Explanation:
The product of a rational number and an irrational number can be either a rational number or an irrational number.
e.g √5 × √2 = √10 which is irrational

Thus, the product of two irrational numbers can be either rational or irrational
similarly, the product of rational and irrational numbers can be either rational or irrational

21. Step 1: By substitution method, we pick either of the equations and write one variable in terms of the other.
7x – 15y = 2 ...(1)
and x + 2y = 3 ...(2)
Let us consider the Equation (2):
x + 2y = 3
and write it as x = 3 – 2y ...(3)
Step 2: Now substitute the value of x in Equation (1)
We get 7(3 – 2y) – 15y = 2
i.e., 21 – 14y – 15y = 2
i.e., – 29y = –19

Therefore y =

We know that the tangent at any point of a circle is ⊥ to the radius through the point of contact.
∴ ∠ OPA = 90o
∴ OA2 = OP2 + AP2 [By Pythagoras theorem]

⇒ 25 = (OP)2 + 16
⇒ OP2 = 9
⇒ OP = 3 cm

26. Let us assume, to the contrary, that 5 − √3 is rational.

That is, we can find coprime numbers a and b (b ≠ 0) such that 5 − √3 =
b
a
Therefore, 5 − = √3
b
a 5b − a
Rearranging this equation, we get √3 = 5 − =
b b
a
Since a and b are integers, we get 5 − is rational, and so √3 is rational.
b
But this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational
This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that 5 − √3 is rational.
So, we conclude that 5 − √3 is irrational.

27. x2 + x - 12
Let p(x) = x2 + x - 12
For zeroes of p(x), p(x) = 0
⇒ x 2 + x − 12 = 0
⇒ x 2 + 4x − 3x − 12 = 0
By the method of splitting the middle term
⇒ x(x + 4) − 3(x + 4) = 0
⇒ (x + 4)(x − 3) = 0
⇒ x + 4 = 0 or x − 3 = 0
⇒ x = − 4 or x = 3
x = -4, 3
So, the zeroes of x2 + x - 12 are -4 and 3.
Sum of zeroes
−1 − Coefficient of x
= ( − 4) + 3 = − 1 = =
1 Coefficient of x 2
Product of its zeroes
− 12 Constant term

1 Coefficient of x 2
Hence the relation between zeroes and coefficient is verified.
28. Let us denote the incomes of the two-person by ₹ 9x and ₹ 7x and their expenditures by ₹ 4y and ₹ 3y respectively.
Then the equations formed in the situation is given by :
9x – 4y = 2000 ...(i)
and 7x – 3y = 2000 ...(2)
Step 1: Multiply Equation (1) by 3 and Equation (2) by 4 to make the coefficients of y equal. Then, we get the equations:
27x – 12y = 6000 ...(3)
28x – 12y = 8000 ...(4)
Step 2: Subtract Equation (3) from Equation (4) to eliminate y, because the coefficients of y are the same. So, we get
(28x – 27x) – (12y – 12y) = 8000 – 6000
i.e., x = 2000
Step 3: Substituting this value of x in (1), we get
9(2000) – 4y = 2000
i.e., y = 4000
So, the solution of the equations is x = 2000, y = 4000. Therefore, the monthly incomes of the persons are ₹18,000 and
₹14,000 respectively.
OR
Given, 99x + 101y = 499 ....(i)

101x + 99y = 501... (ii)
Adding eqn. (i) and (ii),
( 99x + 101y ) + (101x + 99y ) = 499 + 501
99x + 101y + 101x + 99y = 1000
200x + 200y = 1000
x + y = 5 ...(iii)
Subtracting eqn. (ii) from eqn. (i), we get
( 99x + 101y ) - (101x + 99y ) = 499 - 501

myCBSEguide
99x + 101y - 101x - 99y = -2
-2x + 2y = - 2
or, x - y= 1 ........ (iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv)
x+y+x-y=5+1
2x = 6
∴ x=3
Substituting the value of x in eqn. (iii), we get
3+y=5
y=2
Hence the value of x and y of given equation are 3 and 2 respectively.

According to question a dealer sells a toy for Rs. 24 and gains as much per cent as the cost price of the toy.

33. GIVEN A right triangle ABC right angled at B i.e. BD ⊥ AC.

PROOF We have,
∠ ABD + ∠DBC = 90°

Also, ∠C + ∠DBC + ∠BDC = 180°
⇒ ∠C + ∠DBC + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠C + ∠DBC = 90°
But, ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 90°

∴ ∠ ABD + ∠DBC = ∠ C + ∠DBC
⇒ ABD = ∠C ...(i)
∠
Thus, in ΔADB and ΔBDC, we have

∠ ABD = ∠C [From (i)]

In ΔBDC and ΔABC, we have
∠ BDC = ∠ABC [Each equal to 90°]

36. i. Since the production increases uniformly by a fixed number every year. Therefore, the sequence formed by the
production in different years is an A.P. Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the A.P. formed i.e.,
'a' denotes the production in the first year and d denotes the number of units by which the production increases every
year.
We have, a3 = 600 and
a3 = 600
⇒ 600 = a + 2d
⇒ a = 600 - 2d ...(i)
⇒ a7 = 700
⇒ a7 = 700
⇒ 700 = a + 6d

From (i) and (ii)
600 - 2d = 700 - 6d

year.

We know that first term = a = 550 and common difference = d = 25
an = 1000
⇒ 1000 = a + (n - 1)d

⇒ 1000 - 550 + 25 = 25n
⇒ 475 = 25n
475
⇒ n= 25

iii. Since the production increases uniformly by a fixed number every year. Therefore, the sequence formed by the
year.
The production in the 10th term is given by a10. Therefore, production in the 10th year = a10 = a + 9d = 550 + 9 ×

Distance between B and C

and distance travelled by second bus to reach to B
