A2 = A.A
\(=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 3 & 1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{rr} 3 & 1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{array}\right]\)
\(=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 9-1 & 3+2 \\ -3-2 & -1+4 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 8 & 5 \\ -5 & 3 \end{array}\right]\)

Let A be the event of getting electrification contract
\(P(A)=\frac{3}{5}\)
Let B be the event of getting plumbing contract
\(
P(\bar{B}) =\frac{5}{8}
\)
\(1-P(B) =\frac{5}{8}
\)
\(P(B) =1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}
\)
\(Also\ P(A \cup B)=\frac{5}{7}\)
\(\mathrm{P}(A \cup B)=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{P}(A \cap B)
\)
\(\frac{5}{7} =\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{8}-\mathrm{P}(A \cap B)
\)
\(\mathrm{P}(A \cap B) =\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{5}{7}
\)
\(=\frac{168+105-200}{280}=\frac{73}{280}
\)
Probability of getting both contracts \(=\frac{73}{280}\)
4.
When a, b, c are divided by 13 leaves the remainder 9, 7, 10 respectively
a = 13q1 + 9
b = 13q2 + 7
c = 13q3 + 10
Now a + 2b + 3c = (13q1 + 9) + 2 (13q2 + 7) + 3 (13q3 + 10)
= 13q1 + 9 + 26q2 + 14 + 39q3 + 30
= 13 (q1 + 2q2 + 3q3) + 53
= 13 (q1 + 2q2 + 3q3) + (4 x 13 + 1)
= 13 (q1 + 2q2 + 3q3 + 4) + 1
a + 2b + 3c is divided by 13, the remainder is 1.
5.
PQ = 20 m
PX - XQ = 4 m ...(1)

Squaring both sides,
PX2 + XQ2 - 2PX . QX = 16 (∵ PQ2-2P x QX = 16
400-16 = 2PX x QX
384 = 2PX· QX
\(\therefore { (PX+QX) }^{ 2 }=\underbrace { { PX }^{ 2 }+{ QX }^{ 2 } } +2PX.QX\)
= 400 + 2 x 192
= 784 = 282.
∴ PX + QX = 28
From(1) & (2)2 PX = 32 ⇒ PX = 16 m
QX = 12 m
∴ The distance from the two gates to the pole PX and QX is 12m, 16m
6.

Let \(\triangle\)ABC be B triangle points D, E, F are angular bisectors of \(\angle A, \angle B \text { and } \angle C\) respectively. By angular bisector theorem we have
\( \frac{B D}{D C}=\frac{A B}{A C} \Rightarrow \mathrm{AB}=\frac{B D \times A C}{D C} \)
\(\frac{A C}{B C}=\frac{A F}{F B} \Rightarrow \mathrm{AC}=\frac{A F \times B C}{F B} \)
\(\frac{A E}{E C}=\frac{A B}{B C} \Rightarrow \mathrm{AB}=\frac{A E \times B C}{E C}\)
From (1) and (3), we have
\(\frac{B D \times A C}{D C}=\frac{A E \times B C}{E C}\)
Now substituting (2) in (4) we have
\( \frac{B D \times\left(\frac{A F \times B C}{F B}\right)}{D C} =\frac{A E \times B C}{E C} \)
\(\frac{B D \times A F \times B C}{D C \times F B} =\frac{A E \times B C}{E C} \)
\(B D \times A F \times E C =\frac{A E \times B C \times D C \times F B}{B C} \)
\(B D \times A F \times C E =E A \times F B \times D C \)
\(\therefore \frac{B D \times A F \times C E}{E A \times F B \times D C}=1\)
Hence by Ceva's theorem we conclude that the angle bisectors of a triangle are concurrent.
7.
Given equation is y = - 0.1 x + 1 where 'x' is time (in seconds) and 'y' is percentage of megabytes remaining.
Graph of y = -0.1x + 1
\(y=-\frac{x}{10}+1\)
10y = -x + 10
Points to be plotted
| x | 0 | 10 |
| y | 1 | 0 |
8.

Therefore, \(\sqrt { 64{ x }^{ 2 }-16{ x }^{ 3 }+17{ x }^{ 2 }-2x+1 } \) = |8x2 - x + 1|
9.
Clearly the ladder AC make a right triangle with the wall AB force at a distance BC. \(\angle\)B - 90o

