    LinearEquations in Two Variables


    Exercise 8A

    Question 1:

    1. The given equation is x = 5


    Take two solutions of the given equation as x = 5, y = 1 and x = 5, y = -1 Thus we get the following table:

    Plot points P(5,1) and Q(5,-1) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required graph.

    1. The given equation is y = -2


    Take two solutions of the given equation as x = 1, y = -2 and x = 2, y = -2. Thus we have the following table:

    Plot points P(1,-2) and Q(2,-2) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required


    graph.

    1. The given equation is x + 6 = 0

    ⇒ x = -6


    Let x = -6 & y = 1 x = -6 & y = -1

    Plot points P(-6,1) and Q(-6,-1) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required graph.

    1. The given equation is x + 7 = 0

    ⇒ x = -7


    Let x = -7, y = 2 and x = -7, y = 1 Thus we have the following table:

    Plot points P(-7,2) and Q(-7,1) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required graph.

    1. y = 0 represents the x-axis
    2. x = 0 represents the y-axis.

    Question 2:

    The given equation is y = 3x. Putting x = 1, y = 3 (1) = 3

    Putting x = 2, y = 3 (2) = 6


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,3) and (2,6) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    Take a point P on the left of y-axis such that the distance of point P from the y-axis is 2 units.

    Draw PQ parallel to y-axis cutting the line y = 3x at Q. Draw QN parallel to x-axis meeting y-axis at N.

    So, y = ON = -6.

    Question 3:

    The given equation is, x + 2y – 3 = 0

    ⇒ x = 3 – 2y

    Putting y = 1, x = 3 – (2 × 1) = 1

    Putting y = 0, x = 3 – (2 × 0) = 3 Thus, we have the following table:


    Plot points (1,1) and (3,0) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    Take a point Q on x-axis such that OQ = 5.

    Draw QP parallel to y-axis meeting the line (x = 3 – 2y) at P. Through P, draw PM parallel to x-axis cutting y-axis at M. So, y = OM = -1.

    Question 4:

    1. The given equation is y = x


    Let x = 1, then y = 1 and let x = 2, then y = 2 Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,1) and (2,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is y = -x


    Now, if x = 1, y = -1 and if x = 2, y = -2 Thus, we have the following table:


    Plot points (1,-1) and (2,-2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is y + 3x = 0

    ⇒ y = -3x

    Now, if x = -1, then y = -3 (-1) = 3


    And, if x = 1, then y = -3 (1) = -3 Thus we have the following table:


    Plot points (1,-3) and (-1,3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is 2x + 3y = 0

    ⇒ y =

    x

    Now, if x = 3, then y =

    × 3 = -2

    And, if x = -3, then y =

    × (-3) = 2


    Thus, we have the following table

    Plot points (3,-2) and (-3,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is 3x – 2y = 0

    ⇒ y =

    x Now, if x = 2, y =

    × 2 = 3

    And, if x = -2,

    y =

    × (-2) = -3


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (2,3) and (-2,-3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is 2x + y = 0

    ⇒ y = -2x

    Now, if x = 1, then y = -2 1 = -2


    And, if x = -1, then y = -2 (-1) = 2 Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,-2) and (-1,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    Question 5:

    The given equation is, 2x – 3y = 5

    ⇒ y =


    Now, if x = 4, then

    And, if x = -2, then


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (4,1) and (-2,-3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. When x = 4, draw a line parallel to y-axis at a distance of 4 units from y-axis to its right cutting the line at Q and through Q draw a line parallel to x-axis cutting y-axis which is found to be at a distance of 1 units above x-axis.

    Thus, y = 1 when x = 4.

    1. When y = 3, draw a line parallel to x-axis at a distance of 3 units from x-axis and above it, cutting the line at point P. Through P, draw a line parallel to y-axis meeting x-axis at a point which is found be 7 units to the right of y axis.

    Thus, when y = 3, x = 7.

    Question 6:

    The given equation is 2x + y = 6

    ⇒ y = 6 – 2x

    Now, if x = 1, then y = 6 – 2 (1) = 4


    And, if x = 2, then y = 6 – 2 (2) = 2 Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,4) and (2,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    We find that the line cuts the x-axis at a point P which is at a distance of 3 units to the right of y-axis.

    So, the co-ordinates of P are (3,0).

    Question 7:

    The given equation is 3x + 2y = 6

    ⇒ 2y = 6 – 3x

    ⇒ y =


    Now, if x = 2, then

    And, if x = 4, then


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (2, 0) and (4,-3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.


    We find that the line 3x + 2y = 6 cuts the y-axis at a point P which is 3 units above the x- axis.

    So, co-ordinates of P are (0,3).

  • Chapter 6 Lines and Angles RS Aggarwal Solution for Class 9th Maths

    Angles, Linesand Triangles

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4A

    1. Angle: Two rays having a common end point form an angle.
    2. Interior of an angle: The interior of ∠AOB is the set of all points in its plane, which lie on the same side of OA as B and also on same side of OB as A.
    3. Obtuse angle: An angle whose measure is more than 90° but less than 180°, is called an obtuse angle.
    4. Reflex angle: An angle whose measure is more than 180° but less than 360° is called a reflex angle.
    5. Complementary angles: Two angles are said to be complementary, if the sum of their measures is 90o.
    6. Supplementary angles: Two angles are said to be supplementary, if the sum of their measures is 180°.

    Question 2:

    ∠A = 36° 27′ 46″ and ∠B = 28° 43′ 39″

    ∴ Their sum = (36° 27′ 46″) + (28° 43′ 39″)

    Therefore, the sum ∠A + ∠B = 65° 11′ 25″

    Question 3:


    Let ∠A = 36° and ∠B = 24° 28′ 30″ Their difference = 36° – 24° 28′ 30″

    Thus the difference between two angles is ∠A – ∠B = 11° 31′ 30″

    Question 4:

      1. Complement of 58o = 90o – 58o = 32o
      2. Complement of 16o = 90 – 16o = 74o

      3. of a right angle =

        × 90o = 60o Complement of 60o = 90o – 60o = 30o
      4. 1o = 60′

    ⇒ 90o = 89o 60′

    Complement of 46o 30′ = 90o – 46o 30′ = 43o 30′ (v) 90o = 89o 59′ 60″

    Complement of 52o 43′ 20″ = 90o – 52o 43′ 20″

    = 37o 16′ 40″

    (vi) 90o = 89o 59′ 60″

    ∴ Complement of (68o 35′ 45″)

    = 90o – (68o 35′ 45″)

    = 89o 59′ 60″ – (68o 35′ 45″)

    = 21o 24′ 15″

    Question 5:

    1. Supplement of 63o = 180o – 63o = 117o
    2. Supplement of 138o = 180o – 138o = 42o

    3. of a right angle =

      × 90o = 54o

    ∴ Supplement of 54o = 180o – 54o = 126o

    1. 1o = 60′

    ⇒ 180o = 179o 60′

    Supplement of 75o 36′ = 180o – 75o 36′ = 104o 24′ (v) 1o = 60′, 1′ = 60″

    ⇒ 180o = 179o 59′ 60″

    Supplement of 124o 20′ 40″ = 180o – 124o 20′ 40″

    = 55o 39′ 20″

    (vi) 1o = 60′, 1′ = 60″

    ⇒ 180o = 179o 59′ 60″

    ∴ Supplement of 108o 48′ 32″ = 180o – 108o 48′ 32″

    = 71o 11′ 28″.

    Question 6:


      1. Let the required angle be xo Then, its complement = 90o – xo

    ∴ The measure of an angle which is equal to its complement is 45o.


