Laws of exponents for real numbers

  • A number is called a rational number, if it can be written in the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$.

  • A number which cannot be expressed in the form $\frac{p}{q}$ (where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$ ) is called an irrational number.

  • All rational numbers and all irrational numbers together make the collection of real numbers.

  • Decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating recurring, while the decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating non-recurring.

  • If $r$ is a rational number and $s$ is an irrational number, then $r+s$ and $r$-s are irrationals.

Further, if $r$ is a non-zero rational, then $r s$ and $\frac{r}{s}$ are irrationals.

  • $\quad$ For positive real numbers $a$ and $b$ :

(i) $\sqrt{a b}=\sqrt{a} \sqrt{b}$

(ii) $\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}$

(iii) $(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b})=a-b$

(iv) $(a+\sqrt{b})(a-\sqrt{b})=a^{2}-b$

(v) $(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})^{2}=a+2 \sqrt{a b}+b$

  • If $p$ and $q$ are rational numbers and $a$ is a positive real number, then

(i) $a^{p} \cdot a^{q}=a^{p+q}$

(ii) $\quad(a^{p})^{q}=a^{p q}$

(iii) $\frac{a^{p}}{a^{q}}=a^{p-q}$

(iv) $a^{p} b^{p}=(a b)^{p}$

~~ Sample Question 1: Are there two irrational numbers whose sum and product both are rationals? Justify.

Solution: Yes.

$3+\sqrt{2}$ and $3-\sqrt{2}$ are two irrational numbers.

$(3+\sqrt{2})+(3-\sqrt{2})=6$, a rational number.

$(3+\sqrt{2}) \times(3-\sqrt{2})=7$, a rational number.

So, we have two irrational numbers whose sum and product both are rationals.

~~ Sample Question 2: State whether the following statement is true:

There is a number $x$ such that $x^{2}$ is irrational but $x^{4}$ is rational. Justify your answer by an example.

Solution : True.

Let us take $x=\sqrt[4]{2}$

Now, $\quad x^{2}=(\sqrt[4]{2})^{2}=\sqrt{2}$, an irrational number.

$ x^{4}=(\sqrt[4]{2})^{4}=2 \text{, a rational number. } $

So, we have a number $x$ such that $x^{2}$ is irrational but $x^{4}$ is rational.

EXERCISE 1.2

~~ 1. Let $x$ and $y$ be rational and irrational numbers, respectively. Is $x+y$ necessarily an irrational number? Give an example in support of your answer.

~~ 2. Let $x$ be rational and $y$ be irrational. Is $x y$ necessarily irrational? Justify your answer by an example.

~~ 3. State whether the following statements are true or false? Justify your answer.

(i) $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ is a rational number.

(ii) There are infinitely many integers between any two integers.

(iii) Number of rational numbers between 15 and 18 is finite.

(iv) There are numbers which cannot be written in the form $\frac{p}{q}, q \neq 0, p, q$ both are integers.

(v) The square of an irrational number is always rational.

(vi) $\frac{\sqrt{12}}{\sqrt{3}}$ is not a rational number as $\sqrt{12}$ and $\sqrt{3}$ are not integers.

(vii) $\frac{\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{3}}$ is written in the form $\frac{p}{q}, q \neq 0$ and so it is a rational number.

~~ 4. Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational with justification :

(i) $\sqrt{196}$

(ii) $3 \sqrt{18}$

(iii) $\sqrt{\frac{9}{27}}$

(iv) $\frac{\sqrt{28}}{\sqrt{343}}$

(v) $-\sqrt{0.4}$

(vi) $\frac{\sqrt{12}}{\sqrt{75}}$

(viii) $(1+\sqrt{5})-(4+\sqrt{5})$

(ix) $10.124124 \ldots$ (x) $1.010010001 \ldots$

(D) Short Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: Locate $\sqrt{13}$ on the number line.

Solution: We write 13 as the sum of the squares of two natural numbers :

$13=9+4=3^{2}+2^{2}$

On the number line, take $OA=3$ units.

Draw $BA=2$ units, perpendicular to OA. Join OB (see Fig.1.1).

By Pythagoras theorem, $OB=\sqrt{13}$

Using a compass with centre $O$ and radius $OB$, draw an arc which intersects the number line at the point $C$. Then, $C$ corresponds to $\sqrt{13}$.

Remark: We can also take $OA=2$ units and $AB=3$ units.

~~ Sample Question 2 : Express $0.12 \overline{3}$ in the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$.

Solution :

Let $\quad x=0.12 \overline{3}$

so,$\quad 10 x=1.2 \overline{3} $

or $\quad 10 x-x=1.2 \overline{3}-0.12 \overline{3}=1.2333 \ldots-0.12333 \ldots $

or $\quad 9 x=1.11 $

or $\quad x=\frac{1.11}{9}=\frac{111}{900} $

Therefore, $\quad 0.12 \overline{3}=\frac{111}{900}=\frac{37}{300} $

~~ Sample Question 3 : Simplify : $(3 \sqrt{5}-5 \sqrt{2})(4 \sqrt{5}+3 \sqrt{2})$.

Solution : $(3 \sqrt{5}-5 \sqrt{2})(4 \sqrt{5}+3 \sqrt{2})$

$ \begin{aligned} & =12 \times 5-20 \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{5}+9 \sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{2}-15 \times 2 \\ & =60-20 \sqrt{10}+9 \sqrt{10}-30 \\ & =30-11 \sqrt{10} \end{aligned} $

~~ Sample Question 4 : Find the value of $a$ in the following :

$ \frac{6}{3 \sqrt{2}-2 \sqrt{3}}=3 \sqrt{2}-a \sqrt{3} $

Solution : $\frac{6}{3 \sqrt{2}-2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{6}{3 \sqrt{2}-2 \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{3 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{3}}{3 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{3}}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{6(3 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{3})}{(3 \sqrt{2})^{2}-(2 \sqrt{3})^{2}}=\frac{6(3 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{3})}{18-12}=\frac{6(3 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{3})}{6} \\ & =3 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{3} \end{aligned} $

Therefore, $\quad 3 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{3}=3 \sqrt{2}-a \sqrt{3}$

or $\quad a=-2 $

~~ Sample Question 5: Simplify : $[5(8^{\frac{1}{3}}+27^{\frac{1}{3}})^{3}]^{\frac{1}{4}}$

Solution :

$ [5(8^{\frac{1}{3}}+27^{\frac{1}{3}})^{3}]^{\frac{1}{4}}=[5((2^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}}+(3^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}})^{3}]^{\frac{1}{4}} $

$ \begin{aligned} & =[5(2+3)^{3}]^{\frac{1}{4}} \\ & =[5(5)^{3}]^{\frac{1}{4}} \\ & =[5^{4}]^{\frac{1}{4}}=5 \end{aligned} $

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1 : If $a=5+2 \sqrt{6}$ and $b=\frac{1}{a}$, then what will be the value of $a^{2}+b^{2} ?$

