Q:

If the roots of quadratic equation 3x2 – 2x – k = 0, are real and equal, then value of k is _____.

A:
The given quadratic equation is: 3x 2 −2x−k=0 Since the roots of the given equation are real and equal. Therefore, D=0⇒ b 2 −4ac=0 ⇒ ( −2 ) 2 −4( 3 )( −k )=0 ⇒       4+12k=0 ⇒                    k=− 4 12 ⇒                    k=− 1 3 ∴ If the roots of quadratic equation 3x 2 −2x−k=0,are real and equal, then value of k is − 1 3 ¯ .

Q:

If the first term of an AP is ‘x’ and the common difference is ‘y’, then the nth term of the series is _________.

A:

If the first term and common difference of an AP be ‘a’ and ‘d’ respectively, then nth term of AP is:
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
Here, a = x and d = y
Then, for the given series, the nth term is:
Tn = x + (n – 1)y
Therefore, if the first term of an AP is ‘x’ and the common difference is ‘y’,

then the nth term of the series is x + (n – 1)y.

A:
Elementary events associated to the random experiment of throwing two dice.

(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)

(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)

(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)

(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)

(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)

(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)

Total events = 6 x 6 = 36

Favourable event is when the sum is 8.

(2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2)

Favourable events = 5

Hence, probability of getting 8 as a sum = 5/36

Q:

A bag contains 48 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing a blue ball is half that of a red ball, determine the number of blue balls in the bag.

A:

Let number of blue balls in the bag=x

Number of red balls in the bag=48

Total balls in the bag=(x+48)

P(red ball)=48/( x+48)

P(blue ball)=x/( x+48)

According to given condition,

P(blue ball)=1/2 {P(red ball)}

x/( x+48)=1/2{48/( x+48)}

x=24.

Thus, the number of blue balls in the bag is 24.

So quotient = x - 2, remainder = 3

Divisor Quotient + Remainder

= (-x2 + x - 1) (x - 2) + 3

= -x3 + 3x2 - 3x + 5 = Dividend

ABC is a right triangle right-angled at C. Let BC = a, CA = b, AB = c and let P be the length of perpendicular form C on AB prove that

(i) cp = ab
(ii)

A:

(i) Let CD AB. Then, CD = p

Area of ABC = (AB CD)/2 = cp/2 ...(1)

Also,
Area of ABC = (BC AC)/2 = ab/2 ...(ii)


From (i) and (ii) we have,
cp = ab.

(ii) Since ABC is a right triangle right–angled at C

Q:

If 7 cosecA-3cotA = 7, prove that 7cotA - 3cosecA = 3.

A:
7cosecA-3cotA=7
 7cosecA-7=3cotA
 7(cosecA-1)=3cotA
Multiplying by (cosecA+1) both sides, we get-
7(cosecA-1) (cosecA+1)=3cotA (cosecA+1)
7(cosec2A-1)=3CotA (cosecA+1)
7cot2A=3 cotA (cosecA+1)
7cotA= 3(cosecA+1)
7cotA-3 cosecA=3

A Point O in the interior of a rectangle ABCD is joined with each of the vertices A, B, C and D prove that OB2 + OD2 = OC2 + OA2.

A:

Let ABCD be the given rectangle and let O be a point within it. Join OA, OB, OC and OD.

Through O, draw EOF || AB. Then, ABFE is a rectangle

In right triangles OEA and OFC, we have


Now, in right triangles OFB and ODE, we have

Q:

A toy is in the form of a cone surmounted on a hemisphere. The diameter of the base of the cone is 6 cm and its height is 4 cm. Find the cost of painting the toy at the rate of Rs. 5 per 1000 sq cm.

Q:

A hollow cone is cut by a plane parallel to the base and the upper portion is removed. If the curved surface of the remainder is 8/9 of the curved surface of the whole cone, find the ratio of the line segments into which the altitude of the cone is divided by the plane.

A:


Let VAB be a hollow cone of height H, slant height L and the base radius R.

Suppose this cone is cut by a plane parallel to the base such that O' is the centre of the circular section of the cone.

Let h be the height, l be the slant height and r be the base radius of the smaller cone VA'B'.

In VO’A’ and VOA

A = A’

O = O’

Therefore by AA postulate

VO’A’ VOA

Q:

Determine the height of a mountain if the elevation of its top at an unknown distance from the base is 30° and at a distance 10 km further off the mountain, along the same line, the angle of elevation is 15°. [Use tan15°=0.27]

A:


Let AB be a mountain of height h metres and angle of elevation of its top is 30° from a point at x km away from mountain and that of 15° from (x+10)km away from the base of the mountain.

InAOQ,

tan30°=h/x(1/3)=h/x

x=3h … (1)

In AOP,

tan15°=h/(x+10)

0.27= h/(x+10)

h=0.27(x+10)

h=0.27(3h+10)

=0.273h+2.7

h - 0.273h=2.7

h(1-0.271.732)=2.7

h(0.54)=2.7

h=2.7/0.54

h=270/54

=5 km.

Thus, height of the mountain is 5 km.

Q:

The angle of elevation of a jet plane from a point A on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 15 seconds, the angle of elevation changes to 30°. If the jet plane is flying at a constant height of 15003 m, find the speed of the jet plane.

A:

Let P and Q be the two positions of the plane and let A be the point of observation. Let ABC be the horizontal line through A. It is given that angles of elevation of the plane in two positions P and Q from a point A are 60° and 30° respectively.

Then, PAB=60°, QAB=30°

Here PB=15003 metres

In ABP, we have

tan60°=BP/AB 3=15003/AB

AB=1500 m

In ACQ, we have

tan30°=CQ/AC(1/3)= 15003/AC

AC=4500 m

So, PQ=BC=AC - AB

=4500 - 1500

=3000m

Thus, the plane travels 3000 m in 15 seconds.

Hence, the speed of plane=3000/15=200 m/sec.

Q:

A triangle ABC is drawn to circumscribe a circle of radius 4 cm such that the segments BD and DC into which BC is divided by the point of contact D are of lengths 8 cm an 6 cm respectively. Find the sides AB and AC.
