Ans: (d) 18 cm
∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
AB=4 cm, DE=6 cm, EF=9 cm and FD=12 cm
⇒ AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF
⇒ 4/6 = BC/9 = AC/12

Ans: Let AOB be the sector with O as center.
Given: Radius = r = 5.2 cm
Perimeter of sector =16.4 cm
So, OA + AB + OB = 16.4

23. In the below figure, ΔABC is circumscribing a circle. Find the length of BC.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 4-

 Ans: AR = 4 cm
Also, AR = AQ (Length of tangents from A)
⇒ AQ = 4 cm
Now, QC = AC – AQ = 11 cm – 4 cm = 7 cm ...(i)
Also, BP = BR
∴ BP = 3 cm and PC = QC
⇒ PC = 7 cm [From (i)]
Hence, BC = BP + PC = 3 cm + 7 cm = 10 cm

24. Determine the values of a and b for which the following system of linear equations has infinite
solutions: 2x – (a – 4) y = 2b + 1; 4x – (a – 1) y = 5b – 1

Questions 26 to 31 carry 3 marks each

26. A man wished to give Rs. 12 to each person and found that he fell short of Rs. 6 when he wanted to
give to all the persons present. He, therefore, distributed Rs. 9 to each person and found that Rs. 9
were left over. How much money did he have and how many persons were there?
Ans. Let, number of persons = x

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 5-

 Money share per person = y
Therefore, total money = Rs. xy
According to the question, 12 × x = xy + 6 ⇒ 12x – 6 = xy ...(i)
and 9x = xy – 9
9x + 9 = xy ...(ii)
Equating (i) and (ii), we get
12x – 6 = 9x + 9 ⇒ 3x = 15
Put the value of x in equation (i). Then
12 × 5 – 6 = x × y ⇒ xy = 54
So, he have Rs. 54 and there were 5 persons.
OR
A father’s age is three times the sum of the ages of his children. After 5 years, his age will be two
times the sum of their ages. Find the present age of the father.
Ans. Let the sum of the ages of two children be 'x' years and father's age be 'y' years.
According to the given condition: y = 3x
or y – 3x = 0 ...(i)
After 5 years, Father’s age = (y + 5) years
Sum of the ages of children = (x + 5 + 5) years.
Then, y + 5 = 2(x + 10)
or y – 2x – 15 = 0 ...(ii)
On subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get x = 15
If we put the value of x in equation (i), we get
y – 3 × 15 = 0
⇒ y = 45
Hence, the present age of the father is 45 years.

29. Given that √3 is irrational, prove that 5 + 2√3 is irrational.
Ans: Let us assume 5 + 2√3 is rational, then it must be in the form of p/q where p and q are co-
prime integers and q ≠0
i.e 5 + 2√3 = p/q
p  5q
So √3 = …(i)
2q
Since p, q, 5 and 2 are integers and q ≠ 0,
RHS of equation (i) is rational.
But LHS of (i) is √3 which is irrational. This is not possible.
This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 5 + 2√3 is rational
So, 5 + 2√3 is irrational.

30. Cards numbered 1 to 30 are put in a bag. A card is drawn at random from this bag. Find the
probability that the number on the drawn card is
(i) not divisible by 3.
(ii) a prime number greater than 7.
(iii) not a perfect square number.
Ans : Total possible outcomes of drawing a card from a bag out of 30 cards = 30.
(i) Favourable outcomes for a card numbered not divisible by 3 = 20 (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13,
14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28 and 29).
Probability of drawing a card numbered not divisible by 3 = 20/30 = 2/3
(ii) Favourable outcomes for a prime numbered card greater than 7 = 6 (i.e. 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and
29)
Probability of drawing a prime number card, greater than 7 = 6/30 = 1/5
(iii) Favourable outcomes for not a perfect square numbered card = 25 (leaving 1, 4, 9, 16 and 25)
Probability of drawing a card which is not a perfect square = 25/30 = 5/6

