Let AB be the lamp post and CD be the apartment given CD = 66 m = EB.
\( \angle A C E=60^{\circ} \)
\(\angle E C B=\angle C B D=30^{\circ} \)
In the right triangle \(\triangle\)BDC
\(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{C D}{B D}\)
\( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{66}{B D} \)
\(B D=66 \sqrt{3}\)
= 66 x 1.732 = 114.312 m
The distance between the lamp post and the apartment = 114.31 m
Now BD = EC = 114.31 m
In the right triangle \(\triangle\)ACE
\( \tan 60^{\circ} =\frac{A E}{C E} \)
\(\sqrt{3} =\frac{A E}{66 \sqrt{3}} \)
\(A E =66 \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}[\text { From (1)] }\)
= 66 x 3 = 198m
The distance between the lamp post and apartment = 114.31 m.

2x2 - x - 1 = 0 here, a = 2, b = -1, c = -1
α + β = \(\frac {-b}{a} = \frac {-(-1)}{2} = \frac {1}{2}\), αβ = \(\frac {c}{a} = -\frac {1}{2}\)
2α + β, 2β + α
Sum of the roots 2α + β + 2β + α = 3(α + β) = \(3\left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) =\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \)
Product of the roots = (2α + β) (2β + α) = 4αβ + 2α2 + 2β2 + αβ
= 5αβ + 2(α2 + β2) = 5αβ + 2[(α + β)2 - 2αβ]
= \(5\left( -\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) +2\left[ \frac { 1 }{ 4 } -2\times -\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right] \) = 0
The required equation is x2 - (Sum of the roots)x + (Product of the roots) = 0
x2 - \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } x\) + 0 = 0 gives 2x2 - 3x = 0

\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{13}{46}\)
(ii) Let B be the event of getting queen of red card
n(B) = 0 (Removed red queens)
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=0\)
(iii) Let C be the event of getting a king of black card
n(C) = 1
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})=\frac{n(C)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{46}\)
20.
Let a, b be the intercepts
Given, Sum of the intercept a + b = 1 .........(1)
Product of the intercepts ab = -6 .........(2)
\(b=\frac{-6}{a}\)
Substituting in (1)
\(a-\frac{6}{a}=1\)
a2 - a - 6 = 0
(a - 3)(a + 2) = 0
a = -2, 3
When a = -2, \(b=\frac{-6}{-2}=3\)
When a = 3 , \(b=\frac{-6}{-2}=-2\)
Equation of the line in intercepts form is
\(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\)
(i) a = -2, b = 3 \(\Rightarrow \frac{x}{-2}+\frac{y}{3}=1\)
3x - 2y + 6 = 0
(ii) a = 3,b = -2 \(\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{-2}=1\)
-2x + 3y + 6 = 0
= 2x - 3y - 6 = 0
21.
Given lines are 5x - 6y - 2 and 3x + 2y = 10.
Let us solve the equations to get the point of intersection
\(x=\frac{32}{14}=\frac{16}{7} \)
Substituting \(x=\frac{16}{7} \text { in }(2) \)
\(3\left(\frac{16}{7}\right)+2 y =10 \)
\(2 y =10-\frac{48}{7}=\frac{22}{7} \)
\(y =\frac{11}{7} \)
The point of intersection is \(\left(\frac{16}{7}, \frac{11}{7}\right)\)
Slope of the line 4x - 7y + 13 = 0 is
\(-\frac{a}{b}=\frac{-4}{-7}=\frac{4}{7}\)
Slope of the perpendicular line is \(-\frac{7}{4}\)
Now, equation of the line passing through \(\left(\frac{16}{7}, \frac{11}{7}\right)\) and having slope \(m=-\frac{7}{4}\) is
\(y-y_{1} =m\left(x-x_{1}\right) \)
\(y-\frac{11}{7} =\frac{-7}{4}\left(x-\frac{16}{7}\right) \)
\(\frac{7 y-11}{7} =\frac{-7 x}{4}+4 \)
28y - 44 = -49x + 112
49x + 28y - 156 = 0
22.
Given that AB = 13, AC = 14 and BC = 15
Let BD = x and DC = y
Using Ceva’s theorem, we have, \(\frac { BD }{ DC } \times \frac { CE }{ EA } \times \frac { AF }{ FB } =1\)
Substitute the values of \(\frac { AF }{ FB } \ and \ \frac { CE }{ EA } \) in (1)
we have \(\frac { BD }{ DC } \times \frac { 5 }{ 8 } \times \frac { 2 }{ 5 } =1\)
\(\frac { x }{ y } \times \frac { 10 }{ 40 } =1\) we get \(\frac { x }{ y } \times \frac { 1 }{ 4 } \), Hence x = 4y ...(2)
BC = BD + DC = 15 so, x + y = 15 ..(3)
From (2), using x = 4y in (3) we get, 4y + y = 15 gives 5y = 15 then y = 3
Substitute y = 3 in (3) we get, x = 12. Hence BD = 12, DC = 3.
23.
Let h and r be the height and radius of the cylinder respectively.
Given that, h = 15 cm, r = 6 cm
Volume of the container V = \(\pi\)r2h cubic units.
Let, r1 = 3 cm, h1 = 9 cm be the radius and height of the cone.
Also, r1 = 3 cm is the radius of the hemispherical cap.
Volume of one ice cream cone = (Volume of the cone + Volume of the hemispherical cap)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }{ h }_{ 1 }+\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \pi { r }_{ 1 }^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 3\times 3\times 9+\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 3\times 3\times 3\)
\(=\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 9(3+2)=\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 45\)
\(Number\ of\ cones=\frac { volume\ of\ the\ cylinder }{ volume\ of\ one\ ice\ cream\ cone } \)
Number of ice cream cones needed \(=\frac { \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 6\times 6\times 15 }{ \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 45 } =12\)
Thus 12 ice cream cones are required to empty the cylindrical container.

