SECTION -B

Section B consists of 5 questions of 2 marks each.

21. 2x2 + 8x-x-4 [by splitting middle term] [1]

= 2x(x+ 4)-1(x+ 4)
= (2x-1)(x+ 4)

For zeroes of p(x), put p(x) = 0=> (2x -1) (x + 4) = 0

=> 2x-1 = 0 and x+4 = 0

x = ½ and x = -4 [1]
OR

For zeroes of polynomial, put p(x) = 0

(x – 2)2 – (x+ 2)2=0 [.5]
(x-2 + x+2)(x-2-x-2) = 0 [using identity, a2-b2 =(a-b)(a + b)] =» [1]

(2x)(-4) = 0 =» x=0 [.5]

22Let p(x) =3x3 – 4x2 + 7x – 5
At x= 3, p(3) = 3(3)3 – 4(3)2 + 7(3) – 5
= 3×27-4×9 + 21-5 = 81-36+21-5 P( 3) =61 [1]
At x = -3, p(-3)= 3(—3)3 – 4(-3)2 + 7(-3)- 5
= 3(-27)-4×9-21-5 = -81-36-21-5 = -143 p(-3) = -143 [1]
Hence, the value of the given polynomial at x = 3 and x = -3 are 61

OR
f(3/2)=2(3/2)3−9(3/2)2+(3/2)+12
=27/4−81/4+3/2+12
=27−81+64+12
=−-48/4+12
=−-12+12
=0

Hence, (3 2x), is the factor of polynomialf(x).

Let p(x) =a5 -4a2x3 +2x + 2a +3

Since, x + 2a is a factor of p(x), then put p(-2a) = 0 (-2a)5 – 4a2 (-2a)3 + 2(-2a) +
2a + 3 = 0 => -32a5 + 32a5 -4a + 2a+ 3 = 0
=> -2a + 3=0
2a =3
a = 3/2.
Hence, the value of a is 3/2.

23.Find the coordinates of the point (i) whose ordinate is – 4 and which lies on
Y-axis.
(ii) whose abscissa is 5 and which lies on X-axis.

(i)The point whose ordinate is – 4 and which lies on Y-axis, i.e., whose x-
coordinate is zero, is (0,-4).
(ii) The point whose abscissa is 5 and which lies on X-axis, i.e., whose y-
coordinate is zero, is (5, 0).

24. If a point C lies between two points A and B such that AC=BC, then prove
1
that AC= 2 AB. Explain by drawing the figure as well.
According to the given statement, the figure will be as shown alongside in which the opint C lies between two
point A and B such that AC= BC.
Clearly, AC + BC = AB
AC + AC = AB [ AC= BC]
2AC = AB
AC = AB/2

25.AP and BQ are the bisectors of the two alternate interior angles formed by
the intersection of a transversal t with parallel lines l and m (in the given
figure). Show that AP || BQ.

Given In the figure l || m, AP and BQ are the bisectors of ∠EAB and ∠ABH,
respectively.
To prove AP|| BQ
Proof Since, l || m and t is transversal.
Therefore, ∠EAB = ∠ABH [alternate interior angles]

½ ∠EAB =½ ∠ABH [dividing both sides by 2]

∠PAB =∠ABQ
[AP and BQ are the bisectors of ∠EAB and ∠ABH] Since, ∠PAB and ∠ABQ
are alternate interior angles with two lines AP and BQ and transversal AB.
Hence, AP || BQ.
Section C
Section C consists of 6 questions of 3 marks each.

26. If x = 1+ , find the value of .

√ ❑ 1/1+2) =1+2+1-2=2
3 3
=(1+ =8
27. Factorise the polynomial x3 + x2 – 4x – 4.
(x - 2)(x + 1)(x + 2)

28. If the bisectors of B and C of a triangle ABC

meet at a point O. Then prove that

BOC = 900+ A.

BOC = 900+ A.

Taking RHS 900+ (180-2 1-2 2)

=180- 1- 2= BOC=LHS
Hence proved

29. In Fig., AB ⊥ BE and FE ⊥ BE. If BC = DE and AB

= EF, then Δ ABD ≅ Δ FEC.
In Δ ABD & Δ FEC
BC = DE
Adding CD on both sides
BC+CD = DE+CD
BD=CE
AB = EF
ABD= FEB=90
By SAS rule Δ ABD ≅ Δ FEC

OR
Given: Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle and AD⊥ BC, AB = AC.

30. Show that the bisectors of angles of a parallelogram form a rectangle.

Given Let ABCD be a parallelogram and AP, BR, CR, be are the bisectors of ∠A,∠B,∠C and ∠D,
respectively.

To prove Quadrlateral PQRS is a rectangle.

Proof Since, ABCD is a parallelogram, then DC||AB and DA is a transversal.

We have, ∠A+∠D=180∘
[sum of cointerior angles of a parallelogram is 180∘]
⇒12∠A+12∠D=90∘ [dividing both sides by 2]
⇒∠PAD+∠PDA=90∘
⇒∠APD=90∘ [since, sum of all angles of a triangle is 180∘]
∴∠SPQ=90∘ [vertically opposite angles]
Similarly, ∠PQR=90∘
∠QRS=90∘
PSR=90∘

Thus, PQRS is a quadrilateral whose each angle is 90∘.

Hence, PQRS is a rectangle.

OR
Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then
it is a rhombus.
