We have:
∠ AOB = 2∠ ACB

⇒ ∠ACB =

∠AOB = (

2
∘
× 90 ) = 45
∘
=> ∠ ACB = 45°
∠COA = 2∠ CBA = (2 × 30°) = 60°
∴ ∠ COD = 180° - ∠ COA = (180° - 60°) = 120°

⇒ ∠CAO =
1

2
∠COD = (

∘
× 120 ) = 60
∘
=> ∠ CAO = 60°

4.
(b) x = 55° and y = 110°
Explanation:
ABCD is a rectangle
The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent and bisect each other. Therefore, in △AOB, we have:
OA = OB
∠ OAB = ∠ OBA = 35°

x = 90° – 35° = 55° and ∠ AOB = 180° – (35° + 35°) = 110°

y = ∠ AOB = 110° [Vertically opposite angles]
Hence, x = 55° and y = 110°

5.
(c) an irrational number
Explanation:
Let a be rational and √b is irrational.
If possible let a + √b be rational.

Page 8 of 19
 Then a + √b is rational and a is rational.
⇒ [(a + √b) − a] is rational [Difference of two rationals is rational]

⇒ √b is rational.
This contradicts the fact that √b is irrational.
The contradiction arises by assuming that a + √b is rational.
Therefore, a + √b is irrational.

7.
(c) y = 9x - 7
Explanation:
Since all the given co- ordinate (1, 2), (-1, -16) and (0, -7) satisfy the given line y = 9x - 7
For point (1, 2)
y = 9x - 7
2 = 9(1) - 7
2=9-7
2=2
Hence (2, 1) is a solution.
For point (-1, -16)
y = 9x - 7
-16 = 9(-1) - 7
-16 = -9 - 7
-16 = -16
Hence (-1, -16) is a solution.
For point (0,-7)
y = 9x - 7
-7 = 9(0) -7
-7 = -7
Hence (0, -7) is a solution.

In △EAB
∠ EAB + ∠ EBA + ∠ AEB + 180 (Angle sum property)

∠B = 90o (Angle in a semicircle)

Now, in △ABC
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180o
68o + 90o + ∠ C = 180o

16. (a) II and IV quadrant

Explanation:
A coordinate is an ordered pair of numbers in which the first number is the abscissa i.e. the measurement along the X axis.
The signs of the coordinates in the first quadrant is (+,+),
the second quadrant is (−,+),
the third quadrant is (−,−),
fourth quadrant is (+,−).
So, the points whose abscissa and ordinate have different signs are 2nd and 4th quadrants.

22. We have ∠1 = ∠3 …(1) [Given]

And ∠2 = ∠4 …(2) [Given]
Now, by Euclid’s axiom 2, we have if equal are added to equals, the whole are equal.
Adding (1) and (2), we get
∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 + ∠4

Hence, ∠A = ∠C.
23. Since the distance of point B from the y-axis is 4 units. Thus x - coordinate or abscissa of point B is 4. The distance of point B
from the x-axis is 3 units. Therefore, y - coordinate or ordinate of point B is 3.
Hence, the coordinates of point B are (4, 3).

⇒ AD bisect BC and ∠A

28.

Given, P, Q, R and S are mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA, respectively.
Also,
AC is perpendicular to BD
∴∠ COD = ∠ AOD = ∠ AOB = ∠ COB = 90

i. ∵The point (2, 5) does not lie on the graph

∴ x = 2, y = 5 is not a solution.

31. Let f(x) = x3 + x2 - 4x - 4 be the given polynomial.
We have, f(-1) = (-1)3 + (-1)2 - 4(-1) -4 = -1 + 1 + 4 - 4 = 0
And, f(2) = (2)3 + (2)2 - 4(2) - 4 = 8 + 4 - 8 - 4 = 0
So, (x + 1) and (x - 2) are factors of f(x).
⇒ (x + 1)(x - 2) is also a factor of f(x).

⇒ x2 - x - 2 is a factor of f(x).
Let us know divide f(x) = x3 + x2 - 4x - 4 by x2 - x - 2 to get the other factors of f(x).
By long division, we have

∴ x3 + x2 - 4x - 4 = (x2 - x - 2)(x + 2)
⇒ x3 + x2 - 4x - 4 = (x + 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)
Hence, x3 + x2 - 4x - 4 = (x - 2)(x + 1)(x + 2)

But these angles form a pair of equal alternate angles for lines GM and HL and transversal GH.
∴ GM || HL ........ (2)

Similarly, we can prove that

HM || GL ......... (3)
In view of (2) and (3),
GLHM is a parallelogram

In △GHL,

(The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180o)
⇒ 90o + ∠ GLH = 180o ....... From (4)
⇒ ∠ GLH = 180o – 90o = 90o
⇒ One angle of parallelogram GLHM is a right angle.

⇒ Parallelogram GLHM is a rectangle.

33. A trapezium ABCD in which AB || DC, E is the mid-point of AD and F is a point on BC such that EF || DC.
To Prove: EF = (AB + DC)1

PROOF: In △ADC, E is the mid-point of AD and EM || DC (Given)

∴ G is the mid-point of AC
Since segment joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is half of the third side.
∴ EM = DC ...(i)

Now, ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC

But, EF || DC
∴ EF || AB

In △ABC, M is the mid-point of AC (proved above) and MF || AB.

∴ ST = SP - TP = (12 - 7) m = 5 m.

RT2= (169 - 25) m2 = 144 m2.

In △ACD, we have AC = 41 m, CD = 15 m and AD = 28 m.

Let a = 41 m, b = 15 m and c = 28 m. Then,

Section E
36. Let ABCD be the field and let AB1C1D1 be the part of the field where a pit is to be dug.

Volume of the earth dug out = (6 × 3 × 2.5) m3 = 45 m3 ...(i)

Area of the remaining part of the field = Area of the field - Area of pit
= (20 × 14 - 6 × 3)m2 = 262m2
The earth taken out of the pit is spread uniformly over the remaining area of the field. Let h metres be the level raised over the
field uniformly. Clearly, the earth taken out forms a cuboid of base area 262 m2 and height h.
Volume of the earth dug out = (262 × h) m3 ......(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we have

262h = 45 ⇒ h = = 0.1718m = 17.18cm

Hence, the level is raised by 17.18 cm

No of teachers in the age-group 20-25 years = 30
No of teachers in the age-group 25-30 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 30-35 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 35-40 years = 30
No of teachers in the age-group 40-45 years = 5
No of teachers in the age-group 45-50 years = 2
Thus the total no of teachers

No of teachers in the age-group 30 - 35 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 35 - 40 years = 30
Thus the no of teachers in the age range 25 - 40 years
= 50 + 50 + 30 = 130
OR
From the observation of the bar chart we find that :
No of teachers in the age-group 25-30 years = 50
No of teachers in the age-group 30-35 years = 50
Thus the no of teacher in the class 25-30 and 30-35 is equal.

Take for example the length of diameter (hypotenuse) = 5 units.
Road D and Road B are equal hence (Road D = 3.53 units).
Let Road E be = 1, Road F = 4.89 units.
Therefore, length of Road B + Road D is greater than Road E + Road F.
