a) What are the possible outcomes ?
Solution:
The possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

b) Are they equally likely ? Why ?
Solution:
Yes. All the outcomes are equally likely since every event has equal chance of occurrence or no event has priority to occur.

c) Find the probability of a composite number turning up on the top face.
Solution:
Even : Turning up of a composite number
Possible outcomes = 4, 6
No. of possible outcomes = 2

Question 1.
If the radius of a cylinder is doubled keeping Its lateral surface area the same, then what is its height? [Page No. 225]
Solution:
Let the initial radius and height of the
cylinder be r and h.
Then L.S.A. = 2πrh
When r is doubled and the L.S.A. remains the same, then the height be hr By problem new L.S.A. = 2πrh
= 2π (2r) (h1)
⇒ 2πrh = 4πrh1
∴ \(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{rh}}{4 \pi \mathrm{r}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~h}\)
Height becomes its half.

Question 1.
Can you find the surface area of sphere in any other way ? (Page No. 235)
Solution:
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 10 Surface Areas and Volumes InText Questions 25
Height of the pyramid is equal to r.
To derive the formula of the surface area of a sphere, we imagine a sphere with many pyramids inside of it until the base of all the pyramids cover the entire surface area of the sphere. In the figure below, only one of such pyra¬mid is shown.
Then, do a ratio of the area of the pyramid to the volume of the pyramid.
The area of the.pyramid is A.
The volume of the pyramid is V = (1/3) × A × r = (A × r)/3
So, the ratio of area to volume is A/V = A + (A × r) / 3 = (3 × A) / (A × r) = 3 / r

For a large number of pyramids, let say that n is such large number, the ratio of the surface area of the sphere to the volume of the sphere is the same as 3/r.
For n pyramids, the total area is n × A- Also for n pyramids, the total volume is n × V.
Therefore, ratio of total area to total volume is n × A/n × V = A/ V and we already saw before that A / V = 3 / r

Further more, n × Apyramid = Asphere (The total area of the bases of all pyramids or n pyramids is approximately equal to the surface area of the sphere).
n × Vpyramid = Vsphere (The total Volume of all pyramids or n pyramids is approximately equal to the volume of the sphere.
Putting observation # 1 and # 2 together, we get

Little Bobby Summary in English

“Little Bobby” is the story of a naughty boy by Ritcha Rao. He was a troublemaker both at home and school. He one day asked his mother a bike for his coming birthday. Mother wanted Bobby to know how he had been behaving. So she asked Bobby to write a letter to God. She wanted him to write the reasons that made him eligible for a bike. Bobby started writing a letter. But he was not good to deserve a bike. So, he wrote four letters and tore them up as they were not true or helpful. Then he went to the nearby church. He stole the statue of Mother Mary. He came back and wrote to God “I’VE KIDNAPPED YOUR MOM. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE!”

Grammar

I. The Past Perfect and the Simple Past
Read the following sentences from the story.

We found we had little to carry. Some thief had removed most of my things.

In the above two sentences, the first one is in the simple past (found, had) and the second is in the past perfect tense (had removed).

As you can see, the action which occurred earlier, is expressed in the past perfect tense, whereas the action which occurred later, is expressed in the simple past tense. Here are a few more examples.
1. Sujatha had arrived at the station before the train came.
2. The doctor arrived after the patient had died.
3. I bought the ticket as soon as I boarded the bus.

Writing

I. Write a descriptive essay on any unusual or humorous incident you may have witnessed or experienced.
Answer:
Have you ever heard of or seen a dog walking on water ? Most of or rather all of you would say a firm ‘No’. Nay, you may even doubt if there could be a more foolish question on this earth than the one above. You have every right to doubt and you are right in doubting too I But the world is so full of surprising and unusual incidents and creatures that we can’t believe their existence unless we see them !

I am lucky and also proud to be a witness to one of such unbelievable and exciting incidents. I have a friend whose uncle from the USA gifted him on his last birthday a very strange looking young dog. My friend Rohit named his prized possession ‘Walkie’. Rohit loves to spend every second of his free time with Walkie. Even Walkie likes to spend more with Rohit than with any other member of the family. Walkie accompanies Rohit to every place except, of course, school.

On one hot summer day we all thought of going to the river bank to cool ourselves by swimming in the river. As usual, Walkie joined us along with Rohit. And as Rohit walked into the water in his swim clothes, Walkie too stepped into the river. And then came the stunning discovery that made us dumbstruck ! Walkie was walking on the surface of the water as if it was land ! For a few moments, none of us could believe our eyes ! To be doubly sure of truth of what we saw, we made Walkie go this way, that way in – no, on – the river. And as if unaware of its unusual ability, Walkie jumped„hopped, leapt and ran all around the river – on the surface – to our commands.

