Since, the given points are collinear, therefore, area of triangle formed by them is zero.
i.e., ar (∆AOB) = 0
⇒ x1(y2 – y3) + x2(y3 – yx) + x3{yx – y2) 1=0
⇒ 1(0 – b) + 0(b – 2) + a(2 – 0) i =0
⇒ – b + 2a = 0
⇒ b = 2a.
Answer 8.
Given, Sania takes 24 minutes for one round and Ravi takes 16 minutes for one round. It means that Ravi takes lesser time than Sonia to drive one round of field.
Now,
Required time = L.C.M. of the time taken by Sonia and Ravi for completing one round
= L.C.M. of 24 and 16
∵ 24 = 23 x 3 and 16 = 24
∴ L.C.M. = 24 x 3 = 16 x 3 = 48
Hence, Ravi and Sonia will meet each other at the starting point after, 48 minutes.

x² – 2x + k = 0
Here a = 1, b = -2, c = k
We know, D = b2 – 4ac
⇒ D = (-2)2 – 4 × 1 × k
⇒ D = 4 – 4k
For real roots,
D =0
⇒ 4 – 4 k =0
⇒ – 4k = – 4
⇒ k =
⇒ k = 1
Answer 12.
Given A.P. is, 4, 9, 14, 19, 24
Here, a = 4
d = 9 – 4=5
We know
an = a + (n – 1) d
a30 = 4 + (30 – 1) 5
⇒ a30 = 4 + 29 x 5
⇒ a30 = 4 + 145
⇒ a30 = 149
And an = a + (10 – 1) d = 4 + (30 -1 )5
= 4 + (9 x 5) = 4 + 45
⇒ a30 = 49
∴ a30 – a10 = 149 – 49
= 100

AP =AQ
⇒ AP2 = AQ2
Let (x1, y1) = (2, – 4)
(x2, y2) = (3, 8)
(x3, y3) = (-10, y)
Then,
(x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2 = (x3 – x1 )2 + (y3 – x1)2
(3 – 2)2 + (8 + 4)2 = (-10 – 2)2 + (y + 4)2
(1)2 + (12)2 = (12)2 + (y + 4)2
1 + 144 = 144 + (y + 4)2
1 = (y + 4)2
±1 = y+4

Answer 15.
Given : A circle with centre at O. AB and CD are tangents drawn at the end of diameter.
To prove : AB || CD
Proof : We know that a tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius throught the point of contact.
∴ OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD
⇒ ∠OMB = 90°
∠OMB = 90°
∠OND = 90°
∠ONC = 90°
∠OMA = ∠OND
∠OMB = ∠ONC
These are the pair of alternate interior angles.
Since, alternate angles are equal, the line AB and CD are parallel to each other.
i.e, AB || CD

