Answer:

Question 2.
Write the first three terms of the G.P. whose first term and the common ratio are given below.
(i) a = 6, r = 3
Answer:
a = 6, r = 3
ar = 6 × 3 = 18,
ar² = 6 × 9 = 54
The three terms are 6, 18 and 54

(ii) a = \(\sqrt { 2 }\), r = \(\sqrt { 2 }\).
Answer:
ar = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × \(\sqrt { 2 }\) = 2,
ar² = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × 2 = 2 \(\sqrt { 2 }\)
The three terms are \(\sqrt { 2 }\), 2 and 2\(\sqrt { 2 }\)

(iii) a = 1000, r = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \)
Answer:
ar = 1000 × \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \) = 400,
ar² = 1000 × \(\frac { 4 }{ 25 } \) = 40 × 4 = 160
The three terms are 1000,400 and 160.

Question 3.
In a G.P. 729, 243, 81,… find t₇.
Answer:
The G.P. is 729, 243, 81,….

Question 4.
Find x so that x + 6, x + 12 and x + 15 are consecutive terms of a Geometric Progression
Solution:
G.P = x + 6, x + 12, x + 15
In G.P r = \(\frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}}=\frac{t_{3}}{t_{2}}\)
\(\frac{x+12}{x+6}=\frac{x+15}{x+12}\)
(x + 12)² = (x + 6) (x + 5)
x² + 24x + 144 = x² + 6x + 15x + 90
24x – 21x = 90 – 144
3x = -54
x = \(\frac { -54 }{ 3 } \) = -18
x = -18

Question 5.
Find the number of terms in the following G.P.

(i) 4,8,16,…,8192?
Answer:
Here a = 4; r = \(\frac { 8 }{ 4 } \) = 2
t_n = 8192

a . r^n-1 = 8192 ⇒ 4 × 2^n-1 = 8192
2^n-1 = \(\frac { 8192 }{ 4 } \) = 2048
2^n-1 = 2¹¹ ⇒ n – 1 = 11
n = 11 + 1 ⇒ n = 12
Number of terms = 12

(ii) \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \), \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \), \(\frac { 1 }{ 27 } \), ……………, \(\frac { 1 }{ 2187 } \)
Answer:
a = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) ; r = \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \) ÷ \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \) × \(\frac { 3 }{ 1 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)

t_n = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2187 } \)
a. r^n-1 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2187 } \)

n – 1 = 6 ⇒ n = 6 + 1 = 7
Number of terms = 7

Question 6.
In a G.P. the 9^th term is 32805 and 6^th term is 1215. Find the 12^th term.
Answer:
Given, 9^th term = 32805
a. r^n-1 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2187 } \)
t₉ = 32805 [t_n = ar^n-1]
a.r⁸ = 32805 …..(1)
6^th term = 1215
a.r⁵ = 1215 …..(2)
Divide (1) by (2)
\(\frac{a r^{8}}{a r^{5}}\) = \(\frac { 32805 }{ 1215 } \) ⇒ r³ = \(\frac { 6561 }{ 243 } \)
= \(\frac { 2187 }{ 81 } \) = \(\frac { 729 }{ 27 } \) = \(\frac { 243 }{ 9 } \) = \(\frac { 81 }{ 3 } \)
r³ = 27 ⇒ r³ = 3³
r = 3
Substitute the value of r = 3 in (2)
a. 3⁵ = 1215
a × 243 = 1215
a = \(\frac { 1215 }{ 243 } \) = 5
Here a = 5, r = 3, n = 12
t₁₂ = 5 × 3^(12-1)
= 5 × 3¹¹
∴ 12^th term of a G.P. = 5 × 3¹¹

Question 7.
Find the 10th term of a G.P. whose 8^th term is 768 and the common ratio is 2.
Solution:
t₈ = 768 = ar⁷
r = 2
t₁₀ = ar⁹ = ar⁷ × r × r
= 768 × 2 × 2 = 3072

Question 8.
If a, b, c are in A.P. then show that 3^a, 3^b, 3^c are in G.P.
Answer:
a, b, c are in A.P.
t₂ – t₁ = t₃ – t₂
b – a = c – b
2b = a + c …..(1)
3^a, 3^b, 3^c are in G.P.

