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

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.
Let us assume the opposite, (1) \(\sqrt { 3 } \) is irrational.
Hence \(\sqrt { 3 } =\frac { p }{ q } \)
Where p and q (q ≠ 0) are co-prime (no common factor other than 1)
Hence, \(\sqrt { 3 } =\frac { p }{ q } \)
\(\sqrt { 3 } \)q = p
Squaring both side
\({ (\sqrt { 3 }q ) }^{ 2 }={ p }^{ 2 }\)
3q2 = p2
\({ q }^{ 2 }=\frac { p }{ 3 } \)
Hence, 3 divides p2 So 3 divides p also .....(1)
Hence we can say
\(\frac{p}{3}\) = c where c is some integer
s, p =p2
Putting p = 3c
3q2 = (3c)2
3q2 = 9c2
q2 = \(\frac13\) x 9c2
q2 = 3c2
\(\frac{9^2}{3}\) = c2
Hence 3 divides q2
So, 3 divides q also ...(2)
By (1) and (2) 3 divides both p and q
By contradiction \(\sqrt { 3 } \) is irrational.
7.
Let P(x, y) be equidistant from the points A (7, 1) and B (3, 5).
We are given that AP = BP. So, AP2 = BP2
(x - 7)2 + (y - 1)2 = (x - 3)2 + (y - 5)2
x2- 14x + 49 + y - 2y + 1 = x2- 6x + 9 + y -10y + 25
x - y = 2
Which is the required relation.

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.
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.

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

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.

Seven years ago, let Swathi's age be x years .
Seven years ago, let Varun's age was 5x2 years.
Swathi's present age = x + 7 years
Varun's present age = (5x2 + 7) years
3 years hence, we have
Swathi's age = x + 7 + 3 years
=x + 10 years
Varun's age = 5x2 + 7 + 3 years
= 5x2 + 10 years
It is given that 3 years hence Swathi's age will
be \(\frac{2}{5}\) of Varun's age.
∴ x+10=\(\frac{2}{5}\)(5x2+10)
⇒ x+10=2x2+4
⇒ 2x2-x-6=0
⇒ 2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0
⇒(2x+3)(x-2)=0
⇒ x-2=0
⇒ x=2(∵2x+3≠0 as x>0)
Hence Swathi's present age = (2 + 7) years
= 9 years
Varun's present age = (5 x 22 + 7) years
= 27 years

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.

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).
