IMPORTANT FORMULAS & CONCEPTS

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes, and this factorisation is
unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.

Prime and Composite numbers

A prime number is a number which has only two factors i.e. one and itself whereas the composite
number is a number which has more than two factors.

HCF and LCM of numbers

HCF is the highest common factor also known as GCD i.e. greatest common divisor.
LCM of two numbers is their least common multiple.
Property of HCF and LCM of two positive integers ‘a’ and ‘b’:
HCF (a, b)LCM (a, b) = a b

HCF and LCM by Prime factorization method

➢ HCF (a, b) = Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.

➢ LCM (a, b) = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor, involved in the numbers.

10 (√2 + √3 )2 is irrational as the result is 5 + √6 , which is irrational.
( 2- √2 ) (2 + √2 ) is rational as the result is 2, which is rational.
11 The difference of ( 3 + 2√3) and ( 3 - 2√3) is 4√3 which is irrational.
Dividing ( 3 + 2√3) by ( 3 - 2√3) we get -7 - 4√3 which is irrational.
12 Let on the contrary say it is rational .
Then
√𝑛=𝑝/𝑞, 𝑞≠0 where p and q are coprime integers.
so 𝑛=𝑝2𝑞2
𝑝2=𝑛𝑞2
This shows p divides q
which is a contradiction.
Hence √𝑛 is irrational if n is not a perfect square.
13 24 = 23 x 3
36 = 22 x 32
LCM = 23 x 32 = 8 x 9 = 72
After 72 minutes = 1 hr 12 minutes they toll together.
14 44 = 22 x 11

15 HCF = x
LCM = 14 x HCF = 14x
LCM + HCF = 600
14x + x = 500
15x = 600
x = 40
HCF = 40 and LCM = 14 x 40 = 560
Since, LCM x HCF = product of the numbers
560 x 40 = 280 x second number
Second number = 80
16 144 = 24 x 32
90 = 2 x 32 x 5
HCF = 2 x 32 = 18 cartons
17 398 – 7 = 391
436 – 11 = 425
542 – 15 = 527
391 = 17 x 23
425 = 52 x 17
527 = 17 x 31
HCF = 17
i.e., 17 is the largest number that will divide 398, 436 and 542
leaving remainders 7, 11 and 15 respectively.
18 70 – 5 = 65
125 – 8 = 117
65 = 5 x 13
117 = 32 x 13
HCF = 13
i.e., 13 is the largest number that will divide 65 and 117.
19 17 x 5 x 11 x 3 x 2 + 2 x 11 = 2 x 11 (17 x 5 x 3 + 1)
= 2 x 11 (255 + 1)
= 2 x 11 x 256
= 2 x 11 x 28
This number has more than 2 prime factors.
Therefore, 17 x 5 x 11 x 3 x 2 + 2 x 11 is a composite number.
20 No, two numbers cannot have 15 as their HCF and 175 as LCM because,
HCF of the numbers must be a factor of the LCM.
Therefore, LCM = k x HCF (k ∈ N)

Therefore 5 is a factor of p (1)
Let p=5c where c is some integer, then we have
𝑝2 =25𝑐 2
Substituting 𝑝2 =5𝑞 2
5𝑞 2 = 25𝑐 2
𝑞 2 =5𝑐 2 (1)
2
Thus 5 is a factor of 𝑞 and also 5 is also a factor of q
Thus 5 is a factor of both p and q .But this is a contradiction to the fact that p
and q are co primes (1)

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
A polynomial is an algebraic expression in which the exponent on any variable
is a wholenumber. / A polynomial is an algebraic expression with variables
having positive integralpowers only.
General Form:

Degree of a polynomial
• The highest power of x in p(x) is called the degree of the polynomial p(x).

Name of the polynomial Degree of the polynomial Example

Zero polynomial Not defined 0,5,-3…..

Linear polynomial 1 x-3

Quadratic polynomial 2 6x²-3y

Cubic polynomial 3 4x³+5y²-1

❖ Value of a polynomial:
If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and if k is any real number, then the value
obtained byreplacing x by k in p(x), is called the value of p(x) at x = k, and is
denoted by p(k).

