No.
22 For similarity of two triangles. 1
For equation ½
Height of Telephone pole = 10 m ½

OR
B. Observe the given Figure and then find  P. (Show the steps)

Since all the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal:

AB/RQ=BC/QP=AC/PR=12
By the SSS (Side-Side-Side) similarity criterion, triangle ABC is similar
to triangle RQP.
From the similarity of triangles, we know that corresponding angles are
equal. Therefore:
∠C=∠P
Calculate angle C
1
Using the angle sum property in triangle ABC:
∠C=180°−80°−60°=40°
Conclude the value of angle P
Since ∠C=∠P, we have:
∠P=40°

24 In ΔABC, we obtain, 1
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
= 576 + 49
= 625
sin A = 7/25, cos A = 24/25 1
OR
PQ2 + QR2 = PR2
So, we have, 1
QR = √(PR2 - QR2)
= √(132 - 122)
= √25 = 5 cm
So, tan P - cot R = 5/12 - 5/12 = 0 1

SECTION: C
26 Explanation
Assume it's rational
If √3 is rational, then it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, p/q, 1
where q ≠ 0.
Find a contradiction
You can show that 3 is a factor of both p and q, which contradicts the 1
assumption that p and q are coprime.
Conclusion 1
This proves that √3 is irrational.
27  x2 - 3 can be written as (x + √3) (x - √3)
The value of the polynomial will be zero when x = - √3 and x = √3. 1
Thus x = - √3 and x = √3 are the zeroes of the polynomial.
The sum of the zeroes = - √3 + √3 = 0 = 0/ 1 = - b/ a 1
The product of the zeroes = - √3 × √3 = - 3 = - 3/ 1 = c/ a 1
OR
f(x) = x2 -(α +β) x +αβ
Here, sum of the roots, α +β = √2
Product of the roots, αβ = -3/2 1
So, the quadratic polynomial can be written as x² - √2x - 3/2.
The polynomial can be rewritten as (1/2)[2x² - 2√2x - 3].
Let 2x² - 2√2x - 3 = 0 ½
On factoring the polynomial,
2x² + √2x - 3√2x - 3 = 0 ½
√2x(√2x + 1) - 3(√2x + 1) = 0
(√2x - 3)(√2x + 1) = 0
Now, x = 3/√2, -1/√2 1

28  Money which Meena withdraws from the bank = Rs. 2000.
Meena has total number of notes = 25
Suppose there are x and y notes of 50 and 100 rupees,
(x+y)=25 ……. (i) ½
&
50x+100y=2000
x+2y=40 ……. (ii)
Substitute of eq. (ii) – eq. (i), ½
x+2y-x-y=40-25
2y-y=15
y=15
Put the value of y in eq. (i), 1
x+y=25
x+15=25
x=25-15
x=10
Thus, the Meena received by x = 10 notes of Rs. 50 and y = 15
notes of Rs. 100. 1

A quadrilateral ABCD is drawn to circumscribe a
circle (see figure).
Prove that AB + CD = AD + BC
 DR = DS [ As we know that the lengths of the tangents drawn
from an external point to the circle are equal.] (i) 1
BP = BQ (ii)
AP = AS (iii)
CR = CQ (iv)
Now let us add both the LHS and RHS of the above equations 1
separately and observing the result.
DR + BP + AP + CR = DS + BQ + AS + CQ
(DR + CR) + (BP + AP) = (CQ + BQ) + (DS + AS) 1
CD + AB = BC + AD
Hence it is proved AB + CD = AD + BC.

be formed and shaded and hence, the vertices can be located.

⇒y=x+1 1
y=x+1 0 3

3x + 2y -12 = 0 x 4 2
⇒ 2y = 12 - 3x

In ∆ABC, DE || BC and AB and AC
are intersected by DE at points D and E
respectively. 1

To prove:
AD / DB = AE / EC
Construction: Join BE and CD.
Draw:EG⊥AB and DF⊥AC
Proof:
It is known that
ar(ΔADE) = 1 / 2 × AD × EG 1
ar(ΔDBE) = 1 / 2 × DB × EG
Therefore, the ratio of these two can be computed as
ar(ΔADE) / ar(ΔDBE) = AD / DB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)
Similarly,
ar(ΔADE) = ar(ΔADE) = 1 / 2 × AE × DF 1
ar(ΔECD) = 1 / 2 × EC × DF
Therefore, the ratio of these two can be computed as
ar(ΔADE) / ar(ΔECD) = AE / EC . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . (2)
Now, ½
ΔDBE and ΔECD are the same base DE and also between the same
parallels i.e. DE and BC, we can get ½
ar(ΔDBE) = ar(ΔECD) . . . . . . . . . . . (3)
From three equations 1, 2, 3 it can be concluded that
AD / DB = AE / EC
OR

In ΔABC and ΔPQR

AB/PQ = BC/QR = AD/PM [given] 1
AD and PM are median of ΔABC and ΔPQR respectively ½

 ⇒ BD/QM = (BC/2)/(QR/2) = BC/QR
Now, in ΔABD and ΔPQM 1
AB/PQ = BD/QM = AD/PM 1
⇒ ΔABD ∼ ΔPQM [SSS criterion] ½
Now, in ΔABC and ΔPQR
AB/PQ = BC/QR [given in the statement]
∠ABC = ∠PQR [∵ ΔABD ∼ ΔPQM]
⇒ ΔABC ∼ ΔPQR [SAS criteion]
