9.1 CIRCLE

A circle is the locus of a points which moves in a plane in such a way that its distance from a fixed point

remains constant.

9.2 SECANT AND TANGENT :

 Secant to a circle is a line which intersects the circle in two distinct points.
 A tangent to a circle is a line that intersects the circle in exactly one point.

9.3 THEOREM :
Statement : A tangent to a circle i perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

Given : A circle C (O, r) and a tangent AB at a point P.

To prove : OP  AB

Construction : Take any points Q, other than P on the tangent AB. Join OQ. Suppose OQ meets the circle at R.

Proof: Among all line segments joining the point O to a point on AB, the shorted one is perpendicular to

AB. So, to prove that OP  AB, it is sufficient to prove that OP is shorter than any other segment

joining O to any point of AB.

Clearly OP = OR

Now, OQ OR + RQ

 OQ > OR

 OQ > OP ( OP = OR)

Thus, OP is shorter than any other segment joining O to any point of AB.
Hence, OP  AB.

9.4 THEORM :

Statement : Lengths of two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

Given: AP and AQ are two tangents drawn from a point A to a circle C (O, r).

To prove : AP = AQ

Construction : Join OP, OQ and OA.

Proof : In  AOQ and  APO

OQA  OPA [Tangent at any point of a circle is perp. to radius through the point of contact]

AO = AO [Common]

OQ = OP [Radius]

So, by R.H.S. criterion of congruency AOQ  AOP

 AQ = AP [By CPCT] Hence Proved.

Ex. 1 If all the sides of a parallelogram touches a circle, show that the parallelogram is a rhombus.
gm
Sol. Given : Sides AB, BC, CD and DA of a ABCD touch a circle at P,Q,R and S respectively.
gm
To prove ABCD is a rhombus.
Proof : AP = AS .......(i)

BP = BQ .......(ii)

CR = CQ .......(iii)

DR = DS ........(iv)
[Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal]
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
gm
 AB + AB = AD + AD [In a ABCD, opposite side are equal]
 2AB = 2AD or AB = AD
But AB = CD AND AD = BC [Opposite sides of a gem]

Page 2
  AB = BC = CD = DA

gm
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
Ex.2 A circle touches the BC of a  ABC at P and touches AB and AC when produced at Q and R respectively

So. Given : A circle is touching side BC of  ABC at P and touching AB and AC when produced at Q and R
respectively.

To prove : AQ  (perimeter of  ABC)
2
Proof : AQ = AR .......(i)
BQ = BP .......(ii)
CP = CR ........(iii)
[Tangents drawn from and external point to a circle are equal]
Now, perimeter of  ABC = AB + BC + CA
= AB + BP + PC + CA
= (AB + BQ) + (CR + CA) [From (ii) and (iii)]
= AQ + AR = AQ + AQ [From (i)]

AQ  (perimeter of  ABC).

Ex.3 Prove that the tangents at the extremities of any chord make equal angles with the chord.
Sol. Let AB be a chord of a circle with centre O, and let AP and BP be the tangents at A and B respectively.
Suppose, the tangents meet at point P. Join OP. Suppose OP meets AB at C.

We have to prove that

PAC  PBC

In triangles PCA and PCB

PA = PB [  Tangent from an external point are equal]

APC  BPC [  PA and PB are equally inclined to OP]

And PC = PC [Common]

So, by SAS criteria of congruence

Page 3
 PAC  BPC

 PAC  PBC [By CPCT]

Ex.4 Prove that the segment joining the points of contact of two parallel tangents passes through the centre.
Sol. Let PAQ and RBS be two parallel tangents to a circle with centre O. Join OA and OB. Draw OC PQ Now,
PA CO

 PAO  COA  1800 [Sum of co-interior angle is 1800]

 900  COA  1800 [ PAO  90]

 COA  900

Similarly, CON  900

 COA  COB  900  900  1800

Hence, AOB is a straight line passing through O.

Ex.4 In  ABC, right angled at B. AC + AB = 9 cm. Determine the value of cot C, cosec C, sec C.

