25(a + b) = 50(a – b)
⇒ a + b = 2(a – b)
⇒ a + b = 2a – 2b
⇒ 2a – a = 2b + b
⇒ a = 3b
Now, a² + b² = 25(a + b)
⇒ (3b)² + b² = 25(3b + b)
⇒ 9b² + b² = 25 x 4b
⇒ 10b² = 100b
⇒ b² = 10b
⇒ b² – 10b = 0
⇒ b(b – 10) = 0
Either, b = 0 which is not possible

⇒ a² – 9a + 5a – 45 = 0
⇒ a(a – 9) + 5 (a – 9) = 0
⇒ (a – 9) (a + 5) = 0
Either, a – 9 = 0, then a = 9
or a + 5 = 0, then a = -5 which is not a natural number.
a = 9
and b² = 4a = 4 x 9 = 36 = (6)²
b = 6
Hence, numbers are 9, 6

⇒ 2x² – 8x + 11x – 44 = 0
⇒ 2x (x – 4) + 11 (x – 4) = 0
⇒ (x – 4) (2x + 11) = 0
Either, x – 4 = 0, then x = 4
or 2x + 11 = 0, then 2x = -11 ⇒ x = \(\frac { -11 }{ 2 }\)

and x + 10y = 2xy
Now, x + 10y = 4x + 4y
⇒ 10y – 4y = 4x – x
⇒ 3x = 6y
⇒ x = 2y …(i)
x + 10y = 2xy
⇒ 2y + 10y = 2 x 2y x y
⇒ 12y = 4y²
⇒ 3y = y²
⇒ y² – 3y = 0
⇒ y (y – 3) = 0
Either, y = 0, which is not possible,
or y – 3 = 0, then y = 3
x = 2y = 2 x 3 = 6
and number = x + 10y = 6 + 10 x 3 = 6 + 30 = 36

Solution:
Let the ones digit of a two digit number = x
and ten’s digit = y
Number = x + 10y
By reversing the digits,
the One’s digit = y
and ten’s digit = x
Number = y + 10x
According to the condition,
x + 10y + 45 = y + 10x
⇒ 10y – y + x – 10x = -45
9y – 9x = -45
⇒ x – y = 5
⇒ x = y + 5
and xy = 14
⇒ (y + 5) x y = 14
⇒ y² + 5y – 14 = 0
⇒ y² + 7y – 2y – 14 = 0
⇒ y (y + 7) – 2(y + 7) = 0
⇒ (y + 7)(y – 2) = 0
Either, y + 7 = 0, then x = -7 which is negative, so not possible.
or y – 2 = 0, then y = 2
x = y + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7

or k – 9 = 0, then k = 9
Hence, k = 9, -9

Question 5.
Solution:
The quadratic equation is
kx (x – 2√5) x + 10 = 0
kx² – 2√5 kx + 10 = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = k, b = -2√5 k, c = 10
D = b² – 4ac = (-2 k)² – 4 x k x 10 = 20k² – 40k
Roots are real and equal.
D = 0
20k² – 40k = 0
⇒ k² – 2k = 0
⇒ k (k – 2) = 0
Either, k = 0 or k – 2 = 0, then k = 2
k = 0, k = 2

Question 6.
Solution:
The quadratic equation is 4x² + px + 3 = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 4, b = p, c = 3
D = b² – 4ac = p² – 4 x 4 x 3 = p²- 48
Roots are real and equal.
D = 0
⇒ p² – 48 = 0
⇒ p² = 48 = (±4√3)²
⇒ P = ± 4√3
P = 4√3, p = -4√3

Question 7.
Solution:
The quadratic equation is 9x² – 3kx + k = 0
Comparing it with ax? + bx + c = 0
a = 9, b = -3k, c = k
D = b² – 4ac = (-3k)² – 4 x 9 x k = 9k² – 36k
Roots are real and equal.
D = 0
9k² – 36k = 0
⇒ 9k (k – 4) = 0
Either, k = 0 or k – 4 = 0, then k = 4
The value of k is non-zero.
k = 4

Question 8.
Solution:
(i) The equation is (3k + 1) x² + 2(k + 1) x + 1 = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = (3k + 1), b = 2(k + 1), c = 1
D = b² – 4 ac
= [2(k + 1)]² – 4(3k + 1) x 1
= 4k² + 4 + 8k – 12k – 4
= 4k² – 4k
= 4k (k – 1)
Roots are real and equal.
Either, k = 0 or k – 1 = 0, then k = 1
k = 0, k = 1
(ii) x² + k(2x + k – 1) + 2 = 0
⇒ x² + 2kx + (k² – k + 2) = 0
Here, a = 1, b = 2k, c = (k² – k + 2)
Discriminant (D) = b² – 4ac = (2k)² – 4 x 1 x (k² – k + 2)
= 4k² – 4k² + 4k – 8
= 4k – 8
Roots are real and equal.
D = 0
⇒ 4k – 8 = 0
⇒ k = 2
Hence, k = 2

