\(\Delta ACD\sim \Delta ABC\)
So,
\(\cfrac { AC }{ AB } =\cfrac { AD }{ AC } \)
AC²  = AB ·AD
Similarly \(\Delta BCD\sim \Delta BAC\)
So,
\(\cfrac { BC }{ BA } =\cfrac { BD }{ BC } \)
BC²  = BA·BD
From (1) and (2)
\(\cfrac { { BC }^{ 2 } }{ AC^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { BA.BD }{ AB.AD } =\cfrac { BD }{ AD } \)

Let AB be the ladder and CA be the wall with . the window at A.
Also, BC = 2.5 m and CA = 6 m
From Pythagoras theorem
AB² =  BC²+ CA²
= (2.5)² + (6)²
= 42.25
AB = 6.5
Thus, length at the ladder is 6.5 m.

A and B represent points on the bank on opposite sides at the river, so that AB is the width of the river. P is a point on the bridge at a height of 3m i.e., DP = 3 m. We are interested to determine the width at the river which is the length at the side AB of the ΔAPB.

Now, AB = AD + DB
In right ΔAPD,
ㄥA = 30^o
So, tan 30° = \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { 3 }{ AD } \)
i.e., \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { 3 }{ AD } \) (or) AD = 3\(\sqrt { 3 } \)
Also, in right ΔPBD,
B = 45^o
So, BD = PD = 3m
Now, AB = BD + AD
= 3 + 3\(\sqrt { 3 } \) = 3(1+\(\sqrt { 3 } \))m
Therefore, the width at the river is 3(+\(\sqrt { 3 } \))m

BL and CM are medians at the \(\triangle\)ABC in which
\(A=\angle { 90 }^{ 0 }\)
From \(\triangle\)ABC
BC² = AB² + AC²
(Pythagoras theorem)

From \(\Delta ABL\)
BL² = AL² + AB²
\({ BL }^{ 2 }=\left( \cfrac { { AC }^{ 2 } }{ 2 } \right) +{ AB }^{ 2 }\)
(L is the mid-point at AC)
\({ BL }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { { AC }^{ 2 } }{ 4 } +{ AB }^{ 2 }\)
4BL² = AC² + 4AB²
From \(\Delta CMA\)
CM² = AC² + AM²
\({ CM }^{ 2 }={ Ac }^{ 2 }+\left( \cfrac { AB }{ 2 } \right) ^{ 2 }\)
(M is the mid-point at AB)
\({ CM }^{ 2 }={ AC }^{ 2 }+\cfrac { { AB }^{ 2 } }{ 4 } \)
4CM² = 4AC²+ AB²
Adding (2) and (3), we have
4(BL² + CM²) = 5(AC² + AB²)
4(BL² + CM²) = 5BC²

We are given that sin 3A = cos (A - 26°) ...(1)
Since sin 3A = cos(90° - 3A) we can write (1) as
cos (90° - 3A) = cos (A - 26°)
Since 90° - 3A and A - 26° are both acute angles
90° - 3A = A - 26°
which gives A = 29°

Since
cos²A + sin²A = 1 therefore
cos²A = 1 - sin²A
i.e., cos A = 土 \(\sqrt { 1-{ sin }^{ 2 }A } \)
This gives cos A = \(\sqrt { 1-{ sin }^{ 2 }A } \)
Hence, \(tanA=\frac { sinA }{ cosA } =\frac { sinA }{ \sqrt { { 1-sin }^{ 2 }A } } \)
and \(secA=\frac { 1 }{ cosA } =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 1-{ sin }^{ 2 }A } } \)

No. of balls required \(=\frac { \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 } }{ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \times { \left( \frac { r }{ 4 } \right) }^{ 3 } } \)
\(={ r }^{ 3 }\times \frac { 4 }{ r } \times \frac { 4 }{ r } \times \frac { 4 }{ r } =64\)

Let the tens digits be x. Then the uints digits=\(\frac{18}{x}\)
∴ Number =10x+\(\frac{18}{x}\)
and number obtained by interchanging the digits =10x+\(\frac{18}{x}\)
\(\\ \therefore \left( 10x+\frac { 18 }{ x } \right) -\left( 10\times \frac { 18 }{ x } +x \right) =63\)
\(\Rightarrow 10x+\frac { 18 }{ x } -\frac { 180 }{ x } -x=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 9x-\frac { 162 }{ x } -63=0\)
⇒ 9x²-63x-162=0
⇒ x²-7x-18=0
⇒ (x-9)(x+2)=0⇒ x=9,-2
But a digit can never be (-ve), so x = 9.
So, the required number \(=10\times 9+\frac { 18 }{ 9 } =92\)

Let the length of the side of the chess board be x cm. Then
Area of 64 squares = (x - 4)²
(x - 4)² = 64 x 6.25
⇒ x²-8x+ 16=400
⇒X²- 8x - 384 =0
⇒ X²- 24x + 16x - 384 = 0
⇒(x - 24)(x + 16) = 0
⇒ x=24 cm.

