(b) The person who makes small angle of elevation is more closer to the balloon. Hence, Shyam
is more closer to the balloon.
(c) Windows are most important part of any building they add value to it.
They are useful for the proper ventilation, which is very much required as natural air,
keeps the building freah and suffocation free.
(d) No, when the balloon is moving towards the building then the angle of elevation will

Perimeter of the larger square Perimeter of the smaller square = 24 m
4x Perimeter of the smaller square = 24
Perimeter of the smaller square = ( 4 x 24 ) m
Side of the smaller square =
4 x 24
= ( x 6) m

According to the question,

Area of the larger square + Area of the smaller square = 468 m2
x 2 + ( x 6 ) = 468
x 2 + x 2 12 x 432 = 0
2 x 2 12 x 432 = 0
x 2 6 x 216 = 0
x 2 18 x + 12 x 216 = 0
x ( x 18) + 12 ( x 18 ) = 0
( x 18)( x + 12 ) = 0
x = 18, 12
x = 12 is inadmissible as x is the length of a side which cannot be negative.

x = 18
x 6 = 12
and
Hence, the sides of the two squares are 18 m and 12 m.

x = 18, 12
x = 12 is inadmissible as x is the length of a side which cannot be negative.

x = 18

x 6 = 12
Hence, the sides of the two squares are 18 m and 12 m.

29. (i) Here, amount form an AP.
First term, a = Labour charge for first meter = `150
Since Labour charge increasing by `50 for each subsequent meters.
d = 50
Total depth = 10 m
Labour charge for 10 m = a + ( n 1) d

= 150 + (10 1) x 50 = 150 + 9 x 50
= 150 + 450 = 600
Hence `600 should be paid to the labours.

Proof :Clearly
OP = OQ

Now,
OQ = OR + RQ
OQ> OR
OQ> OP
[OP = OQ]
OP <OQ
Thus, OP is shorter than any segment joining O to any point of AB.
So, OP is perpendicular to AB.

Volume = R 2 H = ( 6 ) ( 8 ) = 96 cm3

Volume of remaining solid = Volume of cylinder Volume of cone

= 192 x 3.1416 = 603.1872 cm3
Curved Surface area of the cylinder = 2 rh
= 2 ( 6 )( 8 ) = 96 cm2
Area of the base of cylinder = r 2 = ( 6 ) = 36 cm2

Slant height of the cone (L) =
R 2 + H2 =
62 + 82 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10 cm
Curved surface area of the cone = RL = ( 6 )(10 ) = 60 cm2

Now, total surface area of the remaining solid
= Curved surface area of the cylinder + Area of the base of the cylinder
+ Curved surface area of the cone

Three years hence, age of the son = ( x + 3) years.
Three years hence, mans age = 4 ( x + 3) years
Present age of man = 4 ( x + 3) 3 years = ( 4 x + 9 ) years
Two years ago, mans age = ( 4 x + 9 2 ) years = ( 4 x + 7 ) years

Last term ( l ) = 96
Let total number of two digit numbers between 6 and 102, is n.
l = a + ( n 1) d
96 = 12 + ( n 1) 6
( n 1) 6 = 96 12
( n 1) 6 = 84
n 1 =

n = 15
Hence, there are 15 numbers between 6 and 102 which are divisible by 6.

x+z =6
.(iii)
Subtracting eq. (ii) from eq. (i), we get,
xz =2
.(iv)
Solving eq. (iv) and eq. (iii), we get,
x = 4, z = 2
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get,
y =5
x = 4, y = 5, z = 2