From (1) and (2) we get
3^a, 3^b, 3^c are in G.P.

Question 9.
In a G.P. the product of three consecutive terms is 27 and the sum of the product of two terms taken at a time is \(\frac { 57 }{ 2 } \). Find the three terms.
Answer:
Let the three terms of the G.P. be \(\frac { a }{ r } \), a, ar
Product of three terms = 27
\(\frac { a }{ r } \) × a × ar = 27
a³ = 27 ⇒ a³ = 3³
a = 3
Sum of the product of two terms taken at a time is \(\frac { 57 }{ 2 } \)

6r² – 13r + 6 = 0
6r² – 9r – 4r + 6 = 0
3r (2r – 3) -2(2r – 3) = 0
(2r – 3) (3r – 2) = 0
2r – 3 = 0 or 3r – 2 = 0
2r = 3 (or) 3r – 2 = 0
r = \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \) (or) r = \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)

∴ The three terms are 2, 3 and \(\frac { 9 }{ 2 } \) or \(\frac { 9 }{ 2 } \), 3 and 2

Question 10.
A man joined a company as Assistant Manager. The company gave him a starting salary of ₹60,000 and agreed to increase his salary 5% annually. What will be his salary after 5 years?
Answer:
Starting salary (a) = ₹ 60000
Increased salary = 5% of starting salary
= \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 } \) × 60000
= ₹ 3000
Starting salary for the 2nd year = 60000 + 3000
= ₹ 63000
Year increase = 5% of 63000
= \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 } \) × 63000
= ₹ 3150
Starting salary for the 3^rd year = 63000 + 3150
= ₹ 66150
60000, 63000, 66150,…. form a G.P.
a = 60000; r = \(\frac { 63000 }{ 60000 } \) = \(\frac { 63 }{ 60 } \) = \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 } \)
t_n = an^n-1
t₅ = (60000) (\(\frac { 21 }{ 20 } \))⁴
= 60000 × \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 } \) × \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 } \) × \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 } \) × \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 } \)
= \(\frac{6 \times 21 \times 21 \times 21 \times 21}{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}\)
= 72930.38
5% increase = \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 } \) × 72930.38
= ₹ 3646.51
Salary after 5 years = ₹ 72930.38 + 3646.51
= ₹ 76576.90
= ₹ 76577

Question 11.
Sivamani is attending an interview for a job and the company gave two offers to him. Offer A: ₹20,000 to start with followed by a guaranteed annual increase of 6% for the first 5 years.
Offer B: ₹22,000 to start with followed by a guaranteed annual increase of 3% for the first 5 years.
What is his salary in the 4^th year with respect to the offers A and B?
Answer:
Starting salary (a) = ₹ 20,000
Annual increase = 6% of 20000
= \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 } \) × 20000
= ₹ 1200
Salary for the 2nd year = ₹ 20000 + 1200
= ₹ 21200
Here a = 20,000; r = \(\frac { 21200 }{ 20000 } \) = \(\frac { 212 }{ 200 } \) = \(\frac { 106 }{ 100 } \) = \(\frac { 53 }{ 50 } \)
n = 4 years
t_n = ar^n-1

Salary at the end of 4^th year = 23820

For B
Starting salary = ₹ 22000
(a) = 22000
Annual increase = 3% of 22000
= \(\frac { 3 }{ 100 } \) × 22000
= ₹ 660
Salary for the 2nd year = ₹ 22000 + ₹ 660
= ₹ 22,660
Here a = 22000; r = \(\frac { 22660 }{ 22000 } \)
= \(\frac { 2266 }{ 2200 } \) = \(\frac { 1133 }{ 1100 } \) = \(\frac { 103 }{ 100 } \)
Salary at the end of 4th year = 22000 × (\(\frac { 103 }{ 100 } \))^4-1
= 22000 × (\(\frac { 103 }{ 100 } \))³
= 22000 × \(\frac { 103 }{ 100 } \) × \(\frac { 103 }{ 100 } \) × \(\frac { 103 }{ 100 } \)

= 24039.99 = 24040
4^th year Salary for A = ₹ 23820 and 4^th year Salary for B = ₹ 24040

Question 12.

