Q. 1 (A) 4
(1) line PQ || line RS
∴ x = 50° ........................ (Corresponding angle)
(2) ∆ ABC and ∆PQR are congruent by hypotenuse side test.
(3) In ∆ ABC, ∠A = 65°, ∠B = 40°
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°
∴ 650 + 400 + ∠C = 180°
∴ ∠ C = 180°-1050
∴ ∠C = 75°
(4) c PQRS is a parallelogram.
∴∠ P + ∠ Q = 180° ....... (Sum of measures of interior angles is 180°)

(1) Let breadth of the tank be x.
∴ Length of the tank = 2x.
Area of the walls of the tank = 2(length + breadth) × depth.
∴ 108 = 2(2x + x)× 3
∴ 108 = 18 x ∴ x = 6 ∴ 2x = 12

∴ Length of the tank = 12m.

(2) Diagonal of square = 20 cm.

Let side of square = x
∴ x2 + x2 = 202 ..................(By Pythagoras theorem)
∴ 2x2 = 400

 ∴ x2 = 200
∴ x = 10 2 cm.
Perimeter of square = 4 × 10 2 = 40 2
(i) Side of square = 10 2 cm.
(ii) Perimeter of square = 40 2 cm.

(3) In figure, PQ = 12, PR = 8

PQ2 = PR × PS ............ (Tangent secant theorem)
∴ 122 = 8 × PS
∴ 144 = 8 × PS
144
∴ PS =
8
∴ PS = 18
Q. 3 (A) 4
(1) From the figure,
(i) m(arc AXB) = 1100

(ii) m(arc CAB) = 1550
(iii) ∠COB = 1550
(iv) m(arc AYB) = 2500

(2) c ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

∴ ∠ ADC + ∠ ABC = 180°
∴ 120 + ∠ ABC = 180°
∴ ∠ABC = 60°
But ∠ ACB = 90° ................... (Angle in semicircle)
In ∆ ABC,
∠ BAC + ∠ ACB + ∠ ABC = 180°
∴ ∠ BAC + 90°+ 60° = 180°
∴ ∠ BAC + 150°   = 180°
∴ ∠ BAC    = 180°- 1500
∴ ∠ BAC    = 30°

(1) For barrel : Height = 50 cm, Radius of base = 20 cm
∴ Volume of barrel = πr²h = π × (20)2 × 50 = 400 × 50 × π
For mug : Height = 15 cm, Diameter of base = 10 cm
∴ Radius of Base = 5 cm
∴ Volume of mug = πr²h = π × (5)² × 15 = 25 × 15 × π
Volume of barrel 400  50   160 1