Question 9.
Solution:

Question 10.
Solution:
The given quadratic equation is
(p + 1) x² – 6(p + 1) x + 3(p + 9) = 0, p ≠ -1

Question 11.
Solution:
-5 is a root of 2x² + px – 15 = 0
x = -5 will satisfy it
Now, substituting the value of x = -5
⇒ 2(-5)² + p(-5) – 15 = 0
⇒ 50 – 5p – 15 = 0
⇒ 35 – 5p = 0
⇒ 5p = 35
⇒ P = 7
In quadratic equation p(x² + x) + k = 0
⇒ 7 (x² + x) + k = 0 (p = 7)
⇒ 7x² + 7x + k = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 7, b = 7, c = k
D = b² – 4ac = (7)² – 4 x 7 x k
= 49 – 28k
Roots are real and equal.
49 – 28k = 0
⇒ 28k = 49
k = \(\frac { 49 }{ 28 }\) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 4 }\)

Question 12.
Solution:
3 is a root of equation x² – x + k = 0
It will satisfy it
Now, substituting the value of x = 3 in it
(3)² – (3) + k = 0
⇒ 9 – 3 + k = 0
⇒ 6 + k = 0
⇒ k = -6
Now in the equation, x² + k (2x + k + 2) + p = 0
x² + (-6)(2x – 6 + 2) + p = 0
⇒ x² – 12x + 36 – 12 + p = 0
⇒ x² – 12x + (24 + p) = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = -12, c = 24 + p
D = b² – 4ac
= (-12)² – 4 x 1 x (24 + p)
= 144 – 96 – 4p = 48 – 4p
Roots are real and equal.
D = 0
48 – 4p = 0
⇒ 4p = 48
⇒ p = 12
Hence, p = 12

Question 13.
Solution:
-4 is a root of the equation x² + 2x + 4p = 0
Then it will satisfy the equation
Now, substituting the value of x = -4
(-4)² + 2(-4) + 4p = 0
16 – 8 + 4p = 0
⇒ 8 + 4p = 0
⇒ 4p = -8
⇒ p = -2
In the quadratic equation x² + px (1 + 3k) + 7(3 + 2k) = 0
⇒ x² – 2x (1 + 3k) + 7(3 + 2k) = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = -2 (1 + 3k), c = 7 (3 + 2k)
D = b² – 4ac
= [-2(1 + 3k)]² – 4 x 1 x 7(3 + 2k)
= 4(1 + 9k² + 6k) – 28(3 + 2k)
= 4 + 36k² + 24k – 84 – 56k
= 36k² – 32k – 80
Roots are equal.
D = 0
⇒ 36k² – 32k – 80 = 0
⇒ 9k² – 8k – 20 = 0
⇒ 9k² – 18k + 10k – 20 = 0
⇒ 9k (k – 2) + 10(k – 2) = 0
⇒ (k – 2) (9k + 10) = 0
Either, k – 2 = 0, then k = 2
or 9k + 10 = 0, then 9k = -10 ⇒ k = \(\frac { -10 }{ 9 }\)
k = 2, k = \(\frac { -10 }{ 9 }\)

Solution:

Question 16.
Solution:
The quadratic equation is 2x² + px + 8 = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 2, b = p, c = 8
D = b² – 4ac = p² – 4 x 2 x 8 = p² – 64
Roots are real.
D ≥ 0
p² – 64 ≥ 0
⇒ p² ≥ 64 ≥ (±8)²
p ≥ 8 or p ≤ -8

Question 17.
Solution:

Roots are equal
D = 0
⇒ 4(α – 12) (α – 14) = 0
⇒ α – 14 = 0 {(α – 12) ≠ 0}
⇒ α = 14
Hence, α = 14

Question 18.
Solution:
9x² + 8kx + 16 = 0
Comparing it with ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 9, b = 8k, c = 16
D = b² – 4ac
= (8k)² – 4 x 9 x 16 = 64k² – 576
Roots are real and equal.
D = 0
64k² – 576 = 0
64k² = 576

