ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS 2x1=2

19) (d) If Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.


20) (c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
SECTION B 5 x 2 = 10
21) 0, -4, -8, -12, .....
a1 = 0, a2 = -4
d = a2 - a1 = -4 - 0
d = -4
d = a3 - a2 = -8 - (-4) = -8 + 4
d = -4
Here d is constant.
∴ Given set of numbers form an AP.

Further three terms are:


-12 - 4 = -16
-16 - 4 = -20
-20 - 4 = -24
∴ Next three terms are: -16, -20, -24.

22) Let P(x, y) be equidistant from the points A(7, 1) and B(3, 5). We are given that AP = BP. So, AP2 = BP2
i.e., (x – 7)2 + (y – 1)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y – 5)2
i.e., x2 – 14x + 49 + y2 – 2y + 1 = x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 – 10y + 25
i.e., x – y = 2
which is the required relation.
23) If the number 4n , for any n, were to end with the digit zero, then it would be divisible by 5. That is, the prime
factorisation of 4n would contain the prime 5. This is not possible because 4n = (2)2n ; so the only prime in the
factorisation of 4n is 2. So, the uniqueness of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic guarantees that there are no
other primes in the factorisation of 4n . So, there is no natural number n for which 4n ends with the digit zero.
You have already learnt how to find the HCF and LCM of two positive integers using the Fundamental Theorem of
Arithmetic in earlier classes, without realising it. This method is also called the prime factorisation method. Let us
recall this method through an example.
24) a)
Given equation (x-3)(2x+1)=x(x+5)
2x2 + x - 6x - 3 = x2 + 5x
⇒ 2x
2 + x - 6x - 3 - x2 - 5x = 0

⇒ x
2 - 10x - 3 = 0 has its highest power 2

Hence it is a quadratic equation.


(OR)

b) 2 1
2x − x + = 0
8
2
16x −8x+1
= 0
8

16x2-4x-4x+1=0
4x(4x+1)-1(4x-1)=0
(4x-1)(4x-1)=0
4x-1=0 or 4x-1=0
1 1
x = or x =
4 4
1 1
Hence the roots are, 4
,
4

25) a)
0, √5

Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and ß


b
Given α + B = 0 = −
a
c
αβ = √5 =
a

If a = 1, b = 0, c = √5
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is x
2
+ √5
(OR)

b) Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and ß


b
Given α + β = −
a
= 1
c
αβ = = 1
a

If a = 1, b = -1, and c = 1
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is x2 – x +1.
SECTION C 6 x 3 = 18
26) 6 +√2
if possible let a = 6 +√2 be a rational number.
Squaring a2 = (6 + √2)2
a2 =38 + 12√2
2
a −38
√2 = − (1)
12
2
a −38
Since a is a rational number the expression 12
is also rational number.
⇒ √2 is a rational number.
This is a contradiction. Hence, 6 +√2 is irrational.
Hence proved.
27) Let p(t) = t2 - 15 = t2 - −− 2
(√15 )
−− −−
= (t - √15 )(t + √15 ) [∵ a2 - b2 = (a - b) (a + b)]
To find zeroes, put p(t) = 0
−− −−
⇒ (t − √15 )(t + √15 ) = 0
−− −− −− −−
⇒ t − √15 = 0 or t + √15 = 0 ⇒ t = √15 or t = -√15
−− −−
Hence, zeroes of the given polynomial are -√15 and √15 .
Verification
−− −−
Hence, sum of zeroes = -√15 + √15 = 0 = -(0/1)
C oef f icient of t
= − 2
C oef f icient of t
−− −− −15
and product of zeroes = -√15 × √15 = -15 = 1
C onstant term
=
2
C oef f icient of t

So, the relationship between the zeroes and its coefficients is verified.
28) Given, △ABE ≅ △AC D
⇒ AB = AC and AE = AD [by CPCT]
AB
⇒ = 1
AC
AD
and = 1
AE
AB AD
⇒ = .... (i)
AC AE