Q. Find the value of the polynomial p(x) = x2 + 4x + 4 where x = 2.

Given polynomial: p(x) = x2 + 4x + 4.
Value of given polynomial when x = 2 and we get: p(2) = (2)2 + 4 (2) + 4
= 4 + 8 + 4 = 16
Hence the value of p(x) = x2 + 4x + 4, where x = 2, is 16

❖ Zero of a polynomial
A real number k is said to be a zero of a polynomial p(x), if p(k) = 0

What is the value of p(x) = x2 –3x – 4 at x = –1?

We have : p(–1) = (–1) 2 –{3 × (–1)} – 4 = 0
Also, note that p(4) = 42 – (3 × 4) – 4 = 0.
As p(–1) = 0 and p(4) = 0,
–1 and 4 are called the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 – 3x – 4.

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

An equation which can be put in the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers, and
a and b are not both zero (a2 + b2 ≠ 0), is called a linear equation in two variables x and y.
Each solution (x, y) of a linear equation in two variables, ax + by + c = 0, corresponds to a point
on the line representing the equation, and vice versa.
The general form of a pair of linear equations is
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0

Interpretation of the pairs of equations

Ratio comparison Graphical Algebraic Consistent/
representation interpretation Inconsistent
𝑎1 𝑏1 Intersecting lines Exactly one solution consistent
≠
𝑎2 𝑏2
(unique)

𝑎1 𝑏1 𝑐1 Coinciding lines Infinite solution dependent

= =
𝑎2 𝑏2 𝑐2 (consistent)

𝑎1 𝑏1 𝑐1 Parallel lines no solution Inconsistent

= ≠
𝑎2 𝑏2 𝑐2

Algebraic Methods:

➢ Substitution Method
Following are the steps to solve the pair of linear equations by substitution method:
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 … (i) and
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 … (ii)

MATHEMATICS / X / 2022 – 23

Step 1: We pick either of the equations and write one variable in terms of the other
Step 2: The expression obtained in Step1 should be substituted in the other equation to get a
linear equation in one variable
Step 3: Solve this equation and get the value of one variable
➢ Algebraic Methods:

a) Substitution Method
Following are the steps to solve the pair of linear equations by substitution method:
𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑏1 𝑦 + 𝑐1 = 0 … (𝑖) and
𝑎2 𝑥 + 𝑏2 𝑦 + 𝑐2 = 0 … (𝑖𝑖)
Step 1: We pick either of the equations and write one variable in terms of the other
Step 2: The expression obtained in Step1 should be substituted in the other equation to get a
linear equation in one variable
Step 3: Solve this equation and get the value of one variable
Step 4: Substitute this value in the equation obtained in Step 1 to obtain the value of the other
variable.

b) Elimination Method
Step 1: First multiply both the equations by some suitable non-zero constants to
make the coefficients of one variable (either x or y) numerically equal.
Step 2: Then add or subtract one equation from the other so that one variable gets eliminated.

If you get an equation in one variable, go to Step 3.

If in Step 2, we obtain a true statement involving no variable, then the original pair of
equations has infinitely many solutions.
If in Step 2, we obtain a false statement involving no variable, then the original pair of
equations has no solution, i.e., it is inconsistent.
Step 3: Solve the equation in one variable (x or y) so obtained to get its value.

Step 4: Substitute this value of x (or y) in either of the original equations to get the value of
the other variable.

According to the second condition, we get
x + 20 = 2(y - 20)
x+20=2y-40
x-2y= -40-20
⟹x−2y = −60−−−−−(ii)
Eqn (i) - Eqn (ii) we get,
x-y-x+2y=20+60
y=80
Substituting y=80 in eqn (i), we get x-80=20
x=100
Number of students in room A = 100

9 We know that the sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o
Thus, we have
∠C +∠A = 180
4y + 20− 4x = 180
− 4x + 4y = 160
x − y = − 40 ……………(1)
And, ∠B + ∠D = 180
3y − 5 − 7x + 5 = 180
− 7x + 3y = 180 ………..(2)
Multiplying
equation (1) by 3, we get
3x − 3y = − 120 ………(3)
Adding equation (2) to equation (3), we get
55
MATHEMATICS / X / 2022 – 23