Question 1.
Solution:
For the given triangle to be right-angled, the sum of the squares of the two smaller sides must be equal to the square of the largest side.
(i) 9 cm, 16 cm, 18 cm
Longest side = 18
Now (18)² = 324
and (9)² + (16)² = 81 + 256 = 337
324 ≠ 337
It is not a right triangle.
(ii) 1 cm, 24 cm, 25 cm
Here longest side = 25 cm
(25)² = 625
and (7)² x (24)² = 49 + 576 = 625
625 = 625
It is a right triangle
(iii) 1.4 cm, 4.8 cm, 5 cm
Here longest side = 5 cm
(5)² = 25
and (1.4)² + (4.8)² = 1.96 + 23.04 = 25.00 = 25
25 = 25
It is a right triangle
(iv) 1.6 cm, 3.8 cm, 4 cm
Here longest side = 4 cm
(4 )² = 16
and (1.6)² + (3.8)² = 2.56 + 14.44 = 17.00 = 17
16 ≠ 17
It is not a right triangle
(v) (a- 1) cm, 2√a cm, (a + 1) cm
Here longest side = (a + 1) cm
(a + 1)² = a² + 2a + 1
and (a – 1)² + (2 √a )² = a² – 2a + 1 + 4a = a² + 2a + 1
a² + 2a + 1 = a² + 2a + 1
It is a right triangle.

Question 2.
Solution:
A man goes 80 m from O to east side and reaches A, then he goes 150 m due north from A and reaches B.
Join OB.

In right ∆OAB,
OB² = OA²+² (Pythagoras Theorem) = (80)² + (150)² = 6400 + 22500 = 28900
⇒ OB = √28900 = 170

He is 170 m away from the starting point.

Question 3.
Solution:
A man goes 10 m due south from O and reaches A and then 24 m due west from A and reaches B.
Join OB.

Question 4.
Solution:
Length of a ladder = 13 m
Height of the window = 12 m
Distance between the foot of the ladder and building.
In the figures,

AB is ladder, A is window of building AC
AB² = AC² + BC² (Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ (13)² = (12)² + x²
⇒ 169 = 144 + x²
⇒ x² = 169 – 144 = 25 = (5)²
x = 5
Hence, distance between foot of ladder and building = 5 m.

Question 5.
Solution:
Let length of ladder AB = x m
Height of window AC = 20 m
and distance between the foot of the ladder and the building (BC) = 15 m

AB² = AC² + BC² (Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ x² = 20² + 15² = 400 + 225 = 625 = (25)²
x = 25
Length of ladder = 25 m

Question 6.
Solution:
Height of first pole AB = 9 m
and of second pole CD = 14 m

Let distance between their tops CA = x m
From A, draw AE || BD meeting CD at E.
Then EA = DB = 12 m CE = CD – ED = CD – AB = 14-9 = 5 m
In right ∆AEC,
AC² = AE² + CE² = 122 + 52 = 144 + 25 = 169 = (13)²
AC = 13
Distance between their tops = 13 m

Question 7.
Solution:
Height of the pole AB = 18 m
and length of wire AC = 24 m

Distance between the base of the pole and other end of the wire
BC = x m (suppose)
In right ∆ABC,
AC² = AB² + BC² (Pythagoras Theorem)
(24)² = (18)² + x²
⇒ 576 = 324 + x²
⇒ x² = 576 – 324 = 252

Question 8.

Solution:
In ∆PQR, O is a point in it such that
OP = 6 cm, OR = 8 cm and ∠POR = 90°
PQ = 24 cm, QR = 26 cm
To prove : ∆PQR is a right angled.
In ∆POR, ∠O = 90°
PR² = PO² + OR² = (6)² + (8)² = 36 + 64 = 100 = (10)²
PR = 10
Greatest side QR is 26 cm
QR² = (26)² = 676
and PQ² + PR² = (24)² + (10)² = 576 + 100 = 676
676 = 676
QR² = PQ² + PR²
∆PQR is a right angled triangle and right angle at P.

Question 9.
Solution:
In isosceles ∆ABC, AB = AC = 13 cm
AL is altitude from A to BC
and AL = 5 cm

Now, in right ∆ALB
AB² = AL² + BL²
(13)² = (5)² + BL²
⇒ 169 = 25 + BL²
⇒ BL² = 169 – 25 = 144 = (12)²
BL = 12 cm
L is mid point of BC
BC = 2 x BC = 2 x 12 = 24 cm

Question 10.
Solution:
In an isosceles ∆ABC in which
AB = AC = 2a units, BC = a units

Question 11.
Solution:
∆ABC is an equilateral triangle
and AB = BC = CA = 2a

AD ⊥ BC
D is mid point of BC
BD = DC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) BC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 2a = a
Now, in right ∆ADB,
AB² = AD² + BD² (Pythagoras Theorem)
(2a)² = AD² + a²
⇒ 4a² – a² = AD²
⇒ AD² = 3a² = (√3 a)²
AD = √3 a = a√3 units

Question 12.
Solution:
∆ABC is an equilateral triangle in which
AB = BC = CA = 12 cm

AD ⊥ BC which bisects BC at D
BD = DC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) BC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 12 = 6cm
Now, in right ∆ADB,
AB² = AD² + BD²
⇒ (12)² = AD² + (6)²
⇒ 144 = AD² + 36
AD² = 144 – 36 = 108
AD = √108 = √(36 x 3) = 6√3 cm

Question 13.
Solution:
Let ABCD is a rectangle in which adjacent sides.
AB = 30 cm and BC = 16 cm

AC is its diagonal.
In right ∆ABC,
AC² = AB² + BC² (Pythagoras Theorem)
= (30)² + (16)² = 900 + 256 = 1156 = (34)²
Diagonal AC = 34 cm

Question 14.
Solution:
ABCD is a rhombus
Its diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at O.

