10 If the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 180 cm. Then its area will be:
a. 900 cm 2
b. 900√3 cm 2
c. 300√3 cm 2
d. 600√3 cm 2
Answer: b
Explanation: Given, Perimeter = 180 cm

3a = 180 (Equilateral triangle)
a = 60 cm
Semi-perimeter = 180/2 = 90 cm
Now as per Heron’s formula,
A=s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
In the case of an equilateral triangle, a = b = c = 60 cm
Substituting these values in the Heron’s formula, we get the area of the triangle as:
A = √[90(90 – 60)(90 – 60)(90 – 60)]
= √(90× 30 × 30 × 30)
A = 900√3 cm2

c. 12/7, 13/7, 14/7
d.11/4, 12/4, 13/4
Answer: b
Explanation: There are many rational numbers between 3 and 4
To find 3 rational numbers, we need to multiply and divide both the numbers by 3+1 = 4
Hence, 3 x (4/4) = 12/4 and 4 x (4/4) = 16/4
Thus, three rational numbers between 12/4 and 16/4 are 13/4, 14/4 and 15/4.

SECTION B
Section B consists of 5 questions of 2 marks each.
21 Find five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5.
Solution:
We have to find five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5.
So, let us write the given numbers by multiplying with 6/6, (here 6 = 5 + 1)
Now,
3/5 = (3/5) × (6/6) = 18/30
4/5 = (4/5) × (6/6) = 24/30
Thus, the required five rational numbers will be: 19/30, 20/30, 21/30, 22/30, 23/30
22 Compute the value of 9x2 + 4y2 if xy = 6 and 3x + 2y = 12.

Solution:
Consider the equation 3x + 2y = 12
Now, square both sides:
(3x + 2y)2 = 122
=> 9x2 + 12xy + 4y2 = 144
=>9x2 + 4y2 = 144 – 12xy
From the questions, xy = 6
So,
9x2 + 4y2 = 144 – 72
Thus, the value of 9x2 + 4y2 = 72
Solution:
The given equation is
2x + 3y = k
According to the question, x = 2 and y = 1.
Now, Substituting the values of x and y in the equation 2x + 3y = k,
We get,
⇒(2 x 2)+ (3 × 1) = k
⇒4+3 = k
⇒7 = k
⇒k = 7
The value of k, if x = 2, y = 1 is a solution of the equation 2x + 3y = k, is 7.
OR
In a rectangle, one diagonal is inclined to one of its sides at 25°. Measure the acute
angle between the two diagonals.
Solution:
Let ABCD be a rectangle where AC and BD are the two diagonals which are intersecting
at point O.
Now, assume ∠BDC = 25° (given)
Now, ∠BDA = 90° – 25° = 65°
Also, ∠DAC = ∠BDA, (as diagonals of a rectangle divide the rectangle into two
congruent right triangles)
So, ∠BOA = the acute angle between the two diagonals = 180° – 65° – 65° = 50°
24 In Figure, ABCD is a parallelogram, AE ⊥ DC and CF ⊥ AD. If AB = 16 cm, AE = 8 cm and

CF = 10 cm, find AD.
Solution:
Given,
AB = CD = 16 cm (Opposite sides of a ||gm are equal)
CF = 10 cm and AE = 8 cm
Now,
Area of parallelogram = Base × Altitude
= CD × AE = AD × CF
⇒ 16 × 8 = AD × 10
⇒ AD = 128/10
⇒ AD = 12.8 cm
OR
If circles are drawn taking two sides of a triangle as diameters, prove that the point of
intersection of these circles lies on the third side.
Solution:
First, draw a triangle ABC and then two circles having a diameter as AB and AC
respectively.
We will have to now prove that D lies on BC and BDC is a straight line.
Proof:
As we know, angle in the semi-circle are equal
So, ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°
Hence, ∠ADB + ∠ADC = 180°
∴ ∠BDC is a straight line.
So, it can be said that D lies on the line BC.
25 Find the area of a triangle whose two sides are 18 cm and 10 cm and the perimeter is
42cm.
Solution:
Assume that the third side of the triangle to be “x”.
Now, the three sides of the triangle are 18 cm, 10 cm, and “x” cm
It is given that the perimeter of the triangle = 42cm
So, x = 42 – (18 + 10) cm = 14 cm
∴ The semi perimeter of triangle = 42/2 = 21 cm
Using Heron’s formula,
Area of the triangle,
= √[s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)]
= √[21(21 – 18) (21 – 10) (21 – 14)] cm2
= √[21 × 3 × 11 × 7] m2
= 21√11 cm2
SECTION C
Section C consists of 6 questions of 3 marks each.
26 In Fig. 6.40, ∠X = 62°, ∠XYZ = 54°. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY
respectively of Δ XYZ, find ∠OZY and ∠YOZ.
Solution:
As we know, the sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.
So, ∠X +∠XYZ + ∠XZY = 180°
substituting the values as given in the question we get,
62° + 54° + ∠XZY = 180°
Or, ∠XZY = 64°
Now, As we know, ZO is the bisector so,
∠OZY = ½ ∠XZY
∴ ∠OZY = 32°
Similarly, YO is a bisector and so,
∠OYZ = ½ ∠XYZ
Or, ∠OYZ = 27° (As ∠XYZ = 54°)
Now, as the sum of the interior angles of the triangle,
∠OZY +∠OYZ + ∠O = 180°
Substituting their respective values we get,
∠O = 180° – 32° – 27°
Or, ∠O = 121°
27 Find all the angles of a parallelogram if one angle is 80°.

Solution:
For a parallelogram ABCD, opposite angles are equal.
So, the angles opposite to the given 80° angle will also be 80°.
It is also known that the sum of angles of any quadrilateral = 360°.
So, if ∠A = ∠C = 80° then,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Also, ∠B = ∠D
Thus,
80° + ∠B + 80° + ∠D = 360°
Or, ∠B +∠ D = 200°
Hence, ∠B = ∠D = 100°
Now, all angles of the quadrilateral are found which are:
∠A = 80°
∠B = 100°
∠C = 80°
∠D = 100°
OR
Diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at E. Show that
ar(ΔAED) × ar(ΔBEC) = ar (ΔABE) × ar (ΔCDE).
[Hint: From A and C, draw perpendiculars to BD.]
Solution:
Given: The diagonal AC and BD of the quadrilateral ABCD, intersect each other at point
E.
Construction:
From A, draw AM perpendicular to BD
From C, draw CN perpendicular to BD
To Prove: ar(ΔAED) ar(ΔBEC) = ar

(ΔABE) ar (ΔCDE)
Proof:
ar(ΔABE) = ½ ×BE×AM………….. (i)
ar(ΔAED) = ½ ×DE×AM………….. (ii)
Dividing eq. (ii) by (i) , we get,
ar(ΔAED)/ar(ΔABE) = [1/2×DE×AM]/
[1/2×BE×AM]
= DE/BE ………..(iii)
Similarly,
ar(ΔCDE)/ar(ΔBEC) = DE/BE …….(iv)
From eq. (iii) and (iv), we get;
ar(ΔAED)/ar(ΔABE) = ar(ΔCDE)/ar(ΔBEC)
Therefore, ar(ΔAED) × ar(ΔBEC) = ar (ΔABE) × ar (ΔCDE)
28 ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals intersect at a point E. If ∠DBC = 70°,
∠BAC is 30°, find ∠BCD. Further, if AB = BC, find ∠ECD.
Solution:
Consider the following diagram.
Consider the chord CD,

As we know, angles in the same segment are
equal.
So, ∠CBD = ∠CAD
∴ ∠CAD = 70°
Now, ∠BAD will be equal to the sum of angles
BAC and CAD.
So, ∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD
= 30° + 70°
∴ ∠BAD = 100°
As we know, the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum up to 180 degrees.
So,
∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°
Since, ∠BAD = 100°
So, ∠BCD = 80°
Now consider the ΔABC.
Here, it is given that AB = BC
Also, ∠BCA = ∠CAB (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle)
∠BCA = 30°
also, ∠BCD = 80°
∠BCA + ∠ACD = 80°
So, ∠ACD = 50° and,
∠ECD = 50°
29 The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm. The ratio of the equal side to its base
is 3: 2. Find the area of the triangle.
Solution:
According to the question,
The perimeter of the isosceles triangle = 32 cm
It is also given that,
Ratio of equal side to base = 3 : 2
Let the equal side = 3x
So, base = 2x
Perimeter of the triangle = 32
⇒ 3x + 3x + 2x = 32
⇒ 8x = 32
⇒ x = 4.
Equal side = 3x = 3×4 = 12
Base = 2x = 2×4 = 8
The sides of the triangle = 12cm, 12cm and 8cm.
Let a = 12, b = 12, c = 8
s = (a + b + c)/2
⇒ s = (12 + 12 + 8)/2
= 32/2
= 16.
Area of the triangle = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
= √(16(16-12)(16-12)(16-8))
= √(16×4×4×8)
= 32√2 cm2
30 The slant height and base diameter of a conical tomb are 25 m and 14 m
respectively. Find the cost of white-washing its curved surface at the rate of Rs.210
per 100 sq.m.
Solution:
Given,
Slant height of a cone (l) = 25 m
Diameter of the base of cone = 2r = 14 m
∴ Radius = r = 7 m
Curved Surface Area = πrl
= (22/7) x 7 x 25
= 22 × 25
= 550 sq.m
Also, given that the cost of white-washing 100 sq.m = Rs. 210
Hence, the total cost of white-washing for 550 sq.m = (Rs. 210 × 550)/100 = Rs. 1155

What is the empirical probability that an engineer lives:
(i) less than 7 km from her place of work?
(ii) more than or equal to 7 km from her place of work?
(iii) within km from her place of work?
Solution:
The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work was
found as follows:
5 3 10 20 25 11 13 7 12 31 19 10 12 17 18 11 3 2 17 16 2 7 9 7 8 3 5 12 15 18 3 12 14 2
9 6 15 15 7 6 12
Total numbers of engineers = 40
(i) Number of engineers living less than 7 km from their place of work = 9
The probability that an engineer lives less than 7 km from her place of work =9/40
(ii) Number of engineers living more than or equal to 7 km from their place of work
= 40 – 9 = 31
The probability that an engineer lives more than or equal to 7 km from her place of
work
= 31/40
(iii) Number of engineers living within km from their place of work = 0
The probability that an engineer lives within km from her place of work = 0/40 = 0
31 Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle whose area is 25x2 – 35x + 12.
Solution:
Given,
Area of rectangle = 25x2 – 35x + 12
We know, area of rectangle = length × breadth
So, by factoring 25x2 – 35x + 12, the length and breadth can be obtained.
25x2 – 35x + 12 = 25x2 – 15x – 20x + 12
=> 25x2 – 35x + 12 = 5x(5x – 3) – 4(5x – 3)
=> 25x2 – 35x + 12 = (5x – 3)(5x – 4)
So, the length and breadth are (5x – 3)(5x – 4).
Now, perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
So, perimeter of the rectangle = 2[(5x – 3)+(5x – 4)]
= 2(5x – 3 + 5x – 4) = 2(10x – 7) = 20x – 14
So, the perimeter = 20x – 14

(i) 4x2+9y2+16z2+12xy–24yz–16xz
(ii) 2x2+y2+8z2–2√2xy+4√2yz–8xz
Solution:
(i) 4x2+9y2+16z2+12xy–24yz–16xz
Using identity, (x+y+z)2 = x2+y2+z2+2xy+2yz+2zx
We can say that, x2+y2+z2+2xy+2yz+2zx = (x+y+z)2
4x2+9y2+16z2+12xy–24yz–16xz = (2x)2+(3y)2+(−4z)2+(2×2x×3y)+(2×3y×−4z)+(2×−4z×2x)
= (2x+3y–4z)2
= (2x+3y–4z)(2x+3y–4z)
(ii) 2x2+y2+8z2–2√2xy+4√2yz–8xz
Using identity, (x +y+z)2 = x2+y2+z2+2xy+2yz+2zx
2x2+y2+8z2–2√2xy+4√2yz–8xz
= (-√2x)2+(y)2+(2√2z)2+(2×-√2x×y)+(2×y×2√2z)+(2×2√2×−√2x)
= (−√2x+y+2√2z)2
= (−√2x+y+2√2z)(−√2x+y+2√2z)
33 The taxi fare in a city is as follows: For the first kilometre, the fare is ₹8, and for the
subsequent distance, it is ₹5 per km. Taking the distance covered as x km and total
fare as ₹ y, write a linear equation for this information, and draw its graph.
Solution:
Given,
Total distance covered = x
Total fare = y
Fare for the first kilometre = 8 per km
Fare after the first 1km = 5 per km
If x is the total distance, then the distance after one km = (x-1)km
i.e., fare after the first km = 5(x-1)
The total fare = Fare of first km+ fare after the first km

OR
In Fig. 6.17, POQ is a line. Ray OR is perpendicular to line PQ. OS is another ray lying
between rays OP and OR. Prove that ∠ROS = ½ (∠QOS – ∠POS).
Solution:
In the question, it is given that (OR ⊥ PQ) and ∠POQ = 180°
So, ∠POS+∠ROS+∠ROQ = 180°
Now, ∠POS+∠ROS = 180°- 90° (Since ∠POR = ∠ROQ = 90°)
∴ ∠POS + ∠ROS = 90°
Now, ∠QOS = ∠ROQ+∠ROS
It is given that ∠ROQ = 90°
∴ ∠QOS = 90° +∠ROS
Or, ∠QOS – ∠ROS = 90°
As ∠POS + ∠ROS = 90° and ∠QOS – ∠ROS = 90°, we get
∠POS + ∠ROS = ∠QOS – ∠ROS
2 ∠ROS + ∠POS = ∠QOS
Or, ∠ROS = ½ (∠QOS – ∠POS) (Hence proved).
34 In Fig. 7.21, AC = AE, AB = AD and ∠BAD = ∠EAC. Show that BC = DE.
Solution:
It is given in the question that AB = AD, AC = AE, and ∠BAD = ∠EAC
To prove:
The line segment BC and DE are similar i.e. BC = DE
Proof:
We know that ∠BAD = ∠EAC
Now, by adding ∠DAC on both sides we get,
∠BAD + ∠DAC = ∠EAC +∠DAC
This implies, ∠BAC = ∠EAD
Now, ΔABC and ΔADE are similar by SAS congruency since:
(i) AC = AE (As given in the question)
(ii) ∠BAC = ∠EAD
(iii) AB = AD (It is also given in the question)
∴ Triangles ABC and ADE are similar i.e. ΔABC ≅ ΔADE.
So, by the rule of CPCT, it can be said that BC = DE.
35 Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other at right
angles, then it is a square.
Solution:
Given that,
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral and its diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at a right angle
at O.
To prove that,
The Quadrilateral ABCD is a square.
Proof,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite)
OB = OD (Diagonals bisect each other)
, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD [SAS congruency]
Thus,
AB = CD [CPCT] — (i)
also,
∠OAB = ∠OCD (Alternate interior angles)
⇒ AB || CD
Now,
In ΔAOD and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOD = ∠COD (Vertically opposite)
OD = OD (Common)
, ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOD [SAS congruency]
Thus,
AD = CD [CPCT] — (ii)
also,
AD = BC and AD = CD
⇒ AD = BC = CD = AB — (ii)
also, ∠ADC = ∠BCD [CPCT]
and ∠ADC+∠BCD = 180° (co-interior angles)
⇒ 2∠ADC = 180°
⇒∠ADC = 90° — (iii)
One of the interior angles is a right angle.
Thus, from (i), (ii) and (iii), given quadrilateral ABCD is a square.
Hence Proved.
OR
If E, F, G and H are respectively the mid-points of the sides of a parallelogram ABCD,
show that ar (EFGH) = 1/2 ar(ABCD).
Solution:
Given,
E, F, G and H are the mid-points of the sides of a parallelogram ABCD respectively.
To Prove,
ar (EFGH) = ½ ar(ABCD)
Construction,
H and F are joined.
Proof,
AD || BC and AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
⇒ ½ AD = ½ BC
Also,
AH || BF and and DH || CF
⇒ AH = BF and DH = CF (H and F are mid points)
∴, ABFH and HFCD are parallelograms.
Now,
We know that, ΔEFH and parallelogram ABFH, both lie on the same FH the common
base and in-between the same parallel lines AB and HF.
∴ area of EFH = ½ area of ABFH — (i)
And, area of GHF = ½ area of HFCD — (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
area of ΔEFH + area of ΔGHF = ½ area of ABFH + ½ area of HFCD
⇒ area of EFGH = area of ABFH
∴ ar (EFGH) = ½ ar(ABCD)

5 The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 5 : 3: 7. The triangle is

(b) an acute-angled triangle
(c) an obtuse-angled triangle
(d) an isosceles triangle
Answer: b
Explanation: If the angles are in the ratio of 5:3:7,
We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
Therefore, 5x+3x+7x = 180°
15x = 180°
x = 180°/15 = 12°
Thus, 5x = 5(12°) =60°
3x = 3(12°) =36°
7x = 7(12°) =84°
Since all the angles are less than 90°, the triangle is an acute angle triangle.

10 The equal sides of the isosceles triangle are 12 cm, and the perimeter is 30 cm. The
area of this triangle is:
a. 9√15 sq.cm
b. 6√15 sq.cm
c. 3√15 sq.cm
d. √15 sq.cm
Answer: a
Explanation: Given,
Perimeter = 30 cm
Semiperimeter, s = 30/2 = 15 cm
a = b = 12 cm
c=?
a + b + c = 30
12 + 12 + c = 30
c = 30 – 24 = 6 cm
Using Heron’s formula:
= √[15(15 – 12)(15 – 12)(15 – 6)]

= √(15 × 3 × 3 × 9)
= 9√15 sq.cm

17 Angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2: 4 : 3. The smallest angle of the triangle is
(a) 20°
(b) 40°
(c) 60°
(d) 80°
Answer: b
Explanation:
Given that, the angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 2:4:3
By using the angle sum property of the triangle
2x+4x+3x = 180°
9x = 180°
x= 20
Therefore,
2x = 2(20) = 40°
4x = 4(20) = 80°
3x = 3(20) = 60°
Hence, the angles are 40°, 80° and 60°.
Therefore, the smallest angle of a triangle is 40°.