In △ADE and △ABC , we have


AD AB
= [from Eq.(i)]
AE AC
AD AE
⇒ =
AB AC

and ∠DAE = ∠BAC [common angle]


∴ △ADE ∼ △ABC [by SAS similarity criterion]
Hence proved.
29) Let P(x,y) is equidistant from the point A(3,2) and B(2,-3)
⇒ |PA| = |PB|
−−−−−−−−−−−−−− −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
2 2 2
⇒ √(x − 3) + (y−2)
2
= √(x − 2) + (y + 3)

Squaring both sides, we have


⇒ x2+9-6x+y2+4-4y
=x2+4-4x+y2+9+6y
⇒ 13-6x-4y=13-4x+6y
⇒ -6x-4y+4x-6y=0
⇒ -2x-10y=0
⇒ x+5y=0
30) a)
Here, S14 = 1050, n = 14, a = 10.
n
As Sn = [2a + (n − 1)d]
2
14
So, 1050 = [20 + 13d] = 140 + 91d
2
i.e., 910 = 91d
or, d = 10
Therefore, a20 = 10 + (20 - 1) × 10 = 200, i.e. 20th term is 200.
(OR)

b) Let the first term and the common difference of the given AP be a and d, respectively.
According to the question,
Third term + Seventh term = 6
⇒ (a + 2d) + (a + 6d) = 6

⇒ a + 4d = 3 ....(i)

and Third term x Seventh term = 8


⇒ (a + 2d) (a + 6d) =8

⇒ {(a + 4d) - 2d}{(a + 4d) + 2d} = 8

⇒ (3- 2d)(3 + 2d) = 8 [using Eq. (i)]


2 2
⇒ 9 - 4d = 8 [∵ (a - b) (a + b) = a - b ]
2
2
⇒ 4d = 9 - 8
2 1
⇒ d =
4
1
⇒ d = ±
2
1
When, d = 2
, then from Eq. (i), we get
1
a + 4( ) = 3
2

⇒ a + 2 = 3

⇒ a = 3 − 2 ⇒ a = 1

Now, sum of first sixteen terms of the AP,


16 n
S 16 = [2a + (16 − 1)d] [∵ S n = {2a + (n − 1)d}]
2 2
1 1
= 8[2a + 15d] = 8 [2(1) + 15 ( )] [∵ a = 1, d = ]
2 2

15 19
= 8 (2 + ) = 8( ) = 76
2 2
1
When, d = - 2 , then from Eq. (i), we get
1
a + 4 (− ) = 3 ⇒ a − 2 = 3 ⇒ a = 5
2

Now, sum of first sixteen terms of this AP,


16 n
S 16 = [2a + (16 − 1)d] [∵ S n = {2a + (n − 1)d}]
2 2
= 8(2a + 15d)

1 15 5
= 8 [2(5) + 15 (− )] = 8 (10 − ) = 8( ) = 20
2 2 2

Hence, the sum of first sixteen terms, S16 = 20 or 76.


31) a)
Given, a pair of linear equations is :
3x - y = 3 or y = 3x - 3 ....(i)
and 9x-3y = 9 ....(ii)
On substituting y from eqn. (i) in eqn. (ii),
9x - 3(3x- 3) = 9
i.e., 9 = 9
It is a true statement. Hence, eqn. (i) and (ii) have infinitely many solutions.
(OR)

b) 2x − 2y − 2 = 0
4x − 4y − 5 = 0
a1 2 1 b1 −2 1 c1 2
= = , = = , =
a2 4 2 b2 −4 2 c2 5

a1 b1 c1
Since = ≠
a2 b2 c2

Therefore, these linear equations are parallel to each other and thus have no possible solution. Hence, the pair
of linear equations is inconsistent

SECTION D 3 x 4 = 12

Given, x2 + (x + 1)2 = 650

SECTION E 4 x 5 = 20

35) Given equations is x


2
− 3x − 10 = 0
2
⇒ x − 5x + 2x − 10 = 0

[∵ −5x(2) = −10

and − 5 + 2 = −3]

