Geetha told her classmate Radha that "\(\sqrt { \frac { \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) }{ \left( \sqrt { 2 } +1 \right) } } \) is an irrational number." Radha replied that "you are wrong" and further claimed that "If there is a number 'x' such that x3 is an irrational number, then x5 is also irrational". Geetha said, "No Radha, you are wrong". Radha took some time and after verification accepted her mistakes and thanked Geetha for pointing out these mistakes.
(i) Justify both the statements.
(ii) What value is depicted from this question?
1.

Since from a point \({ \bot }^{ r }\) line is the shortest.
CF\({ \bot }\) AB
\(\therefore\) CF < AC and CF < BC ...(1)
Similarly, BCis a line segment and A does not lie on
it. AD \({ \bot }\) BC
\(\therefore\) AD < AB and AD < AC ...(2)
Also, AC a line segment and B does not lie on it.
BE\({ \bot }\)AC
\(\therefore\) BE < AB and BE < BC ...(3)
Adding (I), (2) and (3), we get
2(AD + BE + CF) < 2(AB + BC + CA)
\(\therefore\) AB + BC + CA > AD + BE + CF
i.e., Perimeter is greater than the sum of three altitudes. Proved.
2.
Given PQ||Rs are cut by a transversal t at A and B respectively. AC and BD are the trisector of a pair of alterna int \(\angle S,\angle PAB\ and\angle ABS\) respectively.

To prove AC||BD
Prove since PQ||RS and t is a traversal we have
\(\angle PAB=\angle ABS [Alt. Int\angle S]\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\angle PAB=\frac{1}{2}\angle ABS\)
\(\Rightarrow \angle CAB=\angle ABD\)
But these are alternate interior angles formed when the transversal AB cuts AC and BD.
\(\therefore AC||BD\)
3.
The linear equation is 2x+ky=8
At x=2,y=1,
2(2)+k(1)=8
\(\Rightarrow\)4+k=8
k=4
If x=4, then
\(\Rightarrow\) 2(4)+4y=8
\(\Rightarrow\) 8+4y=8
\(\Rightarrow\) 4y=0
\(\therefore y=0\)
4.
(i) Each edge of the cubical box (a) = 10 cm
\(\therefore \) Lateral surface area of the cubical box
= 4a2 = 4(10)2 = 400 cm2.
For cuboidal box
l = 12.5 cm, b = 10 cm,
h = 8 cm
\(\therefore \) Lateral surface area of the cuboidal box
= 2(l + b)h
= 2(12.5 + 10)(8) = 360 cm2.
Cubical box has the greater lateral surface area than the cuboidal box by (400 - 360)cm2,
i.e., 40 cm2.
(ii) Total surface area of the cubical box = 6a2
= 6(10)2 = 600 cm2
Total surface area of the cuboidal box
= 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[(12.5)(10) + (10)(8) + (8)(12.5)]
= 2[125 + 80 + 100] = 610 cm2.
Cubical box has the smaller total surface area than the cuboidal box by (610 - 600) cm2, i.e., 10 cm2.
5.
Given: Diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at P.
To Prove: \(ar(\Delta APB)\times ar(\Delta CPD)=ar(\Delta APD)\times ar(\Delta BPC)\)
Construction: From A and C, draw perpendiculars AE and CF respectively to BD.

