SECTION B
Question numbers 5 to 10 carry 2 marks each.
5. In the following figure, two tangents RQ and RP are drawn from an external point R to the circle with
centre O, If ∠PRQ = 120˚, then prove that OR = PR + RQ.
Solution:
Given that m  PRQ = 120

We know that the line joining the centre and the external point is the angle bisector between the tangents.
120
Thus, mPRO  mQRO   60

Also we know that lengths of tangents from an external point are equal.
Thus, PR = RQ.
Join OP and OQ.
Since OP and OQ are the radii from the centre O,
OP  PR and OQ  RQ.
Thus,  OPR and  OQR are right angled congruent triangles.
Hence, POR  90  PRO  90  60  30
QOR  90QRO  90 60  30

6. In Figure 4, a ΔABC is drawn to circumscribe a circle of radius 3 cm, such that the segments BD and DC
are respectively of lengths 6 cm and 9 cm. If the area of Δ ABC is 54 cm2, then find the lengths of sides AB
and AC.
Solution:
Let the given circle touch the sides AB and AC of the triangle at points F and E respectively and let the
length of line segment AF be x.
Now, it can be observed that:
BF = BD = 6 cm (tangents from point B)
CE = CD = 9 cm (tangents from point C)
AE = AF = x (tangents from point A)
AB = AF + FB = x + 6
BC = BD + DC = 6 + 9 = 15
CA = CE + EA = 9 + x
2s = AB + BC + CA = x + 6 + 15 + 9 + x = 30 + 2x
s = 15 + x
s – a = 15 + x – 15 = x
s – b = 15 + x – (x + 9) = 6
s – c = 15 + x – (6 + x) = 9

(x  18)(x  3)  0
x  18 and x  3
As distance cannot be negative, x = 3
AC = 3 + 9 = 12
AB = AF + FB = 6 + x = 6 + 3 = 9

 10a  45d  235
 2a  9d  47 ...................(2)
Multiplying equation (2) by 6, we get
12a + 54d = 282 ………………....(3)
Subtracting (1) from (3), we get
12a  54d  282
()12a  31d  167
  
23d  115
d  5
Substituting value of d in (2), we have

a = 1
Thus, the given A.P. is 1, 6, 11, 16,..........
9. The points A(4, 7), B(p, 3) and C(7, 3) are the vertices of a right triangle, right-angled at B, Find the values

 AC 2  AB2  BC 2 .............(1)
Also, A     p, 3 and C  (7, 3)
Now, AC 2  (7  4)2  (3  7)2  (3)2  (4)2  9  16  25

BC 2  (7  p)2  (3  3)2  49  14 p  p2  0
 p2  14 p  49
From (1), we have
25= (p2 - 8p + 32)+ (p2 -14p +49)
 25 = 2p2- 22p +81
 2p2 - 22p +56= 0
 p2 - 11p + 28 = 0
 p2 - 7p - 4p+ 28 = 0
 p(p -7) – 4(p – 7) = 0
 (p – 7) (p – 4) = 0
 p = 7 and p = 4
10. Find the relation between x and y if the points A(x, y), B(-5, 7) and C(-4, 5) are collinear.

11. The 14th term of an A.P. is twice its 8th term. If its 6th term is -8, then find the sum of its first 20 terms.
Solution:
Here it is given that,
T14 = 2(T8)
⇒ a + (14 – 1)d = 2[a + (8 – 1)d]
⇒ a + 13d = 2[a + 7d]
⇒ a + 13d = 2a + 14d
⇒ 13d – 14d = 2a – a
⇒ – d = a …. (1)
Now, it is given that its 6th term is –8.
T6 = –8
⇒ a + (6 – 1)d = – 8
⇒ a + 5d = –8
⇒ –d + 5d = –8 [∵ Using (1)]
⇒ 4d = –8
⇒ d = –2
Subs. this in eq. (1), we get a = 2

Solution:
Here the jar contains red, blue and orange balls.
Let the number of red balls be x.
Let the number of blue balls be y.
Number of orange balls = 10
Total number of balls = x + y + 10
Now, let P be the probability of drawing a ball from the jar

 x 6
Subs. x = 6 in eq. (i), we get y = 8
Total number of balls = x + y + 10 = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24
Hence, total number of balls in the jar is 24.

21. The diagonal of a rectangular field is 16 metres more than the shorter side. If the longer side is 14
metres more than the shorter side, then find the lengths of the sides of the field.
Solution:
Let l be the length of the longer side and b be the length of the shorter side.
Given that the length of the diagonal of the rectangular field is 16 metres more than the shorter side.
Thus, diagonal = 16 + b
Since longer side is 14 metres more than shorter side, we have,
l = 14 + b
Diagonal is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Consider the following figure of the rectangular field.
By applying Pythagoras Theorem in  ABD, we have,

