(i) To check if h is one – one, we assume that h(b1) = h(b2)
Then we get 2.47b1 + 54.10 = 2.47 b2 + 54.10
2.47b1 = 2.47b2 ⇒ b1 = b2
Thus, h(b1) = h(b2) ⇒ b1 = b2, So, the function h is one – one.
(ii) If the length of the thigh bone b = 50, then the height is
h(50) = (2.47 x 50) + 54.10 = 177.6 cms
(iii) If the height of a person is 147.96 cms, then h(b) =147.96 and so the length of the thigh bone is given by 2.47b + 54.10 = 147.96.
b = \(\frac { 93.86 }{ 2.47 } \)
Therefore, the length of the thigh bone is 38 cms.

Since A and B are mutually exclusive events
\(P(A \cap B)=0\)
\(
\mathrm{P}(\text { either } \mathrm{A} \text { or } \mathrm{B}) =\mathrm{P}(A \cup B)
\)
\(\mathrm{P}(A \cup B) =\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{P}(A \cap B)
\)
\(\mathrm{P}(A \cup B) =0.5+0.3-0=0.8\)
P(neither A nor B) = \(\mathrm{P}(\overline{A \cup B})\)
\(\mathrm{P} \overline{(A \cup B)}=1-\mathrm{P}(A \cup B)=1-0.8=0.2\)

α + β = \(\frac {-b}{a} = \frac {-(-13)}{1}\) = 13 ...... (1) also α - β = 17 ......(2)
(1) + (2) we get, 2α = 30 gives α = 15
Therefore, 15 + β = 13 (from (1)) gives β = -2
But, αβ = \(\frac {c}{a} = \frac {k}{1}\) gives 15 x (-2) = k we get, k = -30

From the right triangle \(\triangle\) ABC
\(
\therefore \tan 30^{\circ} =\frac{B C}{A B}
\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{x}

Since the tangents at a point to a circle is
perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact
\(\therefore \angle O P O^{\prime}=90^{\circ}\)
OP2 + OP2 = (OO')2
[By Pythagoras theorem]
32 + 42 = (OO')2
9+16 = (OO')2
25 = (OO')2
OO' = 5cm
Since the line joining the centres of two intersecting circles is perpendicular bisector of their common chord.
\(\mathrm{OR} \perp \mathrm{PQ} \text { and } O^{\prime} \mathrm{R} \perp \mathrm{PQ}\)
AIso PR = QR
Let OR = x, then O'R = 5 - x
AIso at PR = QR = y cm
\(\text { In } \triangle O R P \text { and } \Delta O^{\prime} R P\)
Applying Pythagoras theorem
OP2 = OR3 + RP2 and O'P'2 = O'R2 + RP2
\(3^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2} and 4^{2}=(5-x)^{2}+y_{i}^{2} \)
\(Subtracting \Rightarrow 4^{2}-3^{2}=\left\{(5-x)^{2}+y^{2}\right\}-\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right) \)
\(16-9=25-10 x+x^{2}+y^{2}-x^{2}-y^{2} \)
7 - 25 = 10x
10x = 25 - 7
10x = 18
x = 1.8 cm
32 = x2 + y2
\(y=\sqrt{9-(1.8)^{2}}=\sqrt{5.76}\)
y = 2.4cm
Hence PR = QR = 2.4 cm
PQ = 2y = 4.8 cm

Since A x A has 9 elements,
A would have 3 elements
A x A contains (- 1, 0) and (0, 1)

So, 0,1 \(\in \) A
From (1) and (2). = -1, 0, 1 \(\in \) A
A = {-1, 0 , 1}
A x A = {-1, 0, 1} x {1, 0, -1}

Let r and h be the radius and height of the cone respectively.
Given that, volume of the cone = 11088 cm3
\(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } { \pi r }^{ 2 }h=11088\)
\(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { r }^{ 2 }\times 24=11088\)
\({ r }^{ 2 }=441\)
Therefore, radius of the cone r = 21 cm.

Distance between the insect and the foot of the lamp post BD = 8 m
The height of the lamp post, AB = 6 m
After moving a distance of x m, let the insect be at C
Let, AC = CD = x . Then BC = BD − CD = 8 − x
In \(\triangle\)ABC, \(\angle\)B = 90o
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 gives x2 = 62 + (8 - x)2
x2 = 36 + 64 − 16x + x2
16x = 100 then x = 6.25
Then, BC = 8 − x = 8 − 6.25 = 1.75m
Therefore the insect is 1.75 m away from the foot of the lamp post.