      1. Let the required angle be xo Then, its supplement = 180o – xo

    ∴ The measure of an angle which is equal to its supplement is 90o.

    Question 7:


    Let the required angle be xo Then its complement is 90o – xo

    ∴ The measure of an angle which is 36o more than its complement is 63o.

    Question 8:


    Let the required angle be xo Then its supplement is 180o – xo


    ∴ The measure of an angle which is 25o less than its supplement is

    Question 9:


    Let the required angle be xo Then, its complement = 90o – xo

    ∴ The required angle is 72o.

    Question 10:


    Let the required angle be xo Then, its supplement is 180o – xo

    ∴ The required angle is 150o.

    Question 11:

    Let the required angle be xo


    Then, its complement is 90o – xo and its supplement is 180o – xo That is we have,

    ∴ The required angle is 60o.

    Question 12:

    Let the required angle be xo


    Then, its complement is 90o – xo and its supplement is 180o – xo

    ∴ The required angle is 45o.

    Question 13:


    Let the two required angles be xo and 180o – xo. Then,

    ⇒ 2x = 3(180 – x)

    ⇒ 2x = 540 – 3x

    ⇒ 3x + 2x = 540

    ⇒ 5x = 540

    ⇒ x = 108

    Thus, the required angles are 108o and 180o – xo = 180 o – 108o = 72o.

    Question 14:


    Let the two required angles be xo and 90o – xo. Then

    ⇒ 5x = 4(90 – x)

    ⇒ 5x = 360 – 4x

    ⇒ 5x + 4x = 360

    ⇒ 9x = 360

    ⇒ x =

    = 40

    Thus, the required angles are 40o and 90o – xo = 90 o – 40o = 50o.

    Question 15:

    Let the required angle be xo.

    Then, its complementary and supplementary angles are (90o – x) and (180o – x) respectively.

    Then, 7(90o – x) = 3 (180o – x) – 10o

    ⇒ 630o – 7x = 540o – 3x – 10o

    ⇒ 7x – 3x = 630o – 530o

    ⇒ 4x = 100o

    ⇒ x = 25o

    Thus, the required angle is 25o.

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4B

    Since ∠BOC and ∠COA form a linear pair of angles, we have

    ∠BOC + ∠COA = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 62o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180 – 62

    ∴ x = 118o

    Question 2:

    Since, ∠BOD and ∠DOA form a linear pair.

    ∠BOD + ∠DOA = 180o

    ∴ ∠BOD + ∠DOC + ∠COA = 180o

    ⇒ (x + 20)o + 55o + (3x – 5)o = 180o

    ⇒ x + 20 + 55 + 3x – 5 = 180

    ⇒ 4x + 70 = 180

    ⇒ 4x = 180 – 70 = 110

    ⇒ x =

    = 27.5

    ∴ ∠AOC = (3 × 27.5 – 5)o = 82.5-5 = 77.5o And, ∠BOD = (x + 20)o = 27.5o + 20o = 47.5o.

    Question 3:

    Since ∠BOD and ∠DOA from a linear pair of angles.

    ⇒ ∠BOD + ∠DOA = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BOD + ∠DOC + ∠COA = 180o

    ⇒ xo + (2x – 19)o + (3x + 7)o = 180o

    ⇒ 6x – 12 = 180

    ⇒ 6x = 180 + 12 = 192

    ⇒ x =

    = 32

    ⇒ x = 32

    ⇒ ∠AOC = (3x + 7)o = (3 32 + 7)o = 103o

    ⇒ ∠COD = (2x – 19)o = (2 32 – 19)o = 45o

    and ∠BOD = xo = 32o

    Question 4:

    x: y: z = 5: 4: 6

    The sum of their ratios = 5 + 4 + 6 = 15 But x + y + z = 180o

    [Since, XOY is a straight line]

    So, if the total sum of the measures is 15, then the measure of x is 5. If the sum of angles is 180o, then, measure of x =

    × 180 = 60

    And, if the total sum of the measures is 15, then the measure of y is 4. If the sum of the angles is 180o, then, measure of y =

    × 180 = 48 And ∠z = 180o – ∠x – ∠y

    = 180o – 60o – 48o

    = 180o – 108o = 72o

    ∴ x = 60, y = 48 and z = 72.

    Question 5:

    AOB will be a straight line, if two adjacent angles form a linear pair.

    ∴ ∠BOC + ∠AOC = 180o

    ⇒ (4x – 36)o + (3x + 20)o = 180o

    ⇒ 4x – 36 + 3x + 20 = 180

    ⇒ 7x – 16 = 180o

    ⇒ 7x = 180 + 16 = 196

    ⇒ x =

    = 28

    ∴ The value of x = 28.

    Question 6:

    Since ∠AOC and ∠AOD form a linear pair.

    ∴ ∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ 50o + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – 50o = 130o

    ∠AOD and ∠BOC are vertically opposite angles.

    ∠AOD = ∠BOC

    ⇒ ∠BOC = 130o

    ∠BOD and ∠AOC are vertically opposite angles.

    ∴ ∠BOD = ∠AOC

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 50o

    Question 7:

    Since ∠COE and ∠DOF are vertically opposite angles, we have,

    ∠COE = ∠DOF

    ⇒ ∠z = 50o

    Also ∠BOD and ∠COA are vertically opposite angles. So, ∠BOD = ∠COA

    ⇒ ∠t = 90o

    As ∠COA and ∠AOD form a linear pair,

    ∠COA + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠COA + ∠AOF + ∠FOD = 180o [∠t = 90o]

    ⇒ t + x + 50o = 180o

    ⇒ 90o + xo + 50o = 180o

    ⇒ x + 140 = 180

    ⇒ x = 180 – 140 = 40

    Since ∠EOB and ∠AOF are vertically opposite angles So, ∠EOB = ∠AOF

    ⇒ y = x = 40

    Thus, x = 40 = y = 40, z = 50 and t = 90

    Question 8:

    Since ∠COE and ∠EOD form a linear pair of angles.

    ⇒ ∠COE + ∠EOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠COE + ∠EOA + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ 5x + ∠EOA + 2x = 180

    ⇒ 5x + ∠BOF + 2x = 180

    [∴ ∠EOA and BOF are vertically opposite angles so, ∠EOA = ∠BOF]

    ⇒ 5x + 3x + 2x = 180

    ⇒ 10x = 180

    ⇒ x = 18

    Now ∠AOD = 2xo = 2 × 18o = 36o

    ∠COE = 5xo = 5 × 18o = 90o

    and, ∠EOA = ∠BOF = 3xo = 3 × 18o = 54o

    Question 9:

    Let the two adjacent angles be 5x and 4x. Now, since these angles form a linear pair. So, 5x + 4x = 180o

    ⇒ 9x = 180o

    ⇒ x =

    = 20

    ∴ The required angles are 5x = 5x = 5 20o = 100o and 4x = 4 × 20o = 80o

    Question 10:

    Let two straight lines AB and CD intersect at O and let ∠AOC = 90o.

    Now, ∠AOC = ∠BOD [Vertically opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 90o

    Also, as ∠AOC and ∠AOD form a linear pair.

    ⇒ 90o + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – 90o = 90o

    Since, ∠BOC = ∠AOD [Verticallty opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠BOC = 90o

    Thus, each of the remaining angles is 90o.

    Question 11:

    Since, ∠AOD and ∠BOC are vertically opposite angles.

