(i) Let the assumed mean, A = 1400 and h = 400
Calculation of Mean
| Height (in m) x1 | No. of Villages fi | D = x1-1400 | \({ u }_{ i }=\frac { { x }_{ i }-1400 }{ 400 } \) | fiui |
| 200 | 142 | -1200 | -3 | -426 |

| Total | \(N=\sum { f_{ i } } =1343\) | \(\sum { f_{ i } }{ u_{ i } } =-1395\) |
We have A = 1400, h = 400, \(\sum { f_{ i } }{ u_{ i } }\) = -1395 and N = 1343
Mean = A + \(h\left\{ \frac { 1 }{ N } \sum { f_{ i } } { u }_{ i } \right\} \)
= 1400 + 400\(\times\) \(\left( \frac { -1395 }{ 1343 } \right) \)
= 1400 - 415.49 = 984.51

It can be observed from the given data that the maximum class frequency is 40, belonging to 1500 − 2000 intervals.
Therefore, modal class = 1500 − 2000
Lower limit (l) of modal class = 1500
Frequency (f1) of modal class = 40
Frequency (f0) of class preceding modal class = 24
Frequency (f2) of class succeeding modal class = 33
Class size (h) = 500
\(\text { Mode }=l+\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right) \times h \)
\(=1500+\left(\frac{40-24}{2(40)-24-33}\right) \times 500 \)
\(=1500+\left(\frac{16}{80-57}\right) \times 500\)
=1500+8000/23
Therefore, modal monthly expenditure was Rs 1847.83.
To find the class mark, the following relation is used.
\(Class mark =\frac{\text { Upper class limit + Lower class limit }}{2}\)
Class size (h) of the given data = 500

| 4500-5000 | 7 | 4750 | 2000 | 4 | 28 |
| Total | 200 | -35 |
From the table, we obtain
\(\sum f_{i}=200 \)
\(\sum f_{i} u_{i}=-35 \)
\(\text { Mean } \bar{x}=a+\left(\frac{\sum f_{i} u_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\right) x h \)
\(\bar{x}=2750+\left(\frac{-354}{200}\right) \times 500\)
= 2750 - 87.5
= 2662.5
Therefore, mean monthly expenditure was Rs 2662.50.

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.

Let PQ and PR be two tangents drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O.

To prove \(\angle\)QOR = 180° – \(\angle\)QPR
or \(\angle\)QOR + \(\angle\)QPR = 180°
Proof In \(\Delta\)OQP and \(\Delta\)ORP,
PQ = PR [\(\because\) tangents drawn from an external point are equal in length]
OQ = OR [radii of circle]
OP = OP [common sides]
\(\therefore\) \(\Delta\)OQP \(\cong\) \(\Delta\)ORP [by SSS congruence rule]
Then, \(\angle\)QPO = \(\angle\)RPO [by CPCT]
and \(\angle\)POQ = \(\angle\)POR [by CPCT]
\(\left.\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & \angle Q P R=2 \angle O P Q \\ \text { and } & \angle Q O R=2 \angle P O Q \end{array}\right\}\) ...(i)
Now, in right angled \(\Delta\)OQP, \(\angle\)QPO + \(\angle\)QOP = 90°
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle\)QOP = 90° - \(\angle\)QPO
\(\Rightarrow\) 2\(\angle\)QOP = 180°- 2 \(\angle\)QPO
[multiplying both sides by 2]
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle\)QOR = 180° - \(\angle\)QPR [from Eq. (i)]
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle\)QOR + \(\angle\)QPR = 180° Hence proved.

\(\Rightarrow\) \({ { x}\over{ 42} }+1={ { x}\over{ 35} }-1\Rightarrow1+1={ { x}\over{35 } }-{ {x }\over{ 42} }\)
\(\Rightarrow\) 2 = \({ {6x-5x }\over{ 210} }\Rightarrow x=420\)
Original expenditure of mess was Rs 420

From the triangle ABC
\({h\over 28.2}=tan60^0\)
h = 28.2 x tan 60°
= 28.2 x \(\sqrt3\)

Height ofthe tower = AC+CD
= 50 m
9.

