Since, the opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the centre of the circle.
i.e ㄥAOB + ㄥCOD = 180o
⇒ ㄥCOD =180o - ㄥAOB
⇒ ㄥCOD = = 180o - 125o = 55o
21.
(i) (c): Class mark of class 25 - 29
\(=\frac{25+29}{2}=\frac{54}{2}=27\)
(ii) (d): Let us consider the following table:
| Class | Class mark (xi) | Frequency (fi) | = xi fi |
| 15-19 | 17 | 10 | 170 |
| 20-24 | 22 | 15 | 330 |
| 25-29 | 27 | 12 | 324 |
| 30-34 | 32 | 8 | 256 |
| 34-39 | 37 | 5 | 185 |
| Total | \(\Sigma f_{i}=50\) | \(\sum x_{i} f_{i}=1265\) |
\(\therefore \quad \operatorname{Mean}(\bar{x})=\frac{\sum x_{i} f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}=\frac{1265}{50}=25.3\)
Thus, the mean time to complete the work for a worker
= 25.3 hrs = 3 days
(iii) (d)
(iv) (a)
(v) (d): We know the measure of central tendency are mean, median and mode.
22.
(i) (c) : Area of square ABCD = 21 x 21 = 441 m2
(ii) (b) : Area of two quadrants \(=2\left(\pi r^{2} \times \frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\right)\)
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{21}{2} \times \frac{21}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}=173.25 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\)
(iii) (c) : Area of semi-circular temple \(=\frac{1}{2}\left(\pi r^{2}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{21}{2} \times \frac{21}{2}=173.25 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\)
(iv) (b): Area of unshaded region =Area of semi-circle + Area of two quadrants
= 173.25 + 173.25 = 346.5 m2
(v) (d): Area of shaded region = Area of square - (Area of two quadrants + Area of semi -circle)
= 441 - 346.5 = 94.5 m2
23.
(i) (b):In \(\Delta\)OAC, \(\angle\)OCA = 90°
[Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OAC + \(\angle\)AOC = 90° \(\Rightarrow\) x + y = 90°
(ii) (c):

Since, OB \(\perp\) PB [Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
and \(\angle\)PBA = 50° (Given)
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OBA = 90° - 50° = 40°
Also, OA = OB [Radii of circle]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OAB = \(\angle\)OBA = 40° [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
(iii) (d): In quadrilateral OQPR,
\(\angle\)ROQ + \(\angle\)RPQ = 180° [\(\because\)Angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment joining the point of contact at the centre]
\(\Rightarrow\) LROQ = 180° - 30° = 150°
(iv) (b): Here, \(\angle\)ABC = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
So, in \(\Delta\)ABC, \(\angle\)BAC = 180° - 90° - 55° = 35°
Also, \(\angle\)OA T = 90°
\(\Rightarrow\)\(\angle\)BAT + \(\angle\)OAB = 90° \(\Rightarrow\)\(\angle\)BAT = 90° - 35° = 55°
(v) (b): Here, \(\angle\)PAB = 72°
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OAB = 90° - 72° = 18°
Also, \(\angle\)AOB = 132° [Given]
Now, in \(\Delta\)OAB, \(\angle\)ABC = 180° - 132° - 18° = 30°
24.
(i) (b)
(ii) (c): In \(\Delta\)OAP and \(\Delta\)OBP,
\(\angle\)OAP = \(\angle\)OBP = 90°
[Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
OP = OP (Common)
OA = OB (Radii of circle)
So, \(\angle\)OAP == \(\angle\)OBP (By RHS congruency criterion)
(iii) (b): In quadrilateral OAPB, \(\angle\)AOB = 150° [Given]
\(\angle\)OAP = \(\angle\)OBP = 90°
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)APB = 360° - 90° - 90° - 150° = 30°
(iv) (d): We have, \(\angle\)APB = 40°

Now,PA =PB [Since, length of tangents drawn from an external point are equal]
In \(\Delta\)PAB, \(\angle\)PAB = \(\angle\)PBA = 70° [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Also, \(\angle\)PAB + \(\angle\)BAO = 90°
[Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle\)BAO = 90° - 70° = 20°
(v) (d): We have, \(\angle\)ABO = 45°

\(\because\) AO = OB (Radii of circle)
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)BAO = \(\angle\)ABO = 45° [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Now, in \(\Delta\)OAB,
\(\angle\)AOB = 180° - 45° - 45° = 90°
Since, \(\angle\)APB = 360° - 90° - 90° - 90° = 90° i.e., AP\(\perp\) BP
So, OAPB is a square.