AO = OC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC.
and BO = OD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) BD
BD = 24 cm and AC = 10 cm
BO = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x BD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 24 = 12 cm
AO = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x AC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 10 = 5 cm
Now, in right ∆AOB,
AB² = AO² + BO² = (5)² + (12)² = 144 + 25 = 169 = (13)²
AB = 13
Hence, each side of rhombus = 13 cm

Question 15.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, AC > AB.
D is the mid point of BC and AE ⊥ BC.
AD is joined.

To prove: AB² = AD² – BC x DE + \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) BC2
Proof: In ∆AEB, ∠E = 90°
AB² = AE² + BE² …..(i) (Pythagoras Theorem)
In ∆AED, ∠E = 90°
AD² = AE² + DE²
⇒ AE² = AD² – DE² …..(ii)
Now, substitute eq. (ii) in eq. (i)
AB² = AE² + BE²
AB² = AD² – DE² + BE² [from (ii)]
AB² = (AD² – DE²) + (BD – DE)² [BE = BD – DE²]

Question 16.
Solution:

To prove :

Question 18.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, AB =AC
BC is produced to D and AD is joined.
To prove : (AD² – AC²) = BD x CD
Construction : Draw AE ⊥ BC.

Proof: In ∆ABC,
AB = AC and AE ⊥ BC
BE = EC
Now, in right ∆AED, ∠E = 90°
AD² = AE² + ED² …..(i)
and in right ∆AEC, ∠E = 90°
AC² = AE² + EC² …..(ii)
Now, subtracting (i) and (ii),
AD² – AC² = (AE² + ED²) – (AE² + EC²)
= AE² + ED² – AE² – EC²
= ED² – EC²
= (ED + EC) (ED – EC) (BE = EC proved above)
= BD x CD = BD x CD
AD² – AC² = BD x CD
Hence proved.

Question 19.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, AB = BC and ∠ABC = 90°
∆ACD and ∆ABE are similar to each other.

To prove : Ratio between area ∆ABE and area ∆ACD.
Proof: Let AB = BC = x

An aeroplane flies from airport to north at the speed of 1000 km/hr.
Another aeroplane flies from the airport to west at the speed of 1200 km/hr.
Period = 1\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) hours
Distance covered by the first plane in 1\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) hours = 1000 x \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 }\) km = 1500 km
and distance covered by another plane in 1\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) hours = 1200 x \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 }\) km = 1800 km
At present, the distance between them
AB² = (BO)² + (AO)²
= (1800)² + (1500)²
= 3240000 + 2250000
= 5490000

Solution:
(a) Length of ladder AB = 25 m .
Height above the ground = 24 m

Let its foot is x m away from the foot of building.
In right ∆ABC,
AB² = AC² + BC² (Pythagoras Theorem)
(25)² = (24)² + x²
⇒ 625 = 576 + x²
⇒ x² = 625 – 576 = 49 = (7)²
x = 7
Distance = 7 m

Question 7.
Solution:
(b) O is a point inside ∆MNP such that
MOP = 90°, OM = 16 cm, OP = 12 cm.
If MN = 21 cm ∠NMP = 90°, then NP = ?
Let MP = x Now, in right ∆MOP,
∠O = 90°
MP² = OM² + OP² (Pythagoras Theorem)
= (16)² + (12)² = 256 + 144 = 400 = (20)²
MP = 20 cm
Now, in right ∆MNP, ∠M = 90°

Let one side AB of the other two sides = x cm
then second side BC = (x + 5) cm
According to the Pythagoras Theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
(25)² = x² + (x + 5)²
625 = x² + x² + 10x + 25
⇒ 2x² + 10x + 25 – 625 = 0
⇒ 2x² + 10x – 600 = 0
⇒ x² + 5x – 300 = 0
⇒ x² + 20x – 15x – 300 = 0
⇒ x (x + 20) – 15 (x + 20) = 0
⇒ (x + 20)(x – 15) = 0
Either x + 20 = 0, then x = -20 which is not possible being negative,
or x – 15 = 0, then x = 15
First side = 15 cm
