10th Std Maths Quarterly Exam 2024 - Salem District | Question Paper with Solutions

PART - A

1. If there are 1024 relations from a set A = {1,2,3,4,5} to a set B, then the number of elements in B is ...
  • a) 3
  • b) 2
  • c) 4
  • d) 8
Answer: b) 2
Explanation:
Given, n(A) = 5. The number of relations from A to B is given by \(2^{n(A) \times n(B)}\).
We have \(2^{n(A) \times n(B)} = 1024\).
We know that \(1024 = 2^{10}\).
So, \(n(A) \times n(B) = 10\).
\(5 \times n(B) = 10 \Rightarrow n(B) = \frac{10}{5} = 2\).
2. If the ordered pairs (a, -1) and (5, b) belong to {(x,y) / y = 2x + 3}, then the values of 'a' and 'b' are ...
  • a) (-13, 2)
  • b) (2, 13)
  • c) (2, -13)
  • d) (-2, 13)
Answer: d) (-2, 13)
Explanation:
For (a, -1): Substitute x=a and y=-1 in y = 2x + 3.
\(-1 = 2a + 3 \Rightarrow 2a = -4 \Rightarrow a = -2\).
For (5, b): Substitute x=5 and y=b in y = 2x + 3.
\(b = 2(5) + 3 \Rightarrow b = 10 + 3 = 13\).
So, the values are a = -2 and b = 13.
3. The least number that is divisible by all the numbers from 1 to 10 (both inclusive) is ...
  • a) 2025
  • b) 5220
  • c) 5025
  • d) 2520
Answer: d) 2520
Explanation:
We need to find the LCM of numbers from 1 to 10.
Prime factors: 2, 3, 5, 7.
Highest powers: \(2^3=8\), \(3^2=9\), \(5^1=5\), \(7^1=7\).
LCM = \(2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 7 = 8 \times 9 \times 5 \times 7 = 72 \times 35 = 2520\).
4. If \(t_n\) is the nth term of an A.P. then \(t_{2n} - t_n\) is ...
  • a) nd
  • b) 2nd
  • c) 2d
  • d) 3nd
Answer: a) nd
Explanation:
We know that \(t_k = a + (k-1)d\).
\(t_{2n} = a + (2n-1)d\)
\(t_n = a + (n-1)d\)
\(t_{2n} - t_n = [a + (2n-1)d] - [a + (n-1)d]\)
\(= (2n-1-n+1)d = nd\).
5. The sequence \(\sqrt{11}, \sqrt{55}, 5\sqrt{11}, 5\sqrt{55}, 25\sqrt{11},...\) represents ...
  • a) an A.P. only
  • b) a G.P. only
  • c) neither A.P nor G.P
  • d) both A.P and G.P
Answer: b) a G.P. only
Explanation:
Common ratio \(r = \frac{t_2}{t_1} = \frac{\sqrt{55}}{\sqrt{11}} = \sqrt{\frac{55}{11}} = \sqrt{5}\).
\(\frac{t_3}{t_2} = \frac{5\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{55}} = \frac{5\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5}\sqrt{11}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{5}\).
Since the common ratio is constant, it is a G.P.
6. If (x - 6) is the HCF of \(x^2 - 2x - 24\) and \(x^2 - kx - 6\) then the value of k is ...
  • a) 3
  • b) 5
  • c) 6
  • d) 8
Answer: b) 5
Explanation:
If (x-6) is a factor, then x=6 must be a root of both polynomials.
For \(x^2 - kx - 6\), substitute x = 6:
\((6)^2 - k(6) - 6 = 0\)
\(36 - 6k - 6 = 0\)
\(30 - 6k = 0 \Rightarrow 6k = 30 \Rightarrow k = 5\).
7. Which of the following should be added to make \(x^4 + 64\) a perfect square?
  • a) 4x²
  • b) 16x²
  • c) 8x²
  • d) -8x²
Answer: b) 16x²
Explanation:
\(x^4 + 64 = (x^2)^2 + 8^2\).
To make it a perfect square in the form \((a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\), we need the middle term \(2ab\).
Here \(a = x^2\) and \(b = 8\).
\(2ab = 2(x^2)(8) = 16x^2\).
8. A quadratic equation whose one zero is 5 and the sum of the zeroes is 0 is given by the equation ...
  • a) x² - 5x = 0
  • b) x² - 5x + 5 = 0
  • c) x² - 25 = 0
  • d) x² - 5 = 0
Answer: c) x² - 25 = 0
Explanation:
Let the zeroes be \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\).
Given \(\alpha = 5\) and sum of zeroes \(\alpha + \beta = 0\).
\(5 + \beta = 0 \Rightarrow \beta = -5\).
Product of zeroes = \(\alpha\beta = 5 \times (-5) = -25\).
The quadratic equation is \(x^2 - (\text{sum})x + (\text{product}) = 0\).
\(x^2 - (0)x + (-25) = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 - 25 = 0\).
9. The perimeters of two similar triangles \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle PQR\) are 36cm and 24cm respectively. If PQ = 10 cm, the length of AB is ...
  • a) \(6\frac{2}{3}\) cm
  • b) \(\frac{10\sqrt{6}}{3}\) cm
  • c) \(66\frac{2}{3}\) cm
  • d) 15 cm
Answer: d) 15 cm
Explanation:
The ratio of the perimeters of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.
\(\frac{\text{Perimeter}(\triangle ABC)}{\text{Perimeter}(\triangle PQR)} = \frac{AB}{PQ}\)
\(\frac{36}{24} = \frac{AB}{10} \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} = \frac{AB}{10}\)
\(AB = \frac{3 \times 10}{2} = 15\) cm.
10. In a \(\triangle ABC\), AD is the bisector of \(\angle BAC\). If AB = 8cm, BD = 6cm and DC = 3cm. The length of the side AC is ...
  • a) 6 cm
  • b) 4 cm
  • c) 3 cm
  • d) 8 cm
Answer: b) 4 cm
Explanation:
By Angle Bisector Theorem,
\(\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{BD}{DC}\)
\(\frac{8}{AC} = \frac{6}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{8}{AC} = 2\)
\(AC = \frac{8}{2} = 4\) cm.
11. The straight line given by the equation x = 11 is ...
  • a) Parallel to x axis
  • b) parallel to y axis
  • c) passing through the origin
  • d) passing through the point (0, 11)
Answer: b) parallel to y axis
Explanation:
The equation \(x = c\) (where c is a constant) represents a vertical line that is parallel to the y-axis.
12. If (5,7), (3, p) and (6, 6) are collinear then the value of p is ...
  • a) 3
  • b) 6
  • c) 9
  • d) 12
Answer: c) 9
Explanation:
If three points are collinear, their slopes are equal.
Slope of (5,7) and (3,p) = Slope of (3,p) and (6,6)
\(\frac{p-7}{3-5} = \frac{6-p}{6-3}\)
\(\frac{p-7}{-2} = \frac{6-p}{3}\)
\(3(p-7) = -2(6-p) \Rightarrow 3p - 21 = -12 + 2p\)
\(p = 9\).
13. (2,1) is the point of intersection of two lines ...
  • a) x - y - 3 = 0; 3x - y - 7 = 0
  • b) x + y = 3; 3x + y = 7
  • c) 3x + y = 3; x + y = 7
  • d) x + 3y - 3 = 0; x - y - 7 = 0
Answer: b) x + y = 3; 3x + y = 7
Explanation:
The point of intersection must satisfy both equations. Substitute (2,1) into the equations in option (b).
Equation 1: \(x + y = 2 + 1 = 3\). (Satisfied)
Equation 2: \(3x + y = 3(2) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7\). (Satisfied)
Therefore, (2,1) is the point of intersection.
14. If \(5x = \sec\theta\) and \(\frac{5}{y} = \tan\theta\); then \(x^2 - \frac{1}{y^2}\) is equal to ... (Assuming a typo correction from the image)
  • a) 25
  • b) \(\frac{1}{25}\)
  • c) 5
  • d) 1
Answer: b) \(\frac{1}{25}\)
Explanation:
Given \(5x = \sec\theta \Rightarrow x = \frac{\sec\theta}{5}\).
Given \(\frac{5}{y} = \tan\theta \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y} = \frac{\tan\theta}{5}\).
We need to find \(x^2 - \frac{1}{y^2}\).
\(x^2 - \frac{1}{y^2} = \left(\frac{\sec\theta}{5}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{\tan\theta}{5}\right)^2\)
\(= \frac{\sec^2\theta}{25} - \frac{\tan^2\theta}{25} = \frac{\sec^2\theta - \tan^2\theta}{25}\)
Since \(\sec^2\theta - \tan^2\theta = 1\), the expression equals \(\frac{1}{25}\).