Answer 17.
Given, Diameter of front wheel = 80 cm
∴ Radius, r = = 40 cm
and Diameter of rear wheel = 2 m
∴ Radius, R = = 1 m = 100 cm
Number of revolutions covered by front wheel = 140.
Let the number of revolutions covered by rear wheel be n.
According to the question,
Distance covered by real wheel in n revolutions = Distance covered by front wheel in 140 revolutions
⇒ n x 2πR = 140 x 2πr
n × R = 140 x r
n x 100 = 140 x 40
n = = 56
Thus, the number of revolutions covered by rear wheel is 56.
OR
Given : Radius, OA = 3.5 cm
and OD = 2 cm
Area of shaded region = Area of quadrant OACB – Area of ∆DOB
Hence, area of shaded region is 6-125 cm2.
Answer 18.
Given : Length of cuboid, l = 6 m
Breadth of cuboid, b = 11 m
Height of cuboid, h = 5 m
Radius of cylinder, r = m = m
Let height of water level in the cylindrical tank be H m
Since, water in rectangular tank is transferred to cylindrical tank.
∴ Volume of cuboid = Volume of cylinder of height H
l ×b × h =πr²H
6 x 11 x 5 = × H
= H
H = m = 8.57 m.
OR
Given : Diameter of the copper rod = 1 cm
So, Radius (r) of the copper rod = 1/2 cm
Length of copper rod, h = 8 cm
Length of wire, H = 18 m = 18 x 100 cm
Let R be the radius of the cross-section (circular) of the wire.
We know that volume of cylinder = πr²h Now, according to the question
Now, according to the question,
Answer 19.
Let p(x) = x² + 13x + 30
= x² + 10x + 3x + 30
= x(x + 10) + 3(x + 10)
=(x + 3) (x + 10)
⇒ x + 3 = 0; x + 10 = 0
⇒ x = – 3, x = – 10
Let α = – 3
and β = – 10
Now, α + β =
– 3 – 10 =
– 13 = – 13
and αβ =
(-3) (-10) =
30 = 30
Thus, the releationship between the zeroes and coefficients is verified.
Answer 20.
Given : First term of A.P., a = 17
Last term, l = 350
Common difference, d = 9
We know,
an = a + (n – 1) d
∵ 350 is the nth term of given A.P.,
∵ 350 = 17 + (n – 1) 9
350 – 17 = (n – 1) 9
333 = (n – 1) 9
= n – 1
37 = n – 1
37 + 1 =n
38 = n
We know that sum of n terms of A.P is given as,
Sn = [a + l]
⇒ S38 = [17 + 350]
= 19 [367] = 6973
n = 38 and Sn = 6973.
OR
The first number greater than 10 which when divided by 4 leaves a remainder 3 is 11.
So, the next number will be 11 + 4 = 15
The other numbers will be 15 + 4 = 19, 19 + 4 = 23….
Thus, A.P. = 11, 15, 19, 23 …..
The last term of this A.P. will be 299.
We have to find n. i.e., number of terms in the A.P.
We know,
a + (n – 1 )d = an
⇒ 11 + (n – 1)4 =299
⇒ 11 + 4n – 4 = 299
⇒ 7 + 4n =299
⇒ 4n = 299 – 7
⇒ 4n = 292
⇒ n =
⇒ n = 73
∴ numbers lie between 10 and 300 which divided by 4 leaves a remainder 3.

