Hence, the value of k is

Q2. Let AB and CD be the two towers of heights x and y, respectively.

Suppose E is the centre of the line joining the feet of the two towers i.e. BD.

Now, in ∆ ABE,
𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴

NOW BE = DE …… (3) (E is mid – point of BD)

So, from (1) , (2) and (3) we get

𝑥𝑥 1

Hence, the ratio of x and y is 1: 3.

Q3. There are 26 letters in English alphabets.

∴ Total number of outcomes = 26

We know that there are 5 vowels and 21 consonants in English alphabets.

Q4. PA and PB are tangents drawn from an external point P to the circle.

∴ PA = PB (Length of tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal)

In ∆ PAB,

PA = PB

⇒ ∠ PBA = ∠PAB ……… (1) (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal.)

Now,

∠APB + ∠PBA + ∠PAB = 180°

⇒ 50° + ∠PAB + ∠PAB = 180° [Using (1)]

⇒ 2∠PAB = 130°
130°
⇒ ∠PAB = = 65°
2
We know that radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact

∴ ∠ OAP = 90° (OA ⊥ PA)

⇒ ∠PAB + ∠OAB = 90°

⇒ 65° + ∠OAB = 90°

⇒ ∠OAB = 90° - 65° = 25°

Hence the measure of ∠OAB is 25°

SECTION – B

Q5. We know that the angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is twice the angle subtended
by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

∴ ∠AOQ = 2 ∠ ABQ
1
⇒ ∠ABQ = ∠ AOQ
2

1
⇒ ∠ABQ = × 58° = 29°
2

or ∠ABT = 29°

We know that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact

∴ ∠OAT = 90° (OA ⊥ AT)

Or ∠BAT = 90°

Now, in ∆BAT,

∠BAT + ABT + ∠ATB = 180°

⇒90° + 29°+∠ATB= 180°

⇒∠ATB = 61°
∠ATQ = 61°

Q6. We have

4x2 – 4a2x + (a4 – b4) =0

⇒ (4x2 -4a2x +a4) –b4 =0

⇒[(2x) 2 -2 (2x) (a) + (a2)2] – b4 = 0


⇒(2x – a2)2 – (b2)2 = 0

⇒ (2x – a2 +b2) (2x – a2 –b2) =0

⇒ 2x – a2 +b2 = 0 or 2x – a2 – b2 = 0

⇒ 2x = a2 – b2 or 2x = a2 + b2

Q7.

TP and TQ are tangents drawn from an external point T to the circle. O is the centre of the circle.

Suppose OT intersect PQ at point R.

In ∆OPT AND ∆OQT,

OP= OQ (Radii of the circle)

TP = TQ (Lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal )

OT = OT (Common sides)

∴ ∆ OPT ≅ ∆ OQT (BY SSS congruence rule)

So, ∠PTO = ∠QTO (BY CPCT) .……… (1)

Now, in ∆PRT and ∆QRT,

TP =TQ (Lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal)

∠PTO = ∠QTO [From (1)]

RT = RT (Common sides)
∴ ∆PRT ≅ ∆QRT (By SAS congruence rule)

So, PR = QR ………. (2) (By CPCT)

And, ∠
PRT = ∠QRT (BY CPCT)

Now,

∠PRT +∠QRT = 180° (Linear Pair)

⇒2∠PRT = 90°

⇒ 2 ∠PRT = 90°

∴ ∠PRT = ∠QRT = 90° ……(3)

From (2) and (3) we can conclude that

OT is the right bisector of the line segment PQ.

Q8. The given anthmetic progression is

6, 13, 20…., 216

Let 216 be the nth term of the given AP.


So,
a=6
d =7
an = 216
Now,
a n = a + (n - 1)d

⇒216 = 6 + (n - 1) × 7

⇒7(n-1) = 210

⇒n - 1 = 30

⇒n = 31, which is odd

∴ Middle term of the AP


31+1 th
=( ) term of the AP
2
P

= 16th term of the AP


∴ a 16 =6+16-1×7=6+15×7=6+105=111

Thus, the middle term of the given AP is 111.

Q9. Using distance formula, we have

AB = �(2 − 5)2 + (−2 − 2)2 = √9 + 16 = 5 ……. (1)

BC =�(−2 − 2)2 + (𝑡𝑡 + 2)2 =√𝑡𝑡 2 + 4𝑡𝑡 + 20 ……… (2)

AC = �(−2 − 5)2 + (𝑡𝑡 − 2)2 = = √𝑡𝑡 2 − 4𝑡𝑡 + 53 …. (3)

Now, it is given that ∆ABC is right angled at B.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have

AB2 +BC2 = AC2

∴ 25 + t2 + 4t + 20 = t2 - 4t + 53 [From (1) (2) and (3)]

⇒45 + 4t = -4t + 53

⇒ 8t = 8

⇒t=1

Hence, the value of t is 1.

