Four equal circles, each of radius a, touch each other. Show that the area between them is \(\frac{6}7a^2\)(Take π = 3.14). |
|
Answer» Radius of each circle = a meter If we join the centre of each circle it makes a square of side = 2a Area of square = (2a)2 = 4a2 m2 Area of each quadrant of circle = \(\frac{πr^2}4\) = \(\frac{πa^2}4\) m2 Area of 4 quadrants = \(4\times\frac{πa^2}4\) = πa2 m2 So, Area between circles = 4a2 – πa2 = \(4a^2 - \frac{22}7a^2\) = \(\frac{28a^2 - 22a^2}7\) = \(\frac{6a^2}7\) m2 |

Solve and check result :3x = 2x + 18 |
|
Answer» 3x = 2x + 18 On transposing 2x to L.H.S, we obtain 3x − 2x = 18 x = 18 L.H.S = 3x = 3 × 18 = 54 R.H.S = 2x + 18 = 2 × 18 + 18 = 36 + 18 = 54 L.H.S. = R.H.S. Hence, the result obtained above is correct. |
|
| 36. |
Solve and check result: 5t - 3 = 3t - 5 |
|
Answer» 5t - 3 = 3t - 5 On transposing 3t to L.H.S and −3 to R.H.S, we obtain 5t − 3t = −5 − (−3) 2t = −2 On dividing both sides by 2, we obtain t = −1 L.H.S = 5t − 3 = 5 × (−1) − 3 = −8 R.H.S = 3t − 5 = 3 × (−1) − 5 = − 3 − 5 = −8 L.H.S. = R.H.S. Hence, the result obtained above is correct. |
|
| 37. |
If (5t-3) = 3t-5, then t=?(a) 1 (b) -1 (c) 2 (d) -2 |

| 38. |
Solve :3y + 4/2 - 6y = -2/5 |
|
Answer» 3y + 4/2 - 6y = -2/5 On multiplying both sides by 5(2 − 6y), we obtain 5( 3y + 4 ) = -2( 2 - 6y ) ⇒ 15y + 20 = -4 + 12y ⇒ 15y - 12y = -4 - 20 ⇒ 3y = -24 ⇒ y = -8 |
|
| 39. |
Solve the linear equation(3t - 2)/4 - (2t + 3)/3 = 2/3 - t |
|
Answer» (3t - 2)/4 - (2t + 3)/3 = 2/3 - t L.C.M. of the denominators, 3 and 4, is 12. Multiplying both sides by 12, we obtain 3(3t − 2) − 4(2t + 3) = 8 − 12t ⇒ 9t − 6 − 8t − 12 = 8 − 12t (Opening the brackets) ⇒ 9t − 8t + 12t = 8 + 6 + 12 ⇒ 13t = 26 ⇒ t = 26/13 ⇒ t = 2 |
|
| 40. |
Factorize each of the following algebraic expressions:2r (y – x) + s (x – y) |
|
Answer» We have, 2r (y – x) + s (x – y) = -2r (x – y) + s (x – y) = (x – y) (-2r + s) = (x – y) (s – 2r) |
|
| 41. |
Solve :z/(z + 15) = 4/9 |
|
Answer» z/(z + 15) = 4/9 On multiplying both sides by 9(z + 15), we obtain 9z = 4(z + 15) ⇒ 9z = 4z + 60 ⇒ 9z − 4z = 60 ⇒ 5z = 60 ⇒ z = 12 |
|
| 42. |
Solve : 8x - 3 /3x = 2 |
|
Answer» 8x - 3/3x = 2 On multiplying both sides by 3x, we obtain 8x − 3 = 6x ⇒ 8x − 6x = 3 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = 3/2 |
|
| 43. |
Factorize each of the following algebraic expressions:7a (2x – 3) + 3b (2x – 3) |
|
Answer» We have, 7a(2x – 3) + 3b (2x – 3) = (7a + 3b) (2x – 3) |
|
| 44. |
If a + b + c =0, then write the value of a3 + b3 + c3. |
|
Answer» We know, a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c ) (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc − ca) Put a + b + c =0 This implies a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc |
|
| 45. |
Factorize: x2 – 1 – 2a – a2. |
|
Answer» x2 – 1 – 2a – a2 = x2 – (1 + 2a + a2 ) = x2 – (a + 1)2 = (x – (a + 1)(x + (a + 1) = (x – a – 1)(x + a + 1) |
|
| 46. |
Write the coefficient of x2 in each of the following: (i) 17 – 2x + 7x2 (ii) 9 – 12x + x3 (iii) \(\frac{\pi}{6} x^2 - 3x + 4\)(iv) √3x – 7 |
|
Answer» (i) 17 – 2x + 7x2 Coefficient of x2 = 7 (ii) 9 – 12x + x3 Coefficient of x2 =0 (iii) \(\frac{\pi}{6} x^2 - 3x + 4\) Coefficient of x2 = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) (iv) √3x – 7 Coefficient of x2 = 0 |
|
| 47. |
Solve the linear equationx - 5/3 = x - 3/5 |
|
Answer» x - 5/3 = x - 3/5 L.C.M. of the denominators, 3 and 5, is 15. Multiplying both sides by 15, we obtain 5( x- 5 ) = 3z9 x- 3 ) ⇒ 5x − 25 = 3x − 9 (Opening the brackets) ⇒ 5x − 3x = 25 − 9 ⇒ 2x = 16 ⇒ x = 16/2 ⇒ x = 8 |
|
| 48. |
Which of the following expressions are polynomials in one variable and which are not? State reasons for your answer: (i) 3x2 – 4x + 15 (ii) y2 + 2√3 (iii) 3√x + √2x (iv) \(x - \frac{4}{x}\) (v) x12 + y3 + t50 |
|
Answer» (i) 3x2 – 4x + 15 It is a polynomial of x. (ii) y2 + 2√3 It is a polynomial of y. (iii) 3√x + √2x It is not a polynomial since the exponent of 3√x is a rational term. (iv) \(x - \frac{4}{x}\) It is not a polynomial since the exponent of \(\frac{-4}{x}\) is not a positive term. (v) x12 + y3 + t50 It is a three variable polynomial, x, y and t. |
