| x | d' = \(\frac { x-15 }{ 5 } \) | d'2 |
| 5 | -2 | 4 |
| 10 | -1 | 1 |
| 15 | 0 | 0 |
| 20 | 1 | 1 |
| 25 | 2 | 4 |
| Σd = 0 | Σd'2 = 10 |
\(\bar { x } =\frac { \Sigma x }{ n } =\frac { 75 }{ 5 } \)=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
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x 5
= 5\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
If 3 is added to each value, we get 8, 13, 18,23, 28 as new values.
| x | d' = \(\frac { x-18 }{ 5 } \) | d'2 |
| 8 | -2 | 4 |
| 13 | -1 | 1 |
| 18 | 0 | 0 |
| 23 | 1 | 1 |
| 28 | 2 | 4 |
| Σd' = 10 | Σd'2 = 10 |
∴ σ =\(\sqrt { \left( \frac { \Sigma d'^{ 2 } }{ n } \right) -\left( \frac { \Sigma d' }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x 5
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x 5
= 5\(\sqrt { 2 } \)

2x + 3y + 4z = 20 ...(2)
3x + 2y + 5z = 22 ....(3)
Sub. z = 3 in (5) ⇒ y - 2(3) =-4
y=2
Sub. y = 2, z = 3 in (1), we get
x+2+3=6
x=1
x= 1,y = 2, z = 3
6.
Let us start with taking a, where a is a +ve odd integer.
We apply the division algorithm with 'a' and 'b' = 4.
Since 0 ≤ r < 4, the possible remainders are 0,1,2,3.
That is, a can be 4q, or 4q + 1, or 4q + 2 or 4q + 3, where 1 is the quotient. However, since a is odd, a cannot be 4q or 4q + 2 (since they are both divisible by 2).
Any odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3
7.
By joining B to D, you will get too triangles ABD and BCD.
Now, the area of ΔABD
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[ -5(-5 - 5) + (-4)(5 -7) + 4(7 + 5)]
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)(50 + 8 + 48)
=\(\frac { 106 }{ 2 } \) = 53 square units.
Also, the area of ΔBCD
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) = [-4(-6 - 5) - 1(5 + 5) + 4(-5 + 6)]
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)(44 - 10 + 4)
= 19 square units.
So, the area of quadrilateral ABCD
= 53 + 19 = 72 square units.

Through O, draw PQIIBC so that P lies on AB and Q lies on DC
Now, PQ II BC
\(PQ\bot AB\quad PQ\bot OC\)
\(\left( \because \angle B={ 90 }^{ 0 }and\angle C={ 90 }^{ 0 } \right) \)
So, \(\angle BPQ={ 90 }^{ 0 }\quad \angle CQP={ 90 }^{ 0 }\)
Therefore BPQC and APQD are both rectangles. Now from \(\Delta OPB\)
OB2 = BP2 + OP2
Similarly from \(\Delta OQD\)
OD2 = OQ2 + DQ2
From \(\Delta OQC\)
OC2 = OQ2 + CQ2
\(\Delta OAP\) we have
OA2 = AP2 +OP2
Adding (1) and (2)
OB2 + OD2 = BP2 + OP2 + OQ2 + DQ2
(As BP = CQ and DQ = AP)
= CQ2 + OP2 + OQ2 + AP2
= CQ2 + OQ2 + OP2 + AP2
= OC2+ OA
[From (3) and (4)]
10.
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 = 30o
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 = 45o
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
11.
From \(\Delta ADC\) we have
AC2 = AD2 + CD2 ....(1)
(Pythagoras theorem)
From \(\Delta ADB\) we have
AB2 = AD2 + BD2 ...(2)
(Pythagoras theorem)
Subtracting (1) from (2) we have,
AB2 - AC2 = BD2 - CD2
AB2 + CD2 = BD2 + AC2
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.
Volume of a cylinder \(=\pi { r }^{ 2 }h\)
Volume of a cone \(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 2 }h\)
Volume of a sphere \(=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }\)
Their ratio V1 : V2 : V3
\(h:\frac { h }{ 3 } :\frac { 4r }{ 3 } \)
3h: h: 4r
3h : h : 2(2r) (where 2r = h)
∴ V1 : V2 : V3 = 3: 1 : 2
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 numbers be ∝, β
Sum of the roots = ∝ + β = 15 ...(1)
\(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } +\frac { 1 }{ \beta } =\frac { 3 }{ 10 } \quad \quad \quad ...(2)\)
\(\\ \frac { +\alpha }{ \alpha \beta } =\frac { 3 }{ 10 } \)
10(∝+ β)= 3∝β ....(3)
30∝β=10x15=150
Products of the roots =∝β=50 ....(4)
∴ From (1) & (4), we have
x2-15x+50=0
(x-10)(x-5)=0⇒x=10,5
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.

If A(-2, -1), B(a, 0), C(4, b) and D(1, 2) are the vertices of a parallelogram, find the values of a and b.
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Therefore the co-ordinates of the midpoint of AC are same as the co-ordinates of the mid-point of BD. i.e.
\(\left( \frac { -2+4 }{ 2 } ,\frac { -1+b }{ 2 } \right) =\left( \frac { a+1 }{ 2 } ,\frac { 0+2 }{ 2 } \right) \)
⇒ \(\left( 1,\frac { b-1 }{ 2 } \right) =\left( \frac { a+1 }{ 2 } ,1 \right) \)
⇒ \(\frac { a+1 }{ 2 } \) = 1 ⇒ a + 1 = 2 ⇒ a = 1
⇒ \(\frac { b-1 }{ 2 } \) = 1 ⇒ b - 1 = 2 ⇒ b = 3
21.
It is both one-one and onto function

All the elements in A have their separate images in B. All the elements in B have their preimage in A. Therefore it is one-one and onto function.

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).