Let AB = 20 m be the height of tower. Let the ball lying on the ground at point C.
∴ ㄥACB = 60\(\unicode{xb0} \)
Consider rt. angled ΔABC, we have
\(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = tan 60\(\unicode{xb0} \)
\(\frac { 20 }{ BC } =\sqrt { 3 } \)
⇒ BC = \(\frac { 20 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { 20\sqrt { 3 } }{ 3 } \)
=\(\frac { 20\times 1.73 }{ 3 } \)
=11.53 m.
∴ The distance between the foot of the tower and the ball is 11.53 m.

Area of triangle OAB \(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(12)^{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} \times 12 \times 12}{4}=36 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
Area of circle \(=\pi r^{2}=\frac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 6=\frac{792}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
Area of shaded region = Area of ΔOAB + Area of circle − Area of sector OCDE
\(\begin{array}{l} =36 \sqrt{3}+\frac{792}{7}-\frac{132}{7} \\ =\left(36 \sqrt{3}+\frac{660}{7}\right) c m^{2} \end{array}\)

In given figure,
sin 45o = \(\frac { BC }{ AC } \Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } =\frac { BC }{ 150 } \)

Given, umbrella to be a flat circle. So, the central angle of an umbrella is 360°.
Since, umbrella has 8 ribs.
\(\therefore\) Angle between two ribs.
\(=\frac{360^{\circ}}{8}=45^{\circ}\)
Area between two ribs = Area of one sector of the umbrella
\(=\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2=\frac{45^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(45)^2[\because r=45, \text { given }]\)

Speed of ship \(=36 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
Time taken \(=2 \mathrm{~min}\)
Therefore Distance covered by ship in \(2 \mathrm{~min}=36 \times \frac{2}{60}=1.2 \mathrm{~km}\)
Distance of ship from foot of lighthouse =1.3-1.2
\(=0.1 \mathrm{~km} =100 \mathrm{~m}\)
Let angle of elevation of the ship to the top of the lighthouse \(=y^{\circ}\)
Then, \(\tan y=\frac{173.2}{100}=1.732\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \tan y=\sqrt{3} {[\because 1.732=\sqrt{3}]} \)
\( \Rightarrow \quad y=60^{\circ} \)
\({\left[\because \tan \sqrt{3}=\tan 60^{\circ}\right]}\)
Now, \(y=x^{\circ} \quad[\because\) alternate interior angles are equal ]
Thus, \(x^{\circ}=60^{\circ}\)

Join OR and OS and let r be the radius of circle

BC = 38 cm, CD = 28 cm
BP 25 cm = BQ [tangent from external point]
CQ = BC- BQ = 38 - 25= 13 cm
∴ CR = CQ 13 cm
RD = CD - CR = 28 -13 = 15 cm
Quad. DROS is a square (3 angles are 90°)
∴ r = DR = 15 cm
21.
Here, AC = 24 cm, BC = 10 cm and AOB is a diameter.
Since angle in semicircle is a right angle i.e., \(\angle \)ACB = 90°
ஃ AB = \(\sqrt{AC^2+BC^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{24^2+10^2}\) = \(\sqrt{576+100}\)
= \(\sqrt{676}\) = 26 cm
ஃ RAdius, area of circle = \(26\over2\) = 13 cm
Now, Area of semicircle
= Area of semicircle - Area of \(\triangle\)ABC
= \(1\over2\)\(\pi\)r2 - \(1\over2\) x BC x BC
= \(1\over2\) x 3.14 x 13 x 13 - \(1\over2\) x 24 x 10
= \(530.66\over2\) - 120

