ANSWERS

Answer1) cos 75o/sin 15o + sin 12o/cos 78o – cos 18o/sin 72o = cos (90-15)o/sin 15o + sin (90-78)o/cos 78o – cos (90-72)o/sin 72o = sin 15o/sin 15o + cos 78o/cos 78o – sin 72o/sin 72o = 1 + 1 – 1 = 1 (ANS)
Answer2) (sec2A – 1)(1 – cosec2A ) = ((1+tan2A) – 1)(1 – ( 1 + cot2A )) = ( tan2A )( – cot2A ) = ( tan2A )( – 1/tan2A ) = – 1
Answer2) tan A = b/a ==> tan2A = b2/a2 ==> sin2A/cos2A = b2/a2 ==> sin2A/1 – sin2A = b2/a2 ==> a2sin2A = b2 – b2sin2A ==> a2sin2A + b2sin2A = b2 ==> sin2A (a2 + b2) = b2 ==> sin2A = b2/(a2 + b2)
Answer 4) Mean score of the cricketer after nine match = 58 ==> Total score of the cricketer after nine match = 58 x 9 = 522 Suppose the cricketer needs n runs to raise the mean score to 61. ==> Total runs scored by the cricketer after tenth match = 522 + n ==> Average runs scored by the cricketer after tenth match = 522 + n / 10 ==> 522 + n / 10 = 61 ==> 522 + n = 610 ==> n = 88 ==> Answer: Cricketer needs 88 runs to raise the mean score to 61.
Answer 5) Arrange the data in following way. 33, 35, 41, 46, 55, 58, 64, 77, 87, 90, 92 Total count of data n = 11 (odd number) Median = ((n + 1) / 2)th term = 6th term = 58 When 92 is replaced by 19 Then data will be be arranged in following order: 19, 33, 35, 41, 46, 55, 58, 64, 77, 87, 90 n = 11 (odd number) Median = ((11 + 1) / 2)th term = 6th term = 55 So the new median is 55.
Answer 6) Assume the list price of the motorcycle is : p ==> So tax charged amount: 12p/100 ==> So purchace price of motorcycle : p + 12p/100 ==> p + 12p/100 = 42952 ==> (100p + 12p)/100 = 42952 ==> 112p/100 = 42952 ==> 112p = 42952 x 100 ==> p = 4295200/112 ==> p = 38350 ==> So list price of the motorcycle is Rs 38350.00
Answer 7) Assume the radius of the hemispherical bowl is r. ==> So circumference of the edge of a hemispherical bowl = (22/7)(2r) ==> (22/7)(2r) = 132 ==> 44r = 132 x 7 ==> r = (132 x 7)/44 ==> r = 21 ==> Volume of hemispherical bowl = (1/2) x (4/3)Π(radius)3 ==> Volume of hemispherical bowl = (1/2) x (4/3) X (22/7) x (21)3 ==> Volume of hemispherical bowl = (2/3) X (22/7) x 21 x 21 x 21 ==> Volume of hemispherical bowl = 2 x 22 x 7 x 3 x 21 ==> Volume of hemispherical bowl = 19404
Answer 8) Find the value of c for which the quadratic equation 4x2 – 2(c + 1)x + (c + 4) = 0 has equal roots. Using following formulae, if ax2+bx+c=0 then x = (-b ±Ö (b2 – 4ac))/2a 4×2 – 2(c + 1)x + (c + 4) = 0 ==> x = (2(c + 1) ±Ö ((2(c + 1))2 – 4 . 4 . (c + 4)))/(2 . 4) ==> Equal roots if ((2(c + 1))2 – 4 . 4 . (c + 4)) = 0 ==> 4c2 + 8c + 4 – 16c -64 = 0 ==> 4c2 – 8c -60 = 0 ==> c2 – 2c -15 = 0 ==> (c – 5)(c + 3) = 0 ==> c = 5 OR c = -3
Answer 9) The ages of two girls are in the ratio 5 : 7. Eight years ago their ages were in the ratio 7 : 13. Find their present ages. (Marks 2) Assume current age of first girl is n1. Assume current age of second girl is n2. ==> n1/n2 = 5/7 ==> 7n1 = 5n2 ==> 7n1 – 5n2 = 0 ……….. (i) Eight years ago age of first girl is n1 – 8. Eight years ago age of second girl is n2 – 8. ==> (n1 – 8)/(n2 – 8) = 7/13 ==> 13n1 – 104 = 7n2 – 56 ==> 13n1 – 7n2 = 48 …………. (ii) ==> 91n1 – 65n2 = 0 ……..( by multiplying (i) by 13 ) ……… (iii) ==> 91n1 – 49n2 = 336 ……..( by multiplying (ii) by 7 ) ……. (iv) ==> Subtract (iv) minus (iii) ==> 16n2 = 336 ==> n2 = 21 ==> Now 7n1 = 5 n2 ==> 7n1 = 5 x 21 ==> n1 = 15So current age of first girl is 15. So current age of second girl is 21.
Answer 10) Find the value of k for which the system of equation 8x + 5y = 9, kx + 10y = 15 has no solution. ==> equation 8x + 5y = 9, kx + 10y = 15 will have no solution if ==> 8/k = 5/10 ==> k = 80/5 ==> k = 16
Answer 11) Find the G.C.D. of 24(4x2 – 9) and 18(2x2 + 5x – 12) (Marks 2) G.C.D meand Greatest Common Divisor First simplify 24(4x2 – 9) ==> = 24(2x – 3)(2x + 3) ………………….(i) Now simplify 18(2x2 + 5x – 12) ==> = 18(2x – 3)(x + 4) …………………..(ii) ==> By comparing (i) and (ii) ==> G.C.D = 6(2x – 3)
Answer 14) Determine the length of an altitude of an equilateral triangle of side 2a cm. (Marks 2) Assume length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle is : h ==> length of a side of the triangle : 2a ==> (2a)2 = h2 = (a)2 ==> h2 = 4a2 – a2 ==> h2 = 3a2 ==> h = aÖ3