That evening everyone of our friends was telling Walkie’s story to every person we came across. And everyone of us got the same response – “Don’t be a fool and don’t try to make us a fool !

The news spread like a wildfire ! The following day the whole village was on the bank of the river. And Walkie was the focus of everyone’s attention. And to thrill every spectator, Walkie crossed the river – walking on the surface – twice or thrice ! Walkie became the hero of our village and Rohit enjoyed his pet’s popularity to his heart’s content.

And it has become our hobby now to frequent to the riverside along with Walkie !

Here is a short narration. Read it carefully and make a list of important points. Suggest a suitable title for it.

The young doctor married a rich fat foreign woman. He told her ‘the episode of the snake and the mirror’. She laughed heartily. He went on talking about cobras and some funny facts (associated) related to them. He said to her “Cobras are the most poisonous, active and dangerous snakes. But, surprisingly, most Hindus worship them. It is funny to know that some women drop eggs and pour milk into the ant hills where cobras usually reside.

It is funny to know that some people believe cobras dance to the tunes of charmers. In fact, they have no ears. It is equally humorous to be aware of the fact that most cobra victims go to the charmers instead of the doctors. The charmers enchant some so-called mantras taking some neem leaves into their hands. The cobra victim dies and they say the victim came late to them. It is funnier to know that some farmers cremate cobras and perform funeral rites as if one of the members of their family has died.” “Are there any other funny stories related to cobras?” The young wife enquired. “Yes”. There are so many stories to tell but! will tell them tomorrow. The patients may be waiting for me at hospital.” The doctor said and left for hospital in a hurry.
Answer:
Cobras : Some Beliefs Among Hindus

  • An Indian doctor tells his foreign wife about cobras and some beliefs about them.
  • Cobras are the most poisonous, active, and dangerous snakes.
  • Yet, most Hindu women worship cobras.
  • Women offer eggs and milk to cobras.
  • People believe cobras dance to the tunes of charmers. Cobras do not have ears.
  • Cobra victims go to charmers, instead of to doctors.
  • Some farmers cremate cobras and perform funerals.

Listening

Practise listening carefully. Then you will be able to speak.
Your teacher will tell you the story, ‘Master of the Game.’ Listen to it carefully and answer the following questions.

Master of the Game

An old man who lived in a small side street in the city of Mumbai had to put up with the nuisance of having boys play cricket outside his house, at night.

One evening when the boys were particularly noisy, he went out to talk to them. He explained that he was a pensioner, who was happiest when he could see or hear boys playing his favourite game, cricket. He said he would give them ? 25 each week to play in the street at night. The boys were thrilled. They were being paid to do something they enjoyed I At the end of the first week they knocked at the old man’s house and asked to be paid.

He did so.
The second week when they asked for payment he said he had run out of money and sent them away with only ₹15.

The third week the man said he had not yet received his pension and gave them only ₹10

The boys were very disappointed but there was not much they could do about it.

The fourth week the man said he could not afford to pay them ₹25 as he had promised, but would give them ₹ 5 each week without fail.

This was too much for the boys.
“You expect us to play seven days a week for a measly ₹5!” they yelied. “Go to blazes.” They stormed away and never played on the street again.

AP Board 9th Class English Solutions Chapter 1A The Snake And The Mirror

Now, answer the following questions.

1. What made the old man talk to the boys?
Answer:
The old man was living in a small side street in Mumbai. Some boys were playing cricke outside his house every night. They were very noisy. The old man Was unable to put up with that nuisance. So, he decided to talk to the boys.

2. Why did the boys stop playing cricket in the night outside the old man’s house?
Answer:
The old man promised to pay Rs. 25 a week to the boys for playing his favourite game near his house. After some time he paid Rs. 15 a week. Later he reduced it to Rs. 10. When he said he couldn’t pay more than Rs. 5 a week, the boys said it was too little for a week’s play. So they stopped playing cricket there.

The Snake And The Mirror Summary in English

Vaikom Muhammad Basheer is the writer of ‘The Snake and the Mirror”. He is a famous story teller from Kerala. The story is humorous. It tells us the experience of a young home doctor with a snake. The doctor was living alone in a small room with tiled roof. It was a hot summer night. He entered his room late at night. He tried to sleep but couldn’t. It was hot and he sat on a chair in front of a mirror and tried to read a book. There was a noise in the roof once or twice. But he did not bother about it because there were a lot many rats moving around. He started dreaming about marrying a fat, rich lady doctor.

