25. Two concentric circles of radii 10 cm and 6 cm are given. Find the length of the chord of the larger

circle which touches the smaller circle.

SOLUTION:

OB = 10 cm (Radius of outer circle)

OD = 6 cm (Radius of inner circle)

Since, OD ⊥ AB (as radius is perpendicular to tangent)

In ΔBOD, by Pythagoras theorem,

BM = √BO2 − OD2 ⇒ BM = √102 − 62 ⇒ BM = √64 ⇒ BM = 8 cm.

∴ AB = 2AM (as perpendicular from centre bisects the chord)

⇒ 𝐀𝐁 = 𝟐 × 𝟖 = 𝟏𝟔 cm

OR

PQ is a tangent drawn from a point P to a circle of centre O and QOR is a diameter of the circle such

that ∠POR = 110°, Find ∠OPQ.

SOLUTION:

Here, ∠OQP = 90° (as radius is perpendicular to tangent)

In ΔOQP, by Exterior angle property

∠ROP = ∠OPQ + ∠OQP
⇒ 110° = ∠OPQ + 90° ⇒ ∠OPQ = 20°
 SECTION – C

(Section C consists of 6 questions of 3 marks each.)

26. Prove that √𝟓 is an irrational number.

SOLUTION:

Let √5 be a rational number, So by definition of rational number,

𝑎
√5 = 𝑏 (Where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are coprime and 𝑏 ≠ 0)

⇒ √5𝑏 = 𝑎

⇒ 5𝑏 2 = 𝑎2 (Squaring both sides) ------ (i)

By fundamental theorem of Arithmetic,

𝑎2 is divisible by 5, So 𝑎 is also divisible by 5. ----- (A)

Let 𝑎 = 5𝑐 (Where c is some integer)

From equation (i)

5𝑏 2 = (5𝑐)2

⇒ 5𝑏 2 = 25𝑐 2

⇒ 𝑏 2 = 5𝑐 2 ------ (ii)

Again, by fundamental theorem of Arithmetic,

𝑏 2 is divisible by 5, So 𝑏 is also divisible by 5. ----- (B)

From statements (A) and (B), we can observe that 5 is a factor of both 𝑎 and 𝑏. But this contradicts the fact

that 𝑎 & 𝑏 are coprime.

This contradiction occurs due to our wrong assumption.

Hence, √5 is an irrational number. Hence Proved

27. In the figure, if △ABC ∼ △DEF and their sides are of lengths (in cm) as marked along them, then find

the lengths of the sides of each triangle.

SOLUTION:

Given that, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

AB BC AC
By CPST - = =
DE EF DF

2𝑥−1 2𝑥+2 3𝑥
⇒ = = AB = 2(5) – 1 = 9 cm; BC = 2(5) + 2 = 12 cm
18 3𝑥+9 6𝑥

2𝑥−1 3𝑥 2𝑥−1 1
∴ By taking 18
= 6𝑥 ⇒ 18
=2 AC = 3(5) = 15 cm; DE = 18 cm

⇒ 2𝑥 − 1 = 9 ⇒ 𝒙 = 𝟓 EF = 3(5) + 9 = 24 cm; DF = 6(5) = 30 cm

 OR

E and F are points on the sides PQ and PR respectively of a △PQR. For PQ = 1.28 cm, PR = 2.56 cm,

PE = 0.18 cm and PF = 0.36 cm, state whether EF || QR.

SOLUTION:

Given that – PQ = 1.28 cm; PR = 2.56 cm; PE = 0.18 cm; PF = 0.36 cm

So, EQ = PQ – PE = 1.28 − 0.18 = 1.10 cm

FR = PR − PF = 2.56 − 0.36 = 2.20 cm

PE 0.18 18 9
Now, = = =
EQ 1.10 110 55

PF 0.36 36 9
= = =
FR 2.20 220 55

PE PF
Here, EQ
= FR

So, by the basic proportionality theorem (B.P.T.)

We have EF || QR.

28. From an external point P, two tangents, PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O. At one point E

on the circle tangent is drawn which intersects PA and PB at C and D respectively. If PA = 10 cm, find

the perimeter of the triangle PCD.

