DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE……

It is with profound delight and utmost pride that we present the Competency
Based Assessment question bank for CLASS 9 which was prepared by
TGT(Mathematics) of the feeder regions during the 03 – day workshop on
“Competency Based Assessment in Mathematics: Design of test items” It’s
my firm belief that access to quality education should know no boundaries,
transcending social and economic constraints. Our collective vision is to
empower all students and teachers with the tools for success and intellectual
growth.
With their steadfast dedication, the TGT(Mathematics) from the feeder Regions
namely Bangalore, Chennai, Ernakulam and Hyderabad have invested their
knowledge and expertise in preparation of the CBA test items.
It is with pleasure that I place on record my commendation for the commitment
and dedication of the team of TGT(Mathematics) from the four Regions, Shri.

Q10. (c) is Correct
Because, 𝑧 3 + 125 = (𝑧)3 + (5)3
We know that
(𝑎)3 + (𝑏)3 = (𝑎 + 𝑏)[𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 − 𝑎𝑏]
(𝑧)3 + (5)3 = (𝑧 + 5)[𝑧 2 + 52 − 𝑧 × 5]
𝑧 3 + 125 = (𝑧 + 5)[𝑧 2 − 5𝑧 + 25]
So, Assertion is correct
but,
𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 = (𝑥 + 𝑦)3 + 3𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦) is wrong.
Because know that
(𝑥 + 𝑦)3 = 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 + 3𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦)
ஃ 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 = (𝑥 + 𝑦)3 − 3𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦)
Q11. (a) is correct.
 Because,
if (x – 1) is a factor of polynomial
𝑃(𝑥) = 4𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 − 6
Then by factor theorem,
On substituting x=1 in P(x),
P(1) should be equals to 0.
Let us check
𝑃(1) = 4(1)3 − 3(1)2 + 5(1) − 6
𝑃(1) = 4 − 3 + 5 − 6
𝑃(1) = 9 − 9
𝑃(1) = 0
ஃ(x-1) is a factor of given P(x) and when we divide P(x) by (x-1), it is remainder as
0(zero)
Q12. (d) is correct.
Because, The number of zeros in given polynomial 𝑃(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 4) is
only 3.and we know that the number of zeros of polynomial is the degree of that
polynomial
ஃ The degree of given polynomial will be 3 not 4.
Q13. (a) is correct
Because, polynomial (x+1) has degree = 1
ஃ i+ is a linear polynomial.
We know that,
The number of x the number of degree of polynomial is the number of zeros of that
polynomial.
ஃ Linear polynomials have one zero.

Q14. Given 𝑥𝑦 = 6 and 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 12

Taking squares on both sides of equation
(3𝑥 = 2𝑦)2 = 122 (1)
 by using identity (𝑎 + 𝑏)2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 + 2𝑎𝑏
here 𝑎 = 3𝑥 and 𝑏 = 2𝑦
ஃEquation (1) becomes as follows

(3𝑥)2 + (2𝑦)2 + 2.3𝑥. 2𝑦 = 144

9𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 + 12𝑥𝑦 = 144
𝑥𝑦 = 6 given
9𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 + 12.6 = 144
9𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 + 72 = 144
9𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 = 144 − 72
9𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 = 72
Hence, the value of 9𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 is 72.
Q15. The given polynomial is
𝑃(𝑥) = 5𝑥 − 4𝑥 2 + 3
At 𝑥 = 2
𝑃(2) = 5(2) − 4(2)2 + 3
𝑃(2) = 10 − 16 + 3
𝑃(2) = −3
At 𝑥 = −1
𝑃(−1) = 5(−1) − 4(−1)2 + 3
𝑃(−1) = −5 − 4 + 3
𝑃(−1) = −9 + 3
𝑃(−1) = −6
Hence , The value of polynomial 5𝑥 − 4𝑥 2 + 3 at 𝑥 = 2 is -3 and at 𝑥 = −1 is -6
Q.16. If y + 3 is a factor of 3y2 + ky + 6 by using factor theorem ⟶

