(d) 96o

Explanation:

Here AC is side of hexagon, so it will subtend 60° angle at centre and also sides & radius are equal.
Thus, AC = OC = OA and ∠C OA = ∠OAC = ∠AC O = 60°
AB is side of pentagon, so it would subtend angle of = 72° angle at centre.
360

so, ∠BOP = 72°

SO, ∠C OB = 72 + 60 = 132°
Also since, OC = OB, ∠OC P = OBP
△C OB ∠C OB + ∠OBC + ∠OC B = 180°
2∠OBC = 180 - ( 132) = 48°
∠OBC =24°

NOW, ​​​​△ BOP ​​​​∠BOP +​​​​∠OP B+​​​​∠P BO =180°

∠OP B = 180 - (24 + 72) =180 - 96 = 84°

Now,
∠AP B and​​​​∠OP B lie on straight line, so they are supplementry angles.
∠AP B = 180 - ​​​​∠OP B = 180- 84 =96°
4. (a) 45°, 30°
Explanation: 3x - 10° = x + 80° [opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.];
3x - x = 80° + 10°;
2x = 90°;
x = 90°/2;
x = 45°
3x - 10° + y +25° = 180° [In a parallelogram co-interior angles are supplementary.];
3 × 45° - 10° + y + 25° = 180°;
135° + 25° - 10° + y = 180°;

Page 7 of 16
 150° + y = 180°;
y = 180° - 150° =30°

(b) 360o
Explanation: We have :
∠1 + ∠BAE = 180 ....(i) ∘

∠2 + ∠C BF = 180 ......(ii)
∘

∠3 + ∠AC D = 180 .....(iv)

∘

Adding (i),(ii) and (iii), we get:

∘
(∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3) + (∠BAE + ∠C BF + ∠AC D) = 540

⇒ 180
∘
+ ∠BAE + ∠C BF + ∠AC D = 540
∘
[∵ ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180 ]
∘

⇒ ∠BAE + ∠C BF + ∠AC D = 360

(d) 105 o

Explanation:

Here, AOB is diameter,

so, ∠BOE = 180 - 150 = 30° {Angles lie in straight line}
Now, OE & OB are radius so, OE = OB .i.e∠OEB =​​∠OBE
In △BOE, ∠BOE + ∠OBE + ∠BEO =180°
= 30 + 2​​∠OBE =180°
= 2​​∠OBE = 180 - 30 = 150°
= ​​∠OBE = 75°
Now, ​​∠OBE & ∠C BE lie on staright line
so, ​​∠OBE + ∠C BE =180°
∠C BE = 180 - 75 = 105°

FE || BC [By mid-point theorem]
Now, in ΔABP, F is mid-point of AB and FQ || BP. Q is mid-point of AP
AQ = QP

20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Section B

21.

Let a line AB have two mid-points, say, C and D. Then

AB = AC + CB = 2AC . . . . (i) . . . [As C is the mid-point of AB]
and AB = AD + DB = 2AD . . . . (ii) [As D is the mid-point of AB]
From equation (i) and (ii)
AC = AD and CB = DB
But this will possible only when D lies on point C. So every line segment has one and only one mid-point.
22. We have AB = BC [Given]
Now, by Euclid’s axiom 7, we have things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another.
1 1
∴ AB = BC

AB and BY = 1

BC (Given)]
23. (i) (+, +) are the signs of the co-ordinates of points in the I quadrant.
∴ A(1, 1) lies in the I quadrant.
(ii) (–, –) are the signs of the co-ordinates of points in the III quadrant.
∴ B(–2, –4) lies in the III quadrant.
(iii) (+, –) are the signs of the co-ordinates of points in the IV quadrant.
∴ C(1, –2) lies in the IV quadrant.
24. We know that, 0.5<0.55
Consider x=0.5, y=0.55 and n=2

Let x = 0. 235
i.e. x = 0.235235..… ….(i)
Multiply both sides by 1000, we get

On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get

999x = 235

⇒ r=( 308

44
) cm = 7 cm
Thus, the radius of circular end of the cone is 7 cm.
OR
We are given that,Two ratio in radius and slant height of a cone = 7 : 13
Let radius (r) = 7x
and slant height (1) = 3x
Curved surface area = πrl

31. We know that
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x+ y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx)
(Using Identity a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca))
= (0) (x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx) (∵ x + y + z = 0)

⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz.