PART - B

Answer any 10 questions. Question No. 28 is compulsory.
15. A relation R is given by the set \(\{(x,y) / y = x + 3, x \in \{0,1,2,3,4,5\}\}\). Determine its domain and range.
Given relation: \(y = x + 3\) and \(x \in \{0,1,2,3,4,5\}\).
When x=0, y = 0+3 = 3
When x=1, y = 1+3 = 4
When x=2, y = 2+3 = 5
When x=3, y = 3+3 = 6
When x=4, y = 4+3 = 7
When x=5, y = 5+3 = 8
The relation R as a set of ordered pairs is \(\{(0,3), (1,4), (2,5), (3,6), (4,7), (5,8)\}\).
Domain = The set of all first elements = \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}.
Range = The set of all second elements = \{3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}.
16. Let f be a function from R to R defined by \(f(x) = 3x - 5\). Find the values of a and b given that (a, 4) and (1, b) belong to f.
Given \(f(x) = 3x - 5\).
Since (a, 4) belongs to f, we have \(f(a) = 4\).
\(3a - 5 = 4 \Rightarrow 3a = 9 \Rightarrow a = 3\).
Since (1, b) belongs to f, we have \(f(1) = b\).
\(b = 3(1) - 5 \Rightarrow b = 3 - 5 \Rightarrow b = -2\).
Therefore, a = 3 and b = -2.
17. If \(f(x) = x^2 - 1\), \(g(x) = x - 2\), find a, if \(g \circ f(a) = 1\).
Given \(f(x) = x^2 - 1\) and \(g(x) = x - 2\).
We need to solve \(g(f(a)) = 1\).
First, find \(f(a) = a^2 - 1\).
Now, \(g(f(a)) = g(a^2 - 1)\).
Substitute \(a^2 - 1\) into g(x):
\(g(a^2 - 1) = (a^2 - 1) - 2 = a^2 - 3\).
Given \(g(f(a)) = 1\), so \(a^2 - 3 = 1\).
\(a^2 = 4 \Rightarrow a = \pm 2\).
18. Solve: \(5x \equiv 4 \pmod{6}\).
The congruence \(5x \equiv 4 \pmod{6}\) can be written as \(5x = 6k + 4\) for some integer k.
We can test values for x:
If x = 1, \(5(1) = 5 \equiv 5 \pmod{6}\).
If x = 2, \(5(2) = 10 \equiv 4 \pmod{6}\). This is a solution.
The solutions are of the form \(x = 2 + 6n\), where n is an integer. A particular solution is x = 2.
19. In a G.P. 729, 243, 81, ..., find \(t_7\).
The given G.P. is 729, 243, 81, ...
First term, \(a = 729\).
Common ratio, \(r = \frac{243}{729} = \frac{1}{3}\).
The nth term of a G.P. is \(t_n = ar^{n-1}\).
We need to find \(t_7\).
\(t_7 = 729 \times (\frac{1}{3})^{7-1} = 729 \times (\frac{1}{3})^6\).
Since \(729 = 3^6\),
\(t_7 = 3^6 \times \frac{1}{3^6} = 1\).
20. If \(1 + 2 + 3 + \dots + k = 325\), then find \(1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + \dots + k^3\).
We are given the sum of the first k natural numbers:
\(1 + 2 + 3 + \dots + k = \frac{k(k+1)}{2} = 325\).
We need to find the sum of the cubes of the first k natural numbers:
\(1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + \dots + k^3 = \left(\frac{k(k+1)}{2}\right)^2\).
Substituting the given value:
\(1^3 + 2^3 + \dots + k^3 = (325)^2\).
\(325^2 = 105625\).
21. Find the excluded value of the rational expression \(\frac{t}{t^2-5t+6}\).
The excluded values are the values of 't' for which the denominator is zero.
Set the denominator to zero: \(t^2 - 5t + 6 = 0\).
Factorize the quadratic equation:
\((t - 2)(t - 3) = 0\).
This gives \(t = 2\) or \(t = 3\).
The excluded values are 2 and 3.
22. Simplify: \(\frac{x^3}{x-y} + \frac{y^3}{y-x}\).
\(\frac{x^3}{x-y} + \frac{y^3}{y-x} = \frac{x^3}{x-y} + \frac{y^3}{-(x-y)}\)
\(= \frac{x^3}{x-y} - \frac{y^3}{x-y}\)
\(= \frac{x^3 - y^3}{x-y}\)
Using the formula \(a^3 - b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)\),
\(= \frac{(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)}{x-y}\)
\(= x^2+xy+y^2\).
23. Determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation \(15x^2 + 11x + 2 = 0\).
The nature of the roots is determined by the discriminant, \(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac\).
Here, a = 15, b = 11, c = 2.
\(\Delta = (11)^2 - 4(15)(2)\)
\(= 121 - 120 = 1\).
Since \(\Delta = 1 > 0\) and is a perfect square, the roots are real, unequal, and rational.
24. If \(\triangle ABC\) is similar to \(\triangle DEF\) such that BC = 3cm, EF = 4cm and area of \(\triangle ABC = 54cm^2\). Find the area of \(\triangle DEF\).
For similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
\(\frac{\text{Area}(\triangle ABC)}{\text{Area}(\triangle DEF)} = \left(\frac{BC}{EF}\right)^2\)
\(\frac{54}{\text{Area}(\triangle DEF)} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{16}\)
\(\text{Area}(\triangle DEF) = \frac{54 \times 16}{9} = 6 \times 16 = 96 \, \text{cm}^2\).
25. Find the slope of a line joining the points (-6, 1) and (-3, 2).
The slope \(m\) of a line joining points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\).
Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-6, 1)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-3, 2)\).
\(m = \frac{2 - 1}{-3 - (-6)} = \frac{1}{-3 + 6} = \frac{1}{3}\).
26. Show that the straight lines \(x - 2y + 3 = 0\) and \(6x + 3y + 8 = 0\) are perpendicular.
For the first line, \(x - 2y + 3 = 0\), the slope \(m_1 = -\frac{\text{coefficient of } x}{\text{coefficient of } y} = -\frac{1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2}\).
For the second line, \(6x + 3y + 8 = 0\), the slope \(m_2 = -\frac{6}{3} = -2\).
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
\(m_1 \times m_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-2) = -1\).
Hence, the lines are perpendicular.
27. Prove that \(\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}} = \sec\theta + \tan\theta\).
LHS = \(\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}}\).
Multiply numerator and denominator inside the square root by the conjugate of the denominator, which is \(1+\sin\theta\).
LHS = \(\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta} \times \frac{1+\sin\theta}{1+\sin\theta}}\)
\(= \sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin\theta)^2}{1-\sin^2\theta}}\)
Using the identity \(1-\sin^2\theta = \cos^2\theta\),
\(= \sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin\theta)^2}{\cos^2\theta}}\)
\(= \frac{1+\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\)
\(= \frac{1}{\cos\theta} + \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\)
\(= \sec\theta + \tan\theta\) = RHS. (Hence Proved)
28. Find the equation of straight line whose slope is -4 and passing through the point (1,2).
The equation of a straight line with slope \(m\) and passing through a point \((x_1, y_1)\) is given by the point-slope form: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\).
Given \(m = -4\) and \((x_1, y_1) = (1, 2)\).
Substituting these values:
\(y - 2 = -4(x - 1)\)
\(y - 2 = -4x + 4\)
\(4x + y - 2 - 4 = 0\)
The required equation is \(4x + y - 6 = 0\).

PART - C

Answer any 10 questions. Question No. 42 is compulsory.
29. Let A = {x ∈ W / x < 2}, B = {x ∈ N / 1 < x ≤ 4} and C = {3, 5}. Verify that A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C).
Given sets:
A = {x ∈ W / x < 2} = {0, 1} (W is whole numbers)
B = {x ∈ N / 1 < x ≤ 4} = {2, 3, 4} (N is natural numbers)
C = {3, 5}

LHS: A × (B ∩ C)
First, find B ∩ C = {3}.
A × (B ∩ C) = {0, 1} × {3} = {(0, 3), (1, 3)}.

RHS: (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
First, find A × B = {0, 1} × {2, 3, 4} = {(0, 2), (0, 3), (0, 4), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4)}.
Next, find A × C = {0, 1} × {3, 5} = {(0, 3), (0, 5), (1, 3), (1, 5)}.
Now, find the intersection: (A × B) ∩ (A × C) = {(0, 3), (1, 3)}.

Since LHS = RHS, the property is verified.
30. Let f : A→B be a function defined by \(f(x) = \frac{x}{2} - 1\), where A = {2,4,6,10,12}, B = {0,1,2,4,5,9}. Represent f by i) a set of ordered pairs, ii) a table, iii) an arrow diagram, iv) a graph.
Given function: \(f(x) = \frac{x}{2} - 1\)
Domain A = {2, 4, 6, 10, 12}
We find the image for each element in A:
  • \(f(2) = \frac{2}{2} - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0\)
  • \(f(4) = \frac{4}{2} - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1\)
  • \(f(6) = \frac{6}{2} - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2\)
  • \(f(10) = \frac{10}{2} - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4\)
  • \(f(12) = \frac{12}{2} - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5\)
i) A set of ordered pairs:
The function f can be represented as the set of ordered pairs (x, f(x)):
f = {(2, 0), (4, 1), (6, 2), (10, 4), (12, 5)}

ii) A table:
The function f can be represented in a tabular form:
x 2 4 6 10 12
f(x) 0 1 2 4 5

iii) An arrow diagram:
(Draw two ovals representing sets A and B. List the elements. Draw arrows from each element in A to its corresponding image in B.)
A = {2, 4, 6, 10, 12}
B = {0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 9}
Arrows should be drawn as follows:
2 → 0
4 → 1
6 → 2
10 → 4
12 → 5

iv) A graph:
(Plot the ordered pairs from (i) on a coordinate plane.)
The points to be plotted are: (2, 0), (4, 1), (6, 2), (10, 4), and (12, 5).
31. If \(f(x) = x^2\), \(g(x) = 3x\) and \(h(x) = x - 2\), prove that \((f \circ g) \circ h = f \circ (g \circ h)\).
Given functions: \(f(x) = x^2\), \(g(x) = 3x\), \(h(x) = x - 2\).

First, let's find the LHS: \((f \circ g) \circ h\)
Step 1: Find \(f \circ g\).
\((f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(3x) = (3x)^2 = 9x^2\).
Step 2: Now, find \(((f \circ g) \circ h)(x)\).
\(((f \circ g) \circ h)(x) = (f \circ g)(h(x)) = (f \circ g)(x-2)\).
Substitute (x-2) into the expression for \((f \circ g)(x)\):
\(= 9(x-2)^2 = 9(x^2 - 4x + 4) = 9x^2 - 36x + 36\). --- (1)

Next, let's find the RHS: \(f \circ (g \circ h)\)
Step 1: Find \(g \circ h\).
\((g \circ h)(x) = g(h(x)) = g(x-2) = 3(x-2) = 3x - 6\).
Step 2: Now, find \((f \circ (g \circ h))(x)\).
\((f \circ (g \circ h))(x) = f((g \circ h)(x)) = f(3x-6)\).
Substitute (3x-6) into \(f(x)\):
\(= (3x-6)^2 = [3(x-2)]^2 = 9(x-2)^2 = 9(x^2 - 4x + 4) = 9x^2 - 36x + 36\). --- (2)

From equations (1) and (2), we see that LHS = RHS.
Therefore, \((f \circ g) \circ h = f \circ (g \circ h)\). (Hence Proved)
32. The 13th term of an A.P is 3 and the sum of first 13 terms is 234. Find the common difference and the sum of first 21 terms.
Given, 13th term \(t_{13} = 3\). \(a + 12d = 3\) --- (1)
Sum of first 13 terms \(S_{13} = 234\). \(S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)\)
\(234 = \frac{13}{2}(2a + 12d) = 13(a + 6d)\)
\(a + 6d = \frac{234}{13} = 18\) --- (2)
Subtracting (2) from (1):
\((a + 12d) - (a + 6d) = 3 - 18\)
\(6d = -15 \Rightarrow d = -\frac{15}{6} = -\frac{5}{2}\).
Substitute d in (2): \(a + 6(-\frac{5}{2}) = 18 \Rightarrow a - 15 = 18 \Rightarrow a = 33\).
Common difference \(d = -5/2\).
Sum of first 21 terms \(S_{21}\):
\(S_{21} = \frac{21}{2}(2a + 20d) = 21(a+10d)\)
\(= 21(33 + 10(-\frac{5}{2})) = 21(33 - 25) = 21(8) = 168\).
Sum of first 21 terms is 168.
33. Find the sum of n terms of the series 3 + 33 + 333 + ......... to x terms.
Let \(S_x\) be the sum of the series to x terms.
\(S_x = 3 + 33 + 333 + \dots \text{ to x terms}\)

Step 1: Take 3 as a common factor.
\(S_x = 3(1 + 11 + 111 + \dots \text{ to x terms})\)

Step 2: Multiply and divide by 9.
\(S_x = \frac{3}{9}(9 + 99 + 999 + \dots \text{ to x terms})\)

Step 3: Express each term as a difference involving powers of 10.
\(S_x = \frac{1}{3}[(10-1) + (10^2-1) + (10^3-1) + \dots + (10^x-1)]\)

Step 4: Group the terms.
\(S_x = \frac{1}{3}[(10 + 10^2 + 10^3 + \dots + 10^x) - (1 + 1 + 1 + \dots \text{ x times})]\)

Step 5: The first part \((10 + 10^2 + \dots + 10^x)\) is a Geometric Progression (G.P.) with:
  • First term, \(a = 10\)
  • Common ratio, \(r = 10\)
  • Number of terms = x
The sum of this G.P. is given by the formula \(S_{GP} = \frac{a(r^x-1)}{r-1}\).
Sum = \(\frac{10(10^x-1)}{10-1} = \frac{10}{9}(10^x-1)\).
The second part \((1 + 1 + \dots \text{ x times})\) is simply x.