Sol 20 : Coordinate of P = (√13 , 0) and Q = (0,0)

So, OP = √13 and PQ = 7 (given)

Using Pythagoras property
(OP)2 + (OQ)2 = (PQ)2

(√13)2 + (OQ)2 = (7)2

13 + (OQ)2 = 49
(OQ)2 = 49 – 13

OQ = √36
OQ = 6
So, the coordinates of Q is ( 0, 6) because Q lies on y-axis.
Sol 21 : coordinates of Q = (0,5) and R = (0,-5)
 Length of side QR = ordinate of Q – ordinate of R

Now, we have PQ = 10 , OQ = 5 , OP = ?
Using Pythagoras property
(OP)2 + (OQ)2 = (PQ)2
(OP)2 + (5)2 = (10)2
(OP)2 + 25 = 100
(OP)2 = 100 - 25

OQ = √75 = √5 𝑥 5 𝑥 3

∴ the equation 𝑐 = 9
5𝑥86−160
𝑐= 9
430−160
𝑐= 9
270
𝑐= 9

C = 30°
∴ the Temperature in Celsius is 30°
(ii)because the Celsius temperature = 35°
by equation
5𝑓−160
35 = 9

⇒ 35x9=5f-160
⇒ 315=5f-160
⇒ 5f=315+160
⇒ 5f=475
475
⇒ f= 5

f = 95°
∴ the temperature in Fahrenheit is 95°F
(ii) ∴ If temperature = 0oC by the equation
5𝐹−160
o= 9

⇒ o = 5F – 160
∴ 5F = 160

⇒ F= 5

F = 32o
Again if temp. is 0oF by equation -

∴ If temp. is 0oF then in Celsius = -17.7oC

iv) Let the temp. which is same in both the scale is = xo
by the equation
5𝑥 −160
X= 9

⇒ 9x = 5x – 160
⇒ 9x – 5x = -160
⇒ 4x = -160
160
⇒ X= 4

⇒ X = 40
Hence, -40o is the temperature which is same in both the scales
Q.25. Let the first number = x
∴ the second number will be = 5x
ATQ, -
2 (x + 21) = (5x + 21)
⇒ 2x + y2 = 5x+21
⇒ 5x – 2x = y2-21
⇒ 3x = 21
⇒ x = 7
∴ the First number is = 7 and the second number is 5 x 7 = 35.
Q.26. Let the participant who does not win = x
∴ the participant who win = 63 – x
because total number of participants = 63
ATQ,
Total prize win by winners = 100 (63 – x)
Total prize obtained by who does not win 25(x)
∴ The total prize money distributed = 3000
∴ 25x + 100 (63 – x) = 3000
⇒ 25x + 6300 – 100x = 3000
⇒ -75x = 3000 – 6300
⇒ -75x = 3300
3300
x= 75

x = 44
∴ The total number of winners = 63 – 44
= 19

Q.27. Let Vasanta contributed = Rs. x

and Vishwajith contributed Rs. y
ATQ –
x + y = 200
⇒ x + y – 200 = 0
Q2B. ∴ Vasanta contributed Rs. 76
∴ by Linear equation
⇒ 76 + y = 200
⇒ y = 200 – 76
y = 124 Rs.
Hence, Vishwajith contributed Rs. 124
Q.29. If both contributed equally
∴x=y
by Linear equation ⇒ x + x = 200
⇒ 2x = 200
⇒ x = Rs. 100
Therefore, if both contributed equally, then each contributed Rs. 100.
Q.30. x = -5
⇒ x + 0 = -5
⇒x + 0. y = -5
⇒x + 0.y + 5 = 0
This is the standard form ax + by + c = 0 for Linear equation in two variable.
Q.31. given equation is
2x – 3y – y = 0
For the First solution –
Let x = 0
2 x 0 – 3y - 4 = 0
⇒ -3y = 4

⇒ y=3
For the second solution –
Let y = 0
⇒2x – 3x0 – y = 0
⇒2x – y = 0
⇒2x = y
⇒x = 2

