51. We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how they actually
reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based
air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through a given section of controlled
airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. Actually, all
this air traffic is managed and regulated by using various concepts based on coordinate
geometry and trigonometry.

At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a point on the
ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the angle of elevation changes to
30°. The height of the plane remains constantly as 3000√3 m. Use the above information to
answer the questions that follow-
(i) Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation diagrammatically.
(ii) What is the distance travelled by the plane in 30 seconds?
(iii) Keeping the height constant, during the above flight, it was observed that after 15(√3 -1)

thezeroes of the polynomial is 2.
Solution:
As 2 is the zero of the polynomial.
We know that if α is a zero of the polynomial p(x), then p(α) = 0
Substituting x = 2 in x2 + 3x + p,
⇒ 22 + 3(2) + p = 0
⇒4+6+p=0

Section III
7 9 Find the quadratic polynomial if its zeroes are 0, √5.
Solution:
A quadratic polynomial can be written using the sum and product of its
zeroes as:
x2 – (α + β)x + αβ
1
Where α and β are the roots of the polynomial.
Here, α = 0 and β = √5 1
So, the polynomial will be:
x2 – (0 + √5)x + 0(√5)
= x2 – √5x
8 8 Write two solutions for the following equation:
3x + 4y = 7
Page 7 of 9
Sol : 3x + 4y =7 ….(1)
Step 1: Isolate above equation in y.
Subtract 3x from both the sides,
3x + 4y – 3x = 7 – 3x 1
4y = 7 – 3x
Divide each side by 4
y = 1/4 x (7 – 3x) ….(2)
Step 2: Find Solutions
Substituting x = 1 in (2)
y = 1/4 x (7 – 3) = 1/4 x 4 = 1
Thus x = 1 and y = 1 is the solution of 3x + 4y = 7
Again, Substituting x = 2 in (2)
y = 1/4 x (7 – 3 x 2) = 1/4 x 1 = 1/4 1
Thus x = 2 and y = 1/4 is the solution of 3x + 4y = 7
Therefore, (1, 1) and (2, 1/4) are two solution of 3x + 4y = 7.
9 7 The Sum of a two digit number and the number obtained by reversing
the order of its digits is 121. If units and ten’s digit of the number are x
and y respectively, then write the linear equation representing the above
statement.
Solution: 1
As per the statement given, the number is 10y + x.
On reversing the digits of the number, we get, 10x + y
Sum of the two numbers is 121. (Given)
10y + x + 10x + y = 121 1
11x + 11y = 121
x + y = 11
Which represents the required linear equation.
Or
A number is 27 more than the number obtained by reversing its digits. lf
its unit’s and ten’s digit are x and y respectively, write the linear
equation representing the statement.
Solution:
Given: The original number is 27 more than the number obtained by
reversing its digits
The given number is in the form of 10y + x. 1
Number produced by reversing the digits of the number is 10x + y.
As per statement:
10y + x = 10x + y + 27
10y – y + x – 10x = 27
9y – 9x = 27
9 (y – x) = 27
y–x=3 1
x – y+3 =0
Above equation represents the required linear equation.
Section IV
10 13 If one of the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 4x2 – 8kx – 9 is
equal in magnitude but opposite in sign of the other, find the value of k.
Answer:
Let one root of the given polynomial be α. 1
Page 8 of 9
Then the other root = -α 1
Sum of the roots = (-α) + α = 0
⇒ −b/a = 0 or −8k/4 = 0 or k = 0 1
11 12 If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial ax2 + bx + c, find the value
of α2 + β2.
Solution:
12 11 Solve 2x + 3y = 11 and 2x – 4y = – 24 and hence find the value of ‘m’