We have AB = 56.cm, AD = 14. cm, AC = 72. cm and AE = 18.cm.
BD = AB - AD = 5.6 –1.4 = 4.2 cm
and EC = AC – AE = 7.2–1.8 = 5.4 cm
\(\frac { AD }{ DB } =\frac { 1.4 }{ 4.2 } =\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) and \(\frac { AE }{ EC } =\frac { 1.8 }{ 5.4 } =\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
\(\frac { AD }{ DB } =\frac { AE }{ EC } \)
Therefore, by converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem, we have DE is parallel to BC. Hence proved.

For n > 3 an = 2an - 1 + an - 2
When n = 3 a3 = 2a(3 - 1) + a(3 - 2) = 2a2 + a1
a3 = 2 + 1 = 3
When n = 4 a4 = 2a(4-1) + a(4-2) = 2a3 + a1
a4 = 2 x 3 + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
When n = 5 a5 = 2a(5-1) + a(5-2) = 2a4 + a3
a5 = 2 x 7 + 3 = 14 + 3 = 17
When n = 6 a6 = 2a(6-1) + a(6-2) = 2a5 + a4
a6 = 2 x 17+ 7 = 34 + 7 = 41
The first six terms of the sequence are 1, 1, 3, 7, 17, 41, ....

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

A ⋂ B refers to a card is both spade and heart. It is not possible

A, B are exclusive events.

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 \(=10\times 9+\frac { 18 }{ 9 } =92\)

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.

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 ,\(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \) =\(\frac{ 4(2) +2(3) }{ 25 - 3(6)}\)

\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{x}{12+x} \)
(ii) If 8 more red balls are put in the bag then the number of red balls = x + 8
Total number of balls = 12 + x + 8
Probability of drawing a red ball
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}) =\frac{n(B)}{n(S)} \)
\(=\frac{x+8}{12+x+8}=\frac{x+8}{x+20} \)
If the probability of drawing a red ball will be twice that of the probability (i), then
\(\frac{x+8}{x+20}=2 \times\left[\frac{x}{12+x}\right]\)
(x + 8)(12 + x) = 2x (x + 20)
12x + 96 + x2 + 8x = 2x2 + 40x
2x2 - x2 + 40x - 12x - 8x - 96 = 0
x2 + 20x - 96 = 0
(x - 4) (x + 24) = 0
x = 4 and x = - 24 (not possible)

\(y=\frac{5}{13} \)
Substituting in (1) \(\Rightarrow \ 4 x+7\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)=3 \)
\(x=\frac{1}{13}\)
The point intersection of (1) and (2) is \(\left(\frac{1}{13}, \frac{5}{13}\right)\)
Given that the line has equal intercepts on the axes.
i.e., a = b
Now, intercept form of the line is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{a}=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{a}\)
This passes through \(\left(\frac{1}{13}, \frac{5}{13}\right)\)
\( \Rightarrow \ \frac{1}{13}+\frac{5}{13} =a \Rightarrow a=\frac{6}{13} \)
\(\therefore \ b =\frac{6}{13} \)

Hence, C.S.A of the cone when rotates about PQ is larger.

In \(\triangle\) ABC we have DE || BC.
By Thales theorem, we have \(\frac { AD }{ DB } =\frac { AE }{ EC } \)
\(\frac { x }{ x-2 } =\frac { x+2 }{ x-1 } \) gives x(x - 1) = (x - 2)(x + 2)
When x = 4, AD = 4, DB = x - 2, AE + x + 2 = 6, EC = x - 1 = 3
Hence, AB = AD + DB = 4 + 2 = 6, AC = AE + EC = 6 + 3 = 9
Therefore, AB = 6, AC = 9

Given, radius = 4 cm
Construction
Step 1 : With O as the centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm.
Step 2 : Take a point L on the circle. Through L draw any chord LM.
Step 3 : Take a point M distinct from L and N on the circle, so that L, M and N are in anti clockwise direction. Join LN and NM.
Step 4 : Through L draw a tangent TT' such that \(\angle\)TLM =\(\angle\)MNL
Step 5 : TT' is the required tangent.

Construction:
Steps (1) Draw a line segment BC = 5.6 cm
Steps (2) At B, draw BE such that \(\angle CBE={ 60 }^{ 0 }\)
Steps (3) At B draw BF such that \(\angle EBF={ 90 }^{ 0 }\)
Steps (4) Drawn the perpendicular bisector to BC, which intersects BF at O and BC at G.
Steps (5) With O as centre and OB as radius draw a circle
Steps (6) From B, marked an arc of 4 cm on BC at D.
Steps (7) The perpendicular bisector intersects the circle at I. Joined ID.
Steps (8) ID produced meets the circle at A. Now joined AB and AC. Then \(\triangle\)ABC is the required triangle.
