PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4

Question 1.
The following number of goals were scored by a team in a series of 10 matches:
2, 3. 4, 5, 0. 1, 3, 3, 4, 3
Find the mean, median and mode of these scores.
Answer:
Here, n = 10.
Mean X̄ = \(\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}\)
= \(\frac{2+3+4+5+0+1+3+3+4+3}{10}\)
= \(\frac{28}{10}\)
= 2.8
Thus, the mean of the given scores is 2.8 goals.

Arranging the observations in the ascending order, we get:
0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5
Since n = 10 is an even number, \(\frac{n}{2}\) = 5 and \(\frac{n}{2}\) + 1 = 6.

Median M
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) \text { th observation }+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right) \text { th observation }}{2}\)
= \(\frac{5 \text { th } \text { observation }+6 \text { th } \text { observation }}{2}\)
= \(\frac{3+3}{2}\) = 3
Thus, the median of the given scores is 3 goals.
In the given data, observation 3 occurs most frequently (4 times). Hence, the mode of the data is 3 goals.

Question 2.
In a mathematics test given to 15 students, the following marks (out of 100) are recorded :
41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60
Find the mean, median and mode of this data.
Answer:
Here, n = 15.
Mean X̄ = \(\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}\)
= \(\begin{gathered}
41+39+48+52+46+62+54+40 \\
+96+52+98+40+42+52+60 \\
\hline 15
\end{gathered}\)
= \(\frac{822}{15}\) = 54.8
Thus, the mean of the data is 54.8 marks.
Arranging the observations in the ascending order, we get:
39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98
Here, n = 15 is an odd number.
Median M = \(\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)\)th observation
= \(\left(\frac{15+1}{2}\right)\)th observation
= 8 th observation
= 52
Thus, the median of the data is 52 marks.
In the given data, observation 52 occurs most frequently (3 times). Hence, the mode of the data is 52 marks.

Question 3.
The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 63, find the value of x.
29, 32, 48, 50, x, x + 2, 72, 78, 84, 95
Answer:
Here, the median = 63 and n = 10.
∴ \(\frac{n}{2}\) = 5 and \(\frac{n}{2}\) + 1 = 6

Median M
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) \text { th observation }+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right) \text { th observation }}{2}\)
∴ 63 = \(\frac{5 \text { th } \text { observation }+6 \text { th } \text { observation }}{2}\)
∴ 63 = \(\frac{(x)+(x+2)}{2}\)
∴63 × 2 = x + x + 12
∴126 = 2x + 2
∴ 2x = 124
∴ x = 62

Question 4.
Find the mode of 14, 25, 14, 28, 18, 17, 18, 14, 23, 22, 14, 18.
Answer:
Here, just by simple observation, it is clearly seen that observation 14 occurs most frequently, i.e., 4 times.
Hence, the mode of the data is 14.

Question 5.
Find the mean salary of 60 workers of a factory from the following table:

Answer:

Mean X̄ = \(\frac{\Sigma f_{i} x_{i}}{n}\)
= \(\) = \(\frac{3,05,000}{60}\) = 5083.33
Thus, the mean salary is ₹ 5083.33.

Question 6.
Give one example of a situation in which
(i) the mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
Answer:
For the students studying in the same class, usually their level of knowledge and understanding would be more or less equal. There would be a few student having this level low and there would be a few students having this level high. Their level of knowledge and understanding would be reflected in the marks scored by them at an examination. Hence, the mean of marks scored by them at an examination is an appropriate measure of central tendency.

(ii) the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
Answer:
If we consider the monthly income of the people of certain region, the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.

PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9

Question 1.
A wooden bookshelf has external dimensions as follows : Height =110 cm, Depth = 25 cm, Breadth = 85 cm (see the given figure). The thickness of the plank is 5 cm everywhere. The external faces are to be polished and the inner faces are to be painted. If the rate of polishing is 20paise per cm2 and the rate of painting is 10 paise per cm2, find the total expenses required for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.

Answer:
Outer faces to be polished:

• One face on back side of the bookshelf, measuring 110 cm × 85 cm.
• Two faces on the sides, each of those measuring 110 cm × 25 cm.
• The top and the base, each of those measuring 85 cm × 25 cm.
• Two vertical strips on the front side, each of those measuring 110 cm × 5 cm.
• Four horizontal strips on the front side, each of those measuring 75 cm × 5 cm.

Thus, total area of region to be polished
= [(110 × 85) + 2(110 × 25) + 2 (85 × 25) + 2(110 × 5) + 4(75 × 5)] cm²
= (9350 + 5500 + 4250 + 1100+ 1500) cm²
= 21700 cm²
20 paise per cm² = ₹ 0.20 per cm²
Cost of polishing 1 cm2 region = ₹ 0.20
∴ Cost of polishing 21700 cm² region
= ₹ (21700 × 0.20)
= ₹ 4340

Inner faces to be painted:

• Two faces on the sides each of those measuring 90 cm × 20 cm.
• Two faces each of two shelves, the top face and the bottom face, in all six face, each of those measuring 75 cm × 20 cm.
• Face on the back side, measuring 90 cm × 75 cm.

Thus, total area of the region to be painted
= [2 (90 × 20) + 6 (75 × 20) + (90 × 75)] cm²
= (3600 + 9000 + 6750) cm²
= 19350 cm²
10 paise per cm² = ₹0.10 per cm²
Cost of painting 1 cm² region = ₹ 0.10
∴ Cost of painting 19350 cm² region = ₹ (19350 × 0.10) = ₹ 1935
Then, the total expense of polishing and painting = ₹ 4340 + ₹ 1935 = ₹ 6275

Question 2.
The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 21 cm, placed on small supports as shown in the given figure. Eight such spheres are used for this purpose, and are to be ‘ painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5 cm and height 7 cm and is to be painted black. Find the cost of paint required if silver paint costs 25 paise per cm² and black paint costs 5 paise per cm².

