14. By observing the data given above, the required frequency distribution table can be

x − y + 12 = 0.
Therefore, 7x − y = 0 and x − y + 12 = 0 are two lines passing through point (2, 14).
As it is known that through one point, infinite number of lines can pass through,
therefore, there are infinite lines of such type passing through the given point.

16. Let the common ratio between the angles be x. Therefore, the angles will be 3x, 5x, 9x,
and 13x respectively.
As the sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360º,
3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360º
30x = 360º
x = 12º
Hence, the angles are
3x = 3 × 12 = 36º
5x = 5 × 12 = 60º
9x = 9 × 12 = 108º
13x = 13 × 12 = 156º

17. The below given steps will be followed to construct the required triangle.

Here, the rectangle bars are of the same length and have equal spacing in between them.
(ii) Political party ‘A’ won maximum number of seats.

20. Let the distance travelled and the work done by the body be x and y respectively. Work
done distance travelled y x y = kx
Where, k is a constant
If constant force is 5 units, then work done y = 5x
It can be observed that point (1, 5) and (−1, −5) satisfy the above equation. Therefore,
these are the solutions of this equation. The graph of this equation is constructed as
follows.

(i)From the graphs, it can be observed that the value of y corresponding to x = 2 is 10.
This implies that the work done by the body is 10 units when the distance travelled by it
is 2 units.

(ii) From the graphs, it can be observed that the value of y corresponding to x = 0
is 0. This implies that the work done by the body is 0 units when the distance
travelled by it is 0 unit.

21. (i) Radius of sphere = 7 cm

Volume of sphere =

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 1437 cm3.

(ii) Radius of sphere = 0.63 m

Volume of sphere =

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 1.05 m3 (approximately).

22. (i) In ∆APD and ∆CQB,

ADP = CBQ (Alternate interior angles for BC || AD)
AD = CB (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
DP = BQ (Given)
∆APD ∆CQB (Using SAS congruence rule)
(ii) As we had observed that ∆APD ∆CQB,
AP = CQ (CPCT)
(iii) In ∆AQB and ∆CPD,
ABQ = CDP (Alternate interior angles for AB || CD)

Cbse-spot.blogspot.com
Cbse-spot.blogspot.com

BQ = DP (Given)
∆AQB ∆CPD (Using SAS congruence rule)
(iv) As we had observed that ∆AQB ∆CPD,
AQ = CP (CPCT)
(v) From the result obtained in (ii) and (iv),
AQ = CP and
AP = CQ
Since opposite sides in quadrilateral APCQ are equal to each other, APCQ is a
parallelogram.

23. (i) In ∆APB and ∆CQD, APB = CQD (Each 90°)

AB = CD (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
ABP = CDQ (Alternate interior angles for AB || CD)
∆APB ∆CQD (By AAS congruency)
(ii) By using the above result
∆APB ∆CQD, we obtain AP
= CQ (By CPCT)

24. (i) It can be observed that the length of leaves is represented in a discontinuous class
interval having a difference of 1 in between them. Therefore, has to be added to
each upper class limit and also have to subtract 0.5 from the lower class limits so as to
make the class intervals continuous.

Length (in mm) Number of leaves

117.5 − 126.5 3

126.5 − 135.5 5

135.5 − 144.5 9

144.5 − 153.5 12

153.5 − 162.5 5

Cbse-spot.blogspot.com
Cbse-spot.blogspot.com

162.5 − 171.5 4

171.5 − 180.5 2

Taking the length of leaves on x-axis and the number of leaves on y-axis, the histogram of this
information can be drawn as above.
Here, 1 unit on y-axis represents 2 leaves.
(ii) Other suitable graphical representation of this data is frequency polygon.
(iii) No, as maximum number of leaves (i.e., 12) has their length in between 144.5
mm and 153.5 mm. It is not necessary that all have their lengths as 153 mm.

25.

In ∆ABC, P and Q are the mid-points of sides AB and BC

respectively.
∴ PQ || AC and PQ =
AC (Using mid-point theorem) ... (1)
In ∆ADC,
R and S are the mid-points of CD and AD respectively.

Cbse-spot.blogspot.com
Cbse-spot.blogspot.com

∴ RS || AC and RS = AC (Using mid-point theorem) ... (2)

From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
PQ || RS and PQ = RS
Since in quadrilateral PQRS, one pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel to each
other, it is a parallelogram.
Let the diagonals of rhombus ABCD intersect each other at point O.
In quadrilateral OMQN,
MQ || ON ( PQ || AC)
QN || OM ( QR || BD)
Therefore, OMQN is a parallelogram.
⇒ ∠MQN = NOM
⇒ ∠PQR = NOM
However, NOM = 90° (Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other)
∴ ∠PQR = 90°

Clearly, PQRS is a parallelogram having one of its interior angles as 90º.

Hence, PQRS is a rectangle.

