Solutions
Section-A

Solution 1.
If 6ⁿ ends with 5, then it must have 5 as a factor. Prime factor of 6ⁿ are 2 and 3.
∴ 6ⁿ = (2 × 3)n = 2ⁿ × 3ⁿ
The fundamental theorem of arithmetic, the prime factorization of every composite numbers is unique.
∴ 6ⁿ can never end with 5. (1)

Solution 2.

Solution 3.
The given A.P. is 6, 13, 20, ………..,216
Here, d = 7, a = 6
a_n = a + (n-1)d
∴216 = 6 + (n- 1) × 7 ⇒n = 31

∴a₁₆= 6+ 15 × 7 = 111 (1)

Solution 4.
(x-3)(2x+l)-x(x + 5)
2x² – 5x – 3 = x² + 5x
x² – 10x – 3 = 0 (1)

Solution 5.
Let th e third vertex of the triangle PQR be given by P (x, y).
By definition of centroid of a triangle, we have [latex s=2]\frac { -3+0+x }{ 3 } [/latex] = 0 [∵The centroid is at the origin]
and [latex s=2]\frac { 1-2+y }{ 3 } [/latex] = 0
From above : x = 3 and y = 1

∴ The required third vertex is (3,1)

Solution 6.
Expressing sin⁴θ -cos⁴θ as (sin²θ)² – (cos²θ)²
⇒ sin⁴ θ -cos⁴ θ
= (sin²θ -cos²θ). (sin²θ + cos²θ)
Now, we know that sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
∴ [latex s=2]\frac { \sin ^{ 4 }{ \theta } -\cos ^{ 4 }{ \theta } }{ \sin ^{ 2 }{ \theta } -\cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta } } [/latex] = 1 = R.H.S. (Hence Proved) (1)

Section-B

Solution 7.
Since, 28916 > 6812, we apply division lemma to 28916 and 6812, to get
28916 = 6812 × 4+1668
6812=1668 × 4+140 (1/2)
1668= 140 × 11 + 128
140= 128 × 1 + 12 (1/2)
128= 12 × 10 + 8
12= 8 × 1 +4 (1/2)
8 =4 × 2 + 0
The remainder has became zero. Now our procedure stops. At this stage the divisor is 4. So the HCF(6812,28916) is 4. (1/2)

Solution 8.
By ar (∆ABC) = 0 for collinear points A, B and C.
∴x(7 – 5)-5(5 – y)-4(y – 7) = 0 (1)
So, 2x – 25 +5y – 4y + 28 = 0 (1/2)
Hence, 2x + y + 3 = 0 (1/2)

Solution 9.
n(S) = 52, n(E) = 4 + 4 = 8 (1)
P(E) = [latex s=2]\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 8 }{ 52 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 2 }{ 13 } [/latex] (1)

Solution 10.

Solution 11.

Solution 12.
n(S) = 6x 6= 36, E = {(4,6), (5,5), (6,4)} n(E) = 3
n(E) = 3 (1)
P(E) = [latex s=2]\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 3}{ 36 } [/latex] = [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 12 } [/latex] (1)

= [latex s=2]\frac { 1 }{ 2 } [/latex] (2x – 8 + 2x+ 10) =2x+1 (1)
2x+1=25 ⇒ x=12. (1)

Solution 21.
Given : Tangents AB and DC are parallel
To Prove : PQ passing through centre O
Const: DrawEO || AB

Proof :AB || DC
Sum of the angles on the same side of transversal is 180°
∠APO + ∠EOP=180° ⇒ ∠EOP= 180°-90° =90° (1)
Similarly, ∠EOQ = 90°