for which y = mx + 3.
Solution:
2x + 3y = 11… ..................................... (i)
2x – 4y = -24… .................................... (ii)
From equation (i), we get; 1
x = (11 – 3y)/2 ....................................................... (iii)
Putting the value of x in equation (ii), we get
2[(11 – 3y)/2] – 4y = −24
11 – 3y – 4y = -24
-7y = -35
y = 5… ..................................................... (iv) 1
Putting the value of y in equation (iii), we get;
x = (11 – 15)/2 = -4/2 = −2
Hence, x = -2, y = 5
Also,
y = mx + 3 1
5 = -2m +3
-2m = 2
m = -1
Therefore, the value of m is -1.
13 10 For which values of a and b does the following pair of linear equations
have an infinite number of solutions?
2x + 3y = 7
(a – b)x + (a + b)y = 3a + b – 2
Solution:
We have, 2x + 3y = 7…..(i)
(a – b) x + (a + b) y = 3a + b – 2 … (ii)
Here, a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = 7 and
a2 = a – b, b2 = a + b, c2 = 3a + b – 2 1
Page 9 of 9
For infinite number of solutions, we have
9a – 7a + 3b – 75 -6 = 0 ⇒ 2a – 45 – 6 = 0 => 2a – 4b = 6
⇒ a – 2b = 3 …(iv)
Putting a = 5b in equation (iv), we get
56 – 2b = 3 or 3b = 3 i.e., b = 33 =1
Putting the value of b in equation (ii), we get a = 5(1) = 5
Hence, the given system of equations will have an infinite number of 1
solutions for a = 5 and b = 1.
OR
For which value of k will the following pair of linear equations have no
solution?
3x + y = 1
(2k – 1)x + (k – 1)y = 2k + 1
Solution :
We have, 3x + y = 1, 3x + y − 1 = 0 …(i)
(2k – 1) x + (k – 1) y = 2k + 1 1
⇒ (2k – 1) x + (k – 1) y – (2k + 1) = 0 ……(ii)
Here, a1 = 3, b1 = 1, C1 = -1
a2 = 2k – 1, b2 = k – 1, C2 = -(2k + 1)
For no solution, we must have
1
⇒ 3k – 2k = 3 – 1 ⇒ k = 2
Hence, the given system of equations will have no solutions for k = 2. 1
Section V
14 15 Draw the graph of 2x + y = 6 and 2x – y + 2 = 0. Shade the region
bounded by these lines and x-axis. Find the area of the shaded region.
Solution:
We have, 2x + y = 6, ⇒ y = 6 – 2x
Page 10 of
9
When x = 0, we have y = 6 – 2 × 0 = 6
When x = 3, we have y = 6 – 2 × 3 = 0
When x = 2, we have y = 6 – 2 × 2 = 2
Thus, we get the following table: 1
Now, we plot the points A(0,6), B(3,0) and C(2, 2) on the graph paper.
We join A, B and C and extend it on both sides to obtain the graph of 1
the equation 2x + y = 6.
We have, 2x – y + 2 = 1 = y = 2x + 2
When x = 0, we have y = 2 × 0 + 2 = 2
When x = -1, we have y = 2 × (-1) + 2 = 0
When x = 1, we have y = 2 × 1 + 2 = 4
Thus, we have the following table:
1
For set A 2 Area is 4 sq.units.

15 14 Compute the zeroes of the polynomial 4x2 – 4x – 8. Also, establish a
Solution:
Let the given polynomial be p(x) = 4x2 – 4x – 8
Page 11 of
9
To find the zeroes, take p(x) = 0
Now, factorise the equation 4x2 – 4x – 8 = 0
4x2 – 4x – 8 = 0
4(x2 – x – 2) = 0 1
x2 – x – 2 = 0
x2 – 2x + x – 2 = 0
x(x – 2) + 1(x – 2) = 0 1
(x – 2)(x + 1) = 0
x = 2, x = -1 1
So, the roots of 4x2 – 4x – 8 are -1 and 2.
Relation between the sum of zeroes and coefficients:
-1 + 2 = 1 = -(-4)/4 i.e. (- coefficient of x/ coefficient of x2)
Relation between the product of zeroes and coefficients: 1
(-1) × 2 = -2 = -8/4 i.e (constant/coefficient of x2)
OR
Compute the zeroes of the polynomial 4u2 + 8u . Also, establish a 1
Solution :
We have, p(u) = 4u2 + 8u = p(u) = 4u (u + 2)
The zeros of polynomial p(u) is given by 1
p(u) = 0 ⇒ 4u (u + 2) = 0 .
∴ u = 0, -2
Thus, the zeros of 4u2 + 8u are α = 0 and β = -2 1
Now, sum of the zeros = α + β = 0 – 2 = -2

22 25 The sum of two numbers is 8. If their sum is four times their difference, 2
find the numbers.
Ans Let the numbers be ‘a’ and ‘b’.

22. Given that, sum of two numbers is 8.
⟹ a + b = 8 ...(1)
Also, their sum is four times their difference
⟹ a + b = 4(a – b)
⟹ a + b = 4a – 4b
⟹ 3a -5b = 0 ...(2)
Substituting value of 'a' from equation (2) in equation (1)
5
⇒ 3b + b = 8
5𝑏+3𝑏
⇒ 3 =8
⇒ 8b = 24
⇒b=3
Using this value of 'b' in (1), gives
a=8−3=5
Thus, a = 5 and b = 3.

