(corresponding angles of similar triangles)
3.
| 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\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
S.D. doesn't change when a number is added or subtracted to the values.
4.
x + y + z = 6 ....(1)
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
5.
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.
6.
It is not a function as the vertical line PQ cuts the graph at two points
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.

8.
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)]
9.
cot 85° + cos 75°
= cot(90° - 5°) + cos(90° - 15°)
= tan 5° + sin 15°
10.
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
11.
We are given that sin 3A = cos (A - 26°) ...(1)
Since sin 3A = cos(90° - 3A) we can write (1) as
cos (90° - 3A) = cos (A - 26°)
Since 90° - 3A and A - 26° are both acute angles
90° - 3A = A - 26°
which gives A = 29°
12.
No. of balls required \(=\frac { \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 } }{ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \times { \left( \frac { r }{ 4 } \right) }^{ 3 } } \)
\(={ r }^{ 3 }\times \frac { 4 }{ r } \times \frac { 4 }{ r } \times \frac { 4 }{ r } =64\)
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 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.
-2, 2, -2, 2, -2
t2 - t1 = 2-(-2) = 4
t3 - t2 = -2 -2 = -4
t4 - t3 = 2 - (-2) = 4
It is not an A.P.
20.
R = {(a, -2), (-5, b), (8, c), (d, -1)} represents the identity function.
a = -2, b = -5, c = 8, d = -1.
21.
We have Area of the quadrilateral

=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [(-12 - 30 - 28 -10) - (+ 10 + 28 + 30 + 12)]
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [-80 - (80)]
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[-160] = -80 = 80 square units.
(∵ Area is always +ve).
22.

2f(-4) + 3f(2)
f(-4) = x + 5 = -4 + 5 = 1
2f(-4) = 2 x 1 = 2
f(2) = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7
3f(2) = 3(7) = 21
∴ 2f(-4) + 3f(2) = 2 + 21 = 23
23.
The area of the triangle formed by the vertices A(1, -1), B(-4, 6) and C(-3, -5), by using the formula above, is given by
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[1(6 + 5) +(-4) (-5 + 1) + (-3)(-1 - 6)]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[11 + 16 + 21] = 24 square units.