SECTION - C

Q11. Let the coordinates of points B and C of the ∆ABC be (a 1 , b 1 ) and (a 2 , b 2 ), respectively.

Q is the midpoint of AB.

Using midpoint formula, we have


𝑎𝑎 1 +1 𝑏𝑏1 −4
(0, -1)= ,
2 2

𝑎𝑎 1 +1 𝑏𝑏1 −4
⇒ =0 and =-1
2 2

⇒ a 1 =-1 and b 1 =2

Therefore, the coordinates of B are (-1,2).


P is the midpoint of AC.

Now,
𝑎𝑎 2 +1 𝑏𝑏2 −4
(2, -1) = ,
2 2

𝑎𝑎 2 +1 𝑏𝑏2 −4
⇒ = 2 and = -1
2 2

⇒ a 2 = 3 and b 2 =2

Therefore, the coordinates of C are (3,2).

Thus, the vertices of ∆ABC are A(1, -4), B (-1,2) and C(3,2).

Now,

Area of the triangle having vertices (x 1, y 1 ),(x 2 , y 2 ),(x 3 ,y 3 ) = 12x1y2-y3+2y3-y1+x3y1-y2


1
∴ Area of ∆ABC = [x 1 (y 2 - y 3 ) + x 2 (y 3 - y 1) + 3 (y 1 - y 2 )]
2

1
= × [1 (2 - 2) + -1(2 + 4) + 3(-4 - 2)]
2

=-12

Since area is a measure that cannot be negative, we will take the numerical value of – 12, that is 12.

Thus , the area of ∆ABC is 12 square units.

Q12

We have

kx2 + 1 - 2(k - 1) x + x2 = 0

This equation can be rearranged as

(k + 1) x2 - 2(k - 1)x + 1 = 0

Here, a = k+1, b = -2(k-1) and c =1

∴ D = b2 – 4ac

= [-2(k-1)2] – 4 × (k + 1) × 1

=4[(k-1)2 – (k+1)]

= 4[k2 – 3k]
= 4[k (k -3)]

The given equations will have equal roots, if D = 0.

⇒ 4[k (k-3)] = 0

⇒ k = 0 or k -3 = 0

⇒ k= 3

Putting k= 3 in the given equation , we get

4x2 - 4x + 1 =0

⇒(2x-1)2 = 0

⇒ 2x -1 =0

⇒ x =1/2

Hence, the roots of the given equation are 1/2 and 1/2.

Q13

Let AB the building and CD be the tower.

CD/BD=tan 45°

⇒30/BD =1

⇒ BD =30m
In ∆ABD,
𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
= tan 30°
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵

1
⇒ AB = BD ×
√3

⇒ AB= 10√3 m

Therefore, the height of the building is 10√3 m.

are (1, 4), (2, 3), (4, 1) and (3, 2).

Total number of favorable outcomes = 4

∴ PE =4/36 =1/9

(ii) The outcomes favourable to the event ‘even numbers on both dice’ denoted by F are
(2, 2), ( 2,4),(2,6), (4,2),(4,4),(4,6), (6,2), (6,4) and (6,6).

Total number of favouable outcomes = 9

∴PF =9/36 = 1/4

⇒ S 8 = 4(2a + 7d) and S 4 = 2(2a + 3d)

⇒S 8 = 8a + 28d and S 4 =4a + 6d

Now,

3(S 8 – S 4 ) =3(8a+28d-4a-6d)

= 3(4a+22d)

=6(2a+11d)
12
= [2a+ (12-1) d]

=S 12

∴ S 12 =3(S 8 -S 4 )

∴ Total surface area of the frustum = 𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋(r 1 +r 2 ) +πr 1 2 + πr 2 2

Hence, the total surface area of the remaining solid is 350.592 cm2.

Given: A circle C (o,r) and a tangent l at point A

To prove: OA ⊥ /

Construction:

Take a point B, other than A, on the tangent l. Join OB. Suppose OB meets the circle in C.

Proof: We know that among all line segments joining the point O to a point on /, the
perpendicular is shortest to /.

OA = OC (Radius of the same circle)

Now,

OB=OC+BC

⇒ OB > OC

⇒ OB > OA

⇒ OA < OB

B is an arbitrary point on the tangent l . Thus, OA is shorter than any other line segment joining
O to any point on l .

Here,

OA ⊥ l
Hence, the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of
contact.

