1. According to Euclid’s division lemma, 5. Let two circles with same centre at O. And PR be the
153 = 85 ´ 1 + 68 chord which touches the inner circle.
Þ 85 = 68 ´ 1 + 17
and 68 = 17 ´ 4 + 0
\ HCF of 85 and 153 is 17. (1/2)

Also, OQ ^ PR
2. Given quadratic equation is [Q tangent PR at point Q of an
2x 2 + x + 4 = 0 incircle is perpendicular to the radius
through the point of contact]
On comparing with ax 2 + bx + c = 0, we get
\ ÐOQP = 90°
a = 2, b = 1 and c = 4
PQ = QR …(i)
Now, discriminant, D = b 2 - 4ac
[Q perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord]

In DOQP, (OP )2 = ( PQ )2 + (OQ )2

[by Pythagoras theorem]
which is not real.
Þ ( 5) = ( PQ ) + ( 3)2

Hence, there are no real roots for the given

equation. [1]
Þ ( PQ )2 = 25 - 9 = 16

3. Given equation is x - 4x + 1 = 0 Þ PQ = 4 cm [taking positive square root]
On comparing the given equation with Þ PR = PQ + QR
ax 2 + bx + c = 0, we get (1/2) Þ PR = PQ + PQ [from Eq. (i)]

= 16 - 4 = 12 (1/2) and 11.

7. For the maximum number of columns, we have to 1
OB = BD = x cm
find the HCF of 616 and 32. 2
Since, 616 > 32, so we apply Euclid’s division lemma and ÐAOB = 90° (1/2)
to 616 and 32. In right angled D AOB, by Pythagoras theorem
We have, 616 = 32 ´ 19 + 8 (1/2) AB2 = OA 2 + OB2
Here, remainder 8 ¹ 0. So, we again apply Euclid’s Þ OB2 = AB2 - OA 2
division lemma to 32 and 8. Þ x 2 = (10)2 - (6 )2
We have, 32 = 8 ´ 4 + 0 (1/2) Þ x 2 = 100 - 36
Here, remainder is zero. So, HCF (616,32) = 8 Þ x 2 = 64 Þ x = 64 =8
Hence, the maximum number of columns is 8. (1) [taking positive square root] (1/2)
1 \ OB = 8 cm
8. Let a and be two zeroes of the given polynomial,
a Then, BD = 2 ´ OB = 2 ´ 8 = 16 cm
which are reciprocal of each other. Hence, the length of the second diagonal is 16 cm.
Now, product of zeroes, (1/2)

PE PF

EQ FR
On squaring both sides, we get
i.e. EF divides PQ and PR in the same ratio.
( 4 - 2 )2 + ( 3 - 3)2 = ( x - 2 )2 + ( 5 - 3)2
Þ (2 )2 = ( x - 2 )2 + (2 )2 Hence, by converse of basic proportionality
Þ ( x - 2 ) + (2 ) - (2 )2 = 0 Þ ( x - 2 )2 = 0

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect
each other at right angles.
Then, PQ = 2PM = 2QM
1 [Q chord PQ is a tangent to the smaller circle,
\ OA = AC = 6 cm (1/2)
2 therefore OM ^ PQ and hence OM bisect PQ] (1)

Now, in right angled DPMO at M, and 7 x + 1 - 5y + 1 = 218 Þ 7 × 7 x - 5 × 5y = 218
= 90° Let 7 x = p and 5y = q (1/2)
Use Pythagoras theorem, we get Then, given equations become
2 2
PM = PO - OM = 25 - 9 = 16 = 4 cm p + q = 74 ...(i)
and 7 p - 5 q = 218 ...(ii) (1)
Thus, PQ = 2 PM = 2 ´ 4 = 8 cm
Hence, the length of the chord of the larger circle On putting p = 74 - q from Eq. (i) in Eq. (ii), we get
which touches the smaller circle is 8 cm. (1) 7(74 - q ) - 5q = 218
13. Let a be any positive integer. On dividing a by 3, let q Þ - 12q = 218 - 518 = - 300
be the quotient and r be the remainder. By Euclid’s \ q = 25 (1/2)
and division Lemma, we have a = 3q + r, where
0 £ r < 2 i.e. r = 0,1, 2 On substituting the value of q in Eq. (i), we get
(i) When r = 0, a = 3q p + 25 = 74 Þ p = 49
Thus the three consecutive positive integers are Thus, we get p = 49 and q = 25
n = 3q , n + 1 = 3q + 1 and n + 2 = 3q + 2. \ 7 x = 49 and 5y = 25
Out of these, 3q is divisible by 3, 3q + 1 is not Þ 7 x = 7 2 and 5y = 52
divisible by 3 and 3q + 2 is also not divisible by 3.
(1) \ x = 2 and y = 2 [Q m a = m b Þ a = b]
(ii) When r = 1, a = 3q + 1 Hence, the solution of the given system of
Thus the three consecutive positive integer are equations is x = 2 and y = 2. Hence proved. (1)
n = 3q + 1, n + 1 = 3q + 2 and n + 2 = 3q + 3.
15. (i) Given pair of linear equations is
Out of these 3q + 1is not divisible by 3, 3q + 2 is
5x - 4 y + 8 = 0
not divisible by 3 and 3q + 3 = 3(q + 1) is divisible
by 3. (1) and 7x + 6 y - 9 = 0
