Solutions
Section-A

Solution 1.
3 × 5 ×7+7 = 7 (3 × 5 + 1) = 7 (16), which has more than two factors.
∴ It is a composite number. (1)

Solution 2.
sinA= [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } [/latex] ⇒ A=45°

and tan B = 1 ⇒ B = 45° (1/2)
∴ sin (A + B) = sin (45° + 45°) ⇒ sin 90° = 1 Hence Proved. (1/2)

Solution 3.
In ∆ABC, we have DE || BC
∴ [latex s=2]\frac { AD }{ DB } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { AE }{ EC } [/latex] By Thale’s Theorem] (1/2)

⇒ [latex s=2]\frac { x }{ x-2 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { x+2 }{ x-1 } [/latex]
⇒x(x-1) = (x-2)(x +2) ⇒ x² – x = x² – 4 ⇒x = 4 (1/2)

Solution 4.
Distance = [latex]\sqrt { { (0-3) }^{ 2 }+{ (0+2) }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 9+4 } =\sqrt { 13 } [/latex] (1)

Solution 5.
Common difference of the AP = d = 9 – 5 = 4
Last term of the AP = l= 185 (1/2)
Since the n^th term from the end of an AP is given by l – (n – 1 )d.
So, the 9^th term from the end is = 185 – (9 – 1)4 = 185 – 32= 153 (1/2)

Solution 6.
D = b² – 4ac = (10)² – 4(3[latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex] )([latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex]) = 100 – 36 = 64 (1)

Section-B

Solution 7.
If 5 – [latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex] is not irrational.
Let 5 – [latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { p }{ q } [/latex] [p and q are integers, q ≠ 0] (1/2)
⇒[latex s=2]\frac { 5q-p }{ q } [/latex] = [latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex] ⇒ [latex s=2]\frac { 5q-p }{ 3 } [/latex] is rational number  (1)
So, [latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex] should be rational.
But [latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex] is irrational, it cannot be equal to rational number, Hence 5 -[latex]\sqrt { 3 } [/latex] is irrational. (1/2)

Solution 8.
Total no. of cards = 60-12 = 48
Numbers are 13,14,15,16,……….,60.
(i) Numbers divisible by 5 are 15, 20,25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60. (1/2)
∴ Favourable outcomes = 10
∴ P(no. is divisible by 5) = [latex s=2]\frac { 10 }{ 48 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 5 }{ 24 } [/latex] (1/2)
(ii) Perfect square numbers are 16,25,36,49 (1/2)
∴ Ptperfect square) = [latex s=2]\frac { 4 }{ 48 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 12 } [/latex] (1/2)

Solution 9.

Solution 10.

Solution 11.

Solution 12.
Number of 50 p coins = 100
Number of ₹ 1 coins = 50
Number of ₹ 2 coins = 20
Number of ₹ 5 coins = 10
Total number of coins = 180 (1/2)
Then (i) P (50 p coin) = [latex s=2]\frac { 100 }{ 180 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 5 }{ 9 } [/latex]
(ii) P (not a ₹ 5 coin) = 1 – P (a ₹ 5 coin) (1/2)
= 1- [latex s=2]\frac { 10 }{ 180 } [/latex] = 1- [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 18 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 17 }{ 18 } [/latex] (1)

Section-C

Solution 13.
Let a be any positive integer and b = 6
Then by Euclid’s algorithm, a = bq + r, o < r < b (1/2)
Wehavea = 6q+r   …(1)
Since 0 ≤ r < 6, So, r = 0,1,2,3,4,5
∴ From(1), forr = 0, a = 6q
forr = 1, a = 6q + 1
forr = 2, a = 6q + 2
forr = 3, a = 6q + 3
forr = 4, a = 6q + 4
forr = 5, a = 6q + 5   (1/2)
Since 6q is divisible by 2,
∴ 6q is even. (1)
6q + 1 is not divisible by 2. So, 6q + 1 l is odd.
6q + 2 is divisible by 2
∴ 6q + 2 is even. (1)
6q + 3 is not divisible by 2. So, 6q + 3 is odd.
6q + 4 is divisible by 2.
∴ 6q + 4 is even.
6q + 5 is not divisible by 2. So, 6q + 5 is odd. (1/2)
So, we see that 6q, 6q + 2, 6q + 4 are even. Since the number which are not divisible by 2 are odd integer.
∴ 6q +1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 are odd integer. Hence any positive odd integer is ofthe form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5, where q is some integer. (1/2)