Reena has pens and pencils which together are 40 in number. If she has 5
more pencils and 5 less pens, then number of pencils would become 4 times
the number of pens. Find the original number of pens and pencils.
Ans Let the number of pens be x and that of pencil be y,
22. As per given condition
Reena has total 40 pens and pencils.
So, x + y =40 ..........(i)
And if she has 5 more pencils and 5 less pens, then number of pencils
would become 4 times the number of pens.
So, y + 5 = 4( x- 5)
y + 5 = 4x - 20
4x - y = 25 ......... (ii)
Adding equation (i) and equation (ii), we get
x + 4x = 40 + 25
5x = 65
65
𝑥= = 13

Putting x = 13 in equation (i), we get

y = 40 - 13 = 27
Hence, Reena has 13 pens and 27 pencils.

27 33 Prove that √5 is irrational. 3
Ans Let us prove √5 irrational by contradiction.

27. Let us suppose that √5 is rational. It means that we have co-prime integers a
and b (b ≠ 0)
𝑎
Such that √5 = 𝑏
⟹ b√5 = a
Squaring both sides, we get
⟹ 5b2 = a2…..(1)
It means that 5 is factor of a2
Hence, 5 is also factor of a by Theorem. ... (2)
If, 5 is factor of a, it means that we can write a = 5c for some integer c.
Substituting value of a in (1) ,
5b2 = 25c2
⇒ b2 = 5c2
It means that 5 is factor of b2.
Hence, 5 is also factor of b by Theorem. ... (3)
From (2) and (3) , we can say that 5 is factor of both a and b .
But, a and b are co-prime .
Therefore, our assumption was wrong. √5 cannot be rational. Hence, it is
irrational.
28 32 Find the zeroes of quadratic polynomial given as: 6x2- 3 - 7x and also verify 3
the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
Ans We have been given the quadratic equation as: 6x2- 3 - 7x

28. First of all we will write it into standard form as: 6x2- 7x - 3
(Now we will factorize 7 such that the product of the factors is equal to - 18
and the sum is equal to - 7)
It can be written as
= 6x2+ 2x - 9x - 3
= 2x(3x + 1) - 3(3x + 1)
= (3x + 1)(2x - 3)
The value of 6x2- 3 - 7x
is zero when 3x+ 1 = 0 or 2x− 3 = 0,

i.e. X = − 3 𝑜𝑟 2

Therefore, the zeroes of 6x2− 3 − 7x are − 3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2

the values of 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑃 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝑃.
Ans Given that, 𝑃𝑅 + 𝑄𝑅 = 25 , 𝑃𝑄 = 5

31. Let 𝑃𝑅 be 𝑥.
∴ 𝑄𝑅 = 25 − 𝑥
By Pythagoras theorem ,
𝑃𝑅 2 = 𝑃𝑄 2 + 𝑄𝑅 2
𝑥 2 = (5)2 + (25 − 𝑥)2
𝑥 2 = 25 + 625 + 𝑥 2 − 50𝑥
50𝑥 = 650
𝑥 = 13
∴ 𝑃𝑅 = 13 𝑐𝑚

32 28 The wheels of a car are of diameter 80 cm each. How many complete 3
revolutions does each wheel make in 10 minutes when the car is travelling
at a speed of 66 km per hour ?
Ans
32. Diameter of the wheels of a car = 80 𝑐𝑚
Circumference of wheels = 2𝜋𝑟 = 2𝑟 × 𝜋 = 80 𝜋 𝑐𝑚

66 × 1000 × 100 × 10
Distance travelled by car in 10 minutes = =

1100000 𝑐𝑚/𝑠
No. of revolutions = Distance travelled by car/Circumference of wheels

