Given;

AB = PQ,

BC = QR and

AM = PN

(i) 1/2 BC = BM and 1/2QR = QN (Since AM and PN are medians)

Also, BC = QR

So, 1/2 BC = 1/2QR

⇒ BM = QN

In ΔABM and ΔPQN,

AM = PN and AB = PQ (Given)

BM = QN (Already proved)

∴ ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN by SSS congruency.

(ii) In ΔABC and ΔPQR,

AB = PQ and BC = QR (Given)

∠ABC = ∠PQR (by CPCT)

So, ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR by SAS congruency.

We have2x−7 × 5x−4 = 1250

⇒2x−7 × 5x−4 = 2× 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
⇒2x−7 × 5x−4 = 21× 54
Equating the powers of 2 and 5 from both sides, we have
⇒ x – 7 = 1 and x – 4 = 4
⇒ x = 8 and x = 8
Hence, x = 8 is the required value.

Q. No. 9 is very short answer question.
9 Give reason for the following: 2
a) If some ice-cold water is kept in a tumbler, soon we see water

Ans – The water vapour in the air around the tumbler comes in contact
with the cold surface of tumbler, they condense to form tiny water
droplets. (1m)
b) People sprinkle water on the roof in hot summers.
Ans – Water evaporates by taking a large amount of heat from the roof
and surrounding air. Hence the roof becomes cool after losing its heat to
water. (1m)

 interparticle forces of attraction and change into vapour.
OR
c) Why do we sweat more on humid days?
Ans – When humidity is high, the sweat from our body does not
evaporate easily, so no cooling is caused. Therefore, the body keeps
sweating more to try to cool the body. (1M)

11 If you are provided with some vegetables to cook, you generally add salt to the 2
vegetables during the cooking process. After adding salt, vegetables release
water. What mechanism is responsible for this?
Ans: After adding salt, vegetables release water due to the process of osmosis.
The addition of salt makes the external environment hypertonic. This means
that the concentration of water outside is lowered as compared to the
concentration of water inside the cell. This results in the elimination of water
from the vegetables due to exosmosis.

of water, mechanical injury and invasion of parasitic fungi.

SECTION – A
I. Lisez le texte suivant et répondez aux questions :
Louis Braille est connu dans le monde entier. Il a inventé un système d'écriture qui permet aux aveugles de
lire. Louis Braille est né en 1809 à Coupvray, un petit village de France situé à l'est de Paris. À l'âge de trois
ans, en jouant avec un couteau, Louis s'est gravement blessé à un œil. Les médecins n'ont pas bien soigné le
petit Louis. Alors, peu de temps après l'accident, il a perdu la vue dans les deux yeux. Mais Louis a refusé
d'être découragé : il est devenu un brillant élève à l'école du village. À l'âge de dix ans, suivant les conseils
de son professeur, il a quitté l'école du village pour aller dans une école spécialisée à Paris. Là, les enfants
aveugles comme Louis pouvaient recevoir une excellente éducation. Puis, Louis est devenu enseignant. Il a
développé son célèbre système d'écriture qui allait permettre aux enfants aveugles de lire et d'apprendre.
Dans le système Braille, l'enfant aveugle apprend à « lire » avec les doigts. Le système Braille a transformé
la vie des enfants aveugles.

*Aveugles- blinds, *couteau- knife, *blessé- hurt, *soigné- treat/ take care of, *découragé- discouraged
