Question 23:

Solve the following pair of equations:
\[ 5x+y=3, 6x-5y=\tfrac{1}{2} \]

Correct Answer:
View Solution

Step 1: Express \(y\) from first equation.
\[ y=3-5x \]

Step 2: Substitute into second equation.
\[ 6x-5(3-5x)=\tfrac{1}{2} \] \[ 6x-15+25x=\tfrac{1}{2} \] \[ 31x-15=\tfrac{1}{2} \]

Step 3: Simplify.
\[ 31x=\tfrac{1}{2}+15 = \tfrac{1}{2}+ \tfrac{30}{2} = \tfrac{31}{2} \] \[ x=\tfrac{31}{62} = \tfrac{1}{2} \]

Step 4: Find \(y\).
\[ y=3-5\left(\tfrac{1}{2}\right)=3-\tfrac{5}{2}=\tfrac{1}{2} \]


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{x=\tfrac{1}{2}, \; y=\tfrac{1}{2}} \] Quick Tip: For solving pairs of linear equations, substitution method is effective when one equation can be easily expressed in terms of a variable.


Question 24:

The area of a rectangle gets reduced by \(28 \, m^2\), if its length is increased by 2 m and breadth is reduced by 2 m. If the length is reduced by 1 m and breadth is increased by 2 m, the area is increased by \(33 \, m^2\). Find the area of the rectangle.


Question 25:

The angle of elevation of the top of a 20 m high building from a point \(O\) on the horizontal plane is \(30^\circ\). There is a flagstaff on the top of the building. The angle of elevation of the top of flagstaff is \(45^\circ\). Find the height of the flagstaff and measure of the distance of foot of building from the point \(O\).


Question 26:

The angles of depression from a point on the bridge of a river to opposite banks are \(30^\circ\) and \(45^\circ\) respectively. If the height of the bridge from the banks is \(4.5 \, m\), then find the breadth of the river.

Correct Answer:
View Solution

Step 1: Let breadth of river = \(AB\).

Let point on bridge = \(P\), banks = \(A, B\), with \(PA \perp AB\), height \(PA=4.5\).

Step 2: For angle of depression \(30^\circ\).
\[ \tan 30^\circ = \frac{PA}{AD} = \frac{4.5}{AD} \Rightarrow AD=\frac{4.5}{1/\sqrt{3}}=4.5\sqrt{3} \]

Step 3: For angle of depression \(45^\circ\).
\[ \tan 45^\circ = \frac{PA}{DB} = \frac{4.5}{DB} \Rightarrow DB=4.5 \]

Step 4: Total breadth.
\[ AB=AD+DB=4.5\sqrt{3}+4.5=4.5(\sqrt{3}+1) \] \[ =4.5(1.732+1)=4.5 \times 2.732=12.29 \, m \]


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{AB=4.5(\sqrt{3}+1) \approx 12.29 \, m} \] Quick Tip: Angles of depression are measured from the horizontal, so they form right triangles with the vertical height of the bridge.


Question 27:

(a) A maximum sphere is made by peeling a wooden cube of side 14 cm. Find the volume of the peeled wood.

Correct Answer:
View Solution

Step 1: Volume of cube.
\[ V_{cube} = a^3 = 14^3 = 2744 \, cm^3 \]

Step 2: Volume of largest sphere inscribed in cube.

Radius of sphere = half of cube’s side = \(\tfrac{14}{2} = 7\) cm.
\[ V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (7^3) = \frac{4}{3}\pi (343) = \frac{1372}{3}\pi \]

Using \(\pi=\tfrac{22}{7}\): \[ V_{sphere} = \frac{1372}{3}\times \frac{22}{7} = \frac{30184}{21} \approx 1437.33 \, cm^3 \]

Step 3: Volume of peeled wood.
\[ V_{peeled} = V_{cube} - V_{sphere} = 2744 - 1437.33 = 1306.67 \, cm^3 \]


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1306.67 \, cm^3 \; (approx)} \] Quick Tip: The largest sphere that can fit inside a cube has diameter equal to the side of the cube.


Question 28:

(b) In the figure, two concentric circles of radii 14 cm and 7 cm whose centre is \(O\) and arcs are \(\overset{\frown}{AB}\) and \(\overset{\frown}{CD}\) and \(\angle AOB = 30^\circ\). Find the area of the shaded portion.

Correct Answer:
View Solution

Step 1: Formula for area of sector.
\[ Area of sector = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\pi r^2 \]

Step 2: Outer sector (radius 14).
\[ Outer area = \frac{30}{360}\pi (14^2) = \frac{1}{12}\pi (196) = \frac{196}{12}\pi = \frac{49}{3}\pi \]

Step 3: Inner sector (radius 7).
\[ Inner area = \frac{30}{360}\pi (7^2) = \frac{1}{12}\pi (49) = \frac{49}{12}\pi \]

Step 4: Shaded area (difference).
\[ Shaded area = \frac{49}{3}\pi - \frac{49}{12}\pi \] \[ = \left(\frac{196-49}{12}\right)\pi = \frac{147}{12}\pi = \frac{49}{4}\pi \]

Using \(\pi=\tfrac{22}{7}\): \[ Shaded area = \frac{49}{4}\times \frac{22}{7} = \frac{154}{4} = 38.5 \, cm^2 \]


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{38.5 \, cm^2} \] Quick Tip: For ring-shaped sectors, subtract the area of smaller sector from the larger one.
