25. (A)

Sol. Assuming 5 – 2√3 to be a rational number.

𝑎
Let 5 – 2√3 = 𝑏 where a and b are integers & b≠0 ½
5𝑏−𝑎
⟹ √3 = ½
2𝑏

Here RHS is rational but LHS is irrational.

Therefore our assumption is wrong. ½
Hence, 5 – 2√3 is an irrational number. ½
OR
25. (B)

Sol. 5  11  17 + 3  11 = 11  (5  17 + 3) 1

= 11 88 or 11  11  23 ½

It means the number can be expressed as a product of two factors other than ½
1, therefore the given number is a composite number.

Sol. Let present age of Rashmi and Nazma be x years and y years respectively.
Therefore, x – 3 = 3 (y – 3) 1
or x – 3y + 6 = 0
and x + 10 = 2 (y + 10) 1
or x – 2y – 10 = 0
Solving equations to get x = 42, y = 16 1
∴ Present age of Rashmi is 42 years and that of Nazma is 16 years.

Sol.

Join OR. ½
∆AOQ ≅ ∆ROQ ⟹ ∠AOQ = ∠ROQ ----- (i) 1
∆BOP ≅ ∆ROP ⟹ ∠BOP = ∠ROP ----- (ii) ½

Sol. Let outer radius be r2 cm and inner radius be r1 cm.

∴ r2 – r1 = 1 ---- (i) ½
Volume of metal used = 176 cm3
22
⟹ × 14 × (r22 – r12) = 176 1
