Explanation: As y = a is an equation of a line parallel to x-axis at a distance of a units from the origin.
3.
(b) on the negative direction of the X-axis
Explanation: In point (-10, 0) y-coordinate is zero, so it lies on X-axis and its x-coordinate is negative, so the point (-10, 0)
lies on the X-axis in the negative direction.
4. (a) X-axis
Explanation: Histogram states that a two dimensional frequency density diagram is called as a histogram. The histograms are
diagrams which represent the class interval and the frequency in the form of a rectangle. There will be as many adjoining
rectangles as there are class intervals.

(c) 50 ∘

Explanation: Two diagonals of a rectangle divides it into four triangles. Out of these four triangles a pair of opposite triangles
are congruent by SSS in which a pair of triangles have two equal angles of 25 each and in another pair of opposite triangles
have two equal angles of 65 each. By angle sum property we have two options of angle fromed between diagonals. Either it is
of 130 or 50. 50 is an acute angle. So, it is a correct option.

10.
(c) a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0
Explanation: A linear equation in two variables is of the form ax + by + c = 0 as a and b are cofficient of x and y
so if a = 0 and b = 0 or either of one is zero in that case the equation will be one variable or their will be no equation
respectively.
therefore when a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0 then only the equation will be in two variable

11. (a) 110°

Explanation: ∠ EAP = ∠ BCA (Corresponding angles)
∠ BCA = 70°

∠ CBA = ∠ BCA (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

∠ CBA = 70°

Now,
∠ ABD + ∠ CBA = 180°

∠ ABD + 70 = 180°
∠ ABD = 110°

12.
(b) 80°, 100°
Explanation: Let the adjacent angles of a parallelogram be 4x and 5x and sum of adjacent angles of parallelogram is 180°.
∴ 4x + 5x = 180°
⇒ 9x = 180° ⇒ x = 20°

∴ Angles are 80° and 100°.

13. (a) 110 o

Explanation:

∠ ACO = ∠ CAO = 20o (because OA = OC)

∠ OBC = ∠ OCB = 35o (because OB = OC)

If we draw a circle with AC (the common hypotenuse) as diameter, this circle will definitely passes through of an arc AC,
Because B and D are the points in the alternate segment of an arc AC.

ii. OA = OC (Radius of a circle)

=> ∠OAC = ∠OCA [Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal]
=> ∠OAC= 35°
OR
Let two circles with respective centers A and B intersect each other at points C and D.
We have to prove ∠ ACB = ∠ ADB
Proof: In triangles ABC and ABD,

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔABD

[SSS rule of congruency]

⇒ ∠ ACB = ∠ ADB [By CPCT]

25. From the table, we get two points A (1,1) and B (2,3) which lie on the graph of the linear equation Obviously,
the graph will be a straight line so we first plot the points A and B and join them as shown in the fig

Then p corresponds to √2 on the number line. Now draw DB of unit length perpendicular to OB.
By using Pythagoras theorem, we have
2 2 2
OD = OB + DB

OD2 = (√2) + 12

Given : △ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC.

Side BA is produced to D such that AD = AB.
To Prove : ∠BCD is a right angle.
Proof : As ABC is an isosceles triangle
∠ABC = ∠ACB ...... (1)
AC = AD ........ [As given : AB = AC and AD = AB]
In △ACD,
∠CDA = ∠ACD .......... [∠s opposite to equal side of a △]
∠CBD = ∠ACD . . . (2)
∠ABC + ∠CDB = ∠ACB + ∠ACD ........ [Adding corresponding sides from (1) and (2)]
∠ABC + ∠CDB = ∠BCD . . . (3)
In △BCD
∠BCD + ∠DBC + ∠CDB = 180o . . .[Sum of three angles of a triangle]
∴ ∠BCD + ∠ABC + ∠CDB = 180o
∠BCD + ∠BCD = 180o . . .[From (3)]
∴ 2∠BCD = 180o
∴ ∠BCD = 90o
∴ ∠BCD is a right angle proved.

