(D) The area of an exhibition hall is 96 sq. m. If the length and breadth be increased by 1 m each, the area increases by 21 sq. m. Find the length and breadth of the hall.
Ans : The area of the rectangular hall is 96 sq. cm.
If the length is x meters, then breadth is \frac{96}{x} meters.
If the length is made (x + 1)m and breadth is made ( \frac{96}{x} + 1) m then new area is
96 + 21 = 117 sq. m
(x + 1) [ \frac{96}{(x + 1)} ] = 117
96+ x +\frac{96}{(x + 1)} = 117
96x + x2 + 96 + x = 117 x
x2 − 20x + 96 = 0
x2 − 12x − 8x + 96 = 0

Either x = 8 OR x = 12
As length is bigger than breadth,
The length is 12 m and breadth is 8 m.

12x + 5 (9x – 31) = 16
12x + 45x − 155 − 16 = 0
57x − 171 = 0
x = \frac{171}{57}
= 3
Substituting x = 3 in Eq (1)
6 × 3 + 5y = 8
5y = 8 − 18
y = − \frac{10}{5}
= − 2
The solution is x = 3, y = − 2

(C) If two zeros of the polynomial x4 −13x3 −33x2 + 39x + 90 are \sqrt{3} and − \sqrt{3} find the other zeros of the polynomial.
Ans : Since \sqrt{3} and − \sqrt{3} are the two zeros,
(x − \sqrt{3} ) (x + \sqrt{3} ) = x2 −3 is a factor of the polynomial
Let us divide the given polynomial by x2 −3
Factorising x2 − 13x − 30 we get
= (x + 2) (x − 15)
The other zeros are given by x + 2 = 0 and x − 15 = 0
x = − 2 and x = 5
The required other two zeros are − 2 and 15.
(D) Prove that \sqrt{5} is an irrational number.
Proof: Let us assume, to the contrary, that \sqrt{5} is rational.
We can find integers a and b () such that = a/b where a and b are coprime
b \sqrt{5} = a
5b2 = a2 … (1)
a2 is divisible by 5
a is divisible by 5 … (2)
a = 5c, for some integer c …. (3)
Substitute (3) in (1), we get
5b2 = 25c2
b2 = 5c2
b2 = 3c2
b2 is divisible by 5.
b is divisible by 5 … (3)
From (2) and (4), a and b are both divisible by 5.
This contradicts our assumption that a and b are coprime.
\sqrt{5} is rational is a wrong assumption.
\sqrt{5} must be irrational.

Find the mode of this data.
Ans : The maximum class frequency is 13.
The modal class is 65 − 75
Where l = lower limit of the modal class = 65
h = class size = 10
f1 = frequency of the modal class = 13
f0= frequency of the class preceding the modal class = 8
f2 = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class = 6
Mode = l + \frac{ f_{1}- f_{0} }{2 f_{1} - f_{0} - f_{2} } × h
= 65 + ( \frac{13 - 8 }{2 × 13 - 8 - 6} ) × 10
= 65 + \frac{5}{12} × 10

and a + (7 − 1) d = 22 …. (2)
From (1) a + d = 2
From (2) a + 6d = 22
Subtracting (2) from (1) we get
− 5d = − 20
d = 4
From (1) a + (2 − 1) 4 = 2
a = 2 − 4
a = − 2
Sum of n terms, Sn = \frac{n}{2} [ 2 a + (n − 1 ) d ]

(B) With reference to the given figure and the given conditions write only the proof with reasons of the following theorem.
Given: In ΔPQR, ∠PQR = 90° QS _|_ PR, where S lies on PR.
Prove that: PR2 = PQ² + QR2
Proof :
In ΔPSQ and ΔPQR
∠P = ∠P (common side)
∠PSQ = ∠PQR (each is a right angle)
ΔPSQ ∼ ΔPQR (AA similarity criterion)
= \frac{ PQ}{RS} = \frac{PS}{PQ}
PQ2 = PS × PR … (1)
Similarly we can prove that ΔQSR ∼ ΔPQR
= \frac{ QR}{PR} = \frac{SR}{PR}
QR2 = SR × PR … (2)
Adding (1) and (2)
PQ2 + QR2 = PS × PR × SR × PR
= PR (PS + SR)
= PR PR
= PR2
PR2 = PQ2 + QR2
(C) The perpendicular from K to side MN of ΔKMN intersects MN at R such that 3MR = RN.
Prove that: 2KN2 = 2KM2 + MN2
Proof :
MN = MR + RN
= MR +3MR (using given condition)
= 4MR
MR = \frac{1}{4} MN and RN = \frac{3}{4} MR … (1)
Now in right ΔKRN, by Pythagoras theorem,
KN2 = KR2 RN2
= (KM2 – MR2) + RN2 (using right DKRM)
= KM2 − \frac{1}{16} MN2 + \frac{9}{16} MN2 [using (1)]
= KM2 + \frac{8}{16} MN2
KN2 = KM2 + \frac{1}{2} MN2
Multiplying by 2, we get
2KN2 = 2KM2 + MN2
(D) As observed from the top of a 75 m high lighthouse from the sea level, the angles of depression of two ships are 30° and 60°. If one ship is exactly behind the other on the same side of the lighthouse find the distance between the ships.
Ans : Let BD = x and BC = y
DC = y − x …(1)
In right ΔABD, tan 60° = \frac{AB}{BD}
\sqrt{3} = \frac{75}{x}
x = \frac{75}{ \sqrt{3} } … (2)
In right Δ ABC, tan 30° = \frac{AB}{BC}
\frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{75}{y}
y = \frac{75}{ \sqrt{3} } … (3)
From (1) (2) and (3)
DC = y − x = \frac{75}{ \sqrt{3} } / \sqrt{3}
= 75 ( \frac{ \sqrt{3} - 1 } { \sqrt{3} } )
= 75 ( \frac{ 3 - 1 } { \sqrt{3} } )
= \frac{150}{ \sqrt{3} } × \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }
= \frac{150 } { \sqrt{3} }
= 50 \sqrt{3}
Distance between the two ships is 50 meters.

= \frac{5}{4} + \frac{16}{3} − 1

= 5 \frac{7}{12}
(C) With the help of a suitable figure prove that

Ans :
In right Δ ABC, ∠C = 90°.
By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 + BC2 = AB2
Dividing by AB2,
\frac{AC²}{AB²} + \frac{BC²}{AB²} = \frac{AB²}{AB²}
\big( \frac{AC}{AB} \big)² + \big( \frac{BC}{AB} \big)² = 1
