Questions

36. Geometrical mathematics has helped in art integration in the formation of designs of different
patterns. Let us consider a square pattern. The mid points of whose sides are again joined to form
another square, the mid points of whose sides are again joined to form another square and the
process continues infinity. The pattern looks like.

If side of original square is 100 cm.

Answer the following:
(i) What is the side of square A′B′C′D′? 1
ii) Find the area of square A″B″C″D″.
(iii) Find the Perimeter of square A′B′C′D′ 1
OR 2
(iii) Find the Sum of areas of squares if process continuous infinity

38. Khushali is writing examination. She is reading question paper during reading time. She reads 2+2
instructions carefully. While reading instructions, she observed that the question paper consists of
15 quetions divided in to two parts – part I containing 8 questions and part II containing 7
questions.

(i)If Khushali is required to attempt 8 questions in all selecting at least 3 from each part, then in
how many ways can she select these questions?