12: Ans. Given, ∠ 1 = ∠ 2 and ∠ 3 = ∠4.
Using Euclid’s second axiom, if equals are added to equals, then the wholes are equal.
Now, ∠ 1 + ∠ 3 = ∠ 2 + ∠4
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠DBC
13: Ans. Given, AC = XD, C is the midpoint of AB and D is the mid-point of XY.
As C is the midpoint of AB,
∴ AB = 2AC
As D is the midpoint of XY,
∴ XY = 2XD
From Euclid’s axiom, things that are double of same things are equal to one another
Hence, AB = XY
14: Ans. We have AC = DC ...(i) [Given]
And CB = CE ...(ii) [Given]
Now, by axiom 2, if equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.
Adding eqs. (i) and eqs. (ii).
We get AC + CB = DC + CE
Hence, AB = DE
15: Ans. Given: AB = BC ...(i)
and AP = CQ ...(ii)
According to Euclid’s axiom, if equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
Therefore, on subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
AB – AP = BC – CQ (Given AP = CQ)
BP = BQ
16: A point has no part.
A line has breathless length. It can be extended in both directions.
3 MARKS QUESTIONS
17: PR = 1/2PT
PS = ½ PT (∵ R and S are mid-points according to assumption)
⇒ PR = PS (∵ Things which are equal to the same things are equal to one another)
But this is possible only if R and S coincide.
Hence our assumption is wrong. Thus every segment has one and only one midpoint.
18: (a) If x + y = 10, then x + y + z = 10 + z. Euclid’s which axiom illustrates this statement?
(b) Solve the equation a – 30 = 40 and state which axiom you used here.
Ans. (a) Euclid’s second axiom; If equals are added to equals, then the wholes are equal
(Additional property of equality).
Here, we can see that x + y = 10
Then we are adding an equal quantity, i.e., z to both
x + y + z = 10 + z
(b) a – 30 = 40
⇒ a = 40 + 30 ⇒ a = 70
Euclid’s second axiom is used here.
19: Ans. Given, ∠ 3 = ∠ 4 or ∠ 4 = ∠ 3 ...(1)
and ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB
∴ ∠ 1 + ∠ 4 = ∠ 2 + ∠ 3 ...(2)
Using Euclid’s third axiom, if equals are subtracted from equals, then remainders are equal.
On subtracting eq. (1) from eq. (2), we get
∠1+∠4-∠4=∠2+∠3-∠3
∴∠1=∠2
Sides opposite to equal angles are equal.
∴ BD = DC
20: (i) The above statement is False
Reason: If we draw a point O on the surface of a paper. Utilizing pencil and scale, we can
draw an infinite number of straight lines passing
(ii) The above statement is False
Reason: In the following figure, multiple straight lines pass through P. There are numerous
lines, passing through Q. But there is one line which is passing through P and Q.
(iii)The above statement is True
Reason: Postulate 2 says, “A terminated line can be produced indefinitely.”
21: Yes, we need to know the words like point, line, ray, angle, plane, circle and quadrilateral,
etc., before describing the necessary words.
Descriptions of the necessary words are given below:
(i) The parallel lines:
The two lines l and m in a plane are expressed as parallel if they have no common point, and
we note them as l ॥ m.The distance between the lines always remains the same.

(ii) The perpendicular lines:

