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.

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
