Explanation: According to graph ‘Bear 415’ is nearest Thus, it is not a linear equation in two variables.
to a paved road as compared to other Bear’s.
9. Option (A) is correct.
2. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: Original height of sapling = 0.25 m
10. Option (B) is correct.
Explanation: In || gm ABCD
Average growth rate per year = 0.27 m
AB = CD
∴ Height of Red maple tree after t years,
(opposite sides of a || gm are equal)
h = 0.25 + 0.27t.
So, 2y – 3 = 5
3. Option (B) is correct. 2y = 5 + 3
Explanation: As we can see from figure given below, y=4
the distance between the two intersecting lines
Increases as they travel beyond the point. 11. Option (B) is correct.
Explanation: Let the radius of a cone
r = 4x
A D
and slant height
P l = 7x
CSA = 792 cm2
C B prl = 792
4. Option (C) is correct. 22
or, × 4 x × 7 x = 792
Explanation: Let the angle be x, then 7
792 × 7
1 x2 = =9
By given condition, x = (90° –x) 22 × 4 × 7
5
or, x = 3 cm
or, 5x = 90° – x \ radius = 4 × 3
or, x = 15° = 12 cm
5. Option (B) is correct. 12. Option (B) is correct.
Explanation: According to quadrilateral’s property 13. Option (A) is correct.
Sum of opposite angles = 180°. Explanation: ∠BDA = ∠BCA = 40°
6. Option (D) is correct. (Angles in the same segment)
Explanation: Now, since AD || BC,
∠DBC = ∠BDA
1 1 1 3 8 3 8
    (Alternate interior angles)
9 8 3 8 3 8 3 8 98
∴ ∠DBC = 40°
 3 24  3 2 2 14. Option (D) is correct.
7. Option (B) is correct. Explanation: ∠COF = 2x
3 (vertically opposite angles)
Explanation: Degree of x + 5 = 3
\ 3x + 2x + 5x = 180° (straight line angle)
Degree of 4 – x5 = 5
or, 10x = 180° Þ x =18°
Now, (x3 + 5)(4 – x5) = 4x3 – x8 + 20 – 5x5
= –x8 – 5x5 + 4x3 + 20 15. Option (A) is correct.
Degree of (x + 5)(4 – x5) = 8

Now take x = –1 Area = s( s − a )( s − b )( s − c )
then, p(–1) = (–1)3 + (–1)2 – (–1) – 1 = 22.5( 22.5 − 15)( 22.5 − 15)( 22.5 − 15)
= –1 + 1 + 1 – 1 = 22.5 × 7.5 × 7.5 × 7.5

= 225 3 sq. cm.
Hence, value of x = 1, –1. [1]
Thus, area of tile = 225 3 sq. cm. [2]

x = – 3, y = 9 MX is normal and OM is incident ray.
∴ ∠AMX = 90°
y = 3 ( y > 0)
(Q Incident ray makes a right angle with normal)
Now, P(y, x) = (3, –3), it lies in IV quadrant [1]
OM is bisector
S(2x, –3y) = [2 × (–3), (–3 × 3)]
∴ ∠a = 45° ...(i) [1]

34. Let f = m(n – p2) + n(p2 – m2) + p(m2 – n2)
2
Answering Tip \
f(m = n) = n(n2 – p2) + n(p2 – n2) + p(n2 – n2)

= n(n2 – p2) – n(n2 – p2) + 0
Double check the steps while working with

rational numbers.
So, m – n is a factor of f.

Similarly, f(n = p) = 0 & f(p = m)= 0

33. Given, OP = OR = 10 cm (Radii of same circle)

RS = 12 cm
Draw OL ⊥ PQ and OM ⊥ RS [1] 35. BC = AC (Given)
Since, perpendicular from the centre to the chord ∴ ∠CBA = ∠BAC = a°
bisects the chord. (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal). [1]
1 So, ∠BAD = a° + x° ...(i) [1]
\ PL = LQ = PQ = 8 cm
2 In ∆ ABD,
1 ∠ABC + ∠ADB + ∠BAD = 180°
RM = MS = RS = 6 cm
2 ∴ a° +x° +(a° +x°) = 180° [1]

In right triangle OLP, Now,
OP2 = OL2 + PL2 2a° + 2x° = 180°
2(a° + x°) = 180°
(By Pythagoras theorem)
a° + x° = 90° [1]

100 = OL + 64 ∴ ∠BAD = 90° [from (i)] [1]
OL = 100 − 64 = 36 [1]

y = 200 – 76 Budget in the year 2009 – 10 = 9160 million
y = ` 124 [1] Difference = 9160 – 9060
OR = 100 million [1]
If x = y, then x + x = 200 [1]

x = 100 [1] = 10 m [1]
Thus, each contributed ` 100.
(ii) Since, semi perimeter, s = 10 m
(iii) Since x = –5
⇒ x + 5 = 0 [½] \ Area = s( s − a )( s − b )( s − c ) [2]