Solution : $a=5+2 \sqrt{6}$

$b=\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5+2 \sqrt{6}}=\frac{1}{5+2 \sqrt{6}} \times \frac{5-2 \sqrt{6}}{5-2 \sqrt{6}}=\frac{5-2 \sqrt{6}}{5^{2}-(2 \sqrt{6})^{2}}=\frac{5-2 \sqrt{6}}{25-24}=5-2 \sqrt{6}$

Therefore, $\quad a^{2}+b^{2}=(a+b)^{2}-2 a b$

Here,

$ \begin{aligned} & a+b=(5+2 \sqrt{6})+(5-2 \sqrt{6})=10 \\ & a b=(5+2 \sqrt{6})(5-2 \sqrt{6})=5^{2}-(2 \sqrt{6})^{2}=25-24=1 \end{aligned} $

Therefore,

$ a^{2}+b^{2}=10^{2}-2 \times 1=100-2=98 $

(ii) $\frac{6 \sqrt{x}+x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{x}}$ is a polynomial, $x \neq 0$

Solution :

(i) False, because the exponent of the variable is not a whole number.

(iii) A binomial may have degree 5

(iv) Zero of a polynomial is always 0

(v) A polynomial cannot have more than one zero

(vi) The degree of the sum of two polynomials each of degree 5 is always 5.

(D) Short Answer Questions

Sample Question 1 :

(i) Check whether $p(x)$ is a multiple of $g(x)$ or not, where

$p(x)=x^{3}-x+1, \quad g(x)=2-3 x$

(ii) Check whether $g(x)$ is a factor of $p(x)$ or not, where

$ p(x)=8 x^{3}-6 x^{2}-4 x+3, \quad g(x)=\frac{x}{3}-\frac{1}{4} $

Solution :

(i) $p(x)$ will be a multiple of $g(x)$ if $g(x)$ divides $p(x)$.

Now, $\quad g(x)=2-3 x=0$ gives $x=\frac{2}{3}$

$ \begin{aligned} & \text{ Remainder } \quad=p(\frac{2}{3})=(\frac{2}{3})^{3}-(\frac{2}{3})+1 \\ & =\frac{8}{27}-\frac{2}{3}+1=\frac{17}{27} \end{aligned} $

Since remainder $\neq 0$, so, $p(x)$ is not a multiple of $g(x)$.

(ii) $g(x)=\frac{x}{3}-\frac{1}{4}=0$ gives $x=\frac{3}{4}$

$g(x)$ will be a factor of $p(x)$ if $p(\frac{3}{4})=0$ (Factor theorem)

Now, $\quad p(\frac{3}{4})=8(\frac{3}{4})^{3}-6(\frac{3}{4})^{2}-4(\frac{3}{4})+3$

$ =8 \times \frac{27}{64}-6 \times \frac{9}{16}-3+3=0 $

Since, $\quad p(\frac{3}{4})=0$, so, $g(x)$ is a factor of $p(x)$.

~~ Sample Question 2 : Find the value of $a$, if $x-a$ is a factor of $x^{3}-a x^{2}+2 x+a-1$.

Solution : Let $p(x)=x^{3}-a x^{2}+2 x+a-1$

Since $x-a$ is a factor of $p(x)$, so $p(a)=0$.

$ \begin{matrix} \text{ i.e., } & a^{3}-a(a)^{2}+2 a+a-1=0 \\ & a^{3}-a^{3}+2 a+a-1=0 \\ & 3 a=1 \end{matrix} $

Therefore, $a=\frac{1}{3}$

~~ Sample Question 3 : (i)Without actually calculating the cubes, find the value of $48^{3}-30^{3}-18^{3}$.

(ii)Without finding the cubes, factorise $(x-y)^{3}+(y-z)^{3}+(z-x)^{3}$.

Solution: We know that $x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}-3 x y z=(x+y+z)(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}-x y-y z-z x)$.

If $x+y+z=0$, then $x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}-3 x y z=0$ or $x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}=3 x y z$.

(i) We have to find the value of $48^{3}-30^{3}-18^{3}=48^{3}+(-30)^{3}+(-18)^{3}$.

Here, $48+(-30)+(-18)=0$

So, $48^{3}+(-30)^{3}+(-18)^{3}=3 \times 48 \times(-30) \times(-18)=77760$

(ii) Here, $(x-y)+(y-z)+(z-x)=0$

Therefore, $(x-y)^{3}+(y-z)^{3}+(z-x)^{3}=3(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)$.

Plotting of points in the cartesian plane:

  • $\quad$ In the Cartesian plane, the horizontal line is called the $x$-axis and the vertical line is called the $y$-axis,

  • The coordinate axes divide the plane into four parts called quadrants,

  • The point of intersection of the axes is called the origin,

  • $\quad$ Abscissa or the $x$-coordinate of a point is its distance from the $y$-axis and the ordinate or the $y$-coordinate is its distance from the $x$-axis,

  • $\quad(x, y)$ are called the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is $x$ and the ordinate is $y$,

  • $\quad$ Coordinates of a point on the $x$-axis are of the form $(x, 0)$ and that of the point on the $y$-axis is of the form $(0, y)$,

  • $\quad$ The coordinates of the origin are $(0,0)$,

  • $\quad$ Signs of the coordinates of a point in the first quadrant are $(+,+)$, in the second quadrant $(-,+)$, in the third quadrant $(-,-)$ and in the fourth quadrant $(+,-)$.

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1 : Three vertices of a rectangle are $(3,2),(-4,2)$ and $(-4,5)$. Plot these points and find the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

Solution: Plot the three vertices of the rectangle as $A(3,2), B(-4,2), C(-4,5)$ (see Fig. 3.7).

Fig. 3.7

We have to find the coordinates of the fourth vertex $D$ so that $A B C D$ is a rectangle. Since the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, so the abscissa of $D$ should be equal to abscissa of A, i.e., 3 and the ordinate of $D$ should be equal to the ordinate of C, i.e., 5 .

So, the coordinates of $D$ are $(3,5)$.

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

(A) Main Concepts and Results

An equation is a statement in which one expression equals to another expression. An equation of the form $a x+b y+c=0$, where $a, b$ and $c$ are real numbers such that $a \neq 0$ and $b \neq 0$, is called a linear equation in two variables. The process of finding Solution(s) is called solving an equation.

The Solution of a linear equation is not affected when

(i) the same number is added to (subtracted from) both sides of the equation,

(ii) both sides of the equation are multiplied or divided by the same non-zero number.

Further, a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions. The graph of every linear equation in two variables is a straight line and every point on the graph (straight line) represents a Solution of the linear equation. Thus, every Solution of the linear equation can be represented by a unique point on the graph of the equation. The graphs of $x=a$ and $y=a$ are lines parallel to the $y$-axis and $x$-axis, respectively.

(iii) False, the points $(2,0),(-3,0)$ lie on the $x$-axis. The point $(4,2)$ lies in the first quadrant. The point $(0,5)$ lies on the $y$-axis.

