2. A tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point on the ground, which is 15 m away from the foot of the
tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is found to be 60c. Find the height of the tower.
3. Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the
angle subtended by the line segment joining the points of contact at the centre.
4. The circumference of the edge of a hemisphere bowl is 132 cm. When π is taken as 22

of the class?
Section B
7. An isosceles triangle ABC , with AB = AC , circumscribes a circle, touching BC at P , AC at Q and AB at R .
Prove that the contact point P bisects BC .
8. The volume of a right circular cylinder with its height equal to the radius is 25 71 cm3 . Find the height of the
cylinder. ^Use π = 227 h

Find the modal marks.
O
The mode of a distribution is 55 and the modal class is 45-60 and the frequency preceding the modal class is 5 and
the frequency after the modal class is 10. Find the frequency of the modal class.
Section C
11. How many terms of the Arithmetic Progression 45, 39, 33, ... must be taken so that their sum is 180? Explain the
double answer.
12. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. From a point P , 7 cm away from centre draw two tangents to the circle. Measure
the length of each tangent.
O
Draw a circle of radius of 3 cm. Take two points P and Q one of its diameter extended on both sides, each at a
distance of 7 cm on opposite sides of its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points.
13. Fencing a Backyard : Tina and Shriya have just purchased a purebred German Shepherd, and need to fence in
their backyard so the dog can run.
(i) What is the maximum rectangular area they can enclose with 200 ft of fencing, if they use fencing material
along all four sides? What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
(ii) What is the maximum area if they use the house as one of the sides? What are the dimensions of this
rectangle?
Figure is given on next Page.
14. Silo : A silo is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain or fermented feed
known as silage. Silos are commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food
products and sawdust.
A silo is in the shape of cylinder surmounted by a conical top. The height and diameter of cylindrical part are 40
feet and 42 feet respectively and the slant height of conical part is 29 feet.
(i) How much metal sheet is required to make this silo ?
(ii) What is the storage capacity of silo ?