− 7x + 3x = 180 – 120
− 4x = 60
x = −15
Substituting this value in equation (1), we get
x − y = − 40
-15 - y = − 40
y = 40-15
= 25
∠A = 4y + 20 = 4(25) + 20 = 120°
∠B = 3y − 5 = 3(25) - 5 = 70°
∠C = − 4x = − 4(− 15) = 60°
∠D = 5-7x
∠D= 5− 7(−15) = 110°

10 Let x km/hr be the speed of car from point A and

y km/hr be the speed of car from point B.
If the car travels in the same direction,
5x – 5y = 100
x – y = 20 …………………………………(i)
If the car travels in the opposite direction,
x + y = 100………………………………(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
2x=120
x = 60 km/hr
Substituting this in equation (i), we get,
60 – y = 20
y = 40 km/h
Therefore, the speed of car from point A = 60 km/hr
Speed of car from point B = 40 km/hr.

16 The given equations are
(a – b)x + (a + b) y = a2 – 2ab – b2
(a + b)(x + y) = a2 + b2
(a - b) x + (a + b) y = a2− 2ab − b2 …………… (i)
(x + y)(a + b) = a 2 + b2
(a + b) x + (a + b) y = a2 + b2 ………………… (ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
(a − b) x − (a + b) x = (a 2 − 2ab − b 2) − (a2 + b2)
x(a − b − a − b) = − 2ab − 2b2
− 2bx = − 2b (b + a)
x=b+a
Substituting this value in equation (i), we get
(a + b)(a − b) +y (a + b) = a2− 2ab – b2
a2 − b2 + y(a + b) = a2− 2ab – b2
(a + b) y = − 2ab

Let ABCD be rectangular lawn and EFGH be rectangular pond. Let x

mbe the width of grass area, which is same around the pond.
Given, Length of lawn = 50 m
Width of lawn = 40 m
Length of pond = (50 – 2x) m
Breadth of pond = (40 – 2x) m
Also given,
4. Area of grass surrounding the pond = 1184 m2
⇒ Area of rectangular lawn – Area of pond = 1184 m2
⇒ 50 × 40 – {(50 – 2x) × (40 – 2x)} = 1184
⇒ 2000 – (2000 – 80x – 100x + 4x2) = 1184
⇒ 2000 – 2000 + 180x – 4x2 = 1184
⇒ 4x2 – 180x + 1184 = 0
⇒ x2 – 45x + 296 = 0
⇒ x = 37 or x = 8
x = 37 is not possible (as length of pond will becomes 50–2×37=–24
which is not possible)
Hence, x = 8 is acceptable.
∴ Length of pond = 50 – 2 × 8 = 34 m
Breadth of pond= 40 – 2 × 8 = 24 m

5. In right DPQR, by Pythagoras theorem

⇒ x2 + 11x – 102 = 0
⇒ x2 + 17x – 6x – 102 = 0
(x – 6)(x + 17) = 0
Þ x = 6 or x – 17 (x can’t be negative) ½

1 The first term (a) = 27, The sum of first n terms (Sn) = 0 Common difference of the
A.P. (d) = a2 – a1 = 24 – 27 = -3. On substituting the values in Sn, we get 0 =
𝑛
[2(27) + (n − 1)( − 3)] , 0 = (n)[54 + (n – 1)(-3)] , 0 = (n)[54 – 3n + 3] ⟹
2
57
0 = n [57 – 3n] Further we have, n = 0 Or, 57 – 3n = 0 ⟹ 3n = 57 ⟹ n = 3 = 19.
The number of terms cannot be zero. Hence n=19
2 Let the three numbers of the AP be a-d, a, a+d. So a-d +a+a+d= 24 ⟹
24
3a=24,a= 3 =8. Hence the middle term =8.
3 11, 8, 5, 2, …-150, a = 11, d = 8- 11 = -3, an = -150, 11 + (n – 1) (-3) = -150, 11 –
164
3n + 3 = -150 , -3n + 14 = -150 , -3n = -150 – 14, -3n = -164, 3n = 164 ∴ n = 3 ,
Here value of ‘n’ is not a positive integer. Hence -150 is not a term of the given
AP
4 Given AP is -11,-7,-3,......,45
Here a = -11, d = -7- -11=-7+11=4 and last term l = 45
45 = (-11) + (n - 1)4, 56 = (n - 1)4 , n - 1 = 14, Therefore, n = 15
That is there are 15 terms. Hence 8th term is the middle most term of the given AP
a8 = a + 7d = (-11) + 7(4) = 17. Thus the middle term is 17
5 The Required A.P = 12, 15 ,18 .......... 99 ,First term (a) = 12, Last term = 99,
Common difference = 3, nth term = a+(n-1)d,. Putting the values in the formula:=>
87
99 = 12+(n-1)3, 99-12 = 3(n-1), 87 = 3(n-1), 3 = n-1, 29 = n-1, 29+1 = n, n = 30

