Clearly bucket forms frustum of a cone such that the radii of its circular ends are r1 = 28 cm, r2 = 7 cm, h = 45 cm
Capacity of the bucket = volume of the frustum
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \pi h[{ r }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }+{ r }_{ 2 }^{ 2 }+{ r }_{ 1 }{ r }_{ 2 }]\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 45[{ 28 }^{ 2 }+{ 7 }^{ 2 }+28\times 7)]\)
= 22 x 15 x (28 x 4 + 7 + 28)
\(\Rightarrow 330\times 147{ cm }^{ 2 }\Rightarrow 48510{ cm }^{ 2 }\)

Given XY IIA C

So,

\(\therefore \Delta ABC\sim \Delta XbY\) (AAA similarity criterion)
So, \(\cfrac { ar(ABC) }{ ar(XBY) } =\left( \cfrac { AB }{ XB } \right) ^{ 2 }\) ...(1)
ar(ABC) = 2ar(XBY)
\(\cfrac { ar(ABC) }{ ar(ABC) } =\cfrac { 2 }{ 1 } \) ...(2)
From (1) and (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.

D= b2-4ac
⇒ 4(ac + bd)2 - 4(a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)
⇒ 4[(ac + bd)2 - (a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)]
⇒ 4(a2c2 + b2d2 + 2acbd - a2c2b2c2 - a2d2 - b2d2]
⇒ 4[2acbd - a2d2 - b2c2]
⇒ 4[a2d2 + b2c2 - 2adbc]
⇒-4[ ad - bc]2
We have ad≠ bc
∴ ad- be of 0
⇒ (ad - bc)2 > 0
⇒ 4(ad - bc)2 < 0 ⇒ D < 0
Hence the given equation has no real roots.
19.
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.

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.
21.
Given points (1, - 5) and (4, 2)
Mid-point of the line joining the points (1, - 5), (4, 2)
\(=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1+4}{2}, \frac{-5+2}{2}\right)
\)
\(=\left(\frac{5}{2},-\frac{3}{2}\right)
\)
Equation of a straight line passing through
\(\left(\frac{5}{2},-\frac{3}{2}\right)
\) and parallel to Y-axis is x = a
\(\text { i.e., } x=\frac{5}{2} \Rightarrow 2 x-5=0\)
22.
\(\frac { { x }^{ 2 }-16 }{ { x }^{ 2 }+8x+16 } =\frac { \left( x+4 \right) \left( x-4 \right) }{ { \left( x+4 \right) }^{ 2 } } =\frac { x-4 }{ x+4 } \)
23.
A = B = {(p, q)
A x B = {p, q} x {p, q}
= {(p, p), (p, q), (q, p), (q, q)}
A x A = {p, q} x {p, q}
= {(p, p),(p, q),(q, p),(q, q)}
B x A = {p, q} x {p, q}
= {(p, p),(p, q),(q, p),(q, q)}
A x B = A x A = B x A
Since A = B

Radius of conical flask = 'r' units
Height of conical flask = 'h' units
Volume of conical flask = Volume of water
\(=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h \text { cu. units }\)
Since, water is poured into the cylindrical flask
Volume of cylinder = Volume of water
\(\pi(\mathrm{xr})^{2} H=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\)
[xr - radius of cylinder, H - height]
\(\mathrm{X}^{2} \mathrm{r}^{2} \mathrm{H}=\frac{r^{2}}{3} h\)
Height of the water in cylinder flask
\(\mathrm{H}=\frac{h}{3 x^{2}}\)

Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (2a + (n - 1)d)
Here d = 7 -3 = 11 - 7 = 4
t2- t1 = t3 - t2 and it forms an A.P.
where a = 3,d = 4.
S40 = \(\frac{40}{2}\) (2 X 3 + 39d)
= 20 [6 + (39 x 4)] - 20 [6 + 156]
= 20 [162] = 3240
Sum upto 40 terms = 3240

In \(\triangle\)PST and \(\triangle\)PQR,
\(\frac { PS }{ PQ } =\frac { 2 }{ 2+1 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } ,\frac { PT }{ PR } =\frac { 4 }{ 4+2 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)
Thus, \(\frac { PS }{ PQ } =\frac { PT }{ PR } \) and \(\angle\)P is common
Therefore, by SAS similarity,
\(\triangle\) PST~\(\triangle\)PQR

= Σx2- 20 x 99 + 900 = 79
Σx2 = 79 + 1980 - 900 = 1159
Σ(x - \(\bar { x } \))2 = Σ(x - 11)2 = Σ(x2 - 22x + 121)
= Σx2 - 22Σx + 121 x 9
= 1159 - 22 x 99 + 1089 = 70
∴ Σx2 = 1159, Σ(x - \(\bar { x } \))2 = 70

The area of the triangle formed by the given points is equal to
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [-1.5 (-2 - 4) + 6 (4 - 3) + (-3) (3 + 2)]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [9 + 6 - 15] = 0
We can have a triangle at area 0 square units? What does this mean?
If the area of a triangle is 0 square units, then its vertices will be collinear.

