31 Given ABCD be a parallelogram circumscribing a circle with centre O.
To Prove : ABCD is a rhombus.

1 mark

We know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an exterior point are equal is length.
∴ AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS.
AP+BP+CR+DR = AS+BQ+CQ+DS
1 mark
(AP+BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS+DS) + (BQ+CQ)
∴ AB+CD=AD+BC or 2AB=2AD (since AB=DC and AD=BC of parallelogram ABCD)
∴ AB=BC=DC=AD 1 mark
ABCD is a rhombus.

SECTION – D
Questions 32 to 35 carry 5 marks each.
32. Let the original speed of the aircraft = x km/hr
Then new speed = (x – 200) km/hr 1 mark
Total distance = 600 km
During of the flight at original speed = hr 1 mark
During of the flight at new speed = hr 1 mark
According to given - =
2
x - 200 x – 240000 = 0 1 mark
x = 600 , - 400
So, the original speed of the aircraft =600 km/hr
During of the flight = 600/x hr = 600/600 = 1 hour. 1 mark
( OR )
Given,
Let the speed be x, then time taken (t) =
If speed is increased by 5 km/h, so speed = (x+5)km/h 1 mark
time taken to the distance =
time with original speed - time with increased speed =1 1 mark
- =1

1 mark
x + 5x -1800 = 0
(x − 40)(x + 45) = 0 , x = 40, - 45 1 mark
X = 40 km/hr,
So the speed of the train is 40 km/hr. the negative value of speed (−45) is not possible. 1 mark
