Q21.Find the point on y-axis which is equidistant from the points (5, – 2) and (–3, 2).
Ans:
Let point on y-axis beP (0, a)
Now distance of this point from A(5, –2) is equal to distance from point B(–3, 2)

AP = BP
AP2 = BP2
25 + 4 + a2 + 4a = 9 + a2 + 4 – 4a 8a = –16 a = –2
Hence, the required point is (0, -2)

Q22.X is a point on the side BC of ∆ABC. XM and XN are drawn parallel to AB and AC respectively
meeting AB in N and AC in M. MN produced meets CB produced at T. Prove that TX2 = TB × TC.

In △TXM,
XM∥BN
Therefore,
TB/TX=TN/TM ......(1)
In △TMC,
TX/TC=TN/TM .......(2)
From 1 and 2, we have
TB/TX=TX/TC
TX2=TB×TC
Q23. In figure PA and PB are tangents to the circle drawn from an external point P. CD is
the third tangent touching the circle at Q. If PA = 15 cm, find the perimeter of ΔPCD.

Extra Mile Education & Training #8921076844

 Ans: Since, PA and PB are tangent from same external point.
∴ PA = PB = 15 cm
Now, perimeter of ∆PCD = PC + CD + DP
= PC + CQ + QD+ DP
= PC + CA + DB + DP
= PA + PB = 15 + 15 = 30 cm
OR
Q23.If the perimeter of a semi-circular protractor is 108 cm, find the diameter of the protractor.
(Take 𝜋 = 22/7 )
Perimeter=108cm
𝜋 x r +2r = 108
r(22/7+2) =108
r(22+14/7) = 108
r(36/7) =108
r = 108 x 7/36
r=3x7 , r=21cm , Therefore, d=2r =2x21=42cm
Q24. The probability of selecting a blue marble at random from a jar that contains only blue, black and
green marbles is 1/5. The probability of selecting a black marble at random from the same jar is 1/4. If
the jar contains 11 green marbles, find the total number of marbles in the jar.
Ans: Let A be the event of getting blue marbles, B be the event of getting black marbles and C be
the event of getting green marbles.
P(A) = 1/5 , P(B) = 1/4
P(C) = 1 – [P(A) + P(B)] = 1 – (1/5 + ¼) = 1-9/20 = 11/20

How old is Sumit at present?
Ans: Let present age of Sumit be x years and present age of his son be y years.
∴ x = 3y ⇒ x – 3y = 0 ...(i)
After 5 years, Age of Sumit = (x + 5) years
Age of his son = (y + 5) years
According to the question, ⇒ 2x + 10 = 5y + 25 ⇒ 2x – 5y = 15 ...(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get y = 15
Putting y = 15 in equation (i), we get x = 3 × 15 = 45 years
∴ Sumit is 45 years old at present.

Q26. Find the coordinates of the points which divide the line segment joining A (–2, 2) and B (2, 8)
intofour equal parts.
Extra Mile Education & Training #8921076844
 From the figure, it can be observed that points X,Y,Z are dividing the line segment in a
ratio 1:3,1:1,3:1 respectively.
Using Sectional Formula, we get,
Coordinates of X=1×2+3×(−2)/1+3,1×8+3×2/1+3)
=(−1,7/2)
Coordinates of Y=2−22,2+82=(0,5))
Coordinates of Z=(3×2+1×(−2)/1+3,3×8+1×2/1+3) =(1,13/2)

Q27. A triangle ABC is drawn to circumscribe a circle of radius 4 cm such that the segments BD and DC
into which BC is divided by the point of contact D are of lengths 8 cm and 6 cm, respectively. Find the
sides AB and AC.

We know that the length of any two tangents which are drawn from the same point to the circle is equal.
So,
CF = CD = 6 cm
BE = BD = 8 cm, AE = AF = x
Now, it can be observed that,
AB = EB+AE = 8+x
CA = CF+FA = 6+x
BC = DC+BD = 6+8 = 14
Now the semi-perimeter “s” will be calculated as follows
2s = AB+CA+BC
By putting the respective values, we get,
2s = 28+2x
s = 14+x

By solving this, we get,

= √(14+x)48x ……… (i)
Again, the area of △ABC = 2 × area of (△AOF + △COD + △DOB)
= 2×[(½×OF×AF)+(½×CD×OD)+(½×DB×OD)]
= 2×½(4x+24+32) = 56+4x …………..(ii)
Now from (i) and (ii), we get,
√(14+x)48x = 56+4x
Now, square both sides,
48x(14+x) = (56+4x)2
48x = [4(14+x)]2/(14+x)
48x = 16(14+x)
48x = 224+16x
32x = 224
x = 7 cm
So, AB = 8+x

Q29. If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points,
then prove that the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
Consider a triangle ΔABCand draw a line PQ parallel to the side BC of ΔABC and intersect the sides AB
and AC in P and Q, respectively.
To prove: AP/PB = AQ/QC
Cosntruction:
Join the vertex B of ΔABC to Q and the vertex C to P to form the lines BQ and CP and then drop a
perpendicular QN to the side AB and draw PM⊥AC as shown in the given figure.