771, 771 = 3 + (n - 1)12, 768 = (n - 1)12, (n - 1) = 64, n = 65, Therefore, the
65th term will be 132 more than the 54th term
8 a1=5, d=9-5=4, an=185, 185 = 5 + (n - 1)4, 185 = 5 + 4n -4,185 = 1 + 4n, 185 - 1 =

12 Sm= am2 + bm, S1= a+b= a1, S2= 4a+2b= a1+ a2

a2 = S2- S1= 4a+2b- (a+b) = 3a +b , d= a2-a1= 3a+b-(a+b)= 2a

15 a + 3d = 11….(1) a + 10d = 25…..(2)Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2 )

a + 10d – (a + 3d) = 25 – 11, 7d = 14, d = 2, Putting value of d=2 in the equation 2,
a + 10x2 = 25, a + 20 = 25, a = 25 – 20, a = 5

1 Let the first term, common difference of an AP are a and d, respectively.
According to the question,
a3 + a8 = 7 and a7 + a14 = −3
⇒ a + (3−1)d + a + (8−1)d=7 [∵ an=a + (n−1)d]
And a + (7 - 1)d + a + (14 - 1)d = - 3
a + 2d + a + 7d = 7
And a + 6d + a + 13d =-3
2a + 9d = 7 . . . . . . . (i)
And 2a + 19d = - 3 . . . . . .. (ii)
On subtracting eq. (i) from eq.(ii), we get;
10d = −10 ⇒ d = −1
2a + 9 (-1) = 7
⇒ 2a - 9 = 7
⇒ 2a = 16 ⇒ a = 8
∴ a 10 = a + (10−1)d
= 8 + 9(-1)

Given, an = An
⇒ a + (n - 1) d = A + ( n - 1) D
⇒63 + (n - 1) 2 = 3 + (n - 1) 7
⇒63 + 2n – 2 = 3 + 7n – 7

∠Q = ∠S = 25° (Given)
∆QPR ~ ∆STM
i.e., . ∆QPR is not similar to ∆TSM.

4 Since ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF

∴ ∠A = ∠D = 47°
∠B = ∠E = 63°
∴ ∠C = 180° – (∠A + ∠B) = 180° – (47° + 63°) = 70°
∴ Given statement is true.
5 ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF (Given)

6 AB2 = 2AC2 (Given)

AB2 = AC2 + AC2
AB2 = AC2 + BC2 (∵ AC = BC)
Hence AB is the hypotenuse and ∆ABC is a right angle A.
So, ∠C = 90°

1 Let AB denote the lamp-post and CD the girl

after walking for 4 seconds away from the lamp-
post. DE is the shadow of the girl. Let DE be x
metres.
Now, BD = 1.2 m × 4 = 4.8 m.
Note that in Δ ABE and Δ CDE, ∠ B = ∠ D
(Each is of 90° because lamp-post as well as the
girl are standing vertical to the ground) and ∠ E =
∠ E (Same angle) So, Δ ABE ~ Δ CDE (AA

Therefore, BE / DE = AB/ CD i.e., 4.8 + x/ x = 3.6 /0.9 (90 cm = 90/ 100 m =
0.9 m) i.e., 4.8 + x =4x i.e., 3x = 4.8 i.e., x = 1.6 So, the shadow of the girl after

SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY

HEIGHTS AND DISTANCES: Trigonometry is used for finding the heights and distances of
various objects, without measuring them.
Line of sight is the line drawn from the eye of the observer to the point on the object viewed by the
observer.
Horizontal level is the horizontal line through the eye of the observer.
ANGLE OF ELEVATION
The angle of elevation is relevant for objects above horizontal level.
It is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal level.

