PHYSICS

1)

Incident ray, reflected ray and the normal drawn at the point of incidence to the reflecting
surface, lie in the same plane.

2) For a fixed incident ray, if the mirror be rotated by an angle θ, the reflected ray turns by an
angle 2θ in the same direction.
Hence, the shift in angle between the initial reflected ray and final reflected ray is 36°,
anticlockwise.

3) Here, ∠i = ∠r = 0°

∴ R = 2f = 2 ×

∴ magnitude of (approx)

17) Object height, h1 = + 2 cm

Image height, h2 = – 3 cm (real image hence inverted)
Object distance, u = – 16 cm; image distance, v = ?
Focal length, f = ?
From the expression for magnification

m=

we have, v = – u

Putting values, we get v = –(–16) ×

v = – 24 cm
The image is formed at distance of 24 cm in front of the mirror (negative sing means object
and image are on the same side).

76) 6x + 3y = 6xy ……….. (1) 2x + 4y = 5xy ……….. (2)

Divide both equations (1) and (2) both sides by xy

Equations will be
6v + 3u = 6 ………….. (3)
2v + 4u = 5 ………….. (4)
Multiplying (4) by 3 and subtract by equation (3)
6v + 12u = 15 ………….. (5)
6v + 3u = 6

77) Let initial no of students Inside = x

Outside = y
3x = 4y + x
x = 2y
x + y = 36
2y + y = 36
y = 12 x = 24

78) Given equations are

141x + 93y = 189 … (1)
93x + 141y = 45 … (2)
Adding equation (1) and (2), we get
234x + 234y = 234
Or x + y = 1 … (3)
Also, subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get
48(x – y) = 144
x-y = 3
x = 2 & y = –1
x+y=1

80) (i) → Denominator has 3 and 7 as extra factors. So, this is non-
terminating repeating decimal.

(ii) → Terminating decimal.

81) L.C.M. of 8, 15 and 20

L.C.M = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 120
To make 120 a perfect square, it should be multiplied by 2, 3 and 5.
So, the required number = 120 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 3600

82) f(x) = x2 + 99x + 127

Sum of roots = – 99 i.e., α + β = – 99
Product of roots = 127 i.e., αβ = 127
If sum of both roots is negative and product is positive then we can say both the roots are
negative. Option (2) is correct.

83) x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = –1
P(x) is exactly divisible by (x + 1) then

PQ = 12 cm and SR = 9 cm
In ΔPQS
PQ2 = PS2 + QS2 …(i) (By Pythagoras theorem)
In ΔPSR

From (i) and (ii)
PQ2 = (PR2 – SR2) + QS2 [Put value of PS2 in (i) from (ii)]
2 2 2 2

2k = 2
k=1

x2 + kx – 3 = (x – 3)(x + 1) [given]
⇒ x2 + kx – 3 = x2 + x – 3x – 3
⇒ x2 + kx – 3 = x2 – 2x – 3
⇒ kx = –2x
⇒ k = –2
