BL and CM are medians at the \(\triangle\)ABC in which
\(A=\angle { 90 }^{ 0 }\)
From \(\triangle\)ABC
BC2 = AB2 + AC2
(Pythagoras theorem)

From \(\Delta ABL\)
BL2 = AL2 + AB2
\({ BL }^{ 2 }=\left( \cfrac { { AC }^{ 2 } }{ 2 } \right) +{ AB }^{ 2 }\)
(L is the mid-point at AC)
\({ BL }^{ 2 }=\cfrac { { AC }^{ 2 } }{ 4 } +{ AB }^{ 2 }\)
4BL2 = AC2 + 4AB2
From \(\Delta CMA\)
CM2 = AC2 + AM2
\({ CM }^{ 2 }={ Ac }^{ 2 }+\left( \cfrac { AB }{ 2 } \right) ^{ 2 }\)
(M is the mid-point at AB)
\({ CM }^{ 2 }={ AC }^{ 2 }+\cfrac { { AB }^{ 2 } }{ 4 } \)
4CM2 = 4AC2+ AB2
Adding (2) and (3), we have
4(BL2 + CM2) = 5(AC2 + AB2)
4(BL2 + CM2) = 5BC2
16.
Since, sin(A - B) = \(\frac12\), ∴ A-B = 30° ..... (1)
Also, since cos (A + B) = \(\frac12\)
∴ A + B = 60° ...(2)
Solving (1) and (2)
A - B + A + B = 30o + 60o
2A = 90o
A = 45o
We get,
A = 45° and B = 15°
17.
Volume of a cylinder \(=\pi { r }^{ 2 }h\)
Volume of a cone \(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 2 }h\)
Volume of a sphere \(=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }\)
Their ratio V1 : V2 : V3
\(h:\frac { h }{ 3 } :\frac { 4r }{ 3 } \)
3h: h: 4r
3h : h : 2(2r) (where 2r = h)
∴ V1 : V2 : V3 = 3: 1 : 2

We know that diagonals at a parallelogram bisect each other.
So, the coordinates of the mid-point at AC = coordinates of the mid-point at BD.
i.e., \(\left[ \frac { 6+9 }{ 2 } ,\frac { 1+4 }{ 2 } \right] =\left[ \frac { 8+P }{ 2 } ,\frac { 2+3 }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\left[ \frac { 15 }{ 2 } ,\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \right] =\left[ \frac { 8+P }{ 2 } ,\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\frac { 15 }{ 2 } =\frac { 8+P }{ 2 } \)
P = 7

(A U B) x C = (A x C) U (B x C)
A = {0,1} , B = {2,3,4} , C = {3,5}
\(A\cup B\) = {0,1,2,3,4}
\((A\cup B)\times C\) = {0,1,2,3,4} x {3,5}
= {(0,3),(0,5),(1,3),(1,5),(2,3),(2,5),(3,3),(3,5),(4,3),(4,5)} ...(1)
A x C = {0,1} x {3,5}
= {(0,3),(0,5),(1,3),(1,5)}
B x C = {2,3,4} x {3,5}
= {(2,3),(2,5),(3,3),(3,5),(4,3),(4,5)}
\((A\times C)\cup (B\times C)\) = {(0,3),(0,5),(1,3),(1,5),(2,3),(2,5),(3,3),(3,5),(4,3),(4,5)} .....(2)
From (1) and (2), it is clear that
(A U B) x C = (A x C) U (B x C)
Hence verified.
23.
Number of non defective bulbs = 20.
Let x be the number of defective bulbs
Then total number of bulbs n(s) = 20 + x
Let 'A' be the event of getting defective bulbs
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{x}{20+x}=\frac{3}{8}\)
8x = 3 (20 + x)
8x = 60 + 3x
8x - 3x = 60
5x = 60
\(x=\frac{60}{5}\)
x = 12
Number of defective bulbs = 12
24.
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
25.
Given vertices are A (6, 2), B (- 5, - 1) and C (1, 9)
Median through A :
Let D be the mid point of BC
Mid point of BC \(=\mathrm{D}\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right) \)
\(=\mathrm{D}\left(\frac{-5+1}{2}, \frac{-1+9}{2}\right) \)
= D (-2 , 4)
Now AD is the median.
Equation of AD \(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
\(\frac{y-2}{4-2}=\frac{x-6}{-2-6} \)
\(\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{x-6}{-8} \)
- 4y + 8 = x - 6
x + 4y - 14 = 0
Altitude through A
Altitude is passing through 'A' and perpendicular to BC.
Now,
Slope of BC = \(\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}=\frac{-1-9}{-5-1}=\frac{-10}{-6}=\frac{5}{3}\)
Slope of Altitude \(=-\frac{3}{5}\)
Equation of the altitude which is passing through A (6,2)and having slope \(-\frac{3}{5}\) is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\(y-2=-\frac{3}{5}(x-6)\)
5y- 10 = -3x + 18
3x + 5y - 28 = 0
26.

