2. Linear equation in two variables:

An equation in the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers, and a and b
are not both zero is called a linear equation in two variables x and y.

3. If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels,
then the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the Parallelogram.

 Area of triangle =  Area of a Parallelogram

Hence, the ratio is 1 : 2.

8. Let f(z) = 3z3 + 8z2 – 1

The possible integral zeros of f(z) are –1 and 1.
f(z) = 3z3 + 8z2 – 1
f(–1) = 3(–1)3 + 8(–1)2 – 1 0
–1 is not a zero of f(z)
f(1) = 3(1)3 + 8(1)2 – 1 0
1 is not a zero of f(z)
Therefore, f(z) has no integral zero.

[Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal]
We know that,
Area of parallelogram = Base × corresponding altitude

Area of parallelogram ABCD = CD × AE = AD × CF

16 cm × 8 cm = AD × 10 cm
Thus, the length of AD is 12.8 cm.

11. Area of cross section of pipe = 5 cm 2

Speed of water flowing out of the pipe = 30 cm/sec

Volume of water that flows out in 1 sec = 5 × 30 = 150 cm3
Volume of water that flows out in 1 minute = 150 × 60 = 9000 cm3 = 9 litres.
OR
l = 15 m, b = 12 m and h = 4.5 m
Volume of cuboid = lbh = 15 × 12 × 4.5 = 810 m3
Total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(15 × 12 + 12 × 4.5 + 15 × 4.5)
= 603 m2

12. Let the measure of the smaller angle be x and that of the larger angle be y.
The larger angle is 3° less than twice the measure of the smaller angle, so
y = 2x − 3° ….(1)
Given, that the two angles are complementary,
x + y = 90°
⇒ x + (2x − 3°) = 90°
⇒ x + 2x − 3° = 90°
⇒ 3x = 93°
⇒ x = 31°
Substitute value of x in equation (1)
y = 2(31) − 3°
 ⇒ y = 59°
So, the measures of the two angles are 31° and 59°.

Hence, proved.

18. Steps of construction:

i. We represent the weights on the horizontal axis. We choose the scale on the
horizontal axis as 1 cm = 5 kg. Also, since the first class interval is starting from
35 and not zero, we show it on the graph by marking a kink or a break on the axis.
ii. We represent the number of people (frequency) on the vertical axis. Since the
maximum frequency is 28, we choose the scale as 1 cm = 5 people.
iii. We now draw rectangles (or rectangular bars) of width equal to the class size and
lengths according to the frequencies of the corresponding class intervals.

y = z (Alternate angles, as a1 || a2)

So, 2x = y

25. Let p(x) = 2x4 + x3 – 14x2 – 19x – 6 and q(x) = x2 + 3x + 2
q(x) = x2 + 3x + 2 = (x + 1) (x + 2)
Now, p(–1) = 2(–1)4 + (–1)3 – 14(–1)2 – 19(–1) – 6 = 2 – 1 – 14 + 19 – 6 = 21 – 21 =0
And, p(–2) = 2(–2)4 + (–2)3 – 14(–2)2 – 19(–2) – 6 = 32 – 8 – 56 + 38 – 6 = 70 – 70 =0
Therefore, (x + 1) and (x + 2) are the factors of p(x), so p(x) is divisible by (x + 1) and
(x + 2).
Hence, p(x) is divisible by x2 + 3x + 2.
OR
Factorise: 2x3 - 3x2 - 17x + 30.
Let f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 – 17x + 30.
As -3 is factor of 30,
f(-3) = 2(-3)3 – 3(-3)2 – 17(-3) + 30 = -54 – 27 + 51 + 30 = -81 + 81 = 0
Thus, (x + 3) is a factor of f(x).

along PQ, QR and PR of triangular field PQR, respectively.

Here, 50° < 60° < 70°

i.e.  A <  B <  C

We know that side opposite to greater angle is longer.

Hence, BC < CA < AB

So, distance AB is the maximum. Thus, Anuja walks the maximum distance. Further,
distance QR is the least. Thus, Nikita walks the least distance.

Value: Awareness for a daily walk for better health without gender and religion bias.

OA = OA (common side)
OB = OC (radius of the circle)
AB = AC (given)
∴ △AOB ≅ △AOC
Hence, ∠OAC = ∠OAB

OR
Given that AB and CD are two chords of a circle with centre O, intersecting at a point
E. PQ is the diameter through E, such that ∠AEQ = ∠DEQ.
To prove that AB = CD.
Draw perpendiculars OL and OM on chords AB and CD respectively.

Now, m∠LOE = 180° – 90° – m∠LEO ... [Angle sum property of a triangle]
= 90° – m∠LEO
⇒ m∠LOE = 90° – m∠AEQ
⇒ m∠LOE = 90° – m∠DEQ
⇒ m∠LOE = 90° – m∠MEQ
⇒ ∠LOE = ∠MOE
In ΔOLE and ΔOME,
∠LEO = ∠MEO
∠LOE = ∠MOE
EO = EO
ΔOLE ≅ ΔOME
OL = OM
Therefore, cords AB and CD are equidistant from the centre.
Hence AB = CD
29. Steps of Construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB of 11 cm. (As XY + YZ + ZX = 11cm)

2. Construct an ∠PAB of 30° at point A and ∠QBA of 90° at point B.

3. Bisect ∠PAB and ∠QBA. Let these bisectors intersect each other at point X.

4. Draw perpendicular bisector ST of AX and UV of BX.

5. Let ST intersects AB at Y and UV intersects AB at Z. Join XY, XZ.

XYZ is the required triangle.

30. The equation of the given line is x – 2y = 4.

We can plot a table of value of x and y as below:

x 0 2 −2 4
y −2 −1 −3 0

We plot the points from the table on a graph paper and join them to get a straight line:
From the graph we can see that when x = −1, y = −2.5.