1100000 1100000 × 7

34 36 A two-digit number is 4 more than 6 times the sum of its digits. If 18 is 5
subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed. Find the number.
Suppose the digits at units and tens place of the given number be x and y
Ans respectively.
34. ∴ the number is 10y+x
The number is 4 more than 6 times the sum of the two digits.
∴ 10y + x = 6(x + y)+ 4
⇒ 10y + x = 6x + 6y + 4
⇒ 6x + 6y − 10y − x = −4
⇒ 5x − 4y = −4 ....(i)
After interchanging the digits, the number becomes 10x+y
If 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed. Thus, we have
(10y + x)− 18 = 10x + y
⇒ 10x + y − 10y − x = −18
⇒ 9x − 9y = −18
⇒ 9(x − y)= −18
−18
⇒x − y = 9
⇒ x − y = −2 …..(ii)
So, we have the systems of equations
5x − 4y = −4,
x − y = −2
Here x and y are unknowns. We have to solve the above systems of
equations for x and y.
Multiplying the second equation by 5 and then subtracting from the first, we
have
(5x - 4y) - (5x - 5y) = -4 - (-2 × 5)
⇒ 5x − 4y − 5x + 5y = −4 + 10
⇒y=6
Substituting the value of y in the second equation, we have
x - 6 = -2
x=6-2
x=4
Hence, the number is 10 ×6 + 4 = 64
OR
Determine graphically whether the following pair of linear equations:
3x - y = 7
2x + 5y + 1 = 0 has:
i. a unique solution
ii. infinitely many solutions or
iii. no solution.
It is given that
3x - y = 7 .......(1)
2x + 5y+1 = 0 .........(2)
Hence, given pair of linear equations has a unique solution.
From (i) y = 3x - 7
and from (ii) 2x + 5y + 1 = 0

or, 5y = -1 - 2x
−1−2𝑥
or, 𝑦 = 5
Plotting these points we get the following graph
Clearly two lines intersect at point(2, -1)

Hence x = 2 and y = - 1

𝑎−5𝑏
Since 5, 2, a and b are integers, is rational, and so √3 is rational.

28 27 The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units, if its length is reduced
by
5 units and breadth is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3
units and
the breadth by 2 units, the area increases by 67 square units. Find the
dimensions
of the rectangle.
Sol. Let length and breadth be 𝑥 and 𝑦 respectively.
So, Area = 𝑥𝑦 1
Solving (1) and (2) 1

𝑥 = 17, 𝑦 = 9

There are some students in the two examination halls A and B. To make the
number of students equal in each hall, 10 students are sent from A to B. But
if 20
students are sent from B to A, the number of students in A becomes double
the
number of students in B. Find the number of students in the two halls.
Sol. Let the number of students initially in hall A be 𝑥. 1
and the number of students initially in hall B be 𝑦.
Case I: When number of students in both halls are equal.
∴ 𝑥 – 10 = 𝑦 + 10 1
⇒ 𝑥 – 𝑦 = 20 …(i)
Case II: When students in hall A becomes twice of students in hall B.
∴ 𝑥 + 20 = 2(𝑦 – 20)
⇒ 𝑥 + 20 = 2𝑦 – 40 1
⇒ 𝑥 − 2𝑦 = −60 ….(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), 𝑥 = 100, 𝑦 = 80
∴ Number of students initially in hall A = 100

30 29 Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend

supplementary angles at the centre of the circle.
Sol.
Given that a quadrilateral ABCD circumscribes a circle with centre O at points

P, Q, R, and S.
To prove : ∠AOB+∠COD = 180° , ∠BOC+∠DOA = 180°
Construction : Join OP, OQ, OR, OS 1½
Proof : In triangles OAP and OAS,

AP = AS (Tangents from the same point A)
OA = OA (Common side)
OP = OS (Radii of the circle)
So, by SSS congruency △OAP ≅ △OAS
∠1 = ∠2
Similarly, ∠4 = ∠3, ∠5 = ∠6, ∠7 = ∠8
Now by adding these angles we get,
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 = 360°
2∠1 + 2∠3 + 2∠7 + 2∠6 = 360°
Or (∠1 + ∠3) + (∠7 + ∠6) = 180°
Thus, ∠AOB+∠COD = 180°
Similarly, it can be proved that ∠BOC+∠DOA = 180° 1½

PQ is a chord of length 8 cm of a circle of radius 5 cm. The tangents at P and
Q intersect at a point T. Find the length TP.
Sol. Join OT.
Let it intersect PQ at the point R. Then Δ TPQ is isosceles and TO is the angle
bisector of ∠ PTQ.
So, OT ⊥ PQ and therefore, OT bisects PQ which gives
PR = RQ = 4 cm.
Also, OR = √𝑂𝑃2 − 𝑃𝑅 2 = √52 − 42 = 3 cm . 1

Now, ∠O is common ½
∠OPT = ∠ORP (Each 90°)
Therefore, triangle OPT is similar to the triangle ORP by AA similarity.