~~ 7. The graph of every linear equation in two variables need not be a line.

(D) Short Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: Find the points where the graph of the equation $3 x+4 y=12$ cuts the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis.

Solution: The graph of the linear equation $3 x+4 y=12$ cuts the $x$-axis at the point where $y=0$. On putting $y=0$ in the linear equation, we have $3 x=12$, which gives $x=4$. Thus, the required point is $(4,0)$.

The graph of the linear equation $3 x+4 y=12$ cuts the $y$-axis at the point where $x=0$. On putting $x=0$ in the given equation, we have $4 y=12$, which gives $y=3$. Thus, the required point is $(0,3)$.

~~ Sample Question 2 : At what point does the graph of the linear equation $x+y=5$ meet a line which is parallel to the $y$-axis, at a distance 2 units from the origin and in the positive direction of $x$-axis.

Solution: The coordinates of the points lying on the line parallel to the $y$-axis, at a distance 2 units from the origin and in the positive direction of the $x$-axis are of the form (2,a). Putting $x=2, y=a$ in the equation $x+y=5$, we get $a=3$. Thus, the required point is $(2,3)$.

~~ Sample Question 3 : Determine the point on the graph of the equation $2 x+5 y=20$ whose $x$-coordinate is $\frac{5}{2}$ times its ordinate.

Solution: As the $x$-coordinate of the point is $\frac{5}{2}$ times its ordinate, therefore, $x=\frac{5}{2} y$. Now putting $x=\frac{5}{2} y$ in $2 x+5 y=20$, we get, $y=2$. Therefore, $x=5$. Thus, the required point is $(5,2)$.

~~ Sample Question 4 : Draw the graph of the equation represented by the straight line which is parallel to the $x$-axis and is 4 units above it.

Solution : Any straight line parallel to $x$-axis is given by $y=k$, where $k$ is the distance of the line from the $x$-axis. Here $k=4$. Therefore, the equation of the line is $y=4$. To draw the graph of this equation, plot the points $(1,4)$ and $(2,4)$ and join them. This is the required graph (see Fig. 4.3).

~~ 10. Let $y$ varies directly as $x$. If $y=12$ when $x=4$, then write a linear equation. What is the value of $y$ when $x=5$ ?

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: Draw the graph of the linear equation $2 x+3 y=12$. At what points, the graph of the equation cuts the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis?

Solution: The given equation is $2 x+3 y=12$. To draw the graph of this equation, we need at least two points lying on the graph.

From the equation, we have $y=\frac{12-2 x}{3}$

For $x=0, y=4$, therefore, $(0,4)$ lies on the graph.

For $y=0, x=6$, therefore, $(6,0)$ lies on the graph.

Now plot the points $A(0,4)$ and $B(6,0)$ and join them (see Fig 4.4), to get the line AB. Line $AB$ is the required graph.

You can see that the graph (line AB) cuts the $x$-axis at the point $(6,0)$ and the $y$-axis at the point $(0,4)$.

Fig. 4.4

~~ Sample Question 2: The following values of $x$ and $y$ are thought to satisfy a linear equation :

$x$ 1 2
$y$ 1 3

Draw the graph, using the values of $x, y$ as given in the above table.

At what point the graph of the linear equation

(i) cuts the $x$-axis.

(ii) cuts the $y$-axis.

Sollution: From the table, we get two points $A(1,1)$ and $B(2,3)$ which lie on the graph of the linear equation. Obviously, the graph will be a straight line. So, we first plot the points A and B and join them as shown in the Fig 4.5.

From the Fig 4.5, we see that the graph cuts the $x$-axis at the point $(\frac{1}{2}, 0)$ and the $y$-axis at the point $(0,-1)$.

Fig. 4.5

~~ Sample Question 3 : The Autorikshaw fare in a city is charged Rs 10 for the first kilometer and @ Rs 4 per kilometer for subsequent distance covered. Write the linear equation to express the above statement. Draw the graph of the linear equation.

Solution: Let the total distance covered be $x km$ and the fare charged $Rs y$. Then for the first $km$, fare charged is Rs 10 and for remaining $(x-1) km$ fare charged is Rs $4(x-1)$.

Therefore, $y=10+4(x-1)=4 x+6$

The required equation is $y=4 x+6$. Now, when $x=0, y=6$ and when $x=-1, y=2$. The graph is given in Fig 4.6.

Fig. 4.6

~~ Sample Question 4 : The work done by a body on application of a constant force is the product of the constant force and the distance travelled by the body in the direction of force. Express this in the form of a linear equation in two variables and draw its graph by taking the constant force as 3 units. What is the work done when the distance travelled is 2 units. Verify it by plotting the graph.

Solution: Work done $=($ constant force $) \times($ distance $)$

$ =3 \times(\text{ distance }) $

i.e., $y=3 x$, where $y$ (units) is the work done and $x$ (units) is the distance travelled. Since $x=2$ units (given), therefore, work done $=6$ units. To plot the graph of the linear equation $y=3 x$, we need at least two solutions of the equation. We see that $x=0, y=0$ satisfies the given equation also $x=1$, $y=3$ satisfies the equation.

Now we plot the points $A(0,0)$ and $B(1,3)$ and join $A B$ (see Fig. 4.7). The graph of the equation is a straight line. [We have not shown the whole line because work done cannot be negative].

To verify from the graph, draw a perpendicular to the $x$-axis at the point $(2,0)$ meeting the graph at the point $C$. Clearly the coordinates of $C$ are $(2,6)$. It means that the work done is 6 units.

Fig. 4.7

(iii) If the temperature is $0^{\circ} C$ what is the temperature in Fahrenheit and if the temperature is $0^{\circ} F$, what is the temperature in Celsius?

(iv) What is the numerical value of the temperature which is same in both the scales?

~~ 5. If the temperature of a liquid can be measured in Kelvin units as $x^{\circ} K$ or in Fahrenheit units as $y^{\circ} F$, the relation between the two systems of measurement of temperature is given by the linear equation

CHAPTER 5

INTRODUCTION TO EUCLID’S GEOMETRY

(A) Main Concepts and Results

Points, Line, Plane or surface, Axiom, Postulate and Theorem, The Elements, Shapes of altars or vedis in ancient India, Equivalent versions of Euclid’s fifth Postulate, Consistency of a system of axioms.

Ancient India

  • The geometry of the Vedic period originated with the construction of altars (or vedis) and fireplaces for performing Vedic rites. Square and circular altars were used for household rituals, while altars, whose shapes were combinations of rectangles, triangles and trapeziums, were required for public worship.

Egypt, Babylonia and Greece

  • Egyptians developed a number of geometric techniques and rules for calculating simple areas and doing simple constructions. Babylonians and Egyptains used geometry mostly for practical purposes and did very little to develop it as a systematic science. The Greeks were interested in establishing the truth of the statements they discovered using deductive reasoning. A Greek mathematician, Thales is credited with giving the first known proof.