Answer:
For each wooden sphere,
radius r = \(\frac{\text { diameter }}{2}\) = \(\frac{21}{2}\) cm
Curved surface area of 1 sphere
= 4πr²
= 4 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{21}{2}\) × \(\frac{21}{2}\) cm²
= 1386 cm²
For each cylindrical support, radius r = 1.5 cm and height h = 7 cm.
Area of top of cylindrical support
= πr²
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 1.5 × 1.5 cm²
= 7.07 cm² (approx.)
Hence, the area of each sphere to be painted silver = 1386 cm² – 7.07 cm² = 1378.93 cm²
∴ Total area of eight spheres to be painted silver = 1378.93 cm² × 8 = 11031.44 cm²
25 paise per cm² = ₹ 0.25 per cm²
Cost of painting silver in 1 cm² region = ₹ 0.25
∴ Cost of painting silver in 11031.44 cm² region
= ₹ (11031.44 x 0.25)
= ₹ 2757.86 (approx.)
Curved surface area of 1 cylindrical support
= 2πrh
= 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 1.5 × 7 cm
= 66 cm²
∴ Total area of eight cylindrical supports to be painted black = 66 cm² × 8 = 528 cm²
5 paise per cm² = ₹ 0.05 per cm²
Cost of painting black in 1 cm² region = ₹ 0.05
∴ Cost of painting black in 528 cm² region = ₹ (528 × 0.05)
= ₹ 26.40
Thus, the total cost of painting = ₹ 2757.86 + ₹ 26.40
= ₹ 2784.26 (approx.)

Question 3.
The diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25 %. By what per cent does its curved surface area decrease?
Answer:
Suppose, the initial diameter of the sphere is d units and radius is r units.
∴ d = 2r
Original curved surface area of the sphere
= 4πr²
= π (4r²)
= π (2r)²
= πd² unit²
Now, the diameter of the sphere is reduced by 25 %. Hence, the new diameter of the sphere is 0.75d units.
New curved surface area of the sphere
= π (diameter)
= π (0.75d)² unit²
= 0.5625 πd² unit²
∴ The decrease in the curved surface area of the sphere = πd² – 0.5625 πd²
= 0.4375 πd² unit²
∴Percentage decrease in the curved surface area of the sphere = \(\frac{0.4375 \pi d^{2}}{\pi d^{2}}\) × 100 = 43.75 %
Thus, when the diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25 %, its curved surface area decreases by 43.75 %.

Solution:
(i) sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60°
= \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\)

= \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\) = 1.

(ii) 2 tan² 45° + cos² 30° – sin² 60° = 2 (tan 45°)² + (cos 30°)² – (sin 60°)²

(iii)
= \(\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+(2)}=\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{2+2 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}}\)

= \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}: \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2+2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)}\)

= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3}-1)}{2 \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)(\sqrt{3}-1)}\)

= \(\frac{\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3} \times(\sqrt{3}-1)}{4(3-1)}=\frac{3 \sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{8}\).

(iv)

= \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}+1-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{2}+1}=\frac{\frac{3}{2}-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{3}{2}}\)

(B) cos 60°
(C) tan 60°
(D) sin 30°

(ii) \(\frac{1-\tan ^{2} 45^{\circ}}{1+\tan 45^{\circ}}\)
(A) tan 90°
(B) 1
(C) sin 45°
(D) 0.

(iii) sin 2A = 2 sin A is true when
(A) 0°
(B) 30°
(C) 45°
(D) 60°

(iv) \(\frac{2 \tan 30^{\circ}}{1+\tan ^{2} 30^{\circ}}\)
(A) cos 60°
(B) sin 60°
(C) tan 60°
(D) sin 30°.

Solution:
(i) \(\frac{2 \tan 30^{\circ}}{1+\tan 30^{\circ}}=\frac{2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)}{1+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{2}}\)

\(\frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{1+\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = sin 60°.
So, correct anwer is (A).

(ii) \(\frac{1-\tan ^{2} 45^{\circ}}{1+\tan ^{2} 45^{\circ}}=\frac{1-(1)^{2}}{1+(1)^{2}}\) = 0
So, correct anwer is (D).

(iii) Here when A = 0°
L.H.S. = sin 2A = sin 0° = 0
and R.H.S. = 2 sin A = 2 sin 0°
= 2 × 0 = 0
∴ Option (A) is correct.

(iv) \(\frac{2 \tan 30^{\circ}}{1-\tan ^{2} 30^{\circ}}=\frac{2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)}{1-\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{2}}\)

= \(\frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{1-\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{3}{2}=\sqrt{3}\)

= tan 60°
∴ Option (C) is correct.

Question 3.
If tan (A + B) = \(\sqrt{3}\) and tan (A – B) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\); 0° ∠A + B ≤ 90°; A > B. find A and B.
Solution:
tan (A + B) = \(\sqrt{3}\). Given
tan (A + B) = tan 60°
⇒ A + B = 60° ……………..(1)
tan (A – B) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) (Given)
or tan (A – B) = tan 30°
⇒ A – B = 30° …………….(2)
On adding (1) and (2),

A = 45°

Pu value of A = 45° in (1)
45° + B = 60°
B = 60° – 45°
B = 15°
Hence A = 45° and B = 15°.

