7x = 140 ,
x = 20
So, the the lengths of the two pieces are 60 cm and 80cm. 1
SO, the maximum length of the measuring stick = HCF of (60,80)= 2
20cm
OR
Since, 40= 5× 23 ,

Let the lengths of the corresponding arc be l1 and l2

Area of the sector with central angle O1

=360 ×2πr= 44/3cm
Now, corresponding arc length of the sector AO2 BA 1

= 360×2πr= 44/3cm
Hence, we observe that arc lengths of two sectors of two different circles
may be equal but their area need not be equal.

Let 2 − 3√5 is rational
p 1
2 − 3√5 = , ( p and q are co prime, q ≠ 0)
q 3

𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −𝑝, 𝑐 = −𝑝 − 𝑐 0.5
𝛼 + 𝛽 = 𝑝, 𝛼𝛽 = −𝑝 − 𝑐
LHS (𝛼 + 1)(𝛽 + 1) 1.5
𝛼𝛽 + (𝛼 + 𝛽) + 1

SECTION D
(This section comprises of Long Answer (LA) type questions of 5 marks each)

32 𝐴𝐷 = 𝐴𝐹 = 𝑥 (Tangent of the circle) ½ 5

𝐵𝐷 = 𝐵𝐸 = 𝑦 (Tangent of the circle)
𝐶𝐸 = 𝐶𝐹 = 𝑧 (Tangent of the circle)
So we get ½
 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 12 …………..(1) ½
𝑦 + 𝑧 = 8 ……………(2)
½
𝑧 + 𝑥 = 10 ………….(3)
adding (1),(2) and (3) we get 1
2x+2y+2z=12+8+10
𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 15 ………………..(4) ½
by putting 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 12 in (4)
z=3
by putting 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 8 in (4) ½
x=7
by putting 𝑧 + 𝑥 = 10 in (4) ½

In ∆BCE, BC = 10 m and
BEC = 30º
Now tan 30º = BC/BE 1
BE = 10 √3 m
Since BE = CD, 1
Now in ∆ABE , AEB = 60º
where AB = h, BE = 10 √3 m 1
Thus tan 60º = AB/BE
AB = 10 √3 × √3= 30m
AC= 30 + 10 = 40 𝑚 (Height of the hill)
By Pythagoras theorem AE=20√3 m 1