SECTION B
21 Hameed has built a cubical water tank with a lid for his house, with each outer edge 1.5
m long. He gets the outer surface of the tank excluding the base, covered with square
tiles of side 25 cm (see in the figure below). Find how much he would spend on the tiles
if the cost of the tiles is Rs.360 per dozen.
Solution:
Given,
Edge of the cubical tank (a) = 1.5 m = 150 cm
So, surface area of the tank = 5 × 150 × 150 cm2
The measure of side of a square tile = 25 cm
Area of each square tile = side × side = 25 × 25 cm 2
Required number of tiles = (Surface area of the tank)/(area of each tile)
= (5 × 150 × 150)/(25 × 25)
= 180
Also, given that the cost of the tiles is Rs. 360 per dozen.
Thus, the cost of each tile = Rs. 360/12 = Rs. 30
Hence, the total cost of 180 tiles = 180 × Rs. 30 = Rs. 5400
22 The number of family members in 10 flats of society are

2, 4, 3, 3, 1,0,2,4,1,5.
Find the mean number of family members per flat.
Solution:
Number of family members in 10 flats -2, 4, 3, 3, 1, 0, 2, 4, 1, 5.
So, we get,
Mean = sum of observation/ total no of observations
Mean = (2 + 4+ 3 + 3 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 5) / 10
Mean = 25/10 = 2.5
23 Compute the probability of the occurrence of an event if the probability the event not
occurring is 0.56.
Solution:
Given,
P(not E) = 0.56
We know that,
P(E) + P(not E) = 1
So, P(E) = 1 – P(not E)
P(E) = 1 – 0.56
Or, P(E) = 0.44
OR
Find the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = 2 and x = –1.
Solution:
Let the polynomial be f(x) = 5x – 4x2 + 3
Now, for x = 2,
f(2) = 5(2) – 4(2)2 + 3
=> f(2) = 10 – 16 + 3 = –3
Or, the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = 2 is -3.
Similarly, for x = –1,
f(–1) = 5(–1) – 4(–1)2 + 3
=> f(–1) = –5 –4 + 3 = -6
The value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = -1 is -6.
24 ABC is an isosceles triangle in which altitudes BE and CF are drawn to equal sides AC
and AB respectively. Show that these altitudes are equal.
Solution:
Given:
(i) BE and CF are altitudes.
(ii) AC = AB
To prove:
BE = CF
Proof:
Triangles ΔAEB and ΔAFC are similar by AAS congruency, since;
∠A = ∠A (common arm)
∠AEB = ∠AFC (both are right angles)
AB = AC (Given)
∴ ΔAEB ≅ ΔAFC
and BE = CF (by CPCT).
OR
In a trapezium ABCD, AB∥CD. Calculate ∠C and ∠D if ∠A = 55° and ∠B = 70°
Solution:
In a trapezium ABCD, ∠A + ∠D = 180° and ∠B + ∠C = 180°
So, 55° + ∠D = 180°
Or, ∠D = 125°
Similarly,
70° + ∠C = 180°
Or, ∠C = 110°
25 In a triangle ABC, E is the mid-point of median AD. Show that ar(BED) = 1/4 ar(ABC).
Solution:
ar(BED) = ½ × BD × DE
Since, E is the mid-point of AD,
AE = DE
Since, AD is the median on side BC of triangle ABC,
BD = DC
DE = ½ AD — (i)
BD = ½ BC — (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get,
ar(BED) = (1/2) × (½) BC × (1/2)AD
⇒ ar(BED) = (½) × (½) ar(ABC)
⇒ ar(BED) = ¼ ar(ABC)
SECTION C
26 Show that the points A (1, 2), B ( – 1, – 16) and C (0, – 7) lie on the graph of the linear
equation y = 9x – 7.
Solution:
We have the equation,
y = 9x – 7
For A (1, 2),
Substituting (x,y) = (1, 2),
We get,
2 = 9(1) – 7
2=9–7
2=2
For B (–1, –16),
Substituting (x,y) = (–1, –16),
We get,
–16 = 9(–1) – 7
-16 = – 9 – 7
-16 = – 16
For C (0, –7),
Substituting (x,y) = (0, –7),
We get,
– 7 = 9(0) – 7
-7 = 0 – 7
-7 = – 7
Hence, the points A (1, 2), B (–1, –16) and C (0, –7) satisfy the line y = 9x – 7.
Thus, A (1, 2), B (–1, –16) and C (0, –7) are solutions of the linear equation y = 9x – 7
Therefore, the points A (1, 2), B (–1, –16), C (0, –7) lie on the graph of linear equation y =
9x – 7.
27 A circular park of radius 20m is situated in a colony. Three boys Ankur, Syed and David
are sitting at equal distance on its boundary each having a toy telephone in his hands to
talk each other. Find the length of the string of each phone.
Solution:
First, draw a diagram according to the given statements. The diagram will look as follows.
Here the positions of Ankur, Syed and David are represented as A, B and C respectively.
Since they are sitting at equal distances, the triangle ABC will form an equilateral triangle.
AD ⊥ BC is drawn. Now, AD is median of ΔABC and it passes through the centre O.
Also, O is the centroid of the ΔABC. OA is the radius of the triangle.
OA = 2/3 AD
Let the side of a triangle a metres then BD = a/2 m.
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABD,
AB2 = BD2 + AD2
⇒ AD2 = AB2 – BD2
⇒ AD2 = a2 – (a/2)2
⇒ AD2 = 3a2/4
⇒ AD = √3a/2
OA = 2/3 AD
⇒ 20 m = 2/3 × √3a/2
⇒ a = 20√3 m
So, the length of the string of the toy is 20√3 m.
OR

28 The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12: 17: 25 and its perimeter is 540cm. Find its
area.
Solution:
The ratio of the sides of the triangle is given as 12: 17: 25
Now, let the common ratio between the sides of the triangle be “x”
∴ The sides are 12x, 17x and 25x
It is also given that the perimeter of the triangle = 540 cm
12x + 17x + 25x = 540 cm
=> 54x = 540cm
So, x = 10
Now, the sides of the triangle are 120 cm, 170 cm, 250 cm.
So, the semi perimeter of the triangle (s) = 540/2 = 270 cm
Area of the triangle
= 9000 cm2
29 A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water
will fall into the sea in a minute?
Solution:
Given,
Depth of the river (h) = 3 m
Width of the river (w) = 40 m
Flow rate of water = 2 km/hr
i.e. Flow of water in 1 hour = 2 km = 2000 m
Flow of water in 1 minute = 2000/60 = 100/3 m
Thus, length (l) = 100/3 m
Volume of water falling into the sea in 1 minute = Volume of cuboid with dimension l, w, h
=l×w×h
= (100/3) × 40 × 3
= 4000 m 3
= 4000 x 1000 L
= 4000000 L

An organisation selected 2400 families at random and surveyed them to determine a
relationship between income level and the number of vehicles in a family. The
information gathered is listed in the table below:
Vehicles per family

Monthly income
(in ₹)
0 1 2 Above 2
Less than 7000 10 160 25 0
7000-10000 0 305 27 2
10000-13000 1 535 29 1
13000-16000 2 469 59 25
16000 or more 1 579 82 88
Suppose a family is chosen. Find the probability that the family has chosen is
1. earning ₹10000 – 13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles.

2. earning ₹16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle.
3. earning less than ₹7000 per month and does not own any vehicle.
4. earning ₹13000 – 16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles.
5. owning not more than 1 vehicle.
Solution:
Total number of families = 2400
(i) Numbers of families earning ₹10000 –13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles =
29
Therefore, the probability that the family earning between ₹10000 – 13000 per month
and owning exactly 2 vehicle = 29/2400
(ii) Number of families earning ₹16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle =
579
Therefore, the probability that the family earning between ₹16000 or more per month
and owning exactly 1 vehicle = 579/2400
(iii) Number of families earning less than ₹7000 per month and does not own any vehicle
= 10
Therefore, the probability that the family earning less than ₹7000 per month and does
not own any vehicle = 10/2400 = 1/240
(iv) Number of families earning ₹13000-16000 per month and owning more than 2
vehicles = 25
Therefore, the probability that the family earning between ₹13000 – 16000 per month
and owning more than 2 vehicles = 25/2400 = 1/96
(v) Number of families owning not more than 1 vehicle =
10+160+0+305+1+535+2+469+1+579 = 2062
Therefore, the probability that the family owns not more than 1 vehicle = 2062/2400 =
1031/1200
30 Find the value of x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz if x2 + y2 + z2 = 83 and x + y + z = 15
Solution:
Consider the equation x + y + z = 15
From algebraic identities, we know that (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
So,
(x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(xy + yz + xz)
From the question, x2 + y2 + z2 = 83 and x + y + z = 15
So,
152 = 83 + 2(xy + yz + xz)
=> 225 – 83 = 2(xy + yz + xz)
Or, xy + yz + xz = 142/2 = 71
Using algebraic identity a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca),
x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x² + y² + z² – (xy + yz + xz))
Now,
x + y + z = 15, x² + y² + z² = 83 and xy + yz + xz = 71
So, x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 15(83 – 71)
=> x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 15 × 12
Or, x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 180
31 Draw the graph of the linear equation 3x + 4y = 6. At what points, the graph cuts X and
Y-axis?
Solution: Given equation,
3x + 4y = 6.
We need at least 2 points on the graph to draw the graph of this equation,
Thus, the points the graph cuts
(i) x-axis
Since the point is on the x-axis, we have y = 0.
Substituting y = 0 in the equation, 3x + 4y = 6,
We get,
3x + 4×0 = 6
⇒ 3x = 6
⇒x=2
Hence, the point at which the graph cuts x-axis = (2, 0).
(ii) y-axis
Since the point is on the y-axis, we have, x = 0.
Substituting x = 0 in the equation, 3x + 4y = 6,
We get,
3×0 + 4y = 6
⇒ 4y = 6
⇒ y = 6/4
⇒ y = 3/2
⇒ y = 1.5
Hence, the point at which the graph cuts y-axis = (0, 1.5).
Plotting the points (0, 1.5) and (2, 0) on the graph.

Triangle ΔPOO’ and ΔQOO’ are similar by SSS congruency since
OP = OQ and O’P = OQ (Since they are also the radii)
OO’ = OO’ (It is the common side)
So, It can be said that ΔPOO’ ≅ ΔQOO’
∴ ∠POO’ = ∠QOO’ — (i)
Even triangles ΔPOR and ΔQOR are similar by SAS congruency as
OP = OQ (Radii)
∠POR = ∠QOR (As ∠POO’ = ∠QOO’)
OR = OR (Common arm)
So, ΔPOR ≅ ΔQOR
∴ ∠PRO = ∠QRO
Also, we know that
∠PRO+∠QRO = 180°
Hence, ∠PRO = ∠QRO = 180°/2 = 90°
So, OO’ is the perpendicular bisector of PQ.
33 Construct a triangle PQR in which QR = 6cm, ∠Q = 60° and PR–PQ = 2cm.
1. Draw a line segment of base QR = 6 cm
2. Measure and draw ∠Q = 60° and let the ray be QX
3. Take a compass and measure PR–PQ = 2cm.
4. Since PR–PQ is negative, QD will be below the line QR.
5. With Q as centre and draw an arc at the point be D on the ray QX
6. Join DR
7. Now draw the perpendicular bisector of the line DR and the intersection point is taken
as P.
8. Now join PR
9. Therefore, PQR is the required triangle.

Sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12 : 17 : 25 and its perimeter is 540cm. Find its
area.
Solution:
The ratio of the sides of the triangle are given as 12 : 17 : 25
12x+17x+25x = 540 cm
54x = 540cm
So, x = 10
Now, the sides of triangle are 120 cm, 170 cm, 250 cm.

34 A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and another cuboidal box is 12.5cm long, 10 cm wide
and 8 cm high
(i) Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?
(ii) Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?
Solution:
From the question statement, we have
Edge of a cube = 10cm
Length, l = 12.5 cm
Breadth, b = 10cm
Height, h = 8 cm
(i) Find the lateral surface area for both the figures
Lateral surface area of cubical box = 4 (edge)2
= 4(10)2
= 400 cm2 …(1)
Lateral surface area of cuboidal box = 2[lh+bh]
= [2(12.5×8+10×8)]
= (2×180) = 360
Therefore, Lateral surface area of cuboidal box is 360 cm2. …(2)
From (1) and (2), lateral surface area of the cubical box is more than the lateral surface
area of the cuboidal box. The difference between both the lateral surfaces is, 40 cm 2.
(Lateral surface area of cubical box – Lateral surface area of cuboidal box=400cm2–
360cm2 = 40 cm2)
(ii) Find the total surface area for both the figures
The total surface area of the cubical box = 6(edge) 2 = 6(10 cm)2 = 600 cm2…(3)
Total surface area of cuboidal box
= 2[lh+bh+lb]
= [2(12.5×8+10×8+12.5×100)]
= 610
This implies, Total surface area of cuboidal box is 610 cm2..(4)
From (3) and (4), the total surface area of the cubical box is smaller than that of the
cuboidal box. And their difference is 10cm2.
Therefore, the total surface area of the cubical box is smaller than that of the cuboidal
box by 10 cm2

35 Represent (√9.3) on the number line.

Solution:
Step 1: Draw a 9.3 units long line segment, AB. Extend AB to C such that BC=1 unit.
Step 2: Now, AC = 10.3 units. Let the centre of AC be O.
Step 3: Draw a semi-circle of radius OC with centre O.
Step 4: Draw a BD perpendicular to AC at point B intersecting the semicircle at D. Join OD.
Step 5: OBD, obtained, is a right angled triangle.
Here, OD 10.3/2 (radius of semi-circle), OC = 10.3/2 , BC = 1
OB = OC – BC
⟹ (10.3/2)-1 = 8.3/2
Using Pythagoras theorem,
We get,
OD2=BD2+OB2
⟹ (10.3/2)2 = BD2+(8.3/2)2
⟹ BD2 = (10.3/2)2-(8.3/2)2
⟹ (BD)2 = (10.3/2)-(8.3/2)(10.3/2)+(8.3/2)
⟹ BD2 = 9.3
⟹ BD = √9.3
Thus, the length of BD is √9.3.
Step 6: Taking BD as radius and B as centre draw an arc which touches the line segment.
The point where it touches the line segment is at a distance of √9.3 from O as shown in
the figure.

3 Each angle of the rectangle is:
a. More than 90°
b. Less than 90°
c. Equal to 90°
d. Equal to 45°
Answer: c
Explanation: Let ABCD is a rectangle, and ∠A = 90°
AD || BC and AB is a transversal
∠ A + ∠ B = 180° (Interior angles on the same side of the transversal)
∠ A = 90°
So, ∠ B = 180° – ∠ A = 180° – 90° = 90°
Now, ∠ C = ∠ A and ∠ D = ∠ B (Opposite angles of the parallelogram)
So, ∠ C = 90° and ∠ D = 90°
Hence all sides are equals to 90°.

statement is
(a) First Axiom
(b) Second Axiom
(c) Third axiom
(d) Fourth Axiom
Answer: b
Explanation: By using Euclid’s second axiom, if equals are added to equals then wholes
are equal. Hence, if z has been added to both the sides of equation x + y = 10, then it
becomes x + y + z = 10 + z.
13 In the given figure, POQ is a line. The value of x is

(a) 20
(b) 25
(c) 30

c. 52°, 60°, 122°, 126°
d. 60°, 60°, 120°, 120°
Answer: b
Explanation: Let x be the common angle among all the four angles of a quadrilateral.
As per angle sum property, we know:
4x+5x+10x+11x = 360°
30x = 360°
x = 12°
Hence, angles are
4x = 4 (12) = 48°
5x = 5 (12) = 60°
10x = 10 (12) = 120°
11x = 11 (12) = 132°
16 If AB = 12 cm, BC = 16 cm and AB is perpendicular to BC, then the radius of the

circle passing through the points A, B and C is:
(a) 6 cm
(b) 8 cm
(c) 10 cm
(d) 12 cm
Answer: c
Explanation:
Given that AB = 12 cm, BC = 16 cm and AB is perpendicular to BC.
Hence, AC is the diameter of the circle passing through points A, B and C.

Hence, ABC is a right-angled triangle.
Thus by using the Pythagoras theorem:
AC2 = (CB)2 + (AB)2
⇒ AC2 = (16)2 + (12)2
⇒ AC2 = 256 + 144
⇒ AC2 = 400
Hence, the diameter of the circle, AC = 20 cm.
Thus, the radius of the circle is 10 cm.

18 The edges of a triangular board are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm. The cost of painting it at
the rate of 9 paise per cm2 is
(a) Rs 2.00
(b) Rs 2.16
(c) Rs 2.48
(d) Rs 3.00
Answer: b
Explanation:
Given: a = 6 cm, b = 8 cm, c = 10 cm.
s = (6 + 8 + 10)/2 = 12 cm
Hence, by using Heron’s formula, we can write:
A = √[12(12 – 6)(12 – 8)(12 – 10)] = √[(12)(6)(4)(2)] = √576 = 24 cm 2
Therefore, the cost of painting at a rate of 9 paise per cm 2 = 24 × 9 paise = Rs. 2.16

21 If the non-parallel sides of a trapezium are equal, prove that it is cyclic.
Solution:
Construction-Consider a trapezium ABCD with AB||CD and BC = AD.
Draw AM ⊥CD and BN ⊥ CD
In ∆AMD and ∆BNC;

AD = BC (Given)
∠AMD = ∠BNC (90°)
AM =BN (perpendiculars between
parallel lines)
∆AMD = ∆BNC (By RHS congruency)
∆ADC = ∆BCD (By CPCT rule) …….(i)
∠BAD and ∠ADC are on the same side of transversal AD.
∠BAD + ∠ADC = 180° ……(ii)
∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180° (by equation (i))
Since, the opposite angles are supplementary, therefore, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
22 A rhombus-shaped field has green grass for 18 cows to graze. If each side of the
rhombus is 30 m and its longer diagonal is 48 m, how much area of grass field will
each cow be getting?
Solution:
Draw a rhombus-shaped field first with the vertices as ABCD. The diagonal AC divides
the rhombus into two congruent triangles which are having equal areas. The diagram
is as follows.
Consider the triangle BCD,

Its semi-perimeter = (48 + 30 + 30)/2 m = 54 m
Area of the ΔBCD =
= 432 m2
∴ Area of field = 2 × area of the ΔBCD = (2 × 432) m2 = 864 m2
Thus, the area of the grass field that each cow will be getting = (864/18) m 2 = 48 m2

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 sq.cm. Find
the diameter of the base of the cylinder.
Solution:
Let d be the diameter and r be the radius of a right circular cylinder.
Given,
Height of cylinder (h) = 14 cm
Curved surface area of right circular cylinder = 88 cm2
⇒ 2πrh = 88 cm2
⇒ πdh = 88 cm2 (since d = 2r)
⇒ 22/7 x d x 14 cm = 88 cm2
⇒ d = 2 cm
Hence, the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 2 cm.

In a factory of 364 workers, 91 are married. Find the probability of selecting a

worker who is not married.
Solution:
Given,
Total workers (i.e. Sample space) = n(S) = 364
Total married workers = 91
Now, total workers who are not married = n(E) = 364 – 91 = 273
Method 1: So, P(not married) = n(E)/n(S) = 273/364 = 0.75
Method 2: P(married) + P(not married) = 1
Here, P(married) = 91/364 = 0.25
So, 0.25 + P(not married) = 1
P(not married) = 1 – 0.25 = 0.75

27 In Fig. 6.33, PQ and RS are two mirrors placed parallel to each other. An incident ray
AB strikes the mirror PQ at B, the reflected ray moves along the path BC and strikes
the mirror RS at C and again reflects back along CD. Prove that AB || CD.
Solution:
First, draw two lines BE and CF such that BE ⊥ PQ and CF ⊥ RS.
Now, since PQ || RS,
So, BE || CF
BE and CF are normals between the incident ray and reflected ray.
As we know,
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection (By the law of reflection)
So,
∠1 = ∠2 and
∠3 = ∠4
We also know that alternate interior angles are equal.
Here, BE ⊥ CF and the transversal line BC cuts them at B and C.
So, ∠2 = ∠3 (As they are alternate interior angles)
Now, ∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 + ∠4
Or, ∠ABC = ∠DCB
So, AB ∥ CD (alternate interior angles are equal)
OR
In the Figure, PR > PQ and PS bisect ∠QPR. Prove that ∠PSR > ∠PSQ.
Solution:
Given, PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠QPR
To prove: ∠PSR > ∠PSQ
Proof:
∠QPS = ∠RPS — (1) (PS bisects ∠QPR)
∠PQR > ∠PRQ — (2) (Since PR > PQ as angle opposite to the larger side is always
larger)
∠PSR = ∠PQR + ∠QPS — (3) (Since the exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of
opposite interior angles)
∠PSQ = ∠PRQ + ∠RPS — (4) (As the exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of
opposite interior angles)
By adding (1) and (2)
∠PQR + ∠QPS > ∠PRQ + ∠RPS
Now, from (1), (2), (3) and (4), we get
∠PSR > ∠PSQ.

