Let the first term of the AP be a , and the common difference be d . It is given that the \(2^{\text {nd }}\) term is 13 ie and also that the \(5^{\text {th }}\) term is 25 , i.e.
\(t_5=a+4 d\)
Solving for d, we get \((a+4 d)-(a+d)=25-13=12\)
Thus, \(3 \mathrm{~d}=12\)
Or, d = 4.
Hence, a=13-4=9. To find the 7th term, we need to find the value of a+6 d i.e. 9+6(4)=33.
Thus the 7th term of the given arithmetic progression is 33

\(sin\ \alpha =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } and\ cos\ \beta =\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
\( \\ \Rightarrow d sin\ \alpha =sin\ 30°\left[ \because \ sin\ 30°=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right] \ \)
\(\ and\ cos\ \beta \ =\ cos\ 60°\ \left[ \because \ cos\ 60°=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\\ \Rightarrow \ \alpha \ =\ 30°\ and\ \ beta \ = \ 60°\)
\(\\ \therefore \ \alpha \ +\ \beta \ =\ 30°+60°=90°\)

Let AB is tower and C is a point on the ground such that BC = 100 m
In right \(\Delta\)ABC,
\(\frac { AB }{ BC } =\tan { { 45 }^{ o } } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac { AB }{ 100 } =1\)
\(\Rightarrow\) AB = 100 m
6.

Let AB is tower and BC is its shadow
∴ AB = 20 m and BC = 20\(\sqrt { 3 } \)
In right ΔABC, \(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) = tanፀ
⇒ tanፀ = \(\frac { 20 }{ 20\sqrt { 3 } } \)
⇒ tanፀ = \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)
⇒ ፀ = 30o

Here, a = 11 and d = 8 - 11 = -3
Assume that, -150 be the nth term of the given AP.
We know that the nth term of an AP is
an = a + (n - 1)d
\(\Rightarrow\) -150 = 11 + (n - 1) (-3)
\(\Rightarrow n-1=\frac{161}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow n=\frac{161}{3}+1=\frac{164}{3}\)
But n should be a positive integer.
So, - 150 is not a term of the given AP.

Given, \(\sec { \theta } =\frac { 13 }{ 12 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{P R}{P Q}=\frac{13}{12} \quad\left[\because \sec \theta=\frac{H}{B}\right]\)
Let, PR = 13k and PQ = 12k
Where, k is any positive integer.

In right angled \(\triangle PQR,\)
PQ2 + RQ2 = PR2
[By using Pythagoras theorem]
\(\Rightarrow\) RQ2 + (12k)2 =( 13k)2
\(\Rightarrow\) RQ2 + 144k2 = 169k2
\(\Rightarrow\) RQ2 = 169k2 - 144k2 = 25k2
\(\Rightarrow\) PQ - 5k [using positive square for since, side cannot be negative]
\(\sin { \theta } =\frac { P }{ H } =\frac { 5k }{ 13k } =\frac { 5 }{ 13 } \)
\(\cos { \theta } =\frac { B }{ H } =\frac { 12k }{ 13k } =\frac { 12 }{ 13 } \)
\(\begin{aligned} & \tan \theta=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\frac{5 / 13}{12 / 13}=\frac{5}{13} \times \frac{13}{12}=\frac{5}{12} \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{1}{\sin \theta}=\frac{13}{5} \text { and } \cot \theta=\frac{1}{\tan \theta}=\frac{12}{5} \end{aligned}\)

Let AB=60 m is height of building and CD is lamp post
(i) In rt ΔABD, \(\frac { AB }{ BD } \)=tan600
⇒ \(\frac { 60 }{ BD } =\sqrt { 3 } \Rightarrow \frac { 60 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)=BD
⇒ BD=\(\frac { 60\times \sqrt { 3 } }{ 3 } =20\sqrt { 3 } \)m
⇒ BD=20 x 1.732=34.64 m
(ii) In rt. ΔAEC, \(\frac { AE }{ EC } \)=tan300
⇒ \(\frac { AE }{ 20\sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \) [∵ EC=BD]
⇒ AE=20 m
and EB=AB-AE=60-20=40 m
Also EB=CD
⇒ CD=40 m
∴ Height of lamp post =40 m.

