Q4. The vertices of a triangle are A(–1, 3), B(–2, 2) and C(3, –1). A new triangle is formed by shifting
the sides of the triangle by one unit inwards. Then the equation of the side of the new triangle
nearest to origin is :
(A) x  y  (2  2)  0 (B) x  y  (2  2)  0
(C) x  y  (2  2)  0 (D) x  y  (2  2)  0
Ans. A
Sol. Uliven, A (-1, 3)
B (-2, 2)
C (3, -1)
So, side AB  y = x + 4
side CA  y = -x + 2
side BC  5y = -3x + 4
origin lies outside of the triangle ABC

Sol. 2, p and q with q  2 in G.P
So, p2 = 2q ……(i)
Let first term = a
Common difference = d
So, t7 = a + 6d=2 …..(ii)
t8 = a+7d = p …..(iii)

From (i) and (v)
We have, p = 2 or p = 10
But if p = 2 then q = 2 :Rejected
When p = 10 we have q = 50

Sol. We know that,

Diagonal of square makes 45 angle with side let slope of diagonal = m
m 1
So, tan 45 
1 m
So, m = not defined and m = 0
So, diagonals : x = 5 and y = 3
This is passing through centre
Now, for x = 5
x 2  y 2  10x  6y  30  0 is
y 2  6y  5  0  y  1,5

Q24. In a survey of 220 students of a higher secondary school, it was found that at least 125 and at
most 130 students studied Mathematics; at least 85 and at most 95 studied Physics; at least 75
and at most 90 studied Chemistry; 30 studied both Physics and Chemistry; 50 studied both
Chemistry and Mathematics; 40 studied both Mathematics and Physics and 10 studied none of
these subjects. Let m and n respectively be the least and the most number of students who
studied all the three subjects. Then m + n is equal to_____.

n(MP) = 40
  d  e  f   3g  120
and a + b + c + d + e + f + g = 210
So, a + b + c = 90 + 2g
Now, 125  a + d + f + g  130
85  b + d + e + g  95
75  c + e + f + g  90
285   a  b  c   2  d  e  f   3g  315

15  g  45
but n  P  C   30

cqx = 0, bpz = 0 and ary = 0
So that at least one of aqz or brx or cpyis non-zero