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

84,90 and 120
First we will find the H.C.F. of 84 and 90.
H.C.F. (90, 84)
Applying Euclid's Division Algorithm until we get remainder zero.
90 = 84 (1) + 6
84 = 6 (14) + 0
Remainder = 0.
H.C.F. (90, 84) = 6
Now finding H.C.F. (120 , 6) we have
120 - 6(20) + 0
Remainder = 0
H.C.F. is 6.
So H.C.F. of 84, 90 and 120 is 6.

| \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = N = 50 | \(\Sigma f_{i} d_{i}\) = 8 | \(\Sigma f_{i} d_{i}^{2}\) = 78 |
Standard deviation
\(\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma f_{i} d_{i}^{2}}{N}-\left(\frac{\Sigma f_{i} d_{i}}{N}\right)^{2}} \)
\(=\sqrt{\frac{78}{50}-\left(\frac{8}{50}\right)^{2}}\)
\(=\sqrt{\frac{78}{50}-\frac{64}{2500}} \)
\(=\sqrt{\frac{3900-64}{2500}}=\sqrt{\frac{3836}{2500}} \)
\(=\sqrt{1.5344} \simeq 1.238 \simeq 1.24 \)
Standard deviation \( \sigma \simeq 1.24 \)

Let AB be the building of height 60 m.
DC be the lamp post.
DC = BE
In the right triangle ADE
\(\tan 38^{\circ}=\frac{A E}{D E}\)
\(0.7813 =\frac{A E}{C B} \)
\(C B =\frac{A E}{0.7813} \)
From the right triangle ACB
\(\tan 60^{\circ} =\frac{A B}{B C} \)
\(\sqrt{3} =\frac{60}{B C} \)
\(B C =\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{60 \times \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}} \)
\(=\frac{60 \sqrt{3}}{3} C B =20 \sqrt{3} \)
From (1) and (2)
\(\frac{A E}{0.7813}=20 \sqrt{3}\)
AE = 20 x 1.732 x 0.7813
= 34.64 x 0.7813 = 27.064232 = 27.06 m
Now height of the lamp post
= DC = EB = AB - AE = 60 - 22.06 = 32.93 m
Height of the lamp post = 32.93 m

The relationship between selling price and demand is linear. Taking selling price along x- axis and demand along y- axis. We have two points from the data. (14,980) and (16,1220)
Equation of a straight line joining the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
\(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}} =\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \)
\(\frac{y-980}{1220-980} =\frac{x-14}{16-14} \)
\(\frac{y-980}{240} =\frac{x-14}{2} \)
y - 980 = 120x - 1680
120x - y - 700 = 0
(or) y = 120x - 700
when x = 17, y = 120(17) - 700
= 2040 - 700 = 1340

Let h, l, R and r be the height, slant height, outer radius and inner radius of the frustum.
Given that, diameter of the top = 10 m; radius of the top R = 5 m.
diameter of the bottom = 4 m; radius of the bottom r = 2 m, height h = 4 m
Now, \(l=\sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+\left( R-{ r } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { { 4 }^{ 2 }+(5-2)^{ 2 } } \)
\(l=\sqrt { 16+9 } =\sqrt { 25 } =5m\)
Here, C.S.A. = \(\pi\)(R + r)l sq. units
\(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } (5+2)\times 5={ 110m }^{ 2 }\)
T.S.A. = \(\pi\)(R + r)l + \(\pi\)R2 + \(\pi\)r2 sq. units
\(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \left[ (5+2)5+25+4 \right] =\frac { 1408 }{ 7 } =201.14\)
Therefore, C.S.A. = 110 m2 and T.S.A. = 201.14 m2

x2 - 8x + 16 = 0
Step 1 Prepare the table of values for the equation y = x2 - 8x + 16
| x | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| y | 25 | 16 | 9 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 |
Step 2: Plot the points for the above ordered pairs (x, y) on the graph using suitable scale.

Step 3: Draw the parabola and mark the coordinates of the parabola which intersect with the X axis.
Step 4: The roots of the equation are the x coordinates of the intersecting points of the parabola with the X axis (4,0) which is 4.
Since there is only one point of intersection with X axis, the quadratic equation x2 - 8x + 16 = 0 has real and equal roots.

y=x2+3x-4
| x | -4 | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| x2 | 16 | 9 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 |
| 3x | -12 | -9 | -6 | -3 | 0 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 |
| -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 |
| y=x2+3x-4 | 0 | -4 | -6 | -6 | -4 | 0 | 6 | 14 | 24 |
Draw the parabola using the points (-4, 0), (-3, -4), (-2, -6), (-1, -6), (0, -4), (1, 0), (2, 6), (3, 14), (4,24).
To solve: X2 + 3x - 4 = 0 subtract X2 + 3x - 4 = 0 from y = X2 + 3x - 4
The points of intersection of the parabola with the x axis are the points (-4, 0) and (1, 0), whose x - co-ordinates (-4, 1) is the solution, set for the equation X2 + 3x - 4 = 0.

Given, diameter (d) = 6 cm, we find radius \((r)=\cfrac { 6 }{ 2 } =3cm\)

Construction
Step 1: With centre at O, draw a circle of radius 3 cm.
Step 2: Draw a line OP of length 8 cm.
Step 3: Draw a perpendicular bisector of OP, which cuts OP at M.
Step 4: With M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle which cuts previous circle at A and B.
Step5: Join AP and BP. AP and BP are the required tangents. Thus length of the tangents are PA = PB = 7.4 cm.
Verification : In the right angle triangle OAP,PA2 = OP2 - OA2 = 64 -9 = 55
\(PA=\sqrt { 55= } 7.4\ cm\) (approximately) .