Question 4.
State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B.
(ii) The value of sin q increases as q increases.
(iii) The value of cos q Increases as q increases
(iv) sin q = cos q for all value of q.
(v) cot A is not defined for A = 0°.
Solution:
(i) False.
When A = 60°, B = 30°
L.H.S. = sin (A + B) = sin (60° + 30°) = sin 90° = 1
R.H.S. = sin A + sin B
= sin 60° + sin 30°
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\) ≠ 1
i.e., L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

(ii) True, sin 30° = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 0.5,
Note that sin 0° = 0,
sin 45° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) = 0.7 (approx.)
sin 60° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = 0.87 (approx.)
and sin 90° = 1
i.e., value of sin θ increases as θ increases from 0° to 90°.

(iii) False.
Note that cos 0° = 1,
cos 30° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = 0.87(approx.)
cos 45° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) = 0.7.(approx.)
cos 60° = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 0.5
and cos 90° = 0.
Hence, value of θ decreases as θ increases from 0° to 90°.

(iv) False
Since sin 30° = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
and cos 30° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
or sin 30° ≠ cos 30°
Only we have: sin 45° = cos 45°.
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

(v) True.
cot 0° = \(\frac{1}{\tan 0^{\circ}}=\frac{1}{0}\), or not defined.

PSEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 8 Introduction to Trigonometry Ex 8.1

Question 1.
In ∆ABC, right angled at B, AB = 24 cm; BC = 7 cm. Determine
(i) sin A, cos A
(ii) sin C, cos C.
Solution:
(i) We are to find sin A .cos A AB = 24 cm; BC = 7 cm
By using Pythagoras Theorem,

AC² = AB² + BC²
AC² = (24)² + (7)²
AC² = 576 + 49
AC² = 625
AC = \(\sqrt{625}\)
AC = 25 cm.
sin A = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}\)

sin A = \(\frac{7 \mathrm{~cm}}{25 \mathrm{~cm}}=\frac{7}{25}\)

cos A = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{24 \mathrm{~cm}}{25 \mathrm{~cm}}\)

cos A = \(\frac{24}{25}\)

Hence sin A = \([latex]\frac{7}{25}\)[/latex] and cos A = \([latex]\frac{24}{25}\)[/latex].

(ii) sin C = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{24 \mathrm{~cm}}{25 \mathrm{~cm}}\)

sin C = \(\frac{24}{25}\)

cos C = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{7 \mathrm{~cm}}{25 \mathrm{~cm}}\)

cos C = \(\frac{7}{25}\)

Hence sin C = \(\frac{24}{25}\) and cos C = \(\frac{7}{25}\).

Question 2
In fig., find tan P – cot R.

Solution:
Hyp. PR = 13 cm

By using Pythagoras Theorem,
PR² = PQ² + QR²
or (13)² = (12)² + QR²
or 169 = 144 + (QR)²
or 169 – 144 = (QR)²
or 25 = (QR)²
or QR = ± \(\sqrt{25}\)
or QR = 5, – 5.
But QR = 5 cm.
[QR ≠ – 5, because side cannot be negative]
tan P = \(\frac{R Q}{Q P}=\frac{5}{12}\)

cot R = \(\frac{R Q}{P Q}=\frac{5}{12}\)

∴ tan P – cot R = \(\frac{5}{12}-\frac{5}{12}\) = 0
Hence tan P – cot R = 0.

Question 3.
If sin A = \(\frac{3}{4}\) calculate cos A and tan A.
Solution:
Let ABC be any triangle with right angle at B.

sin A = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
But sin A = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}\) [From figure]
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{3}{4}\)
But \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{3}{4}\) = K
where K, is constant of proportionality.
⇒ BC = 3K, AC = 4K
By using Pythagoras Theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
or (4K)² = (AB)² + (3K)²
or 16K² = AB² + 9K²
or 16K² – 9K² = AB²
or 7K² = AB²
or AB = ± \(\sqrt{7 K^{2}}\)
or AB = ± \(\sqrt{7} \mathrm{~K}\)
[AB ≠ \(\sqrt{7 K}\) because side of a triangle cannot be negative]

⇒ AB = \(\sqrt{7} \mathrm{~K}\)
cos A = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}\)
cos A = \(\frac{\sqrt{7} K}{4 K}=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}\)
tan A = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{~K}}{\sqrt{7} \mathrm{~K}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}\)

Hence cos A = \(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}\) and tan A = \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}\).

Question 4.
Given 15 cot A = 8, find sin A and sec A.
Solution:
Let ABC be any right angled triangle where A is an acute angle with right angle at B.

15 cot A = 8
cot A = \(\frac{8}{15}\)
But cot A = \(\frac{A B}{B C}\) (fromfig.)
⇒ \(\frac{A B}{B C}=\frac{8}{15}\) = K
where K is constant of proportionality.
AB = 8 K, BC = 15 K
By using Pythagoras Theorem.
AC² = (AB)² + (BC)²
(AC)² = (8 K)² + (15 K)²
(AC)² = 64K² + 225 K²
(AC)² = 289 K²
AC = ± \(\sqrt{289 K^{2}}\)
AC = ± 17 K
⇒ AC = 17K
[AC = – 17 K, Because side cannot be negative]
sin A = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{15 \mathrm{~K}}{17 \mathrm{~K}}=\frac{15}{17}\)

sin A = \(\frac{15}{17}\)

sec A = \(\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{AB}}\)

sec A = \(\frac{17 \mathrm{~K}}{8 \mathrm{~K}}=\frac{17}{8}\)

sec A = \(\frac{17}{8}\)

Hence, sin A = \(\frac{15}{17}\) and sec A = \(\frac{17}{8}\).

Question 5.
Given sec θ = \(\frac{13}{2}\), calculate all other trigonometric ratios.
Solution:
Let ABC be any right angled triangle with right angle at B.
Let ∠BAC = θ

sec θ = \(\frac{13}{12}\)

But sec θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{AB}}\) ……….[from fig.]