Suddenly there was a ‘thud’ like sound. As he turned back to see what it was, there was a strong, long cobra coiling around his left hand with its hood wide open and just four inches away from his face. He at once became like a stone in fear. But his mind was active. As he was thinking of how to save himself, the snake saw its image in the mirror. It seemed that the snake was interested in its beauty. So it slipped down on to the table and moved towards the mirror. The doctor took this opportunity to run away from the room to a friend’s house. The following morning he came! back to his room with his friend. There was no snake. The room was almost empty. Some! thief had taken away all his belongings except a dirty vest. The doctor answers a listener’s question by saying he married a woman who was lean and an expert in running!

AP State Syllabus 9th Class Maths Solutions 8th Lesson Quadrilaterals Exercise 8.3

Question 1.
The opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x – 2)° and (x + 48)°. Find the measure of each angle of the parallelogram.
Solution:
Given that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x – 2)° and (x + 48)°
Thus 3x – 2 = x + 48
(∵ opp. angles of a //gm are equal)
3x – x = 48 + 2
2x = 50
x = \(\frac{50}{2} \) = 25°
∴ The given angles are (3 x 25 – 2)° and (25 + 48) °
= (75 – 2)° and 73° = 73° and 73°
We know the consecutive angles are supplementary.
∴ The other two angles are (180°-73°) and (180°-73°)
= 107° and 107°
∴ The four angles are 73°, 107°, 73° and 107°.

AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3

Question 2.
Find the measure of all the angles of a parallelogram, if one angle is 24° less than the twice of the smallest angle.
Solution:
Let the smallest angle = x
Then its consecutive angle = 180 – x°
By problem (180 – x)° = (2x- 24)°
(∵ opp. angles are equal)
180 + 24 = 2x + x
3x = 204
x = \(\frac{204}{3} \) = 68°
∴ The angles are
68°; (2 x 68 – 24)°; 68°; (2 x 68 – 24)°
= 68°, 112°, 68°, 112°

Question 3.
In the given figure ABCD is a paral-lelogram and E is the mid point of the side BC. If DE and AB are produced to meet at F, show that AF = 2AB.
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 1
Solution:
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 2
Given that □ABCD is a parallelogram.
E is the midpoint of BC.
Let G be the midpoint of AD.
Join G, E.
Now in ΔAFD, GE is the line joining the midpoints G, E of two sides AD and FD.
∴GE // AF and GE = \(\frac{1}{2}\)AF
But GE = AB [ ∵ ABEG is a parallelo¬gram and AB, GE forms a pair of opp. sides]
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = AB ⇒ AF = 2AB
Hence Proved.

Question 4.
In the given figure ABCD is a paral¬lelogram. P, Q are the midpoints of sides AB and DC respectively. Show that AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 3
Solution:
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 4
□ABCD is a parallelogram.
P, Q are the mid points of AB and CD.
Join Q, P.
Now AB = CD (Opp. sides of a //gm)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)AB = \(\frac{1}{2}\)CD
PB = QC
Also PB // QC.
Now in □PBCQ;
PB = QC; PB//QC
Hence □PBCQ is a parallelogram.

Question 5.
ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. AD bisects exterior angle QAC and CD//BA as shown in the figure. Show that i) ∠DAC = ∠BCA
ii) ABCD is a parallelogram.
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 5
Solution:
Given that AABC is isosceles; AB = AC
AD is bisector of ∠QAC

i) In ΔABC, AB = AC ⇒ ∠B = ∠ACB
(angles opp. to equal sides)
Also ∠QAC = ∠B + ∠ACB
∠QAC = ∠BCA + ∠BCA
(∵∠BCA = ∠B)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠QAC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [2 ∠BCA]
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠BCA [ ∵ AD is bisector of ∠QAC]

AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3

ii) From (i) ∠DAC = ∠BCA
But these forms a pair of alt. int. angles for the pair of lines AD and BC; AC as a transversal.
∴ AD//BC
In □ABCD ; AB // DC; BC // AD
□ABCD is a parallelogram.

Question 6.
ABCD is a parallelogram AP and CQ are perpendiculars drawn from vertices A and C on diagonal BD (see figure). Show that 1) ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD ii) AP = CQ.
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 6
Solution:
Given that □ABCD is a parallelogram.
BD is a diagonal.
AP ⊥ BD and CQ ⊥ BD
i) In ΔAPB and ΔCQD
AB = CD ( ∵ Opp. sides of //gm ABCD)
∠APB = ∠CQD (each 90°)
∠PBA = ∠QDC (alt. int. angles for the lines AB and DC)
∴ ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD (AAS congruence)

ii) From (1) ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD
⇒ AP = CQ (CPCT)

Question 7.
In Δs ABC and Δs DEF, AB = DC and AB//DE; BC = EF and BC//EF. Vertices A, B and C are joined to vertices D, E and F respectively (see figure). Show that
i) ABED is a parallelogram
ii) BCFE is a parallelogram
iii) AC = DF
iv) ΔABC = ΔDEF
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 7
Solution:
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 8
Given that in ΔABC and ΔDEF
AB = DE and AB // DE
BC = EF and BC//EF.
i) In □ABED AB//ED and AB = ED
Hence □ABED is a parallelogram.

ii) In □BCFE; BC = EF and BC//EF
Hence □BCFE is a parallelogram.

iii) ACFD is a parallelogram (In a paral-lelogram opposite sides are equal).
So, AC = DF.

iv) Consider ΔABC = ΔDEF
AB = DE (given);
AC = DF (proved)
BC = EF (given)
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF (SSS congruency rule).

