Real Numbers
Solved Examples
Assume that √5 is rational. Then it can be expressed as a fraction a/b where a and b are coprime integers.
Then √5 = a/b ⇒ 5 = a²/b² ⇒ a² = 5b².
This means a² is divisible by 5, so a is also divisible by 5. Let a = 5c.
Then (5c)² = 5b² ⇒ 25c² = 5b² ⇒ 5c² = b².
This means b² is divisible by 5, so b is also divisible by 5.
But this contradicts our assumption that a and b are coprime. Therefore, √5 is irrational.
Prime factors of 96: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 2⁵ × 3
Prime factors of 404: 2 × 2 × 101 = 2² × 101
HCF is the product of common prime factors with lowest powers: 2² = 4
Therefore, HCF of 96 and 404 is 4.
According to Euclid's division lemma, for any positive integer a and b=2, there exist unique integers q and r such that:
a = 2q + r, where 0 ≤ r < 2
So possible values of r are 0 or 1.
If r = 0, then a = 2q → even integer
If r = 1, then a = 2q + 1 → odd integer
Hence, every positive even integer is of the form 2q and every positive odd integer is of the form 2q+1.
Prime factors of 6: 2 × 3
Prime factors of 20: 2 × 2 × 5 = 2² × 5
HCF = product of common prime factors with lowest powers = 2
LCM = product of all prime factors with highest powers = 2² × 3 × 5 = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60
Therefore, HCF = 2 and LCM = 60.
Assume that 3 + 2√5 is rational. Then it can be expressed as a fraction a/b where a and b are coprime integers.
Then 3 + 2√5 = a/b ⇒ 2√5 = a/b - 3 = (a - 3b)/b
⇒ √5 = (a - 3b)/(2b)
Since a and b are integers, (a - 3b)/(2b) is rational, which would mean √5 is rational.
But we know that √5 is irrational. This is a contradiction.
Therefore, our assumption is wrong, and 3 + 2√5 is irrational.
Using Euclid's division algorithm:
867 = 255 × 3 + 102
255 = 102 × 2 + 51
102 = 51 × 2 + 0
Since the remainder is 0, the HCF is the divisor at this stage, which is 51.
Therefore, HCF of 867 and 255 is 51.

Polynomials
Solved Examples
Given polynomial: x² + 7x + 10
To find zeroes: x² + 7x + 10 = 0
⇒ (x + 2)(x + 5) = 0
⇒ x = -2 or x = -5
Sum of zeroes = -2 + (-5) = -7 = -coefficient of x/coefficient of x² = -7/1
Product of zeroes = (-2) × (-5) = 10 = constant term/coefficient of x² = 10/1
Hence verified.
If α and β are zeroes of a quadratic polynomial, then the polynomial is:
k[x² - (α + β)x + αβ], where k is a constant
Here α = 5, β = -3
α + β = 5 + (-3) = 2
αβ = 5 × (-3) = -15
So the polynomial is: k[x² - 2x - 15]
For simplest form, take k = 1: x² - 2x - 15
Performing polynomial division:
x - 3
x² - 2 | x³ - 3x² + 5x - 3
-(x³ + 0x² - 2x)
---------------
-3x² + 7x - 3
-(-3x² + 0x + 6)
----------------
7x - 9
Quotient = x - 3
Remainder = 7x - 9
For quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c, discriminant D = b² - 4ac
Here a = 1, b = 4, c = 5
D = 4² - 4×1×5 = 16 - 20 = -4 < 0
Since D < 0, the polynomial has no real zeroes.
For polynomial 2x² + 5x + k:
α + β = -b/a = -5/2
αβ = c/a = k/2
Given: α² + β² + αβ = 21/4
We know that α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ
So (α + β)² - 2αβ + αβ = 21/4
⇒ (α + β)² - αβ = 21/4
⇒ (-5/2)² - (k/2) = 21/4
⇒ 25/4 - k/2 = 21/4
⇒ -k/2 = 21/4 - 25/4 = -4/4 = -1
⇒ k/2 = 1 ⇒ k = 2
Since √3 and -√3 are zeroes, (x - √3)(x + √3) = x² - 3 is a factor.
Divide the polynomial by x² - 3:
x² - 3x + 2
x² - 3 | x⁴ - 3x³ - x² + 9x - 6
-(x⁴ + 0x³ - 3x²)
---------------
-3x³ + 2x² + 9x
-(-3x³ + 0x² + 9x)
------------------
2x² + 0x - 6
-(2x² + 0x - 6)
---------------
0
Now solve x² - 3x + 2 = 0
⇒ (x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 1 or x = 2
So all zeroes are: √3, -√3, 1, 2

Triangles
Solved Examples
By Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales theorem):
AD/DB = AE/EC
3/4 = 6/EC
EC = (6 × 4)/3 = 24/3 = 8 cm
In right triangle, by altitude rule:
BD² = AD × DC
BD² = 4 × 9 = 36
BD = √36 = 6 cm
Let ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
Then AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR = k (scale factor)
Draw altitudes AD and PS from A and P to BC and QR respectively
Since triangles are similar, ∠B = ∠Q and AD/PS = AB/PQ = k
Area(ΔABC) = 1/2 × BC × AD
Area(ΔPQR) = 1/2 × QR × PS
Area ratio = [1/2 × BC × AD] / [1/2 × QR × PS] = (BC/QR) × (AD/PS) = k × k = k²
But k = AB/PQ, so area ratio = (AB/PQ)²
Similarly, it equals (BC/QR)² and (AC/PR)²
By Basic Proportionality Theorem:
AD/BD = AE/CE
(4x - 3)/(3x - 1) = (8x - 7)/(5x - 3)
Cross multiply: (4x - 3)(5x - 3) = (3x - 1)(8x - 7)
20x² - 12x - 15x + 9 = 24x² - 21x - 8x + 7
20x² - 27x + 9 = 24x² - 29x + 7
0 = 4x² - 2x - 2
Divide by 2: 2x² - x - 1 = 0
(2x + 1)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1 or x = -1/2 (not possible as lengths can't be negative)
So x = 1
By Pythagoras theorem:
AC² = AB² + BC²
AC² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100
AC = √100 = 10 cm
Since ST ∥ PQ, by Basic Proportionality Theorem:
RS/SQ = RT/TQ
Given that PT divides QR in ratio 2:3, so RT:TQ = 2:3
Thus RS/SQ = 2/3
Given QS = 6 cm, so SQ = 6 cm
RS/6 = 2/3
RS = (2/3) × 6 = 4 cm