\)
\({\left[\because(a+b)^{3}=a^{3}+b^{3}+3 a b(a+b)\right]}
\)
\(=1+\tan ^{6} \theta+3 \tan ^{2} \theta\left(\sec ^{2} \theta\right)\)
= tan6θ + 3tan2θ sec2θ + 1
= RHS
27.

Let h, r and R be the height, top and bottom radii of the frustum.
Given that, h = 45 cm, R = 28 cm, r = 7 cm
Now, Volume \(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi \left[ { R }^{ 2 }+Rr+{ r }^{ 2 } \right] h\quad cu.units\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \left[ { 28 }^{ 2 }+(28\times 7)+{ 7 }^{ 2 } \right] \times 45\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 1029\times 45=48510\)
Therefore, volume of the frustum is 48510 cm3
28.
Let the weight of applies be a kg.
Let the weight of bananas be b kg.
a+b = 50
ax = Rs. 1800...(1)
by = Rs. 600 ..(2)
x = 2y ....(3)
Use (3) in (1) ⇒
∵ 3b = 2a ....(5)
∵ a + b = 50
\(a+\frac { 2a }{ 3 } =50\Rightarrow \frac { 5a }{ 3 } =50\)
\(\Rightarrow a=50\times \frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)
= 30
∴ b = 20
∴ Iniya bought 30kg of applies and 20 kg of bananas.

A is assumed mean c is common factor.
Here A= 15, C = 5

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.

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.

BC is the second building.
AD = BE = BC - CE
From the right triangle CED
\(\tan 45^{\circ} =\frac{C E}{D E} \)
\(1 =\frac{C E}{A B}=\frac{C E}{70 m} \)
CE = 70 m
BE = BC - EC
= 120 m - 70 m = 50 m
AD = 50 m
Height of the first building is 50 m.

Given the A.P. - 11, - 15, - 19,....
Here First term a = - 11

d = - 4
nth term of an A.P. is tn = a + (n - 1)d
19th term (t19) = -11 + (19 - 1) (-4)
= -11 + 18 (- 4)
= -11 + (- 72) = -83
19th term of -11,-15, -19,...is - 83.

In \(\triangle\)ABC, AD is the bisector of \(\angle\)A
Therefore by Angle Bisector of \(\angle\)A

Given function f({1,2), (2,3), (3,2), (4,), (5,4)}
(i) An arrow diagram

(ii) a table form
| x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| f(x) | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
(iii) A graph representation

42.
Given points are (2, 3), (4, a) and (6, - 3)
Since the points are colinear, Area of triangle is zero
\(\text { i.e., } \frac{1}{2}\left[x_{1}\left(y_{2}-y_{3}\right)+x_{2}\left(y_{3}-y_{1}\right)+x_{3}\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)\right]=0\)
2(a + 3) + 4(- 3 -3) + 6(3 - a) = 0
2a + 6 - 24 + 18 - 6a = 0
-4a + 0 = 0
-4a = 0
a = 0

x2 + 2x + 5 = 0
Let y = x2 + 2x + 5
Step 1 Prepare a table of values for the equation y = x2 + 2x + 5
| x | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| y | 8 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 13 | 20 |
Step 2: Plot the above ordered pairs(x, y) on the graph using suitable scale.

Step 3: Join the points by a free-hand smooth curve this smooth curve is the graph of y = x2 + 2x + 5
Step 4: The solutions of the given quadratic equation are the x coordinates of the intersecting points of the parabola the X axis.
Here the parabola doesn’t intersect or touch the X axis.
So, we conclude that there is no real root for the given quadratic equation.
