where, BFDE is square.

\
BF = 12 = DF
So, perimeter of parallelogram
= 2(20 + 28) = 96 cm.
2. For sides of triangle, we must have
...(i)
x + (11 - x ) > x - 4 x < 15
...(ii)
x + x - 4 > 11 - x x > 5
...(iii)
11 - x + x - 4 > x x < 7
From (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
5< x <7.

7. In any triangle ABC, the sum of any two sides is
greater than the third side.

AB + BC > AC

...(i)
6 + 8 > AC AC < 14
and B > 90 AC 2 > AB 2 + BC 2

AC 2 > 62 + 82

AC 2 > 102

...(ii)
AC > 10
From (i) and (ii), we get

ab (c + 1) + a (c + 1) + b (c + 1) + c = 1000
On adding 1 on both sides,
(c + 1)(ab + a + b) + (c + 1) = 1001

(c + 1)(ab + a + b + 1) = 1001

(c + 1)(a + 1)(b + 1) = 7 11 13

Without loss of generality assume that,

c + 1 = 7 , a + 1 = 11, b + 1 = 13

c = 6, a = 10, b = 12

a + b + c = 28 .

For x = 2, Eq. (i) becomes

f (2) + 2 f (1001) = 6
For x = 1001, Eq. (i) becomes
...(iii)
f (1001) + 2 f (2) = 3003
On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get
- 3 f (2) = - 6000 f (2) = 2000 .
14. f ( x , y ) = x 2 + 13y 2 - 6 xy - 4 y - 2

15. The points in question are the points of
intersection of the original circle C and the circle
of radius 3 cm around P. Two distinct circles
intersect in at most 2 points.
16. Draw in lines BF, BE and BD. There are now 4
equilateral triangles with side length 1.
(For instance, DFAB is equilateral because
AF = AB = 1 and A = 60.)

Thus, the total area = 4
= 3.

17. Since, f ( x ) is a polynomial and f ( x 2 + 1) has
degree 4, then f ( x ) has degree 2.
That is,
f ( x ) = ax 2 + bx + c
for some constants a, b, c and
f ( x 2 + 1) = x 4 + 5x 2 + 3
= a ( x 2 + 1)2 + b ( x 2 + 1) + c

93

= ax 4 + (2a + b)x 2 + (a + b + c).

Since, two polynomials are equal if and only if
the coefficients of corresponding terms are
equal, we have
a = 1, 2a + b = 5 and a + b + c = 3.
Solving these gives
f ( x ) = x 2 + 3x - 1
2
Thus, f ( x - 1) = ( x 2 - 1)2 + 3( x 2 - 1) - 1
= x 4 + x 2 - 3.
18. The unit digit of each term successively
1, 9, 1, 9, 1, 9, ....
The unit digit of sum of 1st two terms is 0.
The unit digit of sum of 1st three terms is 1.
The unit digit of sum of 1st four terms is 0.
The unit digit of sum of 1st five terms is 1.
So, the unit digit of the sum of 2011 terms is 1.
19. 2005 = f (2) = f (2 1) = f (2 + 1)
= f (3) = f (3 1) = f (3 + 1)
= f (4) = f (4 1) = f (4 + 1)
= f (5) = f (5 1) = f (5 + 1)
f (6) = . . . . . . . . = (22010 ).
So, f (22010 ) = 2005.