25.

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

∴ PQ = PR

In ∆ PQR,

PQ = PR

∴ ∠PQR = ∠PRQ (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal).

Now in ∆ PQR,

∠ PQR + ∠ PRQ + ∠ RQP =1800

2 ∠ RQP = 1800-300

∠ RQP = 750

Also, radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.

∴ ∠OQP = ∠ORP = 90 0

Now, in PQOR,

∠ ROQ + ∠ OQP + ∠ QPR + ∠ PRO = 3600

900 + 900+300 + ∠ ROQ = 3600

∠ ROQ = 1500
Since, angle subtended by an arc at any point on the circle is half the angle subtended at the
centre by the same arc.

angle QSR = 750

Also, ∠QSR = ∠SQT (Alternate interior angles)

∴ ∠SQT =750

Now,

∠ SQT + ∠ PQR + ∠ SQR = 1800

750 + 750 + ∠ SQR = 1800

∠ SQR =300

26.

Given: A ∆ABC with BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 60 0 = and AB = 6 cm

Steps of Construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.


2. With B as centre, ∠B = 60 0 .
3. With B as centre and radius BC=7 cm, draw an arc.
4. Join AC to obtain ∆ ABC.
5. Below AB, make an acute angle ∠BAX .
6. Along AX, mark off four points A 1 , A 2 , A 3 and A 4 such that AA 1 =A 1 A 2 =A 2 A 3 =A 3 A 4 .
7. Join A 4 B.
8. From A 3 , draw A 3 B’//A 4 B
9. From B’ draw B’C’//BC
Thus, ∆ AB’C’ is the required triangle with each of its side (3/4) times the size of the
corresponding sides of ∆ ABC.

28. Total number of cards = 20

(i) Numbers divisible by 2 or 3 are 2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18and 20.

Total favorable number of cards =13

Probability that the number on the drawn card is divisible by 2 or 3=(Total favorable number of
cards /Total number of cards)

= (13/20)

(ii) Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,17and19

Total favorable number of cards =8

Probability that the number on the drawn card is a prime number=

(Total favorable number of cards/ Total number of cards)=(8/20)=(2/5)

Let the vertices of the quadrilateral be A(-4,8), B(-3,-4), C(0,-5)and D(5,6).

Join AC to form two triangles, namely, ∆ ABC and ∆ ACD.

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ∆ ABC+ Area of ∆ ACD

We know

Area of triangle having vertices (x 1 ,y 1 ),(x 2 ,y 2 ),(x 3 ,y 3 ) = (1/2)(x 1 (y 2 -y 3 )+x 2 (y 3 -y 1 )+x 3 (y 1 -y 2 ))

Now,

Area of ∆ ABC = (1/2)((-4)(-4+5) + (-3)(-5-8) + 0 (8+4))

= (1/2)(-4+39)

= (35/2)

Area of ∆ ACD =(1/2)((-4)(-6-5) +5(-5-8) +0 (8-6))

= (1/2)(-44-65)

= (109/2)

∴ Area of quadrilateral ABCD=Area of ∆ ABC + Area of ∆ ACD = (35/2)+(109/2)=72 square units

Thus, the area of quadrilateral ABCD is 72 square units.

Depth (h 1 ) of the well = 14 m

Radius (r 1 ) of the circular end of the well = (4/2) m =2 m

Height (h 2 ) of embankment = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Let the width of embankment be x.

From the figure, it can be observed that the embankment will be cylindrical in shape having
outer radius (r 2 ) as (2 +x) m and inner radius (r 1 ) as 2 m.

Volume of earth dug from the well = Volume of earth used to form embankment

Πr 1 2h 1 = π(r 2 2 – r 1 2)h 2

Π(2)214 = π((2+x)2 – 22)

X2+4x-40 =0

(x-10)(x+14) =0

X =10 m

Therefore, the width of the embankment will be 10 m.

31. Increase in the level of water in half an hour, h=3.15 m=315 cm

Radius of the water tank, r=40 cm

Volume of water that falls in the tank in half an hour

= πr2h

= π(40)2(315)
= 5,04,000π cm3

Rate of flow of water = 2.52 km/h

Length of water column in half an hour = 2.522 = 1.26km = 1,26,000 cm

Let the internal diameter of the cylindrical pipe be d.

Volume of the water that flows through the pipe in half an hour = π (d/2)2(126000) cm3

We know

Volume of the water that flows through the pipe in half an hour = Volume of water that falls in
the tank in half an hour

Π(d/2)2(126000) =5,04,000π

(d/2)2 = 4

d2 =16

d =4

Thus, the internal diameter of the pipe is 4 cm.
