⇒ ​S22 = 11(16 - 105) = -979

2) A kite is flying at a height of 30 m from the ground. The length of the string from kite to the ground is 60 m.
Assuming that there is no slack in the string, find the angle of elevation of the kite at the ground.

Let kite is at point K

4) The sum of n terms of an AP is 3n2 + 5n. Find the AP. Hence, find its 16th term.

Answer : Given; Sn = 3n2 + 5n

S1 = 3 x 1 2 5 x 1 = 8
⇒ a1 = 8 ...(i)
S2 = 3 x 22 + 5 x 2 = 22
⇒ a1 + a2 = 22
⇒ 8 + a2 = 22 [Using (i)]
⇒ a2 = 14
d = a2 - a1 = 14 - 8 = 6
∴ AP is 8, 14, 20, 26, ...
Now a16 = a +15d
= 8 + 15 x 6 = 98

9) A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of a solid cylinder, as shown in Fig. If
the height of the cylinder is 10 cm, and its base is of radius 3.5 cm, find the total surface area of the article.
 Answer : Given, wooden article is a combination of a cylinder and two hemispheres.

Here, height of the cylinder, h = 10 cm

Clearly, Radius of base of the cylinder = Radius of hemisphere say, r = 3.5 cm
Now, required TSA of the wooden article = 2 × CSA of one hemisphere + CSA of cylinder

11) Determine the general term of an AP whose 7th term is -1 and 16th term is 17.

Answer : Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the AP, whose 7th term is -1 and 16th
term is 17.
Thus, a7 = −1 and a1 6 = 17

⇒ a + (7 - 1) d = -1 [∵ an = a + (n − 1)d]

⇒ a + 6d =- 1 ...(i)
and a + ( 16 - 1 )d = 17
⇒ a + 15d = 17 ...(ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii),
we get a = -1 3 and d = 2
Hence, general term an = a + ( n - d )
= - 13 + (n - 1) 2
= 2n - 15
and AP is a ,a + d, a + 2d ,a + 3d,...
-13,-13 + 2,- 13 + 2(2),- 13 + 3(2),...
i.e. -13,-11,-9,-7,....

bottom of the same building, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is found to be 45o . Determine the
height of the tower and the distance between the tower and the building.
 Answer : Given: A building AB 15 m high and tower CD

13) Find the sum of the integers between 100 and 200 that is not divisible by 9.

Answer : Numbers between 100 and 200 are 101, 102, .... 199
a = 101, d = 1, an = 199
∴ an = a + ( n - 1 )d
⇒ 199 = 101 + ( n - 1 )1
⇒ 199 = 101 + n - 1 ⇒ 99 = n
n
and Sn = [a + an ]

Sn = [101 + 199] = × 300 = 14850

∴ Sum of numbers not divisible by 9 = 14850 - 1623 = 13167.

15) A round table cover has six equal designs as shown in the figure. If the radius of the cover is 28 cm, find the

2
cost of making the designs at the rate of Rs. 0.35 per cm . (U se √3 = 1.7)

Answer :

It can be observed that these designs are segments of the circle.

Consider segment APB. Chord AB is a side of the hexagon. Each chord will substitute 360º/6 = 60º at the
centre of the circle.
In ΔOAB,
∠OAB = ∠OBA (As OA = OB)
∠AOB = 60°
∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180°
2∠OAB = 180° − 60° = 120°
∠OAB = 60°
Therefore, ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.

= (2464 − 1999.2)cm

= 464.8 cm2
Cost of making 1 cm2 designs = Rs 0.35
Cost of making 464.76 cm2 designs = 464.8 x 0.35 = Rs 162.68
Therefore, the cost of making such designs is Rs 162.68.

16) A solid toy is in the form of a hemisphere surmounted by a right circular cone. The height of the cone is 3 cm
and the diameter of the base is 4 cm. Determine the volume of the solid toy. If a right circular cylinder
circumscribes the toy, then find the difference of the volumes of the cylinder and the toy [take, π = 3.14]
Answer : Here, given solid toy is a combination of a right circular cone and a hemisphere.
Let BPC be the hemisphere and ABC be the cone standing on the base of the hemisphere as shown 'in the
figure.
For conical portion,
Height, h = 3 cm
Diameter, d = 4 cm
4
∴ Radius, r = cm = 2 cm
2

For hemispherical portion,

Radius, r = 2 cm [∵ radii of hemisphere and cone are same)
So, volume of the solid toy = Volume of hemisphere + Volume of cone
2 3 1 2
= πr + πr h

3
= 16.75 + 12.56 = 29.31 cm
Hence, volume of the solid toy is 29.31 cm3.
Now, let the right circular cylinder EFGH circumscribe the given solid toy. Then, radius of the base of the
right circular cylinder = HP = BO = 2 cm and its height, EH = AP = AO + OP = 3 + 2 = 5 cm
So, volume of the cylinder = πr h = 3.14 x 22 x 5 = 62.8 cm3
2

Now, required difference of the volume of the cylinder and the solid toy = Volume of cylinder - Volume of
solid toy
= 62.8 - 29.31 = 33.49 cm3
