\(\bar { x } =\frac { \Sigma x }{ n } =\frac { 75 }{ 5 } \)=15
d'=\(\frac { x-\bar { x } }{ c } =\frac { x-A }{ c } \)
A is assumed mean c is common factor.
Here A= 15, C = 5
σ =\(\sqrt { \left( \frac { \Sigma d'^{ 2 } }{ n } \right) -\left( \frac { \Sigma d' }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x c

=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x 5

9x2-9(a+b)x+(2a2+5ab+2b2)=0
Comparing this with ax2 + bx + c = O.
a =9
b = -9(a + b)
c = (2a2 + 5ab + 2b2)
∴ ∆=B2-4AC
⇒ 81(a+b)2-36(2a2+5ab+2b2)
⇒ 9a2 + 9b2 - 18ab
⇒ 9(a - b)2> 0
∴ the roots are real and given by
\(\beta =\frac { -B-\sqrt { D } }{ 2A } =\frac { 9(a+b)+3(a-b) }{ 18 } \)
\(=\frac { 12a+6b }{ 18 } =\frac { 2a+b }{ 3 } \)
\(\beta =\frac { -B-\sqrt { D } }{ 2A } =\frac { 9(a+b)+3(a-b) }{ 18 } \)
\(=\frac { 6a+12b }{ 18 } =\frac { a+2b }{ 3 } \)
6.
Since 12576 > 4052 we apply the division lemma to 12576 and 4052, to get
12576 = 4052 x 3 + 420.
Since the remainder 420 ≠ 0, we apply the division lemma to 4052
4052 = 420 x 9 + 272.
We consider the new divisor 420 and the new remainder 272 and apply the division lemma to get
420 = 272 x 1 + 148, 148 ≠ 0
∴ Again by division lemma
272 = 148 x 1 + 124, here 124 ≠ 0
∴ Again by division lemma
148 = 124 x 1 + 24, Here 24 ≠ 0
∴ Again by division lemma
124 = 24 x 5 + 4, Here 4 ≠ 0
∴ Again by division lemma
24 = 4 x 6 + 0.
The remainder has now become zero. So our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4.
∴ The HCF of 12576 and 4052 is 4.

Let A(1, 7), B(4, 2), C(-1, -1) and D(-4, 4) be the given paints. One way at showing that ABCD is a square is to use the property that all its sides should be equal and both its diagonals should be equal.
Now,
AB = \(\sqrt { (1-4)^{ 2 }+(7-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 9+25 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
BC = \(\\ \sqrt { (4+1)^{ 2 }+(2+1)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 25+9 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
CD = \(\sqrt { (-1+4)^{ 2 }+(-1-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 9+25 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
DA =\(\sqrt { (1+4)^{ 2 }+(7-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 25+9 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
AC = \(\sqrt { (1+1)^{ 2 }+(7+1)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 4+64 } =\sqrt { 68 } \)
BD = \(\\ \sqrt { (4+4)^{ 2 }+(2-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 64+4 } =\sqrt { 68 } \)
Since, AB = BC = CD = DA and AC = BD, all the four sides at the quadrilateral ABCD are equal and its diagonals AC and BD are also equal. Therefore, ABCD is a square.
8.

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.
9.
cot 85° + cos 75°
= cot(90° - 5°) + cos(90° - 15°)
= tan 5° + sin 15°
10.