\(\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{13}{12}\)

But \(\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{13}{12}\) = k where k is constant of proportionality.
AC = 13 k and AB = 12 k
By using Pythagoras Theorem,
AC² = (AB)² + (BC)²
or (13k)² = (12k)² + (BC)²
or 169k² = 144k² + (BC)²
or 169k² – 144k² = (BC)
or (BC)² = 25k²
or BC = ± \(\sqrt{25 k^{2}}\)
or BC = ± 5k
or BC = 5k.
[BC ≠ – 5k because side cannot be negative]

sin θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{5 k}{13 k}=\frac{5}{13}\)
cos θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{12 k}{13 k}=\frac{12}{13}\)
tan θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{5 k}{12 k}=\frac{5}{12}\)
cosec θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{13 k}{5 k}=\frac{13}{5}\)
cot θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{12 k}{5 k}=\frac{12}{5}\).

Question 6.
If ∠A and ∠B are acute angles such that cos A = cos B, show that LA = LB.
Solution:
Let ABC be any triangle, where ∠A and ∠B are acute angles. To find cos A and cos B.

Draw CM ⊥ AB
∠AMC = ∠BMC = 90°
In right angled ∆AMC,
\(\frac{\mathrm{AM}}{\mathrm{AC}}\) = cos A ……………(1)
In right angled ∆BMC,
\(\frac{\mathrm{BM}}{\mathrm{BC}}\) = cos B ……………(2)
But cos A = cos B [given] ………..(3)
From (1), (2) and (3),
\(\frac{\mathrm{AM}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{\mathrm{BM}}{\mathrm{BC}}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{AM}}{\mathrm{BM}}=\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{\mathrm{CM}}{\mathrm{CM}}\)
∴ ∆AMC = ∆BMC [By SSS similarity]
⇒ ∠A = ∠B [∵ Corresponding angles of two similar triangles are equal].

Question 7.
If cot θ = \(\frac{7}{8}\) evaluate
(i) \(\frac{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}\)
(ii) cot² θ.
Solution:
(i) ∠ABC = θ.
In right angled triangle ABC with right angle at C.

Given that, cot θ = \(\frac{7}{8}\)
But cot θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}\) [From fig.]
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{7}{8}\)
Let \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{7}{8}\) = k
where k is constant of proportionality.
⇒ BC = 7k, AC = 8k
By using Pythagoras Theorem,
AB² = (BC)² + (AC)²
or (AB)² = (7k)² + (8k)²
or (AB)² = 49k² + 64k²
or (AB)² = 113 k²
or AB = ± \(\)
AB = \(\sqrt{113 k^{2}}\) k
AB = \(\sqrt{113}\) k
[AB ≠ \(\sqrt{113}\) k because side cannot be negative]

sin θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{8 k}{\sqrt{113} k}\)
sin θ = \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}\)
cos θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{7 k}{\sqrt{113} k}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{113}}\)
cos θ = \(\frac{7}{\sqrt{113}}\)

(1 + sin θ) (1 – sin θ) = (1 + \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}\)) (1 – \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}\))
= (1)² – (\(\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}\))²
[By using formula (a + b) (a – b) = a² – b²]
= 1 – \(\frac{64}{113}\)
(1 + sin θ) (1 – sin θ) = \(\frac{113-64}{113}=\frac{49}{113}\)
(1 + sin θ)(1 – sin θ) = \(\frac{49}{113}\) ……………..(1)

(1 + cos θ) (1 – cos θ) = (1 + \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}\)) (1 – \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}\))
(1)² – (\(\frac{7}{\sqrt{113}}\))²
[By using formula(a + b) (a – b) = a² – b²]
= 1 – \(\frac{49}{113}\) = \(\frac{113-49}{113}\)
(1 + cos θ) (1 – cos θ) = \(\frac{64}{113}\) ……….(2)

Consider, \(\frac{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}=\frac{\frac{49}{113}}{\frac{64}{113}}\) [From (1) and (2)]

Hence \(\frac{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}=\frac{49}{64}\)

(ii) cot θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{7}{8}\)
cot² θ = (cot θ)²
cot² θ= (\(\frac{7}{8}\))²
⇒ cot² θ = \(\frac{49}{64}\).

Question 8.
If 3 cot A = 4 check whether \(\frac{1-\tan ^{2} A}{1+\tan ^{2} A}\) = cos² A – sin² A or not.
Solution:
Let ABC be a right angled triangle with right angled at B.

It is given that 3 cot A = 4
cot A = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
But cot A = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{BC}}\) [From fig.]
⇒ \(\frac{A B}{B C}=\frac{4}{3}\)
But \(\frac{A B}{B C}=\frac{4}{3}\) = k
⇒ AB = 4k, BC = 3k
By using Pythagoras Theorem,
(AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²
(AC)² = (4k)² + (3k)²
(AC)² = 16 k² + 9 k²
(AC)² = 25 k²
AC=± \(\sqrt{25 k^{2}}\)
AC = ± 5k

But AC = 5k.
[AC ≠ – 5k. because side cannot be negative]
sin A = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{3 k}{5 k}=\frac{3}{5}\)

tan A = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{3 k}{4 k}=\frac{3}{4}\)

cos A = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{4 k}{5 k}=\frac{4}{5}\)

L.H.S. = \(\frac{1-\tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}}{1+\tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}}\)

∴ cos² A – sin² A = \(\frac{7}{25}\) ………..(2)

From (1) and (2),
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence, \(\frac{1-\tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}}{1+\tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}}\) = cos² A – sin² A.

