34.
1.
In ABC, tan A = \(\frac{BC}{AB}\) = 1
BC = AB
Let AB = BC = k, where k is a positive number
Now, AC = \(\sqrt { { AB }^{ 2 }+{ BC }^{ 2 } } \)
= \(\sqrt { { (k) }^{ 2 }+{ (k) }^{ 2 } } =k\sqrt { 2 } \)
Therefore,
\(sinA=\frac { BC }{ AC } =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \) and
\(cosA=\frac { AB }{ Ac } =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \)
So, \(2sinAcosA=2\left[ \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \right] \left[ \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \right] =1\), which is the required value
2.
Clearly bucket forms frustum of a cone such that the radii of its circular ends are r1 = 28 cm, r2 = 7 cm, h = 45 cm
Capacity of the bucket = volume of the frustum
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \pi h[{ r }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }+{ r }_{ 2 }^{ 2 }+{ r }_{ 1 }{ r }_{ 2 }]\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 45[{ 28 }^{ 2 }+{ 7 }^{ 2 }+28\times 7)]\)
= 22 x 15 x (28 x 4 + 7 + 28)
\(\Rightarrow 330\times 147{ cm }^{ 2 }\Rightarrow 48510{ cm }^{ 2 }\)

\(\frac { (k-12) }{ a } { x }^{ 2 }+\frac { 2(k-12) }{ b } x+\frac { 2 }{ c } =0\)
D2 = b2- 4ac = (2(k - 12))2 - 4(k - 12)(2)
= 4(k - 12)[(k - 12) - 2]
= 4(k-12)(k- 14)
The given equation will have equal roots, if D = 0
⇒ 4(k-12)(k-14) 0
k - 12 = 0 or k - 14 0
k 12, 14
7.
We have 6 = 21 x 31 and
20 = 2 x 2 x 5 = 22 x 51
You can find HCF (6, 20) = 2 and LCM (6, 20) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60.
As done in your earlier classes. Note that HCF (6, 20) = 21 = product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.
LCM (6, 20) = 22 x 31 x 51 = 60.
= Product of the greatest power of each prime factor, involved in the numbers.
8.
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.
9.

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) \(\Rightarrow { AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 9 }{ 16 } { BC }^{ 2 }-\cfrac { 1 }{ 16 } { BC }\)
\(\Rightarrow { AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } { BC }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow { AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } BC{ 2 }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow 2({ AB }^{ 2 }-{ AC }^{ 2 })={ BC }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow { 2AB }^{ 2 }=2{ AC }^{ 2 }+{ BC }^{ 2 }\)
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.
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
12.
Since, sin(A - B) = \(\frac12\), ∴ A-B = 30° ..... (1)
Also, since cos (A + B) = \(\frac12\)
∴ A + B = 60° ...(2)
Solving (1) and (2)
A - B + A + B = 30o + 60o
2A = 90o
A = 45o
We get,
A = 45° and B = 15°
13.
No. of balls required \(=\frac { \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 } }{ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \times { \left( \frac { r }{ 4 } \right) }^{ 3 } } \)
\(={ r }^{ 3 }\times \frac { 4 }{ r } \times \frac { 4 }{ r } \times \frac { 4 }{ r } =64\)
14.
Total number of cards = 52
Event of selecting a spade card = A
Event of selecting a heart card = B
n(A) = 13, n(B) = 13
P(A) =\(\frac { 13 }{ 52 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \), P(B) =\(\frac { 13 }{ 52 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \).
A ⋂ B refers to a card is both spade and heart. It is not possible

A, B are exclusive events.
P(A,B) = P(A) + P(B) =\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } +\frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \).
15.
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
16.
CV =\(\frac { \sigma }{ \bar { x } } \) x 100 ⇒ \(\bar { x } =\frac { \sigma }{ CV } \) x 100
\(\bar { x } =\frac { 15.6 }{ 6.9 } \) x 100 = 22.6
17.
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.
18.
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.
19.
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.
20.
The number of rose plants in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, . . . rows are
23,21, 19, ... 5
It forms an A.P.
Let the number of rows in the flower bed be n.
Then a = 23, d = 21 - 23 = -2/a = 5.
As, an = a + (n - 1)d i.e. tn = a + (n - 1)d
We have 5 = 23 + (n - 1)(-2)
i.e. -18 = (n - 1)(-2)
n = 10
ஃ There are 10 rows in the flower bed.
21.
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
22.
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
23.
\(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \)
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
24.
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
