1. (i) Option (d) is correct tan θ =
BC
Explanation: Given the polynomial,
p(x) = x3 + x2 – 2x + 1, ⇒ tan θ = 1
For the polynomial to be exactly divisible by (x – 3), ⇒ θ = 45o
Putting x = 3 in the polynomial, (vi) Option (a) is correct.
p(3) = (3)3 + (3)2 – 2(3) + 1 Explanation: We have,
= 27 + 9 – 6 + 1 radius of the roller, r = 14 cm
= 31 height of the roller, h = 100 cm
So, 31 must be subtracted from the polynomial.
Now,
(ii) Option (b) is correct.
C.S.A. of roller (Cylinder) = 2prh
Explanation : P = `1,500, n = 2 years = 24 months,
r = 7% 22
= 2 × × 14 × 100
Amount = Pn + interest 7
P × n × ( n + 1) r = 8,800 cm2
= Pn+ ×
2 × 12 100 So, both statements are true.
1, 500 × 24 × 25 7 (vii) Option (d) is correct.
= 1,500 × 2 + × Explanation:
2 × 12 100
1, 500 × 24 × 25 7 Let the terms be a – d, a, a + d
= 3,000 + × ∴ a – d + a +a – d = 42
2 × 12 100
3a = 42
= 3,000 + 2,625
∴ a = 14
= ` 5,625
(iii) Option (b) is correct. (a – d)( ) = 52
Explanation: DC || AB (given) 142 – d2 = 52
∠CDO = ∠ABO (alternate angles) d2 = 196 – 52
∠DCO = ∠BAO (alternate angles) d2 = 144
∴ ∆COD ~ ∆AOB (by AA criterion) ∴ d = ± 12
(iv) Option (b) is correct. (viii) Option (a) is correct.
Explanation: As, OP is radius and PR is tangent to Explanation:
the circle. Two coins are tossed. Total number of outcomes
∴ ∠OPR = 90° (HT, TH, HH, TT) = 2 × 2 = 4

(b) Put x = 1 in the given polynomial
6 x + 7 – (2x – 7) = 0 ...(i)

⇒ 6x + 7 = 4x2 – 28x + 49 = 1 – 23 + 142 – 120
⇒ 2x2 – 17x + 21 =0 = 142 – 142 = 0
⇒ 2x2 – 14x – 3x + 21 =0 Therefore, 1 is a zero of the polynomial and (x – 1) is

(18 − x )(18 + x ) perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. Mark
⇒ 48x = 324 – x2 this line as l2

x + 48x – 324 = 0 * The point of intersection of lines l1 and l2 is the
⇒ x2 + 54x – 6x – 324 = 0 point equidistant from A, B, and C. Let’s mark this
⇒ x(x + 54) – 6(x + 54) = 0 point as O.
⇒ (x + 54)(x – 6) = 0 * With O as the centre and OA as the radius, draw
⇒ x = – 54 (rejected), 6 a circle. This circle represents the locus of points
equidistant from O and A.
Therefore, speed of the stream is 6 km/h

Therefore, AB = AC
Thus, we can conclude that
Even if B and C are not equal still AB = AC
But converse of above statement is not possible.
