Q.4. The graph of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 cuts the y-axis at the point
(a) (2, 0)
(b) (0, 3)
(c) (3, 0)
(d) (0, 2)
Ans. (d) Since the graph of linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 cuts the y -axis. So we put x = 0 in given equation, we get
2x + 3y = 6
2(0) + 3y = 6
0 + 3y = 6
y = 2
Hence, at the point (0, 2) the given linear equation cuts the y-axis.

∴ In the expansion of  term is given by 

⇒

Suppose T_{r + 1} is independent of x.
∴ 20 - 5r = 0 ⇒ 5r = 20 ⇒ r = 4
∴ (r + 1)th = (4 + 1)th i.e., 5th term is the required term independent of x.
OR
Total number of letters in the word EXAMINATION are 11.
Starting with A we have to find the number of arrangements of the remaining 10 letters, E, X, M, I, N, A, T, I, O, N, out of which there are 2I’s, 2N’s and the rest are all different.
The number of such arrangements


Clearly, we will have to start the next word with E (as in the dictionary)
So, the required numbers of words in the list before the first word starting with E are 907200.

Q.23. ABCD is a parallelogram and X is the mid-point of AB. If ar (ΔADC) = 24 cm², then find ar (AXCD).
Ans. Given, ABCD is a parallelogram and X is the mid-point of AS. Draw the diagonal AC.

We know that diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
So. ar (parallelogram AECD) = 2 x ar (ΔADC)
= 2 x 24 = 48 cm²   
Since, CX is the median of ΔABC.
We know that a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas.


Now, ar(AXCD) = ar(parallelogram ABCD) - ar (ΔBCX)
= 48 - 12 = 36 cm²

Q.24. If (3x -15°) and (x + 5°) are complementary angles, find the angles.
Ans. (3x -15°) + (x + 5°) = 90°

Angles are 60° and 30°.

Q.25. The mean of first 8 observations is 18 and last 8 observations is 20. If the mean of all 15 observations is 19, find the 8th observation.
OR
Ten observations 6, 14, 15, 17, x + 1, 2x - 13, 30, 32, 34, 43 are written in an ascending order. The median of the data is 24. Find the value of x.
Ans. Sum of first 8 observations = 8 x 18 = 144
Sum of last 8 observations = 8 x 20 = 160
Sum of 15 observations = 15 x 19 = 285
Thus, 8th observation ~ 144 + 160 = 285 = 304 - 285 = 19
Hence, 8th observation is 19.
OR
Given data is in ascending order and n = 10 (even number)
∴ Median = Average of
= Average of 5^th and 6^th term =
Also, median = 24
∴
⇒ 3x - 12 = 48
⇒ 3x = 60
⇒ x = 20

OR
Show that the points (4,7,8), (2,3,4), (-1, - 2,1) and (1,2,5), taken in order form a parallelogram.
Ans. Let the equation of the line AB which cuts the x-axis at A and y-axis at B be
 ...(i)
If the line (1) cuts the x-axis, then by putting y = 0 in (1), we have x = h
∴  The coordinates of the point A are (h, 0).
Similarly, the line (1) cuts the y-axis, then by putting x = 0 in (1), we have y = k
∴ The coordinates of the point B are (0, k).
If P(a, b) is the mid-point of AB, then
 

⇒ h = 2a and k = 2b
Substituting the values of h and k in (1), we get the required equation of the line AB is

i.e., ar(ΔABD) = ar(ΔCDB)
and ar(ΔABC) = ar(ΔACD)
To Prove: ABCD is a parallelogram
Proof: Diagonal AC divides the quad. ABCD into two triangles of equal area
∴ ar(ΔABC) = ar(ΔACD) ...(i)
Also, ar(ΔABC) + ar(ΔACD) = ar(quad. ABCD)
⇒ ar(ΔABC) + ar(ΔABC) = ar(quad. ABCD)    [using (i)]
⇒  ...(ii)
Again, diagonal BD of the quad. ABCD divides it into two triangles of equal area
∴ ar(ΔABD) = ar(ΔBCD)   (iii)
Also, ar(ΔABD) + ar(ΔBCD) = ar(quad. ABCD)
⇒ ar(ΔABD) + ar(ΔABD) = ar(quad. ABCD)   [using (iii)]
⇒  ...(iv)
From (ii) and (iv), we obtain
ar(ΔABC) = ar(ΔABD)

OR
Given : In quad. PQRS, diagonals PR and QS intersect at T.
To prove: ar(ΔPTS) = ar(ΔRTQ)
Construction: From P and R, draw perpendiculars PE ⊥ SQ and RF ⊥ SQ.

Proof: In ΔPET and ΔRTF,
TP = TR   [given]
∠PTE = ∠RTF    [vert. opp. angles]
∠PET = ∠RFT = 90⁰ [construction]
ΔPET ≅ ΔRFT    [AAS congruency]
⇒ ar(ΔPET) = ar(ΔRFT)...(i) [congruent figures have equal area]
and PE = RF   [c.p.c.t.]
Now, in ΔPSE and ΔRQF,
∠PES = ∠RFQ     [right angle]
PE = RF  [proved above]
PS = QR [given]
So, ΔPSE ≌ ΔRQF    [RHS congruency]
⇒ ar(ΔAPSE) = ar(ΔRQF)   ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we have
ar(ΔPET) + ar(ΔPSE) = ar(ΔRFT) + ar(ΔRQF)
⇒ ar(ΔPTS) = ar(ΔRTQ)
