=72
When S.P=72 Rs,
M.P=100 Rs
When S.P=5760 Rs, M.P= 5760
17

Exercise 1.8
1. A man can complete a work in 4 days, whereas a woman can complete it in only
12 days. If they work together, in how many days, can the work be completed?
Time taken by a man to finish the work = 4 days.
Work done by a man in 1 day = 1/4
Time taken by a woman to finish the work = 12days.
Work done by a woman in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by both in 1 day = 1/4 + 1/12 = 4/12= 1/3

39
Time taken by both to finish the work = 1/3days, days.
Hence both can finish the work in 1/3days
2. Two boys can finish a work in 10 days when they work together. The first boy
can do it alone in 15 days. Find in how many days will the second boy do it
all by himself?
Time taken by (A + B) to finish the work = 1/10days.
Time taken by first boy to finish the work 15 days.
So the Portion of work done by the second=1/10-1/15

1
= /30
so time taken by the second boy to finish the work=1(1/30)days
=30 days
3. Three men A, B and C can complete a job in 8, 12 and 16 days respectively.

A and B work together for 3 days; then B leaves and C joins. In how many
days, can A and C finish the work?
Time taken by A to finish the work = 1/8days.
Time taken by B to finish the work= 1/12 days
Time taken by C to finish the work= 1/16days
So the Portion of work done by A and B=1/8+1/12

5
= /24
So the Portion of work done by A and Bin 3 days=

5 5
=3( /24)= /8
5 3
The Portion of work left out unfinished=1- /8= /8
The Portion of work done by A and B=1/8+1/1

3
= /16

40
3
Number of days needed to complete /8th Portion of the work =3/8: 3/16
3 16
= /8x /3
=2 days
4. A tap A can fill a drum in 10 minutes. A second tap B can fill in 20 minutes.
A third tap C can empty in 15 minutes. If initially the drum is empty, find
when it will be full if all taps are opened together?
Time taken by tap A to fill the drum = 10hours.
Work done by tap A in 1 hour = 1/10
Time taken by tap B to fill the drum= 20 hours.
Work done by tap B in 1 hour = 1/20
Time taken by tap A to fill the drum = 15hours.
Work done by tap A in 1 hour = 1/15

1 1 1
When all the taps opened then the Portion of drum filled in one minute= /10+ /20- /15
5 1
= /60= /12
So the time taken for the taps to fill the drum =1(1/12)=12 minutes
5. A can finish a job in 20 days and B can complete it in 30 days. They work
together and finish the job. If ` 600 is Paid as wages, find the share of each.
Time taken by A to finish the work = 1/20days.
Time taken by B to finish the work= 1/30 days
The ratio of work done by A, B in 1 day=1/20: 1/30
The ratio of their wages=3:2 Type equation here.
Total wages Paid for the work=600Rs
3
So the wage received by A== /5600 =360 Rs
2
So the wage received by B== /5600 =240 Rs

41
6. A, B and C can do a work in 12, 24 and 8 days respectively. They all work for
one day. Then C leaves the group. In how many days will A and B complete
the rest of the work?
Time taken by A,B,C to finish the work = 1/12, 1/24, 1/18
So the Portion of work done by A and B and C
Together in One Day=1/12+1/24+1/8
6
= /24
1
= /4
1
Remaining Portion=1- /4
3
= /4
1
The Portion of work done by A,B together is /12+1/24 =3/24=1/8
3
Time taken for A and B together to complete /4
3 1
of the work= /4 /8
3
/48 = 6 days
7. A tap can fill a tank in 15 minutes. Another tap can empty it in 20 minutes.
Initially the tank is empty. If both the taps start functioning, when will the
tank become full?
Time taken by tap A to fill the tank = 15 hours.
Work done by tap A in 1 min= 1/15
Time taken by tap B to fill the tank = 20 hours.
Work done by tap B in 1 min = 1/20
Work done by (A + B) in 1 min = (1/15- 1/20) = 1/60

1
So the time taken to fill the tank=1( /60) =60min

2. In an isosceles triangle AB = AC and +B = 65c. Which is the shortest side.
C
Sol: B C
Given B=65, C=65
Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180A+B+C=180
A+65+65=180
A+130=180
A=180-130
A=50
In ABC A =50,,B=C=65
43
A is smallest angle.
The side opposite to smallest angle is smallest.
BC is smallest side.
3. PQR is a triangle right angled at P. If PQ = 10 cm and PR = 24 cm, find QR.
In PQR
P=90
The hypotenuse isQRR
Given PR= 24cm
PQ=10cm
QR= + 24cm x
=24 + 10
=576 + 100 P Q
= 676 10cm
QR=26cm
4. Check whether the following can be the sides of a right angledtriangle

AB = 25 cm, BC = 24 cm, AC = 7cm.
AB=25 cm
AB2=252=625
BC2=242=576
AC=7, AC2=72 =49
Now 576+49=625
BC2+AC2=AB2
So the sides AB, BC, AC from the sides of a right angled Triangle.
5. Q and R of a triangle PQR are 25 and 65. Is DPQR a right angledtriangle?

