size of the bathroom is 14·5 ft by 12·5 ft. What would be the size of tiles in inches ? How
many such tiles are required ?
2. A rational number in its decimal expansion is 327·7081. What can you say
about the prime factor of q. When this number is expressed in the form p/q ?
Give reasons.
3.If two zeroes of the polynomial x4 + x3 -15x2 – 29x – 6 are 2 + ( root 5) and 2 – (
root 5 ) Find other zeroes.
4.Show that the system of equations ax + by = c and bx + ay = c can have
infinitely many solution. Find the relations between a and b in this condition.
5.For which values of a and b, will the following pair of linear equations have
infinitely many solutions ?
x + 2y = 1
(a – b)x + (a + b)y = a + b – 2
6.If 2 is added to each of two given numbers, their ratio becomes 1 : 2.
Howevers, if 4 is subtracted from each of thegiven numbers, the ratio becomes 5
: 11. Find the numbers.

13.A 5m long ladder is placed learning towards a vertical wall such that it
reaches the wall at a point 4m high. If the foot of the ladder is moved 1.6 m
towards the wall, then find the distance by which the top of the ladder would
slide upwards on the wall.
14.For going to a city B from city A, there is a route via city C such that AC
perpendicular CB, AC = 2x km and CB = 2 (x + 7) km. It is proposed to construct
a 26 km highway which directly connects the two cities A and B. Find how much
distance will be saved in reaching city B from city A after the construction of the
highway.
15.A circle touches the sides of a quadrilateral ABCD at the points P, Q, R and S
respectively. Show that the angles subtended at the centre by a pair of opposite
sides are supplementary.
16.A circle is inscribed within a quadrilateral ABCD. Given that BC = 38 cm, BQ
= 27 cm and DC = 25 cm and that AD is perpendicular to DC find the radius of
the circle.
17.Draw a circle of radius 2.2 cm. Take two points P and Q on one of its
extended diameter each at a distance of 4.3 cm from its centre. Draw tangents
to the circle from these two points P and Q.
18.Draw a line segment AB of length 4.4cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of
radius 2cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 2.2cm.
Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.