ANGLE OF DEPRESSION
The angle of depression is relevant for objects below horizontal level.
It is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal level.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:

In this right triangle ∠B = 90°. If we take ∠A as acute angle, then -

AB is the base, as the side adjacent to the acute angle.
BC is the perpendicular, as the side opposite to the acute angle.
AC is the hypotenuse, as the side opposite to the right angle.

1. Consider the circle with centre at O

PQ & RS are two parallel tangents to it touching at A and B respectively.
Join OA and OB
Now OA perpendicular to PQ (∴ radius is perpendicular to tangent)
and OB perpendicular to RS
∴OA∥OB
But OA and OB pass through O
∴AB is straight line through centre
∴AB is a diameter

2. <OCD= 900 (∵ radius is perpendicular to tangent at the point of contact)

<OCA +<ACD = 900
<OAC + < ACD = 900 (∵ OC = OA , <OCA=<OAC)
<BAC + < ACD = 900

3. AS = AP ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(i) (Length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal)
DS=DR……………..(ii)
CQ=CR…………….. (iii)
BQ=BP………………(iv)
Adding (i), (ii) ,(iii) and (iv) we get
AS + DS+ CQ + BQ = AP + DR + CR + BP
AD +BC = AB + CD

4.

Let AB be a diameter of the circle. Two tangents PQ and RS are drawn at points A and B
respectively.

Radius drawn to these tangents will be perpendicular to the tangents.

Thus, OA ⊥ PQ and OB ⊥ RS

∠OAP = 90º

∠OAQ = 90º

∠OBR = 90º

∠OBS = 90º

It can be observed that

∠OAP = ∠OBS (Alternate interior angles)

∠OAQ = ∠OBR (Alternate interior angles)

Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel.

5.

OP = 4 cm, OB = 5 cm

We know that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.

In right triangle OPB,

OB2 = OP2 + PB2
(5)2 = (4)2 + PB2
PB2 = 25 - 16 = 9
PB = 3 cm
We know that perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisect the chord.
AB = 2PB = 6 cm

In ΔOAP and ΔOBP,

OP = OP (Common)
∠OAP = ∠OBP (90°) (Radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact)
OA = OB (Radius of the circle)
∴ ΔOAP is congruent to ΔOBP (RHS criterion)
∠OPA = ∠OPB = 120°/2 = 60° (CPCT)
In ΔOAP,
Cos ∠OPA = cos 60° = AP/OP
Therefore, 1/2 =AP/OP

174
MATHEMATICS / X / 2022 – 23

Thus, OP = 2AP
Hence, proved.

7. AB= AC (given)

ie AE +BE = AG + GC

BE = GC (Length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal)

BF = CF ( ∵ BE = BF and GC = CF)

8. Let AD= x cm
BD = 12 – x
BE = 12 – x
CE = 8 – (12 – x)
CE = x – 4 …….. (i)
AF = x
CF = 10 – x --------(ii)
From (i) and (ii) , we get
x- 4 = 10-x
x = 7 cm
AD = 7 cm
BE = 5cm
CF = 3cm

9. OPBQ is a square

Let AQ = x

So BQ = 29 -x , BP = 29 – x

AQ = AR = x , DR = DS = 23-x

i.e. 23-x = 5 gives x = 18 units

Radius of the circle = 29-x = 29-18 = 11cm

10. PE = CE = EQ (lengths of tangents from an external point to a circle are equal)

175
MATHEMATICS / X / 2022 – 23

GF= CF = FH

Therefore, CF bisects PQ and GH

11. AQ = AB +BQ = AB + BP

AR = C R+ AC = CP + AC

AQ + AR = AB + BP + CP + AC

2AQ = AB + BC + AC

AQ = ½ (perimeter of triangle ABC)

12. (x+2 )2= (x + 1)2 +(x -6)2

x2 – 14x +33 = 0
(x – 11) (x-3) = 0
x= 11
so OT = 5 units ,TP = 12 units , OP = 13 units
13. BP=BQ= 10cm
AQ = AQ = 8cm
CR = CP = x – 8 cm
x-8 = 6cm
there fore x = 14cm

⇒∠PAB=∠PBA
Hence proved.

