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.

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.

(x - 7)2 + (y - 1)2 = (x - 3)2 + (y - 5)2
x2- 14x + 49 + y - 2y + 1 = x2- 6x + 9 + y -10y + 25
x - y = 2
Which is the required relation.

P(A) = 0.37, P(B) = 0.42, P(A∩B) = 0.09
P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
P(AUB) = 0.37 + 0.42 - 0.09 = 0.7
22.
Compare x2 + 2x - 2 with the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = 2, c = -2
x = \({-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\)
substituting the values of a, b and c in the formula we get,
x = \(\frac { -2\pm \sqrt { { \left( 2 \right) }^{ 2 }-4\left( 1 \right) \left( -2 \right) } }{ 2\left( 1 \right) } =\frac { -2\pm \sqrt { 12 } }{ 2 } =-1\pm \sqrt { 3 } \)
Therefore, x = \(-1+\sqrt { 3 } , -1-\sqrt { 3 } \)
23.

\(=\frac{\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta}=\frac{1}{\sin \theta \cos \theta} \)
\(=\frac{1}{\sin \theta} \times \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \)

Let the radii of two cones be r1 and r2 and heights be h1 and h2
Given ratio of their radii = \(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\)
\(r_{1}=\frac{r_{2}}{3}
\)
\(h_{1}=3 r_{1}, h_{2}=3 r_{1}
\)
[ r1 is the radius of smaller cone]
Slant heights \(l_{1} =\sqrt{h_{1}^{2}+r_{1}^{2}}
\)
\(=\sqrt{9 r_{1}^{2}+r_{1}^{2}}=\sqrt{10} r_{1}
\)
\(l_{2} =\sqrt{h_{2}^{2}+r_{2}^{2}}
\)
\(=\sqrt{9 r_{1}^{2}+9 r_{1}^{2}}=\sqrt{18 r_{1}^{2}}=3 \sqrt{2} r_{1}\)
Ratio of curved surface areas
\(=\frac{\text { CSA of I cone }}{\text { CSA of II cone }}
\)
\(=\frac{\pi r_{1} l_{1}}{\pi r_{2} l_{2}} =\frac{r_{1}\left(\sqrt{10} r_{1}\right)}{\left(3 r_{1}\right)\left(3 \sqrt{2} r_{1}\right)}
\)
\(=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{9 \sqrt{2}}= \frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{2}}{9 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{9}
\)
Ratio of C.S.A = \(\sqrt{5}: 9\)
27.
It is not a function. Since, a vertical line intersects the curve at more than one points.

A x B = {(3,1), (3,7), (3,10), (4,1), (4,7), (4,10), (7,1), (7,7), (7,10), (8,1), (8,7), (8,10)}
We note that, R1 ⊆ A x B. Thus, R1 is a relation from A to B.
29.
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
30.
Let BC be the height of the tower and CD be the height of the pole
Let ‘A’ be the point of observation.
Let BC = x and AB = y.
From the diagram,
ㄥBAD = 60° and ㄥXCA = 45° = ㄥBAC
In right triangle ABC, tan 45o = \(\frac{BC}{AB}\)
gives 1 = \(\frac{x}{y}\) so, x = y ...(1)
In right triangle ABD, tan60° = \(\frac{BC}{AB}\) = \(\frac{BC+CD}{AB}\)
gives \(\sqrt3\) = \(\frac{x+5}{y}\) so, \(\sqrt3\)y = x + 5
we get \(\sqrt3\) x = x + 5 [From (1)]
so, \(\frac { 5 }{ \sqrt { 3 } -1 } =\frac { 5 }{ \sqrt { 3 } -1 } \times \frac { \sqrt { 3 } +1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } +1 } =\frac { 5(1.732+1) }{ 2 } \) = 6.83
Hence, height of the tower is 6.83 m.
31.
We are given that sin 3A = cos (A - 26°) ...(1)
Since sin 3A = cos(90° - 3A) we can write (1) as
cos (90° - 3A) = cos (A - 26°)
Since 90° - 3A and A - 26° are both acute angles
90° - 3A = A - 26°
which gives A = 29°
32.

33.
Let P and Q be the points of trisection at AB.
i.e., AP = PQ = QB

Therefore, P divides AB internally in the ratio 1:2. Therefore, the coordinates at P, by applying the section formula, are
\(\left[ \frac { 1(-7)+2(2) }{ 1+2 } ,\frac { 1(7)+2(-2) }{ 1+2 } \right] \) i.e., (-1,10)
Now, Q also divides AB internally in the ratio 2:1, so, the coordinates at Q are
\(\left[ \frac { 2(-7)+1(2) }{ 2+1 } ,\frac { 2(4)+(-2) }{ 2+1 } \right] \) i.e., (-4,2)
Therefore, the coordinates at the points at trisection of the line segment joining A and B are (-1, 0) and (-4, 2).