Euclid’s Elements

  • Euclid around 300 B.C. collected all known work in the field of mathematics and arranged it in his famous treatise called Elements. Euclid assumed certain properties, which were not to be proved. These assumptions are actually “obvious universal truths”. He divided them into two types.

Axioms

~~ 1. The things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.

~~ 2. If equals be added to the equals, the wholes are equal.

~~ 3. If equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders are equals.

~~ 4. Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.

~~ 5. The whole is greater than the part.

~~ 6. Things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.

~~ 7. Things which are halves of the same thing are equal to one another.

Postulates

~~ 1. A straight line may be drawn from any point to any other point.

~~ 2. A terminated line (line segment) can be produced indefinitely.

~~ 3. A circle may be described with any centre and any radius.

~~ 4. All right angles are equal to one another.

~~ 5. If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side of it, taken together less than two right angles, then the the two straight lines if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which the sum of angles is taken together less than two right angles.

Euclid used the term postulate for the assumptions that were specific to geometry and otherwise called axioms. A theorem is a mathematical statement whose truth has been logically established.

Present Day Geometry

  • A mathematical system consists of axioms, definitions and undefined terms.

  • Point, line and plane are taken as undefined terms.

  • A system of axioms is said to be consistent if there are no contradictions in the axioms and theorems that can be derived from them.

  • Given two distinct points, there is a unique line passing through them.

  • Two distinct lines can not have more than one point in common.

  • Playfair’s Axiom (An equivalent version of Euclid’s fifth postulate).

(C) Short Answer Questions with Reasoning

~~ Sample Question 1 : Write whether the following statements are True or False? Justify your answer.

(i) Pyramid is a solid figure, the base of which is a triangle or square or some other polygon and its side faces are equilateral triangles that converges to a point at the top.

(ii) In Vedic period, squares and circular shaped altars were used for household rituals, while altars whose shapes were combination of rectangles, triangles and trapeziums were used for public worship.

(iii) In geometry, we take a point, a line and a plane as undefined terms.

(iv) If the area of a triangle equals the area of a rectangle and the area of the rectangle equals that of a square, then the area of the triangle also equals the area of the square.

(v) Euclid’s fourth axiom says that everything equals itself.

(vi) The Euclidean geometry is valid only for figures in the plane.

Solution :

(i) False. The side faces of a pyramid are triangles not necessarily equilateral triangles.

(ii) True. The geometry of Vedic period originated with the construction of vedis and fireplaces for performing vedic rites. The location of the sacred fires had to be in accordance to the clearly laid down instructions about their shapes and area.

(iii) True. To define a point, a line and a plane in geometry we need to define many other things that give a long chain of definitions without an end. For such reasons, mathematicians agree to leave these geometric terms undefined.

(iv) True. Things equal to the same thing are equal.

(v) True. It is the justification of the principle of superposition.

(vi) True. It fails on the curved surfaces. For example on curved surfaces, the sum of angles of a triangle may be more than $180^{\circ}$.

EXERCISE 5.2

Write whether the following statements are True or False? Justify your answer:

~~ 1. Euclidean geometry is valid only for curved surfaces.

~~ 2. The boundaries of the solids are curves.

~~ 3. The edges of a surface are curves.

~~ 4. The things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.

~~ 5. If a quantity $B$ is a part of another quantity $A$, then $A$ can be written as the sum of $B$ and some third quantity $C$.

~~ 6. The statements that are proved are called axioms.

~~ 7. “For every line $l$ and for every point $P$ not lying on a given line $l$, there exists a unique line $m$ passing through $P$ and parallel to $l$ " is known as Playfair’s axiom.

~~ 8. Two distinct intersecting lines cannot be parallel to the same line.

~~ 9. Attempts to prove Euclid’s fifth postulate using the other postulates and axioms led to the discovery of several other geometries.

(D) Short Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: Ram and Ravi have the same weight. If they each gain weight by $2 kg$, how will their new weights be compared?

Solution : Let $x kg$ be the weight each of Ram and Ravi. On gaining $2 kg$, weight of Ram and Ravi will be $(x+2)$ each. According to Euclid’s second axiom, when equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal. So, weight of Ram and Ravi are again equal.

~~ Sample Question 2 : Solve the equation $a-15=25$ and state which axiom do you use here.

Solution : $a-15=25$. On adding 15 to both sides, we have $a-15+15=25+15=40$ (using Euclid’s second axiom).

or $a=40$

~~ Sample Question 3 : In the Fig. 5.1, if

$\angle 1=\angle 3, \angle 2=\angle 4 \quad$ and $\angle 3=\angle 4$,

write the relation between $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$, using an Euclid’s axiom.

Fig. 5.1

Solution: Here, $\angle 3=\angle 4, \angle 1=\angle 3$ and $\angle 2=\angle 4$. Euclid’s first axiom says, the things which are equal to equal thing are equal to one aother.

So, $\angle 1=\angle 2$.

~~ Sample Question 4 : In Fig. 5.2, we have : $AC=XD, C$ is the mid-point of $A B$ and $D$ is the mid-point of $X Y$. Using an Euclid’s axiom, show that $A B=X Y$.

Fig. 5.2

Solution :

$AB=2 AC(C$ is the mid-point of $AB)$

$XY=2 XD$ ( $D$ is the mid-point of $XY$ )

Also, $AC=XD$ (Given)

Therefore, $AB=XY$, because things which are double of the same things are equal to one another.

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1 : Read the following statement:

“A square is a polygon made up of four line segments, out of which, length of three line segments are equal to the length of fourth one and all its angles are right angles”.

Define the terms used in this definition which you feel necessary. Are there any undefined terms in this? Can you justify that all angles and sides of a square are equal?

Solution: The terms need to be defined are :

Polygon : $\quad$ A simple closed figure made up of three or more line segments.

Line segment : Part of a line with two end points.

Line : $\quad$ Undefined term

Point : $\quad$ Undefined term

Angle : $\quad A$ figure formed by two rays with a common initial point.

Ray : $\quad$ Part of a line with one end point.

Right angle : Angle whose measure is $90^{\circ}$.

Undefined terms used are : line, point.

Euclid’s fourth postulate says that “all right angles are equal to one another.”

In a square, all angles are right angles, therefore, all angles are equal (From Euclid’s fourth postulate).

Three line segments are equal to fourth line segment (Given).

Therefore, all the four sides of a square are equal. (by Euclid’s first axiom “things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.”)

EXERCISE 5.4

~~ 1. Read the following statement :

An equilateral triangle is a polygon made up of three line segments out of which two line segments are equal to the third one and all its angles are $60^{\circ} each$.

Define the terms used in this definition which you feel necessary. Are there any undefined terms in this? Can you justify that all sides and all angles are equal in a equilateral triangle.

~~ 2. Study the following statement:

“Two intersecting lines cannot be perpendicular to the same line”.

