points, viz., A, O, and B in the given figure.
3. Is x = -2 a solution of the equation x² - 2x + 8 = 0?
Solution: Substituting x = -2 on the LHS of the equation we get

SECTION B
Question numbers 11 to 15 carry 2 marks each.
11.Find the quadratic polynomial sum of whose zeroes is 8 and their product
is 12. Hence, find the zeroes of the polynomial.
Solution: As you know,
f(x)= k  x² - (Sum of the zeroes)x + Product of the zeroes
 , where k is constant.
F(x) = k(x² - 8x + 12) = 0
Or, x² - 8x + 12 = 0
Or, x² - 6x – 2x +12 = 0
Or, x(x – 6) – 2(x – 6) = 0
Or, (x – 6)(x – 2) = 0
Now, x – 6 = 0  x = 6
Or, x – 2 = 0  x = 2
Thus, the zeroes of the equation are: 6 and 2

Or, PQ = diameter – radius
Or, PQ = radius

thoroughly. A card is drawn from the box at random. Find the probability
that the number on the taken out card is
(a) a prime number less than 10
(b) a number which is a perfect square.
Solution: Total number of cards in the box is 50-4 = 46
So, total number of outcomes = 46

So,
3b = a
Squaring on both sides we get
3b²=b²
 a² is divisible by 3
 a is also divisible by 3
Let a= 3m, where m is an integer.
Substituting a = 3m we get
3b²= 9m²
 b²=3m²
This means that b² is divisible by, and so b is also divisible by 3. Therefore, a and b
have at least 3 as a common factor. But this contradicts the fact that a and b are coprime. This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that
rational.
3 is
17.Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the square of any positive
integer is either of the form 3m or 3m+1 for some integer m.
Solution: Let x be any positive integer then it is of the form 3q, 3q+1 or 3q+2
When x= 3q, then by squaring, we have
x² = (3q) ² = 9q² = 3(3q²) = 3m, where m = 3q²
When x = 3q+1, then by squaring we get
x² = (3q+1) ² = 9q²+6q+1 = 3q(3q+2)+1 = 3m+1, where m = q(3q+2)
When x = 3q+2, then by squaring we get
x² = (3q+2) ² = 9q²+12q+4 = (9q²+12q+3)+1
= 3(3q²+4q+1)+1= 3m+1, where m=3q²+4q+1
Hence, it can be said that the square of any positive integer, say x, is either of the
form 3m or 3m+1 for some integer m.
18.The sum of the 4th and 8th term of an AP is 24 and the sum of the 6th and
10th term is 44. Find the first three terms of the AP.
Solution: Let a be the first term and let d be the common difference of the AP.
Then as per question,
t4+t8 =24
Or, (a+3d)+(a+7d) = 24
 2a+10d=24
 a+5d = 12-------------------------- (1)
Similarly,
(a+5d)+(a+9d) = 44
 2a+14d = 44
 a+7d = 22 -------------------------- (2)
from equations (1) and (2)
(a+7d)-(a+5d) = 22 – 12
Or, 2d = 10
Or, d = 5

Putting the value of d in equation 2 we get
a +35=22
Or, a = -13
So, first three terms of the AP are as follows:
-13, -8, -3
19.Solve for x and y:
(a-b)x + (a+b)y = a² - 2ab - b²
(a+b)(x+y) = a²+b²
Solution: The given linear equations in x and y are
(a-b)x + (a+b)y = a² - 2ab - b² ---------------------- (1)
(a+b)(x+y) = a² + b² --------------------------------- (2)
Re-writing (2) we get
(a+b)x + (a+b)y = a² + b² --------------------------- (3)
Subtracting (1) from (3) we get
(a+b)x + (a+b)y – (a-b)x – (a+b)y = a² + b² - a² +2ab + b²
Or, (a+b)x – (a-b)x = 2b²+ 2ab = 2b(b+a)
Or, ax + bx – ax +bx = 2b(b+a)
Or, 2bx = 2b(b+a)
Or, x = b+a
Substituting x = b+a in equation (1) we get
(a-b)(a+b) + (a+b)y = a² - 2ab - b²
Or, a² - b² + (a+b)y = a² - 2ab - b²
Or, (a+b)y = a² - 2ab - b² -a² +b²
Or, (a+b)y = -2ab
Or, y =

ab
Hence, the solution is
x = a+b
y=

Alternate Question:
Solve for x and y:
37x+43y = 123
43x+37y = 117
Solution: We have,
37x+43y = 123 -------------------- (1)
43x+37y = 117 -------------------- (2)
Adding (1) and (2) we get
80x+80y = 240
Or, x+y = 3
Or, x = 3-y
Substituting x= 3-y in equation (1) we get
37(3-y)+43y =123
Or, 111-37y+43y = 123

When x =15/4 , then time taken by thicker pipe to fill the tank is 3.75-10 = -6.25

SOLUTION: Given a circle with centre O and two tangents are drawn from an
external point T to the circle.
Prove = TP =TQ
Proof: In ∆TPO and ∆TQO
TPO  TQO (radius makes right angle with tangent)
PO=QO (radius)
TO=TO (common side)
Hence, ∆TPO ≈ ∆TQO
SO, TP = TQ Proved
Now, draw a line AB which touches both tangents and the circle as shown in figure.
Prove that, TA+AR = TB+BR
Using above proof
AP=AR (tangents from same external points)
BQ=BR (tangents form same external points)
TP = TA+AP = TA+AR
TQ = TB+BQ =TB+BR
So, TA+AR = TB+BR Proved

diameters of the upper and lower circular ends of the frustum be 14 m and
26 m respectively, the height of the frustum be 8 m and the slant height of
the surrounded conical portion be 12 m, find the area of the canvas required
to make the tent. Assume that the radii of the upper end of the frustum and
the base of surmounted conical portion are equal.