Trigonometry
Solved Examples
sin 30° = 1/2
cos 60° = 1/2
tan 45° = 1
So, 1/2 + 1/2 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0
sin A = opposite/hypotenuse = 3/5
Let opposite = 3k, hypotenuse = 5k
Then adjacent = √[(hypotenuse)² - (opposite)²] = √(25k² - 9k²) = √(16k²) = 4k
cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse = 4k/5k = 4/5
tan A = opposite/adjacent = 3k/4k = 3/4
LHS = (sin θ + cosec θ)² + (cos θ + sec θ)²
= sin²θ + 2sinθcosecθ + cosec²θ + cos²θ + 2cosθsecθ + sec²θ
= (sin²θ + cos²θ) + 2(1) + 2(1) + (cosec²θ + sec²θ) [since sinθcosecθ = 1, cosθsecθ = 1]
= 1 + 2 + 2 + (1 + cot²θ + 1 + tan²θ) [since cosec²θ = 1 + cot²θ, sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ]
= 5 + 2 + tan²θ + cot²θ
= 7 + tan²θ + cot²θ = RHS
7 sin²θ + 3 cos²θ = 4
Divide both sides by cos²θ:
7 tan²θ + 3 = 4 sec²θ
But sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ
So 7 tan²θ + 3 = 4(1 + tan²θ)
7 tan²θ + 3 = 4 + 4 tan²θ
7 tan²θ - 4 tan²θ = 4 - 3
3 tan²θ = 1
tan²θ = 1/3
tan θ = 1/√3
Let AB be the wall, AC be the ladder
AC = 15 m, ∠ACB = 60°
sin 60° = AB/AC
√3/2 = AB/15
AB = 15 × √3/2 = (15√3)/2 ≈ 12.99 m
LHS = (1 + cot θ - cosec θ)(1 + tan θ + sec θ)
= [1 + cosθ/sinθ - 1/sinθ] [1 + sinθ/cosθ + 1/cosθ]
= [(sinθ + cosθ - 1)/sinθ] [(cosθ + sinθ + 1)/cosθ]
= [(sinθ + cosθ)² - 1²] / (sinθ cosθ)
= [sin²θ + 2sinθcosθ + cos²θ - 1] / (sinθ cosθ)
= [1 + 2sinθcosθ - 1] / (sinθ cosθ)
= (2sinθcosθ)/(sinθcosθ) = 2 = RHS

Area Related to Circles
Solved Examples
Circumference = 2πr = 44 cm
2 × (22/7) × r = 44
r = (44 × 7)/(2 × 22) = (308)/(44) = 7 cm
Area = πr² = (22/7) × 7 × 7 = 22 × 7 = 154 cm²
Area of first circle = π(8)² = 64π cm²
Area of second circle = π(6)² = 36π cm²
Sum of areas = 64π + 36π = 100π cm²
Let radius of new circle be R
Then πR² = 100π
R² = 100 ⇒ R = 10 cm
Area of sector = (θ/360°) × πr²
= (60/360) × (22/7) × 6 × 6
= (1/6) × (22/7) × 36
= (22/7) × 6 = 132/7 ≈ 18.857 cm²
Diameter = 80 cm, so radius = 40 cm
Circumference = 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 40 = (1760/7) cm
Speed = 66 km/h = 66 × 1000 × 100 cm/h = 6,600,000 cm/h
Distance in 10 minutes = (10/60) × 6,600,000 = 1,100,000 cm
Number of revolutions = Total distance / Circumference
= 1,100,000 ÷ (1760/7) = 1,100,000 × (7/1760)
= (1,100,000/1760) × 7 = 625 × 7 = 4375
Area of square = 14 × 14 = 196 cm²
Area of four semicircles = area of two circles with diameter 14 cm each
Radius of each circle = 7 cm
Area of two circles = 2 × π × 7² = 2 × (22/7) × 49 = 2 × 22 × 7 = 308 cm²
Area of shaded region = Area of square + Area of two circles - Area of four semicircles
Wait, actually the four semicircles are drawn outward from the square.
The shaded region is the area inside the square but outside the semicircles.
Area of one semicircle = (1/2) × π × 7² = (1/2) × (22/7) × 49 = 77 cm²
Area of four semicircles = 4 × 77 = 308 cm²
But these semicircles overlap in the square, so the shaded area is:
Area of square - area of the four unshaded regions
This problem requires more detailed solution with diagram.
Area of design = Area of circle - Area of equilateral triangle
Area of circle = πr² = (22/7) × 32 × 32 = (22528/7) cm²
For equilateral triangle inscribed in circle of radius R:
Side of triangle = √3 R = √3 × 32 cm
Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4) × side² = (√3/4) × (32√3)²
= (√3/4) × 1024 × 3 = (√3/4) × 3072 = 768√3 cm²
Area of design = (22528/7) - 768√3 cm²
