Gives a valid reason. For example, as tangents are drawn at A and

E, ∠OAB = ∠OEDOED = 90°. Since these are adjacent interior angles, and are
supplementary, AB||ED. Hence, atleast one pair of opposite sides of AEDB is
parallel

Join OC
In Δ OPA and Δ OCA
OP = OC (radii of same circle) 1
PA = CA (length of two tangents from an external point)
AO = AO (Common)
Therefore, Δ OPA ≅ Δ OCA (By SSS congruency criterion)
Hence, ∠ 1 = ∠ 2 (CPCT) 1
Similarly ∠ 3 = ∠ 4
∠PAB + ∠QBA =180°(co interior angles are supplementary as
XY∥X’Y’) 2∠2 + 2∠4 = 180° ∠2 + ∠4 = 90°-------------------------(1)
∠2 + ∠4 +∠AOB = 180° (Angle sum property)
Using (1), we get, ∠AOB = 90°
OR

Let ABCD be the rhombus
circumscribing the circle with centre
O, such that AB, BC, CD and DA
touch the circle at points P, Q, R
and S respectively. We know that
the tangents drawn to a circle from
an exterior point are equal in length.

∴ AP = AS………….(1)
BP = BQ……………(2)
CR = CQ …………...(3) 1
DR = DS……………(4).
Adding (1), (2), (3) and (4)
we get ,
AP+BP+CR+DR = AS+BQ+CQ+DS
(AP+BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS+DS) + (BQ+CQ)
∴ AB+CD=AD+BC-----------(5)
Since AB=DC and AD=BC (opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
putting in (5)
we get, 2AB=2AD
or AB = AD.
∴ AB=BC=DC=AD 1
Since a parallelogram with equal adjacent sides is a rhombus, so
ABCD is a rhombus
27 Let us assume to the contrary, that is rational. Then we can 3
find a and b ( ) such that (assuming that a and b are co-
co
primes).
a= b a2 = 5b2
Here 5 is a prime number that divides a2 then 5 divides a also
(Using the theorem, if a is a prime number and if a divides p2, then a divides 1
p, where a is a positive integer) Thus 5 is a factor of a
Since 5 is a factor of a, we can write a = 5c (where c is a constant). Substituting
a = 5c We get (5c)2 = 5b2 5c2 = b2
This means 5 divides b2 so 5 divides b also (Using the theorem, if a is a prime 1
number and if a divides p2, then a divides p, where a is a positive integer).
Hence a and b have at least 5 as a common factor.
But this contradicts the fact that a and b are coprime. This is the contradiction to
our assumption that p and q are co co-primes. 1
So, √5 is not a rational number. Therefore, the √5 is irrational.

29 For the given quadratic polynomial F(x) = x² – 8x + K, 3
assume α and β be the zeros of F(x).
As it is mentioned that the sum of the squares of the zeros is (α² + β²) hence (α² 1
+ β²) = 40.
To find the solution, use α + β = 8 and αβ = K.
Further use the identity (α² + β²) = (α + β)² – 2αβ. 1

Substitute the values into the identity: (8)² – 2K = 40. 1

Simplify the equation and solve for K.

Let us first draw the diagram

diagram,
Let P be the required location of the pole. Let the distance of the pole from
the gate B be x m, i.e., BP = x m. Now the difference of the distances of
the pole from the two gates = AP – BP (or, BP – AP) = 7 m. Therefore, AP
= (x + 7) m.
Now, AB = 13m, and since AB is a diameter, APB = 90° 1
2 2 2 2 2
Therefore, AP + PB = AB (By Pythagoras theorem) i.e., (x + 7) + x =
1
132 i.e., x2 + 14x + 49 + x2 = 169 i.e., 2x2 + 14x – 120 = 0 So, the distance
‘x’ of the pole from gate B satisfies the equation x2 + 7x – 60 = 0 So, it
would be possible to place the pole if this equation has real roots. To see 1
if this is so or not, let us consider its discriminant.
The discriminant is b2 – 4ac = 72 – 4 × 1 × (– 60) = 289 > 0. So, the given
quadratic equation has two real roots, and it is possible to erect the pole 1
on the boundary of the park.
Solving the quadratic equation x2 + 7x – 60 = 0, by the quadratic formula, 1
we get Therefore, x = 5 or – 12. Since x is the distance between the pole
and the gate B, it must be positive. Therefore, x = – 12 will have to be
ignored. So, x = 5. Thus, the pole has to be erected on the boundary of
the park at a distance of 5m from the gate B and 12m from the gate A.