Check whether it is an equivalent version to the Euclid’s fifth postulate. [Hint: Identify the two intersecting lines $l$ and $m$ and the line $n$ in the above statement.]

~~ 3. Read the following statements which are taken as axioms :

(i) If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are not necessarily equal.

(ii) If a transversal intersect two parallel lines, then alternate interior angles are equal.

Is this system of axioms consistent? Justify your answer.

~~ 4. Read the following two statements which are taken as axioms :

(i) If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are not equal.

e rays in the anticlockwise direction such that $\angle AOB=$ $\angle COD=100^{\circ}, \angle BOC=82^{\circ}$ and $\angle AOD=78^{\circ}$. Is it true to say that $AOC$ and $BOD$ are lines?

(D) Short Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1 : In Fig. 6.7, AB, CD and EF are three lines concurrent at $O$. Find the value of $y$.

Solution : $\angle AOE=\angle BOF=5 y$

(Vertically opposite angles)

Also,

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: In Fig. 6.15, $m$ and $n$ are two plane mirrors perpendicular to each other. Show that incident ray $CA$ is parallel to reflected ray BD.

Fig. 6.15

Solution: Let normals at A and B meet at P.

As mirrors are perpendicular to each other, therefore, BP || OA and AP || OB.

So, $\quad BP \perp PA \text{, i.e., } \angle BPA=90^{\circ} $

Therefore, $ \quad $

$ \begin{aligned} \angle 3+\angle 2=90^{\circ} \text{ (Angle sum property) } \quad \text{(1)} \end{aligned} $

Also, $ \quad \angle 1=\angle 2 \text{ and } \angle 4=\angle 3 \text{ (Angle of incidence } $

$ =\text{ Angle of reflection) } $

Therefore, $ \quad $

$ \begin{aligned} \angle 1+\angle 4=90^{\circ} \quad[\text{ From (1)] } \quad \text{(2)} \end{aligned} $

Adding (1) and (2), we have

$ \angle 1+\angle 2+\angle 3+\angle 4= 180^{\circ} $

$ \text{ i.e., } \quad \angle CAB+\angle DBA= 180^{\circ} $

$\text{ Hence, } \quad CA || BD $

~~ Sample Question 2: Prove that the sum of the three angles of a triangle is $180^{\circ}$.

Solution: See proof of Theorem 6.7 in Class IX Mathematics Textbook.

~~ Sample Question 3: Bisectors of angles B and $C$ of a triangle $ABC$ intersect each other at the point $O$. Prove that $\angle BOC=90^{\circ}+$ $\frac{1}{2} \angle A$.

Solution: Let us draw the figure as shown in Fig. 6.16

$\angle A+\angle ABC+\angle ACB=180^{\circ}$

(Angle sum property of a triangle)

Fig. 6.16

Therefore, $\frac{1}{2} \angle A+\frac{1}{2} \angle ABC+\frac{1}{2} \angle ACB=\frac{1}{2} \times 180^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$

i.e., $\frac{1}{2} \angle A+\angle OBC+\angle OCB=90^{\circ}$ (Since $BO$ and $CO$ are

bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ )

But $\angle BOC+\angle OBC+\angle OCB=180^{\circ}$ (Angle sum property)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we have

$\angle BOC+\angle OBC+\angle OCB-\frac{1}{2} \angle A-\angle OBC-\angle OCB=180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$

i.e., $\angle BOC=90^{\circ}+\frac{1}{2} \angle A$

Fig. 7.2

Solution: BC || AD (Given)

Therefore, $\quad \angle CBO=\angle DAO$ (Alternate interior angles) and $\quad \angle BCO=\angle ADO$ (Alternate interior angles)

Also, $\quad BC=DA$ (Given)

So, $\quad \triangle BOC \cong \triangle AOD \quad(ASA)$

the mid-point of both $AB$ and $CD$.

~~ Sample Question 3 : In Fig.7.3, PQ > PR and QS and RS are the bisectors of $\angle Q$ and $\angle R$, respectively. Show that $SQ>SR$.

Therefore, SQ > SR(Side opposite the greater angle will be longer)

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: In Fig. 7.9, ABC is a right triangle and right angled at $B$ such that $\angle BCA=2 \angle BAC$. Show that Fig. 7.8 hypotenuse $AC=2 BC$.

Fig. 7.9

Solution: Produce $CB$ to a point $D$ such that $BC=BD$ and join $AD$.

In $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$, we have

$ \begin{aligned} BC & =BD & & (\text{ By construction }) \\ AB & =AB & & (\text{ Same side }) \\ \angle ABC & =\angle ABD & & (\text{ Each of } 90^{\circ}) \end{aligned} $

Therefore, $\quad \triangle ABC \cong \triangle ABD \quad(SAS)$

Thus, $\quad \angle CAD=\angle CAB+\angle BAD=x+x=2 x \quad[$ From (1) $] \quad (3)$

and $\quad \angle ACD=\angle ADB=2 x \quad[$ From (2), $AC=AD] \quad (4)$

Solution: We are given a point $D$ on side $BC$ of a $\triangle ABC$ such that $\angle BAD=\angle CAD$ and $BD=CD$ (see Fig. 7.10). We are to prove that $A B=A C$.

Produce $AD$ to a point $E$ such that $AD=DE$ and then join $CE$.

Now, in $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle ECD$, we have

Fig. 7.10

$BD=CD$ (Given)
$A D=E D$ (By construction)
and $\angle ADB=\angle EDC$ (Vertically opposite angles)
Therefore, $\Delta ABD \cong \Delta ECD$ $(SAS)$
So,
and
$\begin{drcases} AB & =EC \\ \angle BAD & =\angle CED \end{drcases}$ $(CPCT) \quad (1)(2)$
Also, $\angle BAD=\angle CAD$ (Given)
Therefore, $\angle CAD=\angle CED$ [From (2)]
So, $AC=EC$ [Sides opposite the equal angles] $\quad (3)$
Therefore, $AB=AC$ [From (1) and (3)]

~~ Sample Question 4: $ S$ is any point in the interior of $\Delta PQR$. Show that $SQ+SR<$ PQ + PR.

Solution: Produce QS to intersect PR at T (See Fig. 7.11).

From $\triangle PQT$, we have

$PQ+PT>QT$ (Sum of any two sides is greater than the third side)

i.e., $\quad PQ+PT>SQ+ST$

From $\Delta$ TSR, we have

$ \begin{aligned} ST+TR>SR \text{2} \end{aligned} $

Adding (1) and (2), we get

$ PQ+PT+ST+TR>SQ+ST+SR $

$\text{ i.e., } \quad PQ+PT+TR>SQ+SR $

$\text{ i.e., } \quad PQ+PR>SQ+SR $

$\text{ or } \quad SQ+SR<PQ+PR $

In $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle ACD$,

$AB$ $=AC \quad($ Given $)$
$\angle B$ $=\angle C \quad($ because $AB=AC)$
and $\angle ADB$ $=\angle ADC$
Therefore, $\triangle ABD$ $\cong \triangle ACD(AAS)$

Therefore, $\angle ABC=90^{\circ}$

~~ Sample Question 2 : Diagonals of a rhombus are equal and perpendicular to each other. Is this statement true? Give reason for your answer.

