(i) To check if h is one – one, we assume that h(b1) = h(b2)
Then we get 2.47 b1 + 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.

It is an Arithmetic series
Sum \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{n}{2}(a+l)\)
a = 6 : l = 97
a + (n - 1) d = 97

Height of the barrel = h = 7 cm

2m2 + 19m + 30 = 2m2 + 4m + 15m + 30 = 2m(m + 2) + 15(m + 2)
= (m + 2)(2m + 15)
Now, equating the factors to zero we get,
(m + 2)(2m + 15) = 0
m + 2 gives, m = -2 or 2m + 15 = 0 we get, m = \(\frac {-15}{2}\)
Therefore the roots are -2, \(\frac {-15}{2}\)
Some equations which are not quadratic can be solved by reducing them to quadratic equations by suitable substitutions. Such examples are illustrated below.

Given PQ is the tangent from the point P outside the circle and OQ is the radius.
We know that tangent meet the radius perpendicularly
\( \therefore \angle P Q O =90^{\circ} \)
\(\angle P O Q =180-120=60^{\circ} \)
\( [\because\ \angle\ P O Q \ and\ \angle P O R\ are \ linear\ pair \ of\ angles]\)
\( In \ \triangle P O O \angle P O O+\angle P O O+\angle O P Q=180^{\circ}\)

Since the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of any two corresponding sides, we have
\(\frac { Area(\Delta ABC) }{ Area(\Delta DEF) } =\frac { { BC }^{ 2 } }{ { EF }^{ 2 } } \) gives \(\frac { 54 }{ Area(\Delta DEF) } =\frac { { 3 }^{ 2 } }{ { 4 }^{ 2 } } \)

Given a triangle PQR we are required to construct another triangle whose sides are \(\frac{3}{5}\) of the corresponding sides of the triangle PQR.

Steps of construction
1. Construct a \(\triangle\) PQR with any measurement
2. Draw a ray QX making an acute angle with QR on the side opposite to vertex P.
3. Locate 5 (the greater of 3 and 5 in \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)) points.
Q1Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5 on QX so that QQ1 = Q1Q2 = Q2Q3 = Q4Q5
4. Join Q5R and draw a line through Q3 (the third point, 3 being smaller of 3 and 5 in \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)) parallel to Q5R to intersect QR at R'.
5. Draw line through R' parallel to the line RP to intersect QP at P'.
Then, \(\triangle\)P'QR' is the required triangle each of whose sides is three-fifths of the corresponding sides of \(\triangle\) PQR.

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

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.
68.
Let the numbers be ∝, β
Sum of the roots = ∝ + β = 15 ...(1)
\(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } +\frac { 1 }{ \beta } =\frac { 3 }{ 10 } \quad \quad \quad ...(2)\)
\(\\ \frac { +\alpha }{ \alpha \beta } =\frac { 3 }{ 10 } \)
10(∝+ β)= 3∝β ....(3)
30∝β=10x15=150

78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 48 + (n -1)(-3))
78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 2(51-3n)
or 3n2 - 51n + 156 = 0
n2 -17n + 52 = 0
(n - 4)(n - 13) = 0
n = 4 or 13
The number of terms are 4 or 13.

Since the given points are collinear, the area a the triangle formed by them must be 0, i.e.,

\(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \)
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
73.

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

A = {232, 242, 252, 262, 272, 282, 292, 302, 312}
n(A) = 9
(i) Probability of the first player wins a prize By picking one of the cards from A he may win a prize
\(P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{9}{1000}\)
(ii) Probability of the second player winning a prize, if the first has won
Let 'B' be the event of second player wins a prize.
Since the card picked in (i) is not replaced
n(B) = 3
n(S) = 1000 -1 = 999
\(P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{8}{999}\)

\(

\(B D=66 \sqrt{3}\)

\(A B =40 \sqrt{3} m \)
AB = 40 x 1.732 - 69.28 m
Distance of the hill from the ship = 69.28 m
(ii) In the right triangle \(\triangle\)CDE

\(C D=40 \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}=40 \times 3=120 \mathrm{~m}\)
Now height of the hill = BC = BD + DC

Adding (2) and (3)
\( \frac{E C}{E A}+\frac{A C}{A E} =\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{4} \)

\(\frac{12}{5 \times 6} =\frac{y}{5+y} \)
12(5 + y) = 30 y
60 + 12y = 30 y

Equation of the line in Intercepts form is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\)
\(\frac{x}{\left(\frac{2 b}{5}\right)}+\frac{y}{b}=1 \)
\(\frac{5 x}{2 b}+\frac{y}{b}=1 \)
5x + 2y = 2b
This passes through ( 1, - 4)

\(5-8=2 b \Rightarrow b=-\frac{3}{2} \)
\(a =\frac{2 b}{5}=\frac{2\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)}{5}=-\frac{3}{5} \)
Equation of a straight line is
\(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1 \Rightarrow \frac{x}{\left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)}+\frac{y}{\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)}=1\)

Clearly the ladder AC make a right triangle with the wall AB force at a distance BC. \(\angle\)B - 90o

By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
52 = 42 + BC2
BC2 = 25 - 16
BC2 = 9
BC = 3m
If C moves 1.6 m towards the wall BC becomes
3m - 1.6m = 1.4m
Now in \(\triangle\)ABC
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
52 = AB2 +(1.4)2
25 - 1.96 = AB2
AB2 = 23.04
AB = 4.8m
The new height of the wall = 4.8 m
Difference =4.8 - 4 = -0.8m
The ladder would be placed 0.8 m upward the wall.

Given that, volume of the tank = 1.078 x 106 = 1078000 litre
1078 m3 (since 1l = \(\frac{1}{1000}m^3\))
diameter = 7m gives radius = \(\frac{7}{2}\)m
volume of the tank = \(\pi\)r h 2 cu. units
1078 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { 7 }{ 2 } \times \frac { 7 }{ 2 } \times h\)
Therefore, height of the tank is 28 m
89.
From the figure,
slope = \(\frac { change\quad in\quad y\quad coordinate }{ change\quad is\quad x\quad coordinate } \)
=\(\frac { 68-32 }{ 20-0 } =\frac { 36 }{ 20 } =\frac { 9 }{ 5 } \)= 1.8
The line crosses the Y axis at (0, 32)
So the slope is \(\frac { 9 }{ 5 } \) and y intercept is 32.
90.
\(\frac { 2{ a }^{ 2 }+5a+3 }{ 3{ a }^{ 2 }+7a+6 } \div \frac { { a }^{ 2 }+6a+5 }{ -5{ a }^{ 2 }-35a-50 } \)
\(=\frac { { 2a }^{ 2 }+5a+3 }{ { 2a }^{ 2 }+7a+6 } \times \frac { -5{ a }^{ 2 }-35a-50 }{ { a }^{ 2 }+6a+5 } \)
