According to the question, we have
We reject the x = − 5 . Thus x = 3 and fraction = 3

6x − 17y + 3 = 0 ...(2) takes 1 hour more to go 32 km upstream than to
return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed
Comparing the equation with ax + by + c = 0 we get of the stream.
a1 = 2, b1 = − 1, c1 = 5 Ans :
a2 = 6, b2 = − 17, c2 = 3 Let the speed of stream be x km/h

Hence, x = 8, y = 3 x2 + 72x − 8x − 576 = 0
So, required number = 10 # 8 + 3 = 83 . x ^x + 72h − 8 ^x + 72h = 0
36. Find the HCF of 256 and 36 using Euclid’s Division ^x − 8h^x + 72h = 0
Algorithm. Also, find their LCM and verify that HCF
x = 8, − 72
× LCM = Product of the two numbers. [4]
Ans : Since speed cannot be negative, we reject x = − 72 .

By using Euclid’s Division Lemma, we have The speed of steam is 8 km/h.

256 = 36×7 + 4 38. ABCD is a rhombus whose diagonal AC makes an

angle α with AB. If cos α = 23 and OB = 3 cm, find
36 = 4×9 + 0 the length of its diagonals AC and BD . [4]
Hence, the HCF of 256 and 36 is 4.
LCM : 256 = 28
36 = 22 ×32
LCM (36, 256) = 28 ×32 = 256×9 = 2304
HCF × LCM = Product of the two number
4×2, 304 = 256×36
9216 = 9, 216 Hence verified.

and cos ^B + C − Ah = 1 = cos 45º
Diagonal BD = 2 # OB = 2 # 3 = 6 cm 2
and AC = 2AO or, B + C − A = 45º ...(2)

5 5 2B = 75º
or
or, B = 37.5º
Vertical angles of two isosceles triangles are equal. If Now subtracting equation (2) from equation (1) we
their areas are in the ratio 16 : 25, then find the ratio get,
of their altitudes drawn from vertex to the opposite
side. 2 ^A − C h = − 15º
Ans : or, A − C = 7.5º ...(3)
As per given condition we have drawn the figure Now A + B + C = 180º
below. A + B + C = 180º
A + C = 180c − 37.5c = 142.5º ...(4)
Adding equation (3) and (4), we have
2A = 135º
or, A = 67.5º
and, C = 75º
Hence, +A = 67.5º, +B = 37.5º, +C = 75º