The two lines, p and q, lying in the same plane, are expressed to be perpendicular if they
intersect each other at right angle, and we note them as p ⊥ q.
(iii)The line Segment:
A required line segment is a part of a line and has a definite length. It has two endpoints. In
the figure, a line segment has endpoints A and B. It cannot be extended.
5 MARKS QUESTIONS
22: Ans. (a) Given, ∠1 = ∠3, ∠2 = ∠4
According to the Euclid’s second axiom, if equals are added to equals, then the wholes are
equal.
Add ∠1 = ∠3 and ∠2 = ∠4
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 + ∠4
⇒ ∠A = ∠C
Therefore, ∠A = ∠C.
(b) Ritish + Arun = 10 ... (i)
and Arun = Aditya
From Euclid’s second axiom, when equals are added to equals, the wholes will be equal.
So, on adding Ritish on both sides of Arun and Aditya we get,
Arun + Ritish = Aditya + Ritish
From eq. (i), 10 = Aditya + Ritish
∴ Aditya + Ritish = 10
23:Yes, these postulates have undefined terms such as ‘Point and Line. Furthermore, these
postulates are consistent because they deal with two different situations as
(i) states that required two points A and B, there is a point C on the line between them.
Whereas
(ii) states that, given points A and B, you can take point C, not lying on the line through
points A and B.
No, these postulates do not obey Euclid’s postulates. Nevertheless, they abide by the axiom,
“Given two distinct points, there is a unique line that passes through them.”

are equal to the one another.
(b) We have, Deepak and Rohit distribute equal amounts.
Since, Deepak contributes ₹30,000, so Rohit also contribute ₹30,000.
(c) It is given, PR = QS
From the given figure, we get,
PR = PQ + QR
and QS = QR + RS
∴ PQ + QR = QR + RS ...(i)
[Given: PR = QS]
Subtract QR from both sides of the equation (i), we get,
PQ + QR – QR = QR + RS – QR
PQ = RS
25: Ans. (a) According to the question, We have, a + b = 10 ...(i)
and a = c ...(ii)
Applying Euclid's axiom, if equals are added to equals, the whole are equal. We get,
From eqs. (i) and (ii)
a + b = c + b ...(iii)
From eqs. (i) and (iii), c + b = 10
(b) Let, each store have x stamps. Now, after Rahul bought 3 stamps, store left with (x – 3)
stamps.
(c) y + 12 – 12 = 15 – 12

= 90⁰ (½)
19. From the figure, angle
∠ROS = ∠QOS- ∠ROQ
∠ROS= ∠QOS - 90⁰ (OR ⊥ QO)....(I) (1)
Also, ∠ROS = ∠ROP- ∠POS
or, ∠ROS =90⁰ - ∠POS (OR ⊥ PQ)....(II) (1)
Adding (I) and (II),
a∠ROS+ ∠ROS= ∠QOS - 90⁰ + 90⁰ - ∠POS
2∠ROS = ∠QOS - ∠POS
∠ROS = ½ (∠QOS - ∠POS). (1)

20. Given: Two lines AB and CD, intersecting at a point O. (½)

To prove: ∠AOD = ∠BOC and ∠AOC = ∠BOD (½)
 Proof: ∠AOD + ∠AOC=180⁰ ( Linear pair)...(I) and ∠AOC+ ∠BOC = 180⁰ (Linear
pair).....(II) (1)
So, from (1) and (2), we have:
∠AOD = ∠AOC (½)
Also, ∠AOD+ ∠BOD = 180⁰ (Linear pair)....(III) So, from (1) and (3),
∠AOD + ∠AOC= ∠AOD+ ∠BOD
i.e. ∠AOC = ∠BOD (½)
Hence proved

21. ∠BOD = ∠AOC (vertically opposite angles) (½)

∠BOD = 40⁰ (given)
∠AOC = 40⁰
∠AOC+ ∠BOE = 70⁰ (given)
40⁰ + ∠BOE = 70⁰
∠BOE = 70⁰ - 40⁰ = 30⁰. (1)
But, ∠DOB + ∠BOE+ ∠EOC = 180⁰ (Angles formed on a straight line)
40⁰ +30⁰ + ∠EOC = 180⁰
∠EOC = 180⁰ - 40⁰ - 30⁰ = 110⁰. (1)
Reflex ∠EOC = 360⁰ - 110⁰= 250⁰. (½)

22.Let y = 3k and z = 7k
Also, AB II CD and CD || EF
SO, AB || EF
So, x = z (Alternate interior angles) (½)
x = 7k
Also, x + y = 180⁰(Interior angles on same side of transversal)
7k + 3k = 180⁰. (½)
k = 18⁰. (½)
So, x = 7 x 18⁰ = 126⁰ (½)
y = 3 x 18⁰ = 54⁰ (½)
z = 126⁰. (½)

and, ∠YMC = 180⁰ - 120⁰ = 60⁰ (Interior angles on the same side of the transversal)
(1)

