n ∴ x + 100° = 180°
⇒ 165° × n = (n – 2) × 180° (∵ Two adjacent angles

⇒ 165° × n = n × 180° – 360°
⇒ x = 180° – 100°
⇒ 360° = n × 180° – n × 165°

adjacent sides) So, ∠A + ∠B = 180°
⇒ 80 = 2 × (x + x + 20)
⇒ 80 = 2 × (2x + 20) ⇒ 50° + ∠B = 180°
⇒ 80 = 4x + 40 ⇒ ∠B = 180° – 50°
⇒ 80 – 40 = 4x
⇒ 4x = 40 ∴ ∠B = 130°
40 Also, ∠A = ∠Cand ∠B = ∠D
∴ x = = 10
4 (∵ Opposite angles are equal)
∴ x + 20 = 10 + 20 = 30
Thus, the adjacent sides of the ∴ ∠C = 50° and ∠D = 130°.
parallelogram are 10 m and 30 m. 5. In figure, ABCD is a rhombus with
3. (i) Sum of all the four angles of a diagonals AC = 12 cm and CD = 16 cm.
quadrilateral = 360°
∴ 60° + 140° + 70° + x = 360°
⇒ 270° + x = 360°
∴ x = 360° – 270°
= 90°.
(ii) Using Angle sum property, We know that diagonals of a rhombus
x + 90° + 90° + 50° = 360° bisect each other at 90°.
⇒ x + 230° = 360°
AC
∴ x = 360° – 230° ∴ AO = OC = = 6 cm

(iii) Using Angle sum property, BD
and BO = OD = = 8 cm.

90° + 100° + 140° + x = 360°
Now, in right-angled ∆AOB,

AB2 = AO2 + OB2
x = 360° – 330°
(Using Pythagoras theorem)

= 6 2 + 82
(iv) Using Angle sum property,
= 36 + 64
⇒ 45° + 110° + x + 60° = 360°
∴ AB = 100 = 10 cm.
⇒ 215° + x = 360°
⇒ x = 360° – 215° Thus, required side of the rhombus is
10 cm.
∴ x = 145°.

6. In trapezium ABCD, AB y DC and
∠A = ∠B = 40°.

Since AB y DC and AD is a transversal. So, 2x = 18 or 3y – 1 = 32


So ∠A + ∠D = 180° 18
⇒ x= or 3y = 32 + 1
2
(Co-interior angles are supplementary)
33
⇒ 40° + ∠D = 180° ⇒ x =9 or y== 11.
3
⇒ ∠D = 180° – 40° (ii) In the given figure, ABCD is y gm.
∴ ∠D = 140° AD y BC and DE is a transversal.
Similarly, ∠C = 180° – ∠B = 140°.
7. As given two diagonals of a rectangle
are 3x + 2 and 2x + 3
But we know that diagonals of a
rectangle are equal to each other.
So, 3x + 2 = 2x + 3
⇒ 3x – 2x = 3 – 2 ∴ ∠ADC = ∠BCE
⇒ 30° + z = 80°
∴ x= 1
∴ z = 80° – 30° = 50°
Now, putting the value of x in given
Again, ∠ADB = ∠CBD
expressions, we get each diagonal
⇒ 30° = y
=3 × 1 + 2 Further, ∠ADC + ∠DAB = 180°
or 2×1+3 (Sum of adjacent angles)
= 5 cm. ⇒ 80° + x = 180°
8. (i) As we know that opposite sides of ⇒ x = 180° – 80° = 100°
parallelogram are equal. Thus, x = 100°, y = 30° and z = 50°.

1. (B) 36 = 6 or 36 = 6 × 6 = 62. Since 88 – 81 = 7 is smaller than
100 – 88 = 12
2. (B) 102 = 10 × 10 = 100.
3. (A) 441 = 21 × 21 = 212. Therefore, 88 is approximately 9.
4. (B) The square ends in 1. 13. (C) Area = Side2 = 432 = 43 × 43
5. (D) 122 + 352 = 144 + 1225 = 1369 = 1849 m2.

