Given XY IIA C

So,

\(\therefore \Delta ABC\sim \Delta XbY\) (AAA similarity criterion)
So, \(\cfrac { ar(ABC) }{ ar(XBY) } =\left( \cfrac { AB }{ XB } \right) ^{ 2 }\) ...(1)
ar(ABC) = 2ar(XBY)
\(\cfrac { ar(ABC) }{ ar(ABC) } =\cfrac { 2 }{ 1 } \) ...(2)
From (1) and (2),
\(\left( \cfrac { AB }{ XB } \right) ^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 2 }{ 1 } i.e.,\cfrac { AB }{ XB } =\cfrac { \sqrt { 2 } }{ 1 } \)
\(\cfrac { XB }{ AB } =\cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \)
\(1-\frac{X B}{A B}=1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(\cfrac { AB-XB }{ AB } =\cfrac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \)
\(\cfrac { AX }{ AB } =\cfrac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } =\cfrac { 2-\sqrt { 2 } }{ 2 } \)
3.
Let assumed mean A = 30
C = 5
| x | d' = \(\frac { x-30 }{ 5 } \) | d'2 |
| 20 | -2 | 4 |
| 25 | -1 | 1 |
| 30 | 0 | 0 |
| 35 | 1 | 1 |
| 40 | 2 | 4 |
| Σd' = 0 | 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\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
To convert the values for 100, all the values will be multiplied by 2. Therefore the new values are 40, 50, 60, 70, 80.
Let A = 60, C = 10
| x | d' = \(\frac { x-60 }{ 10 } \) | d'2 |
| 40 | -2 | 4 |
| 50 | -1 | 1 |
| 60 | 0 | 0 |
| 70 | 1 | 1 |
| 80 | 2 | 4 |
σ =\(\sqrt { \left( \frac { \Sigma d'^{ 2 } }{ n } \right) -\left( \frac { \Sigma d' }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x 10
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x 10
= 10\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
S.D. also be multiplied by 2. It is also true for the division also.

5.
D= b2-4ac
⇒ 4(ac + bd)2 - 4(a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)
⇒ 4[(ac + bd)2 - (a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)]
⇒ 4(a2c2 + b2d2 + 2acbd - a2c2b2c2 - a2d2 - b2d2]
⇒ 4[2acbd - a2d2 - b2c2]
⇒ 4[a2d2 + b2c2 - 2adbc]
⇒-4[ ad - bc]2
We have ad≠ bc
∴ ad- be of 0
⇒ (ad - bc)2 > 0
⇒ 4(ad - bc)2 < 0 ⇒ D < 0
Hence the given equation has no real roots.
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.
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.
8.

We have DB = 3 CD.
BC = BD + DC
BC = 3CD + CD
BC = 4CD
\(CD=\cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } BC\)
\(CD=\cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } BC\)
\(BD=3cD=\cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } BC\)
Since \(\Delta ABD\) is a right triangle (i) right angled at D.
AB2 = AD2 + BD2
By \(\Delta ACD\) is a right triangle right angled at D
AC2 = AD2 + CD2
Subtracting equation (iii) from equation (ii), we got
AB2 - AC2 = BD2 - CD2
\(\Rightarrow { AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 }=\left( \cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } BC \right) ^{ 2 }-\left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } BC \right) ^{ 2 }\)
\((from \ CD=\cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } BC,BD=\cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } BC)\)
(i) \(\Rightarrow { AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 9 }{ 16 } { BC }^{ 2 }-\cfrac { 1 }{ 16 } { BC }\)
\(\Rightarrow { AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } { BC }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow { AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } BC{ 2 }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow 2({ AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 })={ BC }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow { 2AB }^{ 2 }=2{ AC }^{ 2 }+{ BC }^{ 2 }\)
9.
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
10.
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
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.
No. of balls required \(=\frac { \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 } }{ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \times { \left( \frac { r }{ 4 } \right) }^{ 3 } } \)

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

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

Let a natural number be x.
The next number = x + 1
x (x + 1) = 20
X2+x-20 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 4) = 0
x=-5,4
∴ x=4
(∵ x≠-5, x is a natural number
The next number = 4 + 1= 5
Two consecutive numbers are 4,5.

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.
18.
an = 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.
19.
1,-1,-3, -5, ...
t2 - t1 = -1 - 1 = -2
t3 - t2 = -3 - (-1)= -2
t4 - t3 = -5 - (-3) = -2
The given list of numbers form an A.P with the common difference -2.
The next two terms are (-5 + (-2)) = -7, -7 + (-2) = -9.
20.
A = {5, 6, 8, to}, B = {19, 15,9, 11}
f(x) = 2x - 1
f(5) = 2(5) - 1 = 9
f(8) = 2(5)-1 = 15
\(\therefore\) a = 9; b = 15
21.
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
22.
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.
23.
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).
