Question : 26

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 3$√10$ unit. If the smaller side is tripled and the longer side is doubled, new hypotenuse becomes 9$√5$ unit. What are the lengths of the smaller and longer sides of the right triangle, respectively?

a) 3 and 9 units

b) 5 and 9 units

c) 5 and 6 units

d) 3 and 6 units

Answer: (a)

Suppose the smaller and larger sides of a right triangle be x and y, respectively.

By given condition,

$x^2 + y^2 = (3 √{10})^2$

⇒ $x^2 + y^2$ = 90 ... (i)

and $9x^2 + 4y^2$ = 405 ... (ii)

On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

x = 3 units and y = 9 units

Question : 27

If the length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 10 cm, then what is the maximum area of such a right angled triangle ?

a) 25 cm$^2$

b) 100 cm$^2$

c) 50 cm$^2$

d) 10 cm$^2$

Answer: (a)

Area will be maximum when P and B will be same

So $P^2 + P^2 = H^2 ⇒ P^2 = H^2/2$

⇒ P = $H/√2$

Area = $1/2 BP = 1/2 P^2 = 1/2. H^2/2 = H^2/4$

= ${100}/4 = 25 cm^2$

Question : 28

If area of a circle and a square are same, then what is the ratio of their perimeters ?

a) $√π/2$

b) 2 $√π$

c) $√π$

d) $√π/4$

Answer: (a)

Let radius of cirlce is ‘r’ and side of the square is a ∼ then, from question

$π r^2 = a^2 ⇒ r/a = 1/√π$

Now ∼ ${2πr}/{4a} = {2π}/{4√π} = √π/2$

Question : 29

Which one of the following is a Pythagorean triple in which one side differs from the hypotenuse by two units?

a) ($2n^2$ , 2n, 2n + 1)

b) (2n + 1, 4n, $2n^2$ + 2n)

c) (2n, 4n, $n^2$ + 1)

d) (2n, $n^2$ – 1, $n^2$ + 1) Where, n is a positive real number.

Answer: (d)

According to Pythagorean triplet.

The sum of square of base and perpendicular equal to square of hypotenuse.

By hit and trial method:—

$(2n)^2 + (n^2 – 1)^2 = (n^2 + 1)^2$

$4n^2 + n^4 + 1 – 2n^2 = n^4 + 2n^2$ + 1

$n^4 + 2n^2 + 1 = n^4 + 2n^2$ + 1

LHS = RHS

Question : 30

A circle of radius r is inscribed in a regular polygon with n sides (the circle touches all sides of the polygon). If the perimeter of the polygon is p, then the area of the polygon is

a) ${pr}/2$

b) (p + n) r

c) (2p – n) r

d) None of the above

Answer: (a)

The n-sided polygon can be dinded into 'n' triangle with O, the Centre of the circle as one vertex for each triangle. The altitude of each triangle is r. Let the sides of the polygon be '$a_1 ', a_2 ----- a_n$.(Given $a_1 = a_2 = ------ a_n$)

∴ The area of polygon is ${nr}/2 = {pr}/2$

Area of polygon = ${a_1r}/2 + {a_2r}/2 + --- {a_nr}/2 = {pr}/2$

So, option (a) is correct.
