Chapter 1: Number System

  1. Find five rational numbers between 1 and 2.

Ans:

We have to find five rational numbers between 1 and 2.

So, let us write the numbers with denominator 5 + 1 = 6 

Thus, 6/6 = 1, 12/6 = 2

From this, we can write the five rational numbers between 6/6 and 12/6 as:

7/6, 8/6, 9/6, 10/6, 11/6

Chapter 2: Polynomial

  1. Give an example of a monomial and a binomial having degrees as 82 and 99, respectively.

Ans:

An example of a monomial having a degree of 82 = x⁸⁹

An example of a binomial having a degree of 99 = x⁹⁹ + x

Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry

Q1. Write the signs convention of the coordinates of a point in the second quadrant.

Ans: (-ve, +ve)

Q2. Write the value of the ordinate of all the points lying on the x-axis.

Ans: 0

Chapter 4: Linear Equations in Two Variables

  1. Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case:

 (i) x – y/5 – 10 = 0

 (ii) -2x+3y = 6

 (iii) y – 2 = 0

Ans:

 (i) The equation x-y/5-10 = 0 can be written as:

 (1)x + (-1/5) y + (-10) = 0

Now compare the above equation with ax + by + c = 0

Thus, we get;

a = 1

b = -⅕

c = -10

(ii) Rearranging the given equation, we get,

–2x + 3y – 6 = 0

The equation –2x + 3y – 6 = 0 can be written as,

(–2)x + 3y +(– 6) = 0

Now comparing (–2)x + 3y +(– 6) = 0 with ax + by + c = 0

We get, a = –2

b = 3

c = -6

(iii) y – 2 = 0

The equation y – 2 = 0 can be written as,

0x + 1y + (–2) = 0

Now comparing 0x + 1y + (–2) = 0with ax + by + c = 0

We get, a = 0

b = 1

c = –2

Chapter 5: Introduction to Euclid’s Geometry

  1. Define parallel lines. 

Ans. Two coplanar lines in a plane that are not intersecting are called parallel lines.

Chapter 6: Lines and Angles

  1. Find the degree measure of an angle that is half of its complementary angle.

Ans:

Let the required angle be x

∴ Its complement = 90° – x

Now, according to given statement, we obtain

x = 

1

2

(90° – x)

⇒ 2x = 90° – x

⇒ 3x = 90°

⇒ x = 30°

Hence, the required angle is 30°.

Chapter 7: Triangles

  1. Find the measure of each exterior angle of an equilateral triangle.

Ans. Each interior angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°.

So, each exterior angle = 180° – 60° = 120°

Chapter 8: Quadrilaterals

  1. What is a quadrilateral? Mention 6 types of quadrilaterals.

Ans:

A quadrilateral is a 4 sided polygon having a closed shape. It is a 2-dimensional shape.

The 6 types of quadrilaterals include:

  • Rectangle
  • Square
  • Parallelogram
  • Rhombus
  • Trapezium
  • Kite

Chapter 9: Areas of Parallelograms

  1. If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the line joining the point of intersection to the centre makes equal angles with the chords.

Ans:

From the question we have the following conditions:

 (i) AB and CD are 2 chords which are intersecting at point E.

(ii) PQ is the diameter of the circle.

(iii) AB = CD.

Now, we will have to prove that ∠BEQ = ∠CEQ

Chapter 10: Circles

  1. In the given figure, ∠ACP = 40° and BPD = 120°, then find ∠CBD.

Ans:

∠BDP = ∠ACP = 40° [angle in same segment]

Now, in ∆BPD, we have

∠PBD + ∠BPD + ∠BDP = 180°

⇒ ∠PBD + 120° + 40° = 180°

⇒ ∠PBD = 180° – 160o = 20°

or ∠CBD = 20°

Chapter 11: Constructions

  1. Construct an equilateral triangle, given its side as 4cm and justify the construction.

Solution:

Ans: Construction Procedure:

Let’s draw a line segment AB=4 cm.

With A and B as centres, draw two arcs on the line segment AB and note the point as D and E.

With D and E as centres, draw the arcs that intersect the previous arc and form an angle of 60° each.

Now, draw the lines from A and B that are extended to meet each other at point C.

Therefore, ABC is the required triangle.

Chapter 12: Heron’s Formula

  1. The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12: 17: 25 and its perimeter is 540cm. Find its area.

Ans:

The ratio of the sides of the triangle is given as 12: 17: 25

Now, let the common ratio between the sides of the triangle be “x”

∴ The sides are 12x, 17x and 25x

It is also given that the perimeter of the triangle = 540 cm

12x + 17x + 25x = 540 cm

=> 54x = 540cm

So, x = 10

Now, the sides of the triangle are 120 cm, 170 cm, 250 cm.

So, the semi perimeter of the triangle (s) = 540/2 = 270 cm

Using Heron’s formula,

Area of the triangle

=√[s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)]

= √[270(270 – 120) (270 – 120) (270 – 250)] cm²

= √[270 × 150 × 100 × 20] cm²

= 9000 cm²

Chapter 13: Surface Areas and Volumes

  1. The paint in a certain container is sufficient to paint an area equal to 9.375 sq.m. How many bricks of dimensions 22.5 cm × 10 cm × 7.5 cm can be painted out of this container?

Ans:

Given,

Dimensions of the brick = 22.5 cm × 10 cm × 7.5 cm

Here, l = 22.5 cm, b = 10 cm, h = 7.5 cm

Surface area of 1 brick  = 2(lb + bh + hl) 

= 2(22.5 × 10 + 10 × 7.5 + 7.5 × 22.5) cm²

= 2(225 + 75 + 168.75) cm² 

= 2 x 468.75 cm²

= 937.5 cm²

Area that can be painted by the container = 9.375 m² (given)

= 9.375 × 10000 cm²

= 93750 cm²

Thus, the required number of bricks = (Area that can be painted by the container)/(Surface area of 1 brick)

= 93750/937.5

= 937500/9375

= 100

Chapter 14: Statistics

  1. The number of family members in 10 flats of society are

2, 4, 3, 3, 1,0,2,4,1,5.

Find the mean number of family members per flat.

Ans:

Number of family members in 10 flats -2, 4, 3, 3, 1, 0, 2, 4, 1, 5.

So, we get,

Mean = sum of observation/ total no of observations

Mean = (2 + 4+ 3 + 3 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 5) / 10

Mean = 25/10 = 2.5

Chapter 15: Probability

  1. Compute the probability of the occurrence of an event if the probability of the event not occurring is 0.56.

Ans:

Given,

P(not E) = 0.56

We know that,

P(E) + P(not E) = 1

So, P(E) = 1 – P(not E)

P(E) = 1 – 0.56

Or, P(E) = 0.44