Given, BOA is a diameter of a circle

∠OPT = 90°, ∠BPA = 90°

∠PBA + ∠PAB + ∠BPA = 180°

From the figure,

∠PBA = 30°

179
MATHEMATICS / X / 2022 – 23

30° + ∠PAB + 90° = 180°

120° + ∠PAB = 180°

∠PAB = 180° - 120°

∠PAB = 60°

We know that ∠PAB = ∠OAP = 60°

From the figure,

OP = OA = OB = radius

In triangle OPA,

∠OPA = ∠OAP

Also, ∠OPT = ∠OPA + ∠APT

90° = 60° + ∠APT

∠APT = 90° - 60°

∠APT = 30°

Therefore, the measure of angle APT is equal to 30°

12. Joint OT.

Let it meet PQ at the point R.
Then ΔTPQ is isosceles and TO is the angle bisector of ∠PTO.
[∵TP=TQ= Tangents from T upon the circle]

15.Given ABCD be a parallelogram circumscribing a circle with centre O.
To Prove : ABCD is a rhombus.

We know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an exterior point are equal is length.
∴ AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS.
AP+BP+CR+DR = AS+BQ+CQ+DS
(AP+BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS+DS) + (BQ+CQ)
∴ AB+CD=AD+BC

MATHEMATICS / X / 2022 – 23

or 2AB=2AD (since AB=DC and AD=BC of parallelogram ABCD)

∴ AB=BC=DC=AD
Therefore, ABCD is a rhombus.

MCQ and CCT Questions
Summary
Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Area of a circle = πr2 [where r is the radius of a circle]

Area of a semi-circle = 𝜋𝑟2 / 2

Area of a circular path or ring:

Let ‘R’ and ‘r’ be the radii of two circles

Then area of shaded part = πR2 – πr2 = π(R2 – r2) = π(R + r)(R – r)

Minor arc and Major Arc: An arc length is called a major arc if the arc length enclosed by the
two radii is greater than a semi-circle.

If the arc subtends angle ‘θ’ at the centre, then the

𝜃 𝜃
Length of minor arc = 360 × 2πr = 180 × πr

PROBABILITY

Probability is the study of the chances of events happening. By means of probability,

the chance of the events is measured by a number lying from 0 to 1.

Experiment: An operation which produces some well-defined outcomes, is called an

experiment. Eg. Tossing a coin, throwing a dice etc.

If an experiment is repeated under identical conditions and they do not produce the
same outcomes every time, then it is said to be a Random experiment.

An event of an experiment is the collection of some outcomes of the experiment,

generally denoted by E. Eg. Getting an odd number in a single throw of die is an
event. This case there are three outcomes 1,3 and 5

Elementary event: An event having only one outcome of the random experiment is
called an elementary event. Eg. Tossing a coin and getting H or T is an elementary
event

Probability of an event : If E is an event associated with a random experiment , then

probability of event E, denoted by P(E) represents the chance of occurrence of event
E.
Eg. If E denotes the event of getting an odd number in a single throw of die, then P(E)
represents the chance of occurrence of event E, i.e, the chance of getting 1,3 or 5

Compound event: The collection of two or more elementary events associated with
an experiment is called a compound event. Eg. In the random experiment of tossing a
die, if we define the event “getting a multiple of 3” .Then the event has two outcomes
3 and 6 and hence is a compound event.

Impossible event: An event which does not occur at all when an experiment is
performed is called an impossible event. Eg. “Event of getting 7 on a die” when a die
is tossed, is an impossible event.

Sure event: The event which always occurs when the experiment is carried out is
called a sure event. Eg. If we toss a die, the total outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5,6. Let the
event be “the number on the die is less than 7” then E is 1,2,3,4,5,6 and hence always
occurs and is a sure event.
Equally likely outcomes: Two or more outcomes are said to be equally likely
outcomes if each outcome has the same chance of appearing as any other. Eg. If we

224
MATHEMATICS / X / 2022 – 23

toss a coin, the two outcomes i.e, H or T are equally likely to appear, so they are
equally likely outcomes.
Formula for finding probability: The probability of an event E is denoted by P(E) and
is
defined as

𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑬

P (E ) =
𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕

The numerator in the definition of P(E) is always less than or equal to denominator of
P(E)

• 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1
• For an impossible event P(E) = 0
• For sure event P(E) = 1
• Probability of an event cannot be negative
• The sum of probabilities of all the elementary events of an experiment = 1