    ∴ ∠AOD = ∠BOC

    Now, ∠AOD + ∠BOC = 280o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠AOD + ∠AOD = 280o

    ⇒ 2∠AOD = 280o

    ⇒ ∠AOD =

    = 140o

    ⇒ ∠BOC = ∠AOD = 140o

    As, ∠AOC and ∠AOD form a linear pair. So, ∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOC + 140o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOC = 180o – 140o = 40o

    Since, ∠AOC and ∠BOD are vertically opposite angles.

    ∴ ∠AOC = ∠BOD

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 40o

    ∴ ∠BOC = 140o, ∠AOC = 40o , ∠AOD = 140o and ∠BOD = 40o.

    Question 12:

    Since ∠COB and ∠BOD form a linear pair So, ∠COB + ∠BOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 180o – ∠COB …. (1)

    Also, as ∠COA and ∠AOD form a linear pair. So, ∠COA + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – ∠COA

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – ∠COB …. (2)

    [Since, OC is the bisector of ∠AOB, ∠BOC = ∠AOC] From (1) and (2), we get,

    ∠AOD = ∠BOD (Proved)

    Question 13:

    Let QS be a perpendicular to AB. Now, ∠PQS = ∠SQR

    Because angle of incident = angle of reflection

    ⇒ ∠PQS = ∠SQR =

    = 56o

    Since QS is perpendicular to AB, ∠PQA and ∠PQS are complementary angles. Thus, ∠PQA + ∠PQS = 90o

    ⇒ ∠PQA + 56o = 90o

    ⇒ ∠PQA = 90o – 56o = 34o

    Question 14:

    Given : AB and CD are two lines which are intersecting at O. OE is a ray bisecting the

    ∠BOD. OF is a ray opposite to ray OE.

    To Prove: ∠AOF = ∠COF

    Proof : Since

    and

    are two opposite rays,

    is a straight line passing through O.

    ∴ ∠AOF = ∠BOE and ∠COF = ∠DOE

    [Vertically opposite angles] But ∠BOE = ∠DOE (Given)

    ∴ ∠AOF = ∠COF

    Hence, proved.

    Question 15:

    Given:

    is the bisector of ∠BCD and

    is the bisector of ∠ACD. To Prove: ∠ECF = 90o

    Proof: Since ∠ACD and ∠BCD forms a linear pair.

    ∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180o

    ∠ACE + ∠ECD + ∠DCF + ∠FCB = 180o

    ∠ECD + ∠ECD + ∠DCF + ∠DCF = 180o

    because ∠ACE = ∠ECD and ∠DCF = ∠FCB

    2(∠ECD) + 2 (∠CDF) = 180o

    2(∠ECD + ∠DCF) = 180o

    ∠ECD + ∠DCF =

    = 90o

    ∠ECF = 90o (Proved)

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4C

    Since AB and CD are given to be parallel lines and t is a transversal. So, ∠5 = ∠1 = 70o [Corresponding angles are equal]

    ∠3 = ∠1 = 70o [Vertically opp. Angles]

    ∠3 + ∠6 = 180o [Co-interior angles on same side]

    ∴ ∠6 = 180o – ∠3

    = 180o – 70o = 110o

    ∠6 = ∠8 [Vertically opp. Angles]

    ⇒ ∠8 = 110o

    ⇒ ∠4 + ∠5 = 180o [Co-interior angles on same side]

    ∠4 = 180o – 70o = 110o

    ∠2 = ∠4 = 110o [ Vertically opposite angles]

    ∠5 = ∠7 [Vertically opposite angles] So, ∠7 = 70o

    ∴ ∠2 = 110o, ∠3 = 70o , ∠4 = 110o, ∠5 = 70o, ∠6 = 110o, ∠7 = 70o and ∠8 = 110o.

    Question 2:

    Since ∠2 : ∠1 = 5 : 4.

    Let ∠2 and ∠1 be 5x and 4x respectively.

    Now, ∠2 + ∠1 = 180o , because ∠2 and ∠1 form a linear pair. So, 5x + 4x = 180o

    ⇒ 9x = 180o

    ⇒ x = 20o

    ∴ ∠1 = 4x = 4 × 20o = 80o And ∠2 = 5x = 5 × 20o = 100o

    ∠3 = ∠1 = 80o [Vertically opposite angles]

    And ∠4 = ∠2 = 100o [Vertically opposite angles]

    ∠1 = ∠5 and ∠2 = ∠6 [Corresponding angles] So, ∠5 = 80o and ∠6 = 100o

    ∠8 = ∠6 = 100o [Vertically opposite angles] And ∠7 = ∠5 = 80o [Vertically opposite angles]

    Thus, ∠1 = 80o, ∠2 = 100o, ∠3 = ∠80o, ∠4 = 100o, ∠5 = 80o, ∠6 = 100o, ∠7 = 80o and

    ∠8 = 100o.

    Question 3:

    Given: AB || CD and AD || BC To Prove: ∠ADC = ∠ABC

    Proof: Since AB || CD and AD is a transversal. So sum of consecutive interior angles is

    180o.

    ⇒ ∠BAD + ∠ADC = 180o ….(i)

    Also, AD || BC and AB is transversal. So, ∠BAD + ∠ABC = 180o ….(ii) From (i) and (ii) we get:

    ∠BAD + ∠ADC = ∠BAD + ∠ABC

    ⇒ ∠ADC = ∠ABC (Proved)

    Question 4:


    1. Through E draw EG || CD. Now since EG||CD and ED is a transversal.

    So, ∠GED = ∠EDC = 65o [Alternate interior angles] Since EG || CD and AB || CD,

    EG||AB and EB is transversal.

    So, ∠BEG = ∠ABE = 35o [Alternate interior angles] So, ∠DEB = xo

    ⇒ ∠BEG + ∠GED = 35o + 65o = 100o.

    Hence, x = 100.


    1. Through O draw OF||CD.

    Now since OF || CD and OD is transversal.

    ∠CDO + ∠FOD = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ 25o + ∠FOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FOD = 180o – 25o = 155o

    As OF || CD and AB || CD [Given] Thus, OF || AB and OB is a transversal.

    So, ∠ABO + ∠FOB = 180o [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ 55o + ∠FOB = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FOB = 180o – 55o = 125o

    Now, xo = ∠FOB + ∠FOD = 125o + 155o = 280o.

    Hence, x = 280.


    1. Through E, draw EF || CD.

    Now since EF || CD and EC is transversal.

    ∠FEC + ∠ECD = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ ∠FEC + 124o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FEC = 180o – 124o = 56o

    Since EF || CD and AB ||CD

    So, EF || AB and AE is a trasveral.

    So, ∠BAE + ∠FEA = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ∴ 116o + ∠FEA = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FEA = 180o – 116o = 64o

    Thus, xo = ∠FEA + ∠FEC

    = 64o + 56o = 120o.

    Hence, x = 120.

    Question 5:

    Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal.

    So, ∠ABC = ∠BCD [atternate interior angles]

    ⇒ 70o = xo + ∠ECD ….(i)

    Now, CD || EF and CE is transversal.

    So, ∠ECD + ∠CEF = 180o

    ∴ ∠ECD + 130o = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ ∠ECD = 180o – 130o = 50o

    Putting ∠ECD = 50o in (i) we get, 70o = xo + 50o

    ⇒ x = 70 – 50 = 20

    Question 6:


    Through C draw FG || AE

    Now, since CG || BE and CE is a transversal.

    So, ∠GCE = ∠CEA = 20o

    ∴ ∠DCG = 130o – ∠GCE

    = 130o – 20o = 110o

    [Alternate angles]

    Also, we have AB || CD and FG is a transversal.

