(A) 10
(B) -10
(C) 5
(D) -5
Solution:
(B) -10
Explanation Let p(x) = x2 + 3x + k
∴ p(2) = (2)2 + 3(2) + k
2 is a zero of the polynomial p(x).
p(2) = 0
ie., 4 + 6 + k= 0
⇒ k = -10
Question 4.
The quadratic equation 2x2 – √5x + 1 = 0 has
(A) two distinct real roots
(B) two equal real roots
(C) no real roots
(D) more than 2 real roots
Solution:
(C) no real roots
Explanation : 2x2 – √5x + 1 = 0
On comparing with ax2 + bx + c =0
a = 2,b = -√5, c = 1
Discriminant = b2 – 4ac = (-√5)2 – 4(2)(1)
= 5 – 8 = -3 < 0
Therefore, the equation has no real roots.
Question 5.
Graphically, the pair of equations x = 9 and y = 17 represents two lines which are
(A) intersecting at (17, 9)
(B) intersecting at (9, 17)
(C) coincident
(D) parallel
Solution:
(B) intersecting at (9, 17)
Explanation : Given equations are x = 9, y = 17 in standard form x + 0 .y – 9 = 0 and 0.x + y – 17 = 0
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{1}{0}, \frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{0}{1} \\
& \frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-9}{-17}=\frac{9}{17}
\end{aligned}\)
Since, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} \neq \frac{b_1}{b_2}\)
Hence, given lines are intersecting at x = 9, y = 17
ie., (9,17)
Question 6.
In which ratio the y-axis divides the line segment joining the points (5, – 6) and (-1, – 4).
(A) 1:5
(B) 5:1
(C) 1:1
(D) 1:2
Solution:
(B) 5:1
Explanation : Let the required point be P(0, a) and required ratio AP: PB = k: 1.
\(0=\frac{k(-1)+1(5)}{k+1}\)
⇒ -k + 5 = 0
⇒ k = 5
Hence, required ratio is 5: 1.
Question 7.
In the given figure, if TP and TQ are tangents to a circle with centre O, so that ∠POQ = 110°, then ∠PTQ is
(A) 110°
(B) 90°
(C) 80°
(D) 70°
Solution:
(D) 70°
Explanation: Given, ∠POQ = 110°
Since, the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact
∠OPT = 90°, ∠OQT = 90°
Now i in quadrilateral ∠PTQ, ∠POQ + ∠OQT + ∠QTP + ∠TPO = 360°
110° + 90° + ∠QTP + 90° = 360°
∠QTP = 70°
Question 8.
In the figure given below, two line segments AC and BD intersect each other at the point P such that PA = 6 cm, PB = 3.cm, PC = 2.5 cm, PD = 5 cm, ∠APB = 50° and ∠CDP = 30°. Then, ∠PBA is equal to
(A) 50°
(B) 30°
(C) 60°
(D) 100°
Solution:
(D) 100°
In the given figure, PB \(\frac{P A}{P B}=\frac{6}{3}\) = 2 and \(\frac{P D}{P C}=\frac{5}{2.5}\) = 2
Thus, in ΔAPB ∼ ΔDPC,
and ∠APB = ∠DPC (vertically opposite angle)
By SAS similarity, we get ΔAPB ∼ ΔDPC.
∠PAB = ∠PDC = 30°
Now in Triangle APB,
∠PAB + ∠PBA + ∠APB = 180° (Angle sum property of triangle)
30 + ∠PBA + 50 = 180
∠PBA = 100
Hence, ∠PBA = 100°.
Question 9.
From a point Q, the length of the tangent to a circle is 24 cm and the distance of Q from the centre is 25 cm. The radius of the circle is
(A) 7 cm
(B) 12 cm
(C) 15 cm
(D) 245 cm
Solution:
(A) 7 cm
Explanation: Let O be the centre of the circle.
Given that, OQ = 25 cm and PQ = 24cm
We know that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact, OP ⊥ PQ
In ΔOPQ, we have
By Pythagoras theorem,
OP2 + PQ2 = OQ2
OP2 + 242 = 252
OP2 + 576 = 625
OP2 = 625 – 576
OP2 = 49
OP = 7cm
Therefore, the radius of the circle is 7 cm.
Question 10.
Given that sec θ = √2, the value of is
(A) 2√2
(B) √2
(C) 3√2
(D) 2

sec θ = √2 …(i)
Also, sec 45° = √2 …(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
θ = 45°
Put value of θ in \(\frac{1+\tan \theta}{\sin \theta}\),
\(\frac{1+\tan \theta}{\sin \theta}=\frac{1+\tan 45^{\circ}}{\sin 45^{\circ}}\)
\(=\frac{1+1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\)
Or, = 2 √2
Question 11.

Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 + 7x + 10 and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
Solution:
Let p (x) = 2 + 7x +e 10 for the zeroes of the Polynomial put p(x) =0
x2 + 7x + 10 = 0
x2 + 5x + 2x + 10 = 0
x(x + 2) + 2(x + 5) = 0
(x + 2) (x + 5) = 0
x = -2 and x = -5

800-900 | 7 | 72 + x + y |
900-1000 | 4 | 76 + x + y |
Total | N = 100 |
Also, 76 + x + y = 100
⇒ x + y = 100 – 76 = 24
Given, Median = 525, which lies between class 500 – 600.
⇒ Median class = 500 – 600
Now, Median = i + \(\frac{\frac{N}{2}-c . f}{f}\) × h
⇒ 525 = 500 + \(\left[\frac{\frac{100}{2}-(36+x)}{20}\right]\) × 100
⇒ 25 = (50 – 36 – x)5
⇒ 14 – x = 25/2 = 5
⇒ x = 14 – 5 = 9
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
y = 24 – 9 = 15
Hence, x = 9 and y = 15.

a + 11,000 = 16,000
a = 5,000
(ii) Production during 8th year is (a + 7d) = 5000 + 7(2200) = 20400
(iii) Production during first 3 year
= 5000 + 7200 + 9400
= 21600
OR
In which year, the production is = ₹ 29,200.
Solution:
an = 29,20
a+ (n – 1)d = 29,200
(n – 1)2,200 = 29,200 – 5,000
2200n – 2,200 = 24,200
2200n = 26,400
n = \(\frac{26,400}{2,200}\)
n = 12
In 12th year, the production is ₹ 29,200.

Then, AS \(\begin{aligned}
& =\left|\sqrt{(15-1)^2+(8-8)^2}\right| \\
& =\sqrt{(14)^2}
\end{aligned}\) = 14
OR
Refer to front view, find the co-ordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points A and B in the ratio 1 : 3 internally.
Solution:
The coordinates of A = (1, 8)
The coordinates of B = (4, 10)
and, m = 1 and n = 3
then, (x, y) \(\begin{aligned}
& =\left(\frac{1 \times 4+3 \times 1}{1+3}, \frac{1 \times 10+3 \times 8}{1+3}\right) \\
& =\left(\frac{7}{4}, \frac{34}{4}\right)
\end{aligned}\)
= (1.75, 8.5)
Question 38.
‘Skysails’ is that genre of engineering science that uses extensive utilization of wind energy to move a vessel in the sea water. The sky sails technology allows the towing kite to gain a height of anything between 100 m to 300 m. The sailing kite is made in such a way that it can be raised to its proper elevation and then brought back with the help of a telescopic mast that enables the kite to be raised properly and effectively.
(i) In the given figure, tan θ = cot 60 where θ is acute angles, find the value of 8.
(ii) Find the value of tan 30°. cot 60°.