31. Two tangents PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external point P. Prove that
APB = 2OAB.

PA & PB are the tangents to a circle, with Centre O from a point P outside it.
PA= PB. (The tangents to a circle from an external point are equal in length )
∠PBA = ∠PAB [Angles opposite to the equal sides of a triangle are equal.]
∠APB+ ∠PBA +∠PAB= 180° [Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
x° + ∠PAB +∠PAB = 180° (∠PBA = ∠PAB)
⇒ x° + 2∠PAB = 180°
⇒ ∠PAB =½(180° - x°)
⇒ ∠PAB =90° - x°/2
⇒ ∠OAB +∠PAB=90°
⇒ ∠OAB =90° - (90° - x°/2)
⇒ ∠OAB = x°/2 ⇒ ∠OAB = ∠APB /2 ⇒ ∠APB = 2∠OAB
OR
Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at

 In ΔOAP and ΔOAS
AP=AS ( Tangents from to same point A)
PO=OS ( Radii of the same circle)
OA=OA ( Common side)
so, ΔOAP=ΔOAS (SSS congruence criterion)
∴ ∠POA=∠AOS (CPCT) ⇒ ∠1=∠8
Similarly, ∠2=∠3, ∠4=∠5 and ∠6=∠7
∠1+∠2 +∠3+∠4+∠5+∠6+∠7+∠8 = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1 +∠8) +(∠2 +∠3) + (∠4 +∠5) + (∠6 +∠7) = 360⁰
⇒ 2(∠1) + 2(∠2) + 2(∠5) + 2(∠6) = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1) + (∠2) + (∠5) + (∠6) = 180⁰
∴ ∠AOD + ∠COD=180⁰
Similarly, ∠BOC + ∠DOA = 180⁰

 Now, let the right circular cylinder EFGH circumscribe the given solid. The radius of the base of
the right circular cylinder = HP = BO = 2 cm, and its height is
EH = AO + OP = (2 + 2) cm = 4 cm
So, the volume required = volume of the right circular cylinder – volume of the toy
= (3.14 × 22 × 4 – 25.12) cm3

Hence, the required difference of the two volumes = 25.12 cm3.

(iii) How far from the foot of the pole should he place the foot of the ladder? (Use √3 = 1.73) (2)
OR
(iii) Given 15 cot α = 8, find sin α. (2)
Ans: (i) tan α + 2 = 5
⇒ tan α = 5 – 2 =3
⇒ tan α = = tan 600
⇒ α = 600
(ii) BD = 3 cm and BC = 6 cm
BD
In ∆BCD, sinα 
BC
3 1
⇒ sinα   = sin300 ⇒ α = 300
6 2
(iii) BD = AD – AC = 5 – 1.3 = 3.7
BD
In ∆BCD, tan600 
DC
3.7
⇒  = 1.73
DC
⇒ DC = 3.7/1.73 = 2.14 m (approx.)

OR
cot α = 8/15
⇒ DC = 8 and BD = 15
From Pythagoras theorem,
BC2 = BD2 + DC2
⇒ BC2 = 152 + 82
⇒ BC = 225 + 64 = 289
⇒ BC = 17
⇒ sin α = BD/BC = 15/17

38. Aditya, Ritesh and Damodar are fast friend since childhood. They always want to sit in a row in the
classroom . But teacher doesn’t allow them and rotate the seats row-wise everyday. Ritesh is very
good in maths and he does distance calculation everyday. He consider the centre of class as origin

 and marks their position on a paper in a co-ordinate system. One day Ritesh make the following
diagram of their seating position marked Aditya as A, Ritesh as B and Damodar as C.

(i) What is the distance between A and B ? [1]

(ii) What is the distance between B and C ? [1]
(iii) A point D lies on the line segment between points A and B such that AD :DB = 4 : 3 . What are
the the coordinates of point D ? [2]
OR
(iii) If the point P(k, 0) divides the line segment joining the points A(2, –2) and B(–7, 4) in the ratio
1 : 2, then find the value of k [2]
Ans:
(i) It may be seen easily from figure that coordinates of point A are (- 2, 2).
AB2 = (− 2 + 1)2 + (2 + 2)2 = 1 + 42 = 17
⇒ AB = √17
(ii) It may be seen easily from figure that coordinates of point C are (3, 0).
BC2 = (− 1 − 3)2 + (− 2 − 0)2 = 42 + 4 = 20
⇒ BC = 2√5