    So, ∠BFC = ∠DCG = 110o

    As, FG || AE, AF is a transversal.

    [Corresponding angles]

    ∠BFG = ∠FAE [Corresponding angles]

    ∴ xo = ∠FAE = 110o. Hence, x = 110

    Question 7:

    Given: AB || CD

    To Prove: ∠BAE – ∠DCE = ∠AEC

    Construction : Through E draw EF || AB Proof : Since EF || AB, AE is a transversal. So, ∠BAE + ∠AEF = 180O ….(i)

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o] As EF || AB and AB || CD [Given]

    So, EF || CD and EC is a transversal.

    So, ∠FEC + ∠DCE = 180o ….(ii)

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o] From (i) and (ii) we get,

    ∠BAE + ∠AEF = ∠FEC + ∠DCE

    ⇒ ∠BAE – ∠DCE = ∠FEC – ∠AEF = ∠AEC [Proved]

    Question 8:

    Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal.

    So, ∠BCD = ∠ABC = xo

    [Alternate angles]

    As BC || ED and CD is a transversal.

    ∠BCD + ∠EDC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BCD + 75o =180o

    ⇒ ∠BCD = 180o – 75o = 105o

    ∠ABC = 105o

    ∴ xo = ∠ABC = 105o Hence, x = 105.

    [since ∠BCD = ∠ABC]

    Question 9:


    Through F, draw KH || AB || CD

    Now, KF || CD and FG is a transversal.

    ⇒ ∠KFG = ∠FGD = ro …. (i) [alternate angles]

    Again AE || KF, and EF is a transversal.

    So, ∠AEF + ∠KFE = 180o

    ∠KFE = 180o – po …. (ii) Adding (i) and (ii) we get,

    ∠KFG + ∠KFE = 180 – p + r

    ⇒ ∠EFG = 180 – p + r

    ⇒ q = 180 – p + r i.e., p + q – r = 180

    Question 10:

    Since AB || PQ and EF is a transversal.

    So, ∠CEB = ∠EFQ [Corresponding angles]

    ⇒ ∠EFQ = 75o

    ⇒ ∠EFG + ∠GFQ = 75o

    ⇒ 25o + yo = 75o

    ⇒ y = 75 – 25 = 50

    Also, ∠BEF + ∠EFQ = 180o

    ∠BEF = 180o – ∠EFQ

    = 180o – 75o

    ∠BEF = 105o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ∴ ∠FEG + ∠GEB = ∠BEF = 105o

    ⇒ ∠FEG = 105o – ∠GEB = 105o – 20o = 85o

    In ∆EFG we have,

    xo + 25o + ∠FEG = 180o

    Hence, x = 70.

    Question 11:

    Since AB || CD and AC is a transversal.

    So, ∠BAC + ∠ACD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACD = 180o – ∠BAC

    = 180o – 75o = 105o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ ∠ECF = ∠ACD [Vertically opposite angles]

    ∠ECF = 105o

    Now in ∆CEF,

    ∠ECF + ∠CEF + ∠EFC =180o

    ⇒ 105o + xo + 30o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180 – 30 – 105 = 45

    Hence, x = 45.

    Question 12:

    Since AB || CD and PQ a transversal.

    So, ∠PEF = ∠EGH [Corresponding angles]

    ⇒ ∠EGH = 85o

    ∠EGH and ∠QGH form a linear pair. So, ∠EGH + ∠QGH = 180o

    ⇒ ∠QGH = 180o – 85o = 95o

    Similarly, ∠GHQ + 115o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠GHQ = 180o – 115o = 65o

    In ∆GHQ, we have, xo + 65o + 95o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180 – 65 – 95 = 180 – 160

    ∴ x = 20

    Question 13:

    Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal. So, ∠ABC = ∠BCD

    ⇒ x = 35

    Also, AB || CD and AD is a transversal. So, ∠BAD = ∠ADC

    ⇒ z = 75

    In ∆ABO, we have,

    ∠AOB + ∠BAO + ∠BOA = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 75o + yo = 180o

    ⇒ 35 + 75 + y = 180

    ⇒ y = 180 – 110 = 70

    ∴ x = 35, y = 70 and z = 75.

    Question 14:

    Since AB || CD and PQ is a transversal. So, y = 75 [Alternate angle]

    Since PQ is a transversal and AB || CD, so x + APQ = 180o

    [Sum of consecutive interior angles]

    ⇒ xo = 180o – APQ

    ⇒ x = 180 – 75 = 105

    Also, AB || CD and PR is a transversal.

    So, ∠APR = ∠PRD [Alternate angle]

    ⇒ ∠APQ + ∠QPR = ∠PRD [Since ∠APR = ∠APQ + ∠QPR]

    ⇒ 75o + zo = 125o

    ⇒ z = 125 – 75 = 50

    ∴ x = 105, y = 75 and z = 50.

    Question 15:

    ∠PRQ = xo = 60o

    [vertically opposite angles]

    Since EF || GH, and RQ is a transversal. So, ∠x = ∠y [Alternate angles]

    ⇒ y = 60

    AB || CD and PR is a transversal.

    So, ∠PRD = ∠APR [Alternate angles]

    ⇒ ∠PRQ + ∠QRD = ∠APR [since ∠PRD = ∠PRQ + ∠QRD]

    ⇒ x + ∠QRD = 110o

    ⇒ ∠QRD = 110o – 60o = 50o

    In ∆QRS, we have,

    ∠QRD + to + yo = 180o

    ⇒ 50 + t + 60 = 180

    ⇒ t = 180 – 110 = 70

    Since, AB || CD and GH is a transversal So, zo = to = 70o [Alternate angles]

    ∴ x = 60 , y = 60, z = 70 and t = 70

    Question 16:

    1. Lines l and m will be parallel if 3x – 20 = 2x + 10

    [Since, if corresponding angles are equal, lines are parallel]

    ⇒ 3x – 2x = 10 + 20

    ⇒ x = 30

    1. Lines will be parallel if (3x + 5)o + 4xo = 180o

    [if sum of pairs of consecutive interior angles is 180o, the lines are parallel] So, (3x + 5) + 4x = 180

    ⇒ 3x + 5 + 4x = 180

    ⇒ 7x = 180 – 5 = 175

    ⇒ x =

    = 25

    Question 17:


    Given: Two lines m and n are perpendicular to a given line l.

    To Prove: m || n Proof : Since m ⊥ l So, ∠1 = 90o Again, since n ⊥ l

    ∠2 = 90o

    ∴ ∠1 = ∠2 = 90o

    But ∠1 and ∠2 are the corresponding angles made by the transversal l with lines m and n and they are proved to be equal.

    Thus, m || n.

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4D

    Since, sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + 76o + 48o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A = 180o – 124o = 56o

    ∴ ∠A = 56o

    Question 2:

    Let the measures of the angles of a triangle are (2x)o, (3x)o and (4x)o. Then, 2x + 3x + 4x = 180 [sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o ]

    ⇒ 9x = 180

    ⇒ x =

    = 20

    ∴ The measures of the required angles are: 2x = (2 × 20)o = 40o

    3x = (3 × 20)o = 60o

    4x = (4 × 20)o = 80o

    Question 3:

    Let 3∠A = 4∠B = 6∠C = x (say) Then, 3∠A = x

    ⇒ ∠A =

    4∠B = x

    ⇒ ∠B =

    and 6∠C = x

    ⇒ ∠C =

    As ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    Question 4:

    ∠A + ∠B = 108o [Given]

    But as ∠A, ∠B and ∠C are the angles of a triangle,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 108o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ C = 180o – 108o = 72o

    Also, ∠B + ∠C = 130o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠B + 72o = 130o

    ⇒ ∠B = 130o – 72o = 58o Now as, ∠A + ∠B = 108o

    ⇒ ∠A + 58o = 108o

    ⇒ ∠A = 108o – 58o = 50o

    ∴ ∠A = 50o, ∠B = 58o and ∠C = 72o.