By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
52 = 42 + BC2
BC2 = 25 - 16
BC2 = 9
BC = 3m
If C moves 1.6 m towards the wall BC becomes
3m - 1.6m = 1.4m
Now in \(\triangle\)ABC
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
52 = AB2 +(1.4)2
25 - 1.96 = AB2
AB2 = 23.04
AB = 4.8m
The new height of the wall = 4.8 m
Difference =4.8 - 4 = -0.8m
The ladder would be placed 0.8 m upward the wall.
10.
From the figure,
slope = \(\frac { change\quad in\quad y\quad coordinate }{ change\quad is\quad x\quad coordinate } \)
=\(\frac { 68-32 }{ 20-0 } =\frac { 36 }{ 20 } =\frac { 9 }{ 5 } \)= 1.8
The line crosses the Y axis at (0, 32)
So the slope is \(\frac { 9 }{ 5 } \) and y intercept is 32.
11.
Here the value of n is not given. But the last term is given. From this, we can find the value of n.
Given a = 0.40 and l = 1, we find d = 0.43 - 0.40 = 0.03
Therefore, n = \(\left( \frac { l-a }{ d } \right) +1\)
= \(\left( \frac { 1-0.40 }{ 0.03 } \right) +1=21\)
Sum of first n terms of an A.P Sn = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \left[ a+l \right] \)
Here, n = 21. Therefore, S21 = \(\frac { 21 }{ 2 } \left[ 0.40+1 \right] =14.7\)
So, the sum of 21 term of the given series is 14,7.
12.
f: [-5,9] ⟶ R
(i) f(-3) + f(2)
= [6(-3) + 1 ] + [ 5(2)2 - 1]
= ( -18 + 1) + ( 20 - 1)
= -17 + 19 = 2.
(ii) f(7) - f(1)
= [ 3(7) - 4 ] - [6(1) + 1 ]
= (21 - 4) - (6 + 1)
=17 - 7 = 10
(iii) 2 f(4) + f(8)
= 2 [ 5(4)2 - 1] + [3(8) - 4]
= 2[80 - 1] + [ 24 - 4]
= 158 + 20 = 178
(iv) \(\frac { 2f(-2)-f(6) }{ f(4)+f(-2) } \)
f(-2) = 6x + 1 = 6(-2) + 1 = -11
f(6) = 3x - 4 = 3(6) - 4 = 14
f(4) = 5x2 - 1 = 5(42) - 1 = 79
f(-2) = 6x + 1 = 6(-2) + 1 =-11
\(\frac { 2f(-2)-f(6) }{ f(4)+f(-2) } =\frac { 2(-11)-14 }{ 79+(-11) } =\frac { -22-14 }{ 68 } \)
= \(\frac { -36 }{ 68 } =\frac { -9 }{ 17 } \)
13.

14.
Let the present ages of Vani, her father and her grand father be x, y, z respectively
Given
\(\frac { x+y+z }{ 3 } =53\Rightarrow x+y+z=159\quad \quad ...(1)\)
\(\frac{z}{2}+\frac{y}{3}+\frac{x}{4}=65\)
6z + 4y + 3x = 780 ...(2)
(z - 4) = 4(x - 4)
4x - z = 12 ..........(3)
Consider (1) and (3


Substituting x = 24 in (4)
5(24) + y = 171
y = 171 - 120 = 51
Substituting x = 24, y = 51 in (1)
24 + 51 + z = 159
z = 159 - 75 = 84
Present age of Vani = 24 years
Present age of her father = 51 years
Present age of her grandfather = 84 years.
15.
From the diagram,
The solid is a cuboid' volume of cuboid = length x breadth x height
where l = 24 - 2x, b - 24 - 2x,. h = x
Volume V (x) = (24 - 2x) (24 - 2x) x
V(x) = x(24 - 2x)2, x > 0
= 4x3 - 96x2 + 576x, x > 0
So, the domain is 0 < x < 12

17.
\(60-t=\frac { { t }^{ 2 } }{ 4 } -3\)
⇒ t2-12 = 240-4t
⇒ t2+4t-252 = 0
⇒ t2+18t-14t-252 = 0
⇒ t(t +18)-14(t +18) = 0
⇒ (t +18)(t-14) = 0
∴ t = 14 or t = -18 is not possible
18.
Let the speed of boat in still water be 'v'
\(\because speed=\frac { distance }{ time } \Rightarrow time=\frac { distance }{ speed } \)
\(\therefore \frac { 36 }{ v-4 } -\frac { 36 }{ v+4 } =\frac { 96 }{ 60 } =\frac { 8 }{ 5 } (\because 1.6hrs=\frac { 96 }{ 60 } )\)
\(\Rightarrow 36(v+4)-36(v-4)=\frac { 8 }{ 5 } (v-4)(v+4)\)
\(\Rightarrow 36v+144-36v+144=\frac { 8 }{ 5 } ({ v }^{ 2 }+4v+4v-16)\)
\(\Rightarrow 288=\frac { 8 }{ 5 } { v }^{ 2 }-\frac { 128 }{ 5 } \Rightarrow 8{ v }^{ 2 }-128=1440\)
\(\Rightarrow 8{ v }^{ 2 }=1568\Rightarrow { v }^{ 2 }=196{ v }^{ 2 }=\pm 14\)
∴ Speed of the boat = 144m/hr.
(∵ speed cannot be -ve)

