(c) -1
Explanation: For finding value of ‘k’, we put x = 2 and y = -1 iin a equation x + 3y – k = 0
x+3 y-k=0
2+3(-1)=k
2-3=k
k=-1
3.
(c) (-6, 0)
Explanation: Since AL perpendicular to x-axis,
So ,point L lies on x-axis, and we know that for any point on x-axis y-ordinate is zero.
So,we have L= (—6 , 0 )

4.
(d) frequency of the corresponding class interval
Explanation: A histogram is a display of statistical information that uses rectangles to show the frequency of data items in
successive numerical intervals of equal size. In the most common form of histogram, the independent variable is plotted along
the horizontal axis and the dependent variable is plotted along the vertical axis.
5.
(b) 1.x + 0.y = 7
Explanation: The equation x = 7 in two variables can be written as exactly 1.x + 0.y = 7
because it contain two variable x and y and coefficient of y is zero as there is no term containing y
in equation x = 7

6.
(d) Weight of A = Weight of B
Explanation: Let the weights of A and B be x kgs. If both of them gain weight by 3 kgs, their new weight would be 'x + 3' kgs.
According to Euclid's axiom if equals are added in equals, then whole are equal.
Hence, Weight of A = Weight of B.
7.
(d) 95°
Explanation: Given,
AOB = Straight line

Page 8 of 18
 ∠ AOC + ​​∠ BOD = 85o
∠ AOC + ​​∠ COD + ​​∠ BOD = 180o (Straight line)
85o + ​​∠ COD = 180o
∠ COD = 95o

8. (a) 112o
Explanation:
Let angles of parallelogram are ∠ A, ∠ B, ∠ C, ∠ D

Let smallest angle = ∠ A

Let largest angle = ∠ B
= ∠ B = 2∠ A – 24o ...(i)
∠ A + ∠ B = 180o [adjacent angle of parallelogram]
So, ∠ A + 2∠ A -24o = 180o
= 3∠ A = 180o + 24o = 204o
= 68o
o

= ∠A = 204

= ∠ B = 2 × 68o - 24o = 112o

9.
(c) 35
Explanation: Using identity
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
⇒ (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
2 2 2 2
(a+b+c) −( a + b + c )

⇒ ab + bc + ca = 2
2
(10) −(30)
⇒ ab + bc + ca = 2
100−30
⇒ ab + bc + ca = 2

⇒ ab + bc + ca = 70

⇒ ab + bc + ca = 35
10.
(b) (2, 3)
Explanation: We have to check (2, 3) is a solution of 2x – 3y = 12 if (2, 3) satisfy the equation then (2, 3) solution of 2x – 3y =
12
LHS = 2x - 3y
2×2-3×3
4 - 9 = -5
RHS = -5
LHS ≠ RHS
So (2, 3) is not a solution of 2x - 3y = 12
11. (a) x + y - 180°
Explanation: From figure
∠ A = z°

∠ ACB = 180 - z°

∠ ABC = 180 - y°
Now, in △ABC
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°

⇒ z° + 180 - y° + 180° - x° = 180°

⇒ z° = x° + y°- 180°

(c) 3.6 cm
Explanation: E and F are midpoints of sides AB and AC. By midpoint theorem, EF is parallel to BC and EF is 1

2
of BC.
So, EF = 1

2
of (7.2) = 3.6 cm

13. (a) 100o

Explanation: By angle sum proporty for qud.
∠A + ∠B + ∠O + ∠P = 360.

also OA ⊥ AP and OB ⊥ PB.

(∵ OA and PB are radius and tangent of circe)
∴ 90 + 90 + ∠O + ∠P = 360

∠O + 80 = 360 - 180

∠O = 180 - 80

∠O = 100o

14.
(b) Statement-1 is true but Statement-2 is false.
Explanation: Statement-1 is true and statement-2 is false as 0 is a rational number but 1

0
is not defined.

15.
(d) 1st quadrant
Explanation: The positive solutions of the equation ax + by + c = 0 always lie in the 1st quadrant
Because in 1st quadrant both x and y have positive value.

16. (a) BC = EF
Explanation: In ΔABC and ΔDEF
∠B = ∠E and ∠C = ∠F

For congruence, BC = EF
Therefore by AAS axiom
ΔABC ≅ΔDEF

19. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

Page 10 of 18
 a + b + c = 60
a + b + 26 = 60
a + b = 34 ...(i)
Now, 262 = a2 + b2 ...(ii)
Squaring (1) both sides, we get
(a + b)2 = (34)2
a2 + b2 + 2ab = 34 × 34
(26)2 + 2ab = 1156 [From (ii)]
2ab = 1156 - 676
2ab = 480
ab = 240 ...(iii)
Now, a + 240

a
= 34 [From (i) and (iii)]
a2 - 24a - 10a + 240 = 0
a(a - 24) - 10(a - 24) = 0
a = 10, 24

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Through a point infinite lines can be drawn. Through (2, 14) infinite number of lines can be drawn. Also a line
has infinite points on it hence a linear equation representing a line has infinite solutions.
Section B
21. Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose side AB is produced to P to formed exterior ​∠ ​CBP.