Step 6: Substitute these values back into the equation for \(S_x\).
\(S_x = \frac{1}{3}\left[\frac{10}{9}(10^x-1) - x\right]\)

Step 7: Simplify the expression for the final answer.
\(S_x = \frac{1}{3} \left[ \frac{10(10^x-1) - 9x}{9} \right]\)
\(S_x = \frac{1}{27}[10(10^x-1) - 9x]\)
34. There are 12 pieces of five, ten and twenty rupee currencies whose total value is Rs. 105. When first 2 sorts are interchanged in their numbers its value will be increased by Rs. 20. Find the number of currencies in each sort.
Let x, y, and z be the number of five, ten, and twenty rupee notes, respectively.
From the problem, we get three equations:
1. \(x + y + z = 12\) (Total number of notes)
2. \(5x + 10y + 20z = 105 \Rightarrow x + 2y + 4z = 21\) (Total value)
3. After interchanging x and y, the new value is \(5y + 10x + 20z\). This is Rs. 20 more than the original value.
\(5y + 10x + 20z = 105 + 20 = 125 \Rightarrow 2x + y + 4z = 25\)
Now, solve the system of equations:
Subtract (1) from (2): \((x + 2y + 4z) - (x + y + z) = 21 - 12 \Rightarrow y + 3z = 9\) --- (4)
Multiply (1) by 2 and subtract from (3):
\((2x + y + 4z) - 2(x + y + z) = 25 - 2(12)\)
\((2x + y + 4z) - (2x + 2y + 2z) = 25 - 24 \Rightarrow -y + 2z = 1\) --- (5)
Add (4) and (5):
\((y + 3z) + (-y + 2z) = 9 + 1 \Rightarrow 5z = 10 \Rightarrow z = 2\).
Substitute z=2 into (4): \(y + 3(2) = 9 \Rightarrow y + 6 = 9 \Rightarrow y = 3\).
Substitute y=3 and z=2 into (1): \(x + 3 + 2 = 12 \Rightarrow x = 7\).
Answer: Number of 5 rupee notes = 7, 10 rupee notes = 3, and 20 rupee notes = 2.
35. Find the square root of the polynomial \(37x^2 - 28x^3 + 4x^4 + 42x + 9\) by division method.
First, arrange the polynomial in descending order of its powers (standard form):
\(4x^4 - 28x^3 + 37x^2 + 42x + 9\).

Now, we perform the long division method for square root:
                      2x²  -  7x  -  3
                    _________________________
             2x²   |  4x⁴ - 28x³ + 37x² + 42x + 9

                   |_________________________
            4x²-7x |     -28x³ + 37x²
                   |     -28x³ + 49x²
                   |    (-)   (-)
                   |_________________________
          4x²-14x-3|           -12x² + 42x + 9
                   |           -12x² + 42x + 9
                   |          (+)   (-)   (-)
                   |_________________________
                   |                     0
                
Explanation of Steps:
  1. The square root of the first term \(4x^4\) is \(2x^2\). Place it as the divisor and the quotient.
  2. Subtract \((2x^2)^2 = 4x^4\) and bring down the next two terms: \(-28x^3 + 37x^2\).
  3. Double the quotient \(2x^2\) to get \(4x^2\). Divide \(-28x^3\) by \(4x^2\) to get \(-7x\). This is the next term in the quotient and divisor.
  4. Multiply the new divisor \(4x^2 - 7x\) by \(-7x\) to get \(-28x^3 + 49x^2\). Subtract this from the dividend.
  5. Bring down the next two terms \(42x + 9\). The new dividend is \(-12x^2 + 42x + 9\).
  6. Double the current quotient \(2x^2 - 7x\) to get \(4x^2 - 14x\). Divide \(-12x^2\) by \(4x^2\) to get \(-3\). This is the next term in the quotient and divisor.
  7. Multiply the new divisor \(4x^2 - 14x - 3\) by \(-3\) to get \(-12x^2 + 42x + 9\). Subtracting this gives a remainder of 0.
Therefore, the square root of the polynomial is \(|2x^2 - 7x - 3|\).
36. The roots of the equation \(x^2 + 6x - 4 = 0\) are \(\alpha, \beta\). Find the quadratic equation whose roots are \(\alpha^2\) and \(\beta^2\).
Given the equation \(x^2 + 6x - 4 = 0\). Comparing with \(ax^2+bx+c=0\), we have a=1, b=6, c=-4.
For the roots \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\):
Sum of the roots: \(\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{6}{1} = -6\).
Product of the roots: \(\alpha\beta = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{-4}{1} = -4\).

Now, we need to form a new quadratic equation with roots \(\alpha^2\) and \(\beta^2\).
Sum of new roots:
\(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta\)
\(= (-6)^2 - 2(-4) = 36 + 8 = 44\).

Product of new roots:
\(\alpha^2 \beta^2 = (\alpha\beta)^2 = (-4)^2 = 16\).

The required quadratic equation is given by:
\(x^2 - (\text{Sum of new roots})x + (\text{Product of new roots}) = 0\)
\(x^2 - 44x + 16 = 0\).
37. State and prove Thales theorem.
Statement (Basic Proportionality Theorem or Thales Theorem):
If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Given: In \(\triangle ABC\), a line DE is parallel to BC, intersecting AB at D and AC at E. (DE || BC).
To Prove: \(\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}\).
Construction: Join BE and CD. Draw DM \(\perp\) AC and EN \(\perp\) AB.

Proof:
We know that the area of a triangle is \(\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}\).
Area(\(\triangle ADE\)) = \(\frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EN\).
Area(\(\triangle BDE\)) = \(\frac{1}{2} \times DB \times EN\).
Dividing these, we get: \(\frac{\text{Area}(\triangle ADE)}{\text{Area}(\triangle BDE)} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EN}{\frac{1}{2} \times DB \times EN} = \frac{AD}{DB}\) --- (1)

Similarly, Area(\(\triangle ADE\)) = \(\frac{1}{2} \times AE \times DM\).
Area(\(\triangle DEC\)) = \(\frac{1}{2} \times EC \times DM\).
Dividing these, we get: \(\frac{\text{Area}(\triangle ADE)}{\text{Area}(\triangle DEC)} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times AE \times DM}{\frac{1}{2} \times EC \times DM} = \frac{AE}{EC}\) --- (2)

Now, \(\triangle BDE\) and \(\triangle DEC\) are on the same base DE and between the same parallel lines DE and BC.
Therefore, Area(\(\triangle BDE\)) = Area(\(\triangle DEC\)).
From (1) and (2), this means: \(\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}\).
Hence, the theorem is proved.
38. Find the area of the quadrilateral formed by the points (8,6), (5, 11), (-5, 12) and (-4, 3).
Let the vertices of the quadrilateral be A(8, 6), B(5, 11), C(-5, 12), and D(-4, 3). We use the formula for the area of a quadrilateral: Area = \(\frac{1}{2} |(x_1y_2 + x_2y_3 + x_3y_4 + x_4y_1) - (y_1x_2 + y_2x_3 + y_3x_4 + y_4x_1)|\)

Substituting the coordinates in order:
Area = \(\frac{1}{2} |((8)(11) + (5)(12) + (-5)(3) + (-4)(6)) - ((6)(5) + (11)(-5) + (12)(-4) + (3)(8))|\)

Calculate the first part: \(88 + 60 - 15 - 24 = 148 - 39 = 109\).

Calculate the second part: \(30 - 55 - 48 + 24 = 54 - 103 = -49\).

Now, substitute these values into the formula:
Area = \(\frac{1}{2} |109 - (-49)| = \frac{1}{2} |109 + 49| = \frac{1}{2} |158|\)
Area = 79 square units.
39. Find the equation of a straight line passing through (1,-4) and has intercepts which are in the ratio 2 : 5.
Let the x-intercept be 'a' and the y-intercept be 'b'. The equation of the line in intercept form is \(\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\).
Given that the ratio of intercepts is 2 : 5, so \(\frac{a}{b} = \frac{2}{5}\). Let \(a = 2k\) and \(b = 5k\) for some constant k.

The equation becomes \(\frac{x}{2k} + \frac{y}{5k} = 1\).
The line passes through the point (1, -4). Substitute x=1 and y=-4 into the equation:
\(\frac{1}{2k} + \frac{-4}{5k} = 1\)
\(\frac{1}{2k} - \frac{4}{5k} = 1\)
To solve for k, find a common denominator (10k):
\(\frac{5 - 8}{10k} = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{-3}{10k} = 1\)
So, \(10k = -3 \Rightarrow k = -\frac{3}{10}\).

Now find the equation of the line by substituting k back:
\(\frac{x}{2(-\frac{3}{10})} + \frac{y}{5(-\frac{3}{10})} = 1\)
\(\frac{x}{-6/10} + \frac{y}{-15/10} = 1\)
\(\frac{-10x}{6} + \frac{-10y}{15} = 1\)
\(\frac{-5x}{3} - \frac{2y}{3} = 1\)
Multiply the entire equation by 3:
\(-5x - 2y = 3\)
The required equation is \(5x + 2y + 3 = 0\).
40. Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the points A(-4, 2) and B (6, -4).
A perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the line segment and is perpendicular to it.

Step 1: Find the midpoint of AB.
Midpoint M = \((\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\)
M = \((\frac{-4+6}{2}, \frac{2-4}{2}) = (\frac{2}{2}, \frac{-2}{2}) = (1, -1)\).

Step 2: Find the slope of the line AB.
Slope \(m_{AB} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-4-2}{6-(-4)} = \frac{-6}{10} = -\frac{3}{5}\).

Step 3: Find the slope of the perpendicular bisector.
The slope of the perpendicular bisector, \(m_{\perp}\), is the negative reciprocal of \(m_{AB}\).
\(m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{m_{AB}} = -\frac{1}{-3/5} = \frac{5}{3}\).