    Question 5:

    Since. ∠A , ∠B and ∠C are the angles of a triangle . So, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    Now, ∠A + ∠B = 125o [Given]

    ∴ 125o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 180o – 125o = 55o

    Also, ∠A + ∠C = 113o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠A + 55o = 113o

    ⇒ ∠A = 113o – 55o = 58o Now as ∠A + ∠B = 125o

    ⇒ 58o + ∠B = 125o

    ⇒ ∠B = 125o – 58o = 67o

    ∴ ∠A = 58o, ∠B = 67o and ∠C = 55o.

    Question 6:

    Since, ∠P, ∠Q and ∠R are the angles of a triangle. So, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180o ….(i)

    Now, ∠P – ∠Q = 42o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠P = 42o + ∠Q ….(ii)

    and ∠Q – ∠R = 21o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠R = ∠Q – 21o ….(iii)

    Substituting the value of ∠P and ∠R from (ii) and (iii) in (i), we get,

    ⇒ 42o + ∠Q + ∠Q + ∠Q – 21o = 180o

    ⇒ 3∠Q + 21o = 180o

    ⇒ 3∠Q = 180o – 21o = 159o

    ∠Q =

    = 53o

    ∴ ∠P = 42o + ∠Q

    = 42o + 53o = 95o

    ∠R = ∠Q – 21o

    = 53o – 21o = 32o

    ∴ ∠P = 95o, ∠Q = 53o and ∠R = 32o.

    Question 7:

    Given that the sum of the angles A and B of a ABC is 116o, i.e., ∠A + ∠B = 116o. Since, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    So, 116o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 180o – 116o = 64o

    Also, it is given that:

    ∠A – ∠B = 24o

    ⇒ ∠A = 24o + ∠B

    Putting, ∠A = 24o + ∠B in ∠A + ∠B = 116o, we get,

    ⇒ 24o + ∠B + ∠B = 116o

    ⇒ 2∠B + 24o = 116o

    ⇒ 2∠B = 116o – 24o = 92o

    ∠B =

    = 46o

    Therefore, ∠A = 24o + 46o = 70o

    ∴ ∠A = 70o, ∠B = 46o and ∠C = 64o.

    Question 8:

    Let the two equal angles, A and B, of the triangle be xo each. We know,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ xo + xo + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 2xo + ∠C = 180o ….(i) Also, it is given that,

    ∠C = xo + 18o ….(ii)

    Substituting ∠C from (ii) in (i), we get,

    ⇒ 2xo + xo + 18o = 180o

    ⇒ 3xo = 180o – 18o = 162o x =

    = 54o

    Thus, the required angles of the triangle are 54o, 54o and xo + 18o = 54o + 18o = 72o.

    Question 9:

    Let ∠C be the smallest angle of ABC. Then, ∠A = 2∠C and B = 3∠C

    Also, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 2∠C + 3∠C + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 6∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 30o

    So, ∠A = 2∠C = 2 (30o) = 60o

    ∠B = 3∠C = 3 (30o) = 90o

    ∴ The required angles of the triangle are 60o, 90o, 30o.

    Question 10:

    Let ABC be a right angled triangle and ∠C = 90o Since, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 180o – ∠C = 180o – 90o = 90o

    Suppose ∠A = 53o

    Then, 53o + ∠B = 90o

    ⇒ ∠B = 90o – 53o = 37o

    ∴ The required angles are 53o, 37o and 90o.

    Question 11:

    Let ABC be a triangle. Given, ∠A + ∠B = ∠C

    We know, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 2∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C =

    = 90o

    So, we find that ABC is a right triangle, right angled at C.

    Question 12:

    Given : ∆ABC in which ∠A = 90o, AL ⊥ BC To Prove: ∠BAL = ∠ACB

    Proof :

    In right triangle ∆ABC,

    ⇒ ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ABC + 90o + ∠ACB = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o – 90o

    ∴ ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 90o

    ⇒ ∠ ACB = 90o – ∠ABC ….(1)

    Similarly since ∆ABL is a right triangle, we find that,

    ∠BAL = 90o – ∠ABC …(2)

    Thus from (1) and (2), we have

    ∴ ∠BAL = ∠ACB (Proved)

    Question 13:

    Let ABC be a triangle. So, ∠A < ∠B + ∠C

    Adding A to both sides of the inequality,

    ⇒ 2∠A < ∠A + ∠B + ∠C

    ⇒ 2∠A < 180o

    ⇒ ∠A <

    = 90o

    [Since ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o]

    Similarly, ∠B < ∠A + ∠C

    ⇒ ∠B < 90o

    and ∠C < ∠A + ∠B

    ⇒ ∠C < 90o

    ∆ABC is an acute angled triangle.

    Question 14:

    Let ABC be a triangle and ∠B > ∠A + ∠C Since, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 180o – ∠B Therefore, we get

    ∠B > 180o – ∠B

    Adding ∠B on both sides of the inequality, we get,

    ⇒ ∠B + ∠B > 180o – ∠B + ∠B

    ⇒ 2∠B > 180o

    ⇒ ∠B >

    = 90o

    i.e., ∠B > 90o which means ∠B is an obtuse angle.

    ∆ABC is an obtuse angled triangle.

    Question 15:

    Since ∠ACB and ∠ACD form a linear pair. So, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB + 128o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB = 180o – 128 = 52o

    Also, ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ 43o + 52o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ 95o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 180o – 95o = 85o

    ∴ ∠ACB = 52o and ∠BAC = 85o.

    Question 16:

    As ∠DBA and ∠ABC form a linear pair. So, ∠DBA + ∠ABC = 180o

    ⇒ 106o + ∠ABC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ABC = 180o – 106o = 74o

    Also, ∠ACB and ∠ACE form a linear pair. So, ∠ACB + ∠ACE = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB + 118o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB = 180o – 118o = 62o

    In ∠ABC, we have,

    ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180o 74o + 62o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ 136o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 180o – 136o = 44o

    ∴ In triangle ABC, ∠A = 44o, ∠B = 74o and ∠C = 62o

    Question 17:

    (i) ∠EAB + ∠BAC = 180o [Linear pair angles]

    110o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 180o – 110o = 70o

    Again, ∠BCA + ∠ACD = 180o [Linear pair angles]

    ⇒ ∠BCA + 120o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BCA = 180o – 120o = 60o

    Now, in ∆ABC,

    ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180o

    xo + 70o + 60o = 180o

    ⇒ x + 130o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180o – 130o = 50o

    ∴ x = 50 (ii)

    In ∆ABC,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 30o + 40o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 70o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 180o – 70o = 110o

    Now ∠BCA + ∠ACD = 180o [Linear pair]

    ⇒ 110o + ∠ACD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACD = 180o – 110o = 70o In ∆ECD,

    ⇒ ∠ECD + ∠CDE + ∠CED = 180o

    ⇒ 70o + 50o + ∠CED = 180o

    ⇒ 120o + ∠CED = 180o

    ∠CED = 180o – 120o = 60o

    Since ∠AED and ∠CED from a linear pair So, ∠AED + ∠CED = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 60o = 180o

