Q12. Find the sum of all three digit natural numbers, which are multiples of 11.

Solution:
The smallest and the largest three digit natural numbers, which are divisible by 11 are 110 and
990 respectively.
So, the sequence of three digit numbers which are divisible by 11 are 110, 121, 132, , 990.
Clearly, it is an A.P. with first term, a = 110 and common difference, d = 11.
Let there be n terms in the sequence.
So, a

Q13. Tangents PA and PB are drawn from an external point P to two concentric circles with
centre O and radii 8 cm and 5 cm respectively, as shown in Fig. 3. If AP = 15 cm, then
find the length of BP.

Q14. In Fig. 4, an isosceles triangle ABC, with AB = AC, circumscribes a circle. Prove that the
point of contact P bisects the base BC.


Solution:
Given: An isosceles AABC with AB = AC, circumscribing a circle.
To prove: P bisects BC
Proof: AR and AQ are the tangents drawn from an external point A to the circle.
AR = AQ (Tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal)
Similarly, BR = BP and CP = CQ.
It is given that in A ABC, AB = AC.
AR + RB = AQ + QC
BR = QC (As AR = AQ)
BP = CP (As BR = BP and CP = CQ)
P bisects BC
Hence, the result is proved.


OR

In Fig. 5, the chord AB of the larger of the two concentric circles, with centre O, touches the
smaller circle at C. Prove that AC = CB.

Solution:


Given: Two concentric circles C
1
and C
2
with centre O, and AB is the chord of C
1
touching C
2
at
C.
To prove: AC = CB
Construction: Join OC.
Proof: AB is the chord of C
1
touching C
2
at C, then AB is the tangent to C
2
at C with OC as its
radius.
We know that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point
of contact.
OC AB
Considering, AB as the chord of the circle C
1
. So, OC AB.
OC is the bisector of the chord AB.

Hence, AC = CB (Perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects the chord).