So, ∠XMY= ∠XMC+ ∠YMC = 50⁰ + 60⁰ = 110⁰ (1)

So, x - 20⁰ = 360⁰ - 110⁰ = 250⁰

So, ∠PQT+ (∠QTM + ∠MTS) + ∠RST = 180⁰ + 180⁰ = 360⁰. (1)

Or, ∠PQT+ ∠QTS+b∠RST = 360⁰. (1)

25. EF || CD and EC is a transversal (½)

∠BCE = 20⁰. (1½)

 CASE BASED QUESTIONS (4 MARKS EACH)
26. Solution:
Finding the values of x:
Since the angles on one side of the intersection are supplementary (sum up to 180°):
2x+3x=180°. (1)
Solving for x:
5x=180°⟹x=36°
Thus, x = 36°. (1)
Finding the measures of the vertically opposite angles:
The vertically opposite angles are 2x and 3x.
Substitute x = 36°:
2x=2(36°)=72°
3x=3(36°)=108⁰. (1)
Proving the other pair of opposite angles are equal:
Vertically opposite angles are always equal.
Thus, the other pair of opposite angles would also be 72° and 108° (due to the
symmetry of vertical angles). (1)
27. Solutions:
The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180∘. Therefore:
2x+x+3x−10∘+20∘−30∘=180∘
6x−20∘ =180∘. (1)
6x = 200⁰
x = 33.33⁰. (1)
Substituting the value of 𝑥
into the expressions for the angles:
∠A = 56.66⁰
∠B = 53.33⁰
∠C = 69.99⁰. (1)
Since all angles are less than 90⁰, the triangle is acute. (1)
28. Finding x:
 x + 60⁰ = 180⁰.
x = 120⁰. (1)
Finding y:
Draw a line From G parallel to AB or CD
y = 50⁰ + 60⁰ (alternate interior angles)
y = 110⁰
Finding reflex ∠EGF:
ref ∠EGF = 360⁰ - 110⁰
= 250⁰. (1)
29.Finding angle between PQ and CD:
to make CD parallel to AB,
PQ will be transversal lines
angle between PQ and CD = ∠PMB = 70⁰ (corresponding angles)
Or 180⁰- 70⁰ = 110⁰ (if we measure angle towards left). (2)
Finding x:
x = 180⁰ - 70⁰. (Linear pair of angles)
= 110⁰. (1)
Finding y:
y = 180⁰ - x = 180⁰ - 110⁰ = 70⁰. (Co-interior angles are supplementary). (1)

25.Given: ABCD and PQRC are rectangles and Q is the mid-point of AC.

To prove :(i) DP=PC (ii) PR =1/2AC

Construction: Join diagonals AC which passes through Q and join PR.

Proof: (I) In ∆ACD

Q is the mid-point of AC and QP ∥ AD (sides of rectangle)

∴P is mid-point of CD

∴DP=PC

× ∴ PR =QC

But Q is the mid -point of AC

Hence PR=2AC.

26. PS=QR ( opp sides of ∥gm) , PB=AR (∵ ½ PS= ½ QR)

∴ PARB is a ∥gm, ∴ PA ∥ BR

∴ SC = CD. ∵ D is mid pt of QC ∴ QD=CD

Thus, SC=CD=QP. QS=12 cm

Ans: Given:ABCD is a square. P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of sides AB, BC, CD and
DA respectively.
Join AC, PR and SQ. In ABC, P and Q are mid-points of side AB and BC
respectively.
1
PQ || AC and PQ = 2 AC ...(i) (By mid-point theorem)

Similarly, in ∆ADC, S and R are mid-points of sides AD and DC respectively.

1
RS || AC and RS = 2 AC ...(ii) (By mid-point theorem)

From (i) and (ii), we get PQ || RS and PQ = RS.