⇒ x(x − 5) + 2(x − 5) = 0

⇒ x − 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

⇒ x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = −2

Hence, the roots of the equation


2
x − 3x − 10 = 0 are − 2 and 5

36) From the given figure,the coordinates of points A, B, C and D are (3,4), (6, 7), (9, 4) and (6, 1),respectively.

and BD = √(6 − 6)
2
+ (1 − 7)
2
= √0 + 36 = √36 = 6 units

Here, all the four sides (AB, BC, CD, DA) are equal and diagonals (AC, BD) are equal.
Hence, ABCD is a square. So, Champa is correct.
37) a)
Given AP is 121, 117, 113,...
Here, first term, a = 121
and common difference, d = 117 - 121 = -4
Let,the nth term of this AP be the first negative term.Then,
an < 0

⇒ a + (n − 1)d < 0 ⇒ 121 + (n − 1)(−4) < 0

⇒ 125 − 4n < 0 ⇒ 125 < 4n ⇒ 4n > 125


125 1
⇒ n > ⇒ n > 31
4 4
So, least integral value of n is 32.
Hence, 32nd term ofthe given AP is the first negative term.
(OR)

b) The numbers on the houses of a row are 1, 2, 3, .., 49.


Clearly, this list of numbers forms an AP with a = 1 and d = 2 - 1 = 1
According to the question, we have
Sx-1 = S49 - Sx ....(i)
n
∵ Sn = [2a + (n − 1)d]
2
x − 1
∴ S x−1 = [2 × 1 + (x − 1 − 1) × 1]
2
2
x − 1 (x − 1)x x − x
= (2 + x − 2) = = ,
2 2 2
2
x x x + x
Sx = [2 × 1 + (x − 1) × 1] = (x + 1) =
2 2 2
49 49
and S 49 = [2 × 1 + (49 − 1) × 1] = [2 + 48]
2 2
49
= × 50 = 49 × 25 = 1225
2
Now, on substituting above values in Eq(i), we get
2 2
x −x x +x
= 1225 −
2 2
2 2
x −x x +x
⇒ + = 1225
2 2
2 2
x −x+x +x
⇒ = 1225
2

⇒ x2 = 1225
⇒ x = ±35
Since, x is a counting number.
∴ Taking positive sign, we get x = 35.

38) a)
Given, a pair of linear equations is :
0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3 .....(i)
and 0.4 x + 0.5y= 2.3 ....(ii)
Multiply both sides of Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii) by 10, we get
2x + 3y = 13 ....(iii)
and 4x + 5y = 23 ....(iv)
On substituting y from eqn. (iii) in eqn. (ii),
(13−2x)
4 5 23
x + × =
10 10 3 10
5
⇒ 4x + (13 − 2x) = 23
3

⇒ 12x + 5 (13 - 2x) = 3 × 23


⇒ 12x + 65 - 10x = 69

⇒ 2x = 69 - 65 = 4

∴ x = 2

On substituting x = 2 in eqn. (iii), we get


13−2×2 9
y = =
3 3

i.e., y = 3
Hence, x = 2,y = 3
(OR)

b) x/2 + 2y/3 = - 1 and x – y/3 = 3


By elimination method
x/2 + 2y/3 = -1 ... (i)
x – y/3 = 3 ... (ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 2, we get
x + 4y/3 = - 2 ... (iii)
x – y/3 = 3 ... (ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (iii), we get
5y/3 = -5
Dividing by 5 and multiplying by 3, we get
y = -15/5
y=-3
Putting this value in equation (ii), we get
x – y/3 = 3 ... (ii)
x – (-3)/3 = 3
x+1=3
x=2
Hence our answer is x = 2 and y = −3.
By substitution method
x – y/3 = 3 ... (ii)
Add y/3 both side, we get
x = 3 + y/3 ... (iv)
Putting this value in equation (i) we get
x/2 + 2y/3 = - 1 ... (i)
(3+ y/3)/2 + 2y/3 = -1
3/2 + y/6 + 2y/3 = - 1
Multiplying by 6, we get
9 + y + 4y = - 6
5y = -15
y=-3
Hence our answer is x = 2 and y = −3.