Solution:
LMNO is a parallelogram in which bisectors of the angles L, M, N, and O intersect at P,
Q, R and S to form the quadrilateral PQRS.
LM || NO (opposite sides of parallelogram LMNO)
L + M = 180 (sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o)
MLS + LMS = 90
In LMS, MLS + LMS + LSM = 180
90 + LSM = 180
LSM = 90
RSP = 90 (vertically opposite angles)
SRQ = 90, RQP = 90 and SPQ = 90
Therefore, PQRS is a rectangle.
Solution:
Given,
25x2 – 35x + 12 = 25x2 – 15x – 20x + 12
=> 25x2 – 35x + 12 = 5x(5x – 3) – 4(5x – 3)
=> 25x2 – 35x + 12 = (5x – 3)(5x – 4)
= 2(5x – 3 + 5x – 4) = 2(10x – 7) = 20x – 14

Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the
values of a, b and c in each case:
(i) x – y/5 – 10 = 0
(ii) -2x+3y = 6
(iii) y – 2 = 0
Solution:
(i) The equation x-y/5-10 = 0 can be written as:
(1)x + (-1/5) y + (-10) = 0
Now compare the above equation with ax + by + c = 0
Thus, we get;
a=1
b = -⅕
c = -10
(ii) –2x + 3y = 6
Re-arranging the given equation, we get,
–2x + 3y – 6 = 0
The equation –2x + 3y – 6 = 0 can be written as,
(–2)x + 3y +(– 6) = 0
Now comparing (–2)x + 3y +(– 6) = 0 with ax + by + c = 0
We get, a = –2
b=3
c = -6
(iii) y – 2 = 0
Solution:
y–2=0
The equation y – 2 = 0 can be written as,
0x + 1y + (–2) = 0
Now comparing 0x + 1y + (–2) = 0with ax + by + c = 0
We get, a = 0
b=1
c = –2
30 In the Figure, lines XY and MN intersect at O. If ∠POY = 90° and a : b = 2 : 3, find c.
Solution:
As we know, the sum of the linear pair is always equal to 180°
So,
∠POY + a + b = 180°
Substituting the value of ∠POY = 90° (as given in the question) we get,
a + b = 90°
Now, it is given that a : b = 2 : 3 so,
Let a be 2x and b be 3x.
∴ 2x + 3x = 90°
Solving this we get
5x = 90°
So, x = 18°
∴ a = 2 × 18° = 36°
Similarly, b can be calculated and the value will be
b = 3 × 18° = 54°
From the diagram, b + c also forms a straight angle so,
b + c = 180°
=> c + 54° = 180°
∴ c = 126°
31 AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a line segment AB. Show that CD bisects AB.
Solution:
Given, AD and BC are two equal perpendiculars to AB.
To prove: CD is the bisector of AB
Proof:
Triangles ΔAOD and ΔBOC are similar by AAS congruency
Since:
(i) ∠A = ∠B (perpendicular angles)
(ii) AD = BC (given)
(iii) ∠AOD = ∠BOC (vertically opposite angles)
∴ ΔAOD ≅ ΔBOC.
So, AO = OB ( by CPCT).
Thus, CD bisects AB (Hence proved).

(i) x3+y3 = (x+y)(x2–xy+y2)
(ii) x3–y3 = (x–y)(x2+xy+y2)
Solutions:
(i) x3+y3 = (x+y)(x2–xy+y2)
We know that, (x+y)3 = x3+y3+3xy(x+y)
⇒ x3+y3 = (x+y)3–3xy(x+y)
⇒ x3+y3 = (x+y)[(x+y)2–3xy]
Taking (x+y) common ⇒ x3+y3 = (x+y)[(x2+y2+2xy)–3xy]
⇒ x3+y3 = (x+y)(x2+y2–xy)
(ii) x3–y3 = (x–y)(x2+xy+y2)
We know that, (x–y)3 = x3–y3–3xy(x–y)
⇒ x3−y3 = (x–y)3+3xy(x–y)
⇒ x3−y3 = (x–y)[(x–y)2+3xy]
Taking (x+y) common ⇒ x3−y3 = (x–y)[(x2+y2–2xy)+3xy]
⇒ x3+y3 = (x–y)(x2+y2+xy)

In countries like USA and Canada, the temperature is measured in Fahrenheit,
whereas in countries like India, it is measured in Celsius. Here is a linear equation
that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius:
(i) Draw the graph of the linear equation above using Celsius for the x-axis and
Fahrenheit for the y-axis.
(ii) If the temperature is 30°C, what is the temperature in Fahrenheit?
(iii) If the temperature is 95°F, what is the temperature in Celsius?
(iv) If the temperature is 0°C, what is the temperature in Fahrenheit, and if the
temperature is 0°F, what is the temperature in Celsius?
(v) Is there a temperature which is numerically the same in both Fahrenheit and
Celsius? If yes, find it.
Solution:
(i) According to the question,
F = (9/5)C + 32
We get,
When C = 0, F = 32
When C = -10 , F = 14
The points to be plotted are (0, 32), (-10, 14)
(ii) When C = 30,

F = (9/5)C +32
F = (9×30)/5+32
= (9×6)+32
= 54+32
= 86oF
(iii) When F = 95,
95 = (9/5)C +32
(9/5)C = 95-32
(9/5)C =63
C = (63×5)/9
=35oC
(iv) When C = 0,
F = (9/5)C +32
F = (9×0)/5 +32
=0+32
=32oF
When F = 0,
0 = (9/5)C+32
(9/5)C = 0-32
(9/5)C = -32
C = (-32×5)/9
=-17.7777
=-17.8oC
(v) When F = C,
C = (9/5)C+32
C – (9/5)C = 32
(5-9)C/5 =32
(-4/5)C = 32
(-4/5)C = (-32×5)/4
= – 40oC
Hence, -40o is the temperature which is numerically the same in both Fahrenheit and
Celsius.

Solution:
It is known that AB || CD and CD||EF
As the angles on the same side of a transversal line sum up to 180°,
x + y = 180° —–(i)
Also,
∠O = z (Since they are corresponding angles)
and, y +∠O = 180° (Since they are a linear pair)
So, y+z = 180°
Now, let y = 3w and hence, z = 7w (As y : z = 3 : 7)
∴ 3w+7w = 180°
Or, 10 w = 180°
So, w = 18°
Now, y = 3×18° = 54°
and, z = 7×18° = 126°
Now, angle x can be calculated from equation (i)
x+y = 180°
Or, x+54° = 180°
∴ x = 126°

AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB
such that ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB (see Fig. 7.22). Show that
(i) ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP
(ii) AD = BE
Solutions:
In the question, it is given that P is the mid-point of line segment AB. Also, ∠BAD =
∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB
(i) It is given that ∠EPA = ∠DPB
Now, add ∠DPE on both sides,
∠EPA +∠DPE = ∠DPB+∠DPE
This implies that angles DPA and EPB are equal i.e. ∠DPA = ∠EPB
Now, consider the triangles DAP and EBP.
∠DPA = ∠EPB
AP = BP (Since P is the mid-point of the line segment AB)
∠BAD = ∠ABE (As given in the question)
So, by ASA congruency, ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP.
(ii) By the rule of CPCT, AD = BE.

(iv) AQ = CP
(v) APCQ is a parallelogram
Solution:
(i) In ΔAPD and ΔCQB,
DP = BQ (Given)
∠ADP = ∠CBQ (Alternate interior angles)
AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Thus, ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB [SAS congruency]
(ii) AP = CQ by CPCT as ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB.
(iii) In ΔAQB and ΔCPD,
BQ = DP (Given)
∠ABQ = ∠CDP (Alternate interior angles)
AB = CD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Thus, ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD [SAS congruency]

AQ = CP [CPCT]
(v) From the questions (ii) and (iv), it is clear that APCQ has equal opposite sides and
also has equal and opposite angles. , APCQ is a parallelogram.

(3×4) = (ax3) + 7
⇒ 12 = 3a+7
⇒ 3a = 12–7

22 In Fig. 6.40, ∠X = 62°, ∠XYZ = 54°. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY
Solution:
As we know, the sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.
So, ∠X +∠XYZ + ∠XZY = 180°
substituting the values as given in the question we get,
62° + 54° + ∠XZY = 180°
Or, ∠XZY = 64°
Now, As we know, ZO is the bisector so,
∠OZY = ½ ∠XZY
∴ ∠OZY = 32°
Similarly, YO is a bisector and so,
∠OYZ = ½ ∠XYZ
Or, ∠OYZ = 27° (As ∠XYZ = 54°)
∠OZY +∠OYZ + ∠O = 180°
∠O = 180° – 32° – 27°
Or, ∠O = 121°
23 Calculate all the angles of a parallelogram if one of its angles is twice its adjacent angle.
Solution:
Let the angle of the parallelogram given in the question statement be “x”.
Now, its adjacent angle will be 2x.
It is known that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
So, all the angles of a parallelogram will be x, 2x, x, and 2x
As the sum of interior angles of a parallelogram = 360°,
x + 2x + x + 2x = 360°
Or, x = 60°
Thus, all the angles will be 60°, 120°, 60°, and 120°.

In the figure, ABC and ABD are two triangles on the same base AB. If line- segment CD is
bisected by AB at O, show that: ar(ABC) = ar(ABD).
Solution:
In ΔABC, AO is the median. (CD is bisected by AB at O)
∴ ar(AOC) = ar(AOD) — (i)
also,
ΔBCD, BO is the median. (CD is bisected by AB at O)
∴ ar(BOC) = ar(BOD) — (ii)
ar(AOC) + ar(BOC) = ar(AOD) + ar(BOD)
⇒ ar(ABC) = ar(ABD)
24 In Figure, ∠ABC = 69°, ∠ ACB = 31°, find ∠BDC.
Solution:
As we know, angles in the segment of the circle are equal so,

∠BAC = ∠BDC
Now in the In ΔABC, sum of all the interior angles will be 180°
So, ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180°
Now, by putting the values,
∠BAC = 180° – 69° – 31°
So, ∠BAC = 80°
25 Find the cost of laying grass in a triangular field of sides 50 m, 65 m and 65 m at the
rate of Rs 7 per m2.
Solution:
Sides of the triangular field are 50 m, 65 m and 65 m.
Cost of laying grass in a triangular field = Rs 7 per m2
Let a = 50, b = 65, c = 65
s = (a + b + c)/2
⇒ s = (50 + 65 + 65)/2

∠P = ∠Q (both are right angles)
AB = AB (common arm)
∠BAP = ∠BAQ (As line l is the bisector of angle A)
So, ΔAPB ≅ ΔAQB.
(ii) By the rule of CPCT, BP = BQ. So, we can say point B is equidistant from the arms of

27 Calculate all the angles of a quadrilateral if they are in the ratio 2:5:4:1.
Solution:
As the angles are in the ratio 2:5:4:1, they can be written as-
2x, 5x, 4x, and x
Now, as the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°,
2x + 5x + 4x + x = 360°
Or, x = 30°
Now, all the angles will be,
2x =2 × 30° = 60°
5x = 5 × 30° = 150°
4x = 4 × 30° = 120°, and
x = 30°
28 If E, F, G and H are respectively the mid-points of the sides of a parallelogram ABCD,

Solution:
Given,
E, F, G and H are the mid-points of the sides of a parallelogram ABCD, respectively.
To Prove: ar (EFGH) = ½ ar(ABCD)
Construction: H and F are joined.
Proof:
AD || BC and AD = BC (Opposite sides of a ||gm)
⇒ ½ AD = ½ BC
Also,
AH || BF and and DH || CF
⇒ AH = BF and DH = CF (H and F are midpoints)
Therefore, ABFH and HFCD are parallelograms.
Now,
As we know, ΔEFH and ||gm ABFH, both lie on the same FH the common base and in-
between the same parallel lines AB and HF.
∴ area of EFH = ½ area of ABFH — (i)
And,
area of GHF = ½ area of HFCD — (ii)
area of ΔEFH + area of ΔGHF = ½ area of ABFH + ½ area of HFCD
⇒ ar (EFGH) = ½ ar(ABCD)
OR
In any triangle ABC, if the angle bisector of ∠A and perpendicular bisector of BC
intersect, prove that they intersect on the circumcircle of the triangle ABC.
Solution:
Consider this diagram:
Given: In ∆ABC, AD is the angle bisector of ∠A and OD is the perpendicular bisector of

BC, intersecting each other at point D.
To Prove: D lies on the circle
Construction: Join OB and OC
Proof:
BC is a chord of the circle.
The perpendicular bisector will pass through centre O of the circumcircle.
∴ OE ⊥ BC & E is the midpoint of BC
Chord BC subtends twice the angle at the centre, as compared to any other point.
BC subtends ∠BAC on the circle & BC subtends ∠BOC on the centre
∴ ∠BAC = 1/2 ∠ BOC
In ∆ BOE and ∆COE,
BE = CE (OD bisects BC)
∠BEO = ∠CEO (Both 90°, as OD ⊥ BC)
OE = OE (Common)
∴ ∆BOE ≅ ∆COE (SAS Congruence rule)
∴ ∠BOE = ∠COE (CPCT)
Now,
∠BOC = ∠BOE + ∠COE
∠BOC = ∠BOE + ∠BOE
∠BOC = 2 ∠BOE …(2)
AD is angle bisector of ∠A
∴ ∠BAC = 2∠BAD
From (1)
∠BAC = 1/2 ∠BOC
2 ∠BAD = 1/2 (2∠BOE)
2 ∠BAD = ∠BOE
∠BAD = 1/2 ∠BOE
BD subtends ∠BOE at centre and half of its angle at Point A.
Hence, BD must be a chord.
∴ D lies on the circle.
29 Construct a triangle ABC in which BC = 7cm, ∠B = 75° and AB + AC = 13 cm.
Solution:

3. Take a compass and measure AB + AC = 13 cm.
4. With B as a centre and draw an arc at the point be D
5. Join DC
6. Now draw the perpendicular bisector of the line BD and the intersection point is
taken as A.
7. Now join AC
30 The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12: 17: 25 and its perimeter is 540cm. Find its
area.
Solution:
The ratio of the sides of the triangle is given as 12: 17: 25
12x + 17x + 25x = 540 cm
=> 54x = 540cm
So, x = 10
Now, the sides of the triangle are 120 cm, 170 cm, 250 cm.
= 9000 cm2

Hameed has built a cubical water tank with a lid for his house, with each outer edge
1.5 m long. He gets the outer surface of the tank excluding the base, covered with
square tiles of side 25 cm (see in the figure below). Find how much he would spend on
the tiles if the cost of the tiles is Rs.360 per dozen.
Solution:
Given,
Edge of the cubical tank (a) = 1.5 m = 150 cm
So, surface area of the tank = 5 × 150 × 150 cm2
The measure of side of a square tile = 25 cm
Area of each square tile = side × side = 25 × 25 cm 2
Required number of tiles = (Surface area of the tank)/(area of each tile)
= (5 × 150 × 150)/(25 × 25)
= 180
Also, given that the cost of the tiles is Rs. 360 per dozen.
Thus, the cost of each tile = Rs. 360/12 = Rs. 30
Hence, the total cost of 180 tiles = 180 × Rs. 30 = Rs. 5400
31 The mean weight of a class of 34 students is 46.5 kg. If the weight of the new boy is
included, the mean is rises by 500 g. Find the weight of the new boy.
Solution:
The mean weight of 34 students = 46.5
Sum of the weight of 34 students = (46.5 * 34) = 1581
Change or increase in the mean weight when the weight of a new boy is added = 0.5
So, the new mean = (46.5 +0.5) = 47
So, let the weight of the new boy be y.
So, (sum of weight of 34 students + weight of new boy) / 35 = 47
(1581+ y)/ 35 = 47
1581 + y = 1645
y = 1645 – 1581 = 64

32 In Fig. 9.16, P is a point in the interior of a parallelogram ABCD. Show that
(i) ar(APB) + ar(PCD) = ½ ar(ABCD)
(ii) ar(APD) + ar(PBC) = ar(APB) + ar(PCD)
[Hint : Through P, draw a line parallel to AB.]
Solution:
(i) A line GH is drawn parallel to AB passing through P.

In a parallelogram,
AB || GH (by construction) — (i)
∴,
AD || BC ⇒ AG || BH — (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
ABHG is a parallelogram.
Now,
ΔAPB and parallelogram ABHG are lying on the same base AB and in-between the same
parallel lines AB and GH.
∴ ar(ΔAPB) = ½ ar(ABHG) — (iii)
also,
ΔPCD and parallelogram CDGH are lying on the same base CD and in-between the same
parallel lines CD and GH.
∴ ar(ΔPCD) = ½ ar(CDGH) — (iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv),
ar(ΔAPB) + ar(ΔPCD) = ½ [ar(ABHG)+ar(CDGH)]
⇒ ar(APB)+ ar(PCD) = ½ ar(ABCD)
(ii) A line EF is drawn parallel to AD passing through P.
In the parallelogram,
AD || EF (by construction) — (i)
∴,
AB || CD ⇒ AE || DF — (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
AEDF is a parallelogram.
Now,
ΔAPD and parallelogram AEFD are lying on the same base AD and in-between the same
parallel lines AD and EF.
∴ar(ΔAPD) = ½ ar(AEFD) — (iii)
also,
ΔPBC and parallelogram BCFE are lying on the same base BC and in-between the same
parallel lines BC and EF.
∴ar(ΔPBC) = ½ ar(BCFE) — (iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv),
ar(ΔAPD)+ ar(ΔPBC) = ½ {ar(AEFD)+ar(BCFE)}
⇒ar(APD)+ar(PBC) = ar(APB)+ar(PCD)
33 If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the segments of
one chord are equal to corresponding segments of the other chord.
Solution:
Let AB and CD be two equal cords (i.e. AB = CD). In the above question, it is given that AB
and CD intersect at a point, say, E.
It is now to be proven that the line
segments AE = DE and CE = BE
Construction Steps:
Step 1: From the center of the circle,
draw a perpendicular to AB i.e. OM ⊥ AB
Step 2: Similarly, draw ON ⊥ CD.
Step 3: Join OE.
Now, the diagram is as follows-
Proof:
From the diagram, it is seen that OM bisects AB and so, OM ⊥ AB
Similarly, ON bisects CD and so, ON ⊥ CD
It is known that AB = CD. So,
AM = ND — (i)
and MB = CN — (ii)
Now, triangles ΔOME and ΔONE are similar by RHS congruency since
∠OME = ∠ONE (They are perpendiculars)
OE = OE (It is the common side)
OM = ON (AB and CD are equal and so, they are equidistant from the centre)
∴ ΔOME ≅ ΔONE
ME = EN (by CPCT) — (iii)
Now, from equations (i) and (ii) we get,
AM+ME = ND+EN
So, AE = ED
Now from equations (ii) and (iii) we get,
MB-ME = CN-EN
So, EB = CE (Hence proved).