Given the number 107,
It is a positive odd integer.
Let a = 107 and b = 4
Applying division algorithm we have,
107 = 4q + r where 0 < r < 4
The possible r = 0, 1, 2, 3.
But 107 is odd, the remainders cannot be 0 or 2.
i.e. 4q or 4q + 2 is not possible to express 107.
The other possibilities are 4q + 1 or 4q + 3
Suppose 4q + 1 = 107
4q = 107- 1
= 105
\(q=\frac{106}{4}\) not a natural numbers
Only possibility is 107 = 4q + 3.
107 - 4q + 3
4q = 107 - 3 = 104
\(q=\frac{104}{4}=26\)
q = 26

Area of the flower bed = a2
Area of the gravel path = 100 - a2
Area of total garden = 100
given cost of flower bed + gravelling = Rs.364
3a2 + 4 (100 - a2) = Rs.364
3a2 + 400 - 4a2 = 364
∴ a2 = 400-364
= 36 ⇒ a = 6
∴ width of gravel path \(=\frac { 10-6 }{ 2 } =\frac { 4 }{ 2 } =2cm\)

Clearly the ladder AC make a right triangle with the wall AB force at a distance BC. \(\angle\)B - 90o

By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
52 = 42 + BC2
BC2 = 25 - 16
BC2 = 9
BC = 3m
If C moves 1.6 m towards the wall BC becomes
3m - 1.6m = 1.4m
Now in \(\triangle\)ABC
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
52 = AB2 +(1.4)2
25 - 1.96 = AB2
AB2 = 23.04
AB = 4.8m
The new height of the wall = 4.8 m
Difference =4.8 - 4 = -0.8m
The ladder would be placed 0.8 m upward the wall.

Let the first aeroplane starts from O and goes upto A towards north, (Distance=Speed × time)
where \(OA=\left( 100\times \frac { 3 }{ 2 } \right) km=1500km\)
Let the second aeroplane starts from O at the same time and goes upto B towards west,
where \(OB=(1200\times \frac { 3 }{ 2 } )=1800km\)
The required distance to be found is BA.
In right angled triangle AOB, AOB, AB2 = OA2 + OB2
AB2 = (1500)2 + (1800)2 = 1002 (152 +182)
= 1002 x 549 = 1002 x 9 x 61
\(AB=100\times 3\times \sqrt { 61 } =300\sqrt { 61 } kms.\)

y = ax + b; x = forehand length; y = height
| X | Y |
| 35 | 56 |
| 45 | 65 |
| 50 | 69.5 |
| 55 | 74 |
For all the x-values, there is an image which is 'y
Moreover, the difference between two consecutive 'y' values is constant
In y = ax + b,
(i) The Relation
R = { (35, 56), (45, 65), (50, 69.5), (55, 74) } is a function
(ii) In y = ax + b
when x = 35,y = 56
56 = 35a + b ..............(1)
when x = 45,y = 65
65 = 45a + b ..............(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get a = 0.90 and b = 24.5
(iii) Given, forehand length is 40 cm
i.e., when x = 40,y = ax + b
So, y = (0.90) (40) + 24.5 = 60.5
Height of person is 60.5 inches.
(iv) Given height is 53.3 inches
i.e. when y = 53.3, x = ?
53.3 = 0.9x + 24.5
53.3 - 24.5 = 0.9x
x = \(\frac{28.8}{0.9}\)
x = 32 cm
Length of forehand is 32 cm.

(2x-3)(x+2)=0
2x2 - 3x + 4x - 6 = 0
2x2 + 1x-6 = 0
Let y = 2x2 +X - 6= 0
| x | -4 | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| x2 | 16 | 9 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 |
| 2x2 | 32 | 18 | 8 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 18 | 32 |
| x | -4 | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| -6 | -6 | -6 | -6 | -6 | -6 | -6 | -6 | -6 | -6 |
| y=x2-x-6 | 22 | 9 | 0 | -5 | -6 | -3 | -4 | 15 | 30 |
Step 2:
The points to be plotted: (-4,22), (-3, 9), (-2, 0), (-1, -5), (0, -6), (1, -3), (2,4), (3,15), (4, 30)
Step 3:
Draw. the parabola and mark the co-ordinates of the intersecting point of the parabola with the x-axis.
Step 4:
The points of intersection of the parabola with the x-axis are (-2, 0) and (1.5,0).
Since the parabola intersects the x-axis at two points, the equation has real and unequal roots
∴ Solution {-2, 1.5}

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.

Step (4)Drawn a perpendicular bisector to QR, which intersects QF at 'O' and QR at G.
Step (5) With O as centre and OQ as radius, draw a circle
Step (6) From G marked arcs of radius 4.4 cm on the circle. Marked them as P and S.
Step (7) Joined QP and PR. Now \(\triangle\)PQR is the required triangle
Step (8) From P draw a line PN which is \(\bot \) to LR. LR meets PN at M.
Step (9) The length of the altitude is PM = 2.1cm
