Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of an A.P. having n terms.
We know that nth term formula as, an=a+(n−1)d
As per the question,
a4=a+3d=0
a+3d=0

Given that the sum of p terms of an AP is at2+bt

Now, put t=1,2, 3,..
Sp=at2+bt
⇒ S1=a (1)2+b (1)
∴ S1=a+b ............................................................................. 0.5m
⇒ S2=a (2)2+b (2)
∴ S2=4a+2b
∴ a1=S1=a+b
∴ a2=S2−S1=4a+2b−(a+b)
=4a+2b−a−b
=3a+b.................................................. 0.5m
∴ Common difference =d
⇒ d=a2−a1
⇒ d=3a+b−(a+ b)

Let height of the cone 1 be 'h' cm and the height of the cone 2 be (21 cm - h) .
Volume of cone 1/Volume of cone 1 = 2/1
⇒ {1/3πr²h}/{1/3πr²(21 cm - h)} = 2/1
⇒ 42 cm - 2h = h
⇒ 3h = 42 cm
⇒ h = 42/3
⇒ h = 14 cm ....................................................................................................... 0.5m
Height of the 1 st cone is 14 cm and the height of the 2nd cone is 21 - 14 = 7 cm.

Let the Height of light-house be represented by AB = 100 m

Let the speed be x m per minute and CD be the distance travelled to change from 60˚ to 30˚

Since time taken is 2 minutes and speed are x m/min

cylinder. the base of the shed is of dimensions 7 m multiply 15 m and the height of the cuboid
portion is 8m volume of Cuboid = length * breadth * Height

Given: A circle with centre O and two tangents TP and TQ. OP is radius of the circle.
TO prove: ∴ 2∠OPQ=∠PTQ...................... 0.5m
Sol: We know that length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal
∴ TP=TQ−−−(1)
∴ ∠TQP=∠TPQ (angles of equal sides are equal) −−−(2)
Now, PT is tangent and OP is radius .................. 1m
∴ OP⊥TP (Tangent at any point pf circle is perpendicular to the radius through point of contact)
∴ ∠OPT=90˚
or, ∠OPQ+∠TPQ=90 ˚ ............................ 1m
or, ∠TPQ=90 ˚ −∠OPQ−−−(3)
In △PTQ
∠TPQ+∠PQT+∠QTP=180o (∴ Sum of angles triangle is 180 ˚)
or, 90 ˚ −∠OPQ+∠TPQ+∠QTP=180 ˚
or, 2(90 ˚ −∠OPQ) +∠QTP=180 ˚ [from (2) and (3)]
or, 180 ˚ −2∠OPQ+∠PTQ=180 ˚
∴ 2∠OPQ=∠PTQ−−−− proved ............................................................ 2m

Given: the radii of two concentric circles i.e OD= 13 cm and OB= 8 cm. AB is a diameter of the
bigger circle and BD is a tangent to the smaller circle touching it at D.
To Find: the length of AD ........................ 0.5m

Sol: We know that ∠AEB = 90° [Angle in a semicircle]

OD ⊥ BE ['.' BE is tangent to the smaller circle at D and OD is its radius]
BD = DE ['.. BE is a chord of the circle and OD ⊥ BE]. ..
OD || AE [∠AEB = ∠ODB = 90°] In ΔAEB O and D are mid-points of AB and BE.
Therefore, by mid-Point theorem, we have
 OD = 1 AE

AE= 2 × 8 = 16cm ................................ 2m

In ∆ , we have
OB2= OD2+BD2 (By Pythagoras theorem)

BD= √105
DE= √105 ( BD=DE)