3. Make an angle ∠MBA = 90° from the point B.
4. Bisect ∠LAB and ∠MBA at the point X.

34 A park, in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD, has C = 90°, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m

and AD = 8 m. How much area does it occupy?
Solution:
First, construct a quadrilateral ABCD and join BD.
We know that
C = 90°, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m
The diagram is:
Now, apply Pythagoras theorem in ΔBCD
BD2 = BC2 +CD2
⇒ BD2 = 122+52
⇒ BD2 = 169
⇒ BD = 13 m
Now, the area of ΔBCD = (½ ×12×5) = 30 m2
The semi perimeter of ΔABD
(s) = (perimeter/2)
= (8+9+13)/2 m
= 30/2 m = 15 m
Area of ΔABD
= 6√35 m2 = 35.5 m2 (approximately)

∴ The area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔBCD+Area of ΔABD
= 30 m2+35.5m2 = 65.5 m2
35 A small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base)
held together with tape. It is 30cm long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm high.
(i)What is the area of the glass?
(ii)How much of tape is needed for all the 12 edges?
Solution:
Length of greenhouse, say l = 30cm
Breadth of greenhouse, say b = 25 cm
Height of greenhouse, say h = 25 cm
(i) Total surface area of greenhouse = Area of the glass = 2[lb+lh+bh]
= [2(30×25+30×25+25×25)]
= [2(750+750+625)]
= (2×2125) = 4250
Total surface area of the glass is 4250 cm2
(ii)
From figure, tape is required along sides AB, BC, CD, DA, EF, FG, GH, HE AH, BE, DG, and
CF.
Total length of tape = 4(l+b+h)
= [4(30+25+25)] (after substituting the values)
= 320
Therefore, 320 cm tape is required for all the 12 edges.

Show how √5 can be represented on the number line.
Solution:
Step 1: Let line AB be of 2 unit on a number line.
Step 2: At B, draw a perpendicular line BC of length 1 unit.
Step 3: Join CA
Step 4: Now, ABC is a right angled triangle. Applying Pythagoras theorem,
AB2+BC2 = CA2
22+12 = CA2 = 5
⇒ CA = √5 . Thus, CA is a line of length √5 unit.
Step 4: Taking CA as a radius and A as a center draw an arc touching
the number line. The point at which number line get intersected by
arc is at √5 distance from 0 because it is a radius of the circle
whose center was A.
Thus, √5 is represented on the number line as shown in the figure.

Answer: b
Explanation: If the angles are in the ratio of 5:3:7,
Therefore, 5x+3x+7x = 180°
15x = 180°
x = 180°/15 = 12°
Thus, 5x = 5(12°) =60°
3x = 3(12°) =36°
7x = 7(12°) =84°
Since all the angles are less than 90°, the triangle is an acute angle triangle.
(a) DF = 5 cm, ∠F = 60°
(b) DF = 5 cm, ∠E = 60°
(c) DE = 5 cm, ∠E = 60°
(d) DE = 5 cm, ∠D = 40
Answer: b
Explanation:
Given that, ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ FDE and AB = 5 cm, ∠B = 40° and ∠A = 80°.
By using the CPCT rule,

DF = 5 cm, since AB = 5 cm.
Again by using the CPCT rule, ∠E = ∠C.
Therefore, ∠E = ∠C = 180° – (∠A+ ∠B) [ By using angle sum property of triangle]
∠E = 180° – (80°+ 40°)
∠E = 180° – 120°
∠E = 60°

24 If a + b + c = 15 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 83, find the value of a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc.
Solution:
We know that,
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca) ….(i)
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca ….(ii)
Given, a + b + c = 15 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 83
From (ii), we have
152 = 83 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 225 – 83 = 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 142/2 = ab + bc + ca
⇒ ab + bc + ca = 71
Now, (i) can be written as
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)[(a2 + b2 + c2 ) – (ab + bc + ca)]
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = 15 × [83 – 71] = 15 × 12 = 180.
OR
If a + b + c = 15 and a + b + c = 83, find the value of a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc.
2 2 2
Solution:
We know that,
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca) ….(i)
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca ….(ii)
Given, a + b + c = 15 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 83
From (ii), we have
152 = 83 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 225 – 83 = 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 142/2 = ab + bc + ca
⇒ ab + bc + ca = 71
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)[(a2 + b2 + c2 ) – (ab + bc + ca)]
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = 15 × [83 – 71] = 15 × 12 = 180.
25 Prove that if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then
the chords are equal.
Solution:
Consider the following diagram-
Here, it is given that ∠AOB = ∠COD i.e. they are equal angles.
Now, we will have to prove that the line segments AB and CD are equal i.e. AB = CD.
Proof:
∠AOB = ∠COD (as given in the question)
OA = OC and OB = OD ((these are the radii of the circle)
So, by SAS congruency, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD.
∴ By the rule of CPCT, AB = CD. (Hence proved).
SECTION C
26 1500 families with 2 children were selected randomly, and the following data were
recorded:
Number of girls in a
family 2 1 0
Number of families 475 814 211

Compute the probability of a family, chosen at random, having
(i) 2 girls (ii) 1 girl (iii) No girl
Also, check whether the sum of these probabilities is 1.
Solution:
Total numbers of families = 1500
(i) Numbers of families having 2 girls = 475
Probability = Numbers of families having 2 girls/Total numbers of families
P = 475/1500
P = 19/60
(ii) Numbers of families having 1 girls = 814
P = 814/1500
P = 407/750
(iii)Numbers of families having no girls = 211
= 211/1500
Sum of the probability = (19/60)+(407/750)+(211/1500)
= (475+814+211)1500 = 1500/1500 = 1
Yes, the sum of these probabilities is 1.
Solution:
Consider the equation x + y + z = 15
From algebraic identities, we know that (a + b + c) 2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
So,
(x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(xy + yz + xz)
From the question, x2 + y2 + z2 = 83 and x + y + z = 15
So,
152 = 83 + 2(xy + yz + xz)
=> 225 – 83 = 2(xy + yz + xz)
Or, xy + yz + xz = 142/2 = 71
Using algebraic identity a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca),
x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x² + y² + z² – (xy + yz + xz))
Now,
x + y + z = 15, x² + y² + z² = 83 and xy + yz + xz = 71
So, x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 15(83 – 71)
=> x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 15 × 12
Or, x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 180
OR
It is given that ∠XYZ = 64° and XY is produced to point P. Draw a figure from the
given information. If ray YQ bisects ∠ZYP, find ∠XYQ and reflex ∠QYP.
Solution:
Here, XP is a straight line
So, ∠XYZ +∠ZYP = 180°
substituting the value of ∠XYZ = 64° we get,
64° +∠ZYP = 180°
∴ ∠ZYP = 116°
From the diagram, we also know that ∠ZYP = ∠ZYQ + ∠QYP
Now, as YQ bisects ∠ZYP,
∠ZYQ = ∠QYP
Or, ∠ZYP = 2∠ZYQ
∴ ∠ZYQ = ∠QYP = 58°
Again, ∠XYQ = ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ
By substituting the value of ∠XYZ = 64° and ∠ZYQ = 58° we get.
∠XYQ = 64° + 58°
Or, ∠XYQ = 122°
Now, reflex ∠QYP = 180° + ∠XYQ
We computed that the value of ∠XYQ = 122°. So,
∠QYP = 180° + 122°
∴ ∠QYP = 302°
28 AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB
such that ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB. Show that
(i) ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP
(ii) AD = BE
Solution:
Given, P is the mid-point of line segment AB.
Also, ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB
(i) Given, ∠EPA = ∠DPB
Now, add ∠DPE on both sides,
∠EPA + ∠DPE = ∠DPB + ∠DPE
This implies that angles DPA and EPB are equal
i.e. ∠DPA = ∠EPB
Now, consider the triangles DAP and EBP.
∠DPA = ∠EPB
AP = BP (Since P is the mid-point of the line segment AB)
∠BAD = ∠ABE (given)
So, by ASA congruency criterion,
ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP.
(ii) By the rule of CPCT,
AD = BE
Solution:
ar(BED) = ½ × BD × DE
Since, E is the mid-point of AD,
AE = DE
Since, AD is the median on side BC of triangle ABC,
BD = DC
DE = ½ AD — (i)
BD = ½ BC — (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get,
ar(BED) = (1/2) × (½) BC × (1/2)AD
⇒ ar(BED) = (½) × (½) ar(ABC)
⇒ ar(BED) = ¼ ar(ABC)
OR
Prove that the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter passes through the
point of intersection of its diagonals.
Solution:
To prove: A circle drawn with Q as centre, will pass through A, B and O (i.e. QA = QB =
QO)
Since all sides of a rhombus are equal,
AB = DC
Now, multiply (½) on both sides
(½)AB = (½)DC
So, AQ = DP
⇒ BQ = DP
Since Q is the midpoint of AB,
AQ= BQ
Similarly,
RA = SB
Again, as PQ is drawn parallel to AD,
RA = QO
Now, as AQ = BQ and RA = QO we have,
QA = QB = QO (hence proved).
30 Construct a triangle XYZ in which ∠Y = 30°, ∠Z = 90° and XY + YZ + ZX = 11 cm.
Solution:
1. Draw a line segment AB which is equal to XY + YZ + ZX = 11 cm.

2. Make an angle ∠Y = 30° from point A and the angle be ∠LAB
3. Make an angle ∠Z = 90° from point B and the angle be ∠MAB
4. Bisect ∠LAB and ∠MAB at point X.
5. Now take the perpendicular bisector of the line XA and XB and the intersection
point be Y and Z respectively.
6. Join XY and XZ
7. Therefore, XYZ is the required triangle
31 A field is in the shape of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 25 m and 10 m. The
non-parallel sides are 14 m and 13 m. Find the area of the field.
Solution:
First, draw a line segment BE parallel to the line AD. Then, from B, draw a
perpendicular on the line segment CD.
Now, it can be seen that the quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram. So,
AB = ED = 10 m
AD = BE = 13 m
EC = 25 – ED = 25 – 10 = 15 m
Now, consider the triangle BEC,
Its semi perimeter (s) = (13+ 14 + 15)/2 = 21 m
By using Heron’s formula,
Area of ΔBEC =
= 84 m2
We also know that the area of ΔBEC = (½) × CE × BF
84 cm2 = (½) × 15 × BF
=> BF = (168/15) cm = 11.2 cm
So, the total area of ABED will be BF × DE, i.e. 11.2 × 10 = 112 m 2
∴ Area of the field = 84 + 112 = 196 m2
SECTION D

32 Give possible expressions for the length and breadth of each of the following
rectangles, in which their areas are given:
(i) Area: 25a2–35a+12
(ii) Area: 35y2+13y–12
Solution:
(i) Area: 25a2–35a+12
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = -35 and product =25×12 = 300
We get -15 and -20 as the numbers [-15+-20=-35 and -15×-20 = 300]
25a2–35a+12 = 25a2–15a−20a+12
= 5a(5a–3)–4(5a–3)
= (5a–4)(5a–3)
Possible expression for length = 5a–4
Possible expression for breadth = 5a –3
(ii) Area: 35y2+13y–12
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = 13 and product = 35×-12 = 420
We get -15 and 28 as the numbers [-15+28 = 13 and -15×28=420]
35y2+13y–12 = 35y2–15y+28y–12
= 5y(7y–3)+4(7y–3)
= (5y+4)(7y–3)
Possible expression for length = (5y+4)
Possible expression for breadth = (7y–3)
33 In Fig. 6.40, ∠X = 62°, ∠XYZ = 54°. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY,
Solution:
We know that the sum of the interior angles of the triangle.
So, ∠X +∠XYZ +∠XZY = 180°
Putting the values as given in the question, we get
62°+54° +∠XZY = 180°
Or, ∠XZY = 64°
Now, we know that ZO is the bisector, so
∠OZY = ½ ∠XZY
∴ ∠OZY = 32°
Similarly, YO is a bisector, so
∠OYZ = ½ ∠XYZ
Or, ∠OYZ = 27° (As ∠XYZ = 54°)
∠OZY +∠OYZ +∠O = 180°
Putting their respective values, we get
∠O = 180°-32°-27°
Hence, ∠O = 121°
OR

(ii) 2x2+y2+8z2–2√2xy+4√2yz–8xz
Solution:
(i) 4x2+9y2+16z2+12xy–24yz–16xz
Using identity, (x+y+z)2 = x2+y2+z2+2xy+2yz+2zx
4x2+9y2+16z2+12xy–24yz–16xz = (2x)2+(3y)2+(−4z)2+(2×2x×3y)+(2×3y×−4z)+(2×−4z×2x)
= (2x+3y–4z)2
= (2x+3y–4z)(2x+3y–4z)
(ii) 2x2+y2+8z2–2√2xy+4√2yz–8xz
Using identity, (x +y+z)2 = x2+y2+z2+2xy+2yz+2zx
2x2+y2+8z2–2√2xy+4√2yz–8xz
= (-√2x)2+(y)2+(2√2z)2+(2×-√2x×y)+(2×y×2√2z)+(2×2√2×−√2x)
= (−√2x+y+2√2z)2

Draw the graph of the linear equation above using Celsius for the x-axis and
Solution:
(i) According to the question,
F = (9/5)C + 32
We get,
When C = 0, F = 32
When C = -10 , F = 14
The points to be plotted are (0, 32), (-10, 14)
(ii) When C = 30,
F = (9/5)C +32
F = (9×30)/5+32
= (9×6)+32
= 54+32
= 86oF
(iii) When F = 95,
95 = (9/5)C +32
(9/5)C = 95-32
(9/5)C =63
C = (63×5)/9
=35oC
(iv) When C = 0,
F = (9/5)C +32
F = (9×0)/5 +32
=0+32
=32oF
When F = 0,
0 = (9/5)C+32
(9/5)C = 0-32
(9/5)C = -32
C = (-32×5)/9
=-17.7777
=-17.8oC
(v) When F = C,
C = (9/5)C+32
C – (9/5)C = 32
(5-9)C/5 =32
(-4/5)C = 32
(-4/5)C = (-32×5)/4
= – 40oC
Hence, -40o is the temperature which is numerically the same in both Fahrenheit and
Celsius.
35 In Fig. 6.43, if PQ ⊥ PS, PQ || SR, ∠SQR = 28° and ∠QRT = 65°, then find the values of
x and y.
Solution:
x +∠SQR = ∠QRT (As they are alternate angles since QR is transversal)
So, x+28° = 65°
∴ x = 37°
It is also known that alternate interior angles are the same, and so
∠QSR = x = 37°
Also, now
∠QRS +∠QRT = 180° (As they are a Linear pair)
Or, ∠QRS+65° = 180°
So, ∠QRS = 115°
Using the angle sum property in Δ SPQ,
∠SPQ + x + y = 180°
90°+37° + y = 180°
y = 1800 – 1270 = 530
Hence, y = 53°

7 Answer: b
8 Answer: c
Explanation: We know that the diagonals of the rhombus bisect each other perpendicularly.
By using the alternate interior angles, and
angle sum property of triangle, we can say:
From the triangle, BOC,
∠BOC + ∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180º
(where ∠BOC= 90º, ∠OCB = 40º)
90º+40º+ ∠OBC = 180º
∠OBC = 180º – 130º
∠OBC = 50º
∠OBC =∠DBC
Now, by using alternate angles, we can say
∠ADB = 50º

11 Answer: a
Explanation: Given,
Perimeter = 30 cm
Semiperimeter, s = 30/2 = 15 cm
a = b = 12 cm
c=?
a + b + c = 30
12 + 12 + c = 30
c = 30 – 24 = 6 cm
Using Heron’s formula:
= √[15(15 – 12)(15 – 12)(15 – 6)]

= √(15 × 3 × 3 × 9)
= 9√15 sq.cm
12 Answer: d
Explanation: Total surface area = πr(l + r)
r = 24/2 = 12 cm
l = 21 cm
TSA = π(12)(21 + 12) = 1244.57 sq.cm