Question 4.
If x = \(\sqrt{7}\) + 2, then find the value of x² + \(\frac{1}{x^2}\)
Solution:
\(\sqrt{7}\) + 2 ⇒ x² = \((\sqrt{5}+2)^{2}\)
= \((\sqrt{5})^{2}\) + 2 × 2 × \(\sqrt{5}\) + 2² = 5 + 4 \(\sqrt{5}\) + 4 = 9 + 4\(\sqrt{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+2}=\frac{\sqrt{5}-2}{(\sqrt{5}+2)(\sqrt{5}-2)}=\frac{\sqrt{5}-2}{(\sqrt{5})^{2}-2^{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}-2}{5-4}=\sqrt{5}-2\)
\(\frac{1}{x^{2}}\) = (\(\sqrt{5} – 2)^{2}\)
= \((\sqrt{5})^{2}\) – 2 × \(\sqrt{5}\) × 2 + 2² = 5 – 4 \(\sqrt{5}\) + 4 = 9 – 4 \(\sqrt{5}\)

= -15 + 11 = -4
n = 19
t_n = a + (n – 1) d
t_n = -11 + 18(-4)
= -11 – 72
t₁₉ = -83
19^th term of an A.P. is – 83

Question 5.
Which term of an A.P. 16, 11, 6,1, ……….. is -54?
Solution:
A.P = 16, 11,6, 1, ………..
It is given that
t_n = -54
a = 16, d = t₂ – t₁ = 11 – 16 = -5
∴ t_n = a + (n – 1)d
-54 = 16 + (n – 1) (-5)
-54 = 16 – 5n + 5
21 – 5n = -54
-5n = -54 -21
-5n = -75
n = \(\frac { 75 }{ 5 } \) =15
∴ 15th term is -54.

Question 6.
Find the middle term(s) of an A.P. 9, 15, 21, 27, …, 183.
Answer:
First term (a) = 9
Last term (l) = 183
Common difference (d) = 15 – 9 = 6
n = \(\frac { l-a }{ d } \) + 1
= \(\frac { 183-9 }{ 6 } \) + 1
= \(\frac { 174 }{ 6 } \) + 1
= 29 + 1
= 30
middle term = 15^th term of
16^th term
t_n = a + (n – 1)d
t₁₅ = 9 + 14(6)
= 9 + 84 = 93
t₁₆ = 9 + 15(6)
= 9 + 90 = 99
The middle term is 93 or 99

Question 7.
If nine times ninth term is equal to the fifteen times fifteenth term, show that six times twenty fourth term is zero.
Solution:
Nine times ninth term = Fifteen times fifteenth term
9t₉ = 15t₁₅
9(a + 8d) = 5(a + 14d)
9a + 72d = 15a + 210
15a + 210d – 9a – 72d = 0
⇒ 6a + 138 d = 0
⇒ 6(a + 23 d) = 0
⇒ 6(a + (24 – 1)d) = 0
⇒ 6t₂₄ = 0. Hence it is proved.

Question 8.
If 3 + k, 18 – k, 5k + 1 are in A.P. then find k?
Answer:
3 + k, 18 – k, 5k + 1 are in AP
∴ t₂ – t₁ = t₃ – t₂ (common difference is same)
18 – k – (3 + k) = 5k + 1 – (18 – k)
18 – k – 3 – k = 5k + 1 – 18 + k
15 – 2k = 6k – 17
32 = 8k
k = \(\frac { 32 }{ 8 } \) = 4
The value of k = 4

