(c) 70 o

Explanation:

OA = OC ( radii )
So, ∠ OAC = ∠ OCA = x
Again, In △OAC
∠ OAC + ∠ OCA + ∠ AOC = 180o
x + x + ∠ AOC = 180o
x + x + 40o = 180o
2x = 140o
x = 70o

4. (a) 60o
Explanation: As per the question
∠ BAD = ∠ BCD = 75o (opposite angles of parallelogram)
Now, in △BCD,
∠ BCD + ∠ CBD + ∠ BCD = 180o
45o + ∠ CBD + 75o = 180o
∠ CBD = 60o

∠ CBA = 180 - 110 ...(linear pair)

= 70°
Given ∠ CAD = 135°
So, ∠ CAB = 180 - 135 ...(linear pair)
= 45°
So, ∠ ACB = 180 - (70 + 45) ...(angle sum property of triangle)
= 65°

Explanation: The general form of a polynomial is anxn, where n is a natural number.
For zero polynomial an = 0.
Since the largest value of n for which an is non-zero is negative infinity (all the integers are bigger than negative infinity).
Therefore, the degree of zero polynomials is not defined.

10. (a) 112o

Explanation:
Let angles of parallelogram are ∠ A, ∠ B, ∠ C, ∠ D

Let smallest angle = ∠ A

Let largest angle = ∠ B
= ∠ B = 2∠ A – 24o ...(i)
∠ A + ∠ B = 180o [adjacent angle of parallelogram]
So, ∠ A + 2∠ A -24o = 180o
= 3∠ A = 180o + 24o = 204o

13.
(b) 60o
Explanation:
In the given figure, OA||CD.
Construction: Extend OA such that it intersects BC at E.

Now, OE||CD and BC is a transversal.

∴ ∠ AEC = ∠ BCD = 130o (Pair of corresponding angles)
Also, ∠ OAB + ∠ BAE = 180o (Linear pair)
∴ 110o + ∠ BAE = 180o
⇒ ∠ BAE = 180o - 110o = 70o
In △ABE
∠ AEC = ∠ BAE + ∠ ABE ... (In a triangle, exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)

∴ 130o = 70o + xo
⇒ xo = 130o - 70o = 60o
Thus, the measure of angle ∠ ABC is 60o

y = 2 ×3 + 3
=6+3
=9
So, (3, 9) lies on the given line
17.
(d) only one
Explanation: only one because if a line is passing through two points then that two points are solution of a single linear

PO + PO = PR [Using (ii) in (i)]
2PO = PR
Therefore P O = P R 1

22. Euclid's Axiom 5 states that "The whole is greater than the part. Since this is true for anything in any part of the world. So, this is
a universal truth.

Section C
26. Consider, AB = 4.5 units.
Extend AB upto point C such that BC = 1 unit.
∴ AC = 4.5 + 1 = 5.5 units.

Now mark O as the midpoint of AC.

This length BD = √4.5 units.
To show BD on the number line, consider line ABC as number line with point B as zero.
Therefore, BC = 1 unit.
With B as centre and radius BD draw an arc which intersects number line ABC at E.

27. A histogram for the daily earnings of 30 drug stores

28. Given: ABC is a triangle right angled at C. A line through the mid-point M of hypotenuse AB and parallels to BC intersects AC at
D.

To Prove:
i. D is the mid-point of AC (ii) MD ⊥ AC
ii. CM = MA = AB 1

Proof :
i. In ACB,
As M is the mid-point of AB and MD || BC
∴ D is the mid-point of AC . . . [By converse of mid-point theorem]

Page 13 of 19
 ii. As MD || BC and AC intersects them
∠ ADM = ∠ ACB . . . [Corresponding angles]

But ∠ ACB = 90o . . .[Given]

∴ ∠ ADM = 90o ⇒ MD ⊥ AC
iii. Now ∠ ADM + ∠ CDM = 180o . . .[Linear pair axiom]
∠ ADM = ∠ CDM = 90o
In △ADM and △CDM
AD = CD . . . [As D is the mid-point of AC]
∠ADM = ∠ CDM . . .[Each 90o ]
DM = DM . . .[Common]
∴ △ADM ≅ △CDM . . .[By SAS rule]

∴ MA = MC . . .[c.p.c.t.]

