Solutions
(Section-A)

Solution 1.
Since: [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 7 } [/latex] × [latex s=2]\frac { 7 }{ 100 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 100 } [/latex] = 0.01
The smallest rational number is [latex s=2]\frac { 7 }{ 100 } [/latex] (1)

Solution 2.

Solution 3.

Solution 4.
Let x = [latex]\sqrt { 6+\sqrt { 6 } +\sqrt { 6+ } } [/latex] ….Then, x = [latex]\sqrt { 6+x } [/latex]
On squaring both the sides, we get
x² = 6+ x ⇒x²-x-6 = 0
⇒ (x-3)(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 3 or x = -2.
∵ x > 0
So, x = 3 (1)

Solution 5.
Since, a₂₁ – a₇ = 84 …(i)
Let the first term and common difference of
given A.P. be a and d respectively.
So, a₂₁ = a+ (21 – 1)d = a + 20d
Now, a₇= a + (7 – 1)d = a + 6d
From equation (i),
(a + 20d) – (a + 6d) = 84
⇒ (20-6)d= 84 ⇒ 14d= 84 ⇒d = 6
Hence, the common difference of given A.P. is 6. (1)

Solution 6.
Let ABC and DEFbe two triangles such that ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF

Let AL, DM be their medians respectively

Hence required corresponding median = 8.8 cm.

(Section-B)

Solution 7.
The largest possible amount of cheque will betheHCF (6075,8505).
Applying Euclid’s division lemma to 8505 and 6075, we have,
8505 = 6075 × 1 +2430 (1/2)
Since remainder 2430 ≠ 0 again applying division lemma to 6075 and 2430
6075 = 2430 × 2+1215 (1/2)
Again remainder 1215 ≠ 0
So, again applying the division lemma to 2430 and 1215
2430=1215 × 2 +0 (1/2)
Here the remainder is zero
So,H.C.F= 1215 (1/2)
Therefore, the largest possible amount of each cheque will be 1215.

Solution 8.
Series: 70 + 68 + 66 + +40
Here a = 70, d = 68 – 70 = -2, tn = 1 = 40.
Now, tn = a + (n-1)d =70 + (n-1)(-2) ⇒ 40 = 70 – 2n + 2 ⇒n= 16 (1)
∴ S_n =[latex s=2]\frac { n }{ 2 } [/latex][a + l] ⇒S_n = [latex s=2]\frac { 16 }{ 2 } [/latex][70 + 40] = 880 (1)

Solution 9.
S = {S, M, T, W, Th, F, Sa} (1/2)
n(S)=7
A non-leap year contains 365 days,
i.e., 52 weeks + 1 day.
E={Sa}
n(E)=1 (1/2)
∴ P(E) = [latex s=2]\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 7 } [/latex] (1)

Solution 10.
Let there be x blue, y green and z white marbles in the jar.
Then, x+y+ z=54 …(i) (1/2)
∴ P(selecting a blue marble) = [latex s=2]\frac { x }{ 54 } [/latex] ⇒[latex s=2]\frac { x }{ 54 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 3 } [/latex] ⇒ x = 18 (1/2)
Similarly, /’(selecting a green marble) = [latex s=2]\frac { y }{ 54 } [/latex] ⇒ [latex s=2]\frac { y }{ 54 } [/latex]= [latex s=2]\frac { 4 }{ 9 } [/latex] ⇒y = 24 (1/2)
Substituting thevaluesofxandyin(i),z= 12
Hence, the jar contains 12 white marbles. (1/2)

Solution 11.
Given lines,
3x + 2ky- 2 = 0
and 2x+ 5y-1 =0
Here, a₁ =3,b₁ =2k, c₁ =-2
a₂ = 2, b₂ = 5, c₂ =-1 (1)
Condition for parallel lines is [latex s=2]\frac { 3 }{ 2 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 2k }{ 5 } [/latex] ⇒k = [latex s=2]\frac { 15 }{ 4 } [/latex] (1)

Solution 12.
Since points are collinear,
so, x₁(y₂ – y₃) + x₂(y₃ – y₁) + x₃(y₁ – y₂) = 0 (1/2)
Taking (7, -2) as (x₁, y₁), (5,1) as (x₂, y₂) and (3, k) as (x₃, y₃), we have
7(1 – k) + 5(k + 2) + 3 (-2 -1) = 0 (1/2)
or, 7 – 7k + 5k + 10 – 9 = 0 ⇒ 2k = 8 ⇒k = 4. (1)

(Section-C)

Solution 13.
a² – b² = (a-b)(a +b) ….(1)
∵ a² -b² is a prime number (1)
∴One of the two factors = 1
So, a — b= 1 [∵a – b< a+b]
∵ The only divisors of a prime number are 1 and it self. (1)
(1) become a² -b²= 1 (a + b)
or a² – b² = a + b
e.g., 3² – 2² = 5 (which is prime)
⇒ 3² – 2² = 3 +2 (1)

Solution 14.

Solution 15.

OR

Solution 16.

Solution 17.

Solution 18.
Let there be a circle with centre O whereas AB, BC, CD and DA are tangents at P, Q, R and S respectively.

Here,
AP = AS …(i)
BP = BQ …(ii)
CR=CQ …(iii)
DR=DS …(iv)
[Tangents drawn from a point (outside the circle) on a given circle are equal in lengths]
From equations (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (1)
(AP +BP) + (CR + DR) = (BQ + CQ) + (DS + AS)
AB + CD = BC + DA (Hence proved.) (1)

Solution 19.

Solution 20.


OR

Solution 21.

OR

Solution 22.

OR

Since the coordinates of the mid-points of diagonals AC and BD are same.
∴ They bisect each other.
Hence, ABCD is a parallelogram. (1)

(Section-D)

Solution 23.

Solution 24.

Solution 25.

Steps of construction:
(i) Draw a line AB of length 8 cm.
(ii) With centre A and radius 4 cm, draw a circle, which intersect AB at point P.
(iii) With centre B and radius 3 cm, draw the second circle.
