Even without calculations it is clear that (2,313) cannot lie on the liney = 5x + 3. If x is irrational, y must also be irrational. Option(d)
Question 24.  Find the area of a triangle whose vertices are (0,0), (12, 9) and (14, 6).

Answer: Option A. -> 27
:
A
The simplest way to find this is to put a rectangle around the given triangle and then subtract off the areas of the right triangles that surround it. (See Figure) The area of the entire rectangle is 126, but after subtracting the areas of the 3 right triangles, whose areas are 54, 3, and 42, we are left with an area of 27.

Question 25. Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (2, 1) and through the point of intersection of the lines x + 2y = 3 and 2x – 3y= 4.
  1.    5x + 3y – 13 = 0
  2.    4x – 7y – 1= 0
  3.    2x – 7y – 20=0
  4.    x – 7y + 13 =0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5x + 3y – 13 = 0
:
A
1st method: - equation of any straight line passing through the intersection of the lines x + 2y = 3 and 2x – 3y= 4 is
λ(x + 2y – 3) + (2x – 3y – 4) = 0
Since it passes through the point (2, 1)
λ(2 + 2 – 3) + (4 – 3 – 4) = 0
λ - 3 = 0
λ = 3
Now substituting this value of λ in (i), we get
3(x + 2y – 3) + (2x – 3y – 4) = 0
5x + 3y – 13 = 0
2nd method: - The straight line passing through the point (2, 1), put x = 2 and y = 1only option (a) and (b) will satisfy. Now, intersection point of the lines x + 2y = 3 and 2x – 3y= 4 is (177,27), Put x = 177 and y = 27 only option(a) will satisfy. Option(a).
Question 26. What is the equation of a line which has an x-intercept of 4 units and passes through the point (-2,3)?
  1.    x+4y-4=0
  2.    x+2y-4=0
  3.    x+6y-16=0
  4.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> x+2y-4=0
:
B
option (b)
To have an x-intercept 4, the value at y=0 should give x=4.
Put y=0 in all 3 answer options.
Option a and b give x=4
Question 27. Find the equation of circle whose radius is 5 and which touches the circle x2+y22x4y20=0 at the point (5, 5).

:
A
The given circle is x2+y22x4y20=0 with centre (1, 2) and radius = 1+4+20=5.
And required circle has radius 5 hence circles touch each other externally.
Since point of contact is P(5, 5).
P is the mid point of C1 and C2, let co – ordinate of centre C2 is (h, k) then
1+h2=5;h=9
2+k2=5; k = 8

Question 29. If k = sinπ18.sin5π18.sin7π18, then the numerical value of k is
  1.    14
  2.    18
  3.    116

B
(b) We havek = sinπ18.sin5π18.sin7π18
= cos(π2π18)cos(π25π18)cos(π27π18)
= cosπ9cos2π9cos4π9 = sin23π923sinπ9 = sin8π98sinπ9
= sin(ππ9)8sinπ9 = 18
Question 30. For a positive integer n, let
  fn(θ) = (tanθ2)(1 + sec θ)(1 + sec 2θ)(1 + sec 4θ) .........
(1 + sec 2nθ). Then
  1.    f2(π16) = 1
  2.    f3(π32) = 1
  3.    f4(π64) = 1
  4.    All of above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of above
:
D
(a,b,c) fn(θ) = sin(θ/2)cos(θ/2)[2cos2θ/2cosθ.2cos2θcos2θ.2cos22θcos4θ]
Combine first two factors,fn(θ) = sinθcosθ[2cos2θcos2θ.2cos22θcos4θ]
Again combine first two factors,
fn(θ) = tan 2θ[2cos22θcos4θ.......] = tan (2nθ)
f2(π16) = tan 4π16 = tan (π4)= 1
f3(π32) = tan 8π32 = tan (π4) = 1
f4(π64) = tan 16π64 = tan (π4) = 1
f5(π128) = tan 32π128 = tan (π4) = 1