Tp = a + ( p - 1 )d
\(\Rightarrow\) \({1\over q}=a+(p-1)d\) ...(i)
Tq = a + ( p - 1 )d
\(\Rightarrow\) \({1\over q}a+(q-1)d\) ...(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
\({p-q\over pq}=(p-q)d\Rightarrow d={1\over pq}\)
Putting d = \({1 \over pq}\) in (i), we have
\({1\over q}=a+{(p-q)\over pq}\Rightarrow a={1\over pq}\)
\(\therefore\) Spq = \({pq\over2}[2a+(pq-1)d]\)
or, Spq = \({pq\over2}\left[ {{2\over pq}+{(pq-1)\over pq}} \right]\)
\(={1\over 2}(pq+1)\)

\(\because\) S6 = 36 and S16 = 256.
\(\Rightarrow\) S6 = \({6\over2}\) [ 2a + 5d ]
[ \(\because\) Sn = \({n\over2} [ 2a + ( n - 1)d ]\)
\(\Rightarrow\) S6 = 3 ( 2a + 5d )
\(\Rightarrow\) \({36\over3}\) = 2a + 5d
\(\Rightarrow\) 12 = 2a + 5d ...(i)
and S16 = \({16\over2}[2a+15d]\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \({256\over8}=2a+15d\)
\(\Rightarrow\) 32 = 2a + 15d ...(ii)
Subtracting (i) and (ii), 2n + 5d = 12
2a + 15d = 32
- - -
-10d = -20 \(\Rightarrow\) d = 2
\(\therefore\) From (i), 12 = 2a + 5(2)
12 - 10 = 2a \(\Rightarrow\) 2a = 2 \(\Rightarrow\) a = 1
Hence S10 = \({10\over2}[2a+9d]\)
= 5 ( 2 x 1 + 9 x 2 )
= 5 ( 2 + 18 )
\(\Rightarrow\) S10 = 5 x 20 = 100.

Let BC = x m be the width of the canal and AB = h m be the height of the tower.
Given, \(\angle\)ACB = 60\(\unicode{xb0} \) and \(\angle\)ADB = 30\(\unicode{xb0} \)
In right angled \(\Delta\)ABD,
\(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{P}{B}=\frac{A B}{D B}\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{D C+C B}\)

\(\left[\because \tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text { and } D B=D C+C B\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{20+x} \Rightarrow 20+x=\sqrt{3} h\) ...(i)
and in right angled \(\Delta\)ABC,
\(\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{A B}{B C} \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\frac{h}{x} \quad\left[\because \tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad h=\sqrt{3} x\) ..(ii)
On putting h = \(\sqrt{3}\)x in Eq. (i), we get
20 + x = \(\sqrt{3}\) (\(\sqrt{3}\)x)
\(\Rightarrow\) 20 + x = 3x
\(\Rightarrow\) 2x = 20 \(\Rightarrow\) x = 10 m
On putting x = 10 m in Eq. (ii), we get h = \(\sqrt{3}\)(10)
\(\Rightarrow\) h = 10\(\sqrt{3}\) m
Hence, the height of the tower is 10\(\sqrt{3}\) m and width of the canal is 10 m.

Trigonometric ratio involving AB, BC, OD, OA and angles is tanθ. [Refer AB, BC, OA and OD from the figure.]
Distance travelled by the balloon OB = AB - OA
From the figure, OD = BC, and it can be calculated as

In ΔAOD,
tan 60° = OD/OA
√3 = 87/OA
OA = 87 / √3

since, sin (A - B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), therefore, A - B = 30° (1)
Also, since cos (A + B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), therefore, A + B = 60° (2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get : A = 45° and B = 15°.

Let AB is Ist pole and CD is IInd pole.

