g(x) = x3 + 1 = (x + 1) (x2 - x + 1)
GCD = x + 1
LCM = (x + 1) (x - 1) (x2 + x + 1) (x2 - x + 1)
f(x) x g(x) = (x3 - 1) (x + 1) (x3 + 1)
= ( x + 1) ((x3)2 - (1)2 )
= ( x + 1) (x6 - 1)
LCM x GCD = (x + 1) (x - 1) (x2 + x + 1) (x2 - x + 1) (x + 1)
= (x + 1) (x2 - x + 1) (x - 1) (x2 + x + 1) (x + 1)
= (x3 + 1) (x - 1)(x + 1)
= (x6 - 1)(x + 1)
f(x) x g(x) = LCM x GCD
Hence verified.

leap year has 366 days. So it has 52 full weeks and 2 days. 52 Saturdays must be in 52 full weeks.
The possible chances for the remaining two days will be the sample space.
S = {(Sun-Mon, Mon-Tue, Tue-Wed, Wed-Thu, Thu-Fri, Fri-Sat, Sat-Sun)}
n(S) = 7
Let A be the event of getting 53rd Saturday.
Then A = {Fri-Sat, Sat-Sun}; n(A) = 2
Probability of getting 53 Saturdays in a leap year is P(A0 = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 2 }{ 7 } \).

To find the coefficient of variation we need standard deviation
\(\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}\right)^{2}}
\)
\(\frac{\Sigma x^{2}}{n} =\frac{765}{5}=153
\)
\(\left(\frac{\Sigma x}{n}\right)^{2} =(\bar{x})^{2}=6^{2}=36
\)
\(\sigma =\sqrt{(153)-36}=\sqrt{117}
\)
\(=\sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 13}
\)
\(\sigma =3 \sqrt{13}
\)
Coefficient of variation \(=\frac{\sigma}{x} \times 100 \%\)
\(=\frac{3 \sqrt{13}}{6} \times 100 \%=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2} \times 100 \%=\frac{3.60555}{2} \times 100 \%
\)
\(=1.80277 \times 100 \%=180.277 \%
\)
Coefficient of variation = 180.28 %
35.
For comparing two data, first we have to find their coefficient of variations
Mean \(\bar { { x }_{ 1 } } \) = 155 cm, variance σ12 = 72.25 cm2
Therefore standard deviation σ1 = 8.5
Coefficient of variation C.V1 = \(\frac { { \sigma }_{ 1 } }{ \bar { { x }_{ 1 } } } \) x 100%
C.V1 = \(\frac { 8.5 }{ 15.5 } \) x 100% = 5.48% (for heights)
Mean \(\bar { { x }_{ 2 } } \) = 155 cm, variance σ22 = 72.25 kg2
Standard deviation σ2 = 5.3 kg
Coefficient of variation CV2 = \(\frac { { \sigma }_{ 2 } }{ \bar { { x }_{ 2 } } } \) x 100%
C.V2 = \(\frac { 5.3 }{ 46.50 } \) x 100% = 11.40% (for weights)
C.V1 = 5.48% = and CV2 = 11.40%
Since C.V2 > C.V1, the weight of the students is more varying than the height.

2x2 - x - 1 = 0 here, a = 2, b = -1, c = -1
α + β = \(\frac {-b}{a} = \frac {-(-1)}{2} = \frac {1}{2}\), αβ = \(\frac {c}{a} = -\frac {1}{2}\)
Given roots are \(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } ,\frac { 1 }{ \beta } \)
Sum of the roots = \(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } +\frac { 1 }{ \beta } =\frac { \alpha +\beta }{ \alpha \beta } =\frac { \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }{ -\frac { 1 }{ 2 } } \) = -1
Product of the roots = \(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } \times \frac { 1 }{ \beta } =\frac { 1 }{ \alpha \beta } =\frac { 1 }{ -\frac { 1 }{ 2 } } \) = -2
The required equation is x2 – (Sum of the roots)x + (Product of the roots) = 0
x2 - (-1)x - 2 = 0 gives x2 + x - 2 = 0

\(\therefore\) R = L - S = 125- 63 = 62
Co-efficient of range = \(\frac { L-S }{ L+S } \)
=\(\frac {125-63 }{ 125+63 } \)

We can express the number 0.6666 ....as follows
0.6666 ..... = 0.6 + 0.06 + 0.006 + 0.0006 + .....
We now see that numbers 0.6,0.06,0.006....forms an G.P Whose first term a = 0.6 and common ration r = \(\frac { 0.06 }{ 0.6 } \) = 0.1
Also - 1 < r = 0.1 < 1
Using the infinite G.P. formula, we have
0.6666.... = 0.6 + 0.06 + 0.006 + 0.0006 + .... =\(\frac { 0.6 }{ 1-0.1 } =\frac { 0.6 }{ 0.9 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)
Thus the rational number equivalent of 0.6666..is \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)

Let PQ the height of the tower.
Take PQ = h and QR is the distance between the tower and the point R.in right triangle PQR,\(\angle \)PRQ=30°
tan\(\theta =\frac { PQ }{ QR } \)
tan30° = \(\frac { h }{ 48 } \) gives,\(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { h }{ 48 } \) so, h =\(16\sqrt { 3 } \)
Therefore the height of the tower \(16\sqrt { 3 } \) m

Given a, b, c are in A.P
t2 - t1 = t3 - t2
b - a = c - b
b + b = c + a
2b = c + a
If we multiply both the sides by same number value will not change
32b = 3a+c
3b + b = 3a+c
3b . 3b = 3a . 3c
\(\frac{3^{b}}{3^{a}}=\frac{3^{c}}{3^{b}}\)
Thus 3a, 3b, 3c are in G.P.

