We know that
0 ≤ Probability ≤ 1
but is greater than 1, So, this can not be the possible value of probability.

2. (a) a = c
Explanation:
Since, If ax2 + bx + c = 0 has equal roots, then
b2 - 4ac = 0
⇒ (a + c)2 - 4ac = 0 ... [Given: b = a + c]
⇒ a2 + c2 + 2ac - 4ac = 0
⇒ a2 + c2 - 2ac = 0
⇒ (a - c)2 = 0
⇒ a-c=0
⇒ a = c

3.

Height of given cone (h1) = 30 cm
Let r1 be its radius

Then volume of the larger cone = ( 1

(c) 40 km/hr

Page 7 of 20
 Explanation:
Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr
Time taken to cover 360 km at this speed = 360

x
hrs.
Time taken to cover 360 km at the increased speed = 360

x+5

According to condition, x

⇒ 360 [

x+5
] =1
x+5−x
⇒ 360 [ ] =1
x(x+5)

5
⇒ 360 [
x(x+5)
] =1

⇒ x2 + 5x - 1800 = 0
⇒ x2 + 45x - 40x - 1800
⇒ x(x + 45) - 40(x + 45) = 0

⇒ (x - 40)(x + 45) = 0

⇒ x - 40 = 0 and x + 45 = 0
⇒ x = 40 km/hr and x = -45 km/hr [But x = -45 is not possible]
Therefore, the actual speed of the train is 40 km/hr.

5.
(c) 4
Explanation:
According to question,
a3 = 16
⇒ a + 2d = 16 ... (i)
And a7 = a5 + 12
⇒ a + 6d = a + 4d + 12
⇒ a + 6d - a - 4d = 12
⇒ 2d = 12

⇒ d = 6

Putting value of d in eq. (i),

we get a + 2 × 6 = 16
⇒ a = 4

6. (a) -1
Explanation:
A(2, 3) and B(-4, 1) are the given points.
Let C(0.y) be the points are y-axis
−−−−−−−−−−−−−− −
AC = √(0 − 2) + (y − 3) 2 2

−−−−−−−−−−− −
⇒ AC = √4 + y + 9 − 6y
2

−−−−−−−−− −
⇒ AC = 2
√y − 6y + 13
−−−−−−−−−−−−−− −
BC = √(0 + 4)2 + (y − 1)2
−−−−−−−−−−−− −
⇒ BC = √16 + y + 1 − 2y
2

−−−−−−−−−−
⇒ BC = √y − 2y + 17
2

Since AC = BC
AC2 = BC2
y2 - 6y + 13 = y2 - 2y + 17
⇒ -6y + 2y = 17 - 13
⇒ -4y = 4

⇒ y = -1

Therefore, the point on y-axis is (0, -1) and here ordinate is -1.

Page 8 of 20
 Explanation:
Let f(x) = 3x2 + 11x - 4
f(x) = 3x2 + 12x - x - 4
f(x) = 3x(x + 4) - 1 (x + 4)
f(x) = (x + 4)(3x - 1)
Put both the factors equal to zero.
x + 4 = 0, x = -4
3x - 1 = 0, x = 1

The zeroes of the polynomial 3x2 + 11x - 4 are 1

⇒ = ⇒ =
EC 5 5.6−x 5

⇒ 5x = 16.8 − 3x

⇒ 5x + 3x = 16.8 ⇒ 8x = 16.8
16.8
⇒ x = = 2.1

∴ x = 2.1cm

Explanation:
PD + QB = PA + QA [Tangents from an external point to a circle are equal]
⇒ PD + QB = PQ

10.

AB || CD
and OP ⊥ AB
OQ ⊥ CD
By fig clear that
distance between two tangent is OP + OQ
ie. 5 + 5 = 10 cm.

11.
(c) 2 cos2A - 1
Explanation:

Page 9 of 20
 The given expression is cos4A - sin4A.
Factorising the given expression, we have
cos4A - sin4A = [(cos2A)2 - (sin2A)2]
= (cos2A + sin2A) × (cos2A - sin2A) ...[∵ (a2 - b2) = (a + b) (a - b)]
= cos2A - sin2A ...[∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1]
= cos2A - (1 - sin2A)
= cos2A - 1 + cos2A
= 2 cos2A - 1

12.
(b) 45

= 33 × 5
Now, for 225 will be
225 = 3 × 75

(b) (√3 + 1) h metres
Explanation:
Let the height of the light house AB be h meters
Given that: angle of depression of ship are ∠ C = 30o and ∠ D = 45o

Distance of the ship C = BC = x and distance of the ship D = BD = y

Here, we have to find distance between the ships.
So we use trigonometric ratios.
In a triangle ABC,
AB
⇒ tan C =
BC

∘ h
⇒ tan 30 =
x
1 h
⇒ =
√3 x

–
⇒ x= √3 h
Again in a triangle ABD,
tan D = AB

BD

⇒ tan 45o = h

h
⇒ 1= y

⇒ y=h
– –
Now, distance between the ships = x + y = √3h + h = (√3 + 1) h

Number of king cards in the pack = 4
∴ Number of cards that are not king = 52 - 4 = 48

So, favourable number of outcomes = 48

∴ Required probability = 52

21. Let us assume that 5 − 2√3 is a rational number.
Then, there must exist positive co primes a and b such that
– a

The right side 2a
is a rational numbers so √3 is a rational number
–
This contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number
–
Hence our assumption is incorrect and 5 − 2√3 is an irrational number.

