Question 2.
(a) If a2 + b2 = 7ab, prove that 2 log (a + b) = log 9 + log a + log b.
Answer:
Given : a2 + b2 .= 7ab
⇒ a2 + b2 – 9ab – 2ab
⇒ a2 + b2 + 2ab = 9 ab
⇒ (a + b)2 = 9 ab
Taking log of both sides, we get
log (a + b)2 = log (9ab)
⇒ 2 log (a + b) = log 9 + log a + log b.

(b) Prove that: \(\tan ^{2} \theta-\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} \theta}+1=0\)
Answer:
To prove:
\(\tan ^{2} \theta-\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} \theta}+1=0\)
Consider L.H.S. = \(\tan ^{2} \theta-\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} \theta}+1\)
= tan2 θ- sec2 θ +1
= (1 + tan2 θ) – sec2 θ (∵ 1 + tan2 0 = sec2 0)
= sec2 θ – sec2 θ = θ= R.H.S.
Hence Proved

(c) In the given figure, two chords AB and CD of a circle intersect at P. If AB = CD, prove that arc AD = arc CB.
Answer:
AB = CD
Minor arc AB = Minor arc CD
Minor arc AB – minor arc BD = Minor arc CD – Minor arc BD
⇒ arc AD = arc CB.
Hence Proved.

Question 3.
(a) In the given figure, ∠ BCD = ∠ADC and ∠BCA = ∠ADB.
Show that: (i)ΔACD ≅ ΔBDC (ii) BC = AD (iii) ∠A = ∠B.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 4 with Answers 1
Answer:
Given: ∠BCD = ∠ADC
and ∠BCA = ∠ADB
=> ∠BCA + ∠BCD = ∠ADB + ∠BCD
=> ∠BCA + ∠BCD = ∠ADB + ∠ADC (v ∠BCD = ∠ADC)
=> ∠ACD = ∠BDC
In ΔACD and ΔBDC
(i) ∠ADC = ∠BCD (Given)
CD = CD (Common side)
⇒ ∠ACD = ∠BDC (Proved above)
∴ ΔACD ≅ ΔBDC (ASA axiom)
(ii) ∴BC = AD (c.p.c.t.)
(iii) ∴ ∠A = ∠B. (c.p.c.t.)
Hence Proved.

Question 4.
(a) The mean height of 10 girls in a class is 1.38 m and the mean height of 40 boys is 1.44 m. Find the mean height of 50 students of the class.
Answer:
Given : Mean height of 10 girls = 1.38 m
∴ Sum of heights of 10 girls = 1.38 x 10 = 13.8 m
and Mean height of 40 boys = 1.44 m
∴ Sum of heights of 40 boys = 1.44 x 40 = 57.6 m.
∴ Sum of heights of 50 students = 13.8 +57.6 = 71.4 m.
∴ Mean heights of 50 students \(\frac{71.4}{50}\)
=1.428m

(b) In the given figure, AABC is a right triangle with ∠C = 90° and D is mid-point of side BC. Prove that AB2 = 4AD2 – 3AC2.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 4 with Answers 2
Answer:
Given ∠C = 90°, D is the mid-point of BC.
∴ CD = BD
∴  In ΔABC,
AB2 = AC2 + BC(Pythagoras theorem)
= AC2 + (2CD)2 (∵ CD = BD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) BC)
AB2 = AC2 + 4 CD2  …(i)
In ΔACD,
AD2 = AC2 + CD2  (Pythagoras theorem)
⇒ CD2 = AD2 – AC2 …(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get
AB2 = AC2 + 4 (AD2 – AC2)
= AC2 + 4AD2 – 4AC2
= 4AD2 – 3AC2
 Hence Proved.

Question 5.
(a) Factorize : 5x2 + 17xy – 12y2.
Answer:
5x2 + 17xy – 12y2 = 5x2 + (20 – 3) xy – 12y2
= 5x2 + 20xy – 3xy – 12y2
= 5x(x + 4y) – 3y (x + 4y)
= (x + 4y) (5x – 3y).

(b) If twice the son’s age in years is added to the father’s age, the sum is 70. But if twice the  father’s age is added to the son’s age, the sum is 95. Find the ages of father and son.
Answer:
Let father’s age be x years and that of son’s be y years.
By 1st condition, x + 2y = 70 …(i)
By 2nd condition, 2x + y = 95 …(ii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 2, we get
4x + 2y = 190
Subtracting equation (iii) from equation (i), we get
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 4 with Answers 10
⇒ 40 +2y = 70
⇒ 2y = 70 – 40
⇒ \(y=\frac{30}{2}=15\)
∴ Father’s age is 40 years and son’s age is 15 years.

(c) In a ΔABC, E and F are the mid-points of AC and AB respectively. The altitude AP to BC intersects FE at Q. Prove that AQ = QP.
Answer:
Given: E, F are mid-points of sides AC and AB, respectively.
ICSE Class 9 Maths Sample Question Paper 4 with Answers 11
We know, the line joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side
FE || BC
⇒ FQ || BP
Now, since F is mid-point of AB and FQ || BP
∴ By converse of mid-point theorem,
⇒ Q is the mid-point of AP.
AQ = QP. Hence Proved.

(b) The side of a square exceeds the side of another square by 3 cm and the sum of the areas of the two squares is 549 cm2. Find the perimeters of the squares.
Answer:
Let the side of one square be x cm
Then, side of other square = (x + 3) cm.
Area of two squares are x2 cm2 and (x + 3)2 cm2, respectively.
According to the question,
x2 + (x + 3)2 = 549 ⇒ x2 + x2 + 6x + 9 = 549
⇒ 2x2 + 6x – 540 = 0
⇒ x2 + 3x – 270 = 0
⇒ x2 + (18 – 15)x – 270 =0
⇒ x2 + 15x – 15x – 270 =0
⇒ x (x + 18) – 15 (x + 18) =0
⇒ (x + 18) (x – 15) =0
⇒ x = – 18 or 15
∴ x – 15      (∵ x cannot be negative)
∴ x+ 3 =15+ 3 = 18
∴ Perimeter of one square = 4 x 15 = 60 cm
and Perimeter of other square = 4 x 18 = 72 cm

(b) Solve by the substitution method :
5x + 4y – 4 = 0; x – 20 = 12y.
Answer:
Given: 5x+4y – 4 =0 ………..(i)
and x – 20 =12y ………… (2)
From (ii), x = 12y + 20 ……. (3)
Putting x = 12 + 20 in equation (i), we have
5(12y+20)+4y – 4 =0
⇒ 60y+100+4y – 4=0
⇒ 64y = – 96
⇒ \(y=-\frac{96}{64}=-\frac{3}{2}\)
From (iii), x = 12 x \(\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)\) +20 = 2
x = 2,y = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