Similarly, we can prove that RQ || PS and PS = RQ PQRS is a parallelogram.
...(iii)
In ∆PBQ and ∆QCR
BQ = QC (Q is mid-point of BC)
∠ B =∠ C = 90° (Each angle of square is 90°)
BP = CR (Halves of equal sides of square)
PBQ ≅ QCR (SAS congruence rule)
PQ = QR (CPCT) ...(iv)
From (iii) and (iv), we get
PQRS is a rhombus ...(v) (If adjacent sides of parallelogram are equal, then it is a
rhombus)
Also, PBCR is a rectangle.
(As CR || PB, CR = PB and B = C = 90°) PR = BC
Similarly, DCQS is a rectangle. (As CQ || DS, CQ = DS and CD = QS
Now, BC and CD are equal (Equal sides of square)
PR = QS But these are diagonals of rhombus PQRS.
If diagonals of rhombus are equal, then it is a square. PQRS is a square.

Solution 13. As given AB = CD
∴ ∠AOB = ∠COD
Since, equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre
Solution 14. PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠P + ∠R = 180°
Also ∠P - ∠R = 50°
⇒ 2∠P = 230°
⇒ ∠P = 115°
Solution15. The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at
any point on the remaining part of the circle
1
∴ ∠ABC = 2 ∠AOC

i.e., ∠AOC = 2∠ABC = 2 × 45° = 90°

or OA ⊥ OC
Solution 16. ΔABC is an equilateral triangle
∴ ∠BAC = 60°
Also, ∠BDC = 60° [angles in the same segment are equal]
 Now ABEC is a cyclic quadrilateral and ∠BAC = 60°
∴ ∠BEC = 180° - 60° = 120°
Solution 17. Given , OD ┴ AB
∴ OD bisect AB or, D is the mid - point of AB
[The perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to a chord bisects the chord]
Also O is the centre
∴ OC = OB or, O is the mid - point of BC
Now by using Mid-point theorem
OD = ½ CA
Or CA = 2 OD

Solution 18. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

∴ ∠DAB +∠ DCB = 180°

Or ∠ DCB = 85°

As BE ∥ DC

∴ ∠EBC = ∠ DCB = 85° [ Alternate pair ]

Now ABF is a straight line

∴ ∠ABC =180° - (85° + 20°) = 75°

Thus ∠ADC =180° - ∠ABC = 105° [ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral]

Solution 19. Since the points A, C, D and E lie on the circle

ACDE is a cyclic quadrilateral

We know that the sum of opposite angles of a cyclic

quadrilateral is 180 degrees.

∠ACD + ∠AED = 180° ----------------- (1)

AB is the diameter of the circle

We know that the angle subtended by a diameter to the

circle is a right angle

 So, ∠AEB = 90° ------------------------- (2)

Adding (1) and (2),

∠ACD + ∠AED + ∠AEB = 180° + 90°

From the figure,

∠BED = ∠AED + ∠AEB

Therefore, ∠ACD + ∠BED = 270°

Solution 20. In triangle AEC

∠AEC = 75° [angle sum property]

Now ABDE is a cyclic quadrilateral

∴ ∠a = 105°

Now in triangle ABF

∠b = 13°

ABDE is a cyclic quadrilateral and BDF is straight line

∠c = 62°

Solution 21 Consider the chord CD,

As we know, angles in the same segment are equal.

So, ∠CBD = ∠CAD

∴ ∠CAD = 70°

Now, ∠BAD will be equal to the sum of angles BAC and

CAD.

So, ∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30° + 70°

∴ ∠BAD = 100°

As we know, the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum up to 180 degrees.

So,
 ∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°

Since, ∠BAD = 100°

So, ∠BCD = 80°

Now consider the ΔABC.