Question 9.
Find x, y and z, given that the numbers x, 10, y, 24, z are in A.P.
Solution:
A.P = x, 10, y, 24, z,…
d = t₂ – t₁ = 10 – x ………….. (1)
= t₃ – t₂ = y – 10 ………….. (2)
= t₄ – t₃ = 24 – y …………. (3)
= t₅ – t₄ = z – 24 ………….. (4)
(2) and (3)
⇒ y – 10 = 24 – y
2y = 24 + 10 = 34
y = \(\frac { 34 }{ 2 } \) = 17
(1) and (2)
⇒ 10 – x = y – 10
10 – x = 17 – 10 = 7
-x = 7 – 10
-x = -3 ⇒ x = 3
From (3) and (4)
24 – y = z – 24
24 – 17 = z – 24
7 = z – 24
∴ z = 7 + 24 = 31
∴ Solutions x = 3
y = 17
z = 31

Question 10.
In a theatre, there are 20 seats in the front row and 30 rows were allotted. Each successive row contains two additional seats than its front row. How many seats are there in the last row?
Answer:
Number of seats in the first row
(a) = 20
∴ t₁ = 20
Number of seats in the second row
(t₂) = 20 + 2
= 22
Number of seats in the third row
(t₃) = 22 + 2
= 24
Here a = 20 ; d = 2
Number of rows
(n) = 30
t_n = a + (n – 1)d
t₃₀ = 20 + 29(2)
= 20 + 58
t₃₀ = 78
Number of seats in the last row is 78

Question 11.
The sum of three consecutive terms that are in A.P. is 27 and their product is 288. Find the three terms.
Solution:
Let the three consecutive terms be a – d, a, a + d
Their sum = a – d + a + a + d = 27
3a = 27
a = \(\frac{27}{3}\) = 9
Their product = (a – d)(a)(a + d) = 288
= 9(a² – d²) = 288
⇒ 9(9 – d²) = 288
⇒ 9(81 – d²) = 288
81 – d² = 32
-d² = 32 – 81
d² = 49
⇒ d = ± 7
∴ The three terms are if a = 9, d = 7
a – d, a , a + d = 9 – 7, 9 + 7
A.P. = 2, 9, 16
if a = 9, d = -7
A.P. = 9 – (-7), 9, 9 + (-7)
= 16, 9, 2

Question 12.
The ratio of 6^th and 8^th term of an A.P is 7:9. Find the ratio of 9^th term to 13^th term.
Answer:
Given : t₆ : t₈ = 7 : 9 (using t_n = a + (n – 1)d
a + 5d : a + 7d = 7 : 9
9 (a + 5 d) = 7 (a + 7d)
9a + 45 d = 7a + 49d
9a – 7a = 49d – 45d
2a = 4d
a = 2d
To find t₉ : t₁₃
t₉ : t₁₃ = a + 8d : a + 12d
= 2d + 8d : 2d + 12d
= 10d : 14d
= 5 : 7
∴ t₉ : t₁₃ = 5 : 7

Question 13.
In a winter season, the temperature of Ooty from Monday to Friday to be in A.P. The sum of temperatures from Monday to Wednesday is 0° C and the sum of the temperatures from Wednesday to Friday is 18° C. Find the temperature on each of the five days.
Answer:
Let the five days temperature be
(a – 2d), (a – d), a,(a + d) and (a + 2d)
Sum of first three days temperature = 0
a – 2d + a – d + a = 0
3a – 3d = 0
a – d = 0 …..(1)
Sum of the last three days temperature = 18°C
a + a + d + a + 2d = 18
3a + 3d = 18
(÷ by 3) ⇒ a + d = 6 ……(2)
By adding (1) and (2)

Substitute to value of a = 3 in (2)
d = 3
The temperature in 5 days are
(3 – 6), (3 – 3), 3, (3 + 3) and (3 + 6)
-3°C, 0°C, 3°C, 6°C, 9°C

Question 14.
Priya earned ₹15,000 in the first month. Thereafter her salary increases by ₹1500 per year. Her expenses are ₹13,000 during the first year and the expenses increases by ₹900 per year. How long will it take her to save ₹20,000 per month.
Answer:
Tabulate the given table