Answer 24.
Let CD be the tower of height y m.
Let BD = x.
In ∆CAD, we have
tan 30° =
=
20 + x = y√3
x = y√3 – 20
In ∆CBD, we have
tan 60°=
√3 =
⇒ x√3 = y
Putting the value of y in equation (i), we get
x = (x√3) (√3) – 20
x = 3x – 20
20 = 3x – x
20 = 2x
= x
10 = x
Putting the value of x in equation (ii), we get
10√3 = y
⇒ y = 10 × 1.732 = 1.732
Hence, distamce of the foot of tower from point A
= 20 + x = 20 + 10 = 30 m
and Height of tower = 17.32 m
OR
Let A and B be the two positions of the ship. Let d be the distance travelled by ship during the period of observation i.e. AB = d metres.
Period of observation i.e. AB = d meters.
Let the observer be at O, the top of the light house PO.
It is given that PO = 100 m and the angles of depression from O of A and B are 30° and 45° respectively.
∴ ∠OAP = 30° and ∠OBP = 45°
In ∆OPA, we have
tan 45° =
⇒ 1 =
⇒ BP = 100 m
In ΔOPA, we have
⇒ tan 30° =
⇒ =
⇒ d + BP = 100√3
⇒d + 100 = 100√3 [∵ BP = 100 m]
⇒ d = 100√3 – 100
⇒ d = 100(√3 – 1)
= 100(1.732 – 1) = 73.2 m
Hence, the distance travelled by the ship from A to B is 73.2 m
Answer 25.
Given : ∆ABC in which P is the mid-point of BC, Q is the mid-point of AP, such that BQ produced meets AC at R.
To prove : RA = CA.
Construction : Draw PS || BR, meeting AC at S.
Proof : In ∆BCR, P is the mid-point of BC and PS || BR.
∴ By basic proportionality theorem, S is the mid-point of CR.
⇒ CS = SR
Similarly, in ∆APS, Q is the mid-point of AP and QR || PS.
∴ R is the mid-point of AS.
⇒ AR=RS
From equations (i) and (ii), we get
AR =RS = SC .
⇒ AC =AR +RS +SC = 3 AR
AR = AC = CA
Answer 26.
Given :
Radii of upper end of frustum, R = 20 cm
Radii of lower end of frustum, r = 8 cm
Height of frustum, h = 16 cm
We know that
1 cm3 = 0.001 litre
⇒ Volume of container = 10.46 litre
Cost of 1 litre milk = ₹ 22
⇒ Total cost = 22 × 10.46 = ₹ 230.12
OR
Let r cm be the radius and h cm be height of the cone .
Then r = 0.7 cm and h = 2.4 cm
let r1 cm be the radius, l cm be the slant height and h1 cm be the height of the cone.
Then r1 = 0.7 cm and h1 = 2.4 cm
Now, total surface area of the remaining solid
= C.S.A. of cylinder + C.S.A. of cone + Area of base of the cylinder
= 2πrh + πr1l + πr2
= 2πrh + πr1 + πr2 [∵ r = r1]
= [ 2 × × 0.7 × 2.4 + × 0.7 × 2.5 + × 0.7 × 0.7 ] cm2
= ( 10.56 + 5.5 + 1.54 )cm2 = 17.6 cm2
Answer 27.
Let Length of rectangle = x
and Breadth of rectangle = y
∴ Area of rectangle = xy
According to question,
(x + 2)(y – 2) = xy – 28
and (x – 1) (y + 2) = xy + 33
From equation (i), we have
xy – 2x + 2y – 4 = xy – 28
– 2x + 2y = – 28 + 4
– 2x + 2y = – 24
2x – 2y = 24
x – y =12
x =12 + y
From equation (ii), we have
(x -1) (y + 2) = xy + 33
xy + 2x – y – 2 = xy + 33
2x – y =33 + 2
2x – y =35
Putting the value of x from equation (iii) to equation (iv)
2(12 + y) – y =35
24 + 2y – y =35
24 + y = 35
y = 35 – 24 =11
Putting the value y in equation (i), we get
x = 12 + 11 = 23
Hence, Length of rectangle = 19 m
Breadth of rectangle = 11 m
OR
Let the total number of swans be x2.
Then, number of swans playing at the pond shore
=
Number of swans playing in water = 2
Total number of swans = No. of swans playing on the shore + No.of swans playing in water
⇒ x² = x + 2
⇒ 2x² = 7x + 4
⇒ 2x² – 7x – 4 = 0
⇒ 2x² – 8x + x – 4 = 0
⇒ 2x(x – 4) + (x – 4) = 0
⇒ (2x + 1) + (x – 4) = 0
⇒2x + 1 = 0 or x – 4 = 0
⇒ x = or x = 4
But x = is not feasible. Thus, x = 4
Hence, number of swans = x² = 4² = 16.
Answer 28.
Let A be the middle-most point and 13 flags are fixed at points A1,A2,A3,…. A13, to the left of A and remaining to the right of A.
Distance travelled for fixing and coming back to A for
(i) first flag = (2 + 2)m = 4m = a
(ii) second flag = (4 + 4) m = 8 m = a2
(iii) third flag = (6 + 6) m = 12 m = a3
∴ a1, a2, a3…., form an AP in which
a = 4, a2 = 8, a3 = 12……n = 13
and common difference, d =8 – 4 = 4
S13 = [2 x 4 + (13-1) 4]
= (8 + 48) = × 56 = 364
∴ Distance travelled to fix 13 flags to the left of A = 364 m.
Similarly, the distance travelled to fix remaining 13 flags to right of A = 364 m
∴ Total distance travelled = 2 × 364 m = 728 m.