Moreover PQ is 4cm and PR is 3 cm. Find QR.

P+Q+R=180
P=180-(Q+R)
180-(25+65) 3cm

ABC is a right angled triangle with B=90 15cm 12cm
2 2 2
So AC =AB +BC
Here BC =x, 152=122+x2
X2=152-122
=225-144
X2=81 C B
X=9 m
7. Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side 10 cm.
ABC is an equilateral triangle with side 10 cm A

AD is drawn Perpendicular to BC
BD=DC 10cm 10cm
BD=DC=10\2 =5cm
From the right angled triangle ABD right angledat D.
AB2=AD2+BD2 B 5cm 5cm C
2 2 2
10 =AD +5 A
AD2=102-52
AD2=100-25
AD2=75 10cm 10cm
AD=75
=53 cm
The length of the altitude is 53 cm. B C
8. Are the numbers 12, 5 and 13 form a Pythagorean Triplet?
122=144
52=25
132=169
144+25=169
122+52=132
The numbers 12,5,13 form a Pythagoras Triplet.

9. A Painter sets a ladder up to reach the bottom of a
Second store window 16 feet above the ground.
The base of the ladder is 12 feet from the house.
While the Painter mixes the Paint a neighbors
Dog bumps the ladder which moves the base 2
Feet farther away from the house. How far up side
Of the house does the ladder reach?
In ABC B=90
AC is the length of ladder
Given AB=16m,
BC=12m
AC= +
==16 + 12
=256 + 144
=400
=20m
Length of ladder is 20m

Now AC=20m
BC=14m
AB2+BC2=AC2
AB2+142=202
AB2+196=400
AB2=400-196
=204
AB=51 4
=251 ft
The ladder reaches upside of the house at 251 ft
Exercise 2.2
1. Choose the correct answer:

(i) The _______ of a circle is the distance from the centre to the circumference.
(A) Sector (B) segment (C) diameters (D) radius
Ans: Radius
(ii) The relation between radius and diameter of a circle is ______

(A) Radius = 2 diameters (B) radius = diameter + 2
(C) Diameter = radius + 2 (D) diameter = 2 (radius)
Ans: diameter = 2 (radius)

46
(iii) The longest chord of a circle is
(A) radius (B) secant (C) diameter (D) tangent
Ans: ) diameter
2. If the sum of the two diameters is 200 mm, find the radius of the circle in cm.
Sum of 2 diameters=200mm
So length of 1 diameters= =100mm
=2xradius
Radius= =50mm=5cm
3. Define the circle segment and sector of a circle.
Segment of a Circle
A chord of a circle divides the circular region
Into two Parts. Each Part is called as segment of
The circle.
Sector of a Circle
The circular region enclosed by an arc of a circle and
the two radii at its end Points is known as Sector of a circle
4. Define the arc of a circle.
AB is a chord. The chord AB divides the

Circle into two Parts.
The curved Parts ALB and AMB are known as Arcs
5. Define the tangent of a circle and secant of a circle.
Secant of a Circle
A line Passing through a circle and intersecting the circle at two Points is called
The secant of the circle
Tangent
Tangent is a line that touches a circle at exactly one Point, and the Point is
Known as Point of contact

Chapter 3: Practical Geometry
Exercise 4.1
Draw a concentric circles for the following measurements of radii, find out the width of
each circular ring.
1. 4cm and 6cm.
Construction:
Draw a rough diagram and mark the measurements
With O as centre draw a circle OA = 5.5cm.
With O as centre draw a circle OB = 3.5cm.
Now the concentric circle is drawn.
The width of the circular ring = OA OB
= 5.5 3.5
= 2cm

48
Construction:
= 5.5 3.5
= 2cm

49
Construction:
= 6.8 4.2
= 2.6cm
50
Construction:
With O as centre draw a circle OB = 5cm.
= 6.5 5
= 1.5cm

51
Construction:
= 8.1 6.2
= 1.9cm

52
Construction:
With O as centre draw a circle OA = 7cm.
= 7 5.3
= 1.7cm