Monthly savings form an A.P.
2000, 2600, 3200 …..
a = 2000; d = 2600 – 2000 = 600
Given t_n = 20,000
t_n = a + (n – 1) d
20000 = 2000 + (n – 1) 600
20000 = 2000 + 600n – 600
= 1400 + 600n
20000 – 1400 = 600n
18600 = 600n
n = \(\frac { 18600 }{ 600 } \) = 31
He will take 31 years to save ₹ 20,000 per month

(iii) 3\(\sqrt{75}\) + 5\(\sqrt{48}\) – \(\sqrt{243}\) = \(3\sqrt{5^{2}×3} + 5\sqrt{2^{4}×3} – \sqrt{3^{5}}\)

= 3 × 5\(\sqrt{3}\) + 5 × 2²\(\sqrt{3}\) – 3²\(\sqrt{3}\) = 15\(\sqrt{3}\) + 20\(\sqrt{3}\) – 9\(\sqrt{3}\)
= (15 + 20 – 9)\(\sqrt{3}\)
= (35 – 9)\(\sqrt{3}\)
= 26 \(\sqrt{3}\)

(iv) 5\(\sqrt[3]{40}\) + 2\(\sqrt[3]{625}\) – 3\(\sqrt[3]{320}\)

= 5\(\sqrt[3]{2^{3}×5} + 2\sqrt[3]{5^{3}×5} – 3\sqrt[3]{2^{3}×2^{3}×5}\)
5 × 2\(\sqrt[3]{5} + 2 × 5\sqrt[3]{5} – 3 × 2 × 2\sqrt[3]{5} \)
= 10\(\sqrt[3]{5} + 10\sqrt[3]{5} – 12\sqrt[3]{5} \)
= 20\(\sqrt[3]{5} – 12\sqrt[3]{5}\)
= 8\(\sqrt[3]{5}\)

(i) \(\sqrt{40}\) – \(\sqrt{20}\) = \(\sqrt{4×10} – \sqrt{4×5} = 2\sqrt{10} – 2\sqrt{5}\)
= 2 × 3.162 – 2 × 2.236 = 6.324 – 4.472 = 1.852

(ii) \(\sqrt{300}\) + \(\sqrt{90}\) – \(\sqrt{8}\) = \(\sqrt{3×100} + \sqrt{9×10} – \sqrt{4×2}\)
= 10\(\sqrt{3}\) + 3\(\sqrt{10}\) – 2\(\sqrt{2}\)
= 10 × 1.732 + 3 × 3.162 – 2 × 1.414

II. Answer the following questions.

Question 1.
In the figure find x° and y°.
Solution:
∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B
(An exterior angle of a triangle is sum of its interior opposite angles)
120° = 50° + x°
x° = 120° – 50°
= 70°
In the triangle ABC

∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180° (Sum of the angles of a Δ)
50° + x + ∠ACB = 180°
50° + 70° + ∠ACB = 180°
∠ACB = 180° – 120°
y = 60°
(OR)
∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180° (Angles of a linear pair)
∠ACB = 180° – 120°
= 60°
The value of x = 70° and y = 60°.

Question 2.
The angles of quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.
Solution:
Let the angles of the quadrilateral be 3x, 5x, 9x and 13x.
Sum of all the angles of quadrilateral = 360°.
3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360°
30x = 360°
x = \(\frac{360°}{30}\)
= 12°
3x = 3 × 12 = 36°
5x = 5 × 12 = 60°
9x = 9 × 12 = 108°
13x = 13 × 12 = 156°
The required angles of quadrilateral are 36°, 60°, 108° and 156°.

