Q26. Find the zero’s of the quadratic polynomial and verity. the relationship between the zero’s and the coefficients 4S cm2-4+1
Solution
Step 1: Form the equation
The given polynomial is 4s2 – 4s + 1
We are aware that a polynomial’s zeroes are evaluated by equating them to zero.
p(s) = 0
Hence the above equation becomes 4s2 – 4s + 1 = 0.
Step 2: Solve to find the zeroes
4s2 – 4s + 1 = 0
The above equation can be written as:
2s)2 – 2 (2s) + 12 = 0
(2s + 1)2 = 0 [As (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2]
s = ½, ½
Step 3: Verification
We know that for a given polynomial as2 + bs + c
Sum of the zeroes = -b/a and
product of the roots = c/a
Substituting the values in the above formula we get:
Sum of the zeroes = ½ + ½ = 1
Again, -b/a = – (-4)/4 = 1
Product of the zeroes = ½ x ½ = ¼
Again, c/a = ¼
Thus, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients of the polynomial is verified.
Hence, the zeroes of this polynomial are ½ and ½.

⇒x=9
Substituting x=9 in (iii), we get
y=9−4=5,
i.e, y=5
x=9,y=5

Solution
The multiples of 8 are 8,16,24,32…
These are in an A.P., having the first term as 8 and the common difference as 8.
Therefore, a=8,d=8, S15=?
Sn=2/n[2a+(n−1)d]
S15=15/2[2(8)+(15−1)8]
=15/2[16+(14)(8)]
=15×128/2

Q31. Prove that the tangents drawn at the ends of a diameter of a circle are parallel
To prove: PQ∣∣ RS
Given: A circle with centre O and diameter AB. Let PQ be tangent at point A & Rs be point B.
Solution
Proof: Since PQ is a tangent at point A.
OA⊥ PQ(Tangent at any point of the circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact).
∠OQP=90o …………(1)
OB⊥ RS
∠OBS=90o ……………(2)
From (1) & (2)
∠OAP=∠OBS
i.e., ∠BAP=∠ABS
for lines PQ & RS and transversal AB
∠BAP=∠ABS i.e., both alternate angles are equal.
So, lines are parallel.
$$\therefore PQ||RS.
Q32. Prove that the |lgm circumscribing a circle is a rhombus
Solution
Since ABCD is a parallelogram circumscribed in a circle
AB=CD……..(1)
BC=AD……..(2)
DR=DS (Tangents on the circle from same point D)
CR=CQ(Tangent on the circle from same point C)
BP=BQ (Tangent on the circle from same point B )
AP=AS (Tangents on the circle from same point A)
Adding all these equations we get
DR+CR+BP+AP=DS+CQ+BQ+AS
(DR+CR)+(BP+AP)=(CQ+BQ)+(DS+AS)
CD+AB=AD+BC
Putting the value of equations 1 and 2 in the above equation we get
2AB=2BC
AB=BC………..(3)
From equations (1), (2) and (3) we get
AB=BC=CD=DA
∴ ABCD is a Rhombus

Q33. Find the area of a sector of a circle with a radius of 6cm if the angle of the sector is 60 degrees
Solution:
We use the formula for the area of the sector of a circle.
The formula for the area of the sector of a circle with radius ‘r’ and angle θ = (θ/360°) × πr2
Given, θ = 60°, Radius = 6 cm
Area of the sector = (θ/360°) × πr2
= 60°/360° × 22/7 × 6 × 6
= 132/7 cm2
34. A drinking glass is in the shape of a frustum with a core of height 14cm. the diameter of its two circular ends is 4cm and 2cm. find the capacity of the glass.
Solution
Upper base diameter, D =4 cm
Lower base diameter, d =2cm
Height, h =14 cm
So, R (upper base) =2 cm,
r(lower =1cm
The capacity of glass = Volume of a frustum of a cone
=πh/3[R2+Rr+r2]
=π×14/3[22+2×1+12]
=22×14[4+1+2]/3×7
=3308/3=10 2/ 3 cm 3
So, the capacity of the glass is 10 3/2 cm3