Step 4: Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector.
Using the point-slope form \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) with the midpoint M(1, -1) and slope \(m = 5/3\).
\(y - (-1) = \frac{5}{3}(x - 1)\)
\(y + 1 = \frac{5}{3}(x - 1)\)
Multiply by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
\(3(y + 1) = 5(x - 1)\)
\(3y + 3 = 5x - 5\)
Rearranging the terms, the required equation is \(5x - 3y - 8 = 0\).
41. If \(\cot\theta + \tan\theta = x\) and \(\sec\theta - \cos\theta = y\), then prove that \((x^2y)^{2/3} - (xy^2)^{2/3} = 1\).
First, let's simplify the expressions for x and y.
For x:
\(x = \cot\theta + \tan\theta = \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} + \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\)
\(x = \frac{\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta}{\sin\theta\cos\theta} = \frac{1}{\sin\theta\cos\theta}\).

For y:
\(y = \sec\theta - \cos\theta = \frac{1}{\cos\theta} - \cos\theta\)
\(y = \frac{1 - \cos^2\theta}{\cos\theta} = \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta}\).

Now, let's evaluate the terms in the expression we need to prove.
Term 1: \(x^2y\)
\(x^2y = (\frac{1}{\sin\theta\cos\theta})^2 \cdot (\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta}) = \frac{1}{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta} \cdot \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta} = \frac{1}{\cos^3\theta}\).
So, \((x^2y)^{2/3} = (\frac{1}{\cos^3\theta})^{2/3} = \frac{1}{(\cos^3\theta)^{2/3}} = \frac{1}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta\).

Term 2: \(xy^2\)
\(xy^2 = (\frac{1}{\sin\theta\cos\theta}) \cdot (\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2 = \frac{1}{\sin\theta\cos\theta} \cdot \frac{\sin^4\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \frac{\sin^3\theta}{\cos^3\theta} = \tan^3\theta\).
So, \((xy^2)^{2/3} = (\tan^3\theta)^{2/3} = \tan^2\theta\).

Final Proof:
Substitute these results back into the expression:
\((x^2y)^{2/3} - (xy^2)^{2/3} = \sec^2\theta - \tan^2\theta\).
Using the Pythagorean identity \(\sec^2\theta - \tan^2\theta = 1\), we get:
\(\sec^2\theta - \tan^2\theta = 1\).
Hence, \((x^2y)^{2/3} - (xy^2)^{2/3} = 1\). (Proved)

Answer all the questions.
42. Swathi has 15 ice cubes of different sizes 9cm, 10cm, 11cm, ......... 23cm. How much volume of ice cubes can be used to prepare some fruit juice with these ice cubes?
The sides of the ice cubes form an arithmetic progression: 9, 10, 11, ..., 23.
The volume of a cube with side 'a' is \(a^3\).
Total volume = \(9^3 + 10^3 + 11^3 + \dots + 23^3\).
We can write this as:
Total Volume = \((1^3 + 2^3 + \dots + 23^3) - (1^3 + 2^3 + \dots + 8^3)\).
Using the formula for the sum of cubes of first n natural numbers: \(S_n = \left(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right)^2\).

Sum of cubes up to 23: \(S_{23} = \left(\frac{23(23+1)}{2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{23 \times 24}{2}\right)^2 = (23 \times 12)^2 = 276^2 = 76176\).

Sum of cubes up to 8: \(S_8 = \left(\frac{8(8+1)}{2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{8 \times 9}{2}\right)^2 = (4 \times 9)^2 = 36^2 = 1296\).

Total Volume = \(S_{23} - S_8 = 76176 - 1296 = 74880\).

Answer: The total volume of the ice cubes is 74880 cm³.

B x A இன் முதல் உறுப்புகளின் கணம் B ஆகும்.
B = {-2, 0, 3}
B x A இன் இரண்டாம் உறுப்புகளின் கணம் A ஆகும்.
A = {3, 4}

16. fog=gof எனில் k-யின் மதிப்பைக் காண்க. f(x)=3x+2, g(x)=6x-k

f(g(x)) = f(6x-k) = 3(6x-k) + 2 = 18x - 3k + 2.
g(f(x)) = g(3x+2) = 6(3x+2) - k = 18x + 12 - k.
fog = gof என்பதால்,
18x - 3k + 2 = 18x + 12 - k
-3k + 2 = 12 - k
2 - 12 = -k + 3k
-10 = 2k
k = -5

17. $a^b \times b^a = 800$ என்றவாறு அமையும் இரு மிகை முழுக்கள் 'a' மற்றும் 'b' ஐ காண்க.

$800 = 8 \times 100 = 2^3 \times 10^2 = 2^3 \times (2 \times 5)^2 = 2^3 \times 2^2 \times 5^2 = 2^5 \times 5^2$.
$a^b \times b^a = 2^5 \times 5^2$.
இதை ஒப்பிடும்போது, a = 2 மற்றும் b = 5 (அல்லது a=5, b=2).
எனவே, அந்த இரு மிகை முழுக்கள் 2 மற்றும் 5.

18. 8, 24, 72,.... என்ற தொடர்வரிசையின் அடுத்த மூன்று உறுப்புகளைக் காண்க.

Find the next three terms of the sequence 8, 24, 72,....

விடை:
கொடுக்கப்பட்ட தொடர்வரிசை: 8, 24, 72,...
இது ஒரு பெருக்குத் தொடர்வரிசை (Geometric Progression - G.P.) ஆகும்.
முதல் உறுப்பு (a) = 8.
பொது விகிதம் (r) = $t_2 / t_1 = 24 / 8 = 3$.
$t_3 / t_2 = 72 / 24 = 3$.
எனவே, அடுத்த மூன்று உறுப்புகள்:
$t_4 = t_3 \times r = 72 \times 3 = 216$.
$t_5 = t_4 \times r = 216 \times 3 = 648$.
$t_6 = t_5 \times r = 648 \times 3 = 1944$.
ஆகவே, அடுத்த மூன்று உறுப்புகள் 216, 648, 1944.

Simplify: $\frac{4x^2y}{2z^2} \times \frac{6xz^3}{20y^4}$

விடை:
$\frac{4x^2y}{2z^2} \times \frac{6xz^3}{20y^4} = \frac{4 \times 6 \times x^2 \times x \times y \times z^3}{2 \times 20 \times z^2 \times y^4}$
$= \frac{24 \times x^{2+1} \times y \times z^3}{40 \times z^2 \times y^4}$
$= \frac{24 x^3 y z^3}{40 y^4 z^2}$
(24 மற்றும் 40 ஐ 8 ஆல் வகுக்க) $= \frac{3}{5} x^3 y^{1-4} z^{3-2}$
$= \frac{3}{5} x^3 y^{-3} z^1$
$= \frac{3x^3z}{5y^3}$

20. $x^2+8x-65=0$ எனும் இருபடிச் சமன்பாட்டின் மூலங்களின் கூடுதல் மற்றும் பெருக்கற்பலன் காண்க.

Find the sum and product of the roots for the quadratic equation $x^2+8x-65=0$.

விடை:
கொடுக்கப்பட்ட சமன்பாடு: $x^2+8x-65=0$.
இதை $ax^2+bx+c=0$ உடன் ஒப்பிட, a=1, b=8, c=-65.
மூலங்களின் கூடுதல் (Sum of roots) = $-\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{8}{1} = -8$.
மூலங்களின் பெருக்கற்பலன் (Product of roots) = $\frac{c}{a} = \frac{-65}{1} = -65$.

21. $x^2-x-20=0$ எனும் இருபடிச் சமன்பாட்டின் மூலங்களின் தன்மையைக் காண்க.

Determine the nature of roots for the quadratic equation $x^2-x-20=0$.

விடை:
$x^2-x-20=0$. இங்கு a=1, b=-1, c=-20.
தன்மை காட்டி (Discriminant), $\Delta = b^2 - 4ac$.
$\Delta = (-1)^2 - 4(1)(-20) = 1 + 80 = 81$.
$\Delta = 81 > 0$.
தன்மை காட்டி மிகை எண்ணாக இருப்பதால், மூலங்கள் மெய் மற்றும் சமமற்றவை (Real and unequal).

22. வடிவொத்த முக்கோணங்கள் ABC மற்றும் PQRன் சுற்றளவுகள் முறையே 36செ.மீ மற்றும் 24செ.மீ ஆகும். PQ=10செ.மீ எனில், ABஐக் காண்க.

The perimeters of two similar triangles ABC and PQR are respectively 36cm and 24cm. If PQ=10cm, find AB.

விடை:
வடிவொத்த முக்கோணங்களின் சுற்றளவுகளின் விகிதம் அவற்றின் ஒத்த பக்கங்களின் விகிதத்திற்கு சமம்.
$\frac{\text{Perimeter}(\triangle ABC)}{\text{Perimeter}(\triangle PQR)} = \frac{AB}{PQ}$
$\frac{36}{24} = \frac{AB}{10}$
$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{AB}{10}$
$AB = \frac{3 \times 10}{2} = 15$.
$AB = 15$ செ.மீ.

23. (-6, 1) மற்றும் (–3, 2) ஆகிய புள்ளிகளை இணைக்கும் நேர்க்கோட்டின் சாய்வைக் காண்க.

Find the slope of a line joining the points (-6, 1) and (-3, 2).

விடை:
$(x_1, y_1) = (-6, 1)$, $(x_2, y_2) = (-3, 2)$.
சாய்வு (Slope) $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 1}{-3 - (-6)} = \frac{1}{-3 + 6} = \frac{1}{3}$.

24. $\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}} = \sec\theta + \tan\theta$ என்பதை நிரூபிக்கவும்.

Prove that $\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}} = \sec\theta + \tan\theta$.

விடை:
LHS = $\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}}$
பகுதி மற்றும் தொகுதியை $(1+\sin\theta)$ ஆல் பெருக்க:
$= \sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin\theta)(1+\sin\theta)}{(1-\sin\theta)(1+\sin\theta)}} = \sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin\theta)^2}{1-\sin^2\theta}}$
($\because \cos^2\theta = 1-\sin^2\theta$)
$= \sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin\theta)^2}{\cos^2\theta}} = \frac{1+\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$
$= \frac{1}{\cos\theta} + \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$
$= \sec\theta + \tan\theta$ = RHS.
நிரூபிக்கப்பட்டது.

25. (2, 3) மற்றும் (−7, −1) என்ற இரு புள்ளிகள் வழிச் செல்லும் நேர்க்கோட்டின் சமன்பாட்டைக் காண்க.

Find the equation of a line through the given pair of points (2, 3) and (-7, -1).

விடை:
இரு புள்ளி வழி சமன்பாடு: $\frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1} = \frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}$
$(x_1, y_1) = (2, 3)$, $(x_2, y_2) = (-7, -1)$.
$\frac{y-3}{-1-3} = \frac{x-2}{-7-2}$
$\frac{y-3}{-4} = \frac{x-2}{-9}$
$-9(y-3) = -4(x-2)$
$-9y + 27 = -4x + 8$
$4x - 9y + 27 - 8 = 0$
$4x - 9y + 19 = 0$.

