1. We know that
HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers
306 × 657
⇒
LCM = = 22338

Thus, LCM (306,657) = 22338 (1)

3. Lines representing a1x + b1 y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2 y + c2 = 0 are coincident only when

a2 b2 c 2
For the given equations, we have

Also, it is given that ∠PST = ∠PRQ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), ∠PQR = ∠PRQ
⇒ ∠Q = ∠R
⇒         DPQR is an isosceles triangle. (1)
5. We know that
P
OP ⊥ AP. 4 cm
So, in DOPA, r
OA2 = OP2 + AP2 O 5 cm A
⇒ OP2 = OA2 – AP2 = 52 – 42 = 25 – 16 = 9
 2

⇒ OP = 9 = 3 cm.
Thus, the radius of the circle is 3 cm. (1)
6. x = 4 is a root of the given equation, 3x2 + px – 4 = 0
So, 3(4)2 + p (4) – 4 = 0
⇒
48 + 4p – 4 = 0
⇒
4p = – 44
⇒
p = – 11. (1)

SECTION ‘B’
7. The greater number which divides 70 and 125 leaving remainders of 5 and 8 respectively
is the HCF of 65(70 – 5) and 117(125 – 8)
By Euclid’s division lemma.
b = aq + r, 0 ≤ r < a
We have
117 = 65 × 1 + 52
65 = 52 × 1 + 13
52 = 13 × 4 + 0
So, HCF(65, 117) = 13.
Hence, 13 is the required greatest number. (2)
8. We have
6x2 – x – 2 = 6x2 + 3x – 4x – 2
= 3x (2x + 1) –2(2x + 1)
= (3x – 2) (2x + 1)
The roots of 6x2 – x – 2 = 0 are the value of x for which (3x – 2)(2x + 1) = 0
 3x – 2 = 0  or  2x + 1 = 0

i.e. x =   or  x = −

Thus, the roots of 6x – x – 2 = 0 are

cos A cos A

Hence, proved. (2)
10. We have 2x +y = 4
⇒ y = 4 – 2x
When x = 1, y = 4 – 2 × 1 = 4 – 2 = 2
When x = 0, y = 4 – 2 × 0 = 4 – 0 = 4
 3
Thus, we have the following table:
x 1 0
y 2 4
Plotting the points A (1,2) and B (0,4) on a graph paper and joining them, we get a line.
Now, on plotting the point (3,2) on the same graph paper
We find that this point does not lie on the straight line
Thus,
x = 3, y = 2 is not a solution of 2x + y = 4.

14. Let us assume, to the contrary, that 5 is a rational number

Then, there exists co-prime positive integers a and b such that:
a
5 = , (b ≠ 0)
b
So, a = 5 b
Squaring both sides, we have
a2 = 5b2...(i)
⇒ 5 divides a2  ⇒  5 divides a
So, we can write
a = 5c, where c is any integer
Putting the value of a = 5c in (i), we have
25c 2 = 5b2
⇒ 5c 2 = b2
It means 5 divides b2 and so 5 divides b.
So, 5 is a common factor of both a and b, which is a contradiction.
So, our assumption that 5 is rational is wrong.
Hence, we conclude that 5 is an irrational number. (3)

16. We need to find the HCF of (398 – 7), (436 – 11) and (542 – 15)
i.e., 391, 425 and 527.
First we shall find the HCF of 391 and 425.
Since 425 > 391, we shall start with 425 as dividend and 391 as divisor. We have
425 = 391 × 1 + 34
391 = 34 × 11 + 17
34 = 17 × 2 + 0
Thus, 17 is the HCF of 391 and 425
Now, we will find the HCF of 527 and 17.
527 = 17 × 31 + 0
Thus, 17 is the HCF of 527 and 17
Hence, the HCF of 391, 425 and 527 is 17
Thus, 17 is the required number. (3)

Either x – 25 = 0  or  x + 45 = 0
Since x ≠ 45, x = 25

⇒ x (x + 4) = 96
⇒ x + 4x – 96 = 0

⇒ x + 12x – 8x – 96 = 0

⇒ x (x + 12) –8 (x + 12) = 0
⇒ (x + 12) (x – 8) = 0
⇒ x = –12 or 8
But x = –12 is not possible (since the length stoned be +ve)
Therefore, x = 8 and hence, x + 4 = 12
Thus, the altitude is 8 cm and the base is 12 cm long.

        10, 13, 16, ..........., 97 ...(i)
It is clearly an AP with a = 10 and d = 3
Let 97 be its nth term. Then
a + (n – 1) = 97
⇒ 10 + 3(n – 1) = 97

Multiplying Eq. (i) by 12 (LCM of 6 and 4), we get

Multiplying Eq. (ii) by 4 (LCM of 4 and 2), we get
3x – 2(x – y) = 7
i.e. x + 2y = 7 ...(iv)
From Eq. (iv)
x = 7 – 2y...(v)
Substituting this value of x in Eq. (iii), we get
2 (7 – 2y) + 3y = 12

⇒ y = 2
From (v), we have
x = 3.
Thus, x = 3, y = 2 is the required solution

Either x – 6 = 0  or  x + 54 = 0

30. From DTAB, we have
h
= tan 45° = 1
TA
⇒ h = TA ...(i)
From DSAB, we have
h
= tan q
SA
B
⇒ SA = h cot q...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have h
p = TS = TA – SA
= h – h cot q 45° q
A
T←p→S
⇒ p = h (1 – cot q)
p p tan θ
⇒ h = =
1 − cot θ tan θ − 1

p tan θ
Thus, the height of the tower is . (4)
tan θ − 1