Question 9.
In triangle ABC, right angled at B, if tan A = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\). Find the value of:
(i) sin A cos C + cos A sin C
(ii) cos A cos C – sin A sin C.
Solution:
(i) Given: ABC with right angled at B

tan A = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) ……………..(1)
But tan A = \(\frac{B C}{A B}\) ……………(2)
From (1) and (2),
\(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Let \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = k
BC = k, AB = k
where k is constant of proportionality.
In right angled triangle ABC,
By using Pythagoras Theorem,
(AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²
or (AC)² = (Jk)² + (k)²
or AC² = 3k² + k²
or AC² = 4k²
or AC = ± \(\sqrt{4 k^{2}}\)
AC = ± 2k.
where AC = 2k
[AC ≠ – 2k side cannot be negative]

[sin A = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{k}{2 k}=\frac{1}{2}\)

cos C = \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{k}{2 k}=\frac{1}{2}\)

cos A = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{\sqrt{3} k}{2 k}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

sin C = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{\sqrt{3} k}{2 k}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)] …………….(3)

sin A cos C = \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{4}\)
cos A sin C = \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{3}{4}\)
sin A cos C + cos A sin C = \(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{1+3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{4}{4}\) = 1
∴ sin A cos C + cos A sin C = 1.

(ii) cos A cos C = \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) [From (3)]
sin A sin C = \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) [From (3)]

cos A cos C – sin A sin C = \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\right)-\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\right)\) = 0.

Question 10.
In ∆PQR, right angled at Q, PR + QR = 25 cm and PQ = 5 cm. Determine the values of sin P, cos P and tan P.
Solution:
Given: ∆PQR, right angled at Q

PR + QR = 25 cm
PQ = 5 cm
In right angled triangle PQR
By using Pythagoras Theorem,
(PR)² = (PQ)² + (RQ)²
or (PR)² = (5)² + (RQ)²
[∴ PR + QR = 25, QR = 25 – PR]
or (PR)² = 25 + [25 – PR]²
or (PR)² = 25 + (25)² + (PR)² – 2 × 25 × PR
or (PR)² = 25 + 625 + (PR)² – 50
or (PR)² – (PR)² + 50 PR = 650
or 50 PR = 650
or PR = \(\frac{650}{50}\)
or PR = 13 cm
QR = 25 – PR
QR = (25 – 13) cm
or QR = 12 cm.

sin P = \(\frac{Q R}{P R}=\frac{12}{13}\)

cos P = \(\frac{P Q}{P R}=\frac{5}{13}\)

tan P = \(\frac{Q R}{P Q}=\frac{12}{5}\)

∵ Sec A is always greater than 1.

(iii) False.
Because cos A is used for cosine A.

PSEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.4

Question 1.
Determine the ratio in which the line it + y – 4 = 0 divides the line segment joining the points A (2, – 2) and B (3, 7).
Solution:
Let line 2x + y – 4 = 0 divides the line segment joining the points A (2,- 2) and B(3, 7) at C (x, y) in the ratio k : 1

∴ Coordinates of C are x = \(\frac{3 k+2 \times 1}{k+1}=\frac{3 k+2}{k+1}\) and y = \(\frac{7 k+(-2) \times 1}{k+1}=\frac{7 k-2}{k+1}\)
∴ C \(\left[\frac{3 k+2}{k+1}, \frac{7 k-2}{k+1}\right]\). must lie on the line 2x + y – 4 = 0

i.e., 2\(\left(\frac{3 k+2}{k+1}\right)+\left(\frac{7 k-2}{k+1}\right)\) – 4 = 0
or \(\frac{6 k+4+7 k-2-4 k-4}{k+1}\) = 0
or 9k – 2 = 0
or 9k = 2
or k = \(\frac{2}{9}\).
∴ ratio k : 1 = \(\frac{2}{9}\) : 1 = 2 : 9.
Hence required ratio is 2 : 9.

Question 2.
Find a relation between x and y if (x, y) ; (1, 2) and (7, 0) are collinear.
Solution:
Let given points are A (x, y); B (1, 2) and C (7, 0).
Here x₁ = x, x₂ = 1, x₃ = 7
y₁ = y, y₂ = 2, y₃ = 0
∵ Three points are collinear
iff \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)] = 0
or \(\frac{1}{2}\) x (2 – 0) + 1 (0 – y) + 7 (y – 2)] = 0
or 2x – y + 7y – 14 = 0
or 2x + 6y – 14 = 0
or x + 3y – 7 = 0 is the required relation.

Question 3.
Find the centre of a cirçle passing through the points (6, —6); (3, —7) and (3,3).
Solution:
Let O (x, y) be the required centre of the circle which passes through points P(6, – 6); Q(3, – 7) and R (3, 3).
∴ radii of circle are equal.

∴ OP = OQ = OR
or (OP)² = (OQ)² = (OR)²
Now, (OP)² = (OQ)²
(x – 6)² + (y + 6)² = (x – 3)² + (y + 7)²
or x² + 36 – 12x + y² + 36 + 12y = x² + 9 – 6x + y² + 49 + 14y
or – 12x + 12y + 72 = – 6x + 14y + 58
or – 6x – 2y + 14 = 0
or 3x + y – 7 = 0 ………………(1)
Also, (OQ)² = (OR)²
or (x – 3)² + (y + 7)² = (x – 3)² + (y – 3)²
or (y + 7)² = (y – 3)²
or y² + 49 + 14y = y² + 9 – 6y
or 20y = – 40
y = \(\frac{-40}{20}\) = – 2
Substitute this value of)’ in (1), we get
3x – 2 – 7 = 0
or 3x – 9 = 0
or 3x = 9
or x = \(\frac{9}{3}\) = 3
∴ Required centre is (3, – 2).