\(ar(\Delta APB)\times ar(\Delta CPD)\)=\(\frac { (PB)(AE) }{ 2 } \times \left( \frac { DP\times CF }{ 2 } \right) \)
|Area of \(\Delta\)=\(\frac { Base\times Corresponding\ altitude }{ 2 } \)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 4 } (PB)(AE)(DP)(CF)\quad \quad ....(1)\)
\(\\ ar(\Delta APD)\times ar(\Delta BPC)\)
\(\\ =\frac { (DP)(AE) }{ 2 } \times \frac { (PB)(CF) }{ 2 }\)
\( \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } (PB)(AE)(DP)(CF)\quad \quad ....(2)\)
From (1) and (2),
\(ar(\Delta APD)\times ar(\Delta BPC)\)
6.
a=5, b=4
7.
The decimal expansion is terminating.
0.3796 is a rational number.
8.
Equation 2x-3y=12
or 3y=2x-12
\(\therefore \ y=\frac{2x-12}{3}\)
On x-axis y=0
\(\Rightarrow x=6 \)
At point(6,0) the given line cuts the x-axis
On y-axis x=0
\(\therefore \ y=\frac{2\times0-12}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow y=-4\)
At point(0,-4) the given line cuts the y-axis

Let ABCD is a parallelogram
To show LMNO is a rectangle,
ㄥA+ㄥD=180°
\(\frac{1}{2}\)ㄥA+\(\frac{1}{2}\)ㄥD=90°
ㄥOAD+ㄥODA=90°
In ΔOAD,
ㄥOAD+ㄥADO+ㄥDOA=180°
⇒ ㄥDOA = 90°
⇒ ㄥLON = 90°
Similarly, ㄥOLM =ㄥLMN =ㄥMNO = 90°

ஃ A quadrilateral with all angles 90° is a rectangle. Also opposite angles are equal. It is rectangle.
18.
Factor of 6 = (\(\pm \)1,\(\pm \)2,\(\pm \)3,\(\pm \)6)
p(x)=x3+2x2-5x-6
p(-1)=(-1)3+2(-1)2-5(-1)-6
=-1+2+5-6
=7-7=0
\(\because\) x = -1 is zero of p(x) of (x+1) is a factor of p(x)
\(\therefore\) x3+2x2-5x-6
=x2(x+1)+x(x+1)-6(x+1)
=(x+1)[x2+x-6]
=(x+1)[x2+3x-2x-6]
=(x+1)[x(x+3)-2(x+3)]
=(x+1)(x+3)(x-2)
19.
Let the base radius and height of the cylinder be r cm and h cm respectively.
Then,
\(2 \pi r=22\)
\(\Rightarrow 2\times \frac{22}{7}\times r=22\)
\(\Rightarrow r=\frac{7}{2}cm\)
h = 22 cm
ஃ Volume of the cylinder
\(=\pi r^2h\)
\(=\frac{22}{7}. \frac{7}{2}.\frac{7}{2}.22\)
= 847 cm3

Proof: In \(\triangle\) PQR,
PQ =PR
\(\angle\) PQR = \(\angle\)PRQ
(Angles opp. to equal sides are equal) ...(i)
In \(\triangle\)PQS, \(\angle\)PQR > \(\angle\)PSQ
(Ext. angle of a 6 is greater than each of interior opp. angle)
\(\angle\)PRQ > \(\angle\)PSQ, using (i)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle\)PRS >\(\angle\)PSR \(\Rightarrow\) PS > PR
PS>PQ (\(\because\) PR = PQ)
(Side opp. to greater angle is larger)

\(\sqrt { \frac { \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) }{ \left( \sqrt { 2 } +1 \right) } } \)is an irrational number.
\(\sqrt { \frac { \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) }{ \left( \sqrt { 2 } +1 \right) } } =\sqrt { \frac { \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) }{ \left( \sqrt { 2 } +1 \right) } \times \frac { \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) }{ \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) } } \)
\(=\sqrt { \frac { { \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) }^{ 2 } }{ 2-1 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { \frac { { \left( \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right) }^{ 2 } }{ 1 } } =\sqrt { 2 } -1\)
which is an irrational number.
Let, there is a number x such that x3 is an irrational number but x5 is a rational number.
Let, x =\(\sqrt[5]{7}\) be the number.
⇒ x3 = (5√7)3 = (7)3/5
is an irrational number.
But x5 = (\(\sqrt[5]{7}\))5=(7)5/5 = 7
=7 is a rational number.
