A11. For three numbers to be Pythagorean triplet, they should be expressible as
(2𝑚, 𝑚2 − 1, 𝑚2 + 1)
Let 𝑚 = 3, then 2𝑚 = 2 × 3 = 6 , 𝑚2 − 1 = 32 − 1 = 8, 𝑚2 + 1 = 32 + 1 = 10
So, (6, 8, 10) is a Pythagorean triplet.
A12. (i) 4(𝑥 + 3) − 2(𝑥 − 1) = 3𝑥 + 3
⟹
4𝑥 + 12 − 2𝑥 + 2 = 3𝑥 + 3
⟹
4𝑥 − 2𝑥 − 3𝑥 = 3 − 12 − 2
⟹
−𝑥 = −11
⟹ 𝑥 = 11
(ii) 0.26𝑥 + 0.09𝑥 = 8 − 0.45𝑥

0.26𝑥 + 0.09𝑥 + 0.45𝑥 = 8

Length of each side of the field = √160000 m = 400 m
Perimeter of the field = (4 × 400) m = 1600 m

OR
Prime factors of 6292
6292 = 2 × 2 × 11 × 11 × 13 = 22 × 112 × 13
Thus, 6292 cannot be expressed as a product of pairs of equal factors.
Hence, 6292 is not a perfect square.

We observe here that (74)2 < 5607 < (75)2
The required number to be added = (75)2 − 5607 = 5625 − 5607 = 18
Therefore, the required perfect square = 5607 + 18 = 5625
Hence, √5625 = 75.
A21. First writing 968 and 1375 as a product of prime factors, we have
968 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 × 11
1375 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 11

Let 𝑟 be the radius of its base.

A31. First we draw a rough sketch of the quadrilateral ABCD, and write down its
dimensions as shown.
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw BC = 6 cm.
(ii) Construct ∠𝐵𝐶𝐷 = 60𝑂 and cut off CD = 6 cm.
(iii) Construct ∠𝐶𝐷𝐴 = 75𝑂 and cut off DA = 4 cm.
(iv) Join AB.
Then ABCD is the required quadrilateral.

(i) Since diagonal BD bisects ∠ ABC, therefore
∠ABC = 2 ∠ OBC = 2 × 20𝑜 = 40𝑜
(ii) We know that the diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles
∠ DOC = 90𝑜
∠ DOC = 180𝑜 − (∠𝐷𝑂𝐶 + ∠ 𝑂𝐶𝐷)
= 180𝑜 − (90𝑜 + 35𝑜 ) = 180𝑜 − 125𝑜 = 55𝑜
As diagonal BD bisects ∠ ADC, so ∠ ADC = 2 ∠ ODC = 2× 55𝑜 = 110𝑜
(iii) In ∆ OBC, ∠OCB = 180𝑜 − (∠𝐵𝑂𝐶 + ∠ 𝑂𝐵𝐶)
= 180𝑜 − (90𝑜 + 20𝑜 ) = 180𝑜 − 110𝑜 = 70𝑜
∴ ∠ BCD = ∠ OCB + ∠ OCD = 70𝑜 + 35𝑜 = 105𝑜
⟹
∠ BAD = 105𝑜
[By property of a kite, ∠ BAD = ∠ BCD]

Adding these, area of the field = (300 + 1200 + 600 + 750 + 750) m2 = 3600 m2.
A33. External dimensions are 14 cm, 9.5 cm, and 6 cm. Thickness of wood = 7.5 mm.
To get the internal dimensions, subtract double the thickness from each external
dimension.
∴
Internal length = 14 cm – 15 mm = 14 cm – 1.5 cm = 12.5 cm
Internal breadth = 9.5 cm – 1.5 cm = 8 cm,

Internal height = 6 cm – 1.5 mm = 4.5 cm
External volume of the box = (14 × 9.5 × 6) cm3 = 798 cm3
Internal volume of the box = (12.5 × 8 × 4.5) cm3 = 450 cm3
∴
Volume of wood = External volume – Internal volume
= 798 cm3 – 450 cm3 = 348 cm3
A34. Given- OA = OC; OB = OD; ∠ AOB = ∠ COB = 90𝑜
Proof- In ∆’s OAB and ODC
⟹
∠OAB = ∠ OCD
[Where, 𝐴𝐵 ∥ 𝐶𝐷, alternate angles]
∠OBA = ∠ ODC
[Where, 𝐴𝐵 ∥ 𝐶𝐷, alternate angles]
AB = CD
[Opposite sides of a rhombus]
∆𝑂𝐴𝐵 ≅ ∆𝑂𝐷𝐶
[From Angle-Side-Angle]
OA = OC, OB = OD
[By c.p.c.t.]
Again in triangles OAB and OBC
OA = OC

OB = OB

AB = BC
[Sides of a rhombus]
∆𝑂𝐴𝐵 ≅ ∆𝑂𝐵𝐶
[From Side-Side-Side]
⟹
∠ AOB = ∠ COB
[By c.p.c.t.]
But
∠ AOB + ∠ COB = 180𝑜
[Linear Pair]
∴
∠ AOB = ∠ COB = 90𝑜
