Ans. The given AP is 24,21,18……

Let there are n terms to make the sum 78.

Now, we have S_n= 78, a = 24, d = 21 – 24 = -3

n(48 -3n+ 3) = 156

48n -3n² +3n = 156

-3n² + 51n – 156 = 0

3n² – 51 n + 156 = 0

n² – 17 n + 52 = 0

n² – 13 n -4n + 52 = 0

n(n -13) – 4(n -13) =0

(n -13)(n -4) = 0

n = 13, 4

Therefore, either the sum of the first 13 terms or the sum of the first 4 terms of the series is 78

Q27.In figure two tangents  TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external point P. Prove that ∠PTQ = 2∠QPQ.

Ans.

Ans.

GIVEN: TP and TQ are the tangents drawn from T to the circle.

TO PROVE: ∠PTQ = 2∠QPQ

PROOF: PO is the radius of the circle

TP = TQ (tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal)

∠TPQ = ∠TQP (angles opposite to equal sides in a Δ)

∠OPT = 90° (angle between radius and tangent)

∠TPQ =  90°- ∠QPQ

According to the angle sum property of the Δ

∠PTQ + ∠TPQ + ∠TQP = 180°

∠PTQ + ∠TPQ + ∠TPQ = 180°

∠PTQ + 2∠TPQ = 180°

∠PTQ +2(90°- ∠QPQ) = 180°

∠PTQ + 180° – 2∠QPQ = 180°

∠PTQ = 2∠QPQ,Hence proved

Q28. Sunita has some notes of Rs.50 and Rs.100 amounting to a total of Rs.15,500. If the total number of notes is 200, then Find how many notes of Rs.50 and Rs.100 each she has?

Ans. Let the number of Rs.50 notes are x and the number of Rs.100 note are y

According to first condition of the question

50x + 100y = 15,500

x + 2y = 310…..(i)

According to second condition of the question

x + y = 200……(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i)

y = 110

Putting the value of y = 110 in equation (ii)

x +110 = 200

x = 200 – 110 = 90

Hence she has 90 notes of Rs 50 and 11o notes of Rs 100

Q29. Prove that √2 is an irrational number.

Ans. Let √2 is a rational number

√2 = a/b (where a and b are co-prime numbers)

b√2 = a

2b² = a²…….(i)

We get from equation (i) that a² is divisible by 2

∴ a will also be divisible by 2

Now, we can write a = 2c (where c is another positive integer)

Putting a = 2c in equation number (i)

2b² = (2c)²= 4c²

b² = 2c²……(ii)

From (ii) it is clear that b² is divisible by 2

Then b will also be divisible by 2

It is evident from equations (i) and (ii) that 2 is a common factor between a and b, so a and b can’t be co-prime. Hence our assumption for √2 as a rational number is wrong, obviously, √2 is an irrational number.

Ans. Let  the original speed of the train is = x  km/h

The distance traveled by train = 360 km

Time taken by the train with original speed = distance/time=360/x

If the train’s speed changed by the increase of 5 km/h, then it’s speed becomes =(x + 5) km/h.

Time taken by train with modified speed = 360/(x+5) h

48 minutes = 48/60 = 4/5 =0.8 h

According to question

360/x – 360/(x+5) = 0.8

360[1/x – 1/(x +5)] = 0.8

360[(x+5-x)/(x+5)x] =0.8

1800 = 0.8x(x+5)

0.8x² + 4x – 1800 = 0

0.2x² +x – 450 = 0

2x² +10x -4500 = 0

Applying the quadratic equation

x = (-10 +190)/4 = 180/4 = 45 or x = (-10 -190)/4 = -200/4 = -50

Since speed of the train can’t be negative,so the original speed of the train is 45 km/h.

Q34. A statue which is x m tall stands on the top of a 100 m pedestal on the ground. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of the statue is 60° and from the same point, the angle of elevation of the top of the pedestal is 45°. Find the height of the statue.

Ans.

In the figure, BD is the pedestal of height 100 m and DA is the statute of the height x

 

We are given the angle of elevation of the top of the statue from a point C on the ground =60°

The angle of elevation of the top of the pedestal from the same point C =45°

tan 45° = BD/BC = 100/BC

1 = 100/BC⇒ BC = 100 m

tan 60°=AB/BC = (100 +x)/100

(100 +x)/100 = √3

100 +x = 100√3

x = 100√3 – 100 = 100(√3 – 1)

Hence, height of the statue is 100(√3 – 1) m

Q35.Find the number of terms in an AP 18,15,12……. -48 and also find the sum of all of its terms.

Ans.  Let there are n terms in the AP, the given AP is 18,15,12……. -48

The n^th term of AP is given by

a_n= a + (n-1)d, where a = 18, d = 15 -18 = -3 and a_n  = -48

18+(n-1)(-3) = -48

-3n +3 = -48 -18 = -66

-3n = -69

n = 23

Applying the following formula for getting the sum of n terms of an AP

Putting the value of n =23,a = 18, d = 15 -18 = -3

 

= 23×18 -23×66

= 414 – 1518 = -1104

Hence,sum of all terms of the given AP is -1104

Q36. Find the missing frequencies f₁  and f₂ if the mean of all observations given below is 38.2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ans. We are given the mean of all observations is 38.2

Arranging the table for evaluating mean of the given data

Class Interval	Frequency(f)	Class mark(x)	fx
0 – 10	4	5	20
10 – 20	4	15	60
20 -30	f1	25	25 f1
30 -40	10	35	350
40 -50	f2	45	45 f2
50 -60	8	55	440
60 -70	5	65	325
	N=50	∑fx	=1195+25 f1 +45 f2

We have

f₁+ f₂+31 = 50⇒f₁+ f₂= 19……(i)

Applying the direct method for getting the mean

25 f₁+45 f₂ =  1910- 1195

25 f₁+45 f₂= 715……(ii)

Substituting  f₁ =( 19- f₂  ) equation (i) in equation (ii)

25 ( 19- f₂  )+45 f₂= 715

475 – 25f₂  + 45 f₂= 715

20 f₂= 715 – 475 = 340

 f₂= 17

Putting the value of f₂= 17 in equation ( i)

f₁= 19-17 = 2

Hence the value of f₁ is 2 and of f₂ is 17
