SECTION B
Section B consists of 5 questions of 2 marks each.
21
Q lies between P and R
Thus PR=PO+OR
Now, we are given PO=OR
Put OR=PO
⇒PR=PO+PO ----------- 1 Mark
⇒PR=2PO
⇒1/2 PR=PO
⇒PO=1/2PR ----------- 1 Mark
 Hence proved.

(OR)
Given, AC = XD
C is the midpoint of AB
D is the midpoint of XY
We have to show that AB = XY using Euclid's
axiom.
According to Euclid’s axiom,
Things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.
Since C is the midpoint of AB
AB = 2AC
AC = AB/2 ----------- 1/2 Mark
Since D is the midpoint of XY
XY = 2XD
XD = XY/2 ----------- 1/2 Mark
We know, AC = XD
So, AB/2 = XY/2
Therefore, AB = XY ----------- 1 Mark
22 i) Coordinate of M = (-6,0) ----------1 mark
ii) Coordinate of N = (0,2) ----------1 mark

3p + 2 = 11 ----------1 mark

P = 9/3 = 3 ----------1 mark

(OR)
Let x = 0.00323232…
Then 100x = 0.323232 ……(1) ----------1/2 mark
and 10000x = 32.323232 …(2) ----------1/2 mark
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get

⇒ x = 32/9900
9900x = 32 ----------1/2 mark

⇒ x = 8 / 2475 ----------1/2 mark

25
Given, x + y = 10 --------- (1)
Also, x = z ------------------ (2)
 We have to show that z + y = 10
Using Euclid’s second axiom,
If equals are added to the equals, the wholes are equal. ----------- 1/2 Mark
From (2),
x+y=z+y ----------- 1/2 Mark
From (1),
x + y = 10
Therefore, z + y = 10 ----------- 1 Mark

SECTION C
Section C consists of 6 questions of 3 marks each.
26 i) The required Vertices are (0,0), (-5,0), (-5,-3) and (0,-3) ----------2 marks
ii) √ 34 units ----------1 mark

27 Each ½ mark.
a) B
b) 2
c) 2
d) (-1,0)
e) F
f) (-2,-1)
(OR)
Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²
Hypotenus² = 8² + 15² ----------- 1 Mark
Hypotenus² = 64 + 225
Hypotenus² = 289 ----------- 1 Mark
Hypotenuse = √ 289
Hypotenuse = 17 ----------- 1 Mark
Hypotenuse = distance between the two points = 17 units

AB=CF ........... (1)
EF=BD ........... (2)
∠AFE=∠DBC
Then AF=AB+BF
And BC=BF+CF
As per (1) and (2) we get
BC=BF+AB=AF ----------- 1 Mark
Thus in ΔAFE and ΔBDC
BC=AF
EF=BD
∠AFE=∠DBC
ΔAFE=ΔCBD .......... [By SAS rule of congruence] ----------- 2 Marks

(OR)

=> ∠B = ∠C
ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠A = 70°
=> ∠B + ∠C = 110°
=> ∠B = ∠C = 110/2 = 55° ----------- 2 Marks

=>∠ LMC + ∠C = 180°

LM ║ BC

=> ∠LMC + 55° = 180°

=> ∠LMC = 125° ----------- 1 Mark
 SECTION D
Section D consists of 4 questions of 5 marks each
32 i) Drawing Graph --------3 marks
ii) Shading the correct triangle --------1 mark
iii) Area of Triangle = ½ x 8 x 8 = 32 sq. units -----------1 mark
33 i) Theorem Proof -------------3 marks
ii) 2 Marks

(OR)
Given, AP and BQ are parallel.

∠PAB = ∠ABQ
As AP || BQ and t is transversal

2 ∠PAB = 2 ∠ABQ
Let us multiply 2 on both sides

As the alternate interior angles are equal, the lines are parallel
Therefore, the lines l and m are parallel.
34 a = 7+ 4 √ 3 ----------1 mark
b = 7−4 √ 3 ----------1 mark
a+b = 14
a – b = 8 √3
ab = 1 ----------1 mark

(OR)
x = y/2
4x + 2(2x) = 2400
 8x = 2400
x = 300

∠CBF = 45°
Cost of a shirt = Rs. 300

∠CFB = 105°
37 i) ----------1 Mark

iii) ∠ SPR = ∠ Q + ∠ R
ii) ----------1 Mark
----------1/2 Mark

2 ∠ TPR = ∠ R + ∠ R (PT bisects ∠ RPS)

Since exterior angle of triangle is equal to the sum of opposite interior angles

2 ∠ TPR = 2 ∠ R

∠ TPR = ∠ R
As alternate angles are equal, PT ∥ QR. Hence Proved . ----------1/2 Mark

iii) (2 Marks)
Given, the bisector of an angle of a triangle also bisects the
opposite side.
We have to prove that the triangle is isosceles.
Consider a triangle ABC with a point D on BC

∠BAD = ∠CAD.
such that BD = DC

Extend AD to meet E such that AD = DE and join CE.

Considering triangles ABD and ECD,
Given, BD = CD
Given, AD = DE

∠ADB = ∠EDC
We know that the vertically opposite angles are equal.

By SAS criterion, the triangles ABD and ECD are congruent.

In triangles ABD and ECD,

∠BAD = ∠CED
AB = EC ------------- (1)

Given, ∠BAD = ∠CAD

So, ∠CED = ∠CAD
We know that the sides opposite to the equal angles are equal.
So, AC = EC ---------- (2)
From (1) and (2),
AB = AC
Therefore, the triangle ABC is isosceles.
(OR)

∴ BM = 1/2 BC
In ΔABC, AM is the median to BC.

∴ QN = 1/2 QR
In ΔPQR, PN is the median to QR.

∴ 1/2 BC = 1/2 QR
It is given that BC = QR

∴ BM = QN … (1)
In ΔABM and ΔPQN,
AB = PQ (Given)
BM = QN [From equation (1)]

∴ ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN (Using SSS congruence criterion)

AM = PN (Given)
