Let LHS = \(\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} A}-\frac{\sin ^{2} A\left(1-2 \sin ^{2} A\right)}{\cos ^{2} A\left(2 \cos ^{2} A-1\right)}\) \(\left[\because \sec ^{2} \theta=\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} \theta}\right]\)
\(=\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} A}-\frac{\sin ^{2} A\left[1-2\left(1-\cos ^{2} \frac{1}{A}\right)\right]}{\cos ^{2} A\left(2 \cos ^{2} A-1\right)}\) \(\left[\because \sin ^{2} \theta=1-\cos ^{2} \theta\right]\)

cos9 \(\alpha\) = sin \(\alpha\)
\(\Rightarrow \sin \left(90^{\circ}-9 \alpha\right)=\sin \alpha\) \(\left[\because \cos \theta=\sin \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)\right]\)
90°- 90 \(\alpha\) = \(\alpha\) \(\left[\because 9 \alpha<90^{\circ} \text { i. e. acute angle }\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 10 \alpha=90^{\circ} \Rightarrow \alpha=9^{\circ}\)
Hence, find tan 5\(\alpha\)

Using Euclid's division lemma for 234 and 111, we get
234 =111 x 2 + 12
Now 111 = 12 x 9 +3 and 12 = 3 x 4 + 0
\(\therefore\) HCF = 3
A.TQ. 3 = 234x + 111y
\(\Rightarrow\) 3 - 234x = 111y \(\Rightarrow\) \({{3-234x}\over{111}}=y\)
Taking x = - 9 we get \({{3-234\times-9}\over{111}}=y\)
\(\Rightarrow\) y = 19.
6.
If x + 7 is a factor then (-7) is a root.
So, f(-7) = (-7)4 + 10(-7)3 + 25(-7)2 + 15(-7) + k = 0
(when it is a root the polynomial should be equal to zero when value is substituted)
2401 - 3430 + 1225 - 105 + k = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) 3626 - 3535 + k = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) 91 + k = 0
\(\therefore\) k = - 91

\(\frac { 3 }{ 6 } \neq \frac { 2 }{ -4 } \)
i.e., \(\\ \frac { { a }_{ 1 } }{ { a }_{ 2 } } \neq \frac { { b }_{ 1 } }{ { b }_{ 2 } } \)
Hence, the pair of linear equations is consistent.
8.
LHS=\((\tan { \theta } +2)(2\tan { \theta } +1)\)
\(=2\tan ^{ 2 }{ \theta } +4\tan { \theta } +\tan { \theta } +2\)
\(=2\tan ^{ 2 }{ \theta } +2+5\tan { \theta } \)
\(=2(\tan ^{ 2 }{ \theta } +1)+5\tan { \theta } \)
\(=2\sec ^{ 2 }{ \theta } +5\tan { \theta } \quad \left[ \because 1+\tan ^{ 2 }{ \theta } =\sec ^{ 2 }{ \theta } \right] \)
\(=5\tan { \theta } +2\sec ^{ 2 }{ \theta } \)=RHS
Hence proved.

Here, a = 3, d = 15 - 3 = 12
Let an = 132 + a54
\(\Rightarrow\) an - a54 = 132
\(\Rightarrow\) (n - 54) 12 = 132
\(\Rightarrow\) n - 54 = \(\frac{132}{12}\) \(\Rightarrow\) n - 54 = 11
\(\Rightarrow\) n = 11 + 54 = 65
\(\therefore\) an = 65

If all the zeroes of q(x) are also the zeroes of p(x). Then q(x) is a factor of p(x) and if we divide p(x) with q(x). then the remainder must be zero. So

So; -1-a=0 or 3+3a=0 or b-2a=0
⇒ a=-1 or a=-1 or b=2a ⇒ b=-2.
So for a = -1, b = - 2 q(x) has all the zeroes of the polynomial p(x).
By division algorithm,
x5-x4-4x3+3x2+3x-2=(x3+2x2-1)(x2-3x+2)
x2-3x+2=0
⇒ (x-2)(x-1)=0 ⇒ x=1,2
All zeroes of p(x) but not g(x).

