⇒ OA + OB + arc AB = 16.4 cm

Section C
26. Given: Size of bathroom = 10 ft by 8 ft.
= (10 × 12) inch by (8 × 12) inch
= 120 inch by 96 inch
Area of bathroom = 120 inch by 96 inch
To find the largest size of tile required , we find HCF of 120 and 96.
By applying Euclid’s division lemma
120 = 96 × 1 + 24
96 = 24 × 4 + 0
Therefore, HCF = 24
Therefore, Largest size of tile required = 24 inches
no.of tiles required = = = 5 × 4 = 20 tiles
area of bathroom

area of a tile
120×96

24×24

Hence number of tiles required is 20 and size of tiles is 24 inches.

27. p(x) = x2 + 3x + 2
α , β are its zeroes

∴ α + β = -3, αβ = 2

Page 11 of 18
 Now,
(α + 1) + (β + 1) = α + β + 2 = -3 + 2 = -1
(α + 1)(β + 1) = αβ + (α + β ) + 1 = + 2 - 3 + 1 = 0
∴ Required Polynomial is k(x2 + x) or x2 + x

a + 9d = - 37 .,.(i)
Sum of first 6 term is - 27
S6 = [2a + (6 - 1)d]
6

3(2a + 5d) = -27

or, 2a + 5d = - 9 ...(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 2 and subtracting (ii) from it, we get
(2a + 18d) - (2a + 5d) = - 74 + 9
2a + 18d - 2a - 5d = -65
13d = - 65
d = -65/13
d=-5
Putting d = -5 in (i) we get
a + 9d = - 37
a + 9 × - 5 = -37
a = - 37 + 45

Hence, Sn = -76
OR
The given AP is 9, 17, 25,...
Here, a = 9
d = 17 - 9 = 8
Let n terms of the AP must be taken
Then, Sn = 636
n
⇒ [2a + (n − 1)d] = 636
2
n
⇒ [2(9) + (n − 1)8] = 636
2

⇒ n[9 + (n - 1)4] = 636

⇒ n[9 + 4n - 4] = 636

⇒ n[(4n + 5)] = 636

⇒ 4n2 + 5n - 636 = 0
⇒ 4n2 + 53n - 48n - 636 = 0
⇒ n(4n + 53) - 12(4n + 53) = 0

⇒ (4n + 53) (n - 12) = 0

⇒ 4n + 53 = 0 or n - 12 = 0

is in admissible as n, being the number of terms, is a natural number

Page 12 of 18
 ∴ n = 12
Hence, 12 terms of the AP must be taken.

From the given figure we have, AB⊥ST, then ∠ ASQ = 90° and CD⊥TS then ∠ CTQ = 90°
90
∠ASO = ∠QSO =
2
= 45°
Similarly, ∠OT Q = 45°
To find ∠SOT
Consider △SOT
∠OT S = 45° and ∠OST = 45°
∠SOT + ∠OT S + ∠OST = 180° ( by angle sum property of a triangle)

∠SOT = 180° - (∠OT S + ∠OST ) = 180° - (45° + 45°) = 180° - 90° = 90°

Therefore, ∠SOT = 90°

Hence proved

⇒ x(x + 60) - 45(x + 60) = 0

⇒ (x + 60)(x - 45) = 0

⇒ x + 60 = 0 or x - 45 = 0

⇒ x = -60 or x = 45

Since the speed cannot be negative, x ≠ −60 .

Thus, the original speed of the train is 45 km/hr.