So, the given number should be

10. (B) 382 – 1400 = 1444 – 1400

So, 44 must be added to

11. (A) ∴ 60 = 22 × 3 × 5
∴ Required number= 60 × 3 × 5

20. (C) Using the given pattern, we get

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 360 6.
∴ 360 = 22 × 32 × 2 × 5

9. Let one of the required numbers be x.
Then the other number = 16x
Their product = x × 16x = 16x2
This is given to be 1296
∴ 1 6 x 2 = 1296 Thus, 2.56 = 1.6.
1296
or x2 = = 81 (ii)

Hence, the numbers are 144 and 9.

Reasons: × 71
Given equality is 0.4 = 0.2
Square of LHS = 0.4
Square of RHS = (0.2)2 = 0.2 × 0.2
So, 10224 should be divided by 71 to

make it a perfect square.
Since 0.4 is not equal to 0.04
OR
i.e.,0.4 ≠ 0.04
∴ 1575 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 7
∴ 0.4 ≠ 0.04

0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9. So, 10668 is not a
perfect square number
8. Square of 78 is an even number, as
square of 8 is 64 which is an even
number.
∴ 32.8328 = 5.729

= 169 + 289 = 458
12. Area of square = Side2
192 = 19 × 19 = 361
∴ Side2 = 57121
∴ 132 + 172 ≠ 192.
∴ Side = 57121
So, 13, 17 and 19 do not form a
Pythagorean triplet. or Side = 239 m.

13. We know that for m > 1, 5.
(m2 + 1)2 = (2m)2 + (m2 – 1)2
Let m2 + 1 = 5. Then m2 = 5 – 1 = 4
∴ m= 2
So, 2m = 2 × 2 = 4 and
m 2 – 1 = 22 – 1 = 3
Hence, the Pythagorean triplet is: 3, 4, ∴ 0.038809 = 0.197.

∴ Total number of students

But this is given to be 841.
∴ x2 = 841 ∴ 2 = 1.414 ≈ 1.41.
∴ x= 841 = 29 7.
So, 29 students stand in each row.

Put a = 4x and b = 3y Clearly, x + 2 is not a factor.
∴ (4x + 3y)(4x – 3y) = (4x)2 – (3y)2 18. (D) Factors of 4 are 1, 2 and 4

(ii) 3x = 3 × x and 9y = 3 × 3 × y = 2m(5n + 2) + 1(5n + 2)

According to the given conditions, we 6. 21x8 is a multiple of 2.
have
2 + 1 + 8 = 11
( x + 2) × 3 – 6 11 + 1 = 12 is a multiple of 3
=x+2–2=x
3 Also, 11 + 4 = 15 and 11 + 7 = 18 are
But * = x. multiples of 3
So, the result is the number (*) itself. Therefore, x = 1, 4 or 7.

7. 1784 = 1780 + 4 = 10 × 178 + 4 9. (9 + 4 + 8 + 6) – (2 + 9 + 2) = 27 – 13 = 14
1784 = 1700 + 80 + 4 14 – 3 = 11 is divisible by 11.
= 100 × 17 + 10 × 8 + 4.
So, the required remainder is 3.
8. Sum of the digits
10. 5 + 2 – x = 7 – x
= 1 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 31
To make (7 – x) as a multiple of 11, we
31 – 4 = 27 is divisible by 9.
must substitute x = 7
So, the required remainder is 4.
So, x = 7.
OR
3 years = 12 × 3 months = 36 months 11. The three-digit least number whose
digits are in ascending order is 123.
∵ Incoming of 1 month = ` 9250
∴ Incoming of 36 months = 36 × ` 9250 To make 123 as a multiple of 4, we
= ` 333000 should replace 3 by 4.

Thus, the man earns ` 333000 in 3 years. Therefore, the required number is 124.

So putting B = 2, ∠1 = 180° – 90° = 90°
Now, using angle sum property of a
quadrilateral, we have,
∠1 + x + 70° + 60° = 360°
⇒ 90° + x + 70° + 60° = 360°