But M is the mid-point of AB

∴ MA = MB = AB

∴ MA = MC = 1

29. We have the equation as 3x + 2y = 18
In standard form
3x + 2y - 18 = 0
Or 3x + 2y + (-18) =0
But standard linear equation is
ax + by + c = 0
On comparison we get, a = 3, b = 2, c = -18
If (4, 3) lie on the line, i.e., solution of the equation LHS = RHS
∴ 3(4) + 2(3) = 18

12 + 6 = 18
18 = 18
As LHS = RHS, Hence (4, 3) is the solution of given equation.
Again for (1,2)
3x + 2y = 18
∴ 3(1)+2(2)=18

3 + 4 = 18
7 = 18
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence (1, 2) is not the solution of given equation.
Therefore (4,3) is the point where the equation of the line 3x + 2y = 18 passes through where as the line for the equation 3x + 2y
=18 does not pass through the point (1,2).

Now, let
R2 is the remainder when p(x) is divided by x - 4
⇒ R2 = p(4)

⇒ R2 = 2(4)3 - 5(4) + a
= 128 - 20 + a
= 108 + a .... (2)
Given, R1 + R2 = 0
⇒ 64a + 45 + 108 + a = 0
⇒ 65a + 153 = 0

⇒ a = -

This is the required value of a.

Draw EF ∥ AB ∥ CD
Now, AB ∥ EF and BE is the transversal.
Then,
∠ABE = ∠BEF [Alternate Interior Angles]
∘
⇒ ∠BEF = 35

Again, EF ∥ CD and DE is the transversal

Then,
∠DEF = ∠F ED
∘
⇒ ∠F ED = 65

∘
∴ x = ∠BEF + ∠F ED

x = 35 + 65°
∘ ∘

x = 100°

OR
Through O draw OE ∥ AB ∥ CD
Then, ∠AOE + ∠C OE = x ∘

Now, AB ∥ OE and AO is the transversal

∘
∴ ∠OAB + ∠AOE = 180

∘ ∘
⇒ 104 + ∠AOE = 180

⇒ ∠AOE = (180 − 104)

Again, CD ∥ OE and OC is the transversal

∴ ∠C OE + ∠OC D = 180

33. We are Given that,

An iron pillar consists of a cylindrical portion and a cone mounted on it.
The height of the cylindrical portion of the pillar, H = 2.8 m = 280 cm.

Page 16 of 19
 The height of the conical portion of the pillar, h = 42 cm..
The diameter of the cylindrical portion of the pillar = diameter of the circular base of cone = D = 20 cm.
The radius of the circular base of cylinder/ cone r = = 10 cm. D

Now, we have,
Volume of the pillar, (V) = Volume of the cylindrical portion of pillar + volume of the conical portion of the pillar.

⇒ V = (88000 + 4400) cm3
⇒ V = 92400 cm3
Hence, volume of iron pillar is 92400 cm3
Given,
Weight of 1 cm3 iron = 7.5 gm.
Hence, weight of 92400 cm3 iron = 7.5 × 92400 gm.
= 693000 gm.
= 693 Kg.
Since, 1Kg = 1000 gm.
Hence, the weight of iron piller is 693 Kg.

Given that the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 5: 12: 13 and its perimeter is 150 m
Let the sides of the triangle be 5x m, 12x m and 13x m.
We know:
Perimeter = Sum of all sides
or, 150 = 5x + 12x + 13x
or, 30x = 150
or, x = 5
Thus, we obtain the sides of the triangle.
5 × 5 = 25 m
12 × 5 = 60 m
13 × 5 = 65 m
Now,
Let:
a = 25 m, b = 60 m and c = 65 m

35. Given, that f(x) = x3 + 6x2 + 11x + 6
Clearly we can say that, the polynomial f(x) with an integer coefficient and the highest degree term coefficient which is known as
leading factor is 1.
So, the roots of f(x) are limited to integer factor of 6, they are ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 6
Let x = -1
f(-1) = (−1)3 + 6(−1)2 + 11(−1) + 6
= -1 + 6 -11 + 6
=0
Let x = – 2
f(-2) = (−2)3 + 6(−2)2 + 11(−2) + 6
= – 8 – (6 * 4) - 22 + 6
= – 8 + 24 - 22 + 6
=0
Let x = – 3
f(-3) = (-3)3 + 6(-3)2 + 11(-3) + 6
= – 27 – (6 × 9) - 33 + 6
= – 27 + 54 - 33 + 6
=0
But from all the given factors only -1, -2, -3 gives the result as zero.Furher,since f(x) is a polynomial of degree 3, therefore,it has
almost 3 roots.
Therefore, the integral roots of x3 + 6x2 + 11x + 6 are -1, -2, -3.

Take for example the length of diameter (hypotenuse) = 5 units.
Road D and Road B are equal hence (Road D = 3.53 units).
Let Road E be = 1, Road F = 4.89 units.