Let x = 2 : y = 2
Let x = 3 : y = 3
Thus, we have the following table :

y 1 2 3

Page 13 of 18
 By plotting the points (1, 1), (2, 2) and (3, 3) on the graph paper and joining them by a line, we obtain the graph of y = x.

y = -x
We have, y = -x
Let x = 1 : y = -1
Let x = 2 : y = -2
Let x = -2 : y = -(-2) = 2
Thus, we have the following table exhibiting the abscissa and ordinates of the points of the line represented by the equation y = -x.
x 1 2 -2

y -1 -2 2
Now, plot the points (1, -1), (2, -2) and (-2, 2) and join them by a line to obtain the line represented by the equation y = -x.
The graphs of the lines y = x and y = -x are shown in figure.
Two lines intersect at O (0, 0).

33. i. From the above figure, We have AB = BC…(1) [Given]
Now, A, M, B are the three points on a line, and M lies between A and B such that M is the mid point of AB [Given], then
AM + MB = AB …(2) Also B, N, C are three points on a line such that N is the mid point of BC [Given]
Similarly, BN + NC = BC....(3)
So, we get AM + MB = BN + NC
From (1), (2), (3) and Euclid’s first axiom
Since M is the mid-point of AB and N is the mid-point of BC, therefore
2AM = 2NC i.e. AM = NC
Hence, AM = NC. Proved
Using axiom 6, things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.
ii. From the above figure, We have BM = BN …(1) [ Given ]
As M is the mid-point of AB [Given] , so that
BM = AM…(2)
And N is the mid-point of BC [Given]
BN = NC…(3)
From (1), (2) and (3) and Euclid’s first axiom, we get
AM = NC…(4)
Adding (4) and (1), we get
AM + BM = NC + BN
Hence, AB = BC Proved
[By axiom 2 if equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal]
34. EF ∥ CD and ED is the transversal.
∴ ∠F ED + ∠EDH = 180 [co-interior angles] ∘

⇒ 65° + y = 180°
⇒ y = (180° - 65°) = 115°.

Now CH ∥ AG and DB is the transversal

∴ x = y = 115° [corresponding angles]

Now, ABG is a straight line.

∴ ∠ABE + ∠EBG = 180
∘
[sum of linear pair of angles is 180 ] ∘

∘
⇒ ∠ABE + x = 180

∘ ∘
⇒ ∠ABE + 115 = 180

∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ ∠ABE = (180 − 115 ) = 65

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.

From △EAB, we get
∘
∠EAB + ∠ABE + ∠BEA = 180

⇒ 90° + 65° + z = 180°

⇒ z = (180° - 155°) = 25°

∴ x = 115°, y = 115° and z = 25°

OR

Draw EF ∥ AB ∥ CD
Now, AB ∥ EF and BE is the transversal.
Then,
∠ABE = ∠BEF [Alternate Interior Angles]

∘
⇒ ∠BEF = 35

Page 15 of 18
 Again, EF ∥ CD and DE is the transversal
Then,
∠DEF = ∠F ED

∘
⇒ ∠F ED = 65

∘
∴ x = ∠BEF + ∠F ED

x = 35 + 65°

Daily earning (in
700-750 750-800 800-850 850-900 900-950 950-1000
₹)

Number of stores 6 9 2 7 11 5
Clearly, the given frequency distribution is in the exclusive form. We take class intervals, i.e. daily earnings (in ₹) along x-axis
and frequencies i.e. number of stores along y-axis. So , we get the required histogram.
Since the scale on X-axis starts at 700, a kink(break) is indicated near the origin to show that the graph is drawn to scale beginning
at 700.

Since each person requires 2 sq. meters of floor area.

37. i. x - 2y = 10
ii. x + y = 55 ...(i) and x - 2y = 10 ...(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
x + y - x + 2y = 55 - 10
⇒ 3y = 45

⇒ y = 15

So present age of Reeta is 15 years.

iii. x + y = 55 ...(i) and x - 2y = 10 ...(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
x + y - x + 2y = 55 - 10
⇒ 3y = 45

⇒ y = 15

Put y = 15 in equation (i)

x + y = 55
⇒ x + 15 = 55

⇒ x = 55 − 15 = 40

So Ranjeet's present age is 40 years.

OR
Let Reeta;s mother age be 'z'.

Therefore SR || PQ and SR = PQ
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel.
Hence PQRS is parallelogram.
ii. ∠ RQP. = 30o, Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
iii. Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
Thus, ∠ RSP + ∠ SPQ = 180o
50o + ∠ SPQ = 180o
∠ SPQ = 180o - 50o
