Question number 1 to 4 carry 1 mark each.1. kx2 – 7x + 12 = 0

x = 3 is root of given quadratic equation.So it satisfies the given equationSubstituting x = 3 in the given equation.

k(3)2 – 7(3) + 12 = 0 ½ k(9) – 21 + 12 = 0 9k – 9 = 0 9k = 9

STEP I Take a point on the plane of the paper and draw a circle withcentre O and radius OA = 5cm.

STEP III Draw perpendiculars to OA and OB at A and B respectivelysuppose these perpendiculars intersect at P. Then, PA and PBare required tangents. 1

Justification : In quadrilateral OAPB, we have OAP = OBP = 90º and AOB = 120º OAP + OBP + AOB + APB = 360º 90º + 90º + 120º + APB = 360º APB = 360º – (90º + 90º + 120º) APB = 60º