21 Solution:
Let the given rectangle be rectangle PQRS,

PQ = 40m and QR = 15m
As 3m is left in both front and back,
AB = PQ -3 -3
⇒ AB = 40 -6
⇒ AB = 34m
Also,
Given that 2m has to be left at both the sides,
BC = QR -2 – 2
⇒ BC = 15 -4
⇒ BC = 11m
Now, Area left for house construction is the area of ABCD.
Hence,
Area(ABCD) = AB × CD
= 34 × 11
= 374 m2
22 Solution:
Given,
Length of the cylindrical pipe = h = 28 m
Diameter of the pipe = 5 cm
Now, the radius of piper (r) = 5/ 2 cm = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m
Total radiating surface in the system = Total surface area of the cylinder
= 2πr(h + r)
= 2 × (22/7) × 0.025 (28 + 0.025) m2
= (44 x 0.025 x 28.025)/7 m2
= 4.4 m2 (approx)
OR
Solution:
13 = (y + y + 1+ y + 4+ y + 6+ y + 8+ y + 5) / 6
13 = (6y + 24)/6
(13 * 6) = 6y +24
(13 * 6) – 24 = 6y
(13 * 6) – 6 * 4 = 6y
6(13 – 4) = 6y
y=9
23 Solution:
Here, there are only red and blue balls.
P(picking a red ball) + P(picking a blue ball) = 1
x/2 + ⅔ = 1
=> 3x + 4 = 6
=> 3x = 2
Or, x = ⅔
24 Solution:
1/(7 + 3√3)
By rationalizing the denominator,
= [1/(7 + 3√3)] [(7 – 3√3)/(7 – 3√3)]
= (7 – 3√3)/[(7) 2 – (3√3)2]
= (7 – 3√3)/(49 – 27)
= (7 – 3√3)/22
OR
Solution:
Given, (x – 1/x) = 4
Squaring both sides we get,
(x – 1/x)2 = 16
⇒ x2 – 2.x.1/x + 1/x2 = 16
⇒ x2 – 2 + 1/x2 = 16
⇒ x2 + 1/x2 = 16 + 2 = 18
∴ (x2 + 1/x2) = 18 ….(i)
Again, squaring both sides of (i), we get
(x2 + 1/x2)2 = 324
⇒ x4 + 2.x2.1/x2 + 1/x4 = 324
⇒ x4 + 2 + 1/x4 = 324
⇒ x4 + 1/x4 = 324 – 2 = 322
∴ (x4 + 1/x4) = 322.
25 Solution:
2x + 3y = k
According to the question, x = 2 and y = 1.
Now, Substituting the values of x and y in the equation 2x + 3y = k,
We get,
⇒(2 x 2)+ (3 × 1) = k
⇒4+3 = k
⇒7 = k
⇒k = 7
The value of k, if x = 2, y = 1 is a solution of the equation 2x + 3y = k, is 7.
26 Solution:
Given,
Dimensions of the brick = 22.5 cm × 10 cm × 7.5 cm
Here, l = 22.5 cm, b = 10 cm, h = 7.5 cm
Surface area of 1 brick = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(22.5 × 10 + 10 × 7.5 + 7.5 × 22.5) cm 2
= 2(225 + 75 + 168.75) cm 2
= 2 x 468.75 cm 2
= 937.5 cm 2
Area that can be painted by the container = 9.375 m 2 (given)
= 9.375 × 10000 cm 2
= 93750 cm 2
Thus, the required number of bricks = (Area that can be painted by the container)/(Surface
area of 1 brick)
= 93750/937.5
= 937500/9375
= 100
27 Solution: Let Ei denote the event of getting the outcome i, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Then
Probability of the outcome 1 = P(E1)
= Frequency of 1/Total number of times the die is thrown
= 179/1000
= 0.179
Similarly,
P(E2 ) = 150/1000 = 0.15
P(E3) = 157/1000 = 0.157
P(E4) = 149/1000 = 0.149
P(E5) = 175/1000 = 0.175
and P(E6) = 190/1000 = 0.19
You can check: P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) + P(E4) + P(E5) + P(E6) = 1
28 Solution:
We know that,
a3 + b3 + c 3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca) ….(i)
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c 2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca ….(ii)
Given, a + b + c = 15 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 83
From (ii), we have
152 = 83 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 225 – 83 = 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 142/2 = ab + bc + ca
⇒ ab + bc + ca = 71
a3 + b3 + c 3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)[(a2 + b2 + c 2 ) – (ab + bc + ca)]
a3 + b3 + c 3 – 3abc = 15 × [83 – 71] = 15 × 12 = 180.
OR
Solution:
We have the equation,
y = 9x – 7
For A (1, 2),
Substituting (x,y) = (1, 2),
We get,
2 = 9(1) – 7
2=9–7
2=2
For B (–1, –16),
Substituting (x,y) = (–1, –16),
We get,
–16 = 9(–1) – 7
-16 = – 9 – 7
-16 = – 16
For C (0, –7),
Substituting (x,y) = (0, –7),
We get,
– 7 = 9(0) – 7
-7 = 0 – 7
-7 = – 7
Hence, the points A (1, 2), B (–1, –16) and C (0, –7) satisfy the line y = 9x – 7.
Thus, A (1, 2), B (–1, –16) and C (0, –7) are solutions of the linear equation y = 9x – 7
Therefore, the points A (1, 2), B (–1, –16), C (0, –7) lie on the graph of linear equation y =
9x – 7.
29 Solution:
Since AB || CD GE is a transversal.
It is given that ∠GED = 126°
So, ∠GED = ∠AGE = 126° (alternate interior angles)
Also,
∠GED = ∠GEF + ∠FED
As
EF ⊥ CD, ∠FED = 90°
∴ ∠GED = ∠GEF + 90°
Or, ∠GEF = 126° – 90° = 36°
Again, ∠FGE + ∠GED = 180° (Transversal)
Substituting the value of ∠GED = 126° we get,
∠FGE = 54°
So,
∠AGE = 126°
∠GEF = 36° and
∠FGE = 54°
30 Solution:
It is given that M is the mid-point of the line segment AB, ∠C = 90°, and DM = CM
(i) Consider the triangles ΔAMC and ΔBMD:
AM = BM (Since M is the mid-point)
CM = DM (Given)
∠CMA = ∠DMB (Vertically opposite angles)
So, by SAS congruency criterion, ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD.
(ii) ∠ACM = ∠BDM (by CPCT)
∴ AC ∥ BD as alternate interior angles are equal.
Now, ∠ACB + ∠DBC = 180° (Since they are co-interiors angles)
⇒ 90° + ∠B = 180°
∴ ∠DBC = 90°
(iii) In ΔDBC and ΔACB,
BC = CB (Common side)
∠ACB = ∠DBC (Both are right angles)
DB = AC (by CPCT)
So, ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB by SAS congruency.
(iv) DC = AB (Since ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB)
⇒ DM = CM = AM = BM (Since M the is mid-point)
So, DM + CM = BM + AM
Hence, CM + CM = AB
⇒ CM = (½) AB
OR
Solution:
LMNO is a parallelogram in which bisectors of the angles L, M, N, and O intersect at P, Q,
R and S to form the quadrilateral PQRS.
LM || NO (opposite sides of parallelogram LMNO)
L + M = 180 (sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o)
MLS + LMS = 90
In LMS, MLS + LMS + LSM = 180
90 + LSM = 180
LSM = 90
RSP = 90 (vertically opposite angles)
SRQ = 90, RQP = 90 and SPQ = 90
Therefore, PQRS is a rectangle.
31 Solution:
(i)In ΔABC,
EF || BC and EF = ½ BC (by midpoint theorem)
also,
BD = ½ BC (D is the midpoint)
So, BD = EF
also,
BF and DE are parallel and equal to each other.
Therefore, the pair opposite sides are equal in length and parallel to each other.
∴ BDEF is a parallelogram.
(ii) Proceeding from the result of (i),
BDEF, DCEF, AFDE are parallelograms.
Diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
∴ ar(ΔBFD) = ar(ΔDEF) (For ||gm BDEF) — (i)
also,
ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔDEF) (For ||gm DCEF) — (ii)
ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF) (For ||gm AFDE) — (iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii)
ar(ΔBFD) = ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF)
⇒ ar(ΔBFD) + ar(ΔAFE) + ar(ΔCDE) + ar(ΔDEF) = ar(ΔABC)
⇒ 4 ar(ΔDEF) = ar(ΔABC)
⇒ ar(DEF) = ¼ ar(ABC)
(iii)Area (||gm BDEF) = ar(ΔDEF) + ar(ΔBDE)
⇒ ar(BDEF) = ar(ΔDEF) + ar(ΔDEF)
⇒ ar(BDEF) = 2× ar(ΔDEF)
⇒ ar(BDEF) = 2× ¼ ar(ΔABC)
⇒ ar(BDEF) = (1/2)ar(ΔABC)
32 Solution:
It is given that M is the mid-point of the line segment AB, ∠C = 90°, and DM = CM
(i) Consider the triangles ΔAMC and ΔBMD:
AM = BM (Since M is the mid-point)
CM = DM (Given in the question)
∠CMA = ∠DMB (They are vertically opposite angles)
So, by SAS congruency criterion, ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD.
(ii) ∠ACM = ∠BDM (by CPCT)
∴ AC || BD as alternate interior angles are equal.
Now, ∠ACB +∠DBC = 180° (Since they are co-interiors angles)
⇒ 90° +∠B = 180°
∴ ∠DBC = 90°
(iii) In ΔDBC and ΔACB,
BC = CB (Common side)
∠ACB = ∠DBC (They are right angles)
DB = AC (by CPCT)
So, ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB by SAS congruency.
(iv) DC = AB (Since ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB)
⇒ DM = CM = AM = BM (Since M the is mid-point)
So, DM + CM = BM+AM
Hence, CM + CM = AB
⇒ CM = (½) AB
33 Solution:
(i) In ΔADC and ΔCBA,
AD = CB (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
DC = BA (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
AC = CA (Common Side)
, ΔADC ≅ ΔCBA [SSS congruency]
Thus,
∠ACD = ∠CAB by CPCT
and ∠CAB = ∠CAD (Given)
⇒ ∠ACD = ∠BCA
Thus,
AC bisects ∠C also.
(ii) ∠ACD = ∠CAD (Proved above)
⇒ AD = CD (Opposite sides of equal angles of a triangle are equal)
Also, AB = BC = CD = DA (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Thus,
ABCD is a rhombus.
OR
Solution:
Given,
XY || BC, BE || AC and CF || AB
To show,
ar(ΔABE) = ar(ΔACF)
Proof:
BCYE is a || gm as ΔABE and ||gm BCYE are on the same base BE and between the same
parallel lines BE and AC.
∴,ar(ABE) = ½ ar(BCYE) … (1)
Now,
CF || AB and XY || BC
⇒ CF || AB and XF || BC
⇒ BCFX is a || gm
As ΔACF and || gm BCFX are on the same base CF and in-between the same parallel AB
and FC .
∴,ar (ΔACF)= ½ ar (BCFX) … (2)
But,
||gm BCFX and || gm BCYE are on the same base BC and between the same parallels BC
and EF.
∴,ar (BCFX) = ar(BCYE) … (3)
From (1) , (2) and (3) , we get
ar (ΔABE) = ar(ΔACF)
⇒ ar(BEYC) = ar(BXFC)
As the parallelograms are on the same base BC and in-between the same parallels EF and
BC–(iii)
Also,
△AEB and ||gm BEYC are on the same base BE and in-between the same parallels BE and
AC.
⇒ ar(△AEB) = ½ ar(BEYC) — (iv)
Similarly,
△ACF and || gm BXFC on the same base CF and between the same parallels CF and AB.
⇒ ar(△ ACF) = ½ ar(BXFC) — (v)
From (iii), (iv) and (v),
ar(△ABE) = ar(△ACF)
34 Solution:
Let AB and CD be two equal cords (i.e. AB = CD). In the above question, it is given that AB
and CD intersect at a point, say, E.
It is now to be proven that the line segments AE = DE and CE = BE
Construction Steps:
Step 1: From the center of the circle, draw a perpendicular to AB i.e. OM ⊥ AB
Step 2: Similarly, draw ON ⊥ CD.
Step 3: Join OE.
Now, the diagram is as follows-
Proof:
From the diagram, it is seen that OM bisects AB and so, OM ⊥ AB
Similarly, ON bisects CD and so, ON ⊥ CD
It is known that AB = CD. So,
AM = ND — (i)
and MB = CN — (ii)
Now, triangles ΔOME and ΔONE are similar by RHS congruency since
∠OME = ∠ONE (They are perpendiculars)
OE = OE (It is the common side)
OM = ON (AB and CD are equal and so, they are equidistant from the centre)
∴ ΔOME ≅ ΔONE
ME = EN (by CPCT) — (iii)
Now, from equations (i) and (ii) we get,
AM+ME = ND+EN
So, AE = ED
Now from equations (ii) and (iii) we get,
MB-ME = CN-EN
So, EB = CE (Hence proved).
OR
1. Let us draw a line segment AB = 4 cm .
2. With A and B as centres, draw two arcs on the line segment AB and note the point as D
and E.
3. With D and E as centres, draw the arcs that cuts the previous arc respectively that
forms an angle of 60° each.
4. Now, draw the lines from A and B that are extended to meet each other at the point C.
Justification:
From construction, it is observed that
AB = 4 cm, ∠A = 60° and ∠B = 60°
We know that, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°
∠A+∠B+∠C = 180°
Substitute the values
⇒ 60°+60°+∠C = 180°
⇒ 120°+∠C = 180°
⇒∠C = 60°
While measuring the sides, we get
BC = CA = 4 cm (Sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
AB = BC = CA = 4 cm
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
Hence, justified.
35 Solution:
First, construct a diagram with the given parameter.
Now, apply Pythagorean theorem in ΔABC,

AC2 = AB 2+BC2
⇒ 52 = 32+42
⇒ 25 = 25
Thus, it can be concluded that ΔABC is a right angled at B.
So, area of ΔBCD = (½ ×3×4) = 6 cm 2
The semi perimeter of ΔACD (s) = (perimeter/2) = (5+5+4)/2 cm = 14/2 cm = 7 m
Now, using Heron’s formula,
Area of ΔACD
= 2√21 cm2 = 9.17 cm2 (approximately)

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔACD = 6 cm 2 +9.17 cm2 = 15.17 cm2

21 Solution:
First, construct a line XY parallel to PQ.
As we know, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equal to 180°.
So, ∠PQR + ∠QRX = 180°
Or,∠QRX = 180° – 110°
∴ ∠QRX = 70°
Similarly,
∠RST + ∠SRY = 180°
Or, ∠SRY = 180° – 130°
∴ ∠SRY = 50°
Now, for the linear pairs on the line XY-
∠QRX + ∠QRS + ∠SRY = 180°
∠QRS = 180° – 70° – 50°
Or, ∠QRS = 60°
22 Solution:
Construction-Consider a trapezium ABCD with AB||CD and BC = AD.
Draw AM ⊥CD and BN ⊥ CD
In ∆AMD and ∆BNC;

AD = BC (Given)
∠AMD = ∠BNC (90°)
AM =BN (perpendiculars between parallel lines)
∆AMD = ∆BNC (By RHS congruency)
∆ADC = ∆BCD (By CPCT rule) …….(i)
∠BAD and ∠ADC are on the same side of transversal AD.
∠BAD + ∠ADC = 180° ……(ii)
∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180° (by equation (i))
Since, the opposite angles are supplementary, therefore, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
OR
Solution:
Let a = 50, b = 65, c = 65
s = (a + b + c)/2
⇒ s = (50 + 65 + 65)/2
= 180/2
= 90.
= √(90(90-50)(90-65)(90-65))
= √(90×40×25×25)
= 1500m2
= 1500×7
= Rs.10500
23 Solution:
Given,
Diameter of the cone = 24 m
Radius of the cone (r) = 24/2 = 12 m
Slant height of the cone (l) = 21 m
Total surface area of a cone = πr(l + r)
= (22/7) × 12 × (21 + 12)
= (22/7) × 12 × 33
= 1244.57 m 2
OR
Solution:
The mean weight of 34 students = 46.5
Sum of the weight of 34 students = (46.5 * 34) = 1581
Change or increase in the mean weight when the weight of a new boy is added = 0.5
So, the new mean = (46.5 +0.5) = 47
So, let the weight of the new boy be y.
So, (sum of weight of 34 students + weight of new boy) / 35 = 47
(1581+ y)/ 35 = 47
1581 + y = 1645
y = 1645 – 1581 = 64
24 Solution:
Given,
Total number of outcomes = Sample space = 360
Now, assume that the number of times ‘No Tail’ appeared to be “x”
So, the number of times ‘2 Tails’ appeared = 3x (from the question)
Also, the number of times ‘1 Tail’ appeared =2x (from the question)
As the total outcomes = 360,
x + 2x + 3x = 360
=> 6x = 360
Or, x = 60
∴ P(getting two tails) = (3 × 60)/360 = ½
25 Solution: Let Ei denote the event of getting the outcome i, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Then
Probability of the outcome 1 = P(E1)
= Frequency of 1/Total number of times the die is thrown
= 179/1000
= 0.179
Similarly,
P(E2 ) = 150/1000 = 0.15
P(E3) = 157/1000 = 0.157
P(E4) = 149/1000 = 0.149
P(E5) = 175/1000 = 0.175
and P(E6) = 190/1000 = 0.19
You can check: P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) + P(E4) + P(E5) + P(E6) = 1
26 Solution:
Here, OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD. is drawn and OB and OD are joined.
As we know, AB bisects BM as the perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord.
Since AB = 5 so,
BM = AB/2
Similarly, ND = CD/2 = 11/2
Now, let ON be x.
So, OM = 6− x.
Consider ΔMOB,
OB2 = OM2 + MB2
Or,
OB2 = 36 + x2 – 12x + 25/4 ……(1)
Consider ΔNOD,
OD2 = ON2 + ND2
Or,
OD2 = x2+121/4 ……….(2)
We know, OB = OD (radii)
From eq. (1) and eq. (2) we have;
36 + x2 -12x + 25/4 = x2 + 121/4
12x = 36 + 25/4 – 121/4
12x = (144 + 25 -121)/4
12x = 48/4 = 12
x=1
Now, from eq. (2) we have,
OD2 = 11 + (121/4)
Or OD = (5/2) × √5
27 Solution:

3. Take a compass and measure AB – AC = 3.5 cm.
4. With B as centre and draw an arc at the point be D on the ray BX
5. Join DC
6. Now draw the perpendicular bisector of the line CD and the intersection point is
taken as A.
7. Now join AC
28 Solution:
Let a = 50, b = 65, c = 65
s = (a + b + c)/2
⇒ s = (50 + 65 + 65)/2
= 180/2
= 90.
= √(90(90-50)(90-65)(90-65))
= √(90×40×25×25)
= 1500m2
= 1500×7
= Rs.10500
OR
Solution:
Given,
Length of the room (l) = 5 m
Breadth of the room (b) = 4 m
Height of the room (h) = 3 m
Area of walls of the room = Lateral surface area of cuboid
= 2h(l + b)
= 2 × 3(5 + 4)
=6×9
= 54 sq.m
Area of ceiling = Area of base of the cuboid
= lb
=5×4
= 20 sq.m
Area to be white washed = (54 + 20) sq.m = 74 sq.m
Given that, the cost of white washing 1 sq.m = Rs. 7.50
Therefore, the total cost of white washing the walls and ceiling of the room = 74 × Rs.
7.50 = Rs. 555
29 Solution:
Given, (x – 1/x) = 4
Squaring both sides we get,
(x – 1/x)2 = 16
⇒ x2 – 2.x.1/x + 1/x2 = 16
⇒ x2 – 2 + 1/x2 = 16
⇒ x2 + 1/x2 = 16 + 2 = 18
∴ (x2 + 1/x2) = 18 ….(i)
Again, squaring both sides of (i), we get
(x2 + 1/x2)2 = 324
⇒ x4 + 2.x2.1/x2 + 1/x4 = 324
⇒ x4 + 2 + 1/x4 = 324
⇒ x4 + 1/x4 = 324 – 2 = 322
∴ (x4 + 1/x4) = 322.
OR
Solution: Given equation,
3x + 4y = 6.
We need at least 2 points on the graph to draw the graph of this equation,
Thus, the points the graph cuts
(i) x-axis
Since the point is on the x-axis, we have y = 0.
Substituting y = 0 in the equation, 3x + 4y = 6,
We get,
3x + 4×0 = 6
⇒ 3x = 6
⇒x=2
Hence, the point at which the graph cuts x-axis = (2, 0).
(ii) y-axis
Since the point is on the y-axis, we have, x = 0.
Substituting x = 0 in the equation, 3x + 4y = 6,
We get,
3×0 + 4y = 6
⇒ 4y = 6
⇒ y = 6/4
⇒ y = 3/2
⇒ y = 1.5
Hence, the point at which the graph cuts y-axis = (0, 1.5).
Plotting the points (0, 1.5) and (2, 0) on the graph.
30 Solution:
First, construct a line XY parallel to PQ.
As we know, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equal to 180°.
So, ∠PQR + ∠QRX = 180°
Or,∠QRX = 180° – 110°
∴ ∠QRX = 70°
Similarly,
∠RST + ∠SRY = 180°
Or, ∠SRY = 180° – 130°
∴ ∠SRY = 50°
Now, for the linear pairs on the line XY-
∠QRX + ∠QRS + ∠SRY = 180°
∠QRS = 180° – 70° – 50°
Or, ∠QRS = 60°
31 Solution:
Given:
(i) BE and CF are altitudes.
(ii) AC = AB
To prove:
BE = CF
Proof:
Triangles ΔAEB and ΔAFC are similar by AAS congruency, since;
∠A = ∠A (common arm)
∠AEB = ∠AFC (both are right angles)
AB = AC (Given)
∴ ΔAEB ≅ ΔAFC
and BE = CF (by CPCT).
32 Solution:
Diameter of the wooden sphere = 21 cm
Radius of the wooden sphere, r = diameter/ 2 = (21/2) cm = 10.5 cm
Formula: Surface area of the wooden sphere = 4πr2
= 4×(22/7)×(10.5)2 = 1386
So, the surface area is 1386 cm3
Radius of the circular end of cylindrical support = 1.5 cm
Height of the cylindrical support = 7 cm
Curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2×(22/7)×1.5×7 = 66
So, CSA is 66 cm2
Now,
Area of the circular end of cylindrical support = πr 2
= (22/7)×1.52
= 7.07
Area of the circular end is 7.07 cm2
Again,
Area to be painted silver = [8 ×(1386-7.07)] = 8×1378.93 = 11031.44
Area to be painted is 11031.44 cm2
Cost for painting with silver colour = Rs(11031.44×0.25) =Rs 2757.86
Area to be painted black = (8×66) cm2 = 528 cm2
Cost for painting with black colour =Rs (528×0.05) = Rs26.40
Therefore, the total painting cost is
= Rs(2757.86 +26.40)
= Rs 2784.26
33 Solution:
The width of the class intervals in the given data varies.
We know that,
The area of the rectangle is proportional to the frequencies in the histogram.
Thus, the proportion of children per year can be calculated as given in the table below.
Age Number of children (frequency) Width of class Length of rectangle

