28. It is given that the sum of seven cash prizes is equal to ₹ 700.
And, each prize is ₹ 20 less than its preceding term.
Let the value of first prize = ₹ a
Let the value of second prize =₹ (a−20)
Let the value of third prize = ₹ (a−40)
So, we have a sequence of the form:
a, a−20, a−40, ...................
It is an arithmetic progression because the difference between consecutive terms is constant.
First term = a, Common difference = d = (a − 20) − a= −20
n = 7 (Because there are total of seven prizes)
S7 = ₹ 700 {given}
Applying formula, S n =
n

2
[2a + (n − 1)d] to find sum of n terms of AP, we get
7
S7 = [2a + (7 − 1)(−20)]
2
7
⇒ 700 = [2a − 120]
2

⇒ 200 = 2a− 120

⇒ 320 = 2a

Page 12 of 18
 ⇒ a =160
Therefore, value of first prize = ₹ 160
Value of second prize = 160 - 20= ₹ 140
Value of third prize = 140 - 20= ₹ 120
Value of fourth prize = 120 - 20 = ₹ 100
Value of fifth prize = 100 - 20 = ₹ 80
Value of sixth prize = 80 - 20 = ₹ 60
Value of seventh prize = 60 - 20 = ₹ 40
OR
Three digits numbers that are divisible by 11 are :-
110, 121, 132,.............., 990
Clearly ,above sequence is an A.P.
Here,
a (First term) = 110
d (common difference) = 11
an = 990
We know that, in A.P.
an = a + (n - 1)d
Or, 990 = 110 + (n - 1) × 11
Or, 990 = 110 + 11n - 11
Or, 990 = 99 + 11n
Or, 891 = 11n
Or, n = 81
Also,

Or, S81 = 2

Or, S81 = 81 × 550

The tangents at A and B intersect at P.

CONSTRUCTION : Join OP and OA. Let OP and AB intersect at M.
Let PA = x cm and PM = y cm.
Now, P A = P B
and OP is the bisector of ∠AP B [∵ two tangents to a circle from an external point are equally inclined to the line segment
joining the centre to that point.
Also, OP ⊥ AB and OP bisects AB at M [∵ OP is the right bisector of AB]

From △PMT, PT2 = x2 + 16
From △POT, PT2 = (x + 3)2 - 25
Hence x2 + 16 = x2 + 9 + 6x - 25
⇒ 6x = 32 ⇒ x =
16

Hence, PT2 = 256

Section D
32. Let the original average speed of the train be x km/hr.
Time taken to cover 63 km = hours 63

Time taken to cover 72 km when the speed is increased by 6 km/hr = 72

⇒ 45x + 126 = x2 + 6x
⇒ x2 - 39x - 126 = 0
⇒ x2 - 42x + 3x - 126 = 0
⇒ x(x - 42) + 3(x - 42) = 0

⇒ (x - 42)(x + 3) = 0

⇒ x - 42 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
⇒ x = 42 or x = -3
Since the speed cannot be negative, x ≠ −3 .
Thus, the original average speed of the train is 42 km/hr.
OR
According to the question, let the consecutive multiples of 7 be 7x and 7x +7
2 2
(7x) + (7x + 7) = 637

or, 49x + 49x + 49 + 98x = 637

2 2

or, 98x + 98x − 588 = 0

2

or, x + x − 6 = 0
2

or, (x + 3)(x - 2) = 0
or, x = -3 ,2
Rejecting the value, x=2
Thus,the required multiples are, 14 and 21.

Hence, the median age of diabetic patients is 46.5 years.

Section E
36. i. Since, each poor child pays ₹ x
and each rich child pays ₹ y
∴ In batch I, 20 poor and 5 rich children pays ₹ 9000 can be represented as 20x + 5y = 9000

and in batch II, 5 poor and 25 rich children pays ₹ 26,000 can be represented as 5x + 25y = 26,000
ii. As we have 20x + 5y = 9,000 ...(i)
and 5x + 25y = 26,000
or x + 5y = 5,200 ...(ii)
On subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
19x = 3,800
⇒ x = 200

∴ Monthly fee paid by a poor child = ₹ 200

iii. As we have,
20x + 5y = 9000 ...(i)
and 5x + 25y = 26000
x + 5y = 5200 ...(ii)
On subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we have
19x = 3800
3800
x= 19

= 200
Put the value of x in equation (ii), we get
200 + 5y = 5200
5y = 5200 - 200
y = 1000
∴ y - x = 1000 - 200
= 800
Hence, difference in the monthly fee paid by a poor child and a rich child is ₹ 800.
OR
Total monthly fee = 10x + 20y
= 10(200) + 20(1,000)
= 2,000 + 20,000
= ₹ 22,000

hence, the time must be 3 sec
