Kamla and her husband were working in a factory in Seelampur, New Delhi. During the pandemic, they were
asked to leave the job. As they have very limited resources to survive in a metro city, they decided to go back to
their hometown in Himachal Pradesh. After a few months of struggle, they thought to grow roses in their fields
and sell them to local vendors as roses have been always in demand. Their business started growing up and they
hired many workers to manage their garden and do packaging of the flowers.

In their garden bed, there are 23 rose plants in the first row, 21 are in the 2nd, 19 in 3rd row and so on. There are
5 plants in the last row.

38. Basant and Vinod lives in a housing society in Dwarka, New Delhi. There are two building in their housing [4]
society. The first building is 8 meter tall. One day, both of them were just trying to guess the height of the other
multi-storeyed building. Vinod said that it might be a 45 degree angle from the bottom of our building to the top
of multi-storeyed building so the height of the building and distance from our building to this multi-storeyed
building will be same. Then, both of them decided to estimate it using some trigonometric tools. Let's assume
that the first angles of depression of the top and bottom of an 8 m tall building from top of a multi-storeyed

building are 30o and 45o, respectively.

i. Now help Vinod and Basant to find the height of the multi-storeyed building.
ii. Also, find he distance between two buildings.

(b) 19
Explanation: Using the factor tree for 95, we have:

Using the factor tree for 152, we have:

Therefore,
95 = 5 × 19

152 = 2 × 19

HCF (95, 152) = 19

2.
(c) 1183914
Explanation: L.C.M. (306, 954, 1314)
306×954×1314× H.C.F. (306,954,1314)
=
H.C.F. (306,954)× H.C.F. (954,1314)× H.C.F. (306,1314)

= 306×954×1314×18

18×18×18
= 1183914

3.
(b) -11
Explanation: 3x 2
+ (k − 1)x + 9 = 0

x = 3 is a solution of the equation means it satisfies the equation

Put x = 3, we get
3(3)2 + (k - 1) 3 + 9 = 0
27 + 3 k - 3 + 9 = 0
27 + 3 k + 6 = 0
3 k = - 33
k = - 11
4.
(b) xo = 85o and yo = 55o
Explanation: According to the question,
xo + yo + 40o = 180o
xo + yo = 140o ... (i)
and xo + yo = 30o ... (ii)
and yo = 55o
On solving eq. (i) and eq. (ii),
x + y + x - y = 140 + 30
2x = 170
 x = 85o
Putting the value of x in equation (i), we get
85o + y = 140o
y = 140o - 85o
y = 55o
we get xo = 85o and yo = 55o
5.
(d) Real and Distinct roots
Explanation: Comparing the given equation to the below equation
ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = -6, c = 6
D = b2 - 4ac
D = (-6)2 - 4× 1× 6
D = 36 - 24
D = 12
D > 0.
If b2 − 4ac > 0, then the equation has real and distinct roots
Hence Real and Distinct roots.
6.
(c) (-4, -15)
Explanation: Let the vertex C be C (x,y). Then
−1+5+x 4+2+y
= 0 and = −3 ⇒ x + 4 = 0 and 6 + y = −9
1 3

∴ x = −4 and y = −15

∘
∴ ∠C = ∠F = 65

and ∠B = ∠D
But ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180 ∘
(Sum of angles of a triangle)
∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ 40 + 65 + ∠C = 180

∘ ∘

 Section B
21. 2 x - 2 y - 2 = 0................(1)
4 x - 4 y - 5 = 0..................(2)
Here, a 1 = 2, b = −2, c1 = −2

a2 = 4, b2 = −4, c2 = −5
a1 b1 c1
We see that a2
=
b2
≠

Hence, the lines represented by the equations(1) and ( 2 ) are parallel.

Therefore, equations ( 1) and (2) have no solution, i.e., the given pair of a linear equation is inconsistent.
22. According to question it is given that D and E are the points on sides AB and AC respectively
Also AD= BD, 1

∴ =

BD

⇒ =
BD EC
1 4.5
⇒ =
3 EC

⇒ EC = 4.5 × 3 cm
⇒ EC = 13.5 cm
Now, AC = AE + EC = 4.5 + 13.5 = 18 cm
OR
According to question it is given that ABCD is a rectangle and p is the midpoint of DC.
∴ AD = BC = 9 cm

QC = BQ + BC = 7 + 9 = 16 cm
PC = CD ⇒ PC = 12 cm
1

In right △PCQ using Pythagoras theorem

PQ2 = QC2 + PC2
PQ2 = 162 + 122 = 400 ⇒ PQ = 20 cm
In right △ABQ using Pythagoras theorem
AQ2 = AB2 + BQ2 ⇒ AQ2 = 242 + 72 = 625
⇒ AQ = 25 cm

In right △ADP using Pythagoras theorem

AP2 = AD2 + DP2 ⇒ AP2 = 92 + 122
⇒ AP2 = 81 + 144
⇒ AP2 = 255
AP = 15 cm
In △APQ,
AP2 = 152 = 225
PQ2 = 202 = 400 ⇒ AP2 + PQ2 = 625
Also, AQ2 = 252 = 625 ⇒ AQ2 = AP2 + PQ2
∴ △ APQ is a right angled △(using converse of BPT)

∴ ∠ APQ = 90°

23.

Given: PQ is a diameter of a circle with centre O.