Question 3.
Diagonal AC of a parallelogram ABCD bisects ∠A. Show that

(i) it bisects ∠C also
(ii) ABCD is a rhombus.
Solution:
We have a parallelogram ABCD in which diagonals AC bisect ∠A.
∠DAC = ∠BAC
(i) To prove that AC bisects ∠C
∴ ABCD is a parallelogram

∴ AB || DC and AC is a transversal
∴ ∠1 = ∠3 (Alternate interior angle) …….(1)
Also BC || AD and AC is a transversal
∴ ∠2 = ∠4 (Alternate interior angle) …….(2)
But AC bisects ∠A
∴ ∠1 = ∠2 ……… (3)
From (1), (2) and (3) we get
∠3 = ∠4
∴ AC bisects ∠C.

(ii) To prove that ABCD is a rhombus.
In ΔABC, we have ∠1 = ∠4 [∴ ∠ 1 = ∠2 = ∠4]
∴ BC = AB (side opposite to equal angles are equal) ……..(4)
Similarly AD = DC …….. (5)
But ABCD is a parallelogram AB = DC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram) ………(6)
From (4), (5) and (6) we have AB = BC = CD = DA.
Thus ABCD is a rhombus.

Question 4.
ABCD is a parallelogram and AP and CQ are perpendiculars from vertex A and C on diagonal BD.
Show that

(i) ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD
(ii) AP = CQ.
Solution:
(i) In ΔAPB and ΔCQD we have
∠APB = ∠CQD (90° each)
AB = CD (opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
∠ABP = ∠CDQ (AB || CD and AD is a transversal)
Using ASA congruency we have,
ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD

(ii) Since ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD
∴ Their corresponding parts are equal.
∴ AP = CQ.

Question 5.
ABCD is a rectangle and P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Show that the quadrilateral PQRS is a rhombus.

Solution:
In rectangle ABCD, P is the mid-point of AB.
Q is the mid-point of BC. R is the mid-point of CD.
S is the mid-point of DA. AC is the diagonal.
Now in ΔABC,
PQ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) AC and PQ || AC ……. (1)
Similarly in ΔACD,
SR = \(\frac{1}{2}\) AC and SR || AC ……. (2)
From (1) and (2) we get,
PQ = SR and PQ || SR
Similarly by joining BD, we have
PS = QR and PS || QR
i.e. Both pairs of opposite sides of quadrilateral PQRS are equal and parallel.
∴ PQRS is a parallelogram.

Question 6.
In the figure A, B and C are three points on a circle with centre O such that ∠BOC = 30° and ∠AOB = 60°. If D is a point on the circle other than the arc ABC, find ∠ADC.
Solution:

O is the centre of the circle. ∠AOB = 60° and ∠BOC = 30°
Sum of all the angles of quadrilateral = 360°.
∠AOB + ∠BOC = ∠AOC
∴ ∠AOC = 30° + 60°
= 90°
∠ADC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 90°
= 45°

Question 7.
In the given figure A, B, C and D are four points on a circle, AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°. Find ∠BAC.
Solution:
In ΔCDE,

Exterior ∠BEC = Sum of interior opposite angle
130° = ∠EDC + ∠ECD
130° = ∠EDC + 20°
130° – 20° = ∠EDC
110° = ∠EDC
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 110° (Both the triangles are standing on the same base)
∠BAC = 110°

Question 8.
In the given figure KLMN is a cyclic quadrilateral. KD is the tangent at K. If ∠N is a diameter ∠NLK = 40° and ∠LNM = 50°. Find ∠MLN and ∠DKL.

Solution:
LN is a diameter
∠LMN = ∠LKN = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∴ ∠MLN = 90° – 50°
= 40°
∠LNK = 90° – 40°
= 50°
∠DKL = ∠LKN = 50° (angles in the alternate segment)
∴ ∠DKL = 50°
∠MLN = 40° and ∠DKL = 50°

Question 9.
In the given figure ∠PQR = 100°, where P, Q and R are points on a circle with centre ‘O’. Find ∠OPR.

