Question 8.
Observe the picture and answer the following.
(i) Find all the possible routes from A to D.
(ii) Find the shortest distance between E and C.
(iii) Find all the possible routes between B and F with distance. Mention the shortest route.

Solution:
(i) All possible routes from A to D are :
(a) A ➝ G ➝ F ➝ E ➝ D
(b) A ➝ G ➝ D
(c) A ➝ B ➝ C ➝ D
(d) A ➝ B ➝ D

(ii) Distance between E and C are
(a) Route 1: E ➝ D ➝ C
Distance: 120 m + 200 m = 320 m.
(b) Route 2: E ➝ D ➝ B ➝ C
Distance = 120 + 100 m + 120 m
= 340 m.
∴ Shortest distance is 320 m.

(iii) All possible routes between B and F are :
(a) Route 1: B ➝ A ➝ G ➝ F
Distance = 250 m + 100 m + 150 m = 600 m.

(b) Route 2: 2 ➝ D ➝ E ➝ F
Distance = 100 m + 120 m + 300 m
= 520 m.

(c) Route 3: B ➝ D ➝ G ➝ F
Distance = 100 m + 200 m + 150 m
= 450 m.

(d) Route 4: B ➝ C ➝ D ➝ E ➝ F
Distance = 120 m + 200 m + 120 m + 300 m
= 740 m.
We find that Route 3 is shortest.
ie B ➝ D ➝ G ➝ F is the shortest route.

Solution:

Question 4.
Add : 2x, 6y, 9x – 2y
Solution:
2x + 6y + 9x – 2y = 2x + 9x + 6y – 2y = (2 + 9)x + (6 – 2)y = 11x + 4y

Question 5.
Simplify : (5x³ y³ – 3x² y² + xy + 7) + (2xy + x³y³ – 5 + 2x²y²)
Solution:
(5x³y³ – 3x²y² + xy + 7) + (2xy + x³y³ – 5 + 2x²y²)
= 5x³y³ + x³y³ – 3x²y² + 2x²y² + xy + 2xy + 7 – 5
= (5 + 1)x³y³ + (-3 + 2)x²y² +(1 +2)xy + 2
= 6x³y³ – x²y² + 3xy + 2

Question 6.
The sides of a triangle are 2x – 5y + 9, 3y + 6x – 7 and -4x + y +10 . Find perimeter of the triangle.
Solution:
Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of three sides
= (2x – 5y + 9) + (3y + 6x – 7) + (-4x + y + 10)
= 2x – 5y + 9 + 3y + 6x – 7 – 4x + y + 10
= 2x + 6x – 4x – 5y + 3y + y + 9 – 7 + 10
= (2 + 6 – 4)x + (-5 + 3 + 1)y + (9 – 7 + 10)
= 4x – y + 12
∴ Perimeter of the triangle = 4x – y + 12 units.

Question 7.
Subtract -2mn from 6mn.
Solution:
6 mn – (-2mn) = 6mn + (+2mn) = (6 + 2) mn = 8mn

Question 8.
Subtract 6a² – 5ab + 3b² from 4a² – 3ab + b².
Solution:
(4a² – 3ab+ b²) – (6a²– 5ab + 3b²)
= (4a² – 6a²) + (- 3ab -(-5 ab)] + (b²– 3b²)
= (4 – 6) a² + [-3ab + (+ 5ab)] + (1 – 3) b²
= [4 + (- 6)] a² + (-3 + 5) ab + [1+ (-3)]b²
= -2a² + 2ab – 2b²

Question 9.
The length of a log is 3a + 4b – 2 and a piece (2a – b) is remove from it. What is the length of the remaining log?
Solution:
Length of the log = 3a + 4b – 2

Length of the piece removed = 2a – b
Remaining length of the log = (3a + 4b – 2) – (2a – b)
= (3a – 2a) + [4b – (-b)] – 2
= (3 – 2)a + (4 + 1)b – 2
= a + 5b – 2

Question 10.
A tin had ‘x’ litre oil. Another tin had (3x² + 6x – 5) litre of oil. The shopkeeper added (x + 7) litre more to the second tin. Later he sold (x² + 6) litres of oil from the second tin. How much oil was left In the second tin?
Solution:
Quantity of oil in the second tin = 3x² + 6x – 5 litres.
Quantity of oil added = x + 7 litres
∴ Total quantity of oil in the second tin
= (3x² + 6x – 5) + (x + 7) litres
= 3x² + (6x + x) + (-5 + 7)
= 3x² + (6 + 1)x + 2
= 3x² + 7x + 2 litres
Quantity of oil sold = x + 6 litres
∴ Quantity of oil left in the second tin = (3x² + 7x + 2) – (x² + 6)(3x² – x² ) + 7x + (2 – 6)
= (3 – 1)x² + 7x + (-4) = 2x² + 7x – 4
Quantity of oil left = 2x² + 7x – 4 litres

Question 1.
Every algebraic expression is a polynomial. Is this statement true? Why?
Solution:
No, This statement is not true. Because Polynomials contain only whole numbers as the powers of their variables. But an algebraic expression may contains fractions and negative powers on their variables.
Eg. 2y² + 5y^-1 – 3 is a an algebraic expression. But not a polynomial.

Question 1.
(3p + 2q)²
Solution:
(3p + 2q)²
Comparing (3p + 2q)² with (a + b)², we get a = 3p and b = 2q.
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
(3p + 2q)² = (3p)²+ 2(3p) (2q) + (2q)²
= 9p² + 12pq + 4q²

Question 2.
(105)²
Solution:
(105)² = (100 + 5)²
Comparing (100 + 5)² with (a + b)², we get a = 100 and b = 5.