To prove: ​∠ ​CBP. = Interior opposite ​∠ ​ADC

Proof : ∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

∵ ​Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary

Also, ​∠ ABC + ​∠ ​CBP = 180° ...(2) |Linear Pair Axiom

From (1) and (2), we have
∠ ABC + ​∠ ​CBP = ​∠ ​ABC + ​∠ ​ABC

a = 12 cm, b = 12 cm

To prove : AB = CD
Construction : Draw OM ⊥ BC

Proof: ∵ The perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
∴ AM = DM
and BM = CM
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
AM - BM = DM - CM
⇒ AB = CD

24. We have, ∠ BAC = 50 ∘

∠ DBC = 70

Therefore, ∠ BDC = ∠ BAC = 50 ... (Angles on same segment)

In triangle BDC, by angle sum property

25. Given, -4x +3y =12 .....(1)
Put value of x = 0 in equation (1), we get
⇒ 0 + 3y = 12

⇒ y=4
Thus, x = 0 and y = 4 is a solution
put value of y = 0 in equation (1), we get
⇒ -4x + 0 = 12

⇒ x = -3

Thus, x = -3 and y = 0 is a solution

OR
We need to express the linear equation y - 2 = 0 in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c.
y - 2 = 0 can also be written as 0⋅ x + 1⋅ y - 2 = 0.
We need to compare the equation 0⋅ x + 1⋅ y - 2 = 0 with the general equation ax + by + c = 0, to get the values of a, b and c.
Therefore, we can conclude that a = 0, b = 1 and c = -2

In triangles AFE and CBD (in above shown figure) , we have

AB = CF (Given)
Adding BF on both the sides, we get:-
AB + BF = CF + BF
or, AF = BC
Now in triangles AFE and CBD, we have AF= CB (Proved above)
∠ AFE = ∠ CBD (Given)

and EF = BD (Given) .So, according to SAS congruency criteria of triangles;

△ AFE ≅ △CBD Hence, proved.

34. We are given that ∠ XYZ = 64o, XY is produced to P and YQ bisects ∠ ZYP We can conclude the given below figure for the given
situation:

Page 15 of 18
 We need to find ∠ XYQ and reflex ∠ QYP
From the given figure, we can conclude that ∠ XYZ and ∠ ZYP form a linear pair.
We know that sum of the angles of a linear pair is 180o.
∠ XYZ + ∠ ZYP = 180o
But ∠ XYZ = 64o
⇒ 64o + ∠ ZYP = 180o
⇒ ∠ ZYP = 116o
Ray YQ bisects ∠ ZYP,or
= 58o
o
116
∠ QYZ = ∠ QYP = 2

∠ XYQ = ∠ QYZ + ∠ XYZ

= 58o + 64o = 122o.
Reflex ∠ QYP = 360 - ∠ QYP
∘

= 360o - 58o
= 302o.
Therefore, we can conclude that ∠ XYQ = 122o and Reflex ∠ QYP = 302o
OR
Let us produce a ray OQ backwards to a point M, then MOQ is a straight line.
Now, OP is a ray on the line MOQ. Then, by linear pair axiom, we have
∠ MOP + ∠ POQ = 180o ......(i)

Similarly, OS is a ray on the line MOQ. Then, by linear pair axiom, we have
∠MOS + ∠ SOQ = 180o ....(ii)
Also, ∠ SOR and ∠ ROQ are adjacent angles.
∴ ∠ SOQ = ∠ SOR + ∠ ROQ ...(iii)

On putting the value of ∠ SOQ from Eq.(iii) in Eq.(ii), we get

∠MOS + ∠ SOR + ∠ ROQ = 180o ....(iv)
Now, on adding Eqs.(i) and (iv), we get
∠ MOP + ∠ POQ + ∠ MOS + ∠ SOR + ∠ ROQ = 180o + 180o
⇒ ∠ MOP + ∠ MOS + ∠ POQ + ∠ SOR + ∠ ROQ = 360o ....(iv)
But ∠ MOP + ∠ MOS = ∠ POS
Then, from Eq.(v), we get
∠POS + ∠ POQ + ∠ SOR + ∠ ROQ = 360o
Hence proved.
35. The given table is in inclusive form. So, we will first convert it into an exclusive from as given below:
Length (in mm) Number of leaves

126.5 – 135.5 10

135.5 – 144.5 12

OR
Volume of 10 balls of 7 mm = 14373.3 mm3
Volume of 1 ball of 3.5 mm = 179.66 mm3
Volume of 20 balls of 3.5 mm = 179.66 × 20= 3593.33 mm3
Total steel required to be melted = 14373.3 + 3593.33 = 17966 mm3(Approx)
Thus steel left over = 20,000 - 17966 = 2034 mm3

Solving (1) and (2) × 2
2x + y - 2x - 4y = 600 - 1200
⇒ - 3y = - 600
⇒ y = 200

Put y = 200 in (1)

2x + 200 = 600
⇒ x = = 200

Hence speed of Taxi = 50 km/hr

38. i. We know that line joining mid points of two sides of triangle is half and parallel to third side.
Hence RQ is parallel to BC and half of BC.

Length of garland = PQ + QR + RP = 12.5 + 14 + 13 = 39.5 cm
Length of garland = 39.5 cm.
iii. As R and P are mid-points of sides AB and BC of the triangle ABC, by mid point theorem, RP || AC Similarly, RQ || BC and
PQ || AB. Therefore ARPQ, BRQP and RQCP are all parallelograms. Now RQ is a diagonal of the parallelogram ARPQ,
therefore, △ARQ ≅ △PQR Similarly △CPQ ≅ △RQP and △BPR ≅ △QRP So, all the four triangles are congruent.
Therefore Area of △ARQ = Area of △CPQ = Area of △BPR = Area of △PQR
Area △ABC = Area of △ARQ + Area of △CPQ + Area of △BPR + Area of △PQR
Area of △ ABC = 4 Area of △PQR
△PQR = ar(ABC) 1

OR
As R and Q are mid-points of sides AB and AC of the triangle ABC. Similarly, P and Q are mid points of sides BC and AC by
mid-point theorem, RQ || BC and PQ || AB. Therefore BRQP is parallelogram.