Solution:
∠PQR is the angle subtended by the chord PR in the minor segment.
reflex ∠POR = 2∠PQR
= 2 × 100°
= 200°
Now ∠POR + reflex ∠POR = 360°
∠POR + 200° = 360°
∠POR = 360° – 200°
= 160°
From the given diagram, POR is an isosceles triangle (∴ PO = OR = radii)
∴ ∠OPR = ∠ORP (angles opposite to equal sides)
In ΔOPR,
∠OPR + ∠ORP + ∠POR = 180°
∠OPR + ∠OPR + 160° = 180°
2∠OPR = 180° – 160°
2∠OPR = 20°
∠OPR = \(\frac{20°}{2}\)
= 10°
∴ ∠OPR = 10°

Question 10.
AB and CD are two parallel chords of a circle which are on either sides of the centre such that AB = 10 cm and CD = 24 cm. Find the radius if the distance between AB and CD is 17 cm.
Solution:

Given AB = 10 cm, CD = 24 cm and PQ = 17 cm.
PC = PD = \(\frac{24}{2}\)
= 12 cm
AQ = QB = \(\frac{10}{2}\)
= 5 cm
Let OP be x; OQ = (17 – x)
In the ΔOPC,
OC² = OP² + PC²
= x² + 12²
In the ΔOAQ,
OA² = AQ² + QO²
= 5² + (17 – x)²
= 25 + 289 + x² – 34x
= 314 + x² – 34x
But OA² = OC²
314 + x² – 34x = x² + 144
-34x = 144 – 314
-34x = -170
34x = 170
x = \(\frac{170}{34}\)
= \(\frac{10}{2}\)
= 5
We know,
OC² = x²+ 144
= 5² + 144
= 25 + 144
OC² = 169
But OC = \(\sqrt{169}\)
= 13
Radius of the circle = 13 cm
= x² + 144

Question 1.
Determine the quadratic equations, whose sum and product of roots are
(i) -9, 20
Answer:
Sum of the roots = -9 and Product of the roots = 20
The Quadratic equation is
x² – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
x² – (-9) x + 20 = 0 ⇒ x² + 9x + 20 = 0

(ii) \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 } \), 4
Answer:
Sum of the roots = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 } \); Product of the roots = 4
The Quadratic equation is
x² – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
x² – (\(\frac { 5 }{ 3 } \)) x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x² – \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 } \) x + 4 = 0
3x² – 5x + 12 = 0

(iii) \(\frac { -3 }{ 2 } \), -1
Answer:
Sum of the roots = \(\frac { -3 }{ 2 } \); Product of the roots = -1
The Quadratic equation is
x² – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
x² – (-\(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \)) x + (-1) = 0 ⇒ x² + \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \) x – 1 = 0
2x² + 3x – 2 = 0

(iv) – (2 – a)², (a + 5)²
Answer:
Sum of the roots = – (2 – a)²; Product of the roots = (a + 5)²
x² – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
x² – [-(2 – a)²] x + (a + 5)² = 0
x² + (2 – a)² x + (a + 5)² = 0

Question 2.
Find the sum and product of the roots for each of the following quadratic equations
(i) x² + 3x – 28 = 0
(ii) x² + 3x = 0
(iii) 3 + \(\frac{1}{a}=\frac{10}{a^{2}}\)
(iv) 3y² – y – 4 = 0
Solution:
(i) x² – (-3)x + (-28) = 0.
Comparing this with x² – (α + β)x + αβ = 0.
(α + β) = Sum of the roots = -3
αβ = product of the roots = -28

(ii) x² + 3x = 0 = x² – (-3)x + 0 = 0
x² – (α + β)x + αβ = 0
Sum of the roots α + β = -3
Products of the roots αβ =0

(iii) 3 + \(\frac { 1 }{ a } \) = \(\frac{10}{a^{2}}\)
Answer:
Multiply by a²
3a² + a = 10
3a² + a – 10 = 0
Sum of the roots (α + β) = \(\frac { -1 }{ 3 } \)
Product of the roots (α β) = \(\frac { -10 }{ 3 } \)

(iv) 3y² – y – 4 = 0
Answer:
Sum of the roots (α + β) = \(\frac { -(-1) }{ 3 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
Product of the roots (α β) = \(\frac { -4 }{ 3 } \)