Let ABCD be a parallelogram such that its

sides touch a circle with centre O.
We know that the tangents to a circle from an exterior
point are equal in length.
Therefore,AP = AS [From A] ...(i)
BP = BQ [FromB] ...(ii)
CR = CQ [From C] ...(iii)
and , DR = DS [From D] ...(iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get,
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ +CQ + DS
⇒ ( AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = ( AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC

⇒ 2 AB = 2 BC

⇒ AB = BC

Page 14 of 20
 Therefore, AB = BC = CD = AD
Thus, ABCD is a rhombus.
OR
According to question we are given that
PT=12cm and PO=13cm
Now Since tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
∘
∴ ∠OT P = 90

In right triangle OTP, we have

(OP)2 =( OT)2 + (PT)2 (using Pythagoras theorem)

⇒ 132 = OT2 + 122
⇒ OT2 = 132 - 122 = (13 - 12)(13 + 12) = 25
⇒ OT = 5.

Hence, radius of the circle is 5 cm.

In △ADF,

√3 =

–
√3x = H + 200 ...............(2)
here H is height of cloud above the lake.

Substituting the value of x from (1) into (2) we get

3(H - 200) = H + 200
3H - 600 = H + 200

Page 15 of 20
 2H = 800
H = 400 m
So height of the cloud above the lake is 400 m.

32. Suppose, the present age of father be x years and the present age of son be y years.
According to the question,
Five years hence,
Father's age = (x + 5)years
Using the given information, we have
x + 5 = 3(y + 5)

⇒ x − 3y − 10 = 0 ...........(i)
Five years ago,
Father's age = (x − 5)years
Son's age =(y − 5)years
Using the given information, we get
(x − 5) = 7(y − 5)

⇒ x − 7y + 30 = 0 ............(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
4y − 40 = 0

⇒ y = 10

Putting y = 10 in equation (i), we get

x − 30 − 10 = 0

⇒ x = 40

Hence, present age of father is 40 years and present age of son is 10 years.
OR
Let length of given rectangle be x and breadth be y
∴ area of rectangle = xy

According to the first condition

(x - 5)(y + 3) = x y - 9
or, xy + 3x - 5 y - 15 = xy - 9
or, xy + 3x - 5y - xy = 15 - 9
or, 3x - 5y = 6........(i)
According to the second condition,
(x +3)(y +2) = xy + 67
or, xy + 2x + 3y + 6 = xy + 67
or, xy + 2x + 3y - xy = 67 - 6
or, 2x + 3y = 61 ...(ii)
Multiplying eqn. (i) by 3 and eqn. (ii) by 5 and then adding,
9x-15y = 18
10x + 15y = 305
or, 19x = 323
323
∴ x = = 17
19

Substituting this value of x in eqn. (i),

3(17)-5y = 6
51 - 5y = 6
or, 5y = 51 - 6
∴ y = 9

Hence, perimeter = 2(x + y) = 2(17 + 9) = 52 units.

33. Let the vertices of the triangle are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3)
D,E AND F are the mid points of sides AB, BC AND AC
Given, D(1,2),E(0,-1)and F(2,-1).
Draw DE, DF, FE and BF

Page 16 of 20
 As D and F are mid points of AB and AC
∴ DF || BE
E and F are mid points of BC and AC
∴ EF || BD
Hence, DBEF is a parallelogram
We know that, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
That means, both diagonals have same mid - point.
Midpoint BF = Midpoint of DE

34. Let BPC be the hemisphere and ABC be the cone mounted on the base of the hemisphere. Let EFGH be the right circular cylinder
circumscribing the given toy.

We have,
Given radius of cone, cylinder and hemisphere (r) = 4

2

Height of cone (l) = 2 cm
Height of cylinder (h) = 4 cm
Now, Volume of the right circular cylinder = π r2 h= π × 2 2

∴ Required space = Volume of the right circular cylinder - Volume of the toy

= 16πcm − 8πcm = 8πcm .

Hence, the right circular cylinder covers 8π cm3 more space than the solid toy.
So, remaining volume of cylinder when toy is inserted in it = 8π cm 3

Page 17 of 20
 Let height of the cone 1 be 'h' cm and the height of the cone 2 be (21 cm - h) .

Hence, the required volume is 396 cm3.

According to the question,
Third term + seventh term = 6
⇒ [a + (3 - 1)d] + [a + (7 - 1)d] = 6 = a + (n - 1)d

⇒ (a + 2d) + (a + 6d) = 6 ⇒ 2a + 8d = 6
⇒ a + 4d = 3 ..... (1)

Dividing throughout by 2 &

(third term) (seventh term) = 8
⇒ (a + 2d) (a + 6d) = 8