Question 4.
The two opposite vertices of a square are (- 1, 2) and (3, 2). Find the coordinates of other two vertices.
Solution:
Let two opposite vertices of a square ACBD are A (- 1, 2) and B (3, 2) and coordinates of C are (x, y)
∵ Length of each sides of square are equal.
∴ AC = BC
or (AC)² = (BC)²
or (x + 1)² + (y – 2)² = (x – 3)² + (y – 2)²

or (x + 1)² = (x – 3)²
or x² + 1 + 2x = x² + 9 – 6x
or 8x = 8
or x = \(\frac{8}{8}\) = 1
Now, in rt ∠d ∆ACB,
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
(AC)² + (BC)² = (AB)²
(x + 1)² + (y – 2)² + (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² = (3 + 1)² + (2 – 2)²
or x² + 1 + 2x + y² + 4 – 4y + x² + 9 – 6x + y² + 4 – 4y = 16
or 2x² + 2y² – 4x – 8y + 2 = 0
or x² + y² – 2x – 4y + 1 = 0
Putting the value of x = 1 in (1), we get
(1)² + y² – 2 (1) – 4y + 1 = 0
or y² – 4y = 0
or y (y – 4) = 0
Either y = 0 or y – 4 = 0
Either y = 0 or y = 4
∴ y = 0, 4
∴ Required points are (1. 0) and (1.4).

Question 5.
The Class X students of a secondary school in Krishinagar have been allotted a rectangular plot of land for their gardening activity. Sapling of Gulmohar are planted on the boundary at a distance of 1m from each other. There ¡s a triangular grassy lawn in the plot as shown in the Fig. The students are to sow seeds of flowering plants on the remaining area of the plot.

(i) Taking A as origin, find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.
(ii) What will be the coordinates of the vertices of A PQR if C is the origin? Also calculate the areas of the triangles In these cases. What do you observe?
Solution:
Case I:
When taking A as origin then AD is X-axis and AB is Y-axis.
∴ Coordinates of triangular grassy Lawn
PQR are P (4, 6); Q (3, 2) and R(6, 5).
Here x₁ = 4, x₂ = 3, x₃ = 6
y₁ = 6, y₂ = 2, y₃ = 50
Now, area of ∆PQR = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [4 (2 – 5) + 3 (5 – 6) + 6 (6 – 2)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [- 12 – 3 + 24] = \(\frac{9}{2}\)
= 4.5 sq. units.

Case II: When taking C as origin then CB is X – axis and CD is Y – axis.
∴ Coordinates of triangular grassy lawn PQR
are P(12, 2); Q (13,6) and R (10, 3)
Here x₁ = 12, x₂ = 13, x₃ = 10
y₁ = 2, y₂ = 6, y₃ = 3
Now, area of ∆PQR = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [12 (6 – 3) + 13 (3 – 2) + 10 (2 – 6)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [36 + 13 – 40]
= \(\frac{9}{2}\) = 4.5 sq. units.
From above two cases, it is clear that area of triangular grassy lawn is same.

Question 6.
The vertices of a ∆ABC are A (4, 6), B (1, 5) and C (7, 2). A line is drawn to intersect sides AB and AC at D and E respectively, such that \(\frac{\mathrm{AD}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{\mathrm{AE}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{1}{4}\) Calculate the area of the ∆ADE and compare it with the area of ∆ABC. (Recall Theorem 6.2 and Theorem 6.6).
Solution:
The vertices of ∆ABC are A (4, 6); B (1, 5) and C (7, 2)

A line is drawn to intersect sides AB and AC at D (x₁, y₁) and E (x₂, y₂) respectively such that \(\frac{\mathrm{AD}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{\mathrm{AE}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{1}{4}\).

∴ D and E divides AB and AC in the ratio 1 : 3.
∴ Coordinates of D are
x₁ = \(\frac{1(1)+3(4)}{1+3}=\frac{1+12}{4}=\frac{13}{4}\) and y₁ = \(\frac{1(5)+3(6)}{1+3}=\frac{5+18}{4}=\frac{23}{4}\)

∴ Coordinates of D are (\(\frac{13}{4}\), \(\frac{23}{4}\))
Now, coordinates of E are
x₂ = \(\frac{1(7)+3(4)}{1+3}=\frac{7+12}{4}=\frac{19}{4}\) and y₂ = \(\frac{1(2)+3(6)}{1+3}=\frac{2+18}{4}=\frac{20}{4}=5\)

∴ Coordinates of E are (\(\frac{19}{4}\), 5).

In ∆ADE
x₁ = 4, x₂ = \(\frac{13}{4}\), x₃ = \(\frac{19}{4}\)
y₂ = 6, y₂ = \(\frac{23}{4}\), y₃ = 5
area of ∆ADE = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]

= \(\frac{1}{2}\left[4\left(\frac{23}{4}-5\right)+\frac{13}{4}(5-6)+\frac{19}{4}\left(6-\frac{23}{4}\right)\right]\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\left[4\left(\frac{23-20}{4}\right)+\frac{13}{4}(-1)+\frac{19}{4}\left(\frac{24-23}{4}\right)\right]\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\left[3-\frac{13}{4}+\frac{19}{16}\right]\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{48-52+19}{16}=\frac{15}{16}\right]\)
= \(\frac{15}{32}\) sq. units.

In ∆ABC
x₁ = 4, x₂ = 1, x₃ = 7
y₂ = 6, y₂ = 5, y₃ = 2
Area of ∆ABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [4 (5 – 2) + 1 (2 – 6) + 7 (6 – 5)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [12 – 4 + 7] = \(\frac{15}{2}\) sq.units.

