2. The given equation is 5x² – 6x – 2 = 0

Comparing with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get

Here a = 5, b = -6 and c = -2             1

D=b² – 4ac = (-6)² -4(5) (-2) = 36 + 40 = 76            1

Since, D > 0, hence it has real roots

3. Let the first term and common difference of the A.P. be a and d respectively.

Using, an = a + (n – 1)d

a15 = a + 14d and a10 = a +9d          ½

According to the question,

10(a + 9d) = 15 (a + 14d)

or 10a + 90d = 15a + 210d

or 5a + 120d = 0

or 5 (a + 24d) = 0         1

or a + 24d = 0

⇒ a25 = a + (25 – 1)d = 0            ½

Or

Consider 2, 4, 6,………. is in A.P.          ½

a = 2, d = 2

4. PA = PB               ½

or, ∠PAB = ∠PBA = 60°              ½

∴ △PAB is an equilateral triangle.           ½

Hence, AB = PA = 5 cm.            ½

5. Diameter of sphere = 6 cm

∴ Radius (r) = 3 cm

Diameter of cylindrical vessel = 12 cm

∴ Radius (R) = 6 cm

7. Let the number of wickets taken by Zahir be x.

Then, the number of wickets taken by Harbhajan = 2x – 3

According to question,

x (2x – 3) = 20

⇒ 2x² – 3x = 20

∴ Required quadratic equation is,

2x² – 3x – 20 = 0                1

2x² – 8x + 5x – 20 = 0

2x (x – 4) + 5 (x – 4) = 0

(2x + 5)(x – 4) = 0

8. Given – A circle ( 10, OP ) and tangent at P

To prove – OP ⊥ PQ

Construction – Extend OR to Q, at AB.

Proof- We have –

OP = OR (radius)

OQ = OR + OR

Clearly OQ = OR

OQ = OP

The shortest line joining a point to any point on given line is ⊥ to that line

⇒ OP ⊥ AB

⇒ OP ⊥ PQ

10. Given AP is:

45, 39, 33, ……

Here, a = 45, d = 39 – 45 = -6 and Sn = 180

Since,

Description automatically generated

⇒ 360 = n(90 – 6n + 6)

⇒ 360 = n(96 – 6n)

⇒ 180 = n (48 – 3n)

⇒ 3n² – 48n + 180 = 0               1

⇒ 3n² – 18n – 30m + 180 = 0

⇒ 3n(n – 6) – 30 (n – 6) = 0

⇒ (3n – 30) (n – 6) = 0

⇒ n = 10, n = 6

Hence, 10 terms or 6 terms can be taken to get the sum of AP as 180.

Steps of construction :

Step 1: Taking any point O on the given plane as centre, draw a circle of 5 cm radius.

Step 2: Take one of its diameters, PQ, and extend it on both sides. Locate two points on this diameter such that OR = OS = 10 cm

Step 3: Bisect OR and OS. Let T and U be the mid-points of OR and OS, respectively.

Step 4: Taking T and U as its centre and with TO and UO as radius, draw two circles. These two circles will intersect the circle at point V, W, X, Y respectively. Join RV, RW, SX, and SY. These are the required tangents.                  2

(ii) Let r be the width of the embankment.

The radius of outer circle of the embankment = 4 + r

Area of upper surface of embankment = Area of outer circle – Area of inner circle