Let x be the digit at unit's place and y be the digit at ten's place of the value of the number.
According to the given condition
x + y = 9 .....(i)
Value of the number = x + 10y
When we reverse the order of the digits, the value of the new number = y + 10x
We are given that,
9 \(\times\) (x + 10y) = 2 \(\times\) (y + 10x)
\(\Rightarrow\) 9x + 90y = 2y + 20x
\(\Rightarrow\) 88y = 11x
\(\Rightarrow\) x = 8y \(\Rightarrow\) x - 8y = 0.....(ii)
Subtract (ii) from (i),
x + y = 9
x - 8y = 0
\(\underline { - \quad + \quad - } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) 9y = 9
\(\therefore\) Y = 1
From (i), x + 1 = 9
\(\therefore\)x = 8
Hence, the number is : 10y + x = 10 \(\times\) 1 + 8 = 18
14.
(i) False, because the value of tan A lies between +\(\infty\) and -\(\infty\)
(ii) True, because sec A is always greater than 1.
(iii) False, because cos A is the abbreviation of cosine of \(\angle A\) and for cosecant of \(\angle A\) the abbreviation is cosec A.
(iv) False, because cot A is just a symbol and cannot be separated.
(v) False, because the value of sin\(\theta\) is always less than or equal to 1. Here sin\(\theta\) = 4/3 which is greater than 1, so it is not possible for any \(\theta.\)
15.
First, write the given number in the form of p/q and then factorise the denominator.
(i) Denominator is of the form 2n 5m
(ii) Denominator contains a factor other than 2 or 5.

Given equations is \(x^{ 2 }-3x-10=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{ 2 }-5x+2x-10=0\)
\(\left[ \because -5x(2)=-10\\ and-5+2=-3 \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow x(x-5)+2(x-5)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x-5=0\quad \Rightarrow x=5\)
\(\Rightarrow x+2=0\Rightarrow x=-2\)
Hence, the roots of the equation
\(x^{ 2 }-3x-10=0\quad are-2\quad and\quad 5\)

Given: A tower PQ subtending angle α at the point A. Point B is b m vertically above A. From B angle of depression of Q is β.
To prove:
PQ=height of the tower =b tanα cotβ
Proof: Let AQ=x
ㄥEBQ=β
EB||QA
⇒ ㄥBQA=β [Alternate angles]
In right angled ∆BAQ,
\(\frac { AB }{ AQ } =\frac { b }{ x } \)=tanβ
⇒ \(\frac { b }{ x } \)=tanβ
⇒ x=b cotβ
\(\frac { PQ }{ QA } =\frac { h }{ x } \)=tanα
⇒ h=x tanα
=b cotβ tanα=b tanα cotβ

Here d1 = 1, d2 = 2, d3 = 3
Ist term, a = 1
S1 = \({n\over2}[2\times1+(n-1){d}_{1}]\)
\(={n\over2}[2+(n-1)1]\)
\(={n\over2}(n+1)\)
S2 = \({n\over2}[2\times1+(n-1){d}_{2}]\)
\(={n\over 2}[2+(n-1)]={n}^{2}\)
S3 = \({n\over2}[2\times1+(n-1)3]\)
\(={n\over2}[3n-1]\)
Now S1 + S2 = \({n\over2}(n+1)+{n\over2}(3n-1)\)
\(={n\over2}(n+1+3n-1)\)
\(={n\over2}\times4n={2n}^{2}\) .....(i)
and 2 X S2 = 2 X n2 .....(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
S1 + S3 = 2S2
19.
Let p(u) = 4u2 + 8u = 4u(u+2)
To find zeroes, put p(u) = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) 4u(u+2) = 0 \(\Rightarrow\) u = 0 or u + 2 = 0 [\(\because\) 4 \(\neq\)0]
\(\Rightarrow\) u = 0 or u = -2
Hence, zeroes of the given polynonial are 0 and -2.
Verification
Here, sum of zeroes = 0 - 2 = -2 = -(8/4)
=-\(\frac{Coefficient \quad of \quad u}{Coefficient \quad of \quad u^{2}}\)
and product of zeroes
=0 \(\times\)-2 = 0 = (0/4) = \(\frac{Constant \quad term}{Coefficient \quad of \quad u^{2}}\)
so, the relationship between the zeroes and its coefficients is verified.