Sol. In  ABC, we have

(AC)2 = (AB)2 + BC2
 (9 - AB)2 = AB2 + (3)2 [  AC + AB = 9cm  AC = 9 - AB]
 (81 + AB2 - 18AB = AB2 + 9
 72 - 18 AB = 0
72
 AB =  4 cm.

Now, AC + AB = 9 cm
AC = 9 - 4 = 5 cm

12.1 ANGLE OF ELEVATION :

In order to see an object which is at a higher level

compared to the ground level we are to look up.
The line joining the object and the eye of the
observer is known as the line sight and the angle
which this line of sight makes with the horizontal
drawn through the eye of the observer is known as
the angle of elevation. Therefore, the angle of
elevation of an object helps in finding out its height
(figure)

12.2 ANGLE OF DEPRESSION :

When the object is at a lower level tan the

observer’s eyes, he has to look downwards to
have a view of the object. It that case, the angle
which the line of sight makes with the horizontal
thought the observer’s eye is known as the angle
of depression (Figure).

ILLUSTRACTIONS :

Ex.12 A well of diameter 2 m is dug 14 m deep. The earth taken out of its is spread evenly all around it to a width
of 5 m to from an embankment. Find the height of the embankment.

Sol. Let n be the required height of the embankment.

The shape of the embankment will be like the shape of a cylinder of internal radius 1 m and external radius
(5 + 1) m = 6 m [figure].
The volume of the embankment will be equal to the volume of the earth dug out from the well. Now, the
volume of the earth = volume of the cylindrical well
2 3
=   1  14 m
= 14  m3
Also, the volume of the embankment
=  (62 - 12) h cm3 = 35  h m3
Hence, we have
35  h = 14 

 h   0.4

Hence, the required height of the embankment = 0.4 m

Ex.13 Water in a canal, 30 dm wide and 12 dm deep, is flowing with a speed of 10 km/hr. How much area will it

14.1 INTRODUCTION :
The branch of science known as statistics has been used in India from ancient times. Statistics deals with
collection of numerical facts. i.e., data, their classification & tabulation and their interpretation.

14.2 MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDANCY :

The commonly used measure of central tendency (or averages) are :

(i) Arithmetic Mean (AM) or Simply Mean

(ii) Median
(jjj) Mode

14.3 ARITHMETIC MEAN :

Arithmetic mean of a set of observations is equal to their sum divided by the total number of observations.

Mean of raw data : x1, x2, x3, ....., xn are the n values (or observations) the,

A.M. (Arithmetic mean) is

x  x  .....  xn
x i
x 1 1  i 1
n n

x
i1
i
nx - Sum of observations =
n
i.e. product of mean & no. of items gives sum of observation.

Ex.1 The mean of marks scored by 100 students was found to be 40. Later on its was discovered that a score of

56 was misread as 83. Find the correct mean.

n
(i) Sum of deviations from mean is zero. i.e.  (x  x)  0
i 1
i

(ii) If a constant real number ‘a’ is added to each of the observation than new mean will be x  a.

(iii) If a constant real number ‘a’ is subtracted from each of the observation then new mean will be x  a.

(iv) If constant real number ‘a’ is multiplied with each of the observation then new mean will be ax.
x
(v) If each of the observation is divided by a constant no ‘a’, then new mean will be .

14.5 MERITS OF ARITHETIC MEAN :

(i) It is rigidly defined, simple, easy to understand and easy to calculate.

(ii) It is based upon all the observations.

(iii) Its value being unique, we can use it to compare different sets of data.

(iv) It is least affected by sampling fluctuations.

(v) Mathematical analysis of mean is possible. So, It is relatively reliable.

14.6 DEMERITS OF ARITHMETCI MEAN :

(i) It can not be determined by inspection nor it can be located graphically.

(ii) Arithmetic mean cannot be used for qualities characteristics such as intelligence, honesty, beauty etc.

(iii) It cannot be obtained if a single observation is missing.