    ⇒ xo = 180o – 60o = 120o

    ∴ x = 120 (iii)

    ∠EAF = ∠BAC [Vertically opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 60o

    In ∆ABC, exterior ∠ACD is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles. So, ∠ACD = ∠BAC + ∠ABC

    ⇒ 115o = 60o + xo

    ⇒ xo = 115o – 60o = 55o

    ∴ x = 55 (iv)

    Since AB || CD and AD is a transversal. So, ∠BAD = ∠ADC

    ⇒ ∠ADC = 60o

    In ∠ECD, we have,

    ∠E + ∠C + ∠D = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 45o + 60o = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 105o = 180o

    ⇒ xo = 180o – 105o = 75o

    ∴ x = 75 (v)

    In ∆AEF,

    Exterior ∠BED = ∠EAF + ∠EFA

    ⇒ 100o = 40o + ∠EFA

    ⇒ ∠EFA = 100o – 40o = 60o

    Also, ∠CFD = ∠EFA [Vertically Opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠CFD = 60o Now in ∆FCD,

    Exterior ∠BCF = ∠CFD + ∠CDF

    ⇒ 90o = 60o + xo

    ⇒ xo = 90o – 60o = 30o

    ∴ x = 30 (vi)

    In ∆ABE, we have,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠E = 180o

    ⇒ 75o + 65o + ∠E = 180o

    ⇒ 140o + ∠E = 180o

    ⇒ ∠E = 180o – 140o = 40o

    Now, ∠CED = ∠AEB [Vertically opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠CED = 40o

    Now, in ∆CED, we have,

    ∠C + ∠E + ∠D = 180o

    ⇒ 110o + 40o + xo = 180o

    ⇒ 150o + xo = 180o

    ⇒ xo = 180o – 150o = 30o

    ∴ x = 30

    Question 18:


    Produce CD to cut AB at E.

    Now, in ∆BDE, we have,

    Exterior ∠CDB = ∠CEB + ∠DBE

    ⇒ xo = ∠CEB + 45o In ∆AEC, we have,

    …..(i)

    Exterior ∠CEB = ∠CAB + ∠ACE

    = 55o + 30o = 85o

    Putting ∠CEB = 85o in (i), we get, xo = 85o + 45o = 130o

    ∴ x = 130

    Question 19:

    The angle ∠BAC is divided by AD in the ratio 1 : 3. Let ∠BAD and ∠DAC be y and 3y, respectively. As BAE is a straight line,

    ∠BAC + ∠CAE = 180o

    [linear pair]

    ⇒ ∠BAD + ∠DAC + ∠CAE = 180o

    ⇒ y + 3y + 108o = 180o

    ⇒ 4y = 180o – 108o = 72o

    ⇒ y =

    = 18o Now, in ∆ABC,

    ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠BAC = 180o

    y + x + 4y = 180o

    [Since, ∠ABC = ∠BAD (given AD = DB) and ∠BAC = y + 3y = 4y]

    ⇒ 5y + x = 180

    ⇒ 5 × 18 + x = 180

    ⇒ 90 + x = 180

    ∴ x = 180 – 90 = 90

    Question 20:

    Given : A ∆ABC in which BC, CA and AB are produced to D, E and F respectively. To prove : Exterior ∠DCA + Exterior ∠BAE + Exterior ∠FBD = 360o

    Proof : Exterior ∠DCA = ∠A + ∠B ….(i) Exterior ∠FAE = ∠B + ∠C ….(ii) Exterior ∠FBD = ∠A + ∠C ….(iii) Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get,

    Ext. ∠DCA + Ext. ∠FAE + Ext. ∠FBD

    = ∠A + ∠B + ∠B + ∠C + ∠A + ∠C

    = 2∠A + 2∠B + 2∠C

    = 2 (∠A + ∠B + ∠C)

    = 2 × 180o

    [Since, in triangle the sum of all three angle is 180o]

    = 360o

    Hence, proved.

    Question 21:

    In ∆ACE, we have,

    ∠A + ∠C + ∠E = 180o ….(i) In ∆BDF, we have,

    ∠B + ∠D + ∠F = 180o ….(ii)

    Adding both sides of (i) and (ii), we get,

    ∠A + ∠C +∠E + ∠B + ∠D + ∠F = 180o + 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 360o.

    Question 22:

    Given : In ∆ABC, bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O and ∠A = 70o In ∆BOC, we have,

    ∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180o

    = 180o – 55o = 125o

    ∴ ∠BOC = 125o.

    Question 23:

    We have a ∆ABC whose sides AB and AC have been procued to D and E. A = 40o and bisectors of ∠CBD and ∠BCE meet at O.

    In ∆ABC, we have, Exterior ∠CBD = C + 40o

    And exterior ∠BCE = B + 40o

    Now, in ∆BCO, we have,

    = 50o + 20o

    = 70o

    Thus, ∠BOC = 70o

    Question 24:

    In the given ∆ABC, we have,

    ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 3 : 2 : 1

    Let ∠A = 3x, ∠B = 2x, ∠C = x. Then,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 3x + 2x + x = 180o

    ⇒ 6x = 180o

    ⇒ x = 30o

    ∠A = 3x = 3 30o = 90o

    ∠B = 2x = 2 30o = 60o

    and, ∠C = x = 30o

    Now, in ∆ABC, we have,

    Ext ∠ACE = ∠A + ∠B = 90o + 60o = 150o

    ∠ACD + ∠ECD = 150o

    ⇒ ∠ECD = 150o – ∠ACD

    ⇒ ∠ECD = 150o – 90o

    ⇒ ∠ECD= 60o

    [since , AD ⊥ CD, ∠ACD = 90o]

    Question 25:

    In ∆ABC, AN is the bisector of ∠A and AM ⊥ BC. Now in ∆ABC we have;

    ∠A = 180o – ∠B – ∠C

    ⇒ ∠A = 180o – 65o – 30o

    = 180o – 95o

    = 85o

    Now, in ∆ANC we have;

    Thus, ∠MAN =

    i.e. x = 0.324324 ….(i)

    ⇒ 1000x = 324.324324….(ii)

    Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get 999x = 324

    ⇒ x = =

    Hence, 0. =

    1. Let x = 0.

    i.e. x = 0.177 …. (i)

    ⇒ 10x = 1.777 …. (ii)

    and 100x = 17.777…. (iii) Subtracting (ii) from (iii), we get 90x = 16

    ⇒ x = =

    Hence, 0. =

    1. Let x = 0.

    i.e. x = 0.544 …. (i)

    ⇒ 10 x = 5.44 …. (ii) and 100x = 54.44 ….(iii)

    Subtracting (ii) from (iii), we get 90x = 49

    ⇒ x =

    Hence, 0. =

    (vii) Let x = Let x = 0.1 i.e. x = 0.16363 …. (i)

    ⇒ 10x = 1.6363 …. (ii)

    and 1000 x = 163.6363 …. (iii) Subtracting (ii) from (iii), we get

    990x = 162

    ⇒ x = = Hence, 0.1 =

    Question 4:

    1. True. Since the collection of natural number is a sub collection of whole numbers, and every element of natural numbers is an element of whole numbers
    2. False. Since 0 is whole number but it is not a natural number.
    3. True. Every integer can be represented in a fraction form with denominator 1.
    4. False. Since division of whole numbers is not closed under division, the value of , p and q are integers and q ≠ 0, may not be a whole number.
    5. True. The prime factors of the denominator of the fraction form of terminating

    decimal contains 2 and/or 5, which are integers and are not equal to zero.

