(AB − C D)

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

Firstly, in triangle MFB and triangle DFC
DF = FB (As F is the mid-point of DB)
∠ DFC = ∠ MFB (Vertically opposite angle)

∠ DFC = ∠ FBM (Alternate interior angle)

∴ By ASA congruence rule

△ MFB ≅ △DFC
Now, in triangle CAM
E and F are the mid-points of AC and CM respectively

(d) AB = BE

Explanation:

In the figure, △BCD is a parallelogram, where AB is produced to E such that OC = OB

In △OBE and △OCD,
∠ 1 = ∠ 2 (Vertically opposite angles)

∠ 3 = ∠ 4 (Alternate interior angles)

OB = OC (given)
∴ △OBE ≅ △OCD (By ASA congruency)

⇒ BE = CD (By CPCT)
Also, AB = CD (y ABCD is parallelogram)

(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)

⇒ ∠ RNP = 130o
∴ ∠P N Q = 180

∘ ∘
= 50 (Linear pair)
∠OP Q = ∠P N Q + ∠P QN (Exterior angle property)
⇒ 110o = 50o + ∠P QN

7(3√3+2√2)

15. (a) 80°

Explanation: We have:
∠ AEB + ∠ CEB = 180° (Linear pair angles)

⇒ 110° + ∠ CEB = 180°

⇒ ∠ CEB = (180° - 110°) = 70°

⇒ ∠ CEB = 70°

In △CEB, we have:
∠ CEB + ∠ EBC + ∠ ECB = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)

⇒ 70° + 30° + ∠ ECB = 180°

⇒ ∠ ECB = (180° - 100°) = 80°

The angles in the same segment are equal.

Thus, ∠ ADB = ∠ ECB = 80°
⇒ ∠ ADB = 80°

Also, DX || BY (As AD || BC)

So, XBYD is a parallelogram (A pair of opposite sides equal and parallel)

Thus, the required point is (0, 4).

30. In Figure, a histogram and a frequency table of the above frequency distribution are drawn on the same scale.

To construct a frequency polygon without using the histogram of a given frequency distribution, we use the following algorithm.
STEP-I: Obtain the frequency distribution.
STEP-II: Compute the mid-points of class intervals i.e. class marks.
STEP-III: Represent class marks on X-axis on a suitable scale.
STEP-IV: Represent frequencies on Y-axis on a suitable scale.

Page 13 of 17
 STEP-V: Plot the points, where x denotes class mark and f corresponding frequency.
STEP-VI: Join the points plotted in step V by line segments.
STEP-VII: Take two class intervals of zero frequency, one at the beginning and the other at the end. Obtain their mid-points.
These classes are known as imagined classes.
STEP-VIII: Complete the frequency polygon by joining the mid-points of first and last class intervals to the mid-points of the

ii. The areas under the sugarcane crops were the maximum and minimum in 1982-83 and 1950-51 respectively.
iii. The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1982-83= 34 lakh hectares.
The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1950-51= 17 lakh hectares.
Clearly, the area under sugarcane crop in the year 1982-83 is not 3 times that of the year 1950-51
So, the given statement is false.

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

Now According to question, 3L = 188.4

The extra length of the material required for stitching margins and cutting is 20 cm = 0.2 m.

35. Let, f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10
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)

f(-1) = (−1)3- 6(−1)2 + 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

⇒ x3– 6x2 + 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 )
so, x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10 = (x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
This is the required factorisation of f(x)

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

⇒ 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)