Question 8.
ABCD is a parallelogram. AC and BD are the diagonals intersect at ‘O’. P and Q are the points of trisection of the diagonal BD. Prove that CQ//AP and also AC bisects PQ.
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 9
Solution:
Given □ABCD is a parallelogram;
BD is a diagonal.
P, Q are the points of trisection of BD.
In ΔAPB and ΔCQD
AB = CD (•.• Opp. sides of //gm ABCD)
BP = DQ (given)
∠ABP = ∠CDQ (alt. int. angles for the lines AB//DC, BD as a transversal)
ΔAPB = ΔCQD (SAS congruence)
Similarly in ΔAQD and ΔCPB
AD = BC (opp. sides of //gm ABCD)
DQ = BP (given)
∠ADQ = ∠CBP (all int. angles for the lines AD//BC, BD as a transversal)
ΔAQD ≅ ΔCPB
Now in □APCQ
AP = CQ (CPCT of AAPB, ACQD)
AQ = CP (CPCT of AAQD and ACPB)
∴ □APCQ is a parallelogram.
∴ CQ//AP (opp. sides of//gm APCQ)
Also AC bisects PQ. [ ∵ diagonals of //gm APCQ]

Question 9.
ABCD is a square. E, F, G and H are the mid points of AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Such that AE = BF = CG = DH. Prove that EFGH is a square.
Solution:
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.3 10
Given that ABCD is a square.
E, F, G, H are the mid points of AB, BC, CD and DA.
Also AE = BF = CG = DH
In ΔABC; E, F are the mid points of sides AB and BC.
∴ EF//AC and EF = \(\frac{1}{2}\) AC
Similarly GH//AC and GH = AC
GF//BD and GF = \(\frac{1}{2}\) BD
HE//BD and HE = \(\frac{1}{2}\) BD

But AC = BD (∵ diagonals of a square)
∴ EF = FG = GH = HE
Hence EFGH is a rhombus.
Also AC ⊥ BD
(∵ diagonals of a rhombus)
∴ In //gm OIEJ [ ∵ 0I // EJ; IE // OJ]
We have ∠IOJ = ∠E
[ ∵ Opp. angles of a //gm]
∴ ∠E – 90°
Hence in quad. EFGH; all sides are equal and one angle is 90°.
∴ EFGH is a square.

AF = BE ( ∵ opp. sides of rectangle □ABEF)
AD = BC (∵ opp. sides of //gm □ABCD)
DF = CE (∵ AB = DC = DE + EC , AB = EF = DE + DF)

Solution:
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.2 2
□ABCD is a rhombus.
Let AC and BD meet at O’.
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD
∠OAB = ∠OCD (alt.int. angles)
AB = CD (def. of rhombus)
∠OBA = ∠ODC ………………….(1) (alt. int. angles)
∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD (ASA congruence)
Thus AO = OC (CPCT)
Also ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOD …………..(2)
[ ∵ AO = OC; AD = CD; OD = OD SSS congruence]
Similarly we can prove
ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOB ……………. (3)
From (1), (2) and (3) we have
ΔAOB ≅ ΔBOC ≅ ΔCOD ≅ ΔAOD
∴ Diagonals of a rhombus divide it into four congruent triangles.

(OR)
In a quadrilateral ABCD, the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B are intersects at ‘O’ then prove that ∠AOB = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠C + ∠D)
Solution:
AP Board 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.2 3
In a quadrilateral □ABCD
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
(angle sum property)
∠C + ∠D = 360° – (∠A + ∠B)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠C + ∠D) = 180 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠A + ∠B) ………….. (1)
(∵ dividing both sides by 2) .
But in ΔCOD
\(\frac{1}{2}\)∠C + \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠D + ∠COD = 180°
\(\frac{1}{2}\)∠C + \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠D = 180° – ∠COD
∴\(\frac{1}{2}\)(∠C +∠D) = 180° -∠COD………….(2)
From (1) and (2);
180° – ∠COD = 180° – \(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠A + ∠B)
∴ ∠COD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠A + ∠B)
Hence proved.