SOLUTION:

We know that tangents drawn from an external point are equal in length.

So, For Point P; PA = PB = 10 cm ----- (i)

For point C; CE = CA ----- (ii)

For point D; DE = DB ----- (iii)

Now, Perimeter of ΔPCD = PC + PD + CD = PC + PD + CE + ED

= PC + PD + CA + DB {Form equation (ii) and (iii)}

= (PC + CA) + (PD + DB) = PA + PB

∴ Perimeter of ΔPCD = 10 + 10 = 20 cm

OR

Two tangents TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external point T. Prove that

∠PTQ = 2∠OPQ.

SOLUTION:

As lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal, therefore TP = TQ.
 ∴ ΔPQT is an isosceles triangle.

1 𝜃
∴ ∠TPQ = ∠TQP = 2 (180° − 𝜃) = 90° − (2 )

Also, tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

∴ ∠ OPQ = ∠OPT − ∠TPQ

𝜃 1 1
= 90° − (90° − 2 ) = 2 𝜃 = 2 ∠PTQ

Thus, ∠PTQ = 2∠OPQ Hence proved.

29. If a 1.5 m tall girl stands at a distance of 3m from a lamp-post and casts a shadow of length 4.5 m on the

ground then find the height of the lamp-post.

SOLUTION:

Let AB be the lamp-post and CD be the girl.

Let CE be the shadow of CD. Then, CD = 1.5 m, CE = 4.5 m and AC = 3 m. Let AB = h m.

Now, as the lamp-post and the girl stands vertical on the ground so, ∠BAE = ∠DCE = 90° and point E, C and

lie on the same straight line. Then,

EA = EC + AC ⇒ EA = 4.5 + 3 ⇒ EA = 7.5..................(1)

Now, In ΔAEB and ΔCED

∠BAE = ∠DCE = 90° {Proved above}

∠AEB = ∠CED {Common Angle}

So, by AA similarity criteria- ΔAEB ~ ΔCED

𝐴𝐵 𝐶𝐷 h 1.5 1
∴ by CPST = ⇒ = ⇒ h = × 7.5 = 2.5 m
𝐴𝐸 𝐶𝐸 3+4.5 4.5 3

Thus, the height of the lamp-post will be 2.5 m.

30. Form the pair of linear equations in the problem, and find its solution graphically. Champa went to a
sale to purchase some pants and skirts. When her friends asked her how many of each she had bought,
she answered, "The number of skirts is two less than the twice the number of pants purchased. Also, the
number of skirts is four less than four times the number of pants purchased.” Help her friends to find
how many pants and skirts Champa bought.
SOLUTION:

Let the number of pants = 𝑥 and the number of skirts = 𝑦

According to the equation Number of skirts = 2(Number of pants) − 2 x 0 2

𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 2 .......(i) y −2 2
 Also, Number of skirts = 4(Number of pants) − 4

𝑦 = 4𝑥 − 4 .......(ii)
x 0 1

y −4 0

The point of intersection of these lines is (1, 0)

Hence, the number of pants she purchased is 1 and the number of

skirts, she purchased is zero i.e., she didn't buy any skirt.

31. Consider △ACB right angled at C in which AB = 29 units, BC = 21 units and ∠ABC = θ. Determine the

values of (i) 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝟐 𝜽 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝟐 𝜽 (ii) 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝟐 𝜽 − 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝟐 𝜽

SOLUTION:

In ΔABC, By Pythagoras theorem, ⇒ AC 2 = AB 2 − BC 2

⇒ AC 2 = 292 − 212 = (29 + 21) (29 − 21) = 50 × 8

⇒ AC 2 = 25 × 16

⇒ AC = 5 × 4 = 20 units

BC 21 AC 20

29 29 841

21 2 20 2 441−400 41
(ii) cos2 θ − sin2 θ = (29) − (29) = 841
= 841

32. Find the positive value of k for which 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟖𝒙 + 𝒌 = 𝟎, will have real roots.