Let the ten's digit of the number be x. It is given that the product of the digits is  12.
Unit's digit \(\frac{12}{x}\)
Number =10x+\(\frac{12}{x}\)
It 36 is added to the number the digits interchange their places.
\(\therefore 10x+\frac { 12 }{ x } +36=10\times \frac { 12 }{ x } +x\)
\(\Rightarrow 10x+\frac { 12 }{ x } +36=\frac { 120 }{ x } +x\)
\(\Rightarrow 9x-\frac { 108 }{ x } +36=0\)
⇒9x² - 108 + 36x = 0
⇒X²+ 4x - 12 = 0
⇒ (x + 6)(x - 2) = 0 (∵ (x + 6) ≠ 0 as x >0)
x=-6,2
But a number can never be (-ve). So, x = 2. The
number is 10x2+\(\frac{12}{2}\)=26

a_n = 3 +2n
a₁ = 3 + 2 = 5
a₂ = 3 + 2 x 2 = 7
a₃ = 3 + 2 x 3 = 9
List of numbers becomes 5, 7, 9, 11,.........
Here, 7 - 5 = 9 - 7 = 11 - 9 = 2 and so on. So, it forms an A.P. with common difference d = 2.
To find S₂₄ we have n = 24, a = 5, d = 2.
S₂₄ = \(\frac{24}{2}\) [2 x 5 + (24 - 1) x ]
= 12 [10 + 46] = 672.
So, sum of first 24 terms of the list of numbers is 672.

Here S₁₄ = 1050
n = 14
a = 10
S_n = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 2(2a + (n -1)d)
1050 = \(\frac{14}{2}\)(20 + 13d)
= 140 + 91d
910 = 91d
d = 10
a₂₀ = 10 + (20 - 1) x 10
= 20
∴ 20th term = 200.

We have
a₃ = a + (3 - 1)d = a + 2d = 5  (1)
a₇ = a + (7 - 1)d = a + 6d = 9 (2)
(1) - (2) ⇒ -4d -4 ⇒ d = 1.
Sub, d = 1 in (1), we get
a + 2(1) = 5
a = 3
Hence the required A.P. is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

-2, 2, -2, 2, -2
t₂ - t₁ = 2-(-2) = 4
t₃ - t₂ = -2 -2 = -4
t₄ - t₃ = 2 - (-2) = 4
It is not an A.P.

f(3) =. 2x - 1
= 2(3) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

A = {1,2,3,4,5}
B = {1,2,3,4, ... }
f: A \(\rightarrow\)B, f(x) = x²
\(\therefore\)  f(1) = 1² = 1
f(2)  = 2²= 4
f(3) = 3² = 9
f(4)  = 4²= 16
f(5) = 5²= 25
\(\therefore\) Range of f = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Elements in A have been connected with different elements in B. Therefore it is one-one function. But not all the elements in B have preimages in A. Therefore it is not on-to function.

Since the given points are collinear, the area a the triangle formed by them must be 0, i.e.,
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [2(k + 3) + 4(-3 - 3) + 6(3 - k)] = 0
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [-4k] = 0
k = 0 
Area of ΔABC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[2(0 + 3) + 4(-3 - 3) + 6(3 - 0)] = 0

We have Area of the quadrilateral

=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [(-12 - 30 - 28 -10) - (+ 10 + 28 + 30 + 12)]
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [-80 - (80)]
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[-160] = -80 = 80 square units.
(∵ Area is always +ve).

\(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \)
For f(1) & f(3)
Since 1 & 3 lies between -5 ≤ x ≤2, We take, f(x) = x +5
f(1) = 1 + 5 = 6
f(-3) = -3 +5 = 2
For f(4): Since 4 lies between 2 < x < 6 We take, f(x) = x -1
f(4) = 4 -1 = 3
For f(-6): Since -6 lies between -7≤ x < -5 ,We take, f(x) = x² + 2x +1
f(-6) = (-6)² + 2(-6) + 1 = 36 -12 + 1 = 24 +1 = 25
Now ,\(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \) =\(\frac{ 4(2) +2(3) }{ 25 - 3(6)}\)
= \(\frac{ 8 + 6 }{ 25 -18}\)
= \(\frac{14 }{ 7}\) = 2
Hence, the value of \(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \) = 2

2f(-4) + 3f(2)
f(-4) = x + 5 = -4 + 5 = 1
2f(-4) = 2 x 1 = 2
f(2) = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7
3f(2) = 3(7) = 21
∴ 2f(-4) + 3f(2) = 2 + 21 = 23

The area of the triangle formed by the vertices A(1, -1), B(-4, 6) and C(-3, -5), by using the formula above, is given by
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[1(6 + 5) +(-4) (-5 + 1) + (-3)(-1 - 6)]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[11 + 16 + 21] = 24 square units.

Let P and Q be the points of trisection at AB.
i.e., AP = PQ = QB

Therefore, P divides AB internally in the ratio 1:2. Therefore, the coordinates at P, by applying the section formula, are
\(\left[ \frac { 1(-7)+2(2) }{ 1+2 } ,\frac { 1(7)+2(-2) }{ 1+2 } \right] \) i.e., (-1,10)
Now, Q also divides AB internally in the ratio 2:1, so, the coordinates at Q are
\(\left[ \frac { 2(-7)+1(2) }{ 2+1 } ,\frac { 2(4)+(-2) }{ 2+1 } \right] \) i.e., (-4,2)
Therefore, the coordinates at the points at trisection of the line segment joining A and B are (-1, 0) and (-4, 2).
