Question 13.
Prove that 2 + 5√3 is an irrational number, given that √3 is an irrational number. [3]
OR
Using Euclid’s Algorithm, find the HCF of 2048 and 960.
Solution:
Let 2 + 5√3 = r, where, r is rational.
⇒ (2 + 5√3)2 = r2
⇒ 4 + 75 + 20√3 = r2
⇒ 79 + 20√3 = r2
⇒ 20√3 = r2 – 79
r 2 −79
⇒ √3 = 20
r 2 −79
OR
Step I:
Here 2048 > 960 so, On applying Euclid’s algorithm, we get
2048 = 960 × 2 + 128
Step II:
Because remainder 128 ≠ 0, so, On applying Euclid’s algorithm between 960 and 128, we get
960 = 128 × 7 + 64
Step III:
Again remainder 64 ≠ 0, so
128 = 64 × 2 + 0
Here remainder is 0. So, the process ends here. And the dividend is 64 so, required HCF is 64.

Question 22.
Write all the values of p for which the quadratic equation x2 + px + 16 = 0 has equal roots. Find the
roots of the equation so obtained. [3]
Solution:
Given, equation is x2 + px + 16 = 0
This is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0
where, a = 1, b = p and c = 16
D = b2 – 4ac = p2 – 4 × 1 × 16 = p2 – 64
for equal roots, we have D = 0
p2 – 64 = 0
⇒ p2 = 64
⇒ p = ±8
Putting p = 8 in given equation we have,
x2 + 8x + 16 = 0
⇒ (x + 4)2 = 0
⇒x+4=0
⇒ x = -4
Now, putting p = -8 in the given equation, we get
x2 – 8x + 16 = 0
⇒ (x – 4)2 = 0
⇒x=4
Required roots are -4 and -4 or 4 and 4.

Which term of the Arithmetic Progression -7, -12, -17, -22,…..will be -82? Is -100 any term of the
A.P.? Give a reason for your answer. [4]
OR
How many terms of the Arithmetic Progression 45, 39, 33, …. must be taken so that their sum is
180? Explain the double answer.
Solution:
-7, -12, -17, -22, …….
Here a = -7, d = -12 – (-7) = -12 + 7 = -5
Let Tn = -82
Tn = a + (n – 1) d
⇒ -82 = -7 + (n – 1) (-5)
⇒ -82 = -7 – 5n + 5
⇒ -82 = -2 – 5n
⇒ -82 + 2 = -5n
⇒ -80 = -5n
⇒ n = 16
Therefore, 16th term will be -82.
Let Tn = -100
Again, Tn = a + (n -1) d
⇒ -100 = -7 + (n – 1) (-5)
⇒ -100 = -7 – 5n + 5
⇒ -100 = – 2 – 5n
⇒ -100 + 2 = -5n
⇒ -98 = -5n
98
⇒ n = 5
OR
⇒ 2 [ 2a + (n – 1) d] = 180
n
⇒ n2 [90 – 6n + 6] = 180
n
⇒ n – 10n – 6n + 60 = 0
⇒ n(n – 10) – 6 (n – 10) =
0
⇒ (n – 10) (n – 6) = 0
⇒ n = 10, 6
This means that the sum of all terms from 7th to 10th is zero.
Question 30.
the sum of Aran’s marks in Hindi and English is 30. Had he got 2 marks more in
In a class test,
Hindi and 3 marks less in English, the product of the marks would have been 210. Find his marks
in the two subjects. [4]
Solution:
x + y = 30 …(i)
(x + 2)(y – 3) =
210 …(ii)
– y in equation (ii)
from equation (i) put x = 30
(30 – y + 2) (y – 3) = 210
⇒ (32 – y) (y – 3) = 210
⇒ 32y – 96 – y2 + 3y = 210
⇒ y2 – 35y + 306 = 0
⇒ y2 – 18y – 17y + 306 = 0
⇒ y(y – 18) – 17(y – 18) = 0
⇒ (y – 18) (y – 17) = o
⇒ y = 18, 17
Put y = 18 and 17 in equation (i), we get x = 12, 13
Hence his marks in hindi can be 12 and 13 and in english his marks can be 18 and 17.