SOLUTION:

𝑎 = 1; 𝑏 = −8; 𝑐=𝑘

The quadratic will have real root only when its discriminant will be greater than or equal to 0

Discriminant of given equation D = 𝑏 2 − 4𝑎𝑐 ≥ 0

⇒ (−8)2 − 4 × 1 × 𝑘 ≥ 0 ⇒ 64 − 4𝑘 ≥ 0

⇒ 4𝑘 ≤ 64 ⇒ 𝑘 ≤ 16

So, the value of k should be less than or equal to 16.

 OR

⇒ 5𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 2 = 4𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 2

⇒ 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4 = 0 ⇒ (𝑥 + 2)2 = 0

⇒𝑥+2=0 ⇒ 𝑥 = −2

33. In the given figure, line segment DF intersect the side AC of a triangle △ABC at the point E such that E

𝐁𝐃 𝐁𝐅
is the mid–point of CA and ∠AEF = ∠AFE. Prove that: 𝐂𝐃 = 𝐂𝐄.

SOLUTION:

Given- DF intersects side AC of a △ABC and 'E' is the midpoint of side AC.

Also, In △AEF, ∠AEF = ∠AFE ----- (i)

⇒ AE = AF {sides opposite to equal angles are equal} ----- (ii)

BF CE
We have to prove that, BD = CD

Since 'E' the midpoint of CA, then CE = AE ----- (iii)

from equation (ii) & (iii) we get,

CE = AE = AF ⇔ CE = AF ----- (iv)

let us draw a parallel from CG to DF

as we know that corresponding angles are equal,

∴ ∠AFE = ∠AGC (from the figure) ----- (v)

and also, we get, ∠AFE = ∠AGC ----- (vi)

From equation (i), (v) and (vi)

∠AEF = ∠AFE = ∠ACG = ∠AGC.

We know that sides opposite to equal angles are equal.

So, AC = AG ----- (vii)

We know, AC = CE + AE

AG = AF + GF
 So, equation (vii) becomes CE + AE = AF + GF

From (iv) and (vii), AE = CE = AF = GF

CE = AF = GF ---- (viii)

Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT) states that if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect

the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.

CB BG
By BPT, DC
= GF

Adding 1 on both sides,

CB BG CB+DC BG+GF
⇒ + 1= +1 ⇒ =
DC GF DC GF

From the figure,

⇒ CB + CD = BD and BG + GF = BF

BD BF
So, DC = GF

BD BF
Therefore, it is proven that DC = GF

34. In figure, the square ABCD is divided into five equal parts, all having same area. The central part is

circular and the lines AE, GC, BF and HD lie along the diagonals AC and BD of the square. If AB = 22

cm, find:

(i) the circumference of the central part,

(ii) the perimeter of the part ABEF.

SOLUTION:

Side of the square = 22 cm = AB

Let the radius of the centre part be r cm.

1
Then, area of the circle = 5 × area of the square

1 22 22×22
⇒ πr2 = × 222 ⇒ × 𝑟2 =
5 7 5

154
⇒ 𝑟2 = 5
⇒ 𝑟 = 5.55 cm

22
(i) Circumference of central part = 2πr = 2 ( 7 ) (5.55) = 34.88 cm

(ii) Let O be the centre of the central part. Then, it’s clear that O is also the centre of the square as well.

Now, in ΔABC By Pythagoras theorem

AC 2 = AB 2 + BC 2

⇒ AC 2 = 222 + 222
 ⇒ AC = 22√2 cm
1 1
Since diagonals of a square bisect each other AO = 2 AC = 2 (22√2) = 11√2 cm

And, AE = BF = OA – OE = 11√2 − 5.55 = 15.51 − 5.55 = 9.96 cm

1 2𝜋𝑟
EF = 4 (Circumference of the circle) = 4

1 22
⇒ EF = 2 × 7
× 5.55 = 8.72 cm

Thus, the perimeter of the part ABEF = AB + AE + EF + BF = 22 + 2 × 9.96 + 8.72 = 50.64 cm

OR

An arc subtends an angle of 60° at the centre of a circle with a radius of 21 cm. Find:

(i) the arc’s length

(ii) the area of the segment that the corresponding chord forms.