26. AB=5செ.மீ, AC=10செ.மீ, BD=1.5செ.மீ. மற்றும் CD=3.5செ.மீ எனில் $\triangle$ABC யில் AD ஆனது $\angle A$யின் இருசமவெட்டி ஆகுமா எனச் சோதிக்கவும்.

Check whether AD is bisector of $\angle A$ of $\triangle ABC$ if AB=5cm, AC=10cm, BD=1.5cm and CD=3.5cm.

விடை:
கோண இருசமவெட்டி தேற்றத்தின்படி (Angle Bisector Theorem), AD ஆனது $\angle A$யின் இருசமவெட்டி எனில், $\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{BD}{CD}$ ஆக இருக்க வேண்டும்.
$\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$.
$\frac{BD}{CD} = \frac{1.5}{3.5} = \frac{15}{35} = \frac{3}{7}$.
இங்கு, $\frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{3}{7}$.
எனவே, AD ஆனது $\angle A$யின் இருசமவெட்டி இல்லை.

27. A={0, 1}, B={0, 1}, C={0, 1} எனில் (A x B) x C காண்க.

If A={0, 1}, B={0, 1}, C={0, 1} then find (A x B) x C.

Find the sum to infinity of the G.P. 0.6+0.06+0.006+0.0006+......

விடை:
இது ஒரு முடிவுறா பெருக்குத் தொடர்.
முதல் உறுப்பு (a) = 0.6.
பொது விகிதம் (r) = $\frac{0.06}{0.6} = 0.1$.
$|r| = |0.1| < 1$, எனவே கூடுதல் காண முடியும்.
முடிவுறா உறுப்புகளின் கூடுதல் $S_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r}$.
$S_\infty = \frac{0.6}{1-0.1} = \frac{0.6}{0.9} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}$.

விடை:
$f(4)$ ஐக் கண்டுபிடிக்க, $x=4 \ge 3$, எனவே $f(x)=3x-2$.
$f(4) = 3(4)-2 = 12-2 = 10$.
$f(1)$ ஐக் கண்டுபிடிக்க, $-2 \le 1 < 3$, எனவே $f(x)=x^2-2$.
$f(1) = 1^2-2 = 1-2 = -1$.
$f(-3)$ ஐக் கண்டுபிடிக்க, $x=-3 < -2$, எனவே $f(x)=2x+7$.
$f(-3) = 2(-3)+7 = -6+7 = 1$.

1) $f(4)+2f(1)$
$= 10 + 2(-1) = 10 - 2 = 8$.

2) $\frac{f(1)-3f(4)}{f(-3)}$
$= \frac{-1 - 3(10)}{1} = \frac{-1 - 30}{1} = -31$.

31. 396, 504, 636 ஆகியவற்றின் மீ.பொ.வ காண்க.

Find the HCF of 396, 504, 636.

விடை: யூக்ளிடின் வகுத்தல் வழிமுறையைப் பயன்படுத்துவோம்.
படி 1: 504 மற்றும் 396 இன் மீ.பொ.வ
$504 = 396 \times 1 + 108$
$396 = 108 \times 3 + 72$
$108 = 72 \times 1 + 36$
$72 = 36 \times 2 + 0$
மீ.பொ.வ(504, 396) = 36.

படி 2: 636 மற்றும் 36 இன் மீ.பொ.வ
$636 = 36 \times 17 + 24$
$36 = 24 \times 1 + 12$
$24 = 12 \times 2 + 0$
மீ.பொ.வ(636, 36) = 12.
எனவே, 396, 504, 636 ஆகியவற்றின் மீ.பொ.வ 12 ஆகும்.

32. ஒரு கூட்டுத் தொடர்வரிசையில் அமைந்த அடுத்தடுத்த மூன்று உறுப்புகளின் கூடுதல் 27 மற்றும் அவற்றின் பெருக்கற்பலன் 288 எனில் அந்த மூன்று உறுப்புகளைக் காண்க.

விடை:
மூன்று உறுப்புகள் $a-d, a, a+d$ என்க.
கூடுதல்: $(a-d) + a + (a+d) = 27 \Rightarrow 3a = 27 \Rightarrow a = 9$.
பெருக்கற்பலன்: $(a-d)(a)(a+d) = 288$.
$a(a^2-d^2) = 288$.
$9(9^2-d^2) = 288$.
$81-d^2 = \frac{288}{9} = 32$.
$d^2 = 81 - 32 = 49$.
$d = \pm 7$.
d=7 எனில், உறுப்புகள்: $9-7, 9, 9+7 \Rightarrow 2, 9, 16$.
d=-7 எனில், உறுப்புகள்: $9-(-7), 9, 9-7 \Rightarrow 16, 9, 2$.
தேவையான மூன்று உறுப்புகள் 2, 9, 16.

33. ரேகாவிடம் 10செ.மீ, 11செ.மீ, 12செ.மீ, ......,24செ.மீ என்ற பக்க அளவுள்ள 15 சதுர வடிவ வண்ணக் காகிதங்கள் உள்ளன. இந்த வண்ணக் காகிதங்களைக் கொண்டு எவ்வளவு பரப்பை அடைத்து அலங்கரிக்க முடியும்?

Rekha has 15 square colour papers of sizes 10cm, 11cm, 12cm,.....,24cm. How much area can be decorated with these colour papers?

விடை:
சதுரங்களின் பக்க அளவுகள்: 10, 11, 12, ..., 24 செ.மீ.
மொத்த பரப்பு என்பது இந்த சதுரங்களின் பரப்பளவுகளின் கூடுதலாகும்.
மொத்த பரப்பு = $10^2 + 11^2 + 12^2 + ... + 24^2$.
இதை நாம் முதல் n இயல் எண்களின் வர்க்கங்களின் கூடுதல் சூத்திரத்தைப் பயன்படுத்தி கணக்கிடலாம்: $\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$.
மொத்த பரப்பு = $(\sum_{k=1}^{24} k^2) - (\sum_{k=1}^{9} k^2)$
$\sum_{k=1}^{24} k^2 = \frac{24(24+1)(2 \times 24+1)}{6} = \frac{24 \times 25 \times 49}{6} = 4 \times 25 \times 49 = 100 \times 49 = 4900$.
$\sum_{k=1}^{9} k^2 = \frac{9(9+1)(2 \times 9+1)}{6} = \frac{9 \times 10 \times 19}{6} = 3 \times 5 \times 19 = 285$.
மொத்த பரப்பு = $4900 - 285 = 4615$ ச.செ.மீ.
எனவே, 4615 ச.செ.மீ பரப்பை அலங்கரிக்க முடியும்.

34. சுருக்குக: $\frac{1}{x^2-5x+6} + \frac{1}{x^2-3x+2} - \frac{1}{x^2-8x+15}$

Simplify: $\frac{1}{x^2-5x+6} + \frac{1}{x^2-3x+2} - \frac{1}{x^2-8x+15}$

விடை:
முதலில் ஒவ்வொரு கோவையையும் காரணிப்படுத்துவோம்:
$x^2-5x+6 = (x-2)(x-3)$
$x^2-3x+2 = (x-1)(x-2)$
$x^2-8x+15 = (x-3)(x-5)$
எனவே, கோவை: $\frac{1}{(x-2)(x-3)} + \frac{1}{(x-1)(x-2)} - \frac{1}{(x-3)(x-5)}$
முதல் இரண்டு உறுப்புகளைச் சேர்ப்போம்:
$\frac{1(x-1) + 1(x-3)}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)} = \frac{x-1+x-3}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)} = \frac{2x-4}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}$
$= \frac{2(x-2)}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)} = \frac{2}{(x-1)(x-3)}$
இப்போது மூன்றாவது உறுப்பைக் கழிப்போம்:
$\frac{2}{(x-1)(x-3)} - \frac{1}{(x-3)(x-5)}$
பொதுப் பகுதி: $(x-1)(x-3)(x-5)$.
$= \frac{2(x-5) - 1(x-1)}{(x-1)(x-3)(x-5)} = \frac{2x-10-x+1}{(x-1)(x-3)(x-5)}$
$= \frac{x-9}{(x-1)(x-3)(x-5)}$

36. அடிப்படை விகிதசம தேற்றத்தை எழுதி நிறுவுக.

State and Prove Basic Proportionality Theorem.

தேற்றம் (கூற்று): ஒரு முக்கோணத்தின் ஒரு பக்கத்திற்கு இணையாக வரையப்பட்ட ஒரு நேர்க்கோடு மற்ற இரு பக்கங்களை வெவ்வேறு புள்ளிகளில் வெட்டுமானால், அக்கோடு அவ்விரு பக்கங்களையும் சம விகிதத்தில் பிரிக்கிறது.
கொடுக்கப்பட்டது: $\triangle ABC$-யில், BC-க்கு இணையாக வரையப்பட்ட கோடு DE, AB-ஐ D-யிலும், AC-ஐ E-யிலும் சந்திக்கிறது.
நிரூபிக்க வேண்டியது: $\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}$.
அமைப்பு: BE மற்றும் CD-ஐ இணைக்கவும். மேலும், $DM \perp AC$ மற்றும் $EN \perp AB$ வரைக.
நிரூபணம்:
பரப்பு($\triangle ADE$) = $\frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EN$.
பரப்பு($\triangle BDE$) = $\frac{1}{2} \times DB \times EN$.
$\frac{\text{பரப்பு}(\triangle ADE)}{\text{பரப்பு}(\triangle BDE)} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EN}{\frac{1}{2} \times DB \times EN} = \frac{AD}{DB}$ --- (1)

பரப்பு($\triangle ADE$) = $\frac{1}{2} \times AE \times DM$.
பரப்பு($\triangle CDE$) = $\frac{1}{2} \times EC \times DM$.
$\frac{\text{பரப்பு}(\triangle ADE)}{\text{பரப்பு}(\triangle CDE)} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times AE \times DM}{\frac{1}{2} \times EC \times DM} = \frac{AE}{EC}$ --- (2)

$\triangle BDE$ மற்றும் $\triangle CDE$ ஒரே அடிப்பக்கம் DE-யிலும், ஒரே இணைக்கோடுகளான BC மற்றும் DE-க்கு இடையேயும் அமைந்துள்ளன.
எனவே, பரப்பு($\triangle BDE$) = பரப்பு($\triangle CDE$).
(1) மற்றும் (2)-லிருந்து, $\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}$.
தேற்றம் நிரூபிக்கப்பட்டது.

விடை:
விளக்கு கம்பத்தின் உயரம் AB = 3.6 மீ.
சிறுவனின் உயரம் DE = 90 செ.மீ = 0.9 மீ.
சிறுவனின் வேகம் = 1.2 மீ/வி.
நேரம் = 4 வி.
சிறுவன் கடந்த தூரம் BD = வேகம் x நேரம் = 1.2 x 4 = 4.8 மீ.
சிறுவனின் நிழலின் நீளம் DC = $x$ என்க.
$\triangle ABC$ மற்றும் $\triangle EDC$ வடிவொத்தவை. எனவே,
$\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{DC}$
$\frac{3.6}{0.9} = \frac{BD+DC}{DC} = \frac{4.8+x}{x}$
$4 = \frac{4.8+x}{x}$
$4x = 4.8 + x$
$3x = 4.8$
$x = \frac{4.8}{3} = 1.6$ மீ.