Solution:
Given,
Question 14.
Solve for x: x2 + 5x – (a2 + a – 6) = 0 [3]
Solution:
Taking (a2 + a – 6)
= a2 + 3a – 2a – 6
= a(a + 3) – 2 (a + 3)
= (a + 3) (a – 2)
x2 + 5x – (a + 3) (a – 2) = 0
⇒ x2 + (a + 3)x – (a – 2)x – (a + 3)(a – 2) = 0
⇒ x[x + (a + 3)] – (a – 2) [x + (a + 3)] = 0
⇒ (x – a + 2)(x + a + 3) = 0
Hence, x – a + 2 = 0 and x + a + 3 = 0
x = a – 2 and x = -(a + 3)
Required values of x are (a – 2), -(a + 3)
Question 15.

Solution:
Given,
√3
sin (A + 2B) = 2 and cos (A + 4B) = 0
√3
90° (∵ cos 90° = 0)
cos (A + 4B) = cos
⇒ A + 4B = 90° …(ii)
and (ii), we get
On solving equation (i)
B = 15° and A = 30°

Question 24.
Two poles of equal heights are standing opposite to each other on either side of the road which is
80 m wide. From a point P between them on the road, the angle of elevation of the top of a pole is
60° and the angle of depression from the top of the other pole of point P is 30°. Find the heights of
the poles and the distance of the point P from the poles. [4]
Solution:
Let AC is the road of 80 m width. P is the point on road AC and height of poles AB and CD is h m.
80−x
⇒ h = …… (ii)
√3
⇒ x√3 =
√3
⇒ 3x = 80 – x
⇒ 4x = 80
⇒ x = 20m
On putting
x = 20 in equation (i), we get
h = √3 × 20 = 20√3
h = 20√3 m
Thus, height
of poles is 20√3 m and point P is at a distance of 20 m from left pole and (80 – 20)
i.e., 60 m from right pole.
Question 25.
The total cost
of a certain length of a piece of cloth is ₹ 200. If the piece was 5 m longer and each
metre of cloth costs ₹ 2 less, the cost of the piece would have remained unchanged. How long is
the piece and what is its original rate per metre? [4]
Solution:
Let the original length of the piece of cloth is x m and rate of cloth is ₹ y per metre.
Then according to question, we have
x × y = 200 …(i)
⇒ 2x – 5 × 200 x
= -10
⇒ 2x – 1000
x
= -10
⇒ x = 20 (x ≠ -25 length
of cloth can never be negative)
∴ x × y = 200
20 × y = 200
y = 10
Thus, length of the piece of cloth is 20 m and original price per metre is ₹ 10.

two spheres are melted to form a single big sphere. Find the diameter of the new sphere. [3]
Solution:
Given, a radius of small sphere be r = 3 cm
Both spheres are made by same metal, then their densities will be same.
Let radius of bigger sphere = r’ then,
⇒ r’3 + r3 = R3
⇒ 189 + 27 = R
3
⇒ 216 = R3
⇒R=6
D = 6 × 2 = 12
Radius of new
sphere is 6 cm.
So, the diameter is 12 cm.

Question 25.
A right cylindrical container of radius 6 cm and height 15 cm is full of ice-cream, which has to be
distributed to 10 children in equal cones having a hemispherical shape on the top. If the height of
the conical portion is four times its base radius, find the radius of the ice-cream cone. [4]
Solution:
Let R and H be the radius and height of the cylinder.
Given, R = 6 cm, H = 15 cm.
Volume of ice-cream in the cylinder = πR2H = π × 36 × 15 = 540π cm3
Let the radius of cone be r cm
Height of the cone (h) = 4r
Radius of hemispherical portion = r cm.
Volume of ice-cream in cone = Volume of cone + Volume of the hemisphere
Number of ice cream cones distributed to the children = 10
⇒ 10 × Volume of ice-cream in each cone = Volume of ice-cream in cylindrical container
⇒ 10 × 2πr3 = 540π
⇒ 20r3 = 540
⇒ r3 = 27
⇒r=3
Thus, the radius of the ice-cream cone is 3 cm.