(in years)
1-2 5 1 (5/1)×1 = 5
2-3 3 1 (3/1)×1 = 3
3-5 6 2 (6/2)×1 = 3
5-7 12 2 (12/2)×1 = 6
7-10 9 3 (9/3)×1 = 3
10-15 10 5 (10/5)×1 = 2
15-17 4 2 (4/2)×1 = 2
Let x-axis = the age of children
y-axis = proportion of children per 1-year interval
OR
Solution:
Total numbers of families = 1500
(i) Numbers of families having 2 girls = 475
= 475/1500 = 19/60
(ii) Numbers of families having 1 girl = 814
Probability = Numbers of families having 1 girl/Total numbers of families
= 814/1500 = 407/750
(iii) Numbers of families having 0 girls = 211
= 211/1500
Sum of the probability = (19/60)+(407/750)+(211/1500)
= (475+814+211)/1500
= 1500/1500 = 1
Yes, the sum of these probabilities is 1.
34 Solution:
We know that the sum of the interior angles of the triangle.
So, ∠X +∠XYZ +∠XZY = 180°
Putting the values as given in the question, we get
62°+54° +∠XZY = 180°
Or, ∠XZY = 64°
Now, we know that ZO is the bisector, so
∠OZY = ½ ∠XZY
∴ ∠OZY = 32°
Similarly, YO is a bisector, so
∠OYZ = ½ ∠XYZ
Or, ∠OYZ = 27° (As ∠XYZ = 54°)
∠OZY +∠OYZ +∠O = 180°
∠O = 180°-32°-27°
Hence, ∠O = 121°
OR
Solution:
It is given that AB = AC and AD = AB
We will have to now prove ∠BCD is a right angle.
Proof:
Consider ΔABC,
AB = AC (It is given in the question)
Also, ∠ACB = ∠ABC (They are angles opposite to the equal sides and so, they are equal)
Now, consider ΔACD,
AD = AB
Also, ∠ADC = ∠ACD (They are angles opposite to the equal sides and so, they are equal)
Now,
In ΔABC,
∠CAB + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180°
So, ∠CAB + 2∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB = 180° – 2∠ACB — (i)
Similarly, in ΔADC,
∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACD — (ii)
also,
∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° (BD is a straight line.)
Adding (i) and (ii) we get,
∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACB+180° – 2∠ACD
⇒ 180° = 360° – 2∠ACB-2∠ACD
⇒ 2(∠ACB+∠ACD) = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 90°
35 Solution:
(i) In ΔAPD and ΔCQB,
DP = BQ (Given)
∠ADP = ∠CBQ (Alternate interior angles)
AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Thus, ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB [SAS congruency]
(ii) AP = CQ by CPCT as ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB.
(iii) In ΔAQB and ΔCPD,
BQ = DP (Given)
∠ABQ = ∠CDP (Alternate interior angles)
AB = CD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Thus, ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD [SAS congruency]
(iv) As ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD
AQ = CP [CPCT]
(v) From the questions (ii) and (iv), it is clear that APCQ has equal opposite sides and
also has equal and opposite angles. , APCQ is a parallelogram.

27 To make a saturated solution, 36 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100g of water at 3
293K. Find its concentration at this temperature.
Ans: In the problem, it is given that to make a saturated solution, 36 g of sodium

chloride is dissolved in 100g of water at 293K.
Mass of sodium chloride (solute) is 36 g

Mass of water (solvent) is 100g

What is evaporation? Why does evaporation cause cooling?
Answer:
The process in which a liquid changes into its vapour state at a temperature below the
boiling point is called evaporation. Evaporation is an endothermic process i.e., the
liquid absorbs heat during evaporation. This heat may be provided either by the
surrounding or by the liquid itself. When the evaporating liquid takes the required
heat from other parts of the liquid, the rest of the liquid cools down.
On the other hand, if the liquid takes heat from the surroundings, it causes cooling of
the surroundings. For example, on a hot day (sunny day) we perspire. When this sweat
evaporates, it absorbs the required heat from our body, and we feel cool.

Calcium chloride when dissolved in water dissociates into its ions according to the
following equation.
CaCl2(aq) → Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl–(aq)
Calculate the number of ions obtained from CaCl2 when 222 g of it is dissolved in
water.
Answer:
1 mole of calcium chloride = 111 g
222 g of CaCl2 is equivalent to 2 moles of CaCl2 Since 1 formula unit of CaCl2 gives 3
ions, therefore, 1 mol of CaCl2 will give 3 moles of ions.
2 moles of CaCl2 would give 3 × 2 = 6 moles of ions.
No. of ions = No. of moles of ions × Avogadro number
= 6 × 6.022 × 1023
= 36.132 × 1023
= 3.6 132 × 1024 ions.

On heating, potassium chlorate decomposes to potassium chloride and oxygen. In one

experiment 30.0 g of potassium chlorate generates 14.9 g of potassium chloride and
9.6 g of oxygen. What mass of potassium chlorate remains undecomposed?
Answer:
Potassium chlorate → Potassium chloride + Oxygen
Total mass of potassium chlorate before reaction = 30.0 g
After reaction, mass of potassium chloride = 14.9 g Mass of oxygen = 9.6 g
Let mass of undecomposed potassium chlorate = x g
Total mass after reaction = (x + 14.9 + 9.6) g
According to law of conservation of mass the total mass before and after the reaction
remains constant.
∴ 30.0 = x + 14.9 + 9.6
x = 30 – 14.9 – 9.6 = 5.5
∴ Mass of undecomposed potassium chlorate
= 5.5 g
36 Explain why? 5
(a) A cricket player lowers his hands while catching the ball.
(b) The vehicles are fitted with shockers.
(c) A karate player breaks the pile of tiles or bricks with a single blow.
(d) In a high jump athletic event, the athletes are allowed to fall either on a sand bed
or cushioned bed.
(e) In a moving car, the drivers and other passengers are advised to wear seat belts.
Answer:
(a) if a player does not lower his hands while catching the ball, the time to stop the
ball is very small. So a large force has to be applied to reduce the velocity of the ball to
zero or to change the momentum of the ball. When a player lowers his hands, the
time to stop the ball is increased and hence less force has to be applied to cause the
same change in the momentum of the ball. Therefore, the hands of the player are not
injured.
(b) The vehicles are fitted with shockers (i.e., springs)

The floor of a vehicle is cónnected to the lower part of the vehicle by springs or
shockers. When the vehicle moves over a rough road, the force due to jerks is
transmitted to the floor of the vehicle through the shockers. The shockers increase the
time of transmission of the force of jerk to reach the floor of the vehicle. Hence less
force is experienced by the passengers in the vehicles.
(c) A karate player can break a pile of tiles with a single blow of his hand because he
strikes the pile of tiles with his hand very fast, during which the entire linear
momentum of the fast-moving hand is reduced to zero in a very short interval of time.
This exerts a very large force on the pile of tiles which is sufficient to break them, by a
single blow of his hand.
(d) In a high jump athletic event., the athletes are allowed to fall either on a sand bed
or cushioned bed: This is done to increase the time of athletes fall to stop after making
the high jump, which decreases the rate of change of linear momentum and decreases
the impact.
(e) In a moving car, the drivers and other passengers are advised to wear seat belts:
When brakes are applied sudden1y, the passengers of the car fall forward due to the
inertia of motion. The seat belt worn by passengers of the car prevents them from
falling forward suddenly. This enables the entire linear momentum of the passengers
to reduce to zero over a long interval of time, hence it prevents injury.

State the conditions for positive, negative, and zero work. Give at least one example of
each.
Answer:
1. Zero work: If the angle between force and displacement is 90°, then work done is
said to be zero work.
Example: When a man carries a load on his head and moves on a level road. Work
done by the man on the load is zero.
2. Positive work: Work done is said to be positive if the force applied on an object and
displacement are in the same direction.
W = Fs
Example: Work done by the force of gravity on a falling body is positive.
3. Negative work: Work done is said to be negative if the applied force on an object
and displacement is in opposite direction.
W = -Fs
Her displacement is taken to be negative (- s).
Example: Work done by friction force applied is negative on a moving body.

24 100 g of 10% lead nitrate is mixed with 100 g of 10% sodium chloride solution in a 2
closed container. 13.66 g of lead chloride is precipitated. The mixture contains 180 g
of water and sodium nitrate. What amount of sodium nitrate is formed?
Answer.
Before reaction,
Mass of lead nitrate = 10% of 100 g = 10 g
Mass of sodium chloride = 10% of 100 g = 10 g
Mass of water = 90 g + 90 g = 180 g
Total mass = 10 g + 10 g + 180 g = 200 g
After reaction,
Mass of water = 180 g
Mass of lead chloride = 13.66 g
Now by law of conservation of mass,
Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products = 200g
Thus, mass of sodium nitrate = 200 g – (180 g + 13.66 g) = 6.34 g

33 What are the roles of epidermis in plants? 3
Answer:
The functions of epidermis are:
 Epidermis is usually made up of a single layer of cells and gives protection.

 The epidermis may be thicker in some plants living in dry habitats or often
secrete a waxy, water- resistant layer on their outer surface called cutin
(chemical substance with waterproof quality) to prevent water loss.
 The epidermis of leaves have small pores called as stomata which help in
gaseous exchange and transpiration.
 The epidermal cells of roots bear root hairs that greatly increase the total
absorptive surface area of the roots for absorption of water.

34 (a) Tabulate the differences in the characteristics of states of matter. 5
(b) Comment upon the following: rigidity, compressibility, fluidity, filling a
gas container, shape, kinetic energy and density.
Answer. (a)
(b) Rigidity→ It is the property of matter to maintain its shape even if external forces
work and the solids show this property.
Compressibility → It is the property of matter to allow compression under high
pressure and the gases show this property.
Fluidity → It is the property of a substance to easily flow and allow change in its shape
under external forces and this property is exhibited by both liquids and gases.
Filling a gas container → Gases can be compressed easily hence they can be filled
within a vessel at high pressure. This property of gases allows their convenient filling
into a small container or cylinder and that also in a large volume. It also allows their
easy transport from one place to the other eg CNG.
Shape→ According to the type of matter shape differs depending upon location of
particles like Solids have definite shape while Liquids acquire the shape of their
container and gases as such don’t have any shape.
Kinetic energy → It is the kind of energy present in an object when it is under motion
as the particles of that object/matter are continuously moving therefore matter has
kinetic energy. However greater is the movement more will be the kinetic energy and
vice a versa i.e. solid < liquid < gas Density → Mass per unit volume of a
substance/matter is known as its density i.e.
density = mass/volume.
35 A bus starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m s -2 for 2 5
minutes. Find (a) the speed acquired, (b) the distance travelled.
Solution
(a) Given, the bus starts from rest. Therefore, initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 0.1 m.s-2
Time = 2 minutes = 120 s
Acceleration is given by the equation a=(v-u)/t
Therefore, terminal velocity (v) = (at)+u
= (0.1 m.s-2 * 120 s) + 0 m.s-1
= 12 m.s-1 + 0 m.s-1
Therefore, terminal velocity (v) = 12 m/s
(b) As per the third motion equation, 2as = v2 – u2
Since a = 0.1 m.s-2, v = 12 m.s-1, u = 0 m.s-1, and t = 120 s, the following value for s
(distance) can be obtained.
Distance, s =(v2 – u2)/2a
=(122 – 02)/2(0.1)
Therefore, s = 720 m.
The speed acquired is 12 m.s-1 and the total distance travelled is 720 m.

Explain the following, giving examples.
(a) Saturated solution
(b) Pure substance
(c) Colloid
(d) suspension
Solution:
(a) Saturated solution: It is the state in a solution at a specific temperature when a
solvent is no more soluble without an increase in temperature. Example: Excess
carbon leaves off as bubbles from a carbonated water solution saturated with carbon.
(b) Pure substance: A substance is said to be pure when it comprises only one kind of
molecule, atom or compound without adulteration with any other substance or any
divergence in the structural arrangement. Examples: Sulphur, diamonds etc.
(c) Colloid: A Colloid is an intermediate between solution and suspension. It has
particles of various sizes that range between 2 to 1000 nanometers. Colloids can be
distinguished from solutions using the Tyndall effect. Tyndall effect is defined as the
scattering of light (light beam) through a colloidal solution. Examples: Milk and gelatin.
(d) Suspension: It is a heterogeneous mixture that comprises solute particles that are
insoluble but are suspended in the medium. These particles that are suspended are
not microscopic but visible to bare eyes and are large enough (usually larger than a
micrometre) to undergo sedimentation.
36 When 3.0g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g of oxygen, 11.00 g of carbon dioxide is 5

produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00g of carbon is
burnt in 50.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your
answer?
Solution:
When 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g of oxygen, 11.00 g of carbon dioxide is
produced.
Given that
3.0 g of carbon combines with 8.0 g of oxygen to give 11.0 of carbon dioxide.
Find out
We need to find out the mass of carbon dioxide that will be formed when 3.00 g of
carbon is burnt in 50.00 g of oxygen.
Solution
First, let us write the reaction taking place here.
C + O2 → CO2
As per the given condition, when 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g of oxygen, 11.00 g
of carbon dioxide is produced.
3g + 8g →11 g ( from the above reaction)
The total mass of reactants = mass of carbon + mass of oxygen
=3g+8g
=11g
The total mass of reactants = Total mass of products
Therefore, the law of conservation of mass is proved.
Then, it also depicts that carbon dioxide contains carbon and oxygen in a fixed ratio by
mass, which is 3:8.
Thus, it further proves the law of constant proportions.
3 g of carbon must also combine with 8 g of oxygen only.
This means that (50−8)=42g of oxygen will remain unreacted.
The remaining 42 g of oxygen will be left un-reactive. In this case, too, only 11 g of
carbon dioxide will be formed
The above answer is governed by the law of constant proportions.

A stone of 1 kg is thrown with a velocity of 20 ms-1 across the frozen surface of a lake
and comes to rest after travelling a distance of 50 m. What is the force of friction
between the stone and the ice?
Solution
Given, Mass of the stone (m) = 1kg
Initial velocity (u) = 20m/s
Terminal velocity (v) = 0 m/s (the stone reaches a position of rest)
Distance travelled by the stone (s) = 50 m
As per the third equation of motion
v² = u² + 2as
Substituting the values in the above equation we get,
0² = (20)² + 2(a)(50)
-400 = 100a
a = -400/100 = -4m/s² (retardation)
We know that
F = m×a
Substituting above obtained value of a = -4 in F = m x a
We get,
F = 1 × (-4) = -4N
Here the negative sign indicates the opposing force which is Friction

37 The knowledge of valencies of various radicals helps us to write the 4
formulae of chemical compounds. The total positive charge on positive
ions (cations) is equal to the total negative charge on negative ions
(anions) in a molecule. Therefore, in writing the formula of a compound,
the positive and negative ions are adjusted in such a way that the total
number of positive charges of positive ions (cations) becomes equal to
the total number of negative charges of negative ions (anions).
There is another simple method for writing the formulae of ionic
compounds. In this method, the valencies (or positive or negative
charges) of the ions can be ‘crossed over’ to give subscripts. The purpose
of crossing over of charges is to find the number of ions required to
equalise the number of positive and negative charges.

Comment on the following statements:

(а) Evaporation produces cooling.
(b) Rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution decreases with increase in humidity.
(c) Sponge though compressible is a solid.
Answer:
(а) For evaporation to occur, heat energy is needed. This heat energy is taken out from
the substance or the surroundings. As a result surrounding becomes cool. Thus,
evaporation causes cooling.
(b) By humidity we mean, the amount of water vapours present in the air. With
increase in humidity the rate of evaporation decreases. If the humidity of air is already
high, it can hold only a little more amount of water vapour to reach that optimum
level, therefore the rate of evaporation decreases.

34 What happens to the force between two objects, if 5
(i) The mass of one object is doubled?
(ii) The distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
(iii) The masses of both objects are doubled?
Solution:
(i)
According to universal law of gravitation, the force between 2 objects (m 1 and m2) is
proportional to their plenty and reciprocally proportional to the sq. of the distance(R)
between them.
If the mass is doubled for one object.

F = 2F, so the force is also doubled.
(ii)
If the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled
If it’s doubled
Hence,
F = (Gm1m2)/(2R)2
F = 1/4 (Gm1m2)/R2
F = F/4
Force thus becomes one-fourth of its initial force.
Now, if it’s tripled
Hence,
F = (Gm1m2)/(3R)2
F = 1/9 (Gm1m2)/R2
F = F/9
Force thus becomes one-ninth of its initial force.
(iii)
If masses of both the objects are doubled, then
F = 4F, Force will therefore be four times greater than its actual value.

An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its

potential energy? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is
half-way down.
Solution:
Given Mass (m) = 40 kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g)= 10m/s²
Height (h)= 5m
Potential energy= m × g× h
P.E= 40 × 10 × 5 = 2000J
Potential energy = 2000J ( 2000 joules)
At a height of 5 metres, the object has a potential energy of 2000 J.
When this object is allowed to fall and it is halfway down, its height above the ground
will be half of 5 m= 5/2= 2.5m.
P.E at Halfway down= m× g×h
P.E= 40× 10 × 2.5= 1000J
[h= 2.5 m]
Potential Energy halfway down= 1000 joules.
According to the law of conservation of energy:
Total potential energy= potential energy halfway down+ kinetic energy halfway down
2000 = 1000 + K.E halfway down
K.E at halfway down= 2000- 1000= 1000 J
Kinetic energy at halfway down= 1000 joules.
36 A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h–1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly 5
in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h –1 in
another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper,
plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled
farther after the brakes were applied?
Solution
The speed v/s time graphs for the two cars can be plotted as follows.
The total displacement of each car can be obtained by calculating the area beneath
the speed-time graph.
Therefore, displacement of the first car = area of triangle AOB
= (1/2)*(OB)*(OA)
But OB = 5 seconds and OA = 52 km.h-1 = 14.44 m/s
Therefore, the area of the triangle AOB is given by: (1/2)*(5s)*(14.44ms -1) = 36 meters
Now, the displacement of the second car is given by the area of the triangle COD
= (1/2)*(OD)*(OC)
But OC = 10 seconds and OC = 3km.h-1 = 0.83 m/s
Therefore, area of triangle COD = (1/2)*(10s)*(0.83ms-1) = 4.15 meters
Therefore, the first car is displaced by 36 meters whereas the second car is displaced
by 4.15 meters. Therefore, the first car (which was traveling at 52 kmph) travelled
farther post the application of brakes.