விடை:
$P(x) = 3x^3+3x^2+3x+3 = 3(x^3+x^2+x+1)$
$= 3[x^2(x+1)+1(x+1)] = 3(x+1)(x^2+1)$.

$Q(x) = 6x^3+12x^2+6x+12 = 6(x^3+2x^2+x+2)$
$= 6[x^2(x+2)+1(x+2)] = 6(x+2)(x^2+1)$.

கெழுக்களின் மீ.பொ.வ(3, 6) = 3.
பொதுவான காரணி: $(x^2+1)$.
எனவே, மீ.பொ.வ = $3(x^2+1)$.

10th Maths Quarterly Exam 2024 Question Paper with Solutions | Tiruppur District | Samacheer Kalvi

10th Maths Quarterly Exam 2024 Question Paper & Solutions

QUARTERLY EXAMINATION - 2024

Subject: MATHEMATICS | Marks: 100 | Time: 3.00 Hours

Part I: Choose the best answer (14 x 1 = 14)

1. If there are 1024 relations from a Set A = {1,2,3,4,5} to a set B, then the number of elements in B is

  • a) 3
  • b) 2
  • c) 4
  • d) 8

Solution:

Given, n(A) = 5.
Number of relations from A to B is \(2^{n(A) \times n(B)}\).
We are given that the number of relations is 1024.
So, \(2^{n(A) \times n(B)} = 1024\).
We know that \(1024 = 2^{10}\).
Therefore, \(2^{5 \times n(B)} = 2^{10}\).
Equating the powers, \(5 \times n(B) = 10\).
\(n(B) = \frac{10}{5} = 2\).
The number of elements in B is 2.

Answer: b) 2

2. If the ordered pairs (a+2,4) and (5, 2a+b) are equal then (a,b) is

  • a) (2,-2)
  • b) (5,1)
  • c) (2,3)
  • d) (3,-2)

Solution:

Given that the ordered pairs are equal: (a+2, 4) = (5, 2a+b).
Equating the corresponding elements:
a + 2 = 5 => a = 5 - 2 => a = 3.
4 = 2a + b.
Substitute a = 3 in the second equation:
4 = 2(3) + b => 4 = 6 + b => b = 4 - 6 => b = -2.
So, (a,b) is (3, -2).

Answer: d) (3,-2)

3. If \(f(x)=2x^2\) and \(g(x)=\frac{1}{3x}\), then fog is

  • a) \(\frac{3}{2x^2}\)
  • b) \(\frac{2}{3x^2}\)
  • c) \(\frac{2}{9x^2}\)
  • d) \(\frac{1}{6x^2}\)

Solution:

\(f(x) = 2x^2\), \(g(x) = \frac{1}{3x}\).
\(fog(x) = f(g(x))\).
Substitute g(x) into f(x):
\(f(g(x)) = f(\frac{1}{3x}) = 2\left(\frac{1}{3x}\right)^2 = 2\left(\frac{1}{9x^2}\right) = \frac{2}{9x^2}\).

Answer: c) \(\frac{2}{9x^2}\)

4. Using Euclid's division lemma, if the cube of any positive integer is divided by 9 then the possible remainders are,

  • a) 0,1,8
  • b) 1,4,8
  • c) 0,1,3
  • d) 1,3,5

Solution:

Let 'n' be any positive integer. By Euclid's division lemma, n can be of the form 3q, 3q+1, or 3q+2.
Case 1: n = 3q. \(n^3 = (3q)^3 = 27q^3 = 9(3q^3)\). Remainder is 0.
Case 2: n = 3q+1. \(n^3 = (3q+1)^3 = 27q^3 + 27q^2 + 9q + 1 = 9(3q^3+3q^2+q) + 1\). Remainder is 1.
Case 3: n = 3q+2. \(n^3 = (3q+2)^3 = 27q^3 + 54q^2 + 36q + 8 = 9(3q^3+6q^2+4q) + 8\). Remainder is 8.
The possible remainders are 0, 1, 8.

Answer: a) 0,1,8

5. The sum of exponents of the prime factors in the prime factorization of 1729 is

  • a) 1
  • b) 2
  • c) 3
  • d) 4

Solution:

Prime factorization of 1729:
1729 is divisible by 7: \(1729 = 7 \times 247\).
247 is divisible by 13: \(247 = 13 \times 19\).
So, \(1729 = 7^1 \times 13^1 \times 19^1\).
The exponents of the prime factors are 1, 1, and 1.
Sum of exponents = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3.

Answer: c) 3

6. The next term of the sequence \(\frac{1}{16}, \frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{12}, \frac{1}{18}, ...\) is

  • a) \(\frac{1}{24}\)
  • b) \(\frac{1}{27}\)
  • c) \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  • d) \(\frac{1}{81}\)

Solution:

Let's check the ratio between consecutive terms.
\(r_1 = \frac{1/8}{1/16} = 2\).
\(r_2 = \frac{1/12}{1/8} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}\).
\(r_3 = \frac{1/18}{1/12} = \frac{12}{18} = \frac{2}{3}\).
From the second term onwards, the sequence is a Geometric Progression (GP) with a common ratio \(r = \frac{2}{3}\).
The next term is \(\frac{1}{18} \times r = \frac{1}{18} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{54} = \frac{1}{27}\).

Answer: b) \(\frac{1}{27}\)

7. If (x-6) is the HCF of \(x^2-2x-24\) and \(x^2-kx-6\), then K is

  • a) 3
  • b) 5
  • c) 6
  • d) 8

Solution:

If (x-6) is the HCF, it must be a factor of both polynomials.
For P(x) = \(x^2-kx-6\), P(6) must be 0.
\(P(6) = (6)^2 - k(6) - 6 = 0\).
\(36 - 6k - 6 = 0\).
\(30 - 6k = 0\).
\(30 = 6k\).
\(k = \frac{30}{6} = 5\).

Answer: b) 5

8. Which of the following should be added to make \(x^4+64\) a perfect square

  • a) \(4x^2\)
  • b) \(16x^2\)
  • c) \(8x^2\)
  • d) \(-8x^2\)

Solution:

We have \(x^4+64 = (x^2)^2 + 8^2\).
This is in the form of \(a^2+b^2\). To make it a perfect square \((a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2\), we need to add 2ab.
Here, a = \(x^2\) and b = 8.
\(2ab = 2(x^2)(8) = 16x^2\).
Adding \(16x^2\) gives \(x^4 + 16x^2 + 64 = (x^2+8)^2\), which is a perfect square.

Answer: b) \(16x^2\)

9. The solution of \((2x-1)^2 = 9\) is Equal to (Note: The original paper has a typo of \((2x-1)^2=0\), we solve for the likely intended question \((2x-1)^2=9\) or the printed value.)

  • a) -1, 2
  • b) 2
  • c) -1,2
  • d) None of these

Solution based on the printed paper \((2x-1)^2 = 0\):

\((2x-1)^2 = 0\)
Taking square root on both sides: \(2x - 1 = 0\).
\(2x = 1\).
\(x = \frac{1}{2}\).
This solution is not among options a, b, or c.

Answer: d) None of these


Solution for likely intended question \((2x-1)^2 = 9\):

\((2x-1)^2 = 9\)
Taking square root on both sides: \(2x - 1 = \pm\sqrt{9}\).
\(2x - 1 = \pm 3\).
Case 1: \(2x - 1 = 3 \Rightarrow 2x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2\).
Case 2: \(2x - 1 = -3 \Rightarrow 2x = -2 \Rightarrow x = -1\).
The solutions are -1 and 2.

10. If in \(\triangle ABC\), DE || BC, AB = 3.6cm, AC = 2.4 cm, and AD = 2.1 cm then the length of AE is

  • a) 1.4 cm
  • b) 1.8 cm
  • c) 1.2 cm
  • d) 1.05 cm

Solution:

Given DE || BC in \(\triangle ABC\). By Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales' Theorem), the sides are proportional.
\(\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AE}{AC}\).
Given: AB = 3.6 cm, AC = 2.4 cm, AD = 2.1 cm.
\(\frac{2.1}{3.6} = \frac{AE}{2.4}\).
\(AE = \frac{2.1 \times 2.4}{3.6} = \frac{2.1 \times 24}{36} = \frac{2.1 \times 2}{3} = 0.7 \times 2 = 1.4\).
The length of AE is 1.4 cm.

Answer: a) 1.4 cm

11. The Point of intersection of 3x-y=4 and x+y=8 is

  • a) (5,3)
  • b) (2,4)
  • c) (3,5)
  • d) (4,4)

Solution:

We have two linear equations:
1) \(3x - y = 4\)
2) \(x + y = 8\)
Add equation (1) and (2):
\((3x - y) + (x + y) = 4 + 8\)
\(4x = 12 \Rightarrow x = 3\).
Substitute x=3 into equation (2):
\(3 + y = 8 \Rightarrow y = 5\).
The point of intersection is (3,5).

Answer: c) (3,5)

12. The straight line given by the equation x=11 is

  • a) Parallel to X-axis
  • b) Parallel to Y-axis
  • c) Passing through Origin
  • d) Passing through (0,11)

Solution:

The equation x = c (where c is a constant) represents a vertical line. All points on this line have an x-coordinate of 11. A vertical line is always parallel to the Y-axis.

Answer: b) Parallel to Y-axis

13. The Slope of the line which is perpendicular to a line joining the points (0,0) and (-8,8) is

  • a) -1
  • b) 1
  • c) \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  • d) 8

Solution:

First, find the slope (\(m_1\)) of the line joining (0,0) and (-8,8).
\(m_1 = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{8-0}{-8-0} = \frac{8}{-8} = -1\).
The slope of a line perpendicular to this line (\(m_2\)) satisfies the condition \(m_1 \times m_2 = -1\).
\(-1 \times m_2 = -1 \Rightarrow m_2 = 1\).

Answer: b) 1

14. \(Tan\theta Cosec^2\theta - Tan\theta\) is Equal to

  • a) Sec \(\theta\)
  • b) Cot\(^2 \theta\)
  • c) Sin \(\theta\)
  • d) Cot \(\theta\)

Solution:

Factor out \(Tan\theta\):
\(Tan\theta(Cosec^2\theta - 1)\).
Using the trigonometric identity \(1 + Cot^2\theta = Cosec^2\theta\), we get \(Cosec^2\theta - 1 = Cot^2\theta\).
Substitute this back: \(Tan\theta \times Cot^2\theta\).
Since \(Cot\theta = \frac{1}{Tan\theta}\), we have \(Tan\theta \times \frac{1}{Tan^2\theta} = \frac{1}{Tan\theta} = Cot\theta\).