    1. True. The prime factors of the denominator of the fraction form of repeating decimal contains integers, which are not equal to zero.
    2. True. 0 can considered as a fraction , which is a rational number.

    Question 1:

    Exercise 1C

    Irrational number: A number which cannot be expressed either as a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal is known as irrational number. Rather irrational numbers cannot

    be expressed in the fraction form, , p and q are integers and q ≠ 0

    For example, 0.101001000100001 is neither a terminating nor a repeating decimal and so is an irrational number.

    Also, etc are examples of irrational numbers.

    Question 2:

    (i)

    We know that, if n is a perfect square, then is a rational number. Here, 4 is a perfect square and hence, = 2 is a rational number. So, is a rational number.

    (ii)

    We know that, if n is a perfect square, then is a rational number. Here, 196 is a perfect square and hence is a rational number. So, is rational.

    (iii)

    We know that, if n is a not a perfect square, then is an irrational number. Here, 21 is a not a perfect square number and hence, is an irrational number. So, is irrational.

    (iv)

    We know that, if n is a not a perfect square, then is an irrational number. Here, 43 is not a perfect square number and hence, is an irrational number. So, is irrational.

    (v)

    , is the sum of a rational number 3 and irrational number .

    Theorem: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

    So by the above theorem, the sum, , is an irrational number.

    (vi)

    = + (-2) is the sum of a rational number and an irrational number.

    Theorem: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

    So by the above theorem, the sum, + (-2) , is an irrational number.

    So, is irrational.

    (vii)

    = × is the product of a rational number and an irrational number .

    Theorem: The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

    Thus, by the above theorem, × is an irrational number.

    So, is an irrational number.

    1. 0.

    Every rational number can be expressed either in the terminating form or in the non- terminating, recurring decimal form.

    Therefore, 0. = 0.6666

    Question 3:

    Let X’OX be a horizontal line, taken as the x-axis and let O be the origin. Let O represent 0.

    Take OA = 1 unit and draw BA ⊥ OA such that AB = 1 unit, join OB. Then,

    With O as centre and OB as radius, drawn an arc, meeting OX at P. Then, OP = OB = units

    Thus the point P represents on the real line.

    Now draw BC ⊥ OB such that BC = 1 units Join OC. Then,

    With O as centre and OC as radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at Q. The, OQ = OC = units

    Thus, the point Q represents on the real line. Now draw CD ⊥ OC such that CD = 1 units

    Join OD. Then,

    Now draw DE ⊥ OD such that DE = 1 units Join OE. Then,

    With O as centre and OE as radius draw an arc, meeting OX at R. Then, OR = OE = units

    Thus, the point R represents on the real line.

    Question 4:

    Draw horizontal line X’OX taken as the x-axis Take O as the origin to represent 0.

    Let OA = 2 units and let AB ⊥ OA such that AB = 1 units

    Join OB. Then,

    With O as centre and OB as radius draw an arc meeting OX at P. Then, OP = OB =

    Now draw BC ⊥ OB and set off BC = 1 unit Join OC. Then,

    With O as centre and OC as radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at Q. Then, OQ = OC =

    Thus, Q represents on the real line. Now, draw CD ⊥ OC as set off CD = 1 units Join OD. Then,

    With O as centre and OD as radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at R. Then OR = OD =

    Thus, R represents on the real line.

    Question 5:

    (i)

    Since 4 is a rational number and is an irrational number.

    So, is irrational because sum of a rational number and irrational number is always an irrational number.

    (ii)

    Since – 3 is a rational number and is irrational.

    So, is irrational because sum of a rational number and irrational number is always an irrational number.

    (iii)

    Since 5 is a rational number and is an irrational number.

    So, is irrational because product of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.

    (iv)

    Since -3 is a rational number and is an irrational number.

    So, is irrational because product of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.

    (v)

    is irrational because it is the product of a rational number and the irrational number .

    (vi)

    is an irrational number because it is the product of rational number and irrational number .

    Question 6:

    Draw a line segment AB = 7.28 units and extend it to C such that BC = 1 unit. Find the midpoint O of AC.

    With O as centre and OA as radius, draw a semicircle.

    Now, draw BD AC, intersecting the semicircle at D. Then, BD = units.

    With D as centre and BD as radius, draw an arc, meeting AC produced at E. Then, BE = BD = units.

    Question 7:

    Closure Property: The sum of two real numbers is always a real number. Associative Law: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) for al real numbers a, b, c.

    Commutative Law: a + b = b + a, for all real numbers a and b.

    Existence of identity: 0 is a real number such that 0 + a = a + 0, for every real number a. Existence of inverse of addition: For each real number a, there exists a real number (-a) such that

    a + (-a) = (-a) + a= 0

    a and (-a) are called the additive inverse of each other. Existence of inverse of multiplication:

    For each non zero real number a, there exists a real number such that

    a and are called the multiplicative inverse of each other.

    DETERMINERS

    Are the words which identify or specify a noun in some way. They do not describe a noun; they determine it; they point it out. eg-the best boy, that tree and my brother etc.

    KINDS OF DETERMINERS

    We have the following kinds of determiners;

    1. Articles (a, an, the )
    2. Demonstratives (this, that, these, those)
    3. Possessives (my, your, his, her, etc.)
    4. Distributives (either, neither, each, every)
    5. Quantifiers (some, any, much, several, etc.)
    6. Interrogatives (what, which, whose, etc.)

    Articles

    We already know that there are three articles in English: a, an, and the. Of these a and an are indefinite articles while the is the definite article.

    Uses of article A and An :

    • before countables in the singular number:

    A train, A question, An uncle, An umbrella

    • A before a countable in the singular number beginning with a consonant sound:

    A lecture, A one-eyed man (w sound)

    • An before a countable noun in the singular number beginning with vowel sound:

    An invention, An M.A. (here M is sounded as em; so it begins with vowel sound)

    Uses of article The

    • Before a noun whenever we want to make it particular: the train by which I came, the books I usually read
    • This article can be used with both countable (train, book) and uncountable (mercy, information). And also can be used with the countables both in the singular number (train) and the plural number (books).
    • With a noun that has already been mentioned:

    I got a watch as a gift.

    The watch is beautiful.

    • When it is clear from the situation which people or things we mean:

    The principal is taking round of the school.

    • With superlatives:

    The brightest star

    DEMONSTRATIVES

    • This and These refer to persons or objects close by. This is used before singular nouns and These before plural nouns:

    This book contains all information.

    These flowers are for you.

    • That and Those refer to persons or objects at a distance. That is used before singular nouns and Those before plural nouns:

    That car belongs to my father.

    Those cars are for sale.

    • This and
    • That can be used before the uncountables also:

    This food is not good.

    That rose is beautiful.

    POSSESSIVES

    Possessives can be used both before singular and plural nouns:

    My book, My books Your purse, Your purses.

    DISTRIBUTIVES

    Either

    It has two meanings

    • any of the two different persons or things:

    You can take either bus. (any of the two buses)

    • the both

    Restaurants have come up on either sides of the road. (on both the sides)

    Neither

    • It means opposite to either or it means not the one nor the other:

    Neither candidate deserves our support.

    Each, every

    • Each is used when we think of things separately, one by one:

    Talk to each child.

    • Every is used when we think of things as a group. The meaning is without exception:

    Every child needs love and protection.

    QUANTIFIERS

    • many and several suggest number, they are used with countables: many pens, several trees
    • some and any can be used with both countables and uncountables: some books, some tea

    any shirts, any bread

    • Much is generally used before the uncountables. It means: a large quantity of.