f(x) = x2, g(x) = 3x, h(x) = x - 2
f o g = f [g(x)] = f (3x)
= (3x)2 - 9x2
(f o g) o h = (f o g) [h (x)] = (f o g) [x - 2]
= 9 ( x - 2)2
g o h = g [h (x)] = g[x - 2] = 3 (x - 2)
f o (g o h) = f [g (h(x))]
= f [3(x - 2)] = [3(x - 2))]2 = 9 (x - 2)2
(f o g) o h = f o( g o h)
Hence proved.

Let r1, r2 be the radii of two cones,
Given r1 = r1 and let h1, h2 be the heights of two
V1 = Volumes of I cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r_{1}^{2} h_{1}=\frac{\pi}{3} r_{1}^{2} h\)
= 3600 cm3
V2 = Volume of II cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r_{2}^{2} h_{2}=5040 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)
\(Now, \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{3600}{5040} \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{\pi}{3} r_{1}^{2} h_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{3} r_{2}^{2} h_{2}}=\frac{3600}{5040}\left[\because r_{1}=r_{2}\right]. \)
\(\frac{h_{1}}{h_{2}}=\frac{5}{7}=5: 7\)

Pari: time required to complete the work = 4 hrs.
∴ In 1 hr. he will complete =\(\frac{1}{4}\) of the work.
=\(\frac{1}{4}\)w
Yuvan: Time required to complete the work = 6 hrs.
∴ In 1 hr. he will complete the \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the work
=\(\frac{1}{6}\)w
Working together, in 1 hr. they will complete \(\frac { w }{ 4 } +\frac { w }{ 6 } \) of the work.
\(=\frac { 6w+4w }{ 24 } =\frac { 5 }{ 12 } \)
∴ To complete the total work tame taken
\(=\frac { w }{ \frac { 5 }{ 12 } w } =\frac { 12 }{ 5 } =2.5\)hrs

Let Sarah's house is at A and James's house is at 'B' from the picture.
Distance between Sarah's house to James house through Street B and C
= 1.5 miles + 2 miles = 3.5 miles
Distance through street C is AC2 = AB2 + BC2

AC2 = = (1.5)2 + (2),
= 2.25 + 4
= 6.25
\(A C=\sqrt{6.25}=2.5\)
AC = 2.5 miles
Difference between two paths = 3.5 - 2.5 = 1 mile
Direct path along C street is 1 mile shorter
30.

Since, \(\triangle\)QAQC is a right triangle at C, AQ2 = AC2 + QC2 ...(1)
Also, \(\triangle\)BPC is a right triangle at C, BP2 = BC2+ CP2 ...(2)
\(\triangle\) ABCC is a right triangle at C, AB2 = AC2 + BC2 ....(3)
From (1) and (2), AQ2+ BP2 = AC2+ QC2 + BC2 + CP2
4(AQ2 + BP2) = 4AC2 + 4QC2 + 4BC2 + 4CP2
= 4AC2 + (2QC)2+ ABC2 + (2CP)2
= 4AC2 + BC2 + 4BC2 + AC2 (Since P and Q are mid points)
= 5(AC2 + BC2) (From equation (3))
4(AQ2 + BP2) = 5AB2

Let us take the four terms in the form (a - 3d), (a -d), (a + d) and (a + 3d).
Since sum of the four terms is 28,
a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a + 3d = 28
4a = 28 gives a = 7
Similarly, since sum of their squares is 276,
(a - 3d)2 + (a - d)2 + (a + d)2 + (a + 3d)2 = 276
a2 - 6ad + 9d2 + a2 - 2ad + d2 + a2 + 2ad + d2 + a2 + 6ad + 9d2 = 276
4a2 + 20d2 = 276 \(\Rightarrow\) 4(7)2 + 20d2 = 276
d2 = 4 gives d = \(\pm\)2
If d = 2 then the four numbers are 7 - 3(2), 7 - 2, 7 + 2, 7 + 3(2)
That is the four numbers are 1,5,9 and 13.
If a = 7, d = -2 then the four numbers are 13,9, 5 and 1
Therefore, the four consecutive terms of the A.P are 1, 5, 9 and 13