(i) (c) From table, we see that maximum frequency is 23.Therefore, modal class is 35-45.
Here, l=35, f1 = 23, f0 = 21, f2 = 14 and h = 10
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Mode } & =l+\frac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2} \times h \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{23-21}{46-21-14} \times 10 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{20}{11}=35+1.82=36.82 \end{aligned}\)
(ii) (d) Since, class interval 35-45 has highest frequency i.e. 23, So it is modal class.
\(\therefore\) Upper limit of modal class is 45.
(iii) (d) Calculation of mean
| Class interval | Frequency (f1) | Class marks (xi) | fixi |
| 5-15 | 6 | 10 | 60 |
| 15-25 | 11 | 20 | 220 |
| 25-35 | 21 | 30 | 630 |
| 35-45 | 23 | 40 | 920 |
| 45-55 | 14 | 50 | 700 |
| 55-65 | 5 | 60 | 300 |
| Total | \(\Sigma\)fi = 80 | \(\Sigma f_i x_i=2830\) |
\(\therefore\) \(\text { Mean, } \bar{x}=\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}=\frac{2830}{80}=35.375=35.4\)
(iv) (a) Here, maximum frequency is 42 and the class corresponding to this frequency is 35 – 45. So, the modal class is 35-45.
\(\therefore\) l = 35, f1 = 42, f0 = 10, f2 = 24 and h = 10
Now, mode = \(\begin{aligned} & =l+\left(\frac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2}\right) \times h \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{42-10}{2 \times 42-10-24} \times 10 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{32}{50} \times 10=35+6.4=41.4 \end{aligned}\)
(v) (b) The cumulative frequency table for given data is
| Age | Number of cases (fi) | Cumulative frequency (cf) |
| 5-15 | 8 | 8 |
| 15-25 | 16 | 24 |
| 25-35 | 10 | 34 |
| 35-45 | 42 | 76 |
| 45-55 | 24 | 100 |
| 55-65 | 12 | 112 |
| Total | N = 112 |
Here, N = 112
\(\therefore \quad \frac{N}{2}=\frac{112}{2}=56\)
Since, the cumulative frequency just greater that 56 is 76 and the corresponding class interval is 35-45.
\(\therefore\) Median class = 35 - 45,
l = 35, cf = 34, h = 10 and f = 42
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Median } & =l+\frac{\left(\frac{N}{2}-f\right)}{f} \times h=35+\frac{56-34}{42} \times 10 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{22}{42} \times 10=35+5.24=40.24 \end{aligned}\)

(a) (iv) NS and NR are both tangent to the circle
So, \(N S \perp S A\) and \(N R \perp R A\)
[ \(\therefore\) Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact ]
\(\therefore \angle N S A=90^{\circ}\)
(b) (ii)
\(\angle N S A=90^{\circ} \quad \Rightarrow N A^{2}=N S^{2}+S A^{2}\) [ By Pythagora's Theorem]
\(\Rightarrow N S=\sqrt{N A^{2}-S A^{2}}=\sqrt{13^{2}-5^{2}}=\sqrt{169-25}\)
\(=\sqrt{144}=12 \mathrm{~m}\)
(c) (iiii)
NR = NS = 12m
Tangents drawn from an external point are equal
\(\therefore N R=12 \mathrm{~m}\)
(d) (iv)
\(\angle S N R+\angle R A S=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle R A S=180^{\circ}-\angle S N R\)
[\(\because\) The angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segments joining the points of contact to the centre]
\(\Rightarrow \angle R A S=180^{\circ}-\theta\)
(e) (i)
\(\angle R A S=180^{\circ}-\theta\) [ Calulated bove]
Now, \(\angle N A S=\angle N A R=\frac{1}{2} \angle R A S\)
[\(\because\) If two tangents are drawn from an external point, then they extend equal angles at the centre]
\(\Rightarrow \angle N A S=\frac{1}{2}\left(180^{\circ}-\theta\right)=90^{\circ}-\frac{\theta}{2}\)

\(\text { In } \Delta A B \dot{D}, \tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{A B}{B D}\)

\(\text { Now, in } \Delta \overline{A B C} \text { , }\)
\(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{A B}{B C}\)

\(\Rightarrow x=30(\sqrt{3}-1)=30 \times 0.73=21.9 \mathrm{~m}\)
(iv) (c): \(\text { In } \triangle A R S\)

\(\sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{R S}{A S} \)

(v) (c): \(\text { In } \Delta A B D, \frac{A B}{B D}=\tan 60^{\circ}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}
