The given system of equations is
6x – 3y + 10 = 0 and 2x – y + 9 = 0
The given system of equations is of the form
a1X +b1y + c1 = 0

Here we have A = (6,5), B = (-4,3)
Let P (0, y) be the point on the y-axis which is equidistant from the points A (6,5) and B (-4, 3).
By using distance formula
Hence, the required point is (0, 9).
Answer 9.
Number of possible outcomes = 52
Total face cards – 12
Number of favourable outcomes = 52 -12 = 40
Number of possible outcomes = 52

⇒a+3d=0 ⇒ a=-3d
a25a+24d=-3d+24d=21d
3a11=3(a=10d)=3(7d)=21d [∵a=-3d]
∴ a25=3a1 Hence Proved
Answer 12.
Let E be the event card drawn is neither an ace nor a king.
Then, the number of outcomes favourable to the event E = 44 (4 kings and 4 aces are not there)
∴ \(P(E)=\frac { 44 }{ 52 } =\frac { 11 }{ 13 } \)
SECTION-C
Answer 13.
Given integers are 56,96 and 404.
First we find the HCF of 56 and 96.
Applying Euclid’s division algorithm,
we get 96 = 56 x 1 + 40
Since the remainder 40 ≠ 0, so we apply the division lemma to 56 and 40.
56 = 40 x 1 + 16
Since the remainder 16 ≠ 0, so we apply the division lemma to 40 and 16.
40 = 16 x 2 + 8
Since 8 ≠ 0, so we apply the division lemma to 16 and 8.
16 = 8×2 + 0
Clearly, HCF of 56 and 96 is 8.
Let us find the HCF of 8 and the third number 404 by Euclid’s algorithm.
Applying Euclid’s division, we get
404 = 50 x 8 + 4
Since the remainder is 4 ≠ 0. So we apply the division lemma to 8 and 4.
8 = 4 x 2 + 0
We observe that the remainder at this stage is zero. Therefore, the divisor of this stage i.e., 4 is the HCF of 56,96 and 404.
OR
Let us assume on the contrary that \(3-\sqrt { 5 } \) is a rational number. Then, there exist co-prime positive integers a and b such that
This contradicts the fact that 75 is an irrational number. So, our assumption is wrong. Hence 3-75 is an irrational number.
Answer 14.
We know that if x = a is a zero of a polynomial, then x-α is a factor of/(x).
Since \(\sqrt { 2 } \) and \(-\sqrt { 2 } \) are zeros of/(x). Therefore, \(\left( x-\sqrt { 2 } \right) \left( x+\sqrt { 2 } \right) ={ x }^{ 2 }-2\) is a factor of/(x).
Now, we divide/(x) = x4 + 3x3 – 20x2 – 6x + 36 by g(x) = x2 – 2 to find the other zeros of f(x).
We have,
By division algorithm, we have
Hence, the other zeros of the polynomial are 3 and – 6.
Answer 15.
We have,
x+3y=6 …(i)
2x-3y=12 ….(ii)
From equation (i), we have
x = 6 – 3y
x | 3 | 0 | 6 |
y | 1 | 2 | 0 |
From equation (ii), we have
2x=12+3y
x=\(\frac { 12+3y }{ 2 } \)
x | 6 | 9 | 0 |
y | 0 | 2 | -4 |
Plotting the points (3,1), (0, 2), (6, 0), (9, 2) and (0, – 4) on the graph paper on a suitable scale and drawing a line joining them, we obtain the graph of the lines represented by the equations x + 3y = 6 and 2x – 3y = 12 as shown in figure.
It is evident from the graph that the two lines intersect at point (6, 0).
Area of the region bounded by x – 0, y = 0 and 2x-3y = 12.
= Area of ∆ OAB
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x OA x OB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x 6 x 4 = 12 sq. units.

4 | 5 | 20 |
6 | 10 | 60 |
9 | 10 | 90 |
10 | 7 | 70 |
15 | 8 | 120 |
Total | Σfi = 40 | Σfixi = 360 |
∴ \(Mean\left( \overline { X } \right) =\frac { \sum { { f }_{ i }{ x }_{ i } } }{ \sum { { f }_{ i } } } =\frac { 360 }{ 40 } =9\)
