So,

\(\therefore \Delta ABC\sim \Delta XbY\) (AAA similarity criterion)

ar(ABC) = 2ar(XBY)
\(\cfrac { ar(ABC) }{ ar(ABC) } =\cfrac { 2 }{ 1 } \) ...(2)

\(\left( \cfrac { AB }{ XB } \right) ^{ 2 }=\cfrac { 2 }{ 1 } i.e.,\cfrac { AB }{ XB } =\cfrac { \sqrt { 2 } }{ 1 } \)
\(\cfrac { XB }{ AB } =\cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \)
\(1-\frac{X B}{A B}=1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(\cfrac { AB-XB }{ AB } =\cfrac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \)
\(\cfrac { AX }{ AB } =\cfrac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } =\cfrac { 2-\sqrt { 2 } }{ 2 } \)

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.
7.
| 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.
8.
A table

|---|---|---|---|---|
| f(x) | 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 |
9.
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
\(\beta =\frac { -B-\sqrt { D } }{ 2A } =\frac { 9(a+b)+3(a-b) }{ 18 } \)
\(=\frac { 12a+6b }{ 18 } =\frac { 2a+b }{ 3 } \)
\(\beta =\frac { -B-\sqrt { D } }{ 2A } =\frac { 9(a+b)+3(a-b) }{ 18 } \)
\(=\frac { 6a+12b }{ 18 } =\frac { a+2b }{ 3 } \)
10.
p2x2 + (P2 -Comparing this with ax' + bx + c = 0, we have
a=p2
b=p2-q2
c =-q2
D = b2-4ac
= (P2-q2)-4xp2x-q2
= (P2-q2)2+ 4p2 q2
= (P2+q2)2>0
So, the given equation has real roots given by
\(\alpha =\frac { -b-\sqrt { D } }{ 2a } =\frac { -({ p }^{ 2 }-{ q }^{ 2 })+({ p }^{ 2 }+{ q }^{ 2 }) }{ { 2p }^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\frac { { q }^{ 2 } }{ { p }^{ 2 } } \)
\(\beta =\frac { -b-\sqrt { D } }{ 2a } =\frac { -({ p }^{ 2 }-{ q }^{ 2 })+({ p }^{ 2 }+{ q }^{ 2 }) }{ { 2p }^{ 2 } } \)
=-1
11.
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.
12.
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.
13.
Let A(1, 7), B(4, 2), C(-1, -1) and D(-4, 4) be the given paints. One way at showing that ABCD is a square is to use the property that all its sides should be equal and both its diagonals should be equal.
Now,
AB = \(\sqrt { (1-4)^{ 2 }+(7-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 9+25 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
BC = \(\\ \sqrt { (4+1)^{ 2 }+(2+1)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 25+9 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
CD = \(\sqrt { (-1+4)^{ 2 }+(-1-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 9+25 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
DA =\(\sqrt { (1+4)^{ 2 }+(7-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 25+9 } =\sqrt { 34 } \)
AC = \(\sqrt { (1+1)^{ 2 }+(7+1)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 4+64 } =\sqrt { 68 } \)
BD = \(\\ \sqrt { (4+4)^{ 2 }+(2-4)^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 64+4 } =\sqrt { 68 } \)
Since, AB = BC = CD = DA and AC = BD, all the four sides at the quadrilateral ABCD are equal and its diagonals AC and BD are also equal. Therefore, ABCD is a square.

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.

51 + 52 + 53 + ... + 92: (1 + 2 + 3 + ...+ 92) - (1 + 2 +...+ 50)
\(=\frac{92 \times(92+1)}{2}-\frac{50 \times(50+1)}{2}
\)
\(=\frac{92 \times 93}{2}-\frac{50 \times 51}{2}
\)
= 4278 - 1275 = 3003
51 + 52 + 53 +...+ 92 = 3003

\(\frac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ x-y } +\frac { { y }^{ 3 } }{ y-x } =\frac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ x-y } -\frac { { y }^{ 3 } }{ y-x } =\frac { { x }^{ 3 }-{ y }^{ 3 } }{ (x-y) } \)
\(=\frac { (x-y)\left( { x }^{ 2 }+xy+{ y }^{ 2 } \right) }{ x-y } \)

Let AB = x be the distance between foot of the house and the observer at the median of the road.
DB = 2x is the width of the road.
Height of the house BC = \(4 \sqrt{3} m\)
From the right triangle \(\triangle\) ABC
\(
\therefore \tan 30^{\circ} =\frac{B C}{A B}
\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{x}
\)
\(x =4 \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}=4 \times 3=12 \mathrm{~m}

(or) Comparing with ax + by + c = 0
\(\text { Slope } =-\frac{a}{b} \)
\(=-\frac{0}{5}=0 \)
23.
Slope of a line passing through (- 2,3) and (8, 5) is
\(\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}=\frac{3-5}{-2-8}=\frac{-2}{-10}=\frac{1}{5}=m_{1}\)
Slope of the line y = ax + 2 is 'a' = m2
Given that the lines are perpendicular
\(m_{1} \times m_{2} =-1 \)
\(\frac{1}{5} \times a =-1 \)
a = -5

Range R = 13.67
Largest value L = 70.08
Range R = L - S

Therefore, the smallest value is 56.41

Given C(t) = 3t
To prove that C(t) is linear
Now, C(at1) = 3at1 and C(bt2) = 3bt2
C(at1) +C(bt2) = 3at1 + 3bt2= a(3t1) +b(3t2)
= aC(t1) + bC(t2)
Superposition principle is satisfied
Hence C(t) = 3t is linear.

Let f(x) = 21x2y
g(x) = 35 xy2
GCD = 7 xy
LCM of 21, 35 = 105
LCM of x2y, xy2 = x2y2
LCM = 105 x2y2
Now, f(x) x g(x) = (21 x2y) (35 xy2)
= 735 x3 y3
LCM x GCD = (105 x2y2) (7 xy)
= 735 x3 y3
f(x) x g(x) = LCM x GCD
Hence verified

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.

Therefore, by AA Criterion of similarity,
\(\Delta AOQ\sim \Delta BOP\)
\(\frac { AO }{ BO } =\frac { OQ }{ OP } =\frac { AQ }{ BP } \)
\(\frac { 10 }{ 6 } =\frac { AQ }{ 9 } \) gives \(AQ=\frac { 10\times 9 }{ 6 } =15cm\)

Let h1 and h2 be the heights of a cone and cylinder respectively.
Also, let r be the radius of the cone.
Given that, height of the cone h1 = 24 cm; radius of the cone and cylinder r = 6 cm
Since, Volume of cylinder = Volume of cone
\({ \pi r }^{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } { \pi r }^{ 2 }{ h }_{ 1 }\)
\({ h }_{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times { h }_{ 1 }\quad gives\quad { h }_{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times 24=8\)
Therefore, height of cylinder is 8 cm