SOLUTION:

In the circle with radius r and the angle at the centre with a degree measure of θ, here, r = 21 cm, θ = 60°

𝜃
(i) Length of the Arc APB = × 2πr
360°

60° 22
= 360° × 2 × 7
× 21 cm = 22 cm

(ii) Since ∠AOB = 60°, the triangle AOB will be an equilateral triangle.

In ΔAOB; AO = BO (Radii of same circle)

Then, ∠OAB = ∠OBA {Angles opposite to equal sides are equal}

Now, by angle sum property- ∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°

⇒ 2∠OAB = 180° − 60° ⇒ ∠OAB = ∠OBA = 60°

√3 2 √3 441√3
So, Area of ΔAOB = 4
𝑎 = 4
× 21 × 21 = 4

Area of the segment = Area of the sector AOBP − Area of the ΔAOB

𝜃
= 360° × 𝜋𝑟 2 − Ar(ΔAOB)

Therefore, median class = 3000 – 3500 2000 – 2500 56 70
Class size, ℎ = 500 2500 – 3000 60 130
Lower limit of median class, 𝑙 = 3000 3000 – 3500 86 216
Frequency of median class, 𝑓 = 86 3500 – 4000 74 290
Cumulative frequency of class preceding median class, 4000 – 4500 62 352
𝑐𝑓 = 130 4500 – 5000 48 400
𝑛
( −𝑐𝑓)
Median (M) = 𝑙 + [ 2

𝑓

200−130
⇒ M = 3000 + [ 86

70
⇒ M = 3000 + 86 × 500

⇒ M = 3000 + 406.98

⇒ 𝐌 = 3406.98

Therefore, median lifetime of lamps is 3406.98 hours.

(Case Study Based Questions)

(Section E consists of 3 questions. All are compulsory.)

36. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

Mayank a student of class 7th loves watching and playing with birds of different kinds. One day he had

an idea in his mind to make a bird-bath on his garden. His brother who is studying in class 10th helped

him to choose the material and shape of the birdbath. They made it in the

shape of a cylinder with a hemispherical depression at one end as shown

in the Figure below. They opted for the height of the hollow cylinder as

1.45 m and its radius is 30 cm. The cost of material used for making bird

bath is ₹40 per square meter.

(i) Find the curved surface area of the hemisphere.

(ii) Find the total surface area of the bird-bath.

(iii) What is total cost for making the bird bath?

OR

Mayank and his brother thought of increasing the radius of hemisphere to 35 cm with same

material so that birds get more space, then what is the new height of cylinder?

SOLUTION:

Radius of Hemisphere and Cylinder 𝑟 = 30 cm = 0.3 m and Height of the Hollow cylinder = 1.45 m

(i) CSA of hemisphere = 2𝜋𝑟 2 = 2 × 7
× 0.3 × 0.3 = 𝟎. 𝟓𝟔𝟓𝟕 m2

(ii) TSA of the bird-bath = CSA of Cylinder + CSA of Hemisphere

22
= 2𝜋𝑟ℎ + 2𝜋𝑟 2 = 2 × 7
× 0.3 × 1.45 + 0.5657 = 𝟑. 𝟑 m2

(iii) Rate of material used for bird-bath = ₹40 per m2

∴ Cost of making bird-bath = Rate of material × Area of Bird-bath

⇒ Cost of making Bird-bath = 40 × 3.3 = 132 ₹

∴ Cost of making bird-bath = 132 ₹

OR

New radius of the bird-bath (𝑅) = 35 cm = 0.35 m and let new height = 𝐻

Since, they are using the same material used before, the TSA will remain constant.
 ∴ TSA of Bird-bath = 3.3 m2

⇒ CSA of Cylinder + CSA of Hemisphere = 3.3

⇒ 2𝜋𝑅𝐻 + 2𝜋𝑅 2 = 3.3

22 22
⇒2× 7
× 0.35 × 𝐻 + 2 × 7
× 0.35 × 0.35 = 3.3

⇒ 2.2 × 𝐻 + 0.77 = 3.3 ⇒ 2.2 × 𝐻 = 2.53

∴ The new height of the bird-bath = 1.15 m.

37. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

The students of a school decided to beautify the school on an annual day by fixing colourful flags on the

straight passage of the school. They have 27 flags to be fixed at intervals of every 2 metre. The flags are

stored at the position of the middlemost flag. Ruchi was given the responsibility of placing the flags.

Ruchi kept her books where the flags were stored. She could carry only one flag at a time.

(i) How much distance did she cover in pacing 6 flags on either side of centre point?

(ii) Represent above information in Arithmetic progression

(iii) How much distance did she cover in completing this job and returning to collect her books?

OR

What is the maximum distance she travelled carrying a flag?

SOLUTION:

Here we use the concept of A.P.

𝑛 6
(i) 𝑆𝑛 = 2 [2𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑] ⇒ 𝑆6 = 2 [2 × 4 + (6 − 1) × 4] ⇒ 𝑆6 = 3[8 + 20] = 84

∴ Distance covered in placing 6 flags on either side of centre point is 84 + 84 = 168 m.

(ii)
 Let A be the position of the middle-most flag.

Now, there are 13 flags (A1, A2, ..., A12) to the left of A and 13 flags (B1, B2, ..., B13) to the right of A.

Distance covered in fixing flag to A1 = 2 + 2 = 4 m

Distance covered in fixing flag to A2 = 4 + 4 = 8 m

Distance covered in fixing flag to A3 = 6 + 6 = 12 m

...

Distance covered in fixing flag to A13 = 26 + 26 = 52 m

This forms an A.P. with,

First term, a = 4; Common difference, d = 4; n = 13

(iii) Distance covered in fixing 13 flags to the left of A = S13

𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = 2 [2𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑]

13
⇒ 𝑆13 = [2 × 4 + 12 × 4]
2

13 13
⇒ 𝑆13 = [8 + 48] = × 56 = 364
2 2

Similarly, distance covered in fixing 13 flags to the right of A = 364 m

∴ Total distance covered by Ruchi in completing the task = 364 + 364 = 728 m.

OR

Maximum distance travelled by Ruchi in carrying a flag = Distance from A13 to A or B13 to A = 26 m

38. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

A TV tower stands vertically on a bank of a canal. From a point on the other bank of a canal. From a

point on the other bank directly opposite the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60°

from a point 20 m away from this point on the same bank the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is

30°.

(i) Find the width of the canal.

(ii) Find the height of tower.

(iii) Find the distance between top of the tower and point D.

OR

Find the distance between top of tower and point C.

SOLUTION:

(i) Let 'h' (AB) be the height of tower and 𝑥 be the width of the river.
 In ΔABC;

AB ℎ
tan θ = BC ⇒ tan 60° = 𝑥

ℎ
⇒ √3 = 𝑥 ⇒ √3𝑥 = ℎ ----- (i)

In ΔABD;

AB ℎ
tan θ = BD ⇒ tan 30° = 𝑥+20

1 ℎ
⇒ = 𝑥+20 ⇒ √3ℎ = 𝑥 + 20 ----- (ii)
√3

From equation (i) and (ii)

√3 × √3𝑥 = 𝑥 + 20 ⇒ 2𝑥 = 20

⇒ 𝒙 = 𝟏𝟎 m

∴ The width of canal is 10 m.

(ii) From equation (i),

ℎ = √3𝑥 ⇒ ℎ = √3 × 10 = 1.732 × 10

⇒ 𝒉 = 𝟏𝟕. 𝟑𝟐 m

∴ The height of the tower is 17.32 m.

(iii) In ΔABD;

AB ℎ
sin θ = AD ⇒ sin 30° = AD

1 17.32
⇒2= AD
⇒ 𝐀𝐃 = 𝟑𝟒. 𝟔𝟒 m

∴ The distance between top of the tower and point D is 34.64 m.

OR
In ΔABC;

AB ℎ
sin θ = AC ⇒ sin 60° = AC

√3 10√3
⇒ 2
= AC
⇒ 𝐀𝐂 = 𝟐𝟎 m

∴ The distance between top of the tower and point D is 20 m.