Here, it is given that AB = BC

Also, ∠BCA = ∠CAB (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle)

∠BCA = 30°

also, ∠BCD = 80°

∠BCA + ∠ACD = 80°

So, ∠ACD = 50° and, ∠ECD = 50°

Solution 22. ∠ACB = ∠ADB (Angles in same segment)

∠z = 2∠ACB
⇒ ∠z = ∠ACB + ∠ADB
∠y = ∠ACB + ∠CAD
⇒ ∠z = ∠y – ∠DAC + ∠ADB
But, ∠ADB – ∠DAC = ∠x
⇒ ∠x + ∠y = ∠z

Solution 23. Here, ABC is inscribed in a circle with canter O and the bisectors of ∠A, ∠B

and ∠C intersect the circumcircle at D, E and F respectively.

Now, join DE, EF and FD

As angles in the same segment are equal, so,

∠FDA = ∠FCA ————-(i)

∠EDA = ∠EBA ————-(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii) we have,

∠FDA + ∠EDA = ∠FCA + ∠EBA

 Or, ∠FDE = ∠FCA + ∠EBA = (½)∠C + (½)∠B

We know, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

So, ∠FDE = (½)[∠C + ∠B] = (½)[180° – ∠A]

⇒ ∠FDE = [90 – (∠A/2)]

In a similar way,

∠FED = [90 – (∠B/2)]

And, ∠EFD = [90 – (∠C/2)]

Solution 24. In ∆AMO OA2 = OM2 + AM2

⇒ = r 2 – p2 (OM ┴ AB)

(AB) 2 = 4r2 – 4P2

Similarly, AC2 = 4r2 – 4q2

AB2 = 4AC2 ( ∵ AB = 2AC)

⇒ 4r2 – 4p2 = 4(4r2 – 4q2 )

⇒ 4q2 = p2 + 3r2

Solution 25. ∠EOC = 180° – 30° – 90° = 60°

∠COD =180° – 60° – 90° = 30°

∠COB = 2∠CBD

2y = 30°

⇒ y = 15°

Similarly, ∠ABC = 1/ 2 ∠AOC

⇒ ∠ABC = 1 /2 (90° + 30°)

⇒ ∠ABC = 60°

Now ∠ACD = 1/2∠AOD = 60°

⇒ ∠CBA = 60°

Hence ∠CAB = 30° (Angle sum property)

OR

iii) Yes, only in the case of rectangle and square. (or any other relevant answer)

Solution 28. i) As the perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to a chord bisects the
chord.

CA = AP ⇒ CP = 2AP
 ii) BP = BD ⇒ PD = 2 PB

iii) As ∠BPO = ∠ABO′ = 90°

ABOO′ is a rectangle

Thus AB = OO′ = AP + PB

Also CD = 2 AP + 2 PB = 2 [AP + PB] Thus CD = 2OO′

OR

iii) Any relevant answer.

Solution 29. i) ∠QPR = 90° [angle in the semicircle]

ii) Longest chord of the circle is diameter

. ∴ Diameter QR = 10m

iii) Area of triangular carpet = ½ base x height

= ½ PR x PQ = ½ x 6 x 8 = 24m2

OR
iii) No, as angle in the semicircle is always 90° whereas for an equilateral triangle all
angle should be 60°.
Solution 30. i) Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) subtend equal angles at the
centre,
∴ ∠COD = 120°

ii) AO is radius ∴ AO = 13m

iii) Distance between mango tree A and Ashoka tree C = AC

In ∆APO, AP2 = AO2 – OP2

AP2 = 132 – 52 = 144 = 122 ∴ AP = 12

Or AC = 2 AP = 24m

As the perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to a chord bisects the chord.

OR

iii) Area of ∆AOB = ½ AB x height = ½ 10 x 4 = 20m

𝑏 2 = 12.5 × 2 = 25
b=5cm h=5cm

hypotenuse=√𝑏 2 + ℎ2 =√52 + 52 =√25 + 25=√50=5√2cm

16. s- a = 150 m
s-b = 100 m
s- c = 20 m we know a+b+c = 2s…….(i)
s-a+s-b +s-c = 150+100+20
3s –(a+b+c) = 270
3s – 2s = 270 ( from eq 1) S = 270 Now s -a = 150 270- a = 150
a = 120 m Similarly b = 170 m & c=250m
17. a, b and c are the sides of the triangle respectively.
So the sides of the new triangle become 2a, 2b and 2c.
Now as we know that the perimeter of the triangle is the sum of all sides.
Therefore (s = a + b + c)
And the new perimeter becomes,
S’ = (2a + 2b + 2c) = 2(a + b + c) = 2s.
So the new area (A’) of the triangle becomes