Solution: This statement is false, because diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular but not equal to each other.

~~ Sample Question 3 : Three angles of a quadrilateral ABCD are equal. Is it a parallelogram? Why or why not?

~~ 14. Opposite angles of a quadrilateral $A B C D$ are equal. If $A B=4 cm$, determine CD.

(D) Short Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: Angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio $3: 4: 4: 7$. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.

Solution : Let the angles of the quadrilateral be $3 x, 4 x, 4 x$ and $7 x$.

So, $ \quad 3 x+4 x+4 x+7 x=360^{\circ} $

0r $ \quad 18 x=360^{\circ}, \text{ i.e., } x=20^{\circ} $

Thus, required angles are $60^{\circ}, 80^{\circ}, 80^{\circ}$ and $140^{\circ}$.

~~ Sample Question 2 : In Fig.8.3, X and Y are respectively the mid-points of the opposite sides $AD$ and $BC$ of a parallelogram $ABCD$. Also, BX and DY intersect $AC$ at $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Show that $A P=P Q=Q C$.

Fig. 8.3

Solution :

$ AD=BC $

(Opposite sides of a parallelogram)

Therefore,$ \quad DX=BY(\frac{1}{2} AD$

$=\frac{1}{2} BC)$

Also, $\quad$ DX || $\quad$ BY (As AD || BC)

So, XBYD is a parallelogram (A pair of opposite sides equal and parallel)

i.e.,$ \quad P X || Q D $

Therefore,$ \quad AP=PQ \text{1}$

(From $\triangle AQD$ where $X$ is mid-point of $AD$ )

Similarly, from $\triangle CPB, CQ=PQ \quad (1)$

Thus,$\quad AP=PQ=CQ[From (1) and (2)] \quad (2)$

~~ Sample Question 3 : In Fig.8.4, AX and CY are respectively the bisectors of the opposite angles $A$ and $C$ of a parallelogram $ABCD$.

Show that $AX || CY$.

Fig. 8.4

Solution: $\angle A=\angle C$

(Opposite angles of parallelogram ABCD)

Therefore,

$ \frac{1}{2} \angle A=\frac{1}{2} \angle C $

$ \begin{aligned} \text{ i.e., } \quad \angle YAX=\angle YCX \quad \text{(1)} \end{aligned} $

Also, $\quad \angle AYC+\angle YCX=180^{\circ} (Because\quad YA \quad II \quad CX) \quad(2) $

Therefore,$\quad \angle AYC+\angle YAX=180^{\circ}$ [from (1) and (2)]

So, AX || CY (As interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary)

EXERCISE 8.3

~~ 1. One angle of a quadrilateral is of $108^{\circ}$ and the remaining three angles are equal. Find each of the three equal angles.

Fig. 8.7

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: PQ and RS are two equal and parallel line-segments. Any point M not lying on $PQ$ or $RS$ is joined to $Q$ and $S$ and lines through $P$ parallel to $QM$ and through R parallel to SM meet at N. Prove that line segments MN and PQ are equal and parallel to each other.

Solution: We draw the figure as per the given conditions (Fig.8.8).

Fig. 8.8

It is given that $PQ=RS$ and $PQ || RS$. Therefore, $PQSR$ is a parallelogram.

So,$ \quad \begin{aligned} PR=QS \text{ and } PR || QS \quad \text{(1)} \end{aligned} $

Now,$\quad P R || Q S \quad (1)$

Therefore,$ \quad \begin{aligned} \angle RPQ+\angle PQS=180^{\circ} \end{aligned} $

(Interior angles on the same side of the transversal)

i.e.,$ \quad \begin{aligned} \angle RPQ+\angle PQM+\angle MQS=180^{\circ} \quad \text{(2)} \end{aligned} $

Also,$ \quad PN || QM$ (By construction)

Therefore,$ \quad \angle NPQ+\angle PQM=180^{\circ} $

i.e.,$ \quad \begin{aligned} \angle NPR+\angle RPQ+\angle PQM=180^{\circ} \quad \text{(3)} \end{aligned} $

So,$ \quad \begin{aligned} \angle NPR=\angle MQS[\text{ From (2) and (3)] } \quad \text{(4)} \end{aligned} $

Similarly,$ \quad \angle NRP=\angle MSQ \quad (5)$

Therefore,$ \quad \Delta PNR \cong \Delta QMS$ [ASA, using (1), (4) and (5)]

So,$ \quad PN=QM$ and $NR=MS(CPCT)$

As,$ \quad PN=QM$ and

PN II QM, we have PQMN is a parallelogram

So,$ \quad MN=PQ$ and $NM || PQ$.

~~ Sample Question 2 : Prove that a diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles.

Solution: See proof of Theorem 8.1 in the textbook.

~~ Sample Question 3 : Show that the quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points the sides of a rhombus, taken in order, form a rectangle.

Solution: Let $A B C D$ be a rhombus and $P, Q, R$ and $S$ be the mid-points of sides $A B$, $BC, CD$ and DA, respectively (Fig. 8.9). Join AC and BD.

Fig. 8.9

From triangle ABD, we have

$ SP=\frac{1}{2} BD \text{ and } $

SP || BD (Because S and P are mid-points)

Similarly,$\quad RQ =\frac{1}{2} BD \text{ and } RQ || BD $

Therefore,$\quad SP =RQ \text{ and } SP || RQ $

So, $ \quad PQRS$ is a parallelogram. $\quad (1)$

Also, $ \quad AC \perp BD$ (Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular)

Further $ \quad PQ || AC($ From $\triangle BAC)$

As $ \quad SP ||BD, PQ|| AC$ and $AC \perp BD$,

therefore, we have $SP \perp PQ$, i.e. $\angle SPQ=90^{\circ} \quad (2)$.

Therefore, $PQRS$ is a rectangle[From (1) and (2)]

~~ Sample Question 4 : A diagonal of a parallelogram bisects one of its angle. Prove that it will bisect its opposite angle also.

Solution : Let us draw the figure as per given condition (Fig.8.10). In it, AC is a diagonal which bisects $\angle BAD$ of the parallelogram $ABCD$, i.e., it is given that $\angle BAC$ $=\angle DAC$. We need to prove that $\angle BCA=\angle DCA$.

$AB || CD$ and $AC$ is a transversal.

Therefore,

$ \begin{aligned} & \angle BAC=\angle DCA(\text{ Alternate angles }) \quad \text{(1)}\\ & \angle DAC=\angle BCA(\text{ From } AD || BC) \quad \text{(2)}\\ & \angle BAC=\angle DAC \quad \text{(3)} \end{aligned} $

Therefore, from (1), (2) and (3), we have

$\angle BCA=\angle DCA$

Fig. 8.10

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1 : In Fig. 9.20, ABCD is a parallelogram. Points $P$ and $Q$ on $BC$ trisects $BC$ in three equal parts. Prove that

$ar(APQ)=ar(DPQ)=\frac{1}{6} ar(ABCD)$

Fig. 9.20

Solution :

Through P and Q, draw PR and QS parallel to AB. Now PQRS is a parallelogram and its base $PQ=\frac{1}{3} BC$.

