is given as below (b) two equal real roots
(c) no real roots
(d) more than 2 real roots
Ans : (c) no real roots

Given equation is, 2x2 − 5x + 1 = 0

On comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0 ,

(b) A white bead and a black bead are added to box

B and then a bead is taken from it. What is the
probability of getting a white bead from it ?
Ans :
Total number of beads in box A = 9W + 8B = 17
Total number of beads in box B = 7W + 8B = 15
(a) P (white bead from box A) = 9

No. of white beads in box B = 7W + 1W = 8W
In TDEF, we have No. of black beads in box B = 8B + 1B = 9B
` Total number of beads in box B = 8W + 9B = 17

and a8 − a5 = 6
5m + 3 for some integer m . [3] ^a + 7d h − ^a + 4d h = 6
Ans : 3d = 6
Let a be any positive integer, then by Euclid’s division d =2
algorithm a can be written as Substituting this value of d in equation (1), we get
a = bq + r , 0 # r < b and q ! ω a + 2 ^2 h = 9
Take b = 5 , then 0 # r < 5 because 0 # r < b a =5
Thus a = 5q, 5q + 1, 5q + 2, 5q + 3 and 5q + 4, So, A.P. is 5, 7, 9, 11, ...
Now a2 = (5q) 2 = 25q2 = 5 (5q2) = 5m or
a2 = (5q + 1) 2 = 25q2 + 10q + 1 = 5m + 1

elimination method. [4] As per given condition we have drawn the figure below.
(a) x + y = 5 and 2x − 3y = 4 Here F, E and D are the mid-points of AB, AC and
BC respectively.
(b) 3x + 4y = 10 and 2x − 2y = 2
(c) 3x − 5y − 4 = 0 and 9x = 2y + 7
Ans :

(a) We have, x+y = 5 ...(1)

and 2x − 3y = 4 ...(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 3 and adding in (2) we
have
3 ^x + y h + ^2x − 3y h = 3 # 5 + 4
or, 3x + 3y + 2x − 3y = 15 + 4
Hence, FE | | BC, DE | | AB and DF | | AC
5x = 19 & x = 19
5 By mid-point theorem,

Substituting x = 19 in equation (1), If DE || BA then DE || BF

and if FE || BC then FE || BD
19 + y = 5 Therefore FEDB is a parallelogram in which DF is
5 diagonal and a diagonal of Parallelogram divides it
y = 5 − 19 = 25 − 19 = 6 into two equal Areas.

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and adding in (1), Adding equation (1), (2), (3) and (4), we have

In TABC , AD is the median, therefore or, A + B − C = 30º ...(1)

By SSS similarity we have
Now A + B + C = 180º
TABD ~TPQM
A + B + C = 180º
By CPST we have
A + C = 180c − 37.5c = 142.5º ...(4)
+B = +Q,
Adding equation (3) and (4), we have
In TABC and TPQR,
2A = 135º
AB = BC
PQ QR or, A = 67.5º
By SAS similarity we have and, C = 75º
+B = +Q, Hence, +A = 67.5º, +B = 37.5º, +C = 75º
Thus TABC ~TPQR. Hence Proved. 39. Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD , the co-

As per question the quadrilateral is shown below.

Area of triangle ABD

Δ ABD = 1 − 3 ^8h + 5 ^− 6h + − 5 ^2 − 4h

= 22 sq. units
Area of triangle BCD
Δ BCD = 1 5 ^− 2h + 7 ^− 8h − 5 ^10h

= 58 sq. units
Area ABCD = Δ ABD + Δ BCD