⇒A′=√2𝑠(2𝑠 − 2𝑎)(2𝑠 − 2𝑏)(2𝑠 − 2𝑐)

Now simplify it we have,
⇒A′=√16𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐)16
 =4√𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐)
Now from equation (1) new area of the triangle becomes,
⇒A′=4A⇒A′=4A
So the increase in area is the subtraction of new area and previous area.
Therefore increase in area = A’ – A
= 4A – A = 3A.

3𝐴
Therefore the percentage increase in area = 𝐴 ×100=300 %.
So the percentage increase in the area of a triangle if each side is doubled is 300%.
So this is the required answer.

23. Solution: According to the question,

The perimeter of the isosceles triangle = 32 cm

It is also given that,

Ratio of equal side to base = 3 : 2

Let the equal side = 3x

So, base = 2x

Perimeter of the triangle = 32

3x + 3x + 2x = 32

8x = 32

x = 4.

Equal side = 3x = 3×4 = 12

Base = 2x = 2×4 = 8

The sides of the triangle = 12cm, 12cm and 8cm.

Let a = 12, b = 12, c = 8

s = (a + b + c)/2
 ⇒ s = (12 + 12 + 8)/2

= 32/2 = 16.

Area of the triangle = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

= √(16(16-12)(16-12)(16-8))

= √(16×4×4×8)

= 32√2 cm2

24.First, draw a line segment BE parallel to the line AD. Then, from B, draw a perpendicular
on the line segment CD.

Now, it can be seen that the quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram. So,

AB = ED = 10 m
AD = BE = 13 m
EC = 25 – ED = 25 – 10 = 15 m
Now, consider the triangle BEC,
Its semi perimeter (s) = (13+ 14 + 15)/2 = 21 m

By using Heron’s formula,

Area of ΔBEC =

= 84 m2
We also know that the area of ΔBEC = (½) × CE × BF
84 cm2 = (½) × 15 × BF
=> BF = (168/15) cm = 11.2 cm
 So, the total area of ABED will be BF × DE, i.e. 11.2 × 10 = 112 m2
∴ Area of the field = 84 + 112 = 196 m2

25. According to the figure,

AC = BD = 44cm
AO = 44/2 = 22cm
BO = 44/2 = 22cm
From ΔAOB,
AB2 = AO2 + BO2
⇒ AB2 = 222 + 222
⇒ AB2 = 2 × 222
⇒ AB = 22√2 cm
Area of square = (Side)2
= (22√2)2
= 968 cm2
Area of each triangle (I, II, III, IV) = Area of square /4
= 968 /4
= 242 cm2
To find area of lower triangle,
Let a = 20, b = 20, c = 14
s = (a + b + c)/2
⇒ s = (20 + 20 + 14)/2 = 54/2 = 27.
Area of the triangle = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]
= √[27(27-20)(27-20)(27-14)]
= √[27×7×7×13]= 131.14 cm2
Therefore,
We get,
Area of Red = Area of IV= 242 cm2
Area of Yellow = Area of I + Area of II
= 242 + 242
= 484 cm2
Area of Green = Area of III + Area of the lower triangle
= 242 + 131.14
= 373.14 cm2

21.The mean weight of 34 students = 46.5

Sum of the weight of 34 students = (46.5 X 34) = 1581

Change or increase in the mean weight when the weight of a new boy is added = 0.5

So, the new mean = (46.5 +0.5) = 47

So, let the weight of the new boy be y.

So, (sum of weight of 34 students + weight of new boy) ÷ 35 = 47

(1581+ y)÷ 35 = 47

1581 + y = 1645

y = 1645 – 1581 = 64
