36. A hockey field is the playing surface for the game of hockey. Historically, the game
was played on natural turf (grass) but nowadays it is predominantly played on an
artificial turf. It is rectangular in shape – 100 yards by 60 yards. Goals consist of two
upright posts placed equidistant from the centre of the backline, joined at the top by a
horizontal crossbar must be 2.14 metres (7 feet) above the ground. Each team plays

Nanda Devi and Mullayanagri are 300 and 600 respectively. If the distance between the
peaks of two mountains is 1937 km, and the satellite is vertically above the mid – point
of the distance between the two mountains.
21. Adding the two equation and dividing by 10, we get x + y = 10 ---------(1)
Subtracting the two equations and dividing by -2, we get x – y = 1--------- (2)
By solving these equation (1) and (2), we get x = 11/2 and y = 9/2
22. Let ABC be a triangle in which, the bisector AD of ∠A bisects the side BC. We have to prove
that AB = AC. In Δ ABC, AD is the bisector of ∠A.
𝐴𝐵 𝐵𝐷 𝐴𝐵

AB = AC
Hence, the triangle ABC is isosceles.
23. In the given figure, PR and CR are both tangents drawn to the same circle from an external point
R
∴ PR=CR …(1)
Also, QR and CR are both tangent drawn to the same circle from an external point R.

26. Let us assume on the contrary that 5 - 3 is rational. Then, there exist co – prime positive
integers a and b such that
𝑎 𝑎
5 - 3 = 5 - = 3
𝑏 𝑏
5𝑏−𝑎
= 3
𝑏
5𝑏 −𝑎
3 is rational [∵ a,b are integers ∴ is a rational number]
𝑏
This contradicts the fact that 3 is irrational. So, our assumption is incorrect.
Hence, 5 - 3 is an irrational number.
27. Let α , β be the zeros of the polynomial ax2 – 6x – 6. Then,

Or, 6×(x+6)=18×x
Or, 6x + 36 = 18x
Or, 12x = 36
No. of white balls initially = 3
32. Let x be the usual speed of the plane
Increased speed=x+250
Time taken by plane in usual circumstaces, t 1 = speed / distance
t1 = 1500 / x
Time taken by plane due to delay, t2 = distance / (x+250)
Difference in times = Delay in departure
x2 + 250 x – 750000=0
Solving:
x 2 +1000x−750x−750000=0
x(x+1000)−750(x+1000)=0
(x−750)(x+1000)=0
x=750
∴ The usual speed of the plane is750 km/h.
OR
Let V be the volume of the pool and x the number of hours required by the second pipe alone to
fill the pool. Then, the first pipe takes (x+5) hours, while the third pipe takes (x−4) hours to fill
the pool. So, the parts of the pool filled by the first, second and third pipes in one hour are
𝑉 𝑉 𝑉
respectively , and .
𝑥 +5 𝑥 𝑥−4
Let the time taken by the first and second pipes to fill the pool simultaneously be t hours.
Then, the third pipe also takes the same time to fill the pool
𝑉 𝑉
∴( + ) t = Volume of the pool
𝑥 +5 𝑥
𝑉
Also, t = Volume of the pool
𝑥−4
𝑉 𝑉 𝑉
∴( + )t= t
𝑥 +5 𝑥 𝑥−4
1 1 1
+ =
𝑥 +5 𝑥 𝑥−4
(2x+5)(x−4)=x2+5x⇒x2−8x−20=0⇒x2−10x+2x−20=0⇒(x−10)(x+2)=0
⇒x=10 or x = −2
But x cannot be negative. So x=10
Hence the timings required by first, second and third pipes to fill the pool individually
are 15 hours, 10 hours and 6 hours respectively.
33.

Let ABC be the right angled triangle such that AB=15cm and AC=20cm
⇒BC2=152+202
⇒BC2=225+400=625
⇒BC=25cm
Let OB=x and OA=y
Applying pythagoras theorem in triangles OAB and OAC we have
AB2=OB2+OA2;AC2=OA2+OC2
⇒152=x2+y2;202=y2+(25−x)2
⇒x2+y2=225;(25−x)2+y2=400
{(25−x)2+y2}−{x2+y2}=400−225
⇒(25−x)2−x2=175⇒x=9
Putting x=9 in x2+y2=225 we get
81+y2=225⇒y2=144⇒y=12
Thus we have OA=12cm and OB=9cm
Volume of the double cone = volume of cone CAA' + volume of cone BAA'
=31π×(OA)2×OC+31π×(OA)2×OB=31π×122×16+31π×122×9

Surface area of the double cone = curved surface area of cone CAA′ + curved surface area of
cone BAA′
=π×OA×AC+π×OA×AB
=(π×12×20+π×12×15)cm2
=420πcm2=420×π=420×3.14
