4. (d) ±4 Explanation: ±4 5. (a) -504 n Explanation: Sn = 2 × [2a + (n - 1)d] a = 16, d = -4, and n = 21. Sn = × [2(16) + (21 - 1)(-4)] 21
= 21
2 × [32 + 20× (-4)] = 21
2 × [32 - 80] = 21
2 × (-48) Now, calculate the product: = -21 × 24 = - 504 So, the sum of the first 21 terms of the given A.P. is -504. 6. a+c (d) 2
Explanation: If a, b and c are in A.P., then
b-a=c-b 2b = a + c a+c b= 2
7. (d) 10 Explanation: The distance of the point P( -6,8) from the origin (0, 0) −−−−−−−−− 2 2 = √(−6) + 8
−−−−−− = √36 + 64 −−− = √100

1/6 All the best 8. (a) 2 : 3 Explanation: Given: (x, y) = (1, 3), (x1, y1) = (-6, 10), (x2, y2) = (3, -8) Let m1 : m2 = k : 1 m1 x2 + m2 x1 ∴ x= m1 + m2
k×4+1×(1) 1= k+1
k + 1 = 4k - 1 ⇒ k = 2
Therefore, the required ratio is 2 : 3
9. (d) A is false but R is true. Explanation: If the lines are coincident, then it has an infinite number of solutions. The reason is clearly true. 10. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: Assertion 9x2 + 3kx + 4 = 0 D = b2 - 4ac = (3k)2 - 4(9)(4) = 9k2 - 144 For equal roots D = 0 9k2 = 144 k=± 12
k = ±4 Section B 11. α and β are zero of the polynomial: p(x)=4x2-5x-1 a=4,b=-5,c=-1 5 So, Sum of the zeroes = α + β=- a b = 4 −1 Product of the zeroes = αβ= c
a = 4
Now, α2β + αβ2 = αβ(α + β)
5 −1 = ( ) 4 4
−5 = 16 . 12. 3x + 2y - 7 = 0 ....(i) 4x + y - 6 = 0 ....(ii) From eqn. (ii) 4x + y - 6 = 0 4x + y = 6 y = 6 - 4 x ...(iii) On putting this value of y in eqn. (i) 3x + 2(6 - 4x) - 7 = 0 ⇒ 3x + 12 - 8x - 7 = 0 ⇒ -5x + 5 = 0 ⇒ 5x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 5x = 5 ⇒ x = 5/5 ∴ x = 1
Substituting this value of x in (ii), we get,
4(1) + y - 6 = 0 ⇒y=6-4×1 ⇒y=6-4 ⇒y=2
2/6 All the best Hence, values of x and y of given linear equations are 1 and 2 respectively. 13. We have, (k+4) x2 + (k+1)x + 1= 0 Here a = (k+4), b = (k+1), c =1 ⟹ D = b2 -4ac = (k+1)2 - 4 (k+4) (1) = k2 +1 + 2k - 4k -16= k2 -2k -15 For equal roots, D = 0 ⟹ k2 - 2k -15 = 0 ⟹ k2 - 5k + 3k -15 = 0 ⟹ k (k - 5) +3 (k - 5) = 0 ⟹ (k+3) (k-5) = 0
Either k+3 = 0 or k-5 = 0
⟹ k = -3, 5
OR Let first root of given quadratic equation be α According to question second root = 3α We know that Sum of roots = − b
a −b α + 3α = a −12 ⇒ 4α = 1
⇒ α = -3 Product of roots = c
a −k α × 3α = 1
3α = -k 2
Put the value of α
3 × (-3)2 = -k k = -27 Section C 14. Let the given polynomial is p(x) =x2 + 7x + 7 Here,a = 1, b = 7, c = 7 ∴ α, β are both zeroes of p(x) −b ∴ α + β = a = -7.........(i) αβ = c
β − 2αβ is - 15. OR Since α, β are the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = x2 - 5x + k. Compare f(x) = x2 - 5x + k with ax2 + bx + c. So, a = 1 , b = -5 and c = k (−5) α + β = − 1 =5 k αβ = = k 1
Given, α − β = 1 Now, (α + β) = (α − β) 2 2 + 4αβ
⇒ (5)2 = (1)2 + 4k ⇒ 25 = 1 + 4k
⇒ 4k = 24
3/6 All the best ⇒ k=6 Hence the value of k is 6. 15. We have 217x + 131y = 913 ..........(i) 131x + 217y = 827 ...........(ii) Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get (217x + 131y) + (131x + 217y) = 913 + 827 217x + 131y + 131x + 217y = 1740 348x + 348y = 1740 ⇒ x + y = 5 .........(iii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
(217x + 131y) - (131x + 217y) = 913 - 827 ⇒ 217x + 131y - 131x - 217y = 86 ⇒ 86x - 86y = 86 ⇒ x - y = 1 .......... (iv) Adding equation (iii) and (iv), we get (x + y) + (x - y) = 5 + 1 ⇒x+y+x-y=6 ⇒ 2x = 6 ⇒x=3 Putting x = 3 in equation (iii), we get y = 2. Hence, x= 3 and y = 2 is the solution of the given system of equations. 16. Sol : Let the required number be x and x + 3. Then, according to given question we have, x× (x + 3) = 504 ⇒ x2 + 3x = 504 ⇒ x2 + 3x - 504 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 24x - 21x - 504 = 0 ⇒ x(x + 24) - 21(x + 24) = 0
⇒ (x + 24)(x - 21) = 0
⇒ x + 24 = 0 or x - 21 = 0 ⇒ x = - 24 or x = 21 Case I: When x = -24 ∴ x + 3 = -24 + 3 = -21
Case II: When x = 21
∴ x + 3 = 21 + 3 = 24 Hence, the numbers are -21, -24 or 21, 24. Section D 17. We have to prove that √5 + √7 is irrational number – – Let us assume that √5 + √7 is a rational number – – a so √5 + √7 = b (a and b are integer, b is not equal to 0) – a – √5 = b - √7 = integer/integer - rational = rational Since a,b and 5 are integers, – This shows that √5 is rational – But this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational Thus our Assumption is wrong – – Hence √5 + √7 is irrational 18. Let the number of rows be n. A.P. formed is 22, 21, 20, 19, ... Here, a = 22, d = -1 Sn = 250 ∴ 250 = n [44 + (n − 1)(−1)] 2
⇒ n2 - 45n + 500 = 0
4/6 All the best ⇒ (n - 25)(n - 20) = 0 n ≠ 25 ∴ n = 20 logs in top row = a20 = 22 + 19(-1) = 3 OR Given that, a = 2, d = 8 and Sn = 90. As, Sn= n
Thus, AB = BC = CD = DA −−−−−−−−−−−−−− − −−− 2 2 2 Diag. AC = √(0 − 0) + (4 + 2) = √(6) = 6 units − −−−−−−−−−−−−−− − − −−−− Diag. 2 2 2 BD = √(−3 − 3) + (1 − 1) = √(−6) = 6units
∴ Diag. AC= Diag. BD
Thus, ABCD is a quadrilateral in which all sides are equal and the diagonals are equal Hence, quadrilateral ABCD is a square OR Let the point P ( 1
