Section C - Question Nos. 26 – 31, of 3 marks each )

26. Let us assume 7-2√3 is a rational number
𝑎
Then 7⎼2√3 = 𝑏 where a & b are integers and also co-primes, with b≠ 0 (1 mark)
𝑎
7 ⎼ 𝑏 = 2√3 (1 mark)
7𝑏−𝑎
= 2√3
𝑏
7𝑏−𝑎
Since a & b are integers, we know that is rational and therefore √3 is
𝑏
 also rational. But it is given that √3 is irrational number, which contradicts our
statement. (1 mark)

∴ 7⎼2√3 is an irrational number.

27. p(x) = ax2 + bx + c
Since ⍺ ,β are zeroes of p(x)
∴ ⍺ + β = ⎼b/a , ⍺β = c/a (1 mark)

28. We know that the lengths of the tangents from an exterior point to a circle are equal.
Therefore, AR= AQ ….(i) ( tangents from A)
BP = BR …..(ii) ( tangents from B )
CQ = CP ……(iii) ( tangents from C) ( 1 mark)
(AR+BP+CQ) = (AQ +BR+CP) = k ( Adding equations i, ii, iii)
Perimeter of ∆ABC = ( AB +BC + CA)
= (AR+BR) + (BP+CP) + (CQ+AQ)
= (AR+BP+CQ) + (AQ+BR+CP) ( 1 mark)
=k+k
2k = Perimeter of ∆ABC
k = ½ (Perimeter of ∆ABC) ( 1 mark)