Give reasons
a) A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
b) A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container.
c) A wooden table should be called a solid.
d) We can easily move our hand in the air, but to do the same through a solid block
of wood, we need a karate expert.
Solution:
(a) There is a low force of attraction between gas particles. The particles in the filled
vessel are free to move about.
(b) Gaseous particles have the weakest attraction force. They are always moving in a
haphazard manner. When a gas particle collides with the container’s walls, it exerts
force and, thus pressure on the wall.

are tightly packed. They do not conform to the container’s shape. As a result, the solid
features of a hardwood table are satisfied.
(d) The boundaries between air particles are quite loose. They are a long way apart
and have a lot of space between them. As a result, we may move our hands freely in
the air. The particles in a solid block, on the other hand, are bound together by a
strong force of attraction. As a result, there is either some or no space between them.
As a result, we will require a karate expert.

39 There are three states of matter – solid, liquid, and gas. 4
Solids have a definite shape, distinct boundaries, and fixed volumes, that
is, have negligible compressibility. Solids have a tendency to maintain
their shape when subjected to outside force. Solids may break under
force but it is difficult to change their shape, so they are rigid.
Liquids have no fixed shape but have a fixed volume. They take up the
shape of the container in which they are kept. Liquids flow and change
shape, so they are not rigid but can be called fluid.
Gas has an indefinite shape and no fixed volume. Gas gets the shape and
volume of the container.
Gas has very low density hence is light. Gas can flow easily and hence is
called fluid.

Two spheres of masses 20 g and 40 g moving in a straight line in the same direction
with velocities of 3 mIs and 2 m/s respectively. They collide with each other and after
the collision, the sphere of mass 20 g moves with a velocity of 2.5 miles. Find the
velocity of the second ball after confusion.
Answer:
Given, m1 = 20 g = 20 x 10-3 kg
m1 = 40g = 40g x 10-3kg
u1 = 3 m/s
u2 = 2 m/s
υ1 = 2.5 m/s
Applying conservation of linear momentum,
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1υ1 + m2υ2
20 x 10-3 x 3 + 40 x 10-3 x 2 = 20 x 10-3 x 2.5 + 40 x 10-3 x υ2
υ2 = 2.25m/s.
30 Which will exert more pressure 100 kg mass on an area of 10m2 or 50kg mass on an 3

Answer:
Given, m1 = 100 kg
m2 =50 kg
A1 = 10 m2
A2 = 4 m 2
F1 = m1 g = 1000N
F2 = m2g = 500 N
P1 = F1/A1 = 1000N/10m2 = 100 pa
P2 = F2/A2= 500/4m2 = 125 pa
50 kg mass on 4 m2 exerts more pressure.

 Human beings cannot hear ultrasonic sounds. Children under the age of five
and some animals, such as dogs can hear sounds up to 25,000 Hz.
 As people grow older, their hearing sensation for higher frequencies becomes
weaker.
 Ultrasonic sounds are used by dolphins, bats and porpoises to navigate in dark
and to catch their prey.
 Some moths can hear high-frequency ultrasonic squeaks of the bat and know
when a bat is flying nearby and are able to escape capture. Rats also play
games by producing ultrasound.
32 (a) Give definition of health. 3
(b) State and explain in brief the four major factors which cause disease.
Answer:
(a) ‘Health’ is defined as a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well being of
a person.
(b) The four factors whose non availability or absence can cause disease are:
(i) Proper nourishing food: If the person does not get proper nourishing food and a
balanced diet, then disease may affect the person.
(ii) Proper hygienic conditions and cleanliness: If the surroundings are not hygienic and
the public cleanliness is ignored in a society, then the individuals living there become
more prone to diseases.
(iii) Good social conditions: The society in which the person lives should cater towards
a healthy mind set of the members of the society. A bad social environment makes the
individuals of the society develop an unhealthy attitude.
(iv) Good economic conditions: Poverty is a major cause of diseases and poor
economic conditions increase the chances of spread of diseases in the society due to
inadequate food and unhygienic conditions.
33 Comment upon the following: 3

(i) Rigidity
(ii) Compressibility
(iii) Fluidity
Answer:
(i) Rigidity means tendency to maintain shape when some outside force is applied due
to strong interparticle force.
(ii) Compressibility means tendency to decrease volume when some outside force is
applied. Due to large interparticle distances in gases their volume decreases when
some pressure is applied on them therefore, gases possess high compressibility.
(iii) Fluidity means tendency to flow. Due to large interparticle distances and weak
forces of attraction gases have highest fluidity.

34 Pragya tested the solubility of three different substances at different temperatures 5
and collected the data as given below (results are given in the following table, as
grams of a substance dissolved in 100 grams of water to form a saturated solution).
Substance dissolved Temperature in K

283 293 313 333 353
Solubility
Potassium nitrate 21 32 62 106 167
Sodium chloride 36 36 36 37 37
Potassium chloride 35 35 40 46 54
Ammonium chloride 24 37 41 55 66
(a) What mass of potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated
solution of
potassium nitrate in 50 grams of water at 313K?
(b) Pragya makes a saturated solution of potassium chloride in water at 353 K and
leaves the
solution to cool at room temperature. What would she observe as the solution
cools? Explain.
(c) Find the solubility of each salt at 293 K. Which salt has the highest solubility at
this
temperature?
(d) What is the effect of change of temperature on the solubility of a salt?
Solution:
(a) Given:
Mass of potassium nitrate required to produce a saturated solution in 100 g of water
at 313 K = 62g
To find:
Mass of potassium nitrate required to produce a saturated solution in 50 g of water =?
Required amount = 62 x 50/100 = 31
Hence, 31 g of potassium nitrate is required.
(b) The solubility of potassium chloride in water is decreased when a saturated
solution of potassium chloride loses heat at 353 K. Consequently, Pragya would
observe crystals of potassium chloride, which would have surpassed its solubility at
low temperatures.
(c) As per the given data, that is
Solubility of potassium nitrate at 293K = 32 g
Solubility of sodium chloride at 293K = 36 g
Solubility of potassium chloride at 293K = 35 g
Solubility of ammonium chloride at 293K = 37g
We can observe from this data that ammonium chloride has the highest solubility at
293K.
(d) Effect of change of temperature on the solubility of salts:
The table clearly depicts that the solubility of the salt is dependent upon the
temperature and increases with an increase in temperature. With this, we can infer
that when a salt arrives at its saturation point at a specific temperature, there is a
propensity to dissolve more salt through an increase in the temperature of the
solution.
35 Two objects of masses 100 g and 200 g are moving along the same line and direction 5
with velocities of 2 ms–1 and 1 ms–1, respectively. They collide and after the collision,
the first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 ms –1. Determine the velocity of the
second object.
Solution
Assuming that the first object is object A and the second one is object B, it is given
that:
Mass of A (m1) = 100g
Mass of B (m2) = 200g
Initial velocity of A (u1) = 2 m/s
Initial velocity of B (u2) = 1 m/s
Final velocity of A (v1) = 1.67 m/s
Final velocity of B (v2) =?
Total initial momentum = Initial momentum of A + initial momentum of B
= m1u1 + m2u2
= (100g) × (2m/s) + (200g) × (1m/s) = 400 g.m.sec-1
As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum before collision
must be equal to the total momentum post collision.
v2 = 1.165 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of object B after the collision is 1.165 meters per second.
OR
A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 49 m/s.
Calculate
(i) The maximum height to which it rises,
(ii) The total time it takes to return to the surface of the earth.
Solution:
Given data:
Initial velocity u = 49 m/s
Final speed v at maximum height = 0
Acceleration due to earth gravity g = -9.8 m/s2 (thus negative as ball is thrown up).
By third equation of motion,
2gH = v2 – u2
2 × (- 9.8) × H = 0 – (49)2
– 19.6 H = – 2401
H = 122.5 m
Total time T = Time to ascend (Ta) + Time to descend (Td)
v = u + gt
0 = 49 + (-9.8) x Ta
Ta = (49/9.8) = 5 s
Also, Td = 5 s
Therefore T = Ta + Td
T=5+5
T = 10 s
36 Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which 5
occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does
the bob eventually come to rest? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a
violation of the law of conservation of energy?
Solution:
Consider the case of an oscillation pendulum.
When an apparatus moves from its mean position P to either of its extreme positions
A or B, it rises through a height h on top of the mean level P. At this time, the K.E. of
the bob changes fully into P.E. The K.E. becomes zero, and also, the bob possesses P.E.
solely. Because it moves towards purpose P, its P.E. decreases increasingly.
Consequently, the K.E. will increase. Because the bob reaches purpose P, its P.E.
becomes zero, and also, the bob possesses K.E. solely. This method is perennial as long
as the apparatus oscillates.
The bob doesn’t oscillate forever. It involves rest as a result of air resistance resisting
its motion. The apparatus loses its K.E. to beat this friction and stops once in a while.
The law of conservation of energy isn’t desecrated because the energy lost by the
apparatus to beat friction is gained by its surroundings. Hence, the overall energy of
the apparatus and also the encompassing system stay preserved.
OR
What is the mass of
(a) 1 mole of nitrogen atoms?
(b) 4 moles of aluminium atoms (Atomic mass of aluminium =27)?
(c) 10 moles of sodium sulphite (Na2SO3)?
Solution:
The mass of the above-mentioned list is as follows:
(a) Atomic mass of nitrogen atoms = 14u
Mass of 1 mole of nitrogen atoms = Atomic mass of nitrogen atoms
Therefore, the mass of 1 mole of nitrogen atom is 14g.
(b) Atomic mass of aluminium =27u
Mass of 1 mole of aluminium atoms = 27g
1 mole of aluminium atoms = 27g, 4 moles of aluminium atoms = 4 x 27 = 108g
(c) Mass of 1 mole of sodium sulphite Na2SO3 = Molecular mass of sodium sulphite = 2
x Mass of Na + Mass of S + 3 x Mass of O = (2 x 23) + 32 +(3x 16) = 46+32+48 = 126g
Therefore, mass of 10 moles of Na2SO3 = 10 x 126 = 1260g

Both sounds travel through the same medium, that is, air and arrive at
our ears at the same time. Both sounds travel at the same speed
irrespective of the source. But the sounds receive are different. This is due
to the different characteristics associated with the sound. Pitch is one of
the characteristics. How the brain interprets the frequency of emitted
sound is called its pitch. The faster the vibration of the source, the higher
the frequency and the higher the pitch. The magnitude of the maximum
disturbance in the medium on either side of the mean value is called the
amplitude of the wave. It is usually represented by the letter (A).
The loudness or softness of a sound is determined basically by its

amplitude. The amplitude of the sound wave depends upon the force
with which an object is made to vibrate. If we strike a table lightly, we
hear a soft sound because we produce a sound wave of less energy
(amplitude).
The quality of timbre of a sound is that characteristic that enables us to

distinguish one sound from another having the same pitch and loudness.
The sound which is more pleasant is said to be of rich quality. A sound of
a single frequency is called a tone. The sound which is produced due to a
mixture of several frequencies is called a note and is pleasant to listen to.
Noise is unpleasant to the ear! Music is pleasant to hear and is of rich
quality.

17 Assertion : If the net external force on the body is zero, then its 1
acceleration is zero.
Reason : Acceleration does not depend on force.
Answer: (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
According to Newton’s second law,

force = acceleration x mass
i.e., if net external force on the body is zero (F = 0), then, the
acceleration of a body is also zero.
18 Assertion : An object may acquire acceleration even if it is moving at 1

a constant speed.
Reason : With change in the direction of motion, an object can
acquire acceleration.
Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the
This is the equation of a parabola. A parabola results when one

quantity is proportional to the square of the other. When an object is
moving with a constant velocity (zero acceleration), the displacement
versus time graph is a straight line and its slope is velocity. When an
object is moving at a constant speed but its direction of motion
changes, its velocity changes and thus acceleration is produced.
Motion of an object in a circular path is such an example. In a
uniform circular motion, the direction of motion of the object
changes continuously and hence the velocity changes continuously
even though the speed is constant.

27 Is air a mixture or a compound? Give three reasons. 3
Answer:
Air is a mixture and not a compound as discussed below:
(i) The properties of a mixture are in between those of its constituents. The two major
components of air are oxygen (20.9% by volume) and nitrogen (78.1% by volume). In
oxygen, any fuel bums brightly but in nitrogen it gets extinguished. In contrast, in air
the fuel bums slowly.
(ii) The components of a mixture can be separated by simple physical methods. For
example, the components of air can be separated by fractional distillation of liquid air.
(iii) The composition of a mixture is variable. The composition of air is also variable. It
has more oxygen in the country side than in big cities.
(iv) When air is obtained by mixing its constituent gases, no heat is either evolved or
absorbed.
(v) Liquid air does not have a fixed boiling point.

(d) Calculate the number of atoms in H2SO4?
1 mole of H2SO4 = Gram Molecular mass = 6.023 × 1023 molecules
Answer:
(a) In H2SO4 → 2 gram atoms of hydrogen are present
(b) One mole of H2SO4 contains = 6.023 × 1023 molecules

= 2 × 6.023 × 1023 atoms of H + 6.023 × 1023 atoms of S + 4 × 6.023 ×1023 atoms of O
∴ 2H = 2 × 6.023 × 1023
= 12.046 × 1023
(c) In H2SO4;
For every 2 hydrogen there are oxygen atoms
So for 1 hydrogen = \(\frac { 4 }{ 2 }\) = oxygen are present
= 2 oxygen atoms are present o
For 1 oxygen = \(\frac { 2 }{ 4 }\) hydrogen atoms are present
= 0.5 hydrogen atoms are present.
(d) 1 mole of H2SO4 = 6.023 × 1023 atoms
29 The number of electrons, protons and neutrons in a species are equal to 18, 16 and 16 3
respectively. Assign proper symbol of the species.
Answer:
Number of electrons present = 18
Number of neutrons present = 16
Atomic number of the element = 16
The element with atomic number 16 is sulphur (S). Since it has 18 electrons and not
16, it is therefore, an anion (S2- ion).

Answer:
(a) AIDS can spread by four ways: Sexual contact, Transfusion of AIDS infected blood,
use of infected syringe and from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy or
through breast feeding.
(b) Antibiotics block the biochemical pathways of the microorganism in order to inhibit
their growth and kill them. But, the viruses do not employ such biochemical pathways
of their own. They utilise the host machinery to multiply themselves. So, antibiotics
cannot be used for the treatment of the viral diseases like AIDS.

34 An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its 5
potential energy? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is
half-way down.
Solution:
Given Mass (m) = 40 kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g)= 10m/s²
Height (h)= 5m
Potential energy= m × g× h
P.E= 40 × 10 × 5 = 2000J
Potential energy = 2000J ( 2000 joules)
At a height of 5 metres, the object has a potential energy of 2000 J.
When this object is allowed to fall and it is halfway down, its height above the ground
will be half of 5 m= 5/2= 2.5m.
P.E at Halfway down= m× g×h
P.E= 40× 10 × 2.5= 1000J
[h= 2.5 m]
Potential Energy halfway down= 1000 joules.
According to the law of conservation of energy:
Total potential energy= potential energy halfway down+ kinetic energy halfway down
2000 = 1000 + K.E halfway down
K.E at halfway down= 2000- 1000= 1000 J
Kinetic energy at halfway down= 1000 joules.
35 A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20 m. If its velocity increases uniformly at 5

the rate of 10 m s-2, with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will
it strike the ground?
Solution
Given, initial velocity of the ball (u) = 0 (since it began at the rest position)
Distance travelled by the ball (s) = 20m
Acceleration (a) = 10 ms-2
As per the third motion equation,
v2 – u2 = 2as
Therefore,
= 2*(10ms-2)*(20m) + 0
v2 = 400m2s-2
Therefore, v= 20ms-1
The ball hits the ground with a velocity of 20 meters per second.
As per the first motion equation,
Therefore, t = (v-u)/a
= (20-0)ms-1 / 10ms-2
= 2 seconds
Therefore, the ball reaches the ground after 2 seconds.

Explain the following, giving examples.

(a) Saturated solution
(b) Pure substance
(c) Colloid
(d) suspension
Solution:
(a) Saturated solution: It is the state in a solution at a specific temperature when a
solvent is no more soluble without an increase in temperature. Example: Excess
carbon leaves off as bubbles from a carbonated water solution saturated with carbon.
(b) Pure substance: A substance is said to be pure when it comprises only one kind of
molecule, atom or compound without adulteration with any other substance or any
divergence in the structural arrangement. Examples: Sulphur, diamonds etc.
(c) Colloid: A Colloid is an intermediate between solution and suspension. It has
particles of various sizes that range between 2 to 1000 nanometers. Colloids can be
distinguished from solutions using the Tyndall effect. Tyndall effect is defined as the
scattering of light (light beam) through a colloidal solution. Examples: Milk and gelatin.
(d) Suspension: It is a heterogeneous mixture that comprises solute particles that are
insoluble but are suspended in the medium. These particles that are suspended are
not microscopic but visible to bare eyes and are large enough (usually larger than a
micrometre) to undergo sedimentation.
36 Convert into a mole. 5
(a) 12g of oxygen gas
(b) 20g of water
(c) 22g of carbon dioxide
Solution:
Conversion of the above-mentioned molecules into moles is as follows:
(a) Given: Mass of oxygen gas=12g
Molar mass of oxygen gas = 2 Mass of Oxygen = 2 x 16 = 32g
Number of moles = Mass given / molar mass of oxygen gas = 12/32 = 0.375 moles
(b) Given: Mass of water = 20g
Molar mass of water = 2 x Mass of Hydrogen + Mass of Oxygen = 2 x 1 + 16 = 18g
Number of moles = Mass given / molar mass of water
= 20/18 = 1.11 moles
(c) Given: Mass of carbon dioxide = 22g
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = Mass of C + 2 x Mass of Oxygen = 12 + 2x 16 =
12+32=44g
Number of moles = Mass given/ molar mass of carbon dioxide = 22/44 = 0.5 moles

Define valency by taking examples of silicon and oxygen.
Solution:
The definite combining capacity of the atoms of each element, wherein electrons are
lost, gained or shared to make the octet of electrons present in the outermost shell, is
defined as valency. To measure valency, we can figure out the number of electrons
that are required to complete the shell in which it is contained or losing excess
electrons, if present, once the filling is complete.
Example: To find the valency of silicon,
The atomic number of silicon is 14.
The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in silicon, i.e., 14.
The distribution of electrons in silicon atoms is K – 2, L – 8, M – 4
Hence, from the distribution of silicon, it is clearly evident that to fill the M shell, 4
electrons are required. Therefore, its valency is 8-4=4
To find the valency of oxygen,
The atomic number of oxygen is 8.
The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in oxygen, i.e., 8.
The distribution of electrons in oxygen atom is K – 2, L – 6
Hence, from the distribution of oxygen, it is clearly evident that to fill the M shell, 6
more electrons are required. Therefore, its valency is 8-6=2

37 A mole of an atom is a collection of atoms whose total mass is the 4
number of grams equal to the atomic mass. Since an equal number of
moles of different elements contain an equal number of atoms it
becomes convenient to express the amounts of the elements in terms of
moles. A mole represents a definite number of particles viz, atoms,
molecules, ions or electrons. This definite number is called the Avogadro
number or Avogadro constant which is equal to 6.022 × 1023. Hence a
mole represents 6.022 × 1023 particles of the substance. One mole of a
substance represents one gram-formula of the substance. One mole of a
gas at standard temperature and pressure occupies 22.4 litres.