Fig. 9.21

$ar(APD)=\frac{1}{2} ar(ABCD)[$ Same base BC and BC $|| AD] \quad (1)$

$ar(AQD)=\frac{1}{2} ar(ABCD) \quad (2)$

From (1) and (2), we get

ar $(APD)=ar(AQD) \quad (3)$

Subtracting ar (AOD) from both sides, we get

$ar(APD)-ar(AOD)=ar(AQD)-ar(AOD) \quad (4)$

$ar(APO)=ar(OQD)$,

Adding ar (OPQ) on both sides in (4), we get

$ar(APO)+ar(OPQ)=ar(OQD)+ar(OPQ)$

$ar(APQ)=ar(DPQ)$

Since, $ar(APQ)=\frac{1}{2}$ ar $(PQRS)$, therefore

$ar(DPQ)=\frac{1}{2} ar(PQRS)$

Now, ar $(PQRS)=\frac{1}{3}$ ar $(ABCD)$

Therefore, $ar(APQ)=ar(DPQ)$

$=\frac{1}{2}$ ar $(PQRS)=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3}$ ar $(ABCD)$

$=\frac{1}{6}$ ar $(ABCD)$

~~ Sample Question 2 : In Fig. 9.22, $l, m, n$, are straight lines such that $l || m$ and $n$ intersects $l$ at $P$ and $m$ at $Q$. ABCD is a quadrilateral such that its vertex $A$ is on $l$. The vertices $C$ and $D$ are on $m$ and $AD || n$. Show that

Fig. 9.22

$ar(ABCQ)=ar(ABCDP)$

Solution : $ar(APD)=ar(AQD) \quad (1)$

[Have same base AD and also between same parallels AD and $n$ ].

Adding ar (ABCD) on both sides in (1), we get

$ar(APD)+ar(ABCD)=ar(AQD)+ar(ABCD)$

or ar $(ABCDP)=ar(ABCQ)$

~~ Sample Questions 3 : In Fig. 9.23, BD || CA,

$E$ is mid-point of $CA$ and $BD=\frac{1}{2} CA$. Prove that $ar(ABC)=2 ar(DBC)$

Fig. 9.23

Solution: Join DE. Here BCED is a parallelogram, since

$BD=CE$ and $BD || CE$

ar $(DBC)=ar(EBC) \quad (1)$

[Have the same base $BC$ and between the same parallels]

In $\triangle ABC, BE$ is the median,

So, $\quad$ ar $(EBC)=\frac{1}{2}$ ar $(ABC)$

Now, $\quad ar(ABC)=ar(EBC)+ar(ABE)$

Also, $\quad ar(ABC)=2$ ar $(EBC)$, therefore,

$ar(ABC)=2$ ar $(DBC)$.

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1 : Prove that two circles cannot intersect at more than two points.

Solution: Let there be two circles which intersect at three points say at A, B and C. Clearly, A, B and C are not collinear. We know that through three non-collinear points $A, B$ and $C$ one and only one circle can pass. Therefore, there cannot be two circles passing through A, B and C. In other words, the two circles cannot intersect at more than two points.

~~ Sample Question 2 : Prove that among all the chords of a circle passing through a given point inside the circle that one is smallest which is perpendicular to the diameter passing through the point.

Solution: Let $P$ be the given point inside a circle with centre O. Draw the chord $A B$ which is perpendicular to the diameter XY through P. Let CD be any other chord through P. Draw ON perpendicular to $CD$ from $O$. Then $\triangle ONP$ is a right triangle (Fig.10.17). Therefore, its hypotenuse OP is larger than ON. We know that the chord nearer to the centre is larger than the chord which is farther to the centre. Therefore, $C D>A B$. In other words, $A B$ is the smallest of all chords passing through $P$.

, if each rose bed, on an average needs $900 cm^{2}$ space.

Solution : Let $a=41 m, b=40 m, c=9 m$.

$ s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}=\frac{41+40+9}{2} m=45 m $

Area of the triangular field

$ \begin{aligned} & =\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \\ & =\sqrt{45(45-41)(45-40)(45-9)} \\ & =\sqrt{45 \times 4 \times 5 \times 36}=180 m^{2} \end{aligned} $

Area of the triangle $=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\sqrt{132(132-122)(132-120)(132-22)} \\ & =\sqrt{132 \times 10 \times 12 \times 110} \\ & =1320 m^{2} \end{aligned} $

Area of the triangle $=\sqrt{36(36-22)(36-24)(36-26)}$

~~ Sample Question 1: If each side of a triangle is doubled, then find the ratio of area of the new triangle thus formed and the given triangle.

Solution: Let $a, b, c$ be the sides of the triangle (existing) and $s$ be its semi-perimeter.

Then, $s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

or, $2 s=a+b+c \quad (1)$

Area of the existing triangle $=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}=\Delta$, say

According to the statement, the sides of the new triangle will be $2 a, 2 b$ and $2 c$. Let $S$ be the semi-perimeter of the new triangle.

$S=\frac{2 a+2 b+2 c}{2}=a+b+c \quad (2)$

From (1) and (2), we get

$S=2 s \quad (3)$

Area of the new triangle

$ =\sqrt{S(S-2 a)(S-2 b)(S-2 c)} $

Putting the values, we get

$ \begin{aligned} & =\sqrt{2 s(2 s-2 a)(2 s-2 b)(2 s-2 c)} \\ & =\sqrt{16 s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \\ & =4 \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}=4 \Delta \end{aligned} $

Therefore, the required ratio is $4: 1$.

~~ Sample Question 1 : A right circular cylinder just encloses a sphere of radius $r$ as shown in Fig 13.1. The surface area of the sphere is equal to the curved surface area of the cylinder.

Solution : True.

Here, radius of the sphere $=$ radius of the cylinder $=r$

Therefore, volume of the cone $=\frac{1}{3} \pi(\frac{r}{2})^{2} . r$

$ =\frac{1}{12} \pi r^{3} $

(D) Short Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: The surface area of a sphere of radius $5 cm$ is five times the area of the curved surface of a cone of radius $4 cm$. Find the height and the volume of the cone (taking $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ ).

Solution: Surface area of the sphere $=4 \pi \times 5 \times 5 cm^{2}$.

Curved surface area of the cone $=\pi \times 4 \times l cm^{2}$, where $l$ is the slant height of the cone.