CD = 24 m and BD = 15 m
AE is horizontal line.
In rectangle
ABDE,
AE = BD = 15 m
Let CE = x m.
In right \(\Delta \) CEA,

Let AB is statue, BC is pedestal and BC=x m, CD=y m.
In right ΔBCD, ΔBCD, \(\frac { BC }{ CD } \)=tan 45o
⇒, \(\frac { x }{ y } \)=1 ⇒ x=y .....(i)
In right ΔACD, \(\frac { AC }{ CD } \)=tan 600
⇒ \(\frac { x+1.46 }{ y } =\sqrt { 3 } \)
⇒ \(\frac { x+1.46 }{ x } \)=1.73 [Using (i)]
⇒ x+1.46=1.73x ⇒ 0.73x=1.46 ⇒ x=2

(i) (b) Let AB be the monument of height 42 m and C is the point where they are standing such that BC = 42 m.
Now, in \(\Delta\)ABC,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \tan \theta=\frac{A B}{B C} \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\frac{42}{42}=1 \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta & =1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \theta=45^{\circ}
\end{aligned}\)
(ii) (a) In \(\Delta\)ABC,

\(\begin{aligned}
\tan 60^{\circ} & =\frac{A B}{B C} \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt{3} & =\frac{42}{B C} \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad B C & =\frac{42}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{42 \sqrt{3}}{3}=14 \sqrt{3} \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
=14 \times 1.732=24.248=24.25 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}\)
(iii) (a) Let AB be the height of the tower.

Then, in \(\Delta\)ABC, tan 60°\(=\frac{A B}{B C} \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\frac{h}{20}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) h = 20\(\sqrt3\) m
(b) Let h and x be the height and length of shadow of the vertical tower.

Then, in \(\Delta\)ABC,
\(\begin{array}{rlrl}
\tan \theta & =\frac{A B}{B C} \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\frac{h}{x} \\
\end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{rlrl}
\Rightarrow & & \tan \theta & =1 \\

(i) (a): Let the production during first year be a and let d be the increase in production every year. Then,
a6 = 16000 \(\Rightarrow\)a + 5d = 16,000 (i)
and a9 = 22600 \(\Rightarrow\)a + 8d = 22600 (ii)
On substracting (i) from (ii) , we get
3d = 6600 \(\Rightarrow\) d = 2200
Putting d = 2200 in (i) we get,
a + 5 x 2200 = 16000
\(\Rightarrow\) a + 11000 = 16000 \(\Rightarrow\) a = 16000 - 11000 = 5000
Thus , a = 5000 and d = 2200
Production during first year, a = 5000.
(ii) (c): Production during 8th year is given by a8
= (a + 7d)
= (5000 + 7(2200))
= (5000 + 15400)
= 20400.
(iii) (a): a2 = (a + d)
= (5000 + 2200) = 7200.
a3 = (a2 + d)
= 7200 + 2200 = 9400.
Production during first 3 years = 5000 + 7200 + 9400 = 21600
(iv) (c): an = 5000 + (n – 1)2200 = 29200
(n – 1)2200 = 29200 – 5000 = 24200
⇒ n – 1 = 11
⇒ n = 12
(v) (d): a4 = (a + 3d)
= (5000 + 3(2200)) = 5000 + 6600 = 11600.
a7 = (a6 + d)
= 16000 + 2200 = 18200.
Difference = 18200 – 11600 = 6600

\(\because \Delta\)PQR is a right angled triangle.
\(\therefore\) PR2 + RQ2 = PQ2
\(\Rightarrow P R^{2}=(13)^{2}-(12)^{2}=25 \Rightarrow P R=5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(i) (c) : \(\cos \theta=\frac{Q R}{P Q}=\frac{12}{13} \)
(ii) (c) : \(\sec \theta=\frac{1}{\cos \theta}=\frac{13}{12} \)
(iii) (c) : \(\tan \theta=\frac{P R}{R Q}=\frac{5}{12}\)
\(\therefore \frac{\tan \theta}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta}=\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{1+\frac{25}{144}}=\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{169}{144}}=\frac{60}{169}\)
(iv) (a): \(\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\tan \theta}=\frac{12}{5}\) [Using (1)]
\(\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{P Q}{P R}=\frac{13}{5} \)
\(\therefore \quad \cot ^{2} \theta-\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \theta=\frac{144}{25}-\frac{169}{25}=-1\)
(v) (b): \(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta=1\) (Using identity)
