    If A(5, 2), B(2,–2) and C(–2, t) are the vertices of a right angled triangle with angle B = 90°, then find the value of t.

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    In right angled triangle, ABC,

    By Pythagoras Theorem,

                        AC2 = AB2 + BC2

    (5 + 2)2 +(2 – t)2 =(5 – 2)2 +(2 +2)2 +(2 + 2)2
    +(–2 – t)2

       72 + 4 – 4t + t2 = 9 + 16 + 16 + 4 + 4t + t2
                    53 – 4t = 45 + 4t
                    53 – 45 = 8t
                              t = 8/8 = 1

  • Q10

    Find the middle term of the A.P. 213, 205, 197, …, 37.

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    Since, l = a + (n – 1)d
    Here, a = 213, d = 205 – 213 =– 8 and l = 37

    So, 37 = 213 + (n – 1)( – 8)

           37 = 213 – 8n + 8

             n = 23