Now, \(\frac{\text { area of } \Delta \mathrm{ADE}}{\text { area of } \Delta \mathrm{ABC}}=\frac{\frac{15}{32}}{\frac{15}{2}}=\frac{15}{32} \times \frac{2^{1}}{16_{1}}\)

= \(\frac{1}{16}=\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2}\)

= \(\left(\frac{A D}{A B}\right)^{2} \text { or }\left(\frac{A E}{A C}\right)^{2}\).

Question 7.
Let (4, 2), B (6, 5) and C (1, 4) be the vertices of ∆ABC.
(i) The median from A meets BC at D. Find the coordinates of the point D.
(ii) Find the coordinates of the potnt P on AD such that AP : PD = 2 : 1
(iii) Find the coordinates of points Q and R on medians BE and CF respectively such that BQ : QE = 2 : 1 and CR : RF = 2 : 1.
(iv) What do you observe?
[Note : The point which is common to all the three medians ¡s called centroid and this point divides each median in the ratio 2: 1]
(v) if A (x₁, y₁), B (x₂, y₂) and C (x₃, y₃) are the vertices of ∆ABC, find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle.
Solution:
Given that vertices of ∆ABC are A (4, 2); B (6, 5) and C (1, 4).
(i) AD is the median from the vertex A.
∴ D is the mid point of BC.

then x = \(\frac{6+1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\) and y = \(\frac{5+4}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\)
Hence, coordinates of D is (\(\frac{7}{2}\), \(\frac{9}{2}\)).

(ii) Let P(x, y) be point on AD such that AP : PD = 2 : 1

then x = \(\frac{2\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)+1(4)}{2+1}\)
= \(\frac{7+4}{3}=\frac{11}{3}\)

and y = \(\frac{2\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)+1(2)}{2+1}\)
= \(\frac{9+2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}\)

Hence, Coordinates of P is (\(\frac{11}{3}\), \(\frac{11}{3}\)).

(iii) Le BE and CF are the medians of ∆ABC to AC and AB respectively.
∴ E and F are mid points of AC and AB respectively.

Coordinate of E are
x₁ = \(\frac{4+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\)
and y₁ = \(\frac{4+2}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\) = 3
Coordinate of E are (\(\frac{5}{2}\), 3)
Coordinate of F are
x₂ = \(\frac{4+6}{2}=\frac{10}{2}\) = 5
and y₂ = \(\frac{5+2}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\)
∴ Coordinate of F are (5, \(\frac{7}{2}\))
Now, Q divides BE such that BQ : QE = 2: 1

∴ Coordinate of Q are \(\left(\frac{2\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)+6(1)}{2+1}, \frac{2(3)+1(5)}{2+1}\right)\)

= \(\left(\frac{5+6}{3}, \frac{6+5}{3}\right)\) = \(\left(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{11}{3}\right)\)

Also, R divides CF such that CR : RF = 2 : 1

∴ Coordinate of R are = \(\left(\frac{2(5)+1(1)}{2+1}, \frac{2\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)+(4)}{2+1}\right)\)

= \(\left(\frac{10+1}{3}, \frac{7+4}{3}\right)\)

= \(\left(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{11}{3}\right)\)

(iv) From above discussion, it is clear that coordinates of P, Q and R are same and coincide at a point, is known as centroid of triangle, which divides each median in the ratio 2: 1.

(v) The vertices of given ∆ABC are
A (x₁, y₁); B (x₂, y₂) and C (x₃, y₃).

Let AD is median of E, ∆ABC.
∴ D is the mid point of BC then coordinates of D are \(\left(\frac{x_{2}+x_{3}}{2}, \frac{y_{2}+y_{3}}{2}\right)\)

Now, G be the centroid of ABC, which divides the median AD in the ratio 2: 1
∴ Coordinates of G are [using (iv)]

= \(\left[\frac{2\left(\frac{x_{2}+x_{3}}{2}\right)+1\left(x_{1}\right)}{2+1}, \frac{2\left(\frac{y_{2}+y_{3}}{2}\right)+1\left(y_{1}\right)}{2+1}\right]\)

= \(\left[\frac{x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{1}}{3}, \frac{y_{2}+y_{3}+y_{1}}{3}\right]\)

= \(\left[\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}}{3}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}+y_{3}}{3}\right]\).

ABCD is a rectangle formed by the points A (- 1, – 1), B (- 1, 4), C (5, 4) and D (5, – 1). P, Q R and S are the mid points
of AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Is the quadrilateral PQRS a square ? a rectangle? or a rhombus ? Justify your answer.
Solution:
Given: The vertices ot’ given rectangle ABCD are
A(- 1, – 1); B(- 1, 4); C(5, 4) and D (5, – 1).

∵ P is the mid point of AB.
∴ Coordinates of P are \(\left(\frac{-1-1}{2}, \frac{-1+4}{2}\right)=\left(-1, \frac{3}{2}\right)\)
∵ Q is the mid point of BC.
∴ Co-ordinates of Q are \(\left(\frac{-5+5}{2}, \frac{4+4}{2}\right)\) = (2, 4)
∵ R is the mid point of CD.
∴ Coordinates of R are \(\left(\frac{5+5}{2}, \frac{4+1}{2}\right)=\left(5, \frac{3}{2}\right)\)

∵ S is the mid point of AD.
∴ Co-ordinates of S are \(\left(\frac{5-1}{2}, \frac{-1-1}{2}\right)\) = (2, -1)

PQ = \(\sqrt{(2+1)^{2}+\left(4-\frac{3}{2}\right)^{2}}\)

= \(\sqrt{9 \times \frac{25}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{36+25}{4}}\)

