Let us make Ceasar Cipher table first. Here, we have to set to + 4 table. For that, we have to start letter e to set as A, f as B … likewise d as Z. Now, the + 4 Ceasar Cipher table looks like
| Plain Text | a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j | k | l | m | n | o | p | q | r | s | t | u | v | w | x | y | z |
| Cipher Text | W | X | Y | Z | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V |
The given plain text is

The ladder, wall and the ground form a right triangle with the ladder as the hypotenuse. From the figure, by Pythagoras theorem,
202 = 162 + x2
⇒ 400 = 256 + x2
⇒ x2 = 400 − 256 = 144 = 122
⇒ x = 12 feet
Therefore, the base (foot) of the ladder is 12 feet away from the wall.

5.
Take a = 5, b = 12 and c = 13
Now, a2 + b2 = 52 +122 = 25 +144 = 169 = 132 = c2
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is a right angled triangle.
6.
Let the number be x.
x-\(\frac { 25 }{ 100 } x\) = 120
\(\frac { 100x-25x }{ 100 } \) = 120
\(\frac { 75x }{ 100 } \) = 120
x = \(\frac { 120\times 100 }{ 75 } \)
x = 160
7.
[\(\because\) using a2-2ab+b2 = (a-b)2]
4a2-4a+1 = (2a)2-2\(\times\)(2a)\(\times\)1+12
= (2a-1)2
= (2a-1)(2a-1)

\(\angle \)APB =\(\angle \)DPC [Vertically opposite angles]
\(\angle \)ABP =\(\angle \)DCP [Remaining angle]
∴ \(\triangle \)APB ~ \(\triangle \)DPC [AAA criteria]
\( \frac {AP }{ DP } =\frac { BP }{ PC }\) [Corresponding sides are proportional]
AP x PC = BP x DP

Comparing (x + 4)3 with (a + b)3, we get a = x, b = 4
We know(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
(x + 4)3 = (x)3 + 3(x)2 + 3(x)(4)2 + (4)3
= (x)5 + 3x2(4)+ 3(x)(16) + 64
(x+4)3 = x3 + 12x2 + 48x + 64

\(-5.8=\frac { -58 }{ 10 } =\frac { -29 }{ 5 } =-5\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \)
13.
Now, \(\frac { PQ }{ PR } =\frac { 20 }{ 15 } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
\(\frac { PR }{ PS } =\frac { 15 }{ 11.25 } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
Also, \(\frac { QR }{ RS } =\frac { 12 }{ 9 } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
We find \(\frac { PQ }{ PR } =\frac { PR }{ PS } =\frac { QR }{ RS } \)
That is, their corresponding sides are proportional.
∴ By SSS Similarity, ΔPQR ~ ΔPRS

Since, the sectors are cut from an equilateral triangle, the central angle of each of them is 60°.
∴ Area of the shape formed, \(A=3\times \left( \frac { { \theta }^{ 0 } }{ { 360 }^{ 0 } } \times { \pi r }^{ 2 } \right) \)
\(=3\times \frac { { 60 }^{ 0 } }{ { 360 }^{ 0 } } \times \pi \times 5\times 5\)
\(=3\times \frac { 1 }{ 6 } \times \pi \times 5\times 5\)

The first term -xy can be factorized as: (-1) × x × y and
The second term -ay can be factorized as : (-1) × a × y
The common factor for both the terms is -y
Taking out the common factor we get,

Using standard identity: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
Here, a = 7x and b = 5

Given that ∠B = 2/3 x ∠A = 2/3a & given ∠C = ∠A + 20 = a + 20
Since A, B & C are angles of a triangle, they add up to 180° (∆ property)
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
a + 2/3 a + a + 20 = 180°
(3a+2a+3a)/3 + 20 = 180°
8a/3 = 180 – 20 = 160°
\(\frac{160 \times 3}{8} = 60^o\)
\( \angle B = \frac{2}{3}\times \angle A = \frac{2}{\not 3} \times \not 60 = 40^o
\)

2. Mark the point A on CI such that CA = 4 cm.
3. With A and I as centres, draw arcs of radii 6 cm and S.S cm. Let them cut at T. join AT and IT.
4. With C and T as centres, draw arcs of radii 6 cm and 4 cm respectively. Let them cut at Y. Join TY and CY.
5. CITY is the required trapezium.
Calculation of Area:
Area of the trapezium CITY
\(=1 / 2 \times h \times(a+b) \)
\(=1 / 2 \times 6 \times(4+4) \)
\(=1 / 2 \times 6 \times 8=24 \text { sq. } \mathrm{cm} . \)