a = 6, r = 3
The three terms of G.P. are a, ar, ar2

Largest value L = 67; Smallest value S =18
Range R = L = S = 67 - 18 = 49

a = 400,.d = 300
Sum upto n terms
\(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}} =\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d] \)
\(65000 =\frac{n}{2}[2(400)+(n-1) 300] \)
\(65000 =\frac{n}{2} \times 2[400+(n-1) 150] \)
= n[400 + 150n - 150]
= n[150 n + 250]
65000 = 150n2 + 250n
Divided by 50
1300 = 3n2 + 5n
3n2 + 5n - 1300 = 0
\(\mathrm{n} =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a} \)
\(=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^{2}-4(3)(-1300)}}{2(3)} \)
\(=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25+15600}}{6}=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{15625}}{6} \)

Given vertices A(1, - 4) , B(2, - 3) and C(4, - 7)
Slope of the line = \(\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}\)
Slope of AB = \(\frac{-4+3}{1-2}=\frac{-1}{-1}=1
\)
Slope of BC = \(\frac{-3+7}{2-4}=\frac{4}{-2}=-2
\)
Slope of AC = \(\frac{-4+7}{1-4}=\frac{3}{-3}=-1
\)
(Slope of AB) x (Slope of AC) = - 1
AB is perpendicular to AC.
Hence, the given vertices form a right angled triangle
Distance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is \(\sqrt{\left.\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)^{2}+y_{1}-y_{2}\right)^{2}}\) units
\(A B =\sqrt{(1-2)^{2}+(-4+3)^{2}}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}
\)
\(A B^{2} =(\sqrt{2})^{2}=2
\)
\(B C =\sqrt{(2-4)^{2}+(-3+7)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}
\)
BC2 = 20
\(A C=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(-4+7)^{2}}=\sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18}\)
AC2 = 18
Now, AB2 + AC2 = BC2
Hence, the Pythagoras theorem is satisfied.

f(x) = 3 x -2, g(x) = 2x + k
f o g = f(g(x)) = f(2x + k) = 3(2x + k) - 2 = 6x + k - 2
Thus, f o g(x) = 6x + 3k - 2
g o f(x) = g(3x - 2) = 2(3x - 2) + k
Thus, g o f(x) = 6x - 4 + k
Given that f o g = g o f
Therefore, 6x + 3k-2 = 6z - 4 + k
6x - 6x + 3k - k = -4 + 2 ⇒ -1

4\(\pi\)r2 = 154
\(4\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { r }^{ 2 }=154\)
gives \({ r }^{ 2 }=154\times \frac { 1 }{ 4 } \times \frac { 7 }{ 22 } \)
hence, \({ r }^{ 2 }=\frac { 49 }{ 4 } \)We get r = \(\frac{7}{2}\)
Therefore, diameter is 7 m
60.
Given that, diameter d = 2.8 m and height = 3 m
radius r = 1.4 m
Area covered in one revolution = curved surface area of the cylinder
= 2\(\pi\)rh sq. units
\(2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 1.4\times 3=26.4\)
Area covered in 1 revolution = 26.4 m2
Area covered in 8 revolutions = 8 x 26.4 = 211.2
Therefore, area covered is 211.2 m2

Then find the LCM of the terms involving variables.
That is, LCM (x4y2, x2y4) = x4y4
Finally find the LCM of the given expression.
We conclude that the LCM of the given expression is the product of the LCM of the numerical coefficient and the LCM of the terms with variables.
Therefore, LCM (8x4y2, 48x2y4) = 48 x4y4

-4a = 0
a = 0

\(\frac{1}{2}\) [(8 - 2) + p (2 - 0) + 6 (0 - 8)] = 20
2p - 48 = 40

Domain of f = {1, 2, 3, 4...........}
Codomain = {1,2,3, 4.......}
Range of f = {2,4,6, 8......}

3x \(\equiv \) 1 (mod 15) can be written as
3x - 1 = 15k for some integer k
3x = 15k + 1
\(x=\frac { 15k+1 }{ 3 } \)
\(x=5k+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
Since 5k is an integer , 5k + \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) cannot be an integer
So there is no integer solution

Consider 2n \(\times\) 5m
Since the product has 2 as a factor
2n \(\times\) 5m is even

\(\Delta \ CAB\) and \(\Delta CED\),\(\angle C\) is common, \(\angle A=\angle CED\)

\(\frac { AB }{ DE } =\frac { CB }{ CD } \quad \frac { 9 }{ x } =\frac { 10+2 }{ 8 } ,x=\frac { 8\times 9 }{ 12 } =6\) cm.
72.
Since 6n = (2 x 3)n = 2n x 3n
2 is a factor of 6n. So, 6 n is always even.

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
75.
f(x) = 3x + 2, g(x) = 6x - k
f o g = f{g(x)) = f{6x - k)
= 3(6x - k) + 2

g o f = g(f(x)) = 6(3x + 2) - k
= 18x + 12 - k
Given f o g = g o f
18x - 3k + 2 = 18x + 12 - k
3k - k = -12 + 2
2k = -10
k = -5

It is given that C.S.A \(=\frac{5}{6}(\text { T.S.A })\)
\(\text { C.S.A }=\frac{5}{6}(1848)=1540
\)
\(\text { C.S.A }=\frac{5}{6}(\text { T.S.A })
\)
\(2 \pi r h=\frac{5}{6}(2 \pi r(h+r))
\)
h = 5r
We have C.S.A = 1540
2rh = 1540
\(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 5 r =1540
\)
\(r^{2} =\frac{1540 \times 7}{44 \times 5}=49

r = 7
h = 5r = 5(7) = 35