Answer: d) Cot \(\theta\)

Part II: Answer any 10 from the following (Q.No: 28 is compulsory) (10 x 2 = 20)

15. If AxB = {(3,2), (3,4), (5,2), (5,4)} then find A and B.

Solution:

Set A is the collection of all first elements in the ordered pairs of AxB. A = {3, 5}.

Set B is the collection of all second elements in the ordered pairs of AxB. B = {2, 4}.

16. If \(f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6\) then evaluate f(2).

Solution:

Given \(f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6\).
To find f(2), substitute x = 2 in the expression.
\(f(2) = (2)^2 - 5(2) + 6 = 4 - 10 + 6 = 0\).

17. Find k if fof(k) = 5 Where f(k) = 2k-1.

Solution:

Given f(k) = 2k-1.
fof(k) = f(f(k)) = f(2k-1).
Substitute (2k-1) into f(k):
f(2k-1) = 2(2k-1) - 1 = 4k - 2 - 1 = 4k - 3.
Given fof(k) = 5.
So, 4k - 3 = 5.
4k = 8.
k = 2.

18. If \(800 = 2^a \times 5^b\), then find a and b. (Note: Corrected from OCR)

Solution:

We need to find the prime factorization of 800.
\(800 = 8 \times 100 = 2^3 \times 10^2 = 2^3 \times (2 \times 5)^2 = 2^3 \times 2^2 \times 5^2 = 2^{3+2} \times 5^2 = 2^5 \times 5^2\).
Comparing this with \(2^a \times 5^b\), we get a = 5 and b = 2.

19. Find the sum of 6+13+20+......+97.

Solution:

The given series is an Arithmetic Progression (AP).
First term (a) = 6.
Common difference (d) = 13 - 6 = 7.
Last term (l) = 97.
First, find the number of terms (n):
\(l = a + (n-1)d \Rightarrow 97 = 6 + (n-1)7\).
\(91 = (n-1)7 \Rightarrow n-1 = 13 \Rightarrow n = 14\).
Sum of the series \(S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a+l)\).
\(S_{14} = \frac{14}{2}(6+97) = 7(103) = 721\).

20. Find x so that x+6, x+12, and x+15 are Consecutive Terms of a geometric progression.

Solution:

If three terms are in GP, the square of the middle term is equal to the product of the other two terms.
\((x+12)^2 = (x+6)(x+15)\).
\(x^2 + 24x + 144 = x^2 + 15x + 6x + 90\).
\(x^2 + 24x + 144 = x^2 + 21x + 90\).
\(24x - 21x = 90 - 144\).
\(3x = -54 \Rightarrow x = -18\).

21. Find the Lcm of \(8x^4y^2\), \(48x^2y^4\).

Solution:

LCM of the coefficients (8, 48) is 48.
LCM of the variables with the highest powers:
For x: \(LCM(x^4, x^2) = x^4\).
For y: \(LCM(y^2, y^4) = y^4\).
The LCM is \(48x^4y^4\).

22. Simplify: \(\frac{y}{x-y} - \frac{x}{y-x}\)

Solution:

\(\frac{y}{x-y} - \frac{x}{y-x} = \frac{y}{x-y} - \frac{x}{-(x-y)}\)
\( = \frac{y}{x-y} + \frac{x}{x-y}\)
\( = \frac{y+x}{x-y}\).

23. Determine the quadratic Equation, Whose Sum and Product of roots are -9, 20.

Solution:

The general form of a quadratic equation is \(x^2 - (sum \ of \ roots)x + (product \ of \ roots) = 0\).
Sum of roots = -9.
Product of roots = 20.
The equation is \(x^2 - (-9)x + 20 = 0\).
\(x^2 + 9x + 20 = 0\).

24. If \(\triangle ABC\) is Similar to \(\triangle DEF\) Such that BC = 3cm, EF = 4 cm, and area of \(\triangle ABC\) = 54 Cm\(^2\) find the area of \(\triangle DEF\).

Solution:

For similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
\(\frac{Area(\triangle ABC)}{Area(\triangle DEF)} = \left(\frac{BC}{EF}\right)^2\).
\(\frac{54}{Area(\triangle DEF)} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{16}\).
\(Area(\triangle DEF) = \frac{54 \times 16}{9} = 6 \times 16 = 96 \ cm^2\).

25. Find the slope of a line joining (-6,1) and (-3,2).

Solution:

Slope \(m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\).
Let \((x_1, y_1) = (-6,1)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-3,2)\).
\(m = \frac{2-1}{-3-(-6)} = \frac{1}{-3+6} = \frac{1}{3}\).

26. Find the equation of a line whose inclination is 30° and making an intercept - 3 on the Y - axis.

Solution:

Inclination \(\theta = 30^\circ\).
Slope \(m = \tan(\theta) = \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\).
Y-intercept (c) = -3.
The equation of the line is y = mx + c.
\(y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x - 3\).
Multiplying by \(\sqrt{3}\): \(\sqrt{3}y = x - 3\sqrt{3}\).
Standard form: \(x - \sqrt{3}y - 3\sqrt{3} = 0\).

27. Prove that \(\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos\theta}{1-\cos\theta}} = Cosec\theta + Cot\theta\).

Solution:

LHS = \(\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos\theta}{1-\cos\theta}}\).
Multiply numerator and denominator inside the square root by \( (1+\cos\theta) \):
\( = \sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos\theta)(1+\cos\theta)}{(1-\cos\theta)(1+\cos\theta)}} = \sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos\theta)^2}{1-\cos^2\theta}}\).
Using \(sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1 \Rightarrow 1-\cos^2\theta = sin^2\theta\):
\( = \sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos\theta)^2}{sin^2\theta}} = \frac{1+\cos\theta}{sin\theta}\).
\( = \frac{1}{sin\theta} + \frac{\cos\theta}{sin\theta} = Cosec\theta + Cot\theta = \) RHS. Hence Proved.

28. (Compulsory) Show that the straight lines 5x+23y+14=0 and 23x-5y+9=0 are perpendicular.

Solution:

For two lines \(a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0\) and \(a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0\) to be perpendicular, the condition is \(a_1a_2 + b_1b_2 = 0\). Or, their slopes \(m_1m_2 = -1\).
Slope of the first line (\(m_1\)) = \(-\frac{\text{coeff of x}}{\text{coeff of y}} = -\frac{5}{23}\).
Slope of the second line (\(m_2\)) = \(-\frac{23}{-5} = \frac{23}{5}\).
Product of slopes = \(m_1 \times m_2 = \left(-\frac{5}{23}\right) \times \left(\frac{23}{5}\right) = -1\).
Since the product of their slopes is -1, the lines are perpendicular.

Part III: Answer any 10 from the following (Q.No: 42 is compulsory) (10 x 5 = 50)

29. If A = {5,6}, B = {4,5,6}, C = {5,6,7}, Shows that AxA = (BxB) \(\cap\) (CxC).

Solution:

Given A = {5,6}, B = {4,5,6}, C = {5,6,7}.
LHS: AxA
AxA = {5,6} x {5,6} = {(5,5), (5,6), (6,5), (6,6)}.
RHS: (BxB) \(\cap\) (CxC)
BxB = {4,5,6} x {4,5,6} = {(4,4),(4,5),(4,6), (5,4),(5,5),(5,6), (6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}.
CxC = {5,6,7} x {5,6,7} = {(5,5),(5,6),(5,7), (6,5),(6,6),(6,7), (7,5),(7,6),(7,7)}.
(BxB) \(\cap\) (CxC) is the set of common elements in BxB and CxC.
(BxB) \(\cap\) (CxC) = {(5,5), (5,6), (6,5), (6,6)}.
Since LHS = RHS, it is proved that AxA = (BxB) \(\cap\) (CxC).

30. Let A = {1,2,3,4} and B = {2,5,8,11,14} be two sets. Let f: A→B be a function given by f(x) = 3x-1. Represent this function as (1) set of ordered pairs, (2) a table, (3) an arrow diagram, (4) a graphical form.

Solution:

f(x) = 3x-1. Domain A = {1,2,3,4}.
f(1) = 3(1)-1 = 2
f(2) = 3(2)-1 = 5
f(3) = 3(3)-1 = 8
f(4) = 3(4)-1 = 11
(1) Set of ordered pairs:
f = {(1,2), (2,5), (3,8), (4,11)}
(2) Table form:

xf(x)
12
25
38
411
(3) Arrow Diagram:
Draw two ovals. In the first (A), write 1,2,3,4. In the second (B), write 2,5,8,11,14. Draw arrows from 1 to 2, 2 to 5, 3 to 8, and 4 to 11.

31. A function f is defined by f(x) = 3-2x. Find x such that \(f(x^2) = [f(x)]^2\).

Solution:

Given f(x) = 3-2x.
LHS: \(f(x^2) = 3 - 2x^2\).
RHS: \([f(x)]^2 = (3-2x)^2 = 3^2 - 2(3)(2x) + (2x)^2 = 9 - 12x + 4x^2\).
Equating LHS and RHS:
\(3 - 2x^2 = 9 - 12x + 4x^2\).
Rearranging the terms to form a quadratic equation:
\(4x^2 + 2x^2 - 12x + 9 - 3 = 0\).
\(6x^2 - 12x + 6 = 0\).
Divide by 6: \(x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0\).
This is a perfect square: \((x-1)^2 = 0\).
Therefore, x - 1 = 0, which gives x = 1.

32. If the highest common factor of 210 and 55 is Expressible in the form 55x-325. Then find x.

Solution:

First, find the HCF of 210 and 55 using Euclid's Division Algorithm.
210 = 3 × 55 + 45
55 = 1 × 45 + 10
45 = 4 × 10 + 5
10 = 2 × 5 + 0
The HCF is 5.
Given that the HCF is expressible as 55x - 325.
So, 55x - 325 = 5.
55x = 5 + 325 = 330.
x = 330 / 55 = 6.

33. The ratio of 6th and 8th term of an A.P is 7:9. Find the ratio of 9th term to 13th term.

Solution:

Let the AP have first term 'a' and common difference 'd'.
Given \(\frac{a_6}{a_8} = \frac{7}{9}\).
\(\frac{a+5d}{a+7d} = \frac{7}{9}\).
\(9(a+5d) = 7(a+7d)\).
\(9a + 45d = 7a + 49d\).
\(2a = 4d \Rightarrow a = 2d\).
We need to find the ratio \(\frac{a_9}{a_{13}}\).
\(\frac{a_9}{a_{13}} = \frac{a+8d}{a+12d}\).
Substitute a = 2d:
\(\frac{2d+8d}{2d+12d} = \frac{10d}{14d} = \frac{10}{14} = \frac{5}{7}\).
The ratio is 5:7.

34. Rekha has 15 squares colour papers of sizes 10cm, 11cm, 12cm,........ 24cm how much area can be decorated with these colour papers?