38 The third law of motion states that when one object exerts a force on 4
another object, the second object instantaneously exerts a force back on
the first. These two forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in
direction. These forces act on different objects and never on the same
object. It is important to note that even though the action and reaction
forces are always equal in magnitude; these forces may not produce
accelerations of equal magnitudes, this is because each force acts on a
different object that may have a different mass. The two opposing forces
are also known as action and reaction forces. Answer the following

38 According to Dalton’s atomic theory, all matter whether an element, a 4

compound, or a mixture is composed of small particles called atoms
which can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction.
Dalton’s theory provides a simple explanation for the laws of chemical
combination. He used his theory to explain the law of conservation of
masses, the law of constant proportions, and the law of multiple
proportions, based on various postulates of the theory. Dalton was the
first scientist to use the symbols for the elements in a very specific sense.
When he used a symbol for an element he also meant a definite quantity
of that element, that is one atom of that element.
Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of

conservation of mass?
(a) Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
(b) Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
(c) All the atoms of a given element are identical.
(d) During chemical combination, atoms of different elements combine in
simple ratios.
Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory explains law of definite
proportions?
(a) Atoms of an element do not change during a chemical reaction.
(b) An element consists of atoms having fixed mass and the number and
kind of atoms in a given compound is fixed.
(c) Different elements have different kind of atoms.
(d) Atoms are of various kinds
“If 100 g of calcium carbonate (whether in the form of marble or

chalk) is decomposed, 56 g of calcium oxide and 44 g of carbon
dioxide are formed.” Which law of chemical combination is
illustrated by this statement?
(a) Law of constant proportions
(b) Law of conservation of mass
(c) Law of multiple proportions
(d) Law of conservation of energy
OR
When 5 g calcium is burnt in 2 g oxygen, 7 g of calcium oxide is

produced. When 5 g of calcium is burnt in 20 g of oxygen, then also
7 g of calcium oxide is produced. Which law of chemical combination
is being followed?
(a) Law of conservation of mass
(b) Law of multiple proportions
(c) Law of constant proportions
(d) No law is being followed.
39 The mass of an atom is due to the masses of protons and neutrons in the 4
nucleus. The relative masses of protons and neutrons are almost equal to
one. Therefore, the atomic mass of an element should be nearly a whole
number. But in many cases the atomic masses are fractional. The main
reason for these fractional atomic masses is that these elements occur in
nature as a mixture of several isotopes. The atomic mass of an element is
the average of the atomic masses of these isotopes in the ratio of their
proportion of occurrence.
Chlorine occurs in nature in the form of two isotopes with atomic
masses 35 u and 37 u in the ratio of 3 : 1 respectively. The atomic
mass of chlorine is

33 Answer:
Newton’s law of gravitation: Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle
with a force, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and
inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two masses.
Pascal’s law: In an enclosed fluid, if pressure is changed in any part of the fluid, then
this change in pressure is transmitted undiminished to all the other parts of the fluid.
Archimede’s principle: When a body is immersed fully or partially in a fluid, it

experiences an upward force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.
34 Solution
Given, distance covered by the truck (s) = 400 meters
Time taken to cover the distance (t) = 20 seconds
The initial velocity of the truck (u) = 0 (since it starts from a state of rest)
35 Solution:
Given data:
Initial velocity u = 40m/s
g = 10 m/s2
Max height final velocity = 0
Consider third equation of motion
v2 = u2 – 2gs [negative as the object goes up]
0 = (40)2 – 2 x 10 x s
s = (40 x 40) / 20
Maximum height s = 80m
Total Distance = s + s = 80 + 80
Total Distance = 160m
Total displacement = 0 (The first point is the same as the last point)
OR
Solution:
Given
Mass of the body = 20kg
Final velocity v = 2 m/s
The initial kinetic energy
Ei = (1/2) mu2 = (1/2) × 20 × (5)2
= 10 × 25
= 250 J
Final kinetic energy
Ef = (1/2) mv2 = (1/2) × 20 × (2)2
= 10 × 4
= 40 J
Therefore,
Work done = Change in kinetic energy
Work done = Ef – Ei
Work done = 40 J – 250 J
Work done = -210 J
36 Solution:
Height (s) of tower = 500 m
Velocity (v) of sound = 340 m s−1
Acceleration (g) due to gravity = 10 m s −1
Initial velocity (u) of the stone = 0
Time (t1) taken by the stone to fall to the tower base:
As per the second equation of motion,
s= ut1 + (½) g (t 1)2
500 = 0 x t1 + (½) 10 (t1)2
(t1)2 = 100
t1 = 10 s
Time (t2) taken by sound to reach the top from the tower base = 500/340 = 1.47 s
t = t1 + t2
t = 10 + 1.47
t = 11.47 s
OR

37 Sound bounces off a solid or a liquid like a rubber ball bounce off a wall. 4
Like the light, sound
gets reflected at the surface of a solid or liquid and follows the same laws
of reflection. The directions in which the sound is incident and is reflected
make equal angles with the normal to the reflecting surface at the point
of incidence, and the three are in the same plane. If we clap near a
suitable reflecting object such as a tall building or a mountain, we will
hear the same sound again a little later. This sound that we hear is called
an echo. The sensation of sound persists in our brain for about 0.1 s. To
hear a distinct echo the time interval between the original sound and the
reflected one must be at least 0.1s. Hence, for hearing distinct echoes, the
minimum distance of the obstacle from the source of sound must be 17.2
m. This distance will change with the temperature of air. Another
phenomenon of reflection of sound is reverberation. A sound created in a
big hall will persist by repeated reflection from the walls until it is reduced
to a value where it is no longer audible. The repeated reflection that
results in this persistence of sound is called reverberation. Excessive
reverberation is highly undesirable.

The speed of sound depends upon the following:
 The nature of the material (or medium) through which it travels. In general,
sound travels fastest in solids, slower in liquids and slowest in gases.
 The humidity of the air. As the humidity of air increases, sound travels faster.
Sound has more speed in humid air than in dry air.
 The temperature. The speed of sound in air at 0°C is 332 m/s whereas at 20°C,
it is 344 m/s. Thus, as the temperature rises, the speed of sound also increases.
29 Answer:
Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth is given by, g= GM/r2
If the Earth is considered to be a perfect sphere, mass of Earth, M = dυ = d x 4/3πr3
Putting value of mass in above formula g.
g = G×d×4/3πr3/r2
or, g = 4/3 πd GR
∴ d = 3g/4tGR
Here, d = average density of the Earth
g = acceleration due to gravity
G = universal gravitational constant.
OR
Answer:
Given, m1 = 20 g = 20 x 10-3 kg
m1 = 40g = 40g x 10-3kg
u1 = 3 m/s
u2 = 2 m/s
υ1 = 2.5 m/s
Applying conservation of linear momentum,
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1υ1 + m2υ2
20 x 10-3 x 3 + 40 x 10-3 x 2 = 20 x 10-3 x 2.5 + 40 x 10-3 x υ2
υ2 = 2.25m/s.

33 Answer:
(a) Evaporation, because conversion of liquid water to vapour occur at room
temperature.
(b) Condensation, because hot water vapour condense to form liquid water.
(c) Boiling, because heat of lava makes liquid water boil and hence steam is formed.
34 Solution
(a) It is possible; an object thrown up into the air has a constant acceleration due to
gravity acting on it. However, when it reaches its maximum height, its velocity is zero.
(b) it is possible; acceleration implies an increase or decrease in speed, and uniform
speed implies that the speed does not change over time
Circular motion is an example of an object moving with acceleration but with uniform
speed.
An object moving in a circular path with uniform speed is still under acceleration
because the velocity changes due to continuous changes in the direction of motion.
(c) It is possible; for an object accelerating in a circular trajectory, the acceleration is
perpendicular to the direction followed by the object.
35 Solution:
To calculate the number of aluminium ions in 0.051g of aluminium oxide,
1 mole of aluminium oxide = 6.022 x 1023 molecules of aluminium oxide
1 mole of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) = 2 x Mass of aluminium + 3 x Mass of oxygen
= (2x 27) + (3 x16) = 54 +48 = 102g
1 mole of aluminium oxide = 102g = 6.022 x 1023 molecules of aluminium oxide
Therefore, 0.051g of aluminium oxide has = 6.022 x 1023 / 102 x 0.051
= 3.011 x 1020 molecules of aluminium oxide
One molecule of aluminium oxide has 2 aluminium ions; hence, the number of
aluminium ions present in 0.051g of aluminium oxide = 2 x 3.011x 1020 molecules of
aluminium oxide.
= 6.022 x 1020

36 Solution
(a) Given, the force exerted by the train (F) = 40,000 N
Force of friction = -5000 N (the negative sign indicates that the force is applied in the
opposite direction)
Therefore, the net accelerating force = sum of all forces = 40,000 N + (-5000 N) =
35,000 N
(b) Total mass of the train = mass of engine + mass of each wagon = 8000kg + 5 ×
2000kg
The total mass of the train is 18000 kg.
As per the second law of motion, F = ma (or: a = F/m)
Therefore, acceleration of the train = (net accelerating force) / (total mass of the train)
= 35,000/18,000 = 1.94 ms-2
The acceleration of the train is 1.94 m.s-2.

Given data:
(i) When the stone from the top of the tower is thrown,
Initial velocity u’ = 0
Distance travelled = x
Time taken = t
Therefore,
(ii) When the stone is thrown upwards,

Distance travelled = (100 – x)
Time taken = t
From equations (a) and (b)

5t2 = 100 -25t + 5t2
t = (100/25) = 4sec.
After 4sec, two stones will meet
From (a)
x = 5t2 = 5 x 4 x 4 = 80m.
Putting the value of x in (100-x)
= (100-80) = 20m.
This means that after 4sec, 2 stones meet a distance of 20 m from the ground.

37 Dalton’s atomic theory suggested that the atom was indivisible and indestructible. 4
But the discovery of two fundamental particles (electrons and protons) inside the
atom, led to the failure of this aspect of Dalton’s atomic theory. It was then
considered necessary to know how electrons and protons are arranged within an
atom. For explaining this, many scientists proposed various atomic models. J.J.
Thomson was the first one to propose a model for the structure of an atom.
J.J. Thomson (1856- 1940) was a British physicist, He was awarded the Nobel
Prize in Physics for his work on the discovery of electrons. Thomson proposed the
model of an atom to be similar to that of a Christmas pudding. The electrons, in a
sphere of positive charge. We can also think of a watermelon, the positive charge
in the atom is spread all over like the red edible part of the watermelon, while the
electrons are studded in the positively charged sphere, like the seeds in the
watermelon. Thomson proposed that: An atom consists of a positively charged
sphere and the electrons are embedded in it. The negative and positive charges
are equal in magnitude. So, the atom as a whole is electrically neutral.
(1) Identify the correct statement
Statement 1 – Dalton’s atomic theory suggested that the atom was indivisible and

Air is a mixture and not a compound as discussed below:
(i) The properties of a mixture are in between those of its constituents. The two major
components of air are oxygen (20.9% by volume) and nitrogen (78.1% by volume). In
oxygen, any fuel bums brightly but in nitrogen it gets extinguished. In contrast, in air the
fuel bums slowly.
(ii) The components of a mixture can be separated by simple physical methods. For
example, the components of air can be separated by fractional distillation of liquid air.
(iii) The composition of a mixture is variable. The composition of air is also variable. It has
more oxygen in the country side than in big cities.
(iv) When air is obtained by mixing its constituent gases, no heat is either evolved or
absorbed.
(v) Liquid air does not have a fixed boiling point.

1 mole of calcium chloride = 111 g
222 g of CaCl2 is equivalent to 2 moles of CaCl2 Since 1 formula unit of CaCl2 gives 3 ions,
therefore, 1 mol of CaCl2 will give 3 moles of ions.
2 moles of CaCl2 would give 3 × 2 = 6 moles of ions.
No. of ions = No. of moles of ions × Avogadro number

30 Answer:
When an object is placed on the surface of the water, two forces act on the object.
 The gravitational force in the downward direction.

 Upthrust or buoyant force in the upward direction.
When the gravitational force is greater than the upthrust or buoyant force on the object,
the object sinks in water. if the upthrust or buoyant force is greater than or equal to the
gravitational force, then the object floats.
Or
if the average density of the object is greater than the density of water, the object sinks. If
the average density of the object is less than or equal to the density of water, the object
floats.
31 Answer:
When work is done on the body, the work is stored in the form of energy. Consider an
object of mass, m. Let it be raised through a height, h from the ground. A force is required
to do this. The minimum force required to raise the object is equal to the weight of the
object, mg. The object gains energy equal to the work done on it. Let the work done on
the object against gravity h be W.
i.e., W = force x displacement = mgh
Since work done on the object is equal to mgh, an energy equal to mgh units is gained by
the object. This is the potential energy (Ep) of the object.
∴ Ep = mgh
SI unit of potential energy is the joule (J).

many insect vectors which can cause diseases in human beings. So, our surrounding area
should be free of stagnant water.
(d) Social harmony ensures that the mental tensions and problems do not surround a
person and friendly relations are maintained among the individuals of the society. They
strive for the growth and well being of each other and thus better health is maintained in
such environment and surroundings. Better economic conditions enable a person to
invest more to attain good health by eating nutritive food, ensure protection from
diseases, get better medical facilities, etc. So, health of a person is better maintained if
economic conditions are good.

36 Answer:
Equation of motion by graphical method
Let us consider a body is moving with acceleration where u is initial velocity and u is final
velocity, s is the displacement of object and t is a time interval.
1. υ = u + at
We know that slope of υ – t graph gives acceleration so slope
= a = \(\frac{v-u}{t-0}\)
a = \(\frac{v-u}{t}\)
∴ υ = u + at
2. s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\) at2
We know that area under u – t graph gives the displacement.
Area = s = area of triangle CDE + area of rectangle ABCE
s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x t x (υ – u) from (υ – u = at)
Putting the value of υ – u
s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\) at2
3. υ2 – u2 = 2as
We know that area under υ – t graph gives displacement
Area = s = area of trapezium ABDE
s = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x (υ+u) x t From I (t = \(\frac{υ – u}{a}\))
Putting the value of t.
υ2 – u2 = 2as

37 A violin and a flute may both be played at the same time in an orchestra. 4
Both sounds travel through the same medium, that is, air and arrive at
our ears at the same time. Both sounds travel at the same speed
irrespective of the source. But the sounds receive are different. This is due
to the different characteristics associated with the sound. Pitch is one of
the characteristics. How the brain interprets the frequency of emitted
sound is called its pitch. The faster the vibration of the source, the higher
the frequency and the higher the pitch. The magnitude of the maximum
disturbance in the medium on either side of the mean value is called the
amplitude of the wave. It is usually represented by the letter (A).
The loudness or softness of a sound is determined basically by its

amplitude. The amplitude of the sound wave depends upon the force
with which an object is made to vibrate. If we strike a table lightly, we
hear a soft sound because we produce a sound wave of less energy
(amplitude).
The quality of timbre of a sound is that characteristic that enables us to

distinguish one sound from another having the same pitch and loudness.
The sound which is more pleasant is said to be of rich quality. A sound of
a single frequency is called a tone. The sound which is produced due to a
mixture of several frequencies is called a note and is pleasant to listen to.
Noise is unpleasant to the ear! Music is pleasant to hear and is of rich
quality.

38 According to Dalton’s atomic theory, all matter whether an element, a 4

compound, or a mixture is composed of small particles called atoms
which can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction.
Dalton’s theory provides a simple explanation for the laws of chemical
combination. He used his theory to explain the law of conservation of
masses, the law of constant proportions, and the law of multiple
proportions, based on various postulates of the theory. Dalton was the
first scientist to use the symbols for the elements in a very specific sense.
When he used a symbol for an element he also meant a definite quantity
of that element, that is one atom of that element.
Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of

conservation of mass?
(a) Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
(b) Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
(c) All the atoms of a given element are identical.
(d) During chemical combination, atoms of different elements combine in
simple ratios.
Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory explains law of definite

proportions?
(a) Atoms of an element do not change during a chemical reaction.
(b) An element consists of atoms having fixed mass and the number and
kind of atoms in a given compound is fixed.
(c) Different elements have different kind of atoms.
(d) Atoms are of various kinds
“If 100 g of calcium carbonate (whether in the form of marble or

chalk) is decomposed, 56 g of calcium oxide and 44 g of carbon
dioxide are formed.” Which law of chemical combination is
illustrated by this statement?
(a) Law of constant proportions
(c) Law of multiple proportions
OR
When 5 g calcium is burnt in 2 g oxygen, 7 g of calcium oxide is

produced. When 5 g of calcium is burnt in 20 g of oxygen, then also
7 g of calcium oxide is produced. Which law of chemical combination
is being followed?
(b) Law of multiple proportions
(d) No law is being followed.
39 Sound bounces off a solid or a liquid like a rubber ball bounce off a wall. 4
Like the light, sound
gets reflected at the surface of a solid or liquid and follows the same laws
of reflection. The directions in which the sound is incident and is reflected
make equal angles with the normal to the reflecting surface at the point
of incidence, and the three are in the same plane. If we clap near a
suitable reflecting object such as a tall building or a mountain, we will
hear the same sound again a little later. This sound that we hear is called
an echo. The sensation of sound persists in our brain for about 0.1 s. To
hear a distinct echo the time interval between the original sound and the
reflected one must be at least 0.1s. Hence, for hearing distinct echoes, the
minimum distance of the obstacle from the source of sound must be 17.2
m. This distance will change with the temperature of air. Another
phenomenon of reflection of sound is reverberation. A sound created in a
big hall will persist by repeated reflection from the walls until it is reduced
to a value where it is no longer audible. The repeated reflection that
results in this persistence of sound is called reverberation. Excessive
reverberation is highly undesirable.
(i) Which of the following is true related to the reflection of sound?
(a) Directions in which the sound is incident and is reflected make equal
angles with the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
(b) Incident wave reflected wave and normal lies in the same plane
(c) Both a and b are true.
(d) None of these

(ii)For hearing distinct echoes, the minimum distance of the obstacle
from the source of sound must be
(a) 10m
(b) 20m
(c) 17.2m
(d) None of these
(iii) Excessive reverberation is
(a) Desirable phenomenon
(c) Does not exist
(d) None of these
