AB touches the inner circle, it a tangent to the inner
circle. Since OP ┴ AB (radius is perpendicular to the
tangent at the point of contact) (1)

26. 15n = (3x5)n by fundamental theorem of arithmetic (1)
Since numbers ending with 0 have prime factors 2 and 5, we observe that (1)
15n does not have prime factor 2, therefore it cannot end with digit zero. (1)

DR = DS (Tangents on the circle from point D)
CR = CQ (Tangents on the circle from point C)
BP = BQ (Tangents on the circle from point B)
AP = AS (Tangents on the circle from point A) (1 ½ )
Adding all the equations, we obtain
DR+CR+BP+AP = DS+CQ+BQ+AS
(DR+CR)+(BP+AP) = (DS+AS)+(CQ+BQ) (1)

32. Let the father and son’s ages be x yrs and y yrs respectively.
X + y = 45 (½ )
5 yrs ago , product = 124
(x – 5)(y – 5) = 124
(40 – y)(y – 5) = 124 (1 )
Y2 – 45y + 324 = 0 (1)
Y = 36, 9 (1)
( y is son’s age , y ≠ 36, since father cannot be 9 yrs) (½ )
Y is son’s age so y= 9 yrs and since x = 45 -y = 36 yrs (1)
(OR)
Let the initial average speed = x km/hr
Increased speed = (x+4) km/hr

(𝑥 − 66)(𝑥 + 2) = 0
𝑥 = 66 , −2 (1)
Therefore, initial average speed = 66 km/hr (½)
speed ≠ -2 ( speed cannot be negative) (½)
