Q) In the given figure, ∠ ADC = ∠ BCA, prove that Δ ACB ~ Δ ADC. Hence find if AC = 8 cm and AD = 3 cm. Ans: Ans: In Δ ACB and Δ ADC, ∠ ADC = ∠ BCA (given) ∠ A = ∠ A (common angle) Δ ACB ~ Δ
Q) From a solid cylinder of height 20 cm and diameter 12 cm, a conical cavity of height 8 cm and radius 6 cm is hallowed out. Find the total surface area of the remaining solid. Ans: Let’s draw the diagram to capture the shape: Total surface area of the cylinder: = curved surface area of
Q) Prove that √3 is an irrational number. Ans: Let us assume that √3 is a rational number Let √3 = ; where q ≠ 0 and let p, q are co-primes. 3q2 = p2………………. (i) It means p2 is divisible by 3 p is divisible by 3 Hence, we can write that p = 3a,
Q) Rohan repays his total loan of Rs.1,18,000 by paying every month starting with the first installment of Rs. 1,000. If he increases the installment by Rs. 100 every month, what amount will be paid by him in the 30th installment? What amount of loan has he paid after 30th installment? Ans: We can see
Q) The sum of first 15 terms of an A.P. is 750 and its first term is 15. Find its 20th term. Ans: Given that a = 15 and Sum of 15 terms of an A.P. S15 = 750 We know that sum of n terms of an A.P. Sn = (2a + (n-1) d)