(iv) It is affected very much by extreme values. In case of extreme items, A.M. gives a distorted picture of
the distribution and no longer remains representative of the distribution.

(v) It may lead to wrong conclusions if the details of the data from which it is computed are not given.

(vi) It can not be calculated if the extreme class is open, e.g. below 10 or above 90.

(vii) It cannot be used in the study of rations, rates etc.

14.7 USES OF ARITHMETIC MEAN :

(i) It is used for calculating average marks obtained by a student.

(ii) It is extensively used in practical statistics and to obtain estimates.

(iii) It is used by businessman to find out profit per unit article, output per machine, average monthly income
and expenditure etc.

14.8 MEDIAN :

Median is the middle value of the distribution. It is the value of variable such that the number of

Let the frequency of the class 30 - 40 be f 1 and that of the class 50 - 60 be f 2. The total frequency is 229
12 + 30 + f1 + 65 + f2 + 25 + 18 = 229
 f 1 + f 2 = 79

It is given that median is 46., clearly, 46 lies in the class 40 - 50. So, 40 - 50 is the median class

 f 1 = 45

Hence, f 1 = 34 and f2 = 45.

Merits of Median :

(i) It is rigidly defined, easily, understood and calculate.

(ii) It is not all affected by extreme values.

(iii) It can be located graphically, even if the class - intervals are unequal.

Page 79
(iv) It can be determined even by inspection is some cases.

Page 80
 Demerits of Median :

(i) In case of even numbers of observations median cannot be determined exactly.

(ii) It is not based on all the observations.

(iii) It is not subject to algebraic treatment.

(iv) It is much affected by fluctuations of sampling.

Uses of Median :

(i) Median is the only average to be used while dealing with qualitative data which cannot be measured
quantitatively but can be arranged in ascending or descending order of magnitude.

(ii) It is used for determining the typical value in problems concerning wages, distribution of wealth etc.

14.9 MODE:

Mode or modal value of the distribution is that value of variable for which the frequency is maximum.

Mode of ungrouped data : - (By inspection only)

Arrange the data in an array and then count the frequencies of each variate.

The variate having maximum frequency is the mode.

Mode of continuous frequency distribution

f1  f0
Mode =   h
2f1  f0  f2

Where  = lower limit of the modal class

f 1 = frequency of the class i.e. the largest frequency.
f 0 = frequency of the class preceding the modal class.
f 2 = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.
h = width of the modal class

Ex.12. Fin the mode of the following data :

25, 16, 19, 48, 19, 20, 34, 15, 19, 20, 21, 24, 19, 16, 22, 16, 18, 20, 16, 19.

made garments, shoes etc.

Relation between Mode, Median & Mean : Mode = 3 median - 2 mean.

14.10 CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY CURVE OR OGIVE :

15.1 EXPERIMENT :
The word experiment means an operation, which can produce well defined outcomes. The are two types of
experiment :
(i) Deterministic experiment (ii) Probabilistic or Random experiment

(i) Deterministic Experiment : Those experiment which when repeated under identical conditions,
produced the same results or outcome are known as deterministic experiment. For example, Physics or
Chemistry experiments performed under identical conditions.

(ii) Probabilistic or Random Experiment :- In an experiment, when repeated under identical conditions
donot produce the same outcomes every time. For example, in tossing a coin, one is not sure that if a head
or tail will be obtained. So it is a random experiment.

Sample space : The set of all possible out comes of a random experiment is called a sample space
associated with it and is generally denoted by S. For example, When a dice is tossed then
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Even : A subset of sample space associated with a random experiment is called an event. For example, In
tossing a dive getting an even no is an event.

Favorable Event : Let S be a sample space associated with a random experiment and A be event
associated with the random experiment. The elementary events belonging to A are know as favorable
events to the event A. For example, in throwing a pair of dive, A is defined by “Getting 8 as the sum”. Then
following elementary events are as out comes : (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4) (5, 3) (6, 2). So, there are 5 elementary
events favorable to event A.