Diagonal2 = Length2 = Breadth2
 (16  b)2  (14  b)2  b2
 256  b2  32b  196  b2  28b  b2
 256  32b  196  28b  b2
 60  32b  28b  b2
 b2  4b  60  0
 b2  10b  6b  60  0
 b(b  10)  6(b  10)  0
 (b  6)(b  10)  0
 (b  6)  0 or (b  10)  0
 b  6 or b  10
As breadth cannot be negative, breadth = 10 m
Thus, length of the rectangular field = 14 + 10 = 24 m
22. Find the 60th term of the AP 8, 10, 12, ……., if it has a total of 60 terms and hence find the sum of its last
10 terms.
Solution:
Consider the given A.P. 8, 10, 12, …
Here the initial term is 8 and the common difference is 10 ‐ 8 = 2 and 12 ‐ 10 = 2
General term of an A.P. is tn and formula to find out tn is
tn  a  (n  1)d
 t60  8  (60  1)  2
 t60  8  59  2
 t60  8  118
 t60  126
We need to find the sum of the last 10 terms.
Thus,
Sum of last 10 terms = Sum of first 60 terms ‐ Sum of first 50 terms
n
Sn  2a  (n  1)d 

60
 S60  2  8  (60  1)  2
2
 S60  30 16  59  2
 S60  30 134 
 S60  4020
Similarly,
50
 S50  2  8  (50  1)  2
2
 S50  2516  49  2
 S50  25114 
 S50  2850
Thus the sum of last 10 terms =S60 – S50 = 4020 – 2850 = 1170
Therefore,
Sum of last 10 terms = Sum of first 60 terms ‐ Sum of first 50 terms
23. A train travels at a certain average speed for a distance of 54 km and then travels a distance of 63 km at
an average speed of 6 km/h more than the first speed. If it takes 3 hours to complete the total journey,
what is its first speed?
Solution:
Let x be the first speed of the train.
Distance
We know that = time
Speed
Thus, we have,
54 63
  3 hours
x x 6
54(x  6)  63x
 3
x(x  6)
 54(x  6)  63x  3x(x  6)
 54 x  324  63x  3x 2  18 x
 117 x  324  3x 2  18 x
 3x 2  117 x  324  18 x  0
 3x 2  99 x  324  0
 x 2  33x  108  0
 x 2  36 x  3x  108  0
 x(x  36)  3(x  36)  0
 (x  3)( x  36)  0
 (x  3)  0 or ( x  36)  0
 x  3 or x  36
Speed cannot be negative and hence initial speed of the train is 36 km/hour.
24. Prove that the lengths of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
Solution:
Consider the following diagram.
Let P be an external point and PA and PB be tangents to the circle.

We need to prove that PA = PB
Now consider the triangles  OAP and  OBP
m  A = m  B = 90
OP = OP [common]
OA = OB = radii of the circle
Thus, by Right Angle‐Hypotenuse‐Side criterion of congruence we have,
 OAP   OBP
The corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent.
Thus,
PA = PB
25. Prove that the tangent drawn at the mid-point of an arc of a circle is parallel to the chord joining the
end points of the arc.
Solution:
In the figure, C is the midpoint of the minor arc PQ, O is the centre of the circle and
AB is tangent to the circle through point C.
We have to show the tangent drawn at the midpoint of the arc PQ of a circle is parallel to the chord joining
the end points of the arc PQ.
We will show PQ || AB.
It is given that C is the midpoint point of the arc PQ.
So, arc PC = arc CQ.
 PC = CQ
This shows that  PQC is an isosceles triangle.

Thus, the perpendicular bisector of the side PQ of  PQC passes through vertex C.
The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre of the circle.
So the perpendicular bisector of PQ passes through the centre O of the circle.
Thus perpendicular bisector of PQ passes through the points O and C.
 PQ  OC
AB is the tangent to the circle through the point C on the circle.
 AB  OC
The chord PQ and the tangent PQ of the circle are perpendicular to the same line OC.
PQ || AB.
26. Construct a Δ ABC in which AB = 6 cm, ∠A = 30° and ∠B = 60°, Construct another ΔAB’C’ similar to ΔABC
with base AB’ = 8 cm.
Solution:
Construct the  ABC as per given measurements.
In the half plane of AB which does not contain C, draw AX such that BAX is an acute angle.
3) With some appropriate radius and centre A, Draw an arc to intersect AX at B1. Similarly, with centre B1
and the same radius, draw an arc to intersect BX at B2 such that B1B2 = B3B4 = B4B5 = B5B6 = B6B7 = B7B8
4) Draw B6B.
5) Through B8 draw a ray parallel to B6B. to intersect AY at B’.
6) Through B’ draw a ray parallel to BC to intersect AZ at C’.
Thus,  AB’C’ is the required triangle.
27. At a point A, 20 metres above the level of water in a lake, the angle of elevation of a cloud is 30°. The
angle of depression of the reflection of the cloud in the lake, at a A is 60°. Find the distance of the cloud
from A.
Solution:
Let AB be the surface of the lake and P be the point of observation such that
AP = 20 metres. Let C be the position of the cloud and C’ be its reflection in the lake.
Then CB = C’B. Let PM be perpendicular from P on CB.
Then m  CPM=30 and m  C'PM = 60
Let CM = h. Then CB = h + 20 and C’B = h + 20.
In CMP we have,
CM

In  PMC' we have,

 PM  ...................(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii), we get
h  20  20
3h 
3
 3h  h  40
 2h  40
 h  20 m
Now, CB = CM + MB = h + 20 + 20 + 20 = 40.
Hence, the height of the cloud from the surface of the lake is 40 metres.

n(S)  52C1  52
(i)There are 13 spade cards and 4 ace's in a deck As ace of spade is included in 13 spade cards, so there are

44 11
Probability of drawing a card which is neither a Jack nor a King = 