a(x + y) + b(x -.y) = a.2 - ab + b2 ......(i)
a(x + y) - b(x - y) = a2 + b2 + ab ......(ii)
Rearrange (i) x (a - b) and (ii) x (a + b).
(a - b) [(a + b)x + (a - b)y = a2 - ab + b2]
(a + b)[(a -b)x + (a + b)y = a2 + ab + b2]
(a2-b2)x + (a-b)2y = (a - b)(a2-ab+b2) .....(iii)
(a2-b2)x + (a+b)2y = (a+b)(a2+ab+b2) .......(iv)
On subtracting (iv) from (iii)
[(a-b)2-(a+b)2]y = a3 - a2b + ab2 - ba2 + ab2 - b3 - b3 - a3 - a2b - ab2 - ba2 - ab2
-4aby = -4a2b-2b3
-4aby = -2b[2a2+b2]
y=\(\left[ \frac { { 2a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 } }{ 2a } \right] \)
Put in equation (i), we have
(a+b)x = a2-ab+b2-(a-b)
(a+b)x = a2 - ab + b2 - (a-b)\({ \left( \frac { { 2a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 } }{ 2a } \right) }\)
2a(a+b)x = 2a3 - 2a2b + 2ab2 - 2a3 - ab2 + 2a2b+b2
2a(a+b)x = ab2 + b3 = b2(a+b)
\(x={b^2\over2a}\)

\(\Rightarrow \quad -25=\frac { n }{ 2 } \left[ -12+(n-1)\times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad -50=n\left[ \frac { -24+(n-1) }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow\) - 100 = n[n-25]
\(\Rightarrow\) n2 - 25n + 100 = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) (n-20)(n-5) = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) n = 20, 5
\(\Rightarrow\) S20 = S5
Two answers\(\because\) a is negative and d is positive and the sum of the terms from 6th to 20th is zero.

With reference to angle x,
(i) perpendicular = b, hypotenuse = c and base = a
(ii) perpendicular = e, hypotenuse = f and base = d
(iii) perpendicular = g, hypotenuse = i and base = h

sin A = cos B \(\Rightarrow\)sin A = sin (900- B)
\(\Rightarrow\) A = 900 - B [\(\because\)A and (900 - B) are acute angles]
\(\therefore\) A + B = 900
Hence proved.

Given, length of the room = 8 m 25 cm
= 825 cm [ \(\because \) 1 m - 100 cm]
Breadth of the room = 6 m 75 cm
= 675 cm
and height of the room = 4 m 50 cm
= 450 cm
Clearly, the length of the longest rod (in cm) is the HCF of 825, 675 and 450.
| 3 | 825 |
| 5 | 275 |
| 5 | 55 |
| 11 | 11 |
| 1 |
| 3 | 675 |
| 3 | 225 |
| 3 | 75 |
| 5 | 25 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 1 |
| 2 | 450 |
| 3 | 225 |
| 3 | 75 |
| 5 | 25 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 1 |
Thus, 825 = 3 x 52 x 11
675 = 33 x 52 and 450 = 2 x 32 x 52
Now, HCF(825, 675, 450) = Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor
= 3 x 52 = 75
Hence, the required length of the longest rod is 75 cm.

Given, \(\frac { 16 }{ x } -1=\frac { 15 }{ x+1 } \)
\(\frac { 16 }{ x } -\frac { 15 }{ x+1 } =1\\ \frac { 16(x+1)-15x }{ x(x+1) } =1 \)
16x+16-15x=x2+x
x+16=x2+x
x2=16
x2=\(\pm\)4
Hence, the roots are 4 and -4.

(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

(i) (c) : Let AC be the length of the ladder.

\(\text { In } \Delta A B C, \frac{B C}{A C}=\sin 30^{\circ} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{6}{A C}=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow A C=12 \mathrm{~m}\)
(ii) (b): \(\text { In } \Delta A B C, \frac{A B}{A C}=\cos 30^{\circ}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{5}{A C}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow A C=\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} \mathrm{~m}\)

(iii) (a) : Let BC be the height of window from ground.

\(\text { In } \Delta A B C, \frac{B C}{A B}=\tan 60^{\circ} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{B C}{2.5}=\sqrt{3} \)
\(\Rightarrow B C=2.5 \times 1.73=4.325 \mathrm{~m}\)
(iv) (d): Let AB be the horizontal distance between the foot of ladder and wall.

\(\text { In } \Delta A B C, \frac{B C}{A B}=\tan 45^{\circ} \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{8}{A B}=1 \Rightarrow A B=8 \mathrm{~m}\)
(v) (b): Let the required distance be x.
\(\text { In } \Delta A B C,(9)^{2}=x^{2}+(6)^{2}\)
[By Pythagoras theorem]

\(\Rightarrow 81-36=x^{2} \Rightarrow 45=x^{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x=3 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~m}\)