105² = 11,025

Question 3.
( 2x – 5d)²
Solution:
(2x – 5d)²
Comparing with (a – b)², we get a = 2x b = 5d.
(a – b)² = a² – 2ab + b²
(2x – 5d)² = (2x)² – 2(2x)(5d) + (5d)²
= 2x² – 20 xd + 5²d² = 4x² – 20 xd + 25d²

(x – a)(x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab
(2m +n) (2m +p) = (2m²) + (n +p)(2m) + (n) (p)
= 2²m² + n(2m) + p(2m) + np
= 4m² + 2mn + 2mp + np

Question 8.

Solution:
Side of a square = x – 2
∴ Area = Side × Side
= (x – 2) (x – 2) = x(x – 2) – 2(x – 2)
= x(x) + (x)(-2) + (-2)(x) + (-2)(-2)
= x – 2x – 2x + 4x² – 4x + 4

Question 10.
Find the area of the rectangle whose length and breadth are (y + 4) and (y – 3).
Solution:
Length of the rectangle = y+ 4

10x² + 15y² = (2 × 5 × x × x) + (3 × 5 × y × y)
Taking out the common factor 5 we have
10x² + 15y² = 5(2x² + 3y²)

Question 3.
7m(m – 5) + 1(5 – m)
Solution:
7m(m – 5) + 1(5 – m)
7m(m – 5) + 1(5 – m) = 7m(m – 5) + (-1)(-5 + m)
= 7m(m – 5) – 1 (m – 5)
Taking out the common binomial factor (m – 5) = (m – 5)(7m – 1)

Question 4.
64 – x²
Solution:
64 – x²
64 – x² = 8² – x²
This is of the form a² – b²
Comparing with a² – b² we have a = 8, b = x
a² – b² = (a + b)(a – b)
64 – x² = (8 + x)(8 – x)

Very Short Answers [2 Marks]

Question 1.
Find the length of arc if the perimeter of sector is 45 cm and radius is 10 cm.
Solution:
Given Radius of the sector = 10 cm
Perimeter of the sector P = 45 cm
l + 2r = 45
l + 2(10) = 45
l + 20 = 45
l = 45 – 20
l = 25 cm
Length of the arc l = 25 cm

Question 2.
Find the radius of sector whose perimeter and length of arc are 30 cm and 16 cm respectively.
Solution:
Given length of the arc = 16 cm
Perimeter of the arc = 30 cm
l + 2r = 30
16 + 2 r = 30
2 r = 30 – 16
2 r = 14
r = \(\frac{14}{2}\)
r = 7 cm
Radius of the sector = 7 cm

Question 3.
Find the length of arc whose radius is 7 cm and central angle 90°.
Solution:
Here θ = 90°; radius r = 7cm
Length of the arc = \(\frac{\theta^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\) × 2πr units
= \(\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\) × 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 7 = 11 cm
∴ Length of the arc = 11 cm

Solution:
Radius of the sector = 27 cm
Area of the sector =324 cm²

Perimeter of the sector P = (l + 2r) units = 24 + 2(27) cm = (24 + 54) cm = 78 cm

Exercise 2.2

Question 1.
PQRS is a diameter of a circle of radius 6 cm. The lengths PQ, QR and RS are equal semi-circles drawn on PQ and Question as diameters. Find the p perimeter and area of the shaded region.

Solution:
PS = Diameter of a circle of radius 6 cm = 12 cm
PQ = QR = RS = \(\frac{12}{3}\) = 4 cm Question = QR + RS = 4 + 4 = 8 cm
∴ Perimeter of the shaded part = Arc length of semi-circle of radius 6 cm + Arc length of semicircle of radius 4 cm + Arc length of semi-circle of radius 2 cm.
= (π × 6) + (π × 4) + (π × 2) cm
P = 12 π cm
Area required = Area of semicircle with PS as diameter + Area of semi circle with PQ as diameter – Area of semi-circle with Question as diameter.

Question 2.
In the figure AOBCA represents a quadrant of a circle of radius 3.5cm with center ‘O’ calculate the area of the shaded portion (π = \(\frac{22}{7}\))

Very Short Answers [2 Marks]

Question 1.
What is the least number of planes that can enclose a solid? What is the name of the solid?
Solution:
Least number of planes = 4, the solid is tetrahedron.

Question 2.
Can a polyhedron have for its faces = 12 edges = 16 and vertices = 6.
Solution:
Verifying Euler’s formula
F + V – E = 12 + 6 – 16 = 18 – 16 = 2
Yes, the polyhedron can have F = 12, E = 16 and V = 6

Question 1.
Verify Euler’s formula for a pyramid.
Solution:
A pyramid has faces = 5, Vertices = 5, Edges = 8
By Euler’s formula F + V – E = 5 + 5 – 8 = 10 – 8 = 2

Question 2.
Verify Eulers formula for a triangular prism.
Solution:
For a triangular prism
Faces = 5, Edges = 9, Vertices = 6
By Euler’s formula F + V – E = 5 + 6 – 9 = 11 – 9 = 2

Question 1.
(a) Dice are cubes where the numbers on the opposite faces must total 7. Is the following a die.

(b) The following shows a net with areas of faces. What can be the shape?

Solution:
(a) 2 + 5 = 6 + 1 = 3 + 4 = 7
∴ It can be a die.
(b) It is a cuboid
