Question 1.
Using repeated division method, find the HCF of the following:
(i) 455 and 26
Answer:

Step 1: The larger number should be dividend 455 & smaller number should be divisor = 26
Step 2: After 1st division, the remainder becomes new divisor & the previous divisor becomes next dividend.
Step 3: This is done till remainder is zero.
Step 4: The last divisor is the HCF L.
∴ Ans: HCF is 13.

(ii) 392 and 256
Answer:
256 is smaller, so it is the 1st divisor

∴ HCF = 8

(iii) 6765 and 610
Answer:

∴ HCF = 5

(iv) 184, 230 and 276
Answer:
First let us take 184 & 230

∴ 46 is the HCF of 184 and 230
Now the HCF of the first two numbers is the dividend for the third number.

∴ Ans: HCF of 184, 230 & 276 is 46

Question 2.
Using repeated subtraction method, find the HCF of the following:
(i) 42 and 70
Answer:
Let number be m & n m > n
We do, m – n & the result of subtraction becomes new ‘m’. if m becomes less than n,
we do n – m and then assign the result as n. We should do this till m n. When m = n then ‘m’ is the HCF.
42 and 70
m = 70 n = 42
70 – 42 = 28

now m = 42, n = 28
42 – 28 = 14.

now m = 28, n = 14
28 – 14 = 14.

now m = 14. n = 14;
we stop here as m = n
∴ HCF of 42 & 70 is 14

(ii) 36 and 80
Answer:

28 – 8 = 20
20 – 8 = 12
12 – 8 = 4
8 = 4 = 4
now m = n = 4
∴ HCF is 4

(iii) 280 and 420
Answer:
Let m = 420, n = 280
m – n = 420 – 280 = 140
now m = 280, n = 140
m – n = 280 – 140 = 140
now m = n = 140
∴ HCF is 140

(iv) 1014 and 654
Answer:
Let m = 1014, n = 654
m – n = 1014 – 654 = 360
now m = 654, n = 360
m – n = 654 – 360 = 294
now m = 360, n = 294
m – n = 360 – 294 = 66
now m = 294 n = 66
m – n = 294 – 66 = 228
now m = 66, n = 228
n – m = 228 – 66 = 162
now m = 162, n = 66
= 162 – 66 = 96
n – m = 96 – 66 = 30
Similarly, 66 – 30 = 36
36 – 30 = 6
30 – 6 = 24
24 – 6 = 18
18 – 6 = 12
12 – 6 = 6 now m = n
∴ HCF of 1014 and 654 is 6

Question 3.
Do the given problems by repeated subtraction method and verify the result.
(i) 56 and 12

Answer:
Let n = 56 & n = 12
m – n = 56 – 12 = 44
now m = 44, n = 12
m – n = 44 – 12 = 32
m – n = 32 – 12 = 20
m – n = 20 – 12 = 8
n – m = 12 – 84
m – n = 8 – 4 = 4. now m = n
∴ HCF of 56 & 12 is 4

(ii) 320, 120 and 95

Answer:
Let us take 320 & 120 first m = 320, n = 120
m – n = 320 – 120 = 200
m = 200, n = 120
∴ m – n = 200 – 120 = 80
120 – 80 = 40
80 – 40 = 40
∴ m = n = 40 → HCF of 320, 120
Now let us find HCF of 40 & 95
m = 95, n = 40
∴ m – n = 95 – 40 = 55
55 – 40 = 15
40 – 15 = 25
25 – 15 = 10
15 – 10 = 5
HCF of 40 & 95 is 5
10 – 5 = 5
∴ HCF of 320 120 & 95 is 5

Question 4.
Kalai wants to cut identical squares as big as she can, from a piece of paper measuring 168mm and by 196mm. What is the length of the side of the biggest square? (To find HCF using repeated subtraction method)
Answer:
Sides are 168 & 196
To find HCF of 168 & 196, we are to use repeated subtraction method.
∴ m = 196, n = 168
m – n = 196 – 168 = 28

now n = 28, m = 168
m – n = 168 – 28 = 140

now m = 140, n = 28
m – n = 140 – 28 = 112

now m = 112, n = 28
m – n = 112 – 28 = 84

now m = 84, n = 28
m – n = 84 – 28 = 56

now m = 56, n = 28
m – n = 56 – 28 = 28
∴ HCF is 28
∴ Length of biggest square is 28

(ii) The compound interest on ₹8000 at 10% p.a for 1 year, compounded half yearly is ________ .
Answer:
₹ 820
Hint:
Compound interest (CI) = Amount – Principal
Amount = p \(\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2 n}\) [2n as it is compounded half yearly]
r = 10% p.a, for half yearly r = \(\frac{10}{2}\) = 5
∴ A = 8000 \(\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^{2 \times 1}\) = 8000 × \(\left(\frac{105}{100}\right)^{2}\) = 8820
CI = Amount – principal = 8820 – 8000 = ₹ 820

(iii) The annual rate of growth in population of a town is 10%. If its present population is 26620, then the population 3 years ago was ________ .
Answer:

(v) The compound interest on ₹ 16000 for 9 months at 20% p.a, compounded quarterly is ₹ 2522.
Answer:
True
Hint:
Principal (P) = 16000
n = 9 months = \(\frac{9}{12}\) years
r = 20% p.a
For compounding quarterly, we have to use below formula,
Amount(A) = P × \(\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{4 n}\)
Since quarterly we have to divide ‘r’ by 4

∴ Interest A – P = 18522 – 16000 = 2522 (True)

Question 3.

