Section – B
Section B consists of 3 questions of 2 marks each.

12 ∠B + ∠C = 180 ....(angles on the same side of transversal) 1

.'. ∠C = 180 - 75 = 105

Similarly

∠A + ∠D = 180 ....(angles on the same side of transversal) 1

.'. ∠D = 180 - 35 = 145

13 2x – y = p 1
2(1) - (-2) = p
2+2=p 1
p=4
OR
3 2
Let p(x) = 2x + x - 2x - 1, g(x) = x + 1
x+1=0
1
⇒ x = -1
Now,
p(-1) = 2(-1)3 + (-1)2 - 2(-1) - 1
= -2 + 1 + 2 - 1
=0
1
Since the remainder of p(-1) = 0 , by factor theorem we can say that g(x) = x
+ 1 is a factor of p(x) = 2x3 + x2 - 2x - 1.

(i) (3a + 4b)3 =27a3 + 108a2b + 144ab2 + 64b3
(ii) (5p – 3q)3 = 125p3 - 27q3- 225p2q + 135q2p 1

 SECTION – C
Section C consists of 3 questions of 3 marks each.

15 If x + y = 12 and xy = 32, Find the value of x2 + y2.

Formula used:
x² + y² = (x + y)² - 2xy 1
(x2 + y2)
= {(x2 + y2) + 2xy} - 2xy
= (x + y)2 - 2xy 1
= 122 - 2 × 32
= 144 - 64
= 80 1

16 In a trapezium ABCD, ∠A + ∠D = 180° and ∠B + ∠C = 180°

So, 55° + ∠D = 180°

Or, ∠D = 125°

Similarly,

70° + ∠C = 180°

Or, ∠C = 110°

OR

2x + 10 +3x - 10 = 180
5x = 180
x = 180/5 = 360

17 Write the three solutions of 2x + 3y = 8.

(1)2x + 3y =8
Put x=0 1
0 + 3y =8
y = 8/3
(2) Put x= 1 1
2(1) + 3y = 8
2 + 3y =8
3y = 6 1
y=2
(3) Put y = 0
2x + 3(0)
x=4

Section - D
Section D consists of 2 questions of 5 marks each.

18 If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then show that it is a rectangle.

Given :
llgm ABCD in which
AC = BD
To Prove : ABCD is rectangle.
Proof :
In ΔABC and ΔABD
AB=AB (Common)
AC=BD (Given)
BC = AD (opposite sides of lIgm)
 ∴ΔABC ≅ ΔABD (S.S.S. Rule)
∴∠A=∠B
But
AD || BC (∴opp. sides of ||gm are equal )
∴∠A + ∠B = 180∘
∴∠A = ∠B = 90∘
Similarly
∠D=∠C=90∘
Hence ABCD is a rectangle.
.

19 Without any actual division, prove that the following 5

2x⁴ – 5x³ + 2x² – x + 2 is divisible by x² – 3x + 2. [Hint: Factorize x² – 3x + 2]

Given, the polynomial is 2x⁴ - 5x³ + 2x² - x + 2

We have to prove that the polynomial is divisible by x² - 3x + 2 without actual
division.
Given, the factor is x² - 3x + 2
On factoring x² - 3x + 2 by splitting the middle term,
x² - 3x + 2 = x² - 2x - x + 2
= x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2)
= (x - 1)(x - 2)
Therefore, the factors are (x - 1) and (x - 2)
Let p(x) = 2x⁴ - 5x³ + 2x² - x + 2
Let q(x) = x - 1
We know q(x) = 0
x-1=0
x=1
Put x = 1 in p(x),
P (1) = 2(1) ⁴ - 5(1) ³ + 2(1) ² - (1) + 2
=2-5+2-1+2
=2+2+2-5-1
=6-6
P (1) = 0
Let r(x) = x - 2
We know r(x) = 0
x-2=0
x=2
Put x = 2 in p(x),
p (2) = 2(2) ⁴ - 5(2) ³ + 2(2) ² - (2) + 2
= 2(16) - 5(8) + 2(4) - 2 + 2
= 32 - 40 + 8
= 32 + 8 - 40
= 40 - 40
p (2) = 0
 Therefore, p (1) = p (2) = 0
OR
(i) (x+y) = x + 3x y + 3xy + y3
3 3 2 2 3

Hence (2x+3y)3

= (2x)3+3(2x)2⋅3y+3(2x) (3y)2+(3y)3

= 8x3+3⋅4x2⋅3y+3⋅2x⋅9y2+27y3

= 8x3+36x2y+54xy2+27y3

(ii) 9x2 + 6xy + y2

2
2 2
= (3x) + 2(3x) (y) + (y)

Identity: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Considering a = 3x and b = y

Hence 9x2 + 6xy + y2 = (3x + y)2