PQ = \(\sqrt{\frac{61}{4}}\)

QR = \(\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+\left(\frac{3}{2}-4\right)^{2}}\)

= \(\sqrt{(3)^{2}+\left(\frac{3-8}{2}\right)^{2}}\)

= \(\sqrt{9+\frac{25}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{36+25}{4}}\)

QR = \(\sqrt{\frac{61}{4}}\)

RS = \(\sqrt{(2-5)^{2}+\left(-1-\frac{3}{2}\right)^{2}}\)

= \(\sqrt{9+\frac{25}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{36+25}{4}}\)

RS = \(\sqrt{\frac{61}{4}}\)

and SP = \(\sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+\left(\frac{3}{2}+1\right)^{2}}\)

SP = \(\sqrt{9+\frac{25}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{61}{4}}\)

Also PR = \(\sqrt{(5+1)^{2}+\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{3}{2}\right)^{2}}\)
PR = \(\sqrt{36+0}=\sqrt{36}\) = 6
QS = \(\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(4+1)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{0+25}=\sqrt{25}\) = 5.

Form above discussion it is clear that PQ = QR = RS = SP.
Also, PR ≠ QS.
⇒ All sides of quad. PQRS are equal but their diagonals are not equal.
Quad. PQRS is a rhombus.

y₁ = 0, y₂ = 2, y₃ = 1.
Area of ∆DEF = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [1 (2 – 1) + 1 (1 – 0) + 0 (0 – 2)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [1 + 1 + 0] = \(\frac{2}{2}\) = 1.

In ∆ABC,
x₁ = 0, x₂ = 2, x₃ = 0
y₁ = – 1, y₂ = 1, y₃ = 3.
Area of ∆ABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [0 (1 – 3) + 2 (3 + 1) + 0 (- 1 – 1)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [0 + 8 + 0] = \(\frac{8}{2}\) = 4
Required ratio = \(\frac{\text { Area of } \triangle \mathrm{DEF}}{\text { Area of } \triangle \mathrm{ABC}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Question 4.
Find the area of the quadrilateral whose vertices taken in order, are (- 4, – 2); (- 3, – 5); (3, – 2); (2, 3).
Solution:
Let co-ordinates of the given quadrilateral ABCD are A(- 4, – 2); B(-3, – 5); C(3, – 2) and D (2, 3).
Join AC then Quad. ABCD divides in two triangles
i.e. ∆ABC and ∆CDA

In ∆ABC
Here x₁ = – 4, x₂ = – 3, x₃ = 3
y₁ = – 2, y₂ = – 5, y₃ = – 2
Area of ∆ABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [- 4 (5 + 2) + (- 3) (- 2 + 2) + 3 (- 2 + 5)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [12 + 0 + 9] = \(\frac{21}{2}\) sq. units.

In ∆CDA
x₁ = 3, x₂ = 2, x₃ = – 4
y₁ = – 2, y₂ = 3, y₃= – 2
Area of ∆CDA = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [3 (3 + 2) + 2 (- 2 + 2) + (-4) (- 2 – 3)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [20 + 15 + 0] = \(\frac{35}{2}\) sq. units.

Now, Area of quadritateral ABCD = (Area of ∆ABC) + (Area of ∆ACD)
= \(\frac{21}{2}+\frac{35}{2}=\frac{21+35}{2}\)
= \(\frac{56}{2}\) = 28 sq. units.

Question 5.
You have studied in Class IX, (Chapter 9, Q. 3) that a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas. Verify this result for ∆ABC whose vertices are A(4, – 6), B(3, – 2) and C(5, 2).
Solution:
Given that coordinates of the vertices of ∆ABC are A(4, – 6); B (3, – 2) and C (5, 2)
Let CD is the median i.e. D is the mid point of AB which divides AABC into two pails i.e.

∆ADC and ∆CDB
Coordinates of D = \(\left(\frac{4+3}{2}, \frac{-6-3}{2}\right)\)
= \(\left(\frac{7}{2}, \frac{-8}{2}\right)\) = (3.5,- 4).

In ∆ADC
x₁ = 4, x₂ = 3.5, x₃ = 5
y₁ = – 6, y₂ = -4, y₃ = 2
Area of ∆ADC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [4(—4—2)+3.5(2+6)÷5(—6+4)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [- 24 + 28 – 101]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × -6
= 3 sq. units (∵ area cannot be negative).

In ∆CDB
x = 5, x = 35, x = 3
y = 2, y = – 4, y = – 2
Area of ∆CDB = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [x₁ (y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [5 (- 4 + 2) + 3.5 (- 2 – 2) + 3 (2 + 4)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [- 10 – 14 + 18]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × – 6 = – 3
= 3 sq. units(∵ area cannot be negalive)
From above discussion it is clear that area of ∆ADC = area of ∆CDB = 3 sq. units
Hence, a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas.

The blood groups of 30 students of Class VIII are recorded as follows:
A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O,
A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O.
Represent this data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Which is the most common, and which is the rarest, blood group among these students ?
Answer:
Frequency distribution table

From the frequency distribution table, it is very clear that the most common blood group is O and the rarest blood group is AB.

Question 2.
The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work were found as follows:

Construct a grouped frequency distribution table with class size 5 for the data given above taking the first interval as 0-5 (5 not included). What main features do you observe from this tabular representation?
Answer:
Grouped frequency distribution table

From the frequency distribution table, we can conclude that for the majority of engineers, s i.e., 31 engineers, the distance from their residence to their place to work is 5 km or more than 5 km but less than 20 km. For some engineers, i.e., 5 engineers, this distance is less than 5 km. Still, for some engineers, i.e., 4 engineers, this distance is 20 km or more than 20 km but less than 35 km.