26. Let us draw an equilateral triangle of side 5 cm. We know that all sides of an equilateral
triangle are equal. Therefore, all sides of the equilateral triangle will be 5 cm. We also
know that each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60º.
The below given steps will be followed to draw an equilateral triangle of 5 cm side.
Step I: Draw a line segment AB of 5 cm length. Draw an arc of some radius, while
taking A as its centre. Let it intersect AB at P.
Step II: Taking P as centre, draw an arc to intersect the previous arc at E. Join AE.
Step III: Taking A as centre, draw an arc of 5 cm radius, which intersects extended line
segment AE at C. Join AC and BC. ∆ABC is the required equilateral triangle of side 5
cm.

Justification of Construction:
We can justify the construction by showing ABC as an equilateral triangle i.e., AB = BC
= AC = 5 cm and A = B = C = 60°.
In ∆ABC, we have AC = AB = 5 cm and A = 60°.
Since AC = AB,
∠ B = ∠C (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle)
In ∆ABC,
A+ B+ C = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)
60° + C+ C = 180°
60° + 2 C = 180°
⇒ 2 ∠C = 180° − 60° = 120°
⇒ ∠C = 60°

∴ ∠B = C = 60°
We have, A= B= C = 60° ... (1)
⇒ ∠A = B and A= C
BC = AC and BC = AB (Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle)
AB = BC = AC = 5 cm ... (2)
From equations (1) and (2), ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.

27. (1) In one variable, 2x + 9 = 0 represents a point as shown in the following

figure.

(2) In two variables, 2x + 9 = 0 represents a straight line passing through point

(−4.5, 0) and parallel to y-axis. It is a collection of all points of the plane, having their
xcoordinate as 4.5.

28. Radius (r ) of metallic ball =

Volume of metallic ball =

Mass = Density × Volume

= (8.9 × 38.808) g
= 345.3912 g

Cbse-spot.blogspot.com
Cbse-spot.blogspot.com

Hence, the mass of the ball is 345.39 g (approximately).

29.

Let ABCD be a rhombus in which diagonals are intersecting at point O and a circle is
drawn while taking side CD as its diameter. We know that a diameter subtends 90° on
the arc.
∴ ∠COD = 90°

Also, in rhombus, the diagonals intersect each other at 90°.

AOB = BOC = COD = DOA = 90°
Clearly, point O has to lie on the circle.

30. ABCD is a parallelogram.

AB || CD
And hence, AE || FC
Again, AB = CD (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)

AB = CD
AE = FC (E and F are mid-points of side AB and CD)
In quadrilateral AECF, one pair of opposite sides (AE and CF) is parallel and equal to
each other. Therefore, AECF is a parallelogram.
⇒ AF || EC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
In ∆DQC, F is the mid-point of side DC and FP || CQ (as AF || EC). Therefore, by using
the converse of mid-point theorem, it can be said that P is the mid-point of DQ.
⇒ DP = PQ ... (1)

Cbse-spot.blogspot.com
Cbse-spot.blogspot.com

Similarly, in ∆APB, E is the mid-point of side AB and EQ || AP (as AF || EC).

Therefore, by using the converse of mid-point theorem, it can be said that Q is the
mid-point of PB.
⇒ PQ = QB ... (2)
From equations (1) and (2),
DP = PQ = BQ
Hence, the line segments AF and EC trisect the diagonal BD.

31. The marks of 15 students in mathematics test are

41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60

Arranging the scores obtained by 15 students in an ascending order,

39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98
As the number of observations is 15 which is odd, therefore, the median of data will be
= 8th observation whether the data is arranged in an ascending or descending order.

Therefore, median score of data = 52

Mode of data is the observation with the maximum frequency in data. Therefore, mode
of this data is 52 having the highest frequency in data as 3.

32.

Let two chords AB and CD are intersecting each other at point O.

In ∆AOB and ∆COD,

Cbse-spot.blogspot.com
Cbse-spot.blogspot.com

OA = OC (Given)
OB = OD (Given)
AOB = COD (Vertically opposite angles)
∆AOB ∆COD (SAS congruence rule)
AB = CD (By CPCT)
Similarly, it can be proved that ∆AOD ∆COB
AD = CB (By CPCT)
Since in quadrilateral ACBD, opposite sides are equal in length, ACBD is a
parallelogram.
We know that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
∴ ∠A = C
However, A+ C = 180° (ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠A + A = 180°
⇒ 2 ∠A = 180°

⇒ ∠A = 90°

As ACBD is a parallelogram and one of its interior angles is 90°, therefore, it is a

rectangle.
∠A is the angle subtended by chord BD. And as A = 90°, therefore, BD should be the
diameter of the circle. Similarly, AC is the diameter of the circle.

33. (i)Radius of 1 solid iron sphere = r

Volume of 1 solid iron sphere

34. Arranging the data in an ascending order,

14, 14, 14, 14, 17, 18, 18, 18, 22, 23, 25, 28
It can be observed that 14 has the highest frequency, i.e. 4, in the given data. Therefore, mode
of the given data is 14.