We are given a right triangle ABC right angled at B.
We need to prove that AC2 = AB2 + BC2
Let us draw \(BD\bot AC\)
Now,\(\Delta ADB\sim \Delta ABC\)
\(\cfrac { AD }{ DB } =\cfrac { BC }{ AC } \)
(sides are proportional)
Also,
\(\Delta BDC\sim \Delta ABC\)
\(\cfrac { CD }{ BC } =\cfrac { BC }{ AC } \)
CD·AC = BC2 ..(2)
Adding (1) and (2)
AD .AC + CD . AC = AB2+ BC2
AC(AD + CD) = AB2 + BC2
AC.AC = AB2 + BC2
AC = AB2 + BC2
11.
We know:
cot A = tan(90o - A)
So,
cot 25° = tan (90° - 25°) = tan 65°
\(\frac { tan{ 65 }^{ o } }{ tan{ 25 }^{ o } } \) = \(\frac { tan{ 65 }^{ o } }{ tan{ 25 }^{ o } } \) = 1
12.
Radius of the cylinder be r
Height of the cylinder be h
Total surface area of the article
= CSA of cylinder + CSA of 2 hemispheres
= 2ㅠrh + 2πr2 = 2πr(h + 2r)
\(=2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 3.5\times (10+2\times 3.5)\)
= 22 x 17 = 374 cm2
13.
σ = 21.2, \(\bar { x } \) = 36.6
CV = \(\frac { \sigma }{ \bar { x } } \) x 100 = \(\frac { 21.2 }{ 36.6 } \) x 100 = 57.92%
14.
No. of coins required \(=\frac{Volume\ of\ the\ cylinder}{Volume\ of\ 1\ coin}\)
\(=\frac { \pi { r }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }{ h }_{ 1 } }{ \pi { r }_{ 2 }^{ 2 }{ h }_{ 2 } } =\frac { \pi \times \frac { 42 }{ 20 } \times \frac { 45 }{ 20 } \times 10 }{ \pi \times \frac { 15 }{ 20 } \times \frac { 15 }{ 20 } \times \frac { 2 }{ 10 } } \)
= 450
15.
Mean \(\bar { x } \) = \(\frac { 16+13+17+21+18 }{ 5 } =\frac { 85 }{ 5 } \) = 17
| x | d = x - 17 | d2 |
| 16 | -1 | 1 |
| 13 | -4 | 16 |
| 17 | 0 | 0 |
| 21 | 4 | 16 |
| 18 | 1 | 1 |
| Σd = 0 | Σd2 = 34 |
σ =\(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma d^{ 2 } }{ n } } =\sqrt { \frac { 34 }{ 5 } } =\sqrt { 638 } \)
σ = 2.61
Co-efficient of variation
CV = \(\frac { \sigma }{ \bar { x } } \) x 100 = \(\frac { 2.61 }{ 17 } \) x 100
= 15.35%
16.
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 \(=10\times 9+\frac { 18 }{ 9 } =92\)
17.
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
18.
Here a = 24, d = 21-24 = -3, Sn = 78. We need to find n.
We know that,
Sn= \(\frac{n}{2}\) (2a + (n - 1)d)
78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 48 + (n -1)(-3))
78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 2(51-3n)
or 3n2 - 51n + 156 = 0
n2 -17n + 52 = 0
(n - 4)(n - 13) = 0
n = 4 or 13
The number of terms are 4 or 13.
19.
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.
20.
R = {(a, -2), (-5, b), (8, c), (d, -1)} represents the identity function.
a = -2, b = -5, c = 8, d = -1.
21.
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.
22.
The area of the triangle formed by the given points is equal to
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [-1.5 (-2 - 4) + 6 (4 - 3) + (-3) (3 + 2)]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [9 + 6 - 15] = 0
We can have a triangle at area 0 square units? What does this mean?
If the area of a triangle is 0 square units, then its vertices will be collinear.
23.
We know that diagonals at a parallelogram bisect each other.
So, the coordinates of the mid-point at AC = coordinates of the mid-point at BD.
i.e., \(\left[ \frac { 6+9 }{ 2 } ,\frac { 1+4 }{ 2 } \right] =\left[ \frac { 8+P }{ 2 } ,\frac { 2+3 }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\left[ \frac { 15 }{ 2 } ,\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \right] =\left[ \frac { 8+P }{ 2 } ,\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\frac { 15 }{ 2 } =\frac { 8+P }{ 2 } \)
P = 7