The lines AB and CD are the tangents at P and Q respectively.
To Prove: AB ∥ CD
Proof: Since AB is a tangent to the circle at P and OP is the radius through the point of contact.
∴ ∠ OPA = 90o ........ (i)
[The tangent at any point of a circle is ⊥ to the radius through the point of contact]
 ∵ CD is a tangent to the circle at Q and OQ is the radius through the point of contact.
∴ ∠ OQD = 90o ........ (ii)
[The tangent at any point of a circle is ⊥ to the radius through the point of contact]
From eq. (i) and (ii), ∠ OPA = ∠ OQD
But these form a pair of equal alternate angles also,
∴ AB ∥ CD

24. Given:
2
cosec θ(1 + cos θ)(1 − cos θ) = λ

2
⇒ cosec θ{(1 + cos θ)(1 − cos θ)} = λ

2 2
⇒ cosec θ (1 − cos θ) = λ

2 2
⇒ cosec θ sin θ= λ

1 2
⇒ × sin θ= λ
2
sin θ

⇒ 1 = λ

⇒ λ = 1

Thus, the value of λ is 1.

25. We have, r = 16.5 km and θ = 80°.
Let A be the area of the sea over which the ships are warmed. Then,
= 189.97 km2
θ 80
A=

= 360
× 3.14 × 16.5 × 16.5 km

OR
We have
R = 6 cm
Length of the arc = 3πcm
θ
as we know that arc length = 360
× 2πr

Substituting the values we get,

× 2π × 6 ...(1)
θ
3π =
360

Now we will simplify the equation (1) as below,

θ
3π = × 12π
360

∘
θ = 90

Therefore, the angle subtended at the centre of the circle is 90o.

√5
–
Let us suppose that √5 is rational. It means that we have co-prime integers a and b (b ≠ 0)
–
Such that √5 = a

b
–
⇒ b √5=a
Squaring both sides, we get
⇒ 5b 2 =a 2 ... (1)
It means that 5 is factor of a2
Hence, 5 is also factor of a by Theorem. ... (2)
If, 5 is factor of a , it means that we can write a = 5c for some integer c .
Substituting value of a in (1) ,
5b2 = 25c2
⇒ b2 =5c2
It means that 5 is factor of b2 .
Hence, 5 is also factor of b by Theorem. ... (3)
From (2) and (3) , we can say that 5 is factor of both a and b .
But, a and b are co-prime .
–
Therefore, our assumption was wrong. √5 cannot be rational. Hence, it is irrational.
27. ∵ α and β are zeroes of given polynomial
So, x2 + 9x + 20 = 0
 x2 + 4x + 5x + 20 = 0
x(x + 4) + 5(x + 4) = 0
(x + 5)(x + 4) = 0
x = -5 and x = -4
∴ α = -5 and β = -4
Now, α + 1 = -4 and β + 1 = -3
So, product of zeroes= (-4) × (-3) = 12
Sum of zeroes = -7
Now polynomial = x2 - (sum of zeroes)x + (product of zeroes)
Polynomial = x2 + 7x + 12
28. The given equations are
– –
√2x − √3y = 0 ............(i)
– –
√3x − √8y = 0 .............(ii)

From equation (i), we obtain:

√3y
x = ...(iii)
√2

Substituting this value in equation (ii), we obtain:

– √3y –
√3 ( ) − √8y = 0
√2

3y –
− 2√2y = 0
√2

3 –
y( − 2√2) = 0
√2

y=0
Substituting the value of y in equation (iii), we obtain:
x=0
∴ x = 0, y = 0

Hence the solution of given equation is (0,0).

OR
Let the given points be A(1,4) , B(0,6) , C(3,4) and D(1,0).
On plotting points A and B and joining them, we get the path travelled by Aditya. Similarly, on plotting points C and D and
joining them, we get path travelled by Aditi.

It is clear from the graph that both of them cross each other at point E(2,2).
29. Consider the smaller circle whose centre is given as O.
The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the
circle.

Therefore,we have,
 ∠ AOB = 2∠ APB
= 2(70o)
∠ AOB = 140o
Now consider the larger circle and the points A,C, B and O along its circumference. AOBC from a cycle quadrilateral.
In a cyclic quadrilateral , the opposite angles are supplementary, meaning that the opposite angles add up to 180o.
∠ AOB + ∠ ACB = 180o
∠ ACB = 180o - ∠ AOB
= 180o - 140o
∠ ACB = 40o
Therefore, the measure of angle ACB is 40o.

In △P QR , by Pythagoras theorem

To prove : ΔABC ∼ ΔP QR
Construction : Produce AD to E such that AD = DE and produce PM to N such that PM = MN. Join CE and RN.
Proof : In ΔABD and ΔEDC
AD = DE

∠ADB = ∠EDC (vertically opposite angles)

BD = DC (as AD is a median)

∴ ΔABD ≡ ΔEDC (By SAS congruency)

or, AB = C E (By CPCT)

Similarly, PQ = RN

Let BPC be the hemisphere and ABC be the cone mounted on the base of the hemisphere. Let EFGH be the right circular cylinder
circumscribing the given toy.

We have,
Given radius of cone, cylinder and hemisphere (r) = 4

2

Height of cone (l) = 2 cm
Height of cylinder (h) = 4 cm
Now, Volume of the right circular cylinder = π r2 h= π × 2 2

Hence, the right circular cylinder covers 8π cm3 more space than the solid toy.
So, remaining volume of cylinder when toy is inserted in it = 8π cm 3