Complement of an event / Negation of an event: If E is an event associated with a

random experiment, then if we delete the outcomes in event E from total outcomes,
then the event of collection of remaining outcomes is called complement event of
‘event E’ and is denoted by Ē
• E and Ē are complementary events
• P(E) + P(Ē) = 1

A pack of (or deck) of playing cards consists of four suits called Diamonds, Hearts,
clubs and Spades. Each suit consists of 13 cards totaling 52 in all – 26 of red colour
and 26 of black colour. Diamonds and Hearts are red cards whereas Clubs and Spades
are black cards. Each suit contains an Ace, King, Queen and Jack ,2 3 , 4, 5, 6, 7 ,8,
9and,10. The Kings, Queens and Jacks are called face cards (there are 3 face cards in
each suit). Thus, there are 12 face cards in all in a pack. Nine cards of each suit are
numbered from 2 to 10.

There are 4 honour cards of each suit (Ace, King, Queen and Jack). In total there are
16 honour cards

26 Let us assume 5 + 2√3 is rational, then it must be in the form of p/q where p and 1 q are co-prime
integers and q ≠ 0 i.e 5 + 2√3 = p/q

……………………(i)

Since p, q, 5 and 2 are integers and q ≠ 0, HS of equation (i) is rational. But

LHS of (i) is √3 which is irrational. This is not possible.

This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 5 + 2√3 is rational.

So, 5 + 2√3 is irrational.

27 Let α and β be the zeros of the polynomial 2x2 -5x -3

Then α + β = 5/2

And αβ = -3/2.

Let 2α and 2β be the zeros x2 + px +q

Then 2α + 2β = -p

2(α + β) = -p

2 x 5/2 =-p

So p = -5
And 2α x 2β = q

Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr and let the actual time taken be y hour

Distance covered is xy km

If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced by 4 hours i.e., when speed is (x+6)km/hr,
time of journey is (y−4) hours.

∴ Distance covered =(x+6)(y−4)

⇒xy=(x+6)(y−4)

⇒−4x+6y−24=0

⇒−2x+3y−12=0 …………………………….(i)

Similarly xy=(x−6)(y+6)

⇒6x−6y−36=0

Since AB=DC and AD=BC (opposite sides of parallelogram

Let us assume to the contrary, that √5 is rational. Then we can find a and b ( ≠ 0) such that √5 = 𝑎
(assuming that a and b are co-primes).
1
𝑏So, a = √5 b ⇒ a2 = 5b2
Here 5 is a prime number that divides a2 then 5 divides a also
(Using the theorem, if a is a prime number and if a divides p2, then a divides p, where a is a positive
½
integer)
Thus 5 is a factor of a
Since 5 is a factor of a, we can write a = 5c (where c is a constant). Substituting a = 5c We get (5c)2 =
5b2 ⇒ 5c2 = b2 ½
This means 5 divides b2 so 5 divides b also (Using the theorem, if a is a prime number and if a divides
p2, then a divides p, where a is a positive integer).
Hence a and b have at least 5 as a common factor.
½
But this contradicts the fact that a and b are coprime. This is the contradiction to our assumption that p
and q are co-primes.
So, √5 is not a rational number. Therefore, the √5 is irrational.

⇒ 2x – 3 = 0 & 3x + 1 = 0
x = 3/2 & x = -1/3 Hence, the zeros of the quadratic polynomials are 3/2 and -1/3. ½
For verification
Sum of zeros = – coefficient of x ⇒ 3/2 + (-1/3) = – (-7) / 6 ⇒ 7/6 = 7/6

As per given data, time taken by the express train to cover 132 km is 1 hour less than the passenger
train to cover the same distance. Therefore,
132 − 132 = 1
𝑥 𝑥+11
⇒ 132 (𝑥+11−𝑥) = 1 ⇒ 132 𝑥 11 = 1
𝑥 (𝑥+11) 𝑥 (𝑥+11)
⇒ 132 × 11 = x(x + 11) ⇒ x2 + 11x – 1452 = 0

⇒ x (x + 44) -33(x + 44) = 0 ⇒ (x + 44)(x – 33) = 0
⇒ x = – 44, 33
As the speed cannot be negative, the speed of the passenger train will be 33 km/h and the speed of the
express train will be 33 + 11 = 44 km/h.
