direction of x-axis is
(A) (0, −3) (B) (0, 3) (C) (3, 0) (D) (−3, 0)

Ans. : (c) (3, 0)

Explanation: Since it lies on x-axis so ordinate will be zero because the
value of the y-coordinate in the x-axis is equal to zero. Thus point will be (3,
0).

Explanation: Construction: Join CF and extent it to cut AB at point M

Firstly, in triangle MFB and triangle DFC
DF = F B (As F is the mid-point of DB )
 ∠DF C = ∠M F B (Vertically opposite angle)
∠DF C = ∠F BM (Alternate interior angle)

Explanation: Put x−3 = 0 , then x = 3
Therefore, value of x 2
− ax − 15 at x = 3 is zero

⇒ 3 − 3a − 15 = 0

⇒ −6 − 3a = 0

⇒ a = −2

10. ABCD is a parallelogram. If is produced to E such that ED bisects BC at O.

Then which of the following is correct?
(A) OC = BE (B) OE = OC (C) AB = OE (D) AB = BE
Ans. : (d) AB = BE
Explanation:

In the figure, △BC D is a parallelogram, where AB is produced to E such

that OC = OB
In △OBE and △OC D,
∠1 = ∠2 (Vertically opposite angles)

∠3 = ∠4 (Alternate interior angles)

SH
OB = OC (given)

∴ △OBE ≅ △OC D (By ASA congruency)

Also, AB = C D (y ABC D is parallelogram)

 (A) 40
∘
(B) ∘
50 (C) 70
∘
(D) ∘
60

Ans. : (d) 60 ∘

Explanation: Produce OP to intersect RQ at point N.

Now, OP ∥RS and transversal RN intersects them at N and R respectively.

∴ ∠RN P = ∠SRN (Alternate interior angles)

∘
⇒ ∠RN P = 130
∘ ∘ ∘
∴ ∠P N Q = 180 − 130 = 50 (Linear pair)

∠OP Q = ∠P N Q + ∠P QN (Exterior angle property)

∘ ∘
⇒ 110 = 50 + ∠P QN
∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ ∠P QN = 110 − 50 = 60 = ∠P QR

intersect at E. If ∠AEB = 110 and ∠C BE = 30 , then ∠ADB = ? ∘ ∘

(A) 80
∘
(B) ∘
60 (C) 90
∘
(D) ∘
70

Ans. : (a) 80 ∘

Explanation : We have :
∘
∠AEB + ∠C EB = 180 (Linear pair angles)

∘ ∘
⇒ 110 + ∠C EB = 180
∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ ∠C EB = (180 − 110 ) = 70

∘
⇒ ∠C EB = 70

In △C EB, we have:
 ∠C EB + ∠EBC + ∠EC B
∘
= 180 (Angle sum property of a triangle)

∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ 70 + 30 + ∠EC B = 180

∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ ∠EC B = (180 − 100 ) = 80

The angles in the same segment are equal.

Thus, ∠ADB = ∠EC B = 80 ∘

⇒ ∠ADB = 80

ST

Ans. : Suppose, p(x) = px + 5x + r 2

As (x − 2) is a factor of p(x)
∴ p(2) = 0

2
⇒ p(2) + 5(2) + r = 0

⇒ 4p + 10 + r = 0 … (1)

Again, (x − 1

2

∴ p( ) = 0

Now, p ( 1 1 2 1

From equation (1), we have 4p + r = −10

From equation (2), we have p + 10 + 4r = 0
⇒ p + 4r = −10

∴ 4p + r = p + 4r[∵ Each = −10]

Width of tarpaulin = 3 m

Let Length of tarpaulin = L

∴ Area of tarpaulin = Length × Breadth = L × 3 = 3L

Now According to question, 3L = 188.4

⇒ L = 188.4/3 = 62.8m

The extra length of the material required for stitching margins and cutting
is 20 cm = 0.2 m.
So the total length of tarpaulin bought is (62.8 + 0.2) m = 63 m

35. Using factor theorem, factorize the polynomial : x 3 2

− 6x + 3x + 10

Ans. : Let, f (x) = x − 6x + 3x + 10

3 2

The constant term in f (x) is 10

The factors of 10 are ±1, ±2, ±5, ±10
Let, x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = −1

Substitute the value of x in f(x)

3 2
f (−1) = (−1) − 6(−1) + 3(−1) + 10

= −1 − 6 − 3 + 10

= 0
 Similarly, (x − 2) and (x − 5) are other factors of f (x)
Since, f (x) is a polynomial having a degree 3 , it cannot have more than
three linear factors.
∴ f (x) = k(x + 1)(x − 2)(x − 5)

Substitute x = 0 on both sides

3 2
⇒ x − 6x + 3x + 10 = k(x + 1)(x − 2)(x − 5)

⇒ 0 − 0 + 0 + 10 = k(1)(−2)(−5)

⇒ 10 = k(10)

⇒ k = 1

Substitute k = 1 in f (x) = k(x + 1)(x − 2)(x − 5)

f (x) = (1)(x + 1)(x − 2)(x − 5)

3 2
so, x − 6x + 3x + 10 = (x + 1)(x − 2)(x − 5)

This is the required factorisation of f(x)

another number y so that the difference of the numbers is 10 (x > y).

Now the teacher asked James to add double of Peter's number and that
three times of Kevin's number, the total was found 120.

Now Veena just entered the class so the teacher told her to form 2nd
equation with two variables x and y.

Now teacher Told Reeta to find the values of x and y. Peter and kelvin
were told to verify the numbers x and y.

i. What are the equation formed by Reeta and Veena?

ii. What was the equation formed by Veena?
iii. Which number did Peter think?
OR
Which number did Kelvin think?
 i. x − y = 10

2x + 3y = 120

Ans. : ii. 2x + 3y = 120

iii. x − y = 10 … (1)

2x + 3y = 120 … (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 and to equation (2)

3x − 3y + 2x + 3y = 30 + 120

⇒ 5x = 150

⇒ x = 30

Hence the number thought by Prateek is 30.

OR
We know that x - y = 10 ...(i) and 2x + 3y = 120 ...(ii)
Put x = 30 in equation (i)
30 - y = 10
⇒ y = 40

Hence number thought by Kevin = 40.
