10 Two vertical poles of different heights are standing 20m away from each other 3
on the level ground. The angle of elevation of the top of the first pole from the
foot of the second pole is 60° and angle of elevation of the top of the second
pole from the foot of the first pole is 30°. Find the difference between the heights
of two poles. (Take √3 = 1.73)
OR
A boy 1.7 m tall is standing on a horizontal ground, 50 m away from a building.
The angle of elevation of the top of the building from his eye is 60°. Calculate
the height of the building. (Take √3 = 1.73)
Section-C

respectively. It is melted and recast into a solid cylinder of diameter 14cm, find
the height of the cylinder. Also find the total surface area of the cylinder.

(Take 𝜋 = 7 )
12 Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to 4
a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment joining the
points of contact to the centre.
OR
Two tangents TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external
point T. Prove that ∠𝑃𝑇𝑄 = 2∠𝑂𝑃𝑄
13 Case Study-1
Trigonometry in the form of triangulation forms the basis of navigation, whether

it is by land, sea or air. GPS a radio navigation system helps to locate our
position on earth with the help of satellites.
A guard, stationed at the top of a 240m tower, observed an unidentified boat
coming towards it. A clinometer or inclinometer is an instrument used for
measuring angles or slopes(tilt). The guard used the clinometer to measure the
angle of depression of the boat coming towards the lighthouse and found it to
be 30°.

i) Make a labelled figure on the basis of the given information and calculate 2
the distance of the boat from the foot of the observation tower.
ii) After 10 minutes, the guard observed that the boat was approaching the
tower and its distance from tower is reduced by 240(√3 - 1) m. He
immediately raised the alarm. What was the new angle of depression of 2
the boat from the top of the observation tower?
14 Case Study-2
Push-ups are a fast and effective exercise for building strength. These are
helpful in almost all sports including athletics. While the push-up primarily
targets the muscles of the chest, arms, and shoulders, support required from
other muscles helps in toning up the whole body.
Nitesh wants to participate in the push-up challenge. He can currently make
3000 push-ups in one hour. But he wants to achieve a target of 3900 push-ups
in 1 hour for which he practices regularly. With each day of practice, he is able
to make 5 more push-ups in one hour as compared to the previous day. If on
first day of practice he makes 3000 push-ups and continues to practice regularly
till his target is achieved. Keeping the above situation in mind answer the
following questions:
i) Form an A.P representing the number of push-ups per day and hence 2
find the minimum number of days he needs to practice before the day
his goal is accomplished?
2
ii) Find the total number of push-ups performed by Nitesh up to the day his
goal is achieved.
