(b) Factorize : 9x2 – 4 (y + 2x)2
Answer:
9x2 -4(y + 2x)2 = (3x)2 – {2 (y + 2x)}2
= (3x)2 – (2y + 4x)2
= (3x + 2y + 4x) (3x – 2y – 4x)
= (7x + 2y) (-x -2y)
= – (x + 2y) (7x + 2y).

(c) In the following figure, AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a line segment AB. Show that CD bisects AB.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 2 with Answers 1
Answer:
Given: AD = BC,
∠OAD = ∠OBC = 90°
In Δ OAD and ΔOBC,
AD =BC (Given)
ΔOAD = ΔOBC (Given)
Δ AOD =Δ BOC (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ΔOAD ≅ ΔOBC (SAS axiom)
∴ OA = OB (c.p.c.t.)
Hence, CD bisects AB. Hence Proved.

ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 2 with Answers

(c) Given: AB || CD, M and N are mid-points of sides AB and CD respectively.
Construction: Join OM, ON and draw a straight line parallel to AB and CD.
Since, line segment joining the mid-point of the chord with centre of the circle is perpendicular to the chord
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 2 with Answers 17
∴ OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD
⇒ ∠AMO = 90° and ∠NOE = 90°
Now, ∠MOE = 90° (Co-interior angles, OE || AB)
∠NOE = 90° (Co-interior angles, OE || CD)
∠MOE + ∠NOF =90° + 900 = 1800
So, MON is a straight line passing through the centre of the circle.
Hence Proved.

Question 5.
(a) Find a point on the Y-axis which is equidistant from the points A (6, 5) and B (- 4, 3).
Answer:
Given : A (6, 5), B (- 4, 3).
Let the point on the Y-axis be P (0, b).
According to the question,
AP = BP
⇒ AP2 = BP2
⇒ (6 – 0)2 + (5 – b)2 = (- 4 – 0)2 + (3 – b)2
⇒ 36 + 25 – 10b + V- = 16 + 9 – 6fo + b2
⇒ – 10b + 6b = 25 – 61
⇒  -4b =-36
⇒ b = 9
Required Point = (0,9)

(b) In the following figure, area of parallelogram ABCD is 29 cm2. Calculate the height of parallelogram ABEF, if AB = 5.8 cm.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 2 with Answers 2
Answer:
Area of parallelogram ABCD = 29 cm2, AB = 5.8 cm.
Area of parallelogram ABEF = 29 cm2 (area of parallelograms on same base are equal)
⇒ AB x Height = 29 cm2
⇒ \(\text { Height }=\frac{29 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{29 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}}{5.8 \mathrm{~cm}}=5 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Question 6.
(a) Construct the quadrilateral ABCD, given that AB = 5 cm, BC = 2.5 cm, CD = 6 cm,
∠BAD = 90° and the diagonal AC = 5.5 cm.
Answer:
Given : AB = 5 cm, BC = 2.5 cm, CD = 6 cm, Z BAD 90°,
AC = 5.5 cm.
Steps of construction :
(1) Draw AB 5 cm.
(2) At A, draw ∠BAP = 90°.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 2 with Answers 20

(3) From B and A, draw arcs of lengths 2.5 cm and 5.5 cm, respectively which intersect at C.
(4) From C, cut-off AP at D such that CD = 6 cm.
Thus, ABCD is the required quadrilateral.

(b) Factorize : (a + 1) (a + 2) (a + 3) (a + 4) – 3.
Answer:
(a + 1) (a + 2) (a + 3) (a + 4) – 3 = (a + 1) (a + 4) (a + 2) (a + 3) – 3
= (a2 + 5a + 4) (a2 + 5a + 6) – 3
= (p + 4) (p + 6) – 3  (Putting a2 + 5a = p)
= p2 + 6p + 4p + 24 – 3
= p2 + 10p + 21
= p2 + (7 + 3) p + 21
= p2 + 7p + 3p + 21
= p2 (p + 7) + 3 (p + 7) = (p + 7) (p + 3)
= (a2 + 5a + 7) (a2 + 5a + 3) (∵ p = a2 + 5a)

(c) In the following figure, D and E are mid-points of the sides AB and AC respectively. If BC = 6 cm and ∠B = 72°, compute (i) DE (ii) ∠ADE.

Question 9.
(a) The volume of a cuboidal block of silver is 10368 cm3. If its dimensions are in the ratio 3:2:1, find :
(i) Dimensions of the block.
(ii) Cost of gold polishing its entire surface at ₹0.50 per cm2.
Answer:
(a) (i) Ratio of dimensions = 3:2:1
Let its length, breadth and height be 3x cm, 2x cm and x cm respectively.
Volume of block = 3× x 2x × x = 10368
⇒ 6x3 = 10368
\(x^{3}=\frac{10368}{6}=1728 \Rightarrow x=12\)
Length (l) =3x = 3 × 12=36cm
Breadth (b) = 2x = 2 × 12=24cm
Height (h) =x = 12 cm

(b) \(\text { If } \frac{\log a}{b-c}=\frac{\log b}{c-a}=\frac{\log c}{a-b}, \text { prove that }: a^{a} . b^{b} \cdot c^{c}=1 \text { . }\)
Answer:
\(\frac{\log a}{b-c}=\frac{\log b}{c-a}=\frac{\log c}{a-b}=k(\text { say })\)
log a =k(b – c); log b = k(c-a); log c = k(a-b)
Now, a log a + b log c + c log c = ak (b – c) + bk (c – a) + ck (a – b)
⇒ log ab + log bb + log cc = kab – kac + kbc – kab + kac – kbc
⇒ log (aa. bb . cc) = 0
⇒ log (aa. bb . cc)= log 1
⇒ aa. bb. cc = 1.
Hence Proved.

(c) Prove that √2 is not a rational number.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 2 with Answers 5
Answer:
Let us assume that√2 is a rational number.
If \(\sqrt{2}=\frac{p}{q}, p, q \in \mathrm{I}\) have no comman factor and C”q≠ 0.
\(2=\frac{p^{2}}{q^{2}} \Rightarrow p^{2}=2 q^{2} \Rightarrow p^{2}\) C”is an even integer
⇒ p is an even integer
⇒ p = 2m, where m∈I
⇒ p2 = 4m2 ⇒ 2y2 = 4m2 ⇒ q2 = 2m2
⇒ q2 is an even integer
⇒ y is an even integer.
Thus, p and q are both even integers and therefore, have a common factor 2 which contradicts that p and q have no common factor.
√2 is not a rational number.
Hence Proved.