Draw EF ∥ AB ∥ CD
Then, ∠AEF + ∠C EF = x ∘

Now, EF ∥ AB and AE is the transversal

∴ ∠AEF + ∠BAE = 180 [Consecutive Interior Angles]
∘

⇒ ∠AEF + 116 = 180

∘
⇒ ∠AEF = 64

Again, EF ∥ CD and CE is the transversal.

∠C EF + ∠EC D = 180 [Consecutive Interior Angles]
∘

⇒ ∠C EF + 124 = 180

∘
⇒ ∠C EF = 56

Therefore,
∘
x = ∠AEF + ∠C EF

x = (64 + 56)°
∘

x = 120°
∘

OR

∠ ABC = 65o
∠BCD = ∠ BCE + ∠ ECD = 30o + 35o = 65o
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ BCD

These angles form a pair of equal alternate angles

∴ AB || CD . . . (1)

FEC + ∠ ECD = 145o + 35o = 180o

∠

These angles are consecutive interior angles formed on the same side of the transversal.
∴ CD || EF . . . . (2)

AB || EF . . . [From (1) and (2)]

34. Suppose that the sides in metres are 6x, 7x and 8x.
Now, 6x + 7x + 8x = perimeter = 420
⇒ 21x = 420

⇒ x =

⇒ x = 20
∴ The sides of the triangular field are 6 × 20m, 7 × 20m, 8 × 20m, i.e., 120 m, 140 m and 160 m.

Now, s = Half the perimeter of triangular field.

Hence, the area of the triangular field = 8133.265 m2.

OR
Let x and y be the two lines of the right ∠
∴ AB = x cm, BC = y cm and AC = 10 cm

∴ By the given condition,

Perimeter = 24 cm
x + y +10 = 24 cm
Or x + y = 14 ... (I)
By Pythagoras theorem,

x + y = (10)

From (1), (x + y) = (14)2

(i) When, x-y = 2 and x+y = 14, then 2x = 16
or x = 8, y = 6
(ii) When, X – y = -2 and x + y = 14, then 2x = 12
Or x = 6, y = 8

We need to consider the factors of 2, which are ±1, ±2

Let us substitute 1 in the polynomial x − 2x − x + 2 to get
3 2

3 2
(1) − 2(1) − (1) + 2 = 1 − 2 − 1 + 2 = 0

Thus, according to factor theorem, we can conclude that (x − 1) is a factor of the polynomial

Let us divide the polynomial x 3

x − 2x − x + 2 = (x − 1) (x − x − 2) .

Therefore, we can conclude that on factorizing the polynomial x 3 2

∵ Cost of painting 1m2 of a cone = Rs.12
∴ Cost of painting 0.64056m2 of a cone = 12 × 0.64056 = Rs. 7.68672

37. i. Expenses in 2009-10 = 9160 Million
Expenses in 2010-11 = 10300 Million
Total expenses from 2009 to 2011
= 9160 + 10300
= 19460 Million
ii. Expenses in 2009-10 = 9160 Million
Expenses in 2010-11 = 10300 Million
Thus percentage of no of expenses in 2009-10 over the expenses in 2010-11

iii. The minimum expenses (in 2007-08) = 5.4 Million

Thus percentage of no of minimum expenses over the maximum expenses

OR
The expenses in 2010-11 = 10300 Million
The expenses in 2006-09 = 9060 Million
The difference = 10300 - 9060 Million
