(AB − C D)

Explanation: Construction: Join CF and extent it to cut AB at point M

Firstly, in triangle MFB and triangle DFC
DF = FB (As F is the mid-point of DB)
∠ DFC = ∠ MFB (Vertically opposite angle)

∠ DFC = ∠ FBM (Alternate interior angle)

∴ By ASA congruence rule

△ MFB ≅ △DFC
Now, in triangle CAM
E and F are the mid-points of AC and CM respectively
∴ EF = (AM)1

EF = 1

(d) AB = BE

Explanation:

In the figure, △BCD is a parallelogram, where AB is produced to E such that OC = OB

In △OBE and △OCD,
∠ 1 = ∠ 2 (Vertically opposite angles)

∠ 3 = ∠ 4 (Alternate interior angles)

OB = OC (given)
∴ △OBE ≅ △OCD (By ASA congruency)

⇒ BE = CD (By CPCT)
Also, AB = CD (y ABCD is parallelogram)
∴ AB = BE

12. (a) Infinitely many

Explanation: There are many linear equations in ‘x’ and ‘y’ can be satisfied by x = 1, y = 2
for example
x+y=3 x - y =-1
2x + y =4
and so on there are infinte number of examples
13.
(d) 60°
Explanation: Produce OP to intersect RQ at point N.
Now, OP || RS and transversal RN intersects them at N and R respectively.
∴ ∠RN P = ∠SRN (Alternate interior angles)

⇒ ∠ RNP = 130o
∴ ∠P N Q = 180
∘
− 130
∘ ∘
= 50 (Linear pair)
∠OP Q = ∠P N Q + ∠P QN (Exterior angle property)
⇒ 110o = 50o + ∠P QN
⇒ ∠P QN = 110o - 50o = 60o = ∠P QR

(3√3) −(2√2)

7(3√3+2√2)
= 27−8

7(3√3+2√2)
= 19

15. (a) 80°

Explanation: We have:
∠ AEB + ∠ CEB = 180° (Linear pair angles)

⇒ 110° + ∠ CEB = 180°

⇒ ∠ CEB = (180° - 110°) = 70°

⇒ ∠ CEB = 70°

In △CEB, we have:
∠ CEB + ∠ EBC + ∠ ECB = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)

⇒ 70° + 30° + ∠ ECB = 180°

⇒ ∠ ECB = (180° - 100°) = 80°

The angles in the same segment are equal.

Thus, ∠ ADB = ∠ ECB = 80°
⇒ ∠ ADB = 80°
16.
(c) Abscissa
Explanation: Any point p in cartesian plane is written as p(x, y).
x coordinate of point p is called abscissa and Y co-ordinate of point p is called ordinate.

3( a − b )( b − c )(c − a )

= 3(a−b)(b−c)(c−a)

Also, DX || BY (As AD || BC)

So, XBYD is a parallelogram (A pair of opposite sides equal and parallel)
i.e., PX || QD
Therefore, AP = PQ (From △AQD where X is mid-point of AD) ...(1)
Similarly, from △CPB, CQ = PQ ...(2)
Thus, AP = PQ = CQ [From (1) and (2)]
29. i. On x-axis y = 0
⇒ x + 2 × 0 = 8 ⇒ x = 8

Therefore, the required point is (8, 0).

ii. On y-axis x = 0
⇒ 0 + 2y = 8
8
⇒ y = ⇒ y = 4
2

Thus, the required point is (0, 4).

30. In Figure, a histogram and a frequency table of the above frequency distribution are drawn on the same scale.

To construct a frequency polygon without using the histogram of a given frequency distribution, we use the following algorithm.
STEP-I: Obtain the frequency distribution.
STEP-II: Compute the mid-points of class intervals i.e. class marks.
STEP-III: Represent class marks on X-axis on a suitable scale.
STEP-IV: Represent frequencies on Y-axis on a suitable scale.