Solution 14.
Let (ax + b) be subtracted from given polynomial p(x), so that it is exactly divisible by x² + x – 12 Then, .
q (x) = x³-6x² – 15x + 80 – (ax + b)
= x³ -6x² – (15 + a)x + (80 -b) (1/2)
∵ Dividend = Divisor × quotient + remainder (A)
But remainder will be zero.
∴ Dividend = Divisor x quotient
q (x) = (x² + x – 12) x quotient
∴q(x) = x³-6x²-(15+a)x + (80 – b) (1/2)
Also, x(x² +x- 12)-7(x² +x- 12)
= x³ + x² – 7x² – 12x – 7x + 84
= x³ – 6x² – 19x + 84 (1)
Hence, x³ – 6x² – 19x + 84 = x³ – 6x² – (15 + a)x + (80 – b)
– 15 – a = – 19 ⇒ a = + 4 and 80 – b = 84 ⇒ b = – 4 (1)
Hence, ifinp (x) we subtracted 4x – 4 = (ax + b), then it is exactly divisible by x² + x – 12

Solution 15.
m = a cos θ + b sin θ
(m)²= (a cos θ + b sin θ)²
m² = a² cos² θ + bs² sin²θ + 2ab cos θ sin θ …(i) (1)
also, n = a sin θ – b cos θ ;
(n)² = (a sin θ – b cos θ)²
n² = a²sin² θ + b² cos² θ – 2ab cos θ sin θ …(ii) (1)
On adding equation (i) and (ii), we get
m² + n² = a² cos² θ + b² sin2 θ + a² sin² θ + b² cos² θ
= ²(cos² θ + sin² θ) + b²(sin²θ + cos² θ) (1)
m² + n² = a² + b²
Hence proved.
OR
x = r sin A cos C, y = r sin A sin C and z = r cos A
x²+ y²+ z² = r²sin²A cos²C + =(r² sin²A ) (cos²C + sin²C) +r² cos²A  (1)
= r² sin² A(1) + r² cos² A  (1/2)
= r²(sin² A + cos² A) =r² Hence Proved. (1/2)

Solution 16.
Draw square PQRS as shown in the figure given below.
Here PQ= QR = PS= RS = 14 cm (1)
Area of the shaded portion = Area of the square PQRS – Area of four equal quadrants (1)
= 14 × 14 – 4 × [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 4 } [/latex]π × (7)² =196 – [latex s=2]\frac { 22 }{ 7 } [/latex] 7 ×7
= 196-154 =42 cm²

Solution 17.

Solution 18.
V of cylindrical part = π(8)² (240) = 64π × 240 (1/2)
V of conical part = [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 3 } [/latex]π × 64 × 36 =64π(12) (1/2)

Total volume of iron = 64π(240 + 12) = 64×[latex s=2]\frac { 22 }{ 7 } [/latex] ×252 = 64 × 22× 36 cm³ (1)
∴ Total weight ofpillar = (64) (22) (36) × 7.8 = 395366.4 gms = 395.3664 kg (1)
OR

Solution 19.

Solution 20.


OR

Solution 21.
∵ Area of the triangle = 24 sq. units (1)
∴[latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 2 } [/latex][1(2k + 5)-4(-5 + 1)-k(-1-2k)] = 24
So, 2k² + 3k- 27 = 0 ⇒ (2k + 9) (k – 3) = 0
After solving we get k = 3, -[latex s=2]\frac { 9 }{ 2 } [/latex] (1)
OR
The point P (x, y) is equidistant form the points A (a + b, b – a) and B (a – b, a + b)
∴ PA= PB
⇒ [latex]\sqrt { { (a+b-x) }^{ 2 }+{ (b-a-y) }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { { (a-b-x) }^{ 2 }+{ (a+b-y) }^{ 2 } } [/latex] (1/2)
⇒ (a + b – x)² + (b – a – y)² = (a – b – x)² + (a + b – y)² (1/2)
⇒ (a + b – x)² – (a – b – x)² = (a + b – y)² – (b – a – y)² (1/2)
⇒ (a + b-x + a-b-x) (a + b-x-a + b + x) = (a + b-y + b-a-y) (a + b-y-b+ a + y) (1/2)
⇒ (2a-2x)(2b) = (2b-2y)(2a)
⇒ (a – x) b = (b – y) a
⇒ ab – bx = ab – ay ⇒ bx = ay (1)
