Length of cylindrical portion Here 6q, , 6q + 2 and 6q + 4 are divisible by 2 and so

= 5 − 1.4 − 1.4 = 2.2 cm
6q, 6q + 2 and 6q + 4 are even positive integers.
But 6q + 1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 are odd, as they are not
divisible by 2.
Thus any positive odd integer is of the form
6q + 1, 6q + 3 or 6q + 5 .

th

the seventh term exceeds three times the 3rd term by

LCM (510, 92 = 22 ×23×3×5×14
2. Also find its nth term ^an h .

HCF (510, 92) × LCM (510, 92) Let the first term be a , common difference be d and

Product of two numbers = 510×92 = 46920 We have a3 = a + 2d = 7 (1)
Hence, HCF×LCM = Product of two numbers a7 = 3a3 + 2

Solving (1) and (2), we have
Show that any positive odd integer is of the form
6q + 1, 6q + 3 or 6q + 5, where q is some integer. 4d = 16 & d = 4

Given that tan ^A + B h = tan A + tan B , find the
1 − tan A tan B
values of tan 75º and tan 90º by taking suitable values
of A and B.
Ans :

We have tan ^A + B h = tan A + tan B

1 − tan A tan B
(i) tan 75º = tan ^45º + 30ºh

= tan 45º + tan 30º

Ans : given points must be zero.

Consider the triangle shown below. = 1 6x1 ^y2 − y3h + x2 ^y3 − y1h + x3 ^y1 − y2h@ = 0
2
6x1 ^y2 − y3h + x2 ^y3 − y1h + x3 ^y1 − y2h@ = 0
8^k + 1h^2k + 3 − 5k h + 3k ^5k − 2k h +

6k2 − 15k + 6 = 0
2k2 − 5k + 2 = 0
^k − 2h^2k − 1h = 0
Thus k = 2 or k = 1

Ans :
Width of the inner parallel lines = 60 m
And the width of the outer lines = 40 # 2 = 80 m

Radius of the inner semicircles = 60 = 30 m

2

Radius of the other semicircles = 80 = 40 m

2
Area of inner rectangle = 106 # 60 = 3180 m2
Area of outer rectangle = 106 # 80 = 4240 m2.
Area of the inner semicircle
= 2 1 # 22 # 30 # 30 = 19800 m2
2 7 7
Area of outer semicircles
= 2 # 1 # 22 # 40 # 40 = 35200 m2
2 7 7
Area of racing track
= (area of outer rectangle + area of outer semicircles)
– (area of inner rectangle + area of inner semicircles)
= 4240 + 35200 − b 3180 + 19800 l
7 7

= 1060 + 15400 = 7420 + 15400

7 7

= 22820 = 3260 m2

Hence, area of track is 3260 m2
