22. Let the two adjacent angles be 3x° and 2x°.
Then,
3x° + 2x° = 180° (∵ Sum of the two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°)
⇒ 5x° = 180°
∘
∘ 180
⇒ x =
5

⇒ x° = 36°
⇒ 3x° = 3 × 36° = 108°

and 2x° = 2 × 36° = 72°

Since, the opposite angles of a parallelogram of equal measure, therefore the measures of the angles of the parallelogram are 72°,
108°, 72° and 108°.
OR
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral, such that
∠ A = ∠ C, ∠ B = ∠ D and also ∠ A + ∠ C = 180°, ∠ B + ∠ D = 180°

Now, ∠ A + ∠ A= 180°
⇒ 2∠ A = 180°

⇒ ∠ A = 90°

Similarly, ∠ B = 90°
Hence, each angle is a right angle.
23. From the graph it is clear that
Sum of the central angles for Social Science and Mathematics.
= 65° + 90°
= 155°
Sum of the central angles for Science and Hindi.
= 80° + 70°
= 150°
Hence, the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than in Science and Hindi.
24. We have, The prime factorization of 5832 is

−−−− −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− −
Therefore, √5832 = √2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

25. The first expression = 4y(3y2 + 5y – 7) = (4y × 3y2 ) + (4y × 5y) + (4y × (–7)) = 12y3 + 20y 2 – 28y
The second expression = 2(y3 – 4y2 + 5) = 2y3 + 2 × (– 4y2 ) + 2 × 5 = 2y3 - 8y2 + 10
Adding the two expressions,

Thus, the sum is 14y3 + 12y2 - 28y + 10

OR
Given, cost of a chocolate = ₹ (x + 4)
Rohit bought (x + 4) chocolates
∴ The cost of (x + 4 )chocolates = Cost of one chocolate × Number of chocolates = (x + 4)(x + 4 )= (x + 4)2

Page 10 of 16
 ∴ The total amount paid by Rohit = ₹(x2 + 8x + 16) [∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]
Now, if x = 10. Then, the amount paid by Rohit = 102 + 8 × 10+ 16 = 100 + 80 + 16 = ₹196

Let the number of plants in each row be x.
Then, number of rows = number of plants in each row = x

Total plants = x × x = x2
According to the question, x2 = 1024
−−−− −−−−−−
⇒ x = √1024 = √32 × 32

x = 32 Hence, there are 32 plants in each row.

x = 29.67kg

So, the first bag contains the sugar = 23.73 kg

Second bag contains the sugar = 29.67× 4

= 23.73kg

and third bag contains the sugar = 91

250

32. Let the radius and height of the cylinder be r and h, respectively.
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2π rh
Area of base = π r2
Sum of areas of bases = 2π r2

= 49.5 × 1000 L . . . . [∵ 1 m3 = 1000 L ]
= 49500 L
Hence, the quantity of milk that can be stored in the tank is 49500 litres.

34. 24 (x2yz + xy2z + xyz2)

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × [(x × x × y × z) + (x × y × y × z) + (x × y × z × z)]
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × x × y × z × (x + y + z) [By taking out the common factor]
= 8 × 3 × xyz × (x + y + z)
Now, 24(x2yz + xy2z + xyz2) ÷ 8xyz
8×3×xyz×(x+y+z)
= 8×xyz
= 3 × (x + y + z) = 3(x + y + z)

∠T P S = 180

We know that, ∠SP Q = 90 ∘

∘
⇒ ∠T P S + ∠T P Q = 90
∘ ∘
⇒ 54 + ∠T P Q = 90
∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ ∠T P Q = 90 − 54 = 36

OR
i. Yes (opposite sides of a rectangle)
ii. Yes, since, AB ∥ CD, AC is a transversal and they are alternate angles.
iii. Since DQ and BP are perpendiculars from D and B, respectively on AC, therefore, ∠DQA = ∠BPC = 90°.
Thus DQ ∥ BP (if the alternate angles are equal the lines are parallel)
Also AD ∥ BC and AC is the transversal.
∴ ∠DAQ = ∠BCP (Alternate angles)
Since ∠DQA = ∠BPC and ∠DAQ = ∠BCP,
∴ ∠ADQ = ∠CBP
Now in ΔDAQ and ΔBCP, we have
∠DAQ = ∠BCP
∠ADQ = ∠CBP
DA = BC
∴ ΔDAQ ≅ ΔBCP (by ASA condition of congruence)
iv. Yes, (corresponding parts of congruent triangle ΔDAQ and ΔBCP)

The pie chart is as follows:

37. We have given that principal (P)= ₹40000

,= 40000(1 + 100

108
= 40000 × 100

∴ Amount, A = 400 × 108

= ₹43200
∴ Compound interest, Cl = A - P

= ₹43200 - ₹40000
= ₹3200
ii. Amount of 1st year = Principal of Ilnd year
= ₹43200
iii. Now, for Ilnd year,
Principal = ₹43200
Rate of interest, R= 8% per annum
Time, n = 1 yr
Amount for llnd year = 43200

= ₹46656
Compound interest, Cl = A - P
= ₹46656 - ₹43200
= ₹3456
iv. Now, if period i.e. time (n) = 2 yr,
Principal = ₹ 40000
and rate (R) = 8% per annum

38. i. First Cuboidal Box
l = 60 cm
b = 40 cm
h = 50 cm
∴ Total surface area

= 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (60 × 40 + 40 × 50 + 50 × 60)
= 2 (2400 + 2000 + 3000)
= 2 (7400)
= 14800 cm2
ii. Second Cuboidal Box
l = 50 cm
b = 50 cm
h = 50 cm
∴ Total surface area
= 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (50 × 50 + 50 × 50 + 50 × 50)
= 2 (2500 + 2500 + 2500)
= 2 (7500)
= 15000 cm2
Hence, the box (a) requires the least amount of material to make.

As the length of cloth increases, cost of the cloth also increases in the same ratio. It is a case of direct proportion.
