Two circular pieces of equal radii and maximum area, touching each other are cut out from a rectangular cardboard of dimensions 14 cm x 7 cm. Find the area of the remaining cardboard. |
|
Answer» Length of the rectangular cardboard = 14 cm and Breadth of the rectangular cardboard = 7 cm Area of cardboard = Area of rectangle = length × breadth = 14 × 7 = 98 cm2 Let the two circles with equal radii and maximum area have a radius r each. 2r = 7 or r = 7/2 cm Again, Area of two circular cut outs = 2 × πr2 = 2 x 22/7 x (7/2)2 = 77 cm2 Now, The area of remaining cardboard = Area of cardboard – Area of two circular cut outs = 98 – 77 = 21 Therefore, area of remaining cardboard is 21 cm2. |

Answer» From graph, co-ordinates (1, -1) and (-1, 1) are solutions of one of the equations. We will put the value of all the co-ordinates in each equation and check which equation satisfy them. (i) y = x Put x = 1 and y = -1, Thus, 1 ≠ -1 L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Putting x = -1 and y = 1, -1 ≠ 1 L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Therefore, y = x does not represent the graph in the given figure. (ii) x + y = 0 Putting x = 1 and y = -1, ⇒ 1 + (-1) = 0 ⇒ 0 = 0 L.H.S = R.H.S Putting x = -1 and y = 1, (-1) + 1 = 0 0 = 0 L.H.S = R.H.S Thus, the given solutions satisfy this equation. (iii) y = 2x Putting x = 1 and y = -1 -1 = 2 (Not True) Putting x = -1 and y = 1 1 = -2 (Not True) Thus, the given solutions does not satisfy this equation. (iv) 2 + 3y = 7x Putting x = 1 and y = -1 2 – 3 = 7 -1 = 7 (Not true) Putting x = -1 and y = 1 2 + 3 = -7 5 = -7 (Not True) Thus, the given solutions does not satisfy this equation. |

From the choices given below, choose the equation whose graph is given fig:(i) y = x + 2 (ii) y = x – 2 (iii)y = – x + 2 (iv) x + 2y = 6 |
|
Answer» Given: (-1, 3) and (2, 0) are the solution of one of the following given equations. Check which equation satisfy both the points. (i) y = x + 2 Putting, x = -1 and y = 3 3 ≠ – 1 + 2 L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Putting, x = 2 and y = 0 0 ≠ 4 L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Thus, this solution does not satisfy the given equation. (ii) y = x – 2 Putting, x = -1 and y = 3 3 ≠ – 1 – 2 L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Putting, x = 2 and y = 0 0 = 0 L.H.S = R.H.S Thus, the given solutions does not satisfy this equation completely. (iii) y = – x + 2 Putting, x = – 1 and y = 3 3 = – ( – 1 ) + 2 L.H.S = R.H.S Putting x = 2 and y = 0 0 = -2 + 2 0 = 0 L.H.S = R.H.S Therefore, (0, 2) and (-1,3) satisfy this equation. Hence, this is the graph for equation y = -x + 2. |

From the choices given below, choose the equation whose graph in Fig. (i) y = x (ii) x + y = 0 (iii) y = 2x (iv) 2 + 3y = 7x[Hint : Clearly, (-1,1) and (1,-1) satisfy the equation x + y = 0] |
|
Answer» From the graph, The line passes through (1, - 1) and (-1, 1) (i) y = x ⇒ 1 = - 1 Which is not true (ii) x + y = 0 ⇒ 1 – 1 = 0 ⇒ 0 = 0 Also, - 1 + 1 = 0 ⇒ 0 = 0 Thus. x + y = 0 is a equation (iii) y = 2x ⇒ -1 = 2 Which is not true (iv) 2 + 3y = 7x ⇒ 2 – 3 = 7 ⇒ -1 = 7 Which is not true |
