Answer any 4 questions from 1 to 6. Each question carries 2 scores. (4 × 2 = 8)
Question 1.
In the figure, AB = QR, BC = PR, AC = PQ, ∠A = 50°, ∠B = 60°

(a) What is the measure of ∠C?
Answer:
∠C = 180 – (50 + 60) = 70°
(b) What is the measure of ∠P ?
Answer:
Since ∆ABC and ∆QRP are equal triangles, the angles opposite to the equal sides will be equal.
So ∠P= ∠C = 70°
Question 2.
2 added to three times a number gives 32. What is the number?
Answer:
32 – 2 = 30
∴ Number = \(\frac{30}{3}\) = 10

(b) What is the measure of ∠B?
Answer:
∴ ∠B = 180 – (40 + 40) = 100°
Question 5.
If 6 (x – 2) = 3 (x + 1), find ‘x’
Answer:
6(x – 2) = 3(x + 1)
∴ 6x – 12 = 3x + 3
3x = 15
x = \(\frac{15}{3}\) = 5
Question 6.
In triangle ABC, ∠A = 50°. ∠B = 70°

(a) What is the measure of ∠ACB?
Answer:
∠ACB = 180 – (50 + 70)
= 180°- 120°
= 60°
(b) What is the measure of ∠ACD?
Answer:
∠ACD = 180 – 60
= 120°
Answer any 4 Questions from 7 to 12. Each question carries 3 scores. (4 × 3 = 12)
Question 7.
(a) If x is an odd number, what is the next odd number?
Answer:
x + 2
(b) Sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 72. What are the numbers?
Answer:
x + x + 2 = 72
∴ 2x + 2 = 72
2x = 70
∴ x = \(\frac{70}{2}\) = 35
∴ numbers = 35, 37
Question 8.
(a) Draw a line 8.5 centimetres long.
(b) Draw its perpendicular bisector.
(c) Draw an equilateral triangle of side 4.25 centimetres long.
Answer:
Draw a line AB = 8.5 cm. Draw its perpendicular bisector.
Then AP= PB 4.25 cm. Now, draw an equilateral triangle with PB as length of the side.
Then ∆PBC is an equilateral triangle of side 4.25 cm.

Question 9.
The inner angle of a regular polygon is double that of its outer angle.
(a) Find the measure of one outer angle?
Answer:
Let outer angle Inner angle = 2x
∴ x + 2x = 180
3x = 180
x = \(\frac{180}{3}\) = 60°
One outer angle = 60°
(b) Find the measure of one inner angle?
Answer:
One inner angle = 180 – 60 = 120°
Question 10.
A hundred rupee note was changed to ten ru-pee notes and twenty rupee notes, eight notes in all.
(a) If we take the number of twenty rupee notes as ‘x’, what is the number of ten rupee notes?
Answer:
If number of 20 rupee notes = x, then
number of 10 rupee notes = 8 – x.
![]()
(b) Find the number of 10 rupee notes and 20 rupee notes?
Answer:
Total amount = 100
10(8 – x) + 20 x = 100
80 – 10x + 20x = 100
∴ 80 + 10x = 100
10x = 100 – 80 = 20
x = \(\frac{20}{10}\) = 2
20 rupee notes = 2
∴ 10 rupee notes = 8 – 2 = 6
Question 11.
Two right angled triangles are given in the figure. Lengths of two sides are given.

Answer:
(a) Find the length of third side of each triangle.
Answer:
AC = \(\sqrt{8^2+6^2}\) = 10 cm
QR = \(\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=\sqrt{64}\) = 8 cm
(b) Write equal angles of triangle ABC and triangle PQR?
Answer:
∆ABC and ∆PQR are equal
∠B = ∠Q, ∠C = ∠R, ∠A = ∠P
Question 12.
Consider a polygon having 42 sides.
(a) What is the sum of the inner angles of this polygon?
Answer:
Sum of inner angles = (n – 2) 180°
= (42 – 2) 180°
= 7200°
(b) What is the sum of the inner angles of a polygon with one side more?
Answer:
Sum of inner angles of a polygon with One side more = 7200 + 180 = 7380°
Answer any 5 Questions from 13 to 18. Each question carries 4 scores. (5 × 4 = 20)
Question 13.
In figure, ∠AOB = 71° OC is the bisector of ∠AOB.

(a) What is the measure of ∠AOC?
Answer:
∠AOC = \(\frac{71}{2}\) = 35\(\frac{1}{2}\)
(b) Draw triangle PQR with PQ = 6 centimetres,
∠P = 35\(\frac{1}{2}\) , ∠Q = 60°
Answer:
Draw PQ = 6 cm, ∠P = 71° and ∠Q = 60°.
Draw bisector of ∠P.
Now in ∆PQR, ∠P = \(\frac{71}{2}\) = 35.5°

Question 14.
Length of a rectangle is 3 metres more than two times the breadth. Perimeter of the rectangle is 36 metres.
(a) Length + Breadth = ____________
Answer:
\(\frac{36}{2}\) = 18 cm
(b) Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Answer:
If breadth = x
Length = 2x + 3
2x + 3 + x = 18
3x + 3 = 18
3x = 18 – 3 = 15
x = \(\frac{15}{3}\) = 5 cm
∴ Length = (2 × 5) + 3 = 13 cm