According to the statement

$ \begin{aligned} & 4 \pi \times 5 \times 5=5 \times \pi \times 4 \times l \\ & \text{ or } \quad l=5 cm \text{. } \\ & \text{ Now, } \quad l^{2}=h^{2}+r^{2} \\ & \text{ Therefore, } \quad(5)^{2}=h^{2}+(4)^{2} \\ & \text{ or } \\ & \text{ or } \quad(5+4)(5-4)=h^{2} \\ & \text{ or } \quad 9=h^{2} \\ & \text{ or } \quad h=3 cm \\ & \text{ Volume of Cone }=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h \\ & =\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 4 \times 4 \times 3 cm^{3} \\ & =\frac{22 \times 16}{7} cm^{3} \\ & =\frac{352}{7} cm^{3}=50.29 cm^{3} \text{ (approximately) } \end{aligned} $

~~ Sample Question 2: The radius of a sphere is increased by 10%. Prove that the volume will be increased by 33.1 % approximately.

Solution: The volume of a sphere $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

10 % $ \begin{aligned} \text{ increase in radius } & =10 \end{aligned} $ % r

$ \text{ Increased radius } =r+\frac{1}{10} r=\frac{11}{10} r $

The volume of the sphere now becomes

$ \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{3} \pi(\frac{11}{10} r)^{3} & =\frac{4}{3} \pi \times \frac{1331}{1000} r^{3} \\ & =\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 1.331 r^{3} \end{aligned} $

Increase in volume $=\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 1.331 r^{3}-\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

$=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}(1.331-1)=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \times .331$

Percentage increase in volume $=[\frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \times .331}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}} \times 100]=33.1$

STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

(A) Main Concepts and Results

Statistics

Meaning of ‘statistics’, Primary and secondary data, Raw/ungrouped data, Range of data, Grouped data-class intervals, Class marks, Presentation of data - frequency distribution table, Discrete frequency distribution and continuous frequency distribution.

  • Graphical representation of data :

(i) Bar graphs

(ii) Histograms of uniform width and of varying widths

(iii) Frequency polygons

  • Measures of Central tendency

(a) Mean

(i) Mean of raw data

$ \text{ Mean }=\bar{x}=\frac{x_1+x_2+\ldots+x_n}{n}=\frac{\sum _{i=1}^{n} x_i}{n} $

where $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ are $n$ observations.

(ii) Mean of ungrouped data

$ \bar{x}=\frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} $

where $f_i$ ’s are frequencies of $x_i$ ’s.

(b) Median

A median is the value of the observation which divides the data into two equal parts, when the data is arranged in ascending (or descending) order.

Calculation of Median

When the ungrouped data is arranged in ascending (or descending) order, the median of data is calculated as follows :

(i) When the number of observations ( $n$ ) is odd, the median is the value of the $(\frac{n+1}{2})^{\text{th }}$ observation.

(ii) When the number of observations $(n)$ is even, the median is the average or mean of the $(\frac{n}{2})^{\text{th }}$ and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{\text{th }}$ observations.

(c) Mode

The observation that occurs most frequently, i.e., the observation with maximum frequency is called mode. Mode of ungrouped data can be determined by observation/ inspection.

Probability

  • Random experiment or simply an experiment

  • Outcomes of an experiment

  • Meaning of a trial of an experiment

  • The experimental (or empirical) probability of an event E (denoted by $P(E)$ ) is given by

$ P(E)=\frac{\text{ Number of trials in which the event has happened }}{\text{ Total number of trials }} $

  • The probability of an event $E$ can be any number from 0 to 1 . It can also be 0 or 1 in some special cases.

is given to be 5 . Based on this information, is it correct to say that the mean of the data:

$10,12,10,2,18,8,12,6,12,10,8,10,12,16,4$

is 10 ? Give reason.

~~ Sample Question 2 : The following observations are arranged in ascending order : $26,29,42,53, x, x+2,70,75,82,93$

If the median is 65, find the value of $x$.

Solution: Number of observations $(n)=10$, which is even. Therefore, median is the mean of $(\frac{n}{2})^{\text{th }}$ and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{\text{th }}$ observation, i.e., $5^{\text{th }}$ and $6^{\text{th }}$ observation.

Here,

$ \begin{aligned} 5^{\text{th }} \text{ observation } & =x \\ 6^{\text{th }} \text{ observation } & =x+2 \\ \text{ Median } & =\frac{x+(x+2)}{2}=x+1 \end{aligned} $

Now, $\quad $ x+1 = 65 (Given)

Therefore, $\quad $ x=64

Thus, the value of $x$ is 64 .

~~ Sample Question 3 : Here is an extract from a mortality table.

Age (in years) Number of persons surviving out
of a sample of one million
60 16090
61 11490
62 8012
63 5448
64 3607
65 2320

(i) Based on this information, what is the probability of a person ‘aged 60’ of dying within a year?

(ii) What is the probability that a person ‘aged 61 ’ will live for 4 years?

Solution :

(i) We see that 16090 persons aged 60, (16090-11490), i.e., 4600 died before reaching their $61^{\text{st }}$ birthday.

Therefore, $P(a.$ person aged 60 die within a year) $=\frac{4600}{16090}=\frac{460}{1609}$

(ii) Number of persons aged 61 years $=11490$

Number of persons surviving for 4 years $=2320$

$P($ a person aged 61 will live for 4 years $)=\frac{2320}{11490}=\frac{232}{1149}$

(E) Long Answer Questions

~~ Sample Question 1: Following is the frequency distribution of total marks obtained by the students of different sections of Class VIII.

Marks $100-150$ $150-200$ $200-300$ $300-500$ $500-800$
Number of students 60 100 100 80 180

Draw a histogram for the distribution above.

Solution: In the given frequency distribution, the class intervals are not of equal width.

Therefore, we would make modifications in the lengths of the rectangles in the histogram so that the areas of rectangles are proportional to the frequencies. Thus, we have:

Marks Frequency Width of the class Length of the rectangle
$100-150$ 60 50 $\frac{50}{50} \times 60=60$
$150-200$ 100 50 $\frac{50}{50} \times 100=100$
$200-300$ 100 100 $\frac{50}{100} \times 100=50$
$300-500$ 80 200 $\frac{50}{200} \times 80=20$
$500-800$ 180 300 $\frac{50}{300} \times 180=30$

Now, we draw rectangles with lengths as given in the last column. The histogram of the data is given below :

(ii) False. Between 2 and 3, there is no integer.

(iii) False, because between any two rational numbers we can find infinitely many rational numbers.

(iv) True. $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}$ is of the form $\frac{p}{q}$ but $p$ and $q$ here are not integers.

(iv) $\frac{\sqrt{28}}{\sqrt{343}}=\frac{2}{7}$, which is a rational number.

(v) Irrational, $-\sqrt{0.4}=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{10}}$, which is the quotient of a rational and an irrational.

(vi) $\frac{\sqrt{12}}{\sqrt{75}}=\frac{2}{7}$, which is a rational number.

(vii) Rational, as decimal expansion is terminating.

(viii) $(1+\sqrt{5})-(4+\sqrt{5})=-3$, which is a rational number.