Proof:
Now the area of ∆APQ = 1/2 × AP × QN (Since, area of a triangle= 1/2× Base × Height)

Extra Mile Education & Training #8921076844

Similarly, area of ∆PBQ= 1/2 × PB × QN
area of ∆APQ = 1/2 × AQ × PM
Also,area of ∆QCP = 1/2 × QC × PM ………… (1)
Now, if we find the ratio of the area of triangles ∆APQand ∆PBQ, we have
area of △APQarea of △PBQ=12 × AP × QN12 × PB × QN=APPB
Similarly, area of △APQarea of △QCP=12 × AQ × PM12 × QC × PM=AQQC…(2)
According to the property of triangles, the triangles drawn between the same parallel lines and on the
same base have equal areas.
Therefore, we can say that ∆PBQ and QCP have the same area.
area of ∆PBQ = area of ∆QCP …………..(3)
Therefore, from the equations (1), (2) and (3), we can say that,
AP/PB = AQ/QC

Q30.The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 8 and number formed by reversing the digits is
lessthan the given number by 18. Find the number.

Solution : Let units digit = x ,Tens digit = y

So, the original number is = unit digit + 10 × tens digit = x + 10y
According to question,
Sum of digits = 8
so, x + y = 8 . . . (i)
On reversing the digits, new number = 10x + y
According to question
Difference = 18
⇒ x + 10y − (10x + y) = 18
⇒ x +10 y− 10x − y = 18
⇒ 9y − 9x = 18
⇒ y − x = 2 . . . (ii)
By adding eq. (i) and (iii)
2y = 10
y=10/2⇒y=5
Put the value of y in eq. (i)
⇒ x+y=8
⇒ x+5=8
⇒ x=8−5
⇒ x=3
∴ Original number =10y+x
=10×5+3 =50+3=53

Q33.The lower window of a house is at a height of 2 m above the ground and its upper window is 4 m
vertically above the lower window. At certain instant, the angles of elevation of a balloon from these
windows are observed to be 60° and 30°, respectively. Find the height of the balloon above the ground.
Solution

Let the window G be 2 m above the ground.

Window A be 4 m above the window G.
Balloon be at point B above the ground.
In ∆ABC,
tan30° = h/x ⇒1/√3 = h/x ⇒ x = h√3.....i
In ∆BGD,
tan60° = BD/GD⇒√3 = h + 4/x⇒x = h + 4/√3.....ii
From (i) and (ii) we get,
h√3 = h + 4/√3 ⇒ 3h = h + 4 ⇒ 2h = 4 ⇒ h = 2
Hence, the height of the ballon above the ground = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 m

Q34. Due to heavy floods in a state, thousands were rendered homeless. 50 schools collectively decided
to provide place and the canvas for 1500 tents and share the whole expenditure equally. The lower part
of each tent is cylindrical with base radius 2.8 m and height 3.5 m and the upper part is conical with the
same base radius, but of height 2.1 m. If the canvas used to make the tents costs ₹120 per m2,find the
amount shared by each school to set up the tents.
Ans. Radius of the base of cylinder (r)=2.8 m
Radius of the base of the cone (r)=2.8 m
Height of the cylinder (h)=3.5 m
Height of the cone (H)=2.1 m.
Slant height of conical part (l)=√r2+h2
= √(2.8)2+(2.1)2
= √7.84+4.41
= √12.25= 3.5 m
Area of canvas used to make tent= CSA of cylinder + CSA of cone
= 2 × π × 2.8 × 3.5 + π × 2.8 × 3.5 = 61.6 + 30.8 = 92.4m2
Cost of 1500 tents at Rs 120 per sq.m
= 1500×120×92.4= Rs 16,632,000
Share of each school to set up the tents
= 16632000/50

diameter equal to the side of the cube is scooped out. This hemisphere is inverted and placed on the top of the
second cube’s surface to form a dome. Find (i) the ratio of the total surface area of the two new solids formed
(ii) volume of each new solid formed.
Here, diameter of hemisphere, d = 7 cm.

Then, radius of hemisphere, r = 7/2 cm = 3.5 cm

(i) Surface Area of Solid 1 = Surface Area of Cube + Curved Surface Area of Hemisphere - Base Area of
Hemisphere

⇒ 6a² + 2πr² - πr²

⇒ 6a² + πr²⇒ (6 x 7 x 7) + (3.14 x 3.5 x 3.5)⇒ 294 + 38.465⇒ 332.465 cm²

Surface Area of Solid 2 = Surface Area of Cube + Curved Surface Area of Hemisphere - Base Area of
Hemisphere ⇒ 6a² + 2πr² - πr² ⇒ 6a² + πr²

⇒ (6 x 7 x 7) + (3.14 x 3.5 x 3.5)⇒ 294 + 38.465⇒ 332.465 cm²

Therefore, ratio of the total surface area of the two new solids formed, R
