26. After 𝟏𝟎 years 𝑿 will be twice as old as 𝒀. 𝟏𝟎 years ago, the age

of 𝑿 was six times that of 𝒀. Then find their present age ?

Ans : Let the present age of 𝑋 and 𝑌 are 𝑥 and 𝑦 respectively.

After 𝟏𝟎 years :

𝑥 + 10 = 2(𝑦 + 10)

⇒ 𝑥 + 10 = 2𝑦 + 20

⇒ 𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 20 − 10

⇒ 𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 10 … … … … … (1)

𝟏𝟎 years ago :

𝑥 − 10 = 6(𝑦 − 10)

⇒ 𝑥 − 10 = 6𝑦 − 60

⇒ 𝑥 − 6𝑦 = −60 + 10

⇒ 𝑥 − 6𝑦 = −50 … … … … … (2)

From (1) and (2)

𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 10

𝑥 − 6𝑦 = −50
______________
4𝑦 = 60
60
𝑦= = 15
4

∴ 𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 10

𝑥 − 2(15) = 10

𝑥 − 30 = 10

𝑥 = 10 + 30 = 40

Hence, the present ages of 𝑿and 𝒀 is 𝟒𝟎 years and 𝟏𝟓 years

respectively.

Ans : Let us assume that √3 is rational number.

𝑎
⇒ √3 = 𝑏 [𝑎, 𝑏 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑜−𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 ≠ 0]

On squaring both the sides we get ,

𝑎2
⇒ 3 = 𝑏2

⇒ 𝟑𝒃𝟐 = 𝒂𝟐 ………(1)

So 3 divides 𝑎 2 , 3 divides 𝑎 also

⇒ 𝑎 = 3𝑐 ,𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑐

⇒ 𝑎 2 = 9𝑐 2

⇒ 3𝑏 2 = 9𝑐 2 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 (1)

⇒ 𝒃𝟐 = 𝟑𝒄𝟐

So 3 divides 𝑏 2 , 3 divides 𝑏 also

Thus ,𝑎, 𝑏 have a common factor 3.

This contradicts our assumption that they are co-primes.

⇒√3 is not a rational number.

Hence , √𝟑 is an irrational number.

sum of pair of opposite angles is 𝟏𝟑𝟎°. Then find the angles of

the quadrilateral.

Ans :

𝑎 + 𝑎 + 𝑑 + 𝑎 + 2𝑑 + 𝑎 + 3𝑑 = 360°

⇒ 4𝑎 + 6𝑑 = 360°

⇒ 2(2𝑎 + 3𝑑) = 360°

⇒ 𝑎 + 𝑎 + 2𝑑 = 130°

⇒ 2𝑎 + 2𝑑 = 130° … … … … … (2)

(1) − (2), 𝑑 = 50°

⇒ 2𝑎 + 2(50°) = 130°

36. Prove that “If in two triangles, corresponding angles are equal,

then their corresponding sides are in the same ratio

Ans :

Data : In ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 and ∆𝐷𝐸𝐹

∠𝐴 = ∠𝐷
∠𝐵 = ∠𝐸
∠𝐶 = ∠𝐹
𝐴𝐵 𝐵𝐶 𝐴𝐶
To Prove : 𝐷𝐸 = 𝐸𝐹 = 𝐷𝐹

Construction : Cut 𝐷𝑃 = 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐷𝑄 = 𝐴𝐶 and join 𝑃𝑄

Proof : In ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 and ∆𝐷𝑃𝑄
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝑃 [∵ Consruction ]
∠𝐴 = ∠𝐷 [∵ Data ]
𝐴𝐶 = 𝐷𝑄 [∵ Consruction ]
∴ ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑫𝑷𝑸 [∵ S.A.S postulate ]
∴ 𝑩𝑪 = 𝑷𝑸
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐷𝑃𝑄 [∵ CPCT ]
But , ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹 [∵ Data ]
∴ ∠𝐷𝑃𝑄 = ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹
∴ 𝑷𝑸 ∥ 𝑬𝑭 [ ∴ ∠𝐷𝑃𝑄 and ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹 Corresponding angles ]
𝐷𝑃 𝑃𝑄 𝐷𝑄
= = 𝐷𝐹
𝐷𝐸 𝐸𝐹
𝐴𝐵 𝐵𝐶 𝐴𝐶
∴ = 𝐸𝐹 = 𝐷𝐹 [∵ Construction and C.B.P.T ]

∴ ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ~∆𝑫𝑬𝑭
37. From the top of a 45 m high light house, the angles of

depression of two ships, on the opposite side of it, are observed

to be 30° and 60°. If the line joining the ships passes through

the foot of the light house, find the distance between the ships.

Ans :

45
tan 60° = 𝑥

45
⇒ √3 =
𝑥

⇒ √3𝑥 = 45

45 √3 45√3
⇒𝑥= × = = 𝟏𝟓√𝟑
√ 3 √3 3

45
tan 30° = 𝑦

1 45
⇒ =
√ 3 𝑦

⇒ 𝑦 = 𝟒𝟓√𝟑

∴ The distance between the ships = 𝟏𝟓√𝟑 + 𝟒𝟓√𝟑 = 𝟔𝟎√𝟑 𝒎

38. Rasheed got a playing top as his birthday present, which
surprisingly had no colour on it. He wanted to colour it with
his crayons. The top is shaped like a cone surmounted by a
hemisphere. The entire top is 𝟏𝟒 𝒄𝒎 in height and the
diameter of the top is 𝟏𝟐 𝒄𝒎. Find the area he has to colour
and also find the volume of the top.
Ans :

Ans : Slant height : 𝑙 = √ℎ2 + 𝑟 2

= √82 + 62
= √64 + 36
= √100
= 𝟏𝟎 𝒄𝒎
Surface area of the top = CSA of a hemisphere + CSA of a cone
= 2𝜋𝑟 2 + 𝜋𝑟𝑙
= 𝜋𝑟 (2𝑟 + 𝑙)