Rate of interest (r) = 2%p.a
for half yearly r = 1%
Difference between CI & SI is given by the formula

Question 9.
Find the rate of interest if the difference between C.I and S.I on ₹ 8000 compounded annually for 2 years is ₹ 20.
Answer:
Principal (P) = ₹ 8000
time period (n) = 2 yrs.
rate of interest (r) = ?
Difference between CI & SI is given by the formula
CI – SI = \(p\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{n}\)
Difference between CI & SI is given as 20
∴ 20 = 8000 × \(\left(\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2}\)
∴ \(\left(\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2}=\frac{20}{8000}=\frac{1}{400}\)
Taking square root on both sides
\(\frac{r}{100}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{400}}=\frac{1}{20}\)
∴ r = \(\) = 5 %

Question 10.
Find the principal if the difference between C.I and S.l on it at 15% p.a for 3 years is ₹ 1134.
Answer:
Rate of interest (r) = 15% p.a
time period (n) = 3 years
Difference between CI & SI is given as 1134
Principal = ? → required to find
Using formula for difference
Simple Interest SI = \(\frac{P n r}{100}\)
Compound Interest CI = p(1 + i)ⁿ – p

1134 = P[(1.15)³ – 1 – 0.45] = P(1.52 – 1.45) = P (0.07)
∴ p = \(\frac{1134 \times 100}{0.07 \times 100}=\frac{113400}{7}\)
P = ₹ 16200

∴ △PRQ congruent to △QSP.

Question 7.
From the given figure, prove that △ABC ~ △EDF

Answer:
From the △ABC, AB = AC
It is an isosceles triangle
Angles opposite to equal sides are equal
∴ ∠B = ∠C = 65°
∴ ∠B + ∠C = 65° + 65°
= 130°
We know that sum of three angles is a triangle = 180°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠A + 130° = 180°
∠A = 180° – 130°
∠A = 50°
From △EDF, ∠E = 50°
∴ Sum of Remaining angles = 180° – 50° = 130°
DE = FD
∴ ∠D = ∠F
From △ABC and △EDF ∴ △D = \(\frac{130}{2}\) = 65°
∠A = ∠E = 50°
∠B = ∠D = 65°
∠C = ∠F = 65°
∴ By AAA criteria △EDF ~ △ABC

3. ∠WET = ∠WHY	Since YH || TE corresponding angles
4. △WHY ~ △WET	By AAA criteria

Also △ WHY ~ △WET
∴ Corresponding sides are proportionated

⇒ 6+HE = \(\frac{6}{4}\) × 16
⇒ 6 + HE = 24
∴ HE = 24 – 6
HE = 18
Again \(\frac{4}{\mathrm{ET}}=\frac{4}{16}\)
ET = \(\frac{4}{4}\)
ET = 16

Question 9.

∠A = ∠U …… (2)
∠T = ∠N ……. (3)
∠E = x°
∠A = 2x°
Sum of three angles of a triangle = 180°
In △ EAT, x + 2x + ∠T = 180°
∠T = 180° – (x° + 2x°)
∠T = 180° – 3x°
Also in △BUN
(x + 40)° + x° + ∠U = 180°
x + 40° + x + ∠U = 180°
2x° + 40° + ∠U = 180°
∠U = 180° – 2x – 40° = 140° – 2x°
Now by (2)
∠A = ∠U
2x = 140° – 2x°
2x + 2x = 140°
4x = 140°
x = \(\frac{140}{4}\) = 35°
∠A = 2x° = 2 × 35° = 70°
∠N = x + 40° = 35° + 40° = 75°
∴ ∠T = ∠N = 75°
∠E = ∠8 = 35°
∠A = ∠U = 70°

Question 10.
In the given figure, UB || AT and CU ≡ CB Prove that △CUB ~ △CAT and hence △CAT is isosceles.

Answer:

Statements	Reasons
1. ∠CUB = ∠CBU	∵ In △CUB, CU = CB
2. ∠CUB = ∠CAB	∵ UB || AT, Corresponding angle if CA is the transversal.

So they become easy prey. After eating human flesh once, a tiger will not eat any other flesh. These tigers are called man-eaters. Join Corbett’s first man-eating tiger hunt was the Champawat Tiger. It was a Bengal tigress. It was responsible for nearly 436 deaths in Nepal and the Kumaon area of India.

Jim Corbett camped in the Kumaon district, and started tracking the tigress. After several unsuccessful attempts, Corbett managed to kill, the tiger when it killed 16 years old girl. He followed a trail of blood left there. After a whole day of pursuit, Corbett had to abandon the hunt, decided to use villagers and to organize a bait the next day near the Champa river.

The next day, Corbett shot the tigress dead, near the Chataar Bridge, in Champawat.

Answer:
A post-mortem was done on the Bengal Tigress. It showed that the upper and lower ’ canine teeth on the right side of her mouth were broken.