252525 = 31 x 52 x 71 x 131 x 371
363636 = 22 x 33 x 71 x 131 x 371
H.C.F. = 31 x 71 x 131 x 371
= 3 x 3367
= 10101
20.
Given, Speed = 1.2 m/s,
time = 4 seconds
Distance = speed x time
= 1.2 x 4
= 4.8 m
Let x be the length of the shadow after 4 seconds
\(\Delta ABE\sim \Delta CDE,\frac { BE }{ DE } =\frac { AB }{ CD } \) gives \(\frac { 4.8+x }{ x } =\frac { 3.6 }{ 0.9 } =\frac { 3.6 }{ 0.9 } =4\) (since 90 cm = 0.9 m)
4.8 + x = 4x, gives 3x = 4.8 so, x = 1.6m
The length of his DE = 1.6m
21.
To find the H.C.F. of (340 , 412)
412 > 340 = H.C.F. (412, 340)
Using Euclid's division algorithm we have
412 = 340 x 1 + 72
The remainder 72 ≠ 0
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm
340 = 72 x 4 + 52
The remainder 52 ≠ 0.
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm
72 = 52 x 1 + 20
The remainder 20 ≠ 0.
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm,
52 = 20 x 2 + 12
The remainder 12 ≠ 0.
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm.
20 = 12 x 1 + 8
The remainder 8 ≠ 0.
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm
12 = 8 x 1 + 4
The remainder 4 ≠ 0.
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm
8 = 4 x 2+0
The remainder is 0.
Therefore H.C.F. of 340 and 412 is 4.
22.
Given A = {x \(\in \) W| x < 2} A = {0,1}
B = {x \(\in \) N| 1 < x ≤ 4} B = {2,3,4}
C = {3,5}
A x (B U C) = (A x B) U (A x C)
\(B\cup C\) = {2,3,4,5}
A x (B U C) = {0,1} x {2,3,4,5}
= {{0,2},(0,3),(0,4),(0,5),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5)} ...(1)
A x B = {0,1} x {2,3,4}
= {(0,2),(0,3),(0,4),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4)}
A x C = {0,1} x {3,5}
= {{0,3},(0,5),(1,3),(1,5)}
\((A\times B)\cup (A\cup C)\) = {(0,2),(0,3),(0,4),(0,5),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5)} ...(2)
From (1) x (2),it is clear that
\(A\times (B\cup C)=(A\times B)\cup (A\times C)\)
Hence verified
23.
Given A = {5,6} , B = {4,5,6} , C = {5,6,7}
L.H.S: A x A = {5,6} x {5,6}
= {(5,6),(5,6),(6,5),(6,6)}
R.H.S: B x B = {4,5,6} x {4,5,6}
= {(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}
C x C = {5,6,7} x {5,6,7}
= {(5,5),(5,6),(5,7),(6,5),(6,6),(6,7),(7,5),(7,5),(7,6),(7,7)}
(B x B) ∩ (C x C) = {(5,5),(5,6),(6,5),(6,6)}
LHS = RHS
A x A = (B x B) ∩ (C x C)
Hence proved
24.
To find HCF of three given numbers, first we have to find HCF of the first two numbers.
To find HCF of 396 and 504
Using Euclid’s division algorithm we get 504 = 396 x 1 + 108
The remainder is 108 \(\neq \) 0
Again applying Euclid’s division algorithm 396 = 108 x 3 + 72
The remainder is 72 \(\neq \) 0
Again applying Euclid’s division algorithm 108 = 72 x 1 + 36
The remainder is 36 \(\neq \) 0
Again applying Euclid division algorithm 72 = 36 x 2 + 0
Here the remainder is zero. Therefore HCF of 396 , 504 = 36, To find the HCF of 636 and 36
Using Euclid’s division algorithm we get 636 = 36 x 17 + 24
The remainder is 24 \(\neq \) 0
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm 36 = 24 x 1 + 12
The remainder is 12 \(\neq \) 0
Again applying Euclid's division algorithm 24 = 12 x 2 + 0
Here the remainder is zero. Therefore HCF of 636,36 = 12
Therefore Highest Common Factor of 396, 504 and 636 is 12.
25.
We know that the tangents drawn from are external point to a circle are equal.
Therefore AD AF = x
BD = BE = y
and CE = CF = z
Now, AB = 12 cm, BC = 8 cm, and CA = 10 cm.
x + y = 12,y + z = 8 and z + x = 10
(x + y) + (y + z) + (z + x) = 12 + 8 + 10
2(x + y + z) = 30
x+ y + z = 15
Now, x + y = 12 and x + y + z = 15
12 + z = 15
Z = 3
y + z = 8 and x + y + z = 15
\(x+8=15\Rightarrow x=7\)
and z + x = 10 and x + y + z = 15
\(10+y=15\Rightarrow y=5\)
Hence, AD = x = 7cm,
BE = y = 5 cm and
CF = z = 3 cm
