Question 1.
(a) Find xy, if x + y = 6 and x – y = 4.
Answer:
Given: x + y =6,x – y=4.
Now, 4xy =(x+y)²-(x-y)²
= 6² – 4²
=20
xy=\(\frac{20}{4}\)=5.

(b) Find the mean of first 10 prime numbers.
Answer:
First lo prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
∴ ∑ =129,n=10
Mean = \(\frac{\sum x}{n}=\frac{129}{10}=12.9\)

Answer:

(b) The area of a trapezium is 540 cm². If the ratio of parallel sides is 7 : 5 and the distance between them is 18 cm, find the length of parallel sides.
Answer:
Given : Area of trapezium = 510 cm²
Perpendicular distance between parallel lines = 18 cm
Ratio of parallel sides = 7 : 5
Let the length of parallel sides be 7x and 5x.
Area of trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (Sum of parallel sides) x Perpendicular distance

7x = 7 x 5 = 35
and 5x = 5 x 5 = 25
Hence, the length of parallel sides are 35 cm and 25 cm.

(c) Solve : (3x + 1) (2x + 3) = 3.
Answer:
(3x + 1) (2x + 3) = 3
6 x 2 + 9x + 2x + 3 – 3 = O
6 x 2 +11x = 0
x (6x + 11) = 0
x=0 or 6x+11=0
x = 0 or x=\(\frac{-11}{6}\)
x = 0 or \(\frac{-11}{6}\)

Question 4.
(a) Simplify: \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}+(0.04)^{-1 / 4}-(8)^{2 / 3}\)
Answer:

(b) In the figure, ABCD is a trapezium in which DA || CB. AB has been produced to E. Find the angles of the trapezium.

Answer:
Given: DA || CB
x + + 100 = 180° (Co-interior angles) … (i)
⇒ x+2y = 170°
Also, x + 25° = y (Corresponding angles) … (ii)
x – y= – 25°
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
3y = 195°
= \(y=\frac{195^{\circ}}{3}=65^{\circ}\)
Putting y = 65° in equation (ii), we get
X – 65° = – 25°
x = 65 – 25°=40°
∠A = x + 25° = 40°+ 25° = 65°
∠B = 180° – y= 180 – 650= 115°
∠C = 2y + 10° =2 x 65° + 10° = 1400
∠D = x = 40°

Answer:

(b) In ΔABC, AC = 3 cm. If M is the mid-point of AB and a straight line through M parallel to AC cuts BC at N, what is the length of MN ?

Answer:
Given : AC = 3 cm, M is the mid-point of AB, MN || AC.
Since, M the mid-point of AB and MN || AC
Therefore, by mid-point theorem, we have
MN = \(\frac{1}{2}\)AC= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 3cm = 1.5cm

Question 10.
(a) If sin (A + B) = 1 and cos (A – B) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), 0° < A + B ≤ 90°, A > B, then find A and B.
Answer:
sin (A + B) = 1 = sin 90°
A + B = 90°
cos (A – B) =\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = cos 30°
A – B = 30°
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
A + B + A – B = 90° + 30°
⇒ 2A = 120°
A = \(\frac{120^{\circ}}{2}\) = 60°
Putting A= 60° in (i), we get
60° + B = 90°
⇒ B = 90° – 60° = 30°
∴ A = 60°, B = 30°

(b) The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 5. The digit obtained by increasing the digit in ten’s place by unity is one-eighth of the number. Find the number.

Answer:
Let the digit at ten’s place be  and that at unit’s place be y.
∴ The number = 10x + y
By 1st condition,
x + y = 5
By 2nd condition,
x + 1 = \(\frac{1}{8}\) (10x + y)
⇒ 8 (x + 1) = 10x + y
⇒ 8x + 8 = 10x + y
⇒ 2x + y = 8
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
x = 3.
Putting x = 3 in (i), we get
3 + y = 5
⇒ y = 5 – 3 = 2
The required number = 10x + y = 10 x 3 + 2 = 32

(c) Given, log₁₀ x = a and log₁₀ y =
(i) Write down 10^a-1 in terms of x
(ii) Write down 10^2b in terms of y.
(iii) If log₁₀ P = 2a-b, express P in terms of x and y.

Question 11.
(a) Draw the graph of the equations 2x – 3y = 7 and x + 6y = 11 and find their solutions.
Answer:

The two lines intersect each other at the point (5, 1).
∴ x = 5, y = 1

(b) In the figure, area of ΔABD = 24 sq. units. If AB = 8 units, find the height of ΔABC.
Answer:
Given : Area of A ABD = 24 sq. units, AB = 8 units, DC || AB.
Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔABD
(∵ They are on same base and between same parallels)
= 24 sq. units.
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) x AB x Height of ΔABC = 24
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 8 x Height of ΔABC = 24
⇒ Height of Δ ABC = \(\frac{24}{4}\) = 6 units.

(c) If x – y = 8 and xy = 20, evaluate : (i) x + y (ii) x² – y².
Answer:
Given x – y – 8, xy = 20.
(i) (x + y)² = (x – y)² + 4 xy = 8² + 4 x 20 = 64 + 80 = 144
x + y = ± √144 = ± 12
x² – y² = (x + y) (x – y)
= (± 12) x 8
= ± 96.
