Question 1.
(a) Factorize : 8(a – 2b)2 – 2a + 4b – 1
Answer:
8 (a – 2b)2 -2a + 4b – 1 = 8 (a- 2b)2 -2(a – 2b) – 1
a – 2b = x
Then, the expression becomes
= 8x2 – 2x – 1
= 8x2 – 4x + 2x – 1
= 4x (2x – 1) + 1 (2x – 1)
= (2x – 1) (4x + 1)
= {2 (a- 2b) – 1} {4 (a – 2b) + 1} (Putting x-a-2b)
= (2a – 4b – 1) (4a- 8b + 1)

Question 2.
(a) A man borrowed ₹15,000 for 2 years. The rate of interest for the two successive years are 8% and 10% respectively. If he repays ₹6,200 at the end of first year, find the outstanding amount at the end of the second year.
Answer:
(a) For 1st year : P = ₹ 15,000, R = 8% p.a.
\(\mathrm{I}=\frac{15000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}\) = ₹ 16,200
A = P + I = 15,000 + 1,200 =₹16,200
Amount of money repaid = ₹ 6,200
For 2nd year : P = 16,200 – 6,200 = ₹10,000, R = 10% p.a.
\(\mathrm{I}=\frac{10,000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}\) = = ₹1,000
∴ A =P+I=10,000+1,000=11,000
∴ The amount outstanding at the end of 2nd year = 11, 000.

(b) Solve for x if log2 (x2 – 4) = 5.
Answer:
Given: log2(x2 – 4) = 5
x2 – 4 =25
x2 =32 + 4
X = ±√36= ±6.

(c) In the following figure, AB is a diameter of a circle with centre O. If chord AC = chord AD,
prove that (i) arc BC = arc DB (ii) AB is bisector of ∠CAD.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 3 with Answers 1

Answer:
(i) Given: chord AC = chord AD
⇒ arc AC = arc AD …(i)
Also, arc ACB = arc ADB (AB is a diameter) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
arc ACB – arc AC = arc ADB – arc AD
⇒ arc BC = arc DB. Hence Proved.

(ii) ∵ arc BC = arc BD (Proved above)
∴ ∠BAC = ∠DAB
⇒ AB is bisector of ∠CAD.
Hence Proved.

Question 4.
(a) If a + b + 2c = 0, prove that a3 + b3 + 8c3 – 6abc = 0.
Answer:
Given : a + b + 2c = 0
⇒ a + b = – 2c
Cubing both sides, we get
(a + b)3 = (- 2c)3
⇒ a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b) = – 8c3
⇒ a3 + b3 + 3ab (- 2c) = – 8c3
⇒ a3 + b3 + 8c3 – 6abc = 0.
Hence Solved.

(b) Express \(0.1 \overline{34}\) in the form \(\frac{p}{q}\) ,p, q ∈ Z and q ≠ 0.
Answer:
Let x = \(0.1 \overline{34}\) = 0.1343434…
Multiplying both sides of (i) by 10, we get
10x = 1.343434 ………(i)
Multiplying both sides of (ii) by 100, we get
1000x = 134.3434 ………….(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (iii), we get
1000x – 10x= 134.3434 … – 1.3434 ……………

(b) Solve:
83x – 67y = 383
67x – 83y = 367.
Answer:
83x – 67y = 383 ………….(i)
67a – 83y = 367 ………….(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
150x – 150y = 750
x – y = 5 ………. (iii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
16x + 16y = 16
x + y = 1 ……… (iv)
Adding (iii) and (iv), we get
2x = 6
X = 3
Putting x = 3 in (iv), we get
3 + y = 1
⇒ y = 1 – 3 = -2.
x = 3, y = – 2

(b) The sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing the order of its digits is 165. If the digits differ by 3, find the number.
Answer:
Let the digits in tens and units place be x and y respectively.
The number = 10x + y
The number obtained by reversing digits = 10y + x By 1st condition,
(10 + y) + (10y + x) = 165
⇒ 11x + 11y = 165
⇒ x + y =15 …(ii)
By 2nd condition, x-y =3 …(iii)
or y-x =3 …(iv)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get 2x = 18
⇒ x =9
Putting x = 9 in (ii), we get y = 15 – 9 = 6
Again, adding (ii) and (iv), we get
2 y =18
⇒ y =9
Putting y = 9 in (ii), we get x = 15 – 9 = 6.
Substituting these values in (i), we get
The number = 10 x 9 + 6 or 10 x 6 + 9 = 96 or 69
