Given:x -y ...i) of the circle, then angle between them is 90°.
2. (a) xty=4 ...(i) Thus 0A is hypotenuse for the right triangle OAB,
which is right angled at B.
Adding eqn. ()and (ii), we get2=6x=3
Put the value of x in equation (i), we get
For any right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side.
The length of the tangent from an external point is
3-y=2’y=1 always less than the OA. (IM)
Hence, x =3,y =1 (IM) 6. (a) Given, sin A+ sin A=1
Given: a=10, n = 30 sin A = 1 - sin' A = cos² A [:: sin0 + cos9 = 1]
3.(c) d=7-10= -3
On squaring both sides, we get
We know a, =a+ (n- 1) d sin A= cos A’1 - cos A=cos A
.:. a,= 10+ (30- 1)( 3) =77

Afm=n) and common difference (d) 5.
Let nh term of an A.P.be = 124
a, =124 ’at (n- l)d= 124
’ 4+(n- 1)x 5 = 124 ’ n= 25
Therefore, 124 is the 2sh term of the given sequence.

We know, Discriminant D = b- 4ac
a= 12, d= 4, a,= 248
we know, a, =a + (n 1)d =f-4(2) (3) =k-24
