Q9 Solve the quadratic equation 2x2 + ax − a2 = 0 for x.

Solution: Comparing the given equation with the standard quadratic equation (ax2 + bx + c = 0),

We get:
a = 2, b = a and c =-a2

Using the quadratic formula,

= - b ± /2a,

we get: x = - a ± / 2×2 =- a± /4 = (-a ± 3a)/4⇒ x= (- a+3a)/4 Þ

Þ x = a/2 or x= - a -3a / 4 = - a
So, the solutions of the given quadratic equation are x=a/2 or x = -a.

Q10. The first and the last terms of an AP are 5 and 45 respectively. If the sum of all its terms is 400, find its common difference.

Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
Given: a = 5 Tn = 45 Sn = 400
We know:
Tn = a + (n − 1)d ⇒ 45 = 5 + (n − 1)d ⇒ 40 = (n − 1)d ... (i)
and Sn = n/2[a + Tn]
⇒400=n/2[5+45]⇒n/2=400/50 ⇒ n = 16
On substituting n = 16 in (i), we get:
40 = (16 − 1)d ⇒ 40 = (15)d ⇒ d = 40/15=8/3 Thus, the common difference is 8/3.

Q11 Prove that the line segment joining the points of contact of two parallel tangents of a circle, passes through its centre.

Solution:

Now, XB∥AO
⇒ ∠XBO + ∠AOB = 180° sum of adjacent interior angles is 180°)

Now, ∠XBO = 90° (A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact)
⇒ 90° + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 180° − 90° = 90°
Similarly, ∠AOC = 90°
∴ ∠AOB + ∠AOC = 90° + 90° = 180°
Hence, BOC is a straight line passing through O.
Thus, the line segment joining the points of contact of two parallel tangents of a circle, passes through its centre.

Q12 If from an external point P of a circle with centre O, two tangents PQ and PR are drawn such that ∠QPR = 120°, prove that 2PQ = PO.

Solution: We know that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.
∴∠OQP=90∘
We also know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an external point are equally inclined to the segment, joining the centre to that point.

∴∠QPO=60∘
Now, in ∆QPO:
cos60∘ =PQ/ PO⇒1/2=PQ/PO⇒2PQ=PO

Q13 Rahim tosses two different coins simultaneously. Find the probability of getting at least one tail.

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....
