Step 1

Step 2
ABC = 180 - AEC

[ Opposite angels of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary ]

Step 3
Since ABC = ADE
ADE = 180 - AEC

[ Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal ]

Step 4
ADE = AED

[ 180 - AEC = AED ]

Step 5
Since ADE is isosceles with angles ADE = AED, AD = AE, theref ore AE/AD = 1

(2)

v/u
Step 1
Equation of line y = mx + c
Since it goes through center, c is 0, hence equation is y = m x
Step 2
For f irst point x = v and y = wv, hence
wv = m v
m = w _____________(1)
Step 3
For second point x = u and y = v, hence
v=mu
m = v/u _____________(1)
Step 4
On comparing two equations, w = v/u

Step 1
T ake a look at the f ollowing image

Here A is the center of the f irst circle, and B the center of the second circle. T he common
chord is CD
We know that the line AB bisects CD, and is perpendicular to it
So the perpendicular f rom C to AB is half the length of CD. Let's call this length L
Area of ABC =

Step 1
Following f igure shows the required triangle,

Let's assume the sides of the equilateral triangle ABC be x.

T he area of the triangle ABC can be calculated using Heron's f ormula, since all sides of
the triangles are known.
S = (AB + BC + CA)/2
= (x + x + x)/2
= 3x/2 cm.
T he area of the ABC = [S(S - AB)(S - BC)(S - CA) ]

Step 1
We know that a chord subtends the same angle to points on the circumf erence of the circle
that are on the same side
Here, we know ADB = ACB
Also, in triangle APC, APC + ACP + PAC = 180
Step 2
We need to f ind DAC
DAC = PAC = APB - ACB = APB - DAC = 45 - 70 = 115

(6) 4 cm
Step 1
Following f igure shows the semicircle with the diameter AC,

According to the question, AB = 2 cm and BC = 8 cm.

T he diameter(AC) of the semicircle = AB + BC
=2+8
= 10 cm
Step 2
Let's draw a line OD f rom the center of the semicircle, as shown in the f ollowing f igure,

T he line OD, OA and OC are the radius of the semicircle.

T heref ore, OD = OA = OC = AC/2
= 10/2
= 5 cm
Now, OB = OA - AB
=5-2
= 3 cm
Step 3
In OBD, OBD = 90
BD2 = OD2 - OB2 [By the Pythagorean theorem]
BD2 = 52 - 32
BD2 = 16
BD2 = 4 2
BD = 4 cm
Step 4
Hence, the length of the BD is 4 cm.

Step 1
Here (x-1)! will not be divisible by x, only if x is a prime number.
Step 2
Between 16 and 54, let us count the prime numbers: 17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53.
Step 3
T here are 10 prime numbers, so the answer to the above question will be 10.

Step 1
Equation of line y = m x + c
Step 2
Substitute f irst point in the equation
2 = -1 m + c
m = (2 - c)/-1 ________________(1)
Step 3
Substitute second point in the equation
8 = -3 m + c
m = (8 - c)/-3 ________________(2)
Step 4
On equating value of m f rom both equations,
(2 - c)/-1 = (8 - c)/-3
-6 + 3c = -8 + 1c
2 c = -2
c = -1

Step 1
Equation of line y = m x + c
Step 2
Substitute f irst point in the equation
4=3m+c
m = (4 - c)/3 ________________(1)
Step 3
Substitute second point in the equation
2= 2m+ c
m = (2 - c)/2 ________________(2)
Step 4
On equating value of m f rom both equations,
(4 - c)/3 = (2 - c)/2
8 - 2c = 6 - 3c
1 c = -2
c = -2
Step 5
m = (4 - c)/3 = 2
Step 6
Equation of line : y = 2 x + c
Now when line intersect with x axis, value of y will be 0
0 = 2x + (-2)
x=1

(12) a. 2
Step 1
T here are two possible solutions, but we'll only look at one here
Step 2

2-1

=1

Step 3
Similarly, take the second term

3-2

and multiply it with

Step 4
We do the same f or all the other terms. T he last term is

9-8

and multiply it with

(13) b. 3
Step 1
Let us look at the units digits of a f ew powers of 7:
7 1 = 7, unit digit is 7
7 2 = 7 7 = 49, unit digit is 9
7 3 = 7 7 7 = 343, unit digit is 3
7 4 = 7 7 7 7 = 2201, unit digit is 1
7 5 = 7 7 7 7 7 = 15407, unit digit is 7
Step 2
We can see that the unit digit repeats af ter the power 4. We can f urther observe that the
unit digit of powers of 7 repeats af ter every power that is a multiple of 4.
Step 3
Remainder of

759

=3

4
T his means 759 is 3 more than being a perf ect multiple of 4.
Step 4
T heref ore, the unit digit of (724307)759 = unit digit of 7 3, which is 3.

Step 1
T he average of 11 numbers is 42, which means the sum of numbers is equal to 42 11 =
462.
Step 2
T he average of f irst 5 numbers is 44, which means the sum of f irst 5 numbers will be 44
5 = 220.
Step 3
T he average of last 5 numbers is 41, which means sum of last 5 numbers is 41 5 = 205.
Step 4
T he sum of f irst and last 5 numbers is 220 + 205 = 425.
Step 5
T his means the 5th number is 462 - 425 = 37.