Solution:

The total area is the sum of the areas of all square papers.
Total Area = \(10^2 + 11^2 + 12^2 + ... + 24^2\).
We can write this as \((1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 24^2) - (1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 9^2)\).
Using the formula for the sum of squares of first n natural numbers, \(\sum n^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\).
Sum up to 24: \(\frac{24(24+1)(2(24)+1)}{6} = \frac{24(25)(49)}{6} = 4 \times 25 \times 49 = 4900\).
Sum up to 9: \(\frac{9(9+1)(2(9)+1)}{6} = \frac{9(10)(19)}{6} = 3 \times 5 \times 19 = 285\).
Total Area = 4900 - 285 = 4615 cm\(^2\).

35. If \(x = \frac{a^2+3a-4}{3a^2-3}\) and \(y = \frac{a^2+2a-8}{2a^2-2a-4}\) then find the value of \(x^2y^{-2}\)

Solution:

First, simplify x and y by factoring the polynomials.
\(x = \frac{(a+4)(a-1)}{3(a^2-1)} = \frac{(a+4)(a-1)}{3(a-1)(a+1)} = \frac{a+4}{3(a+1)}\).
\(y = \frac{(a+4)(a-2)}{2(a^2-a-2)} = \frac{(a+4)(a-2)}{2(a-2)(a+1)} = \frac{a+4}{2(a+1)}\).
We need to find \(x^2y^{-2} = \frac{x^2}{y^2} = \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^2\).
\(\frac{x}{y} = \frac{\frac{a+4}{3(a+1)}}{\frac{a+4}{2(a+1)}} = \frac{a+4}{3(a+1)} \times \frac{2(a+1)}{a+4} = \frac{2}{3}\).
Therefore, \(\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9}\).

36. Find the square root of \(64x^4-16x^3+17x^2-2x+1\)

Solution:

Using the long division method for finding the square root of a polynomial:
\[ \begin{array}{r|l} \multicolumn{2}{r}{8x^2 - x + 1} \\ \cline{2-2} 8x^2 & 64x^4 - 16x^3 + 17x^2 - 2x + 1 \\ \multicolumn{2}{r}{-64x^4} \\ \cline{2-2} 16x^2-x & -16x^3 + 17x^2 \\ \multicolumn{2}{r}{-(-16x^3 + x^2)} \\ \cline{2-2} 16x^2-2x+1 & 16x^2 - 2x + 1 \\ \multicolumn{2}{r}{-(16x^2 - 2x + 1)} \\ \cline{2-2} \multicolumn{2}{r}{0} \\ \end{array} \] The square root is \(|8x^2 - x + 1|\).

37. If \(\alpha, \beta\) are the roots of \(2x^2-7x+5=0\). Find the value of 1) \(\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta}\) 2) \(\frac{\alpha}{\beta} + \frac{\beta}{\alpha}\)

Solution:

For the quadratic equation \(2x^2-7x+5=0\):
Sum of roots, \(\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-7}{2} = \frac{7}{2}\).
Product of roots, \(\alpha\beta = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{5}{2}\).
1) \(\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} = \frac{\beta+\alpha}{\alpha\beta} = \frac{7/2}{5/2} = \frac{7}{5}\).
2) \(\frac{\alpha}{\beta} + \frac{\beta}{\alpha} = \frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2}{\alpha\beta}\).
First find \(\alpha^2+\beta^2 = (\alpha+\beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = (\frac{7}{2})^2 - 2(\frac{5}{2}) = \frac{49}{4} - 5 = \frac{49-20}{4} = \frac{29}{4}\).
So, \(\frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2}{\alpha\beta} = \frac{29/4}{5/2} = \frac{29}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{29}{10}\).

38. State and prove basic Proportionality theorem.

Solution:

Statement (Thales' Theorem): If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Proof:
Given: In \(\triangle ABC\), a line DE is parallel to BC, intersecting AB at D and AC at E.
To Prove: \(\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}\).
Construction: Join BE and CD. Draw DM \(\perp\) AC and EN \(\perp\) AB.
Proof:
Area of \(\triangle ADE = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height = \frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EN\).
Area of \(\triangle BDE = \frac{1}{2} \times DB \times EN\).
\(\frac{Area(\triangle ADE)}{Area(\triangle BDE)} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EN}{\frac{1}{2} \times DB \times EN} = \frac{AD}{DB}\) --- (1)
Similarly,
Area of \(\triangle ADE = \frac{1}{2} \times AE \times DM\).
Area of \(\triangle CDE = \frac{1}{2} \times EC \times DM\).
\(\frac{Area(\triangle ADE)}{Area(\triangle CDE)} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times AE \times DM}{\frac{1}{2} \times EC \times DM} = \frac{AE}{EC}\) --- (2)
\(\triangle BDE\) and \(\triangle CDE\) are on the same base DE and between the same parallel lines DE and BC.
So, Area(\(\triangle BDE\)) = Area(\(\triangle CDE\)).
From (1) and (2), we get \(\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}\). Hence Proved.

39. Find the area of the Quadrilateral formed by the points (8,6), (5,11), (-5,12) and (-4,3).

Solution:

Let the vertices be A(8,6), B(5,11), C(-5,12), and D(-4,3).
Area of quadrilateral = \(\frac{1}{2} |(x_1y_2+x_2y_3+x_3y_4+x_4y_1) - (y_1x_2+y_2x_3+y_3x_4+y_4x_1)|\).
= \(\frac{1}{2} |(8 \times 11 + 5 \times 12 + (-5) \times 3 + (-4) \times 6) - (6 \times 5 + 11 \times (-5) + 12 \times (-4) + 3 \times 8)|\).
= \(\frac{1}{2} |(88 + 60 - 15 - 24) - (30 - 55 - 48 + 24)|\).
= \(\frac{1}{2} |(148 - 39) - (54 - 103)|\).
= \(\frac{1}{2} |(109) - (-49)| = \frac{1}{2} |109 + 49| = \frac{1}{2} |158|\).
= 79 sq. units.

40. A(-3,0), B(10,-2), C(12,3) are the vertices of \(\triangle ABC\). Find the equation of the Altitude through A and B.

Solution:

Altitude through A:
This altitude is perpendicular to BC. First, find the slope of BC.
Slope of BC (\(m_{BC}\)) = \(\frac{3 - (-2)}{12 - 10} = \frac{5}{2}\).
Slope of altitude from A (\(m_A\)) = \(-\frac{1}{m_{BC}} = -\frac{2}{5}\).
Equation of altitude from A, passing through (-3,0):
\(y - 0 = -\frac{2}{5}(x - (-3)) \Rightarrow 5y = -2(x+3) \Rightarrow 2x + 5y + 6 = 0\).
Altitude through B:
This altitude is perpendicular to AC. First, find the slope of AC.
Slope of AC (\(m_{AC}\)) = \(\frac{3 - 0}{12 - (-3)} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}\).
Slope of altitude from B (\(m_B\)) = \(-\frac{1}{m_{AC}} = -5\).
Equation of altitude from B, passing through (10,-2):
\(y - (-2) = -5(x - 10) \Rightarrow y + 2 = -5x + 50 \Rightarrow 5x + y - 48 = 0\).

41. Prove that \(\frac{SinA}{1+CosA} + \frac{SinA}{1-CosA} = 2 Cosec A\).

Solution:

LHS = \(\frac{SinA}{1+CosA} + \frac{SinA}{1-CosA}\).
Take Sin A common: \(SinA \left[ \frac{1}{1+CosA} + \frac{1}{1-CosA} \right]\).
Take LCM inside the bracket: \(SinA \left[ \frac{(1-CosA) + (1+CosA)}{(1+CosA)(1-CosA)} \right]\).
\( = SinA \left[ \frac{2}{1-Cos^2A} \right]\).
Using \(Sin^2A + Cos^2A = 1 \Rightarrow 1-Cos^2A = Sin^2A\):
\( = SinA \left[ \frac{2}{Sin^2A} \right] = \frac{2}{SinA} = 2 Cosec A = \) RHS. Hence Proved.

42. (Compulsory) Solve: x+y+z=5; 2x-y+z=9; x-2y+3z = 16.

Solution:

Let the equations be:
(1) x + y + z = 5
(2) 2x - y + z = 9
(3) x - 2y + 3z = 16
Add (1) and (2) to eliminate y:
(x+y+z) + (2x-y+z) = 5+9 \(\Rightarrow\) 3x + 2z = 14 --- (4)
Multiply (1) by 2 and add to (3) to eliminate y:
2(x+y+z) = 10 \(\Rightarrow\) 2x + 2y + 2z = 10.
(2x+2y+2z) + (x-2y+3z) = 10+16 \(\Rightarrow\) 3x + 5z = 26 --- (5)
Now solve (4) and (5):
Subtract (4) from (5):
(3x + 5z) - (3x + 2z) = 26 - 14 \(\Rightarrow\) 3z = 12 \(\Rightarrow\) z = 4.
Substitute z=4 into (4):
3x + 2(4) = 14 \(\Rightarrow\) 3x + 8 = 14 \(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 6 \(\Rightarrow\) x = 2.
Substitute x=2 and z=4 into (1):
2 + y + 4 = 5 \(\Rightarrow\) y + 6 = 5 \(\Rightarrow\) y = -1.
The solution is x=2, y=-1, z=4.

Part IV: Answer any one from given two questions (EACH) (2 x 8 = 16)

44. (a) A bus is travelling at a uniform speed of 50 km/hr. Draw a distance-time graph and find:

  1. How far will it go in 90 minutes?
  2. Time required to cover the distance of 300 km.
(or)

(b) Draw the graph of xy = 24, x,y>0. Using the graph find

  1. y when x=3
  2. x when y=6

Solution for 44(a):

The relationship is Distance = Speed × Time, so \(d = 50t\). This is a linear relationship.
Table of values:

Time (t) in hours1234
Distance (d) in km50100150200
Graph: Draw a graph with Time (in hours) on the X-axis and Distance (in km) on the Y-axis. Plot the points (0,0), (1,50), (2,100), etc., and draw a straight line through them.
From the graph:

  1. Distance in 90 minutes: 90 minutes = 1.5 hours. Locate 1.5 on the X-axis. Move up to the line and then across to the Y-axis. The value will be 75. So, the bus travels 75 km.
  2. Time for 300 km: Locate 300 on the Y-axis. Move across to the line and then down to the X-axis. The value will be 6. So, the time required is 6 hours.


Solution for 44(b):

The equation is xy = 24, or \(y = \frac{24}{x}\).
Table of values:

x12346812
y241286432
Graph: Draw a graph with X and Y axes. Plot the points (1,24), (2,12), (3,8), (4,6), (6,4), (8,3), (12,2). Connect them with a smooth curve (a rectangular hyperbola in the first quadrant).
From the graph:

  1. y when x=3: Find x=3 on the X-axis. Move vertically up to the curve. From that point, move horizontally to the Y-axis. The y-value is 8.
  2. x when y=6: Find y=6 on the Y-axis. Move horizontally to the curve. From that point, move vertically down to the X-axis. The x-value is 4.