\(\triangle\) AFI is a right angled triangle
(AI)2 = (AF)2 + (FI)2
252 = (AF)2 + 152
625 = (AF)2 + 225
(AF)2 = 625 - 225
= 400
\(\mathrm{AF}=\sqrt{400}\)
AF = 20ft
\(\triangle\) FRI is a right angled triangle.
(FI)2 + (FR)2 = (RI)2
(FR)2 + 152 = 172
(FR)2 + 225 = 289
(FR)2 = 289 - 225
= 64
\(A R=\sqrt{64}\)
= 8ft
AR = AF+FR
= 20 + 8
= 28 ft
AR = 28 ft

From the figure AC is to be found.
By using Pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = 282 + 212 = 784 + 441 = 1225 = 352
∴ AC = 35 km
28.
(i) From the figure,
x2 = 92 + 402
= 81 + 1600
= 1681
\(x=\sqrt{1681}\)
x = 41
(ii) From the figure
342 = 302 + y2
1156 = 900 + y2
y = 1156 - 900
y2 = 256
\(y=\sqrt{256}\)
y = 16
(iii) From the figure
392 = 362 + z2
1521 = 1296 + Z2
z2 = 1521- 1296
z2 = 225
\(z=\sqrt{225}\)
z = 15

Let x be the initial number of mangoes.
Nurnber of Rotten mangoes = 10%
Number of good mangoes
\(=90 \% \text { of } x=\frac{90}{100} x\)
Percentage of sold mangoes \(=33 \frac{1}{3} \%\)
Percentage of unsold mangoes \(=100-33 \frac{1}{3} \%\)
\(=66 \frac{2}{3} \%\)
\(
\frac{66 \frac{2}{3}}{100} \times \frac{90}{100} x =240
\)
\(\frac{200}{3 \times 100} \times \frac{90}{100} x =240
\)
\(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{10} \times x =240
\)
\(=\frac{240 \times 3 \times 10}{2 \times 9} =400
\)
The vendor bought 400 mangoes initially.

Let the numerator be x and the denominator be y.
The original fraction = x/y
Given the numerator of a fraction is increased by 50%
\(
\therefore \mathrm{Nr} =x+50 \% \text { of } x
\)
\(=x+\frac{50}{100} x=x+\frac{1}{2} x \\
\mathrm{Nr} =\frac{3}{2} x
\)
Also given the denominator is decreased by 20 %
\(
\text { Dr } =y-20 \% \text { of } y
\)
\(=y-\frac{20}{100} y=y-\frac{1}{5} y=\frac{4}{5} y
\)
By given data
\(
\frac{\frac{3}{2} x}{\frac{4}{5} y}=\frac{3}{5} \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} x \times \frac{5}{4 y}=\frac{3}{5}
\)
\(\frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{25}
\)
The original fraction is 8/25

Here, we have to find HCF of 270, 384 and 588
STEP 1: First find the HCF of any two of the given numbers (follow the same step 1, 2 and 3 of the above example). Here, find HCF of (384, 588) first.
STEP 2: The HCF of the first two numbers which is 12 becomes the divisor and the third number 270 becomes the dividend.
STEP 3: Repeat this division process till the remainder becomes zero. The last divisor is the HCF. Here, 6 is the last divisor.
Hence, HCF of 270, 384 and 588 is 6. Therefore, we needs 6 containers so that each of them contains (270 ÷ 6 = 45) 45 ginger chocolates, (384 ÷ 6 = 64) 64 milk chocolates and (588 ÷ 6 = 98) 98 coconut chocolates.

Let the two digit number be xy (i.e., ten’s digit is x, ones digit is y)
Its value can be expressed as 10 x + y.
Given, x + y = 8 which gives y = 8 − x
Therefore its value is 10 x + y
= 10x + 8 − x
= 9x + 8.
The new number is yx with value is 10y + x
= 10(8 − x) + x
= 80 – 9x
Given, when 18 is added to the given number (xy) gives new number (yx)
(9x + 8) + 18 = 80 – 9x
This simplifies to 9x + 9x = 80 – 8 – 18
18x = 54
x = 3 ⇒ y = 8 – 3 = 5
The two digit number is xy = 35

Calculation of area:
Area of the trapezium DEAN = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x h x (a+b) sq. units

Let the C.P of one strawberry box be Rs. x.
Then C.P of 20 strawberry boxes = 20 x and
S.P of 20 strawberry boxes = C.P of 16 strawberry boxes = 16 x
Thus, S.P < C.P, hence there is a loss.
Loss = C.P –S.P = 20 x − 16 x = 4 x
∴ Loss % =\(\left( \frac { Loss }{ C.P } \times 100 \right) \)%
=\(\left( \frac { 4x }{ 20x } \times 100 \right) \)%
= 20 %
