B) Solve the following questions. (4)

1) Write an A.P. whose first term is a and common difference is d in each of the following. a = 6, d = - 3

Ans. a = t1 = 6,
t2 = t1 + d = 6 + (- 3) = 3,
t3 = t2 + d = 3 + (- 3) = 0,
t4 = t3 + d = 0 + (- 3) = - 3.

∴ Arithmetic progression is 6, 3, 0, -3, ....

2) In a hockey team there are 6 defenders , 4 offenders and 1 goalee. Out of these, one player is to be selected
randomly as a captain. Find the probability of the selection that - A defender will be selected.

Ans. Sample space is 'S'. There are 6 defenders, 4 offenders & 1 goalee.
n(S) = 6 + 4 + 1 = 11
Event B : A defender will be selected.
 There are 6 defenders.
∴ n(B) = 6

3) If 15x + 17y = 21 and 17x + 15y = 11, then find the value of x + y.

Ans. The given equations are

15x + 17y = 21 ... I

17x + 15y = 11 ... II
Adding equations (1) and (2)
15x+17y=21

+17x+15y=11

32x+32y=32

Dividing both sides by 32, we get

x+y=1

4) Decide if the following is quadratic equation or not ?

Ans. In the equation 9y2 + 5 = 0, y is the only variable and maximum index of the
variable is 2

∴ It is a quadratic equation.

B) Solve the following questions. (Any four) (8)

1) Solve the following simultaneous equations.

5x + 2y = -3 ; x + 5y = 4

Ans. 5x + 2y = -3 ...I

 y

5x + 2y = −3

− − +

23y = 23

23
∴ y=

∴ y=1

Substituting y = 1 in equation II
x + 5y = 4

∴ x + 5×1 = 4

∴ x+5=4

∴ x=4-5

∴ x=-1

∴ x = -1, y = 1 is the solution of given simultaneous equations.

(i) getting head (ii) getting tail

Ans. Let ‘S’ be the sample space.

S = {H, T} n(S) = 2

4) Given Arithmetic Progression 12, 16, 20, 24, .... Find the 24th term of this progression.

Ans. The A.P. is 12, 16, 20, 24 ....

Here a = 12, d = 16 - 12 = 4, n = 24, t24 ?
tn = a + (n - 1) d

∴ t24 = 12 + (24 - 1) 4

= 12 + 23 × 4

= 12 + 92

∴ t24 = 104

Thus 24th term of the A.P. is 104.

5) Determine the nature of roots of the following quadratic from their discriminant.
m2 - 2m + 1 = 0

Ans. m2 - 2m + 1 = 0
[Here m = x] we
Comparing with am2 + bm + c = 0
get,
a = 1, b = -2, c = 1

△= b2 - 4ac

= b2 - 4ac

= (-2)2 - 4 × 1 × 1

=4-4

∴ △ =0

As △ = 0, the roots of the quadratic equation are real and

equal.

55
∴ S55 = [2a + (55 - 1)d ]
2

55
∴ 3300 = [_____]

55
∴ 3300 = ×2 [a + 27d]
2

∴ _____ = 55 (a + 27d)

___
∴ a + 27d = ___

∴ a + 27d = _____ ... I

Now tn = a + (n - 1)d

∴ t28 = a + (28 - 1) d

∴ t28 = a + _____

∴ t28 = 60 ... [From I]

Thus, the 28th term is 60.

 Here Sn = S55 = 3300.
Let the first term of the A.P. be a and the common difference d.

n
Sn = [2a + (n - 1)d]
2

55
∴ S55 = [2a + (55 - 1)d ]
2

55
∴ 3300 = [2a + 54d]
2

55
∴ 3300 = ×2 [a + 27d]
2

∴ 3300 = 55 (a + 27d)

3300
∴ a + 27d =
55

∴ a + 27d = 60 ... I

Now tn = a + (n - 1)d

∴ t28 = a + (28 - 1) d

∴ t28 = a + 27d

∴ t28 = 60 ... [From I]

Thus, the 28th term is 60.

∴ _____= 0

Ans. Form the quadratic equation from its roots.

3 and - 10

Let α and β are the roots of the quadratic equation.

Let α = 3 and β = - 10

∴ α + β = 3 + (- 10) = - 7 and

α×β = 3×- 10 = - 30

Then required quadratic equation is

∴ x2 - (α + β) x + αβ = 0

∴ x2 - (- 7)x - 30 = 0

∴ x2 + 7x - 30 = 0

B) Solve the following questions. (Any two) (6)

1) Solve the following equations by Cramer's method.

7x + 3y = 15 ; 12y − 5x = 39

Ans. 7x + 3y = 15

Expressing the equation 12y − 5x = 39 in the form of ax + by = c, we get

− 5x + 12y = 39

∣ 7 3 ∣
D=∣ ∣
∣ − 5 12 ∣

= (7×12) − (3×− 5)
 = 84 − (− 15)

= 84 + 15

∴ D = 99

∣ 15 3 ∣
Dx = ∣ ∣
∣ 39 12 ∣

= (15×12) − (3×39)

= 180 − 117

∣ 7 15 ∣
Dy = ∣ ∣
∣ − 5 39 ∣

= (7×39) − (15×− 5)

= 273 − (− 75)

= 273 + 75

By Cramer's rule

Dx 63 7
x= = = and
D 99 11

Dy 348 116
y= = =
D 99 33

2) In an A.P. 17th term is 7 more than its 10th term. Find the common difference.

Ans. Here tn = a + (n - 1)d

∴ t17 = a + (17 - 1)d

∴ t17 = a + 16d ... I

Also t10 = a + (10 - 1)d

∴ t10 = a + 9d ... II

Now t17 = t10 + 7 ... [Given]

 ∴ a + 16d = a + 9d + 7 ... [From I, II]

∴ a + 16d - a - 9d = 7

∴ 7d = 7

7
∴ d=
7

∴ d=1

Thus, the common difference is 1.

2) There is an auditorium with 27 rows of seats. There are 20 seats in the first row, 22 seats in the second row, 24
seats in the third row and so on. Find the number of seats in the 15th row and also find how many total seats are
there in the auditorium?

Ans. The number of seats in each row are as follows: 20, 22, 24. ...
The number of seat in each row form an A.P. with number of seats in first row (a) = 20.
Difference between number of seats in two successive rows (d) = 2
Total number of rows (n) = 27
Number of seats in 15th row (t15) = ?
Total number of seats in 27 rows (S27) = ?

tn = a + (n - 1) d

∴ t15 = 20 + (15 - 1) 2

∴ t15 = 20 + 14×2

∴ t15 = 20 + 28

∴ t15 = 48

n
Sn = [2a + (n - 1) d]

27
∴ S27 = [2×20 + (27 - 1) 2]
2

27
∴ S27 = [40 + 26×2]
2

27
∴ S27 = [40 + 52]

27
∴ S27 = ×92
2

∴ S17 = 1242

There are 48 seats in 15th row and 1242 seats in the auditorium.