Q35. Find two numbers whose sum is 27 and whose product is 182.
Solution:
Let us consider one of the numbers to be x. Then the other number will be 27 – x.
The product of the two numbers is given as 182
This can be written in the form of the following quadratic equation
x(27 – x) = 182
x(27 – x) = 182
27x – x2 = 182
27x – x2 – 182 = 0
x2 – 27 x + 182 = 0 [Rearranging the terms and multiplying both sides by a negative sign]
x2 – 14x – 13x + 182 = 0
x (x – 14) – 13 (x – 14) = 0
(x -13) (x – 14) = 0
x – 13 = 0 and x – 14 = 0
x = 13 and x = 14
Therefore, the required numbers are 13, and 14.
Q36.The of angle elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground which is 30m away from the foot of the tower is 30 degrees. Find the height of the tower.
Solution
We have to find the height of the tower.
![](https://i0.wp.com/bioenotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-21.png?resize=229%2C227&ssl=1)
Let us consider the height of the tower as AB and the distance between the foot of the tower to the point on the ground as BC.
In ΔABC, the trigonometric ratio involving AB, BC and ∠C is tan θ.
tan C = AB/BC
tan 30° = AB/30
1/√3 = AB/30
AB = 30/√3
= (30 × √3) / (√3 × √3)
= (30√3)/3
= 10√3
Height of tower AB = 10√3 m.
Q 37. Find the points on the x-axis which is equidistant from (2,-5) and (-2, 9)
Solution:
The distance between any two points can be measured using the Distance Formula which is given by: Distance Formula = √ [(x₂ – x₁)2 + (y₂ – y₁)2]
Let’s assume a point P on the x-axis which is of the form P(x, 0).
We have to find a point on the x-axis which is equidistant from A (2, – 5) and B (- 2, 9).
To find the distance between P and A, substitute the values of P (x, 0) and A (2, – 5) in the distance formula.
PA = √(x – 2)² + (0 – (- 5))²
= √(x – 2)² + (5)² ——— (1)
To find the distance between P and B, substitute the values of P (x, 0) and B (- 2, 9) in the distance formula.
PB = √(x – (- 2))² + (0 – 9)²
= √(x + 2)² + (- 9)² ———- (2)
By the given condition, these distances are equal in measure.
Hence, PA = PB
√(x – 2)² + (5)² = √(x + 2)² + (- 9)² [From equations (1) and (2)]
Squaring on both sides, we get
(x – 2)2 + 25 = (x + 2)2 + 81
x2 + 4 – 4x + 25 = x2 + 4 + 4x + 81
8x = 25 – 81
8x = – 56
x = – 7
Therefore, the point equidistant from the given points on the x-axis is (- 7, 0).
Q 38. Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (-3,10) and (6,-8) is divided by (-1,6)
Solution:
The coordinates of the point P(x, y) which divides the line segment joining the points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂), internally, in the ratio m₁: m₂ is given by the Section Formula: P(x, y) = [(mx₂ + nx₁) / m + n, (my₂ + ny₁) / m + n]
Let the ratio in which the line segment joining A(- 3, 10) and B(6, – 8) be divided by point C(- 1, 6) be k : 1.
By Section formula, C(x, y) = [(mx₂ + nx₁) / m + n, (my₂ + ny₁) / m + n]
m = k, n = 1
![](https://i0.wp.com/bioenotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-22.png?resize=385%2C115&ssl=1)
Therefore,
– 1 = (6k – 3) / (k + 1)
– k – 1 = 6k – 3
7k = 2
k = 2 / 7
Hence, point C divides the line segment AB in the ratio 2: 7.
Q40. Question: ABC is an issosless right angled at C. prove that AB2= 2AC2?
Solution:
We know that, in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
![](https://i0.wp.com/bioenotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-23.png?resize=189%2C197&ssl=1)
In ΔABC, ∠ACB = 90° and AC = BC [Since ABC is an isosceles triangle right angled at C]
Using Pythagoras’ theorem,
⇒ AB2 = AC2 + BC2
⇒ AB2 = AC2 + AC2 [Since AC = BC]
Therefore, AB2 = 2 AC2
Q41. Question: construct a triangle with sides 5cm, 6cm, & 7cm and then another triangle whose sides are 7/5 of the corresponding sides of the first triangle.
Solution:
Draw the line segment of the largest length of 7 cm. Measure 5 cm and 6 cm separately and cut arcs from both ends of the line segment such that they cross each other at one point. Connect this point from both the ends
Then draw another line that makes an acute angle with the given line (7 cm). Divide the line into m + n parts where m and n are the ratios given.
Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are equal and said to satisfy the AA criteria.
The basic proportionality theorem states that “If a straight line is drawn parallel to a side of a triangle, then it divides the other two sides proportionally”.
![](https://i0.wp.com/bioenotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-24.png?resize=345%2C288&ssl=1)
Steps of construction:
Draw BC = 7cm with B and C as centres and radii 5 cm and 6 cm respectively. Draw arcs to intersect at A. ΔABC is obtained.
Draw ray BX making ∠CBX an acute angle.
Mark 7 points (greater of 7 and 5 in 7/5 ) B₁, B₂,………B₇ on BX such that BB₁ = B₁B₂ =…………… = B₆B₇
Join B₅ (smaller of 7 and 5 in 7/5 which is the 5th point) to C and draw B₇C’ parallel to B₅C intersecting the extension of BC at C’.
Through C’ draw C’A’ parallel to CA to meet the extension of BA at A’. Now, ΔA’ B’C’ is the required triangle similar to ΔABC where BA’/BA = C’A’/CA = BC’/BC = 7/5
Proof:
In ΔBB₇C’, B₃C is parallel to B₇C’
Hence by the Basic proportionality theorem,
B₅B₇/BB₅ = CC’/BC = 2/5
Adding 1 to both the sides of CC’/BC = 2/5,
CC’/BC + 1 = 2/5 + 1
(BC + CC’)/BC = 7/5
BC’/BC = 7/5
Consider ΔBAC and ΔBA’C’
∠ABC = ∠A’BC’ (Common)
∠BCA = ∠BC’A’ (Corresponding angles ∵ CA || C’A’)
By AA criteria, ΔBAC ∼ ΔBA’C’
∴ The corresponding sides are proportional
Hence,
BA’/BA = C’A’/A = BC’/BC = 7/5
Q42. The distribution below gives the weight of 3 students in a class. Find the median weight of the students
![](https://i0.wp.com/bioenotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-25.png?resize=544%2C78&ssl=1)
Solution:
We know that,
Median = l + [(n/2 – cf)/f] × h
Class size, h
Number of observations, n
The lower limit of median class, l
Frequency of median class, f
Cumulative frequency of class preceding median class, cf
n = 30 ⇒ n/2 = 15
From the table, it can be observed that cumulative frequency (cf) just greater than 15 is 19, belonging to class 55 – 60.
Therefore, median class = 55 – 60
Class size, h = 5
The lower limit of median class, l = 55
Frequency of median class, f = 6
Cumulative frequency of class preceding median class, cf = 13
Median = l +[ (n/2 – cf)/f] × h
= 55 + [(15 – 13)/6] × 5
= 55 + (2/6) × 5
= 55 + 5/3
= 55 + 1.67
= 56.67
Therefore, the median weight is 56.67 kg.