STEP-V: Plot the points, where x denotes class mark and f corresponding frequency.
STEP-VI: Join the points plotted in step V by line segments.
STEP-VII: Take two class intervals of zero frequency, one at the beginning and the other at the end. Obtain their mid-points.
These classes are known as imagined classes.
STEP-VIII: Complete the frequency polygon by joining the mid-points of first and last class intervals to the mid-points of the
imagined classes adjacent to them.

i. It gives the information about the areas (in lakh hectors) under sugarcane crop during different years in India.
ii. The areas under the sugarcane crops were the maximum and minimum in 1982-83 and 1950-51 respectively.
iii. The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1982-83= 34 lakh hectares.
The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1950-51= 17 lakh hectares.
Clearly, the area under sugarcane crop in the year 1982-83 is not 3 times that of the year 1950-51
So, the given statement is false.
31. Suppose, p(x) = px + 5x + r 2

As (x − 2) is a factor of p(x)
∴ p(2) = 0

From equation (1), we have 4p + r = −10
From equation (2), we have p + 10 + 4r = 0

∴ 4p + r = p + 4r [∵ Each = - 10]
∴ 3p = 3r ⇒ p = r

Hence, proved.

Then, ∠EOB + ∠EOD = x , ∘

Now, AB ∥ EO and BO is the transversal

∴ ∠ABO + ∠BOE = 180 [consecutive interior angles] ∘

∘ ∘
⇒ 40 + ∠BOE = 180

∘ ∘ ∘

Again CD ∥ EO and OD is the transversal.

∴ ∠EOD + ∠ODC = 180
∘ ∘
⇒ ∠EOD + 35 = 180

∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ ∠EOD = (180 − 35 ) = 145

Area of tarpaulin = Curved surface area of tent = πrl = 3.14 × 6 × 10 = 188.4 m 2

Width of tarpaulin = 3 m
Let Length of tarpaulin = L
∴ Area of tarpaulin = Length × Breadth = L × 3 = 3L

Now According to question, 3L = 188.4

⇒ L = 188.4/3 = 62.8 m

The extra length of the material required for stitching margins and cutting is 20 cm = 0.2 m.
So the total length of tarpaulin bought is (62.8 + 0.2) m = 63 m

Let height of a triangle be h cm.
Then, area of triangle = × Base × Height 1

× 60 × h [Since the longest side of a triangle is 60 cm, so we consider it as base of the triangle]

Hence, the height corresponding to the longest side is 28.8 cm.

35. Let, f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10
The constant term in f(x) is 10
The factors of 10 are ± 1, ± 2, ± 5, ± 10
Let, x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = -1

Substitute the value of x in f(x)

f(-1) = (−1)3- 6(−1)2 + 3(−1) + 10
= -1 – 6 – 3 + 10
=0
Similarly, (x – 2) and (x – 5) are other factors of f(x)
Since, f(x) is a polynomial having a degree 3, it cannot have more than three linear factors.
∴ f(x) = k(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)

Substitute x = 0 on both sides

⇒ x3– 6x2 + 3x + 10 = k(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
⇒ 0 – 0 + 0 + 10 = k(1)(-2)(-5)

⇒ 10 = k(10)

⇒ k = 1

Substitute k = 1 in f(x) = k(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)

f(x) = (1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5 )
so, x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10 = (x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
This is the required factorisation of f(x)
Section E
36. i. x - y = 10
2x + 3y = 120
ii. 2x + 3y = 120
iii. x - y = 10 ...(1)
2x + 3y = 120 ...(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and to equation (2)
3x - 3y + 2x + 3y = 30 + 120
⇒ 5x = 150

⇒ x = 30

Hence the number thought by Prateek is 30.

OR
We know that x - y = 10 ...(i) and 2x + 3y = 120 ...(ii)
Put x = 30 in equation (i)
30 - y = 10
⇒ y = 40

Hence number thought by Kevin = 40.

Let ∠ Q = ∠ R = x and ∠ P = 80o
In △PQR, ∠ P + ∠ Q + ∠ R = 180o (Angle sum property of △)

iii. In right ΔAOB

AO2 = OP2 + AP2