    Much labour, much loss

    • Many is used before the countables in the plural number. It means a large number of:

    Many students, many artists

    INTERROGATIVES

    • Determiners that helps to ask questions may be described as interrogatives like what, which, whose, etc.

    What train, which basket, whose bats

    MODALS

    Modals are verbs used to express the mood or attitude of the speaker. They are used to give advice, seek or give permission, make suggestions, make polite requests, give invitations, etc. The most commonly used modals are:

    • can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must, ought to, need, dare
    • Asking for and giving permission:

    May, can, and could

    Preeti: Mummy, I ‘am awfully hungry. Can I eat these butter biscuits?

    Mother: Why not? You can eat all of them if you like.

    • Vinay: Could I use your phone please?

    Mr Bhushan: Yes of course.

    Ritu: May I go to the medical room madam? I “am feeling giddy.

    Madam: Yes please do.

    • To ask or give permission we use Can, could or may.

    Can is informal; could is very polite; may is formal. All of them are correct. The choice depends on the situation and the speaker’s relation to the listener.

    • Asking for things:

    Can, could, may, will

    • To ask for things we normally use can or could Can I have those pillow covers, please?

    Could you pass on the salt, please?

    • May is also possible, but being very formal is not preferred. However, we can use will if we like:
    • Will you pass on the salt, please?
    • Possibility:

    May, might

    Both may might are used to suggest possibility. But might suggests a lesser possibility than may.

    In these sentences, could is also possible:

    He could be in his office.

    But could suggests still lesser possibility.

    • Must doesn’t have a past tense form. So we can use must to talk about the present or the

    future:

    We must phone Sathish now {present}

    We must phone Sathish tomorrow {future}

    • Should is not as strong as must or have to. Look at this example:

    You should wear a helmet while driving a motor bike.

    • Ought to conveys the same sense as should. But it carries with it a sense of moral duty.

    You ought to take care of your old parents.

    ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE

    • We can begin a sentence either with the subject or object. This fact decides whether a sentence is active or passive.
    • In other words, it is possible for us to recognise the active and the passive voice. For example, if a sentence has one of the helping verbs such as am, is, are, was, were, been, being, be and past participles of the verb like eaten, broken, spent, learnt, incented, discovered, it is passive voice.
    • Voice: Voice is the form of the verb which indicates whether a person or a thing does something or something has been done to a person or a thing.Kinds of voice: there are two kinds of voice, namely:
    • Active voice
    • Passive voice
    • Active Voice: When a verb form shows that the subject has done something, it is known as active voice.

    Ex: Madhavi wrote a letter.

    • Passive voice: when a verb form shows that something has been done to the subject, it known as passive voice.

    Ex: A letter was written by Madhavi.

    NOTE: we can turn active voice into passive voice by using some guide lines. It is not much difficult for us to change the voice of the verb.

    BASIC RULES

    -A sentence can be separated into subject(S), verb(V) and object(O).

    eg: MADHAVI S

    WROTE

    V

    A LETTER O

    -The object of the sentence must be turned into subject.

    eg: MADHAVI S

    WROTE

    V

    A LETTER O

    A LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY MADHAVI

    O

    V

    S

    -The ‘be’ form must be used according to the tense of the verb. eg: A letter ‘was’.

    TENSE

    FORM

    • Present Simple
    • Continuous Tense (Present)
    • Present Perfect Tense
    • Simple Past Tense
    • Past Continuous Tense
    • Past Perfect Tense
    • Simple Future Tense
    • Future Perfect Tense

    am/is/are + Past Participle am/is/are + being + Past Participle have/has + been + Past Participle was/were + Past Participle was/were + being + Past Participial had + been + Past Participle will/shall + be + Past Participle will/shall + have been + Past Participle

    -Past participle of the verb must be used. eg: A letter was written.

    -Preposition ‘by’ must be added. eg: A letter was written by

    -The subject must be made the object. eg: A letter was written by Madhavi.

    ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE TABLE

    -An easy way to find out to change the active voice to passive voice and vice versa.

    DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH

    Akshay said, “I am really sorry for the mistake.” (1)

    Akshay said that he was really sorry for the mistake (2)

    -There are two ways of reporting, what some body said.

    We produce the exact words of the speaker, as in above. This is called direct speech.

    Or, we can express the speech in our own words, as in (2) above. This is called indirect or reported speech.

    Direct speech is set off by inverted commas (” “) indirect speech usually begins as:

    Miru said that

    Shashank asked Dhanshree if

    Kiran told Puneet to

    We do not normally report someone’s words as soon as they are spoken, or at the place where they are spoken. Besides, the reporter is usually different from the actual speaker. So the reported speech differs from the direct speech in certain respects:

    Sushmita said, “I ‘am not free today, for somebody is coming to interview me.”

    Sushmita said that she was not free that day, for somebody was coming to interview her.

    -Besides dropping inverted commas and using some conjunctions(that, if, etc.), we have to take care of three things while reporting speeches:

    Tenses. Most of the times, the reported speech is in the past tense. (she was not free

    Somebody was coming )

    Personal pronouns like I, we, you, etc. And possessives like my, our, your, etc. , which change according to the situation. (she was , coming to interview her)

    Words detonating nearness of time and place are changed. (not free today- not free that day)

    DIRECT SPEECH

    INDIRECT SPEECH

    this/that

    these/those

    here

    there

    now

    then*

    Ago

    Before

    Today/tonight

    That day/that night

    Yesterday

    The day before/the previous day

    Tomorrow

    The next day/the following day

    The day before yesterday

    The day before the previous day

    The day after tomorrow

    The day after the next day

    Last week/year, etc.

    The previous week /year, etc.

    Next week/year, etc.

    The following week/year, etc.

    (*But then is very often omitted from the indirect speech)

    REPORTING VERB IN THE PRESENT OR FUTURE TENSE – THE TENSES IN THE REPORTED SPEECH UNCHANGED

    Prakhar says, “Arunima is not keeping well”.

    Prakhar says that Arunima is not keeping well.

    He will say, “Good music makes a good film.”

    He will say that good music makes a good film.

    REPORTING VERB IN A PAST TENSE

    THE TENSES IN THE REPORTED SPEECH CHANGE INTO A CORRESPONDING PAST TENSE

    MIGHT/COULD

    WOULD/SHOULD/MIGHT/COULD /OUGHT TO/USED TO

    NO CHANGE

    MUST

    HAD TO

    There are situations in which even if the reporting verb is in the past tense, we leave the tenses in the reported speech unchanged:

    -The reported speech expresses a universal truth or a habitual fact:

    Our science teacher said, “The pole star does not change it’s position in the sky.”

    (The reported speech is a universal truth.)

    Our science teacher told us that the pole star does not change its position in the sky.

    I said to the tourist, “the Indian summer is usually very hot.”

    (This reported speech is habitual fact)

    I told the tourist that the Indian summer is usually very hot.

    -The reported speech describes a situation which still exists when the speech is reported :

    The station master said, “All the trains are running late because heavy rains have damaged some parts of the track.” (The situation continues to be unchanged at the time of reporting.) The station master said that all the trains are running late because heavy rains have damaged some parts of the track.

    -The reported speech contains two clauses, both in the past:

    Neeraj said to me, “Abhilash was unwell so she didn’t go to the school.”

    Neeraj told me that Abhilash was unwell so she didn’t go to the school.

    -However, in this case it would also be correct to say:

    Neeraj told me that Abhilash had been unwell, so she hadn’t gone to the school.