15.2 PROBABILITY :

If there are n elementary events associated with a random experiment and m of them are favorable to an
event A, then the probability of happening or occurrence of event A is denoted by P(A)

Total number of favourable outcomes m

Thus, P(A) = 
Total number of possible outcomes n
And 0  P( A )  1
If, P(A) = 0, then A is called impossible event

If, P(A) = 1, then A is called sure event

P(A) + P ( A ) = 1

Where P(A) = probability of occurrence of A.

P ( A ) = probability of non - occurrence of A.

Ex.1 A box contains 5 red balls, 4 green balls and 7 white balls. A ball is drawn at random from the box. Find the
probability that the ball drawn is

(i) white (ii) neither red nor white

Sol. Total number of balls in the bag = 5 + 4 + 7 = 16

 Total number of elementary events =16
(i) There are 7 white balls in the bag.
 Favorable number of elementary events = 7

Total No. favourable elementary events 7

Hence, P (Getting a white ball ) = 
Total No. of elementary events 16

at random from the remaining pack. Find the probability of getting [CBSE - 2007]

(i) black face card (ii) a queen (iii) a black card.

Sol. After removing three face cards of spades (king, queen, jack) from a deck of 52 playing cards, there are 49
cards left in the pack. Out of these 49 cards one card can be chosen in 49 ways.
 Total number of elementary events = 49
(i) There are 6 black face cards out of which 3 face cards of spades are already removed. So, out of
remaining 3 black face cards one black face card ban be chosen in 3 ways.
 Favorable number of elementary events = 3
3
Hence, P (Getting a black face card ) =
49
(ii) There are 3 queens in the remaining 49 cards. So, out of these three queens, on queen can be
chosen in 3 ways
 Favorable number of elementary events = 3
3
Hence P (Getting a queen) =
49
(iii) There are 23 black cards in the remaining 49 cards, So, out to these 23 black card, one black card
can be chosen in 23 ways
 Favorable number of elementary events = 23

Hence, P (Getting a black card) =
49
Ex.3 A die is thrown, Find the probability of

(i) prime number (ii) multiple of 2 or 3 (iii) a number greater than 3

Sol. In a single throw of die any one of six numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 can be obtained. Therefore, the tome number of
elementary events associated with the random experiment of throwing a die is 6.
(i) Let A denote the event “Getting a prime no”. Clearly, event A occurs if any one of 2,3,5 comes as out
come.

 Favorable number of elementary events = 3

Page 93
 3 1
Hence, P (Getting a prime no.) = 
6 2
(ii) An multiple of 2 or 3 is obtained if we obtain one of the numbers 2,3,4,6 as out comes
 Favorable number of elementary events = 4
4 2
Hence, P (Getting multiple of 2 or 3) = 
6 3

(iii) The event “Getting a number greater than 3” will occur, if we obtain one of number 4,5,6 as an out
come.
 Favorable number of out comes = 3
3 1
Hence, required probability = 

Ex.4 Two unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of getting
(i) two heads (ii) at least one head (iii) at most one head.

Sol. If two unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously, we obtain any one of the following as an out come :
HH, HT, TH, TT
 Total number of elementary events = 4
(i) Two heads are obtained if elementary event HH occurs.
 Favorable number of events = 1
1
Hence, P (Two heads) =
4

(ii) At least one head is obtained if any one of the following elementary events happen :
HH, HT, TH
 favorable number of events = 3
3
Hence P (At least one head) =
4

(iii) If one of the elementary events HT, TH, TT occurs, than at most one head is obtained
 favorable number of events = 3
3

Ex.5 A box contains 20 balls bearing numbers, 1,2,3,4…...20. A ball is drawn at random from the box. What is
the probability that the number of the ball is
(i) an odd number (ii) divisible by 2 or 3 (iii) prime number

Sol. Here, total numbers are 20.

 Total number of elementary events = 20
(i) The number selected will be odd number, if it is elected from 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19
 Favorable number of elementary events = 10