Let the assumed mean A = 31
| xi | \(\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{A} \) \(\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-31 \) |
\(\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}\) |
| 24 | -7 | 49 |
| 26 | -5 | 25 |
| 29 | -2 | 4 |
| 31 | 0 | 0 |
| 33 | 2 | 4 |
| 37 | 6 | 36 |
| \(\Sigma d_{i}\) = -6 | \(\Sigma d_{i}^{2}\) = 118 |
\(\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{118}{6}-\left(\frac{-6}{6}\right)^{2}} \)
\(\sigma=\sqrt{19.67-(-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{19.7-1} \)
\(\sigma=\sqrt{18.67}=4.3 \)
\(\text { Mean } \ \bar{x} =\frac{\sum x_{i}}{N} \)
\(\text { Mean } \ \bar{x} =\frac{24+26+29+31+33+37}{6} \)
\(\bar{x} =\frac{180}{6}=30 \)
Now co- efficient of variation C.V \(=\frac{\sigma}{x} \times 100 \%\)
\(\mathrm{C.V}=\frac{4.3}{30} \times 100 \%=0.1433 \times 100 \%\)
= 14.33 %
Co-efficient of variation of the given data
= 14.33 %
38.
Standard deviation \(\sigma=6.5\)
Mean \(\bar{x}=12.5\)
Coefficient of variation C.V \(=\frac{\sigma}{x} \times 100 \%
\)
\(=\frac{6.5}{12.5} \times 100 \%
\)
\(=\frac{65}{125} \times 100 \%
\)
\(=\frac{13}{25} \times 100 \%
\)
= 52 %
Co-efficient of variation is 52%

f(x) = x - 6, g(x) = x2
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x2) = x2 - 6 ...(1)
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(f(x)) = g(x - 6) = (x - 6)2
= x2 - 12x + 36
fog(x) ≠ gof

Let the radius of the sphere be 'r' cm
Surface area = \(4 \pi r^{2}\)
when radius is increased by 25% ,then new diameter = r + 25% + r
\(=r+\frac{25 r}{100}=\frac{5 r}{4}\)
Surface area of new sphere
\(=4 \pi\left(\frac{5 r}{4}\right)^{2} \)
\(=4 \pi\left(\frac{25 r^{2}}{16}\right) \)
\(=\frac{25 \pi r^{2}}{4} \)
Increase in surface area = \(\frac{25 \pi r^{2}}{4}-4 \pi r^{2}\)
\(=\frac{25 \pi r^{2}-16 \pi r^{2}}{4} \)
\(=\frac{9 \pi r^{2}}{4} \)
Percentage increase in surface area
\(=\frac{9 \pi r^{2} / 4}{4 \pi r^{2}} \times 100 \% \)
\(=\frac{900}{16} \%=56.25 \% \)

In \(\triangle\)ABC, AD is the bisector of \(\angle\)A
Therefore by Angle Bisector of \(\angle\)A
\(\frac { AB }{ AC } =\frac { BD }{ DC } \)
\(\frac{4}{3}=\frac{6}{A C}\) gives 4AC = 18. Hence, AC \(=\frac{9}{2}=4.5 \mathrm{~cm}\)

\(\sqrt { \frac { 1+cos\theta }{ 1-cos\theta } } \)=\(\sqrt { \frac { 1+cos\theta }{ 1-cos\theta } \times \frac { 1+cos\theta }{ 1+cos\theta } } \) [multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of 1 - cos\(\theta \)]
=\(\sqrt { \frac { (1+cos\theta { ) }^{ 2 } }{ (1-cos\theta { ) }^{ 2 } } } \) =\(\frac { 1+cos\theta }{ \sqrt { si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta } } \) [since sin2\(\theta \) + cos2\(\theta \) = 1]
=\(\frac { 1+cos\theta }{ sin\theta } =cosec\theta +cot\theta \)

Step 1 : Draw the graph of y = x2 - 4x + 3 by preparing the table of values as below
| x | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| y | 15 | 8 | 3 | 0 | -1 | 0 | 3 |
Step 2 : To solve x2 - 6x + 9 = 0, subtract x2 - 6x + 9 = 0 from y = x2 - 4x + 3

The equation y = 2x - 6 represent a straight line. Draw the graph of y = 2x - 6 forming the table of values as below.
| x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| y | -6 | -4 | -2 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
The line y = 2x - 6 intersect y = x2 - 4x + 3 only at one point.
Step 3 : Mark the point of intersection of the curve y = x2 - 4x + 3 and y = 2x - 6 that is (3,0).
Therefore, the x coordinate 3 is the only solution for the equation x2 - 6x + 9 = 0

Step 1 : Draw the graph of y = x2 + x - 2 by preparing the table of values as below
| x | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| y | 4 | 0 | -2 | -2 | 0 | 4 |
Step 2 : To solve x2 + x - 2 = 0 subtract x2 + x - 2 = 0 from y = x2 + x - 2

The equation y = 0 represents the X axis.
Step 3 : Mark the point of intersection of the curve x2 + x - 2 with the X axis. That is (–2,0) and (1,0)
Step 4 : The x coordinates of the respective points form the solution set {−2,1} for x2 + x - 2 = 0
