Sub: Maths ANSWER KEY

.
SECTION - A
1. (a) . Solution:
√3x2 – 2x – 8√3 = 0
⇒ √3x2 – 6x + 4x – 8√3 = 0
⇒ √3x(x – 2/3) + 4 (x – 2/3) = 0
⇒ (x – 2√3)(√3x + 4) = 0
⇒ Either (x – 2√3) = 0 or (√3x + 4) = 0
⇒ x = −4/3, 2√3.
(OR)
(b)

2. Solution:
(i) For x2 + kx + 64 = 0 to have real roots
⇒ k2 – 4(1)(64) ≥ 0 i.e., k2 – 256 ≥ 0
⇒ k ≥ ± 16
(ii) For x2 – 8x + k = 0 to have real roots
⇒ (-8)2 – 4(k) ≥ 0 i.e., 64 – 4k ≥ 0
⇒ k ≤ ± 16
For (i) and (ii) to hold simultaneously k = 16.

3. Solution:
4. Solution:
Given: sn = 3n2 +6n
sn-1 = 3(n – 1)2 + 6(n – 1)
⇒ 3(n2 + 1 – 2n) + 6n – 6
⇒ 3n2 + 3 – 6n + 6n – 6 = 3n2 – 3
The nth term will be an
sn = sn-1 + an
an = sn – sn-1
⇒ 3n2 + 6n – 3n2 + 3
⇒ 6n + 3

5. Solution:
Let AD = AF = x
∴ DB = BE = 12 – x
and CF = CE = 10 – x
BC = BE + EC
⇒ 8 = 12 – x + 10 – x
⇒x=7
∴ AD = 7 cm, BE = 12 – 7 = 5 cm, CF = 10 – 7 = 3 cm.

6. Solution:

Let LM be tangent drawn at the point P on the circle with centre O. Join OP. If possible, let
PQ be perpendicular to LM, not passing through O.
Now, since tangent at a point to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point.
∴ OP ⊥ LM ⇒ ∠OPM = 90°
Also, ∠QPM = 90° (as assumed above)
∴ ∠OPM = ∠QPM,
which is possible only when points O and Q coincide
Hence, the perpendicular at the point of contact to tangent to a circle passes through the
centre.

SECTION - B

7. Solution:
Given: AP and AQ are two tangents from a point A to a circle C (O, r).
To Prove: AP = AQ
Construction: Join OP, OQ and OA.
Proof: In order to prove that AP = AQ, we shall first prove that ∆OPA ≅ ∆OQA.
Since a tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of
contact.
∴ OP ⊥ AP and OQ ⊥ AQ
⇒ ∠OPA = ∠OQA = 90°
Now, in right triangles OPA and OQA, we have
OP = OQ [Radii of a circle]
∠OPA = ∠OQA [Each 90°]
and OA = OA [Common]
So, by RHS-criterion of congruence, we get
∆OPA ≅ OQA
⇒ AP = AQ [CPCT]
Hence, lengths of two tangents from an external point are equal.

8. (a) Solution:

(OR)
(b) Solution:
Let the two consecutive odd numbers be x and x + 2.

Hence, the numbers are 13 and 15 or -15 and -13.


9. Solution:

10. Solution:

Hence, PA : PB = 3 : 4
SECTION – C

11. Solution:

Let ∆ABC be drawn to circumscribe a circle with centre O and radius 4 cm and circle touches
the sides BC, CA and AB at D, E and 6 cm F respectively.
We have given that CD = 6 cm and BD = 8 cm
∴ BF = BD = 8 cm and CE = CD = 6 cm
{Length of two tangents drawn from an external point of circle are equal}
Now, let AF = AE = x cm
Then, AB = c = (x + 8) cm, BC = a = 14 cm, CA = b = (x + 6) cm
2s = (x + 8) + 14 + (x + 6) 25 = 2x + 28 or s = x + 14
s – a = (x + 14) – 14 = x
s – b = (x + 14) – (x + 6) = 8s – c = (x + 14) – (x + 8) = 6

Squaring both sides, we have


48x (x + 14) = 16(x + 14)2 = 48x (x + 14) – 16 (x + 14)2 = 0
16 (x + 14) (3x – (x + 14)] = 0
⇒ 16(x + 14)(2x – 14) = 0
either 16(x + 14) = 0 or 2x – 14 = 0
⇒ x = -14 or 2x = 14
⇒ x = -14 or x = 7
But x cannot be negative so x ≠ – 14 .
∴ x = 7 cm
Hence, the sides AB = x + 8 = 7 + 8 = 15 cm
AC = x + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13 cm.

12. (a) Solution:

Steps of Construction:
Draw BC = 8 cm.
From B draw an angle of 90°.
Draw an arc BA = 6 cm cutting the angle at A.
Join AC. ∴ ∆ABC is the required ∆.
Draw ⊥ bisector of BC cutting BC at M.
Take M as centre and BM as radius, draw a circle.
Take A as centre and AB as radius draw an arc cutting the circle at E. Join AE.
AB and AE are the required tangents.
.
(OR)

(b) Solution:

Draw two circles on A and B as asked.


Z is the mid-point of AB.
From Z, draw a circle taking ZA = ZB as radius,
so that the circle intersects the bigger circle at M and N and smaller circle at X and Y.
Join AX and AY, BM and BN.
BM, BN are the required tangents from external point B.
AX, AY are the required tangents from external point A.
Justification:
∠AMB = 90° …[Angle in a semi-circle
Since, AM is a radius of the given circle.
∴BM is a tangent to the circle
Similarly, BN, AX and AY are also tangents.

13. (1). (2) 24


(2). (1) 16
(3). (3) Rs.20
(4). (1) Rs. 30

14. (1) Solution:


d = -2-(-5) = -2+5 =3
d= 184-187= - 3
Sum of the common difference = 3-3 = 0.

(2) Solution:
The A.P.is, -5, -2, 1,4,……..
a= -5, d = -2+5 = 3
Sn = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]
= 10/2[2(-5) + (10-1) 3]
= 5 x 17 = 85.
