36 A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric
shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in
ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings
etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using
squares, triangles and hexagons.
A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above design. To
ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian plane. He used regular
octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation pattern

38 We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how they
actually reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service provided by
ground-based air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through a given
section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled
airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is managed and regulated by using various concepts
based on coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a point on the
ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the angle of elevation changes
to 30°. The height of the plane remains constantly as 3000√3 m. Use the above information to
answer the questions that follow- 1

Since p, q, 5 and 2 are integers and q ≠ 0, HS of equation (i) is rational. But
LHS of (i) is √3 which is irrational. This is not possible. ½

This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 5 + 2√3 is

2(α + β) = -p

Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr and let the actual time taken be y hours.

Distance covered is xy km
If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced by 4 hours i.e.,
when speed is (x+6)km/hr, time of journey is (y−4) hours.
∴ Distance covered =(x+6)(y−4)

10y= 57
So, y= 5.7 ½
i.e. the required point is (0, 5.7) ½

OR

A(-2,2), F(-2,9), G(-4,7), H(-4,4)

Clearly GH = 7-4=3units ½
AF = 9-2=7 units ½
So, height of the trapezium AFGH = 2 units
1
So, area of AFGH = (AF + GH) x height
2
1
= 2(7+3) x 2
½
= 10 sq. units ½

37. (i) Since each row is increasing by 10 seats, so it is an AP with first term a= 30,
and common difference d=10. ½
So number of seats in 10th row = 𝑎10 = a+ 9d
= 30 + 9×10 = 120 ½
n
(ii) Sn = 2( 2a + (n-1)d)
n ½
1500 = 2( 2 × 30 + (n-1)10)
3000 = 50n + 10n2
n2 +5n -300 =0 ½
n2 + 20n -15n – 300 =0
(n+20) (n-15) =0 ½
Rejecting the negative value, n= 15 ½
OR

No. of seats already put up to the 10th row = S10 ½

10
S10 = 2 {2 × 30 + (10-1)10)} ½

11
 = 5(60 + 90) = 750 ½
So, the number of seats still required to be put are 1500 -750 = 750 ½

(iii) If no. of rows =17

then the middle row is the 9th row ½
𝑎8 = a+ 8d
= 30 + 80
= 110 seats ½

38 (i)

P and Q are the two positions of the plane flying at a height of 3000√3m.
A is the point of observation.

(ii) In △ PAB, tan60° =PB/AB

Or √3 = 3000√3/ AB
So AB=3000m 1
tan30°= QC/AC
1/√3= 3000√3 / AC
AC = 9000m ½
distance covered = 9000- 3000
= 6000 m. ½

OR

In △ PAB, tan60° =PB/AB

Or √3 = 3000√3/ AB
So AB=3000m ½
tan45° = RD/AD
1= 3000√3 / AD ½

12
AD = 3000√3 m
distance covered = 3000√3 - 3000 ½
= 3000(√3 -1)m.

(iii) speed = 6000/ 30 ½

= 200 m/s
= 200 x 3600/1000 ½
= 720km/hr

3000(√3 −1)
Alternatively: speed = 15(√3 −1) ½
= 200 m/s
= 200 x 3600/1000 ½
= 720km/hr
