26 Let us assume that 2 + √ 3 is a rational number ½
a
Then we can write 2 + √ 3 = where and b are co primes 1
b

√3 = b – 2
½
a –2b
=
b ½
Since 2 , a and b are integers ,the RHS is rational ½
But this contradicts the fact that √ 3 is irrational.
Therefore 2 + √ 3 is irrational.

To Prove
AB + CD = AD+ BC
Proof
AP = AS ….. (1)
BP = BQ……(2)
CR = CQ……(3) Length of tangents from an
External point are equal 1
DR = DS……(4)
Adding
AP + BP +CR+DR = AS+DS+BQ+CQ
AB + CD = AD+ BC ½

32 Let the no. of correct answers by Lakshmi be x ½
and no. of wrong answers be y
4 x – y = 70 1
5 x – 2 y = 80 1
Solvin x = 20 and y = 10 1+1
No. of correct answers = 20 x
½
No. of wrong answers = 10
OR
Let the tens digit be x and unit digit be y ½
x + y = 12 ………. (1) 1
10 y + x – ( 10 x + y ) = 18 ½
– 9 x + 9 y = 18

– x + y = 2 ……….(2)
solving x = 5 and y = 7 1+1
Required two digit number = 57
33 a = 3 , d = 15 – 3 = 12 1
a 54 =a+53 d
a 54 =3+636=639 1
a 54 + 132 = 771
2
771 = 3 + ( n – 1 )12
1
Solving n = 65
65 th term of the AP is 132 more than its 54th term.
