Section A

Question 1.

In Mathematics, relations can be expressed in various ways. The matchstick patterns are based on linear relations. Different strategies can be used to calculate the number of matchsticks used in different figures.

One such pattern is shown below. Observe the pattern and answer the following questions using Arithmetic Progression.

(1)

Write the AP for the number of triangles used in the figures. Also, write the nᵗʰ term of this AP.

Question 2.

Gadisar Lake is located in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. It was built by the King of Jaisalmer and rebuilt by Gadsi Singh in the 14ᵗʰ century. The lake has many Chhatris. One of them is shown below. observe the picture From a point A h m above water level, the angle of elevation of top of Chhatri (point B) is 45° and angle of depression of its reflection in water (point C) is 60°. If the height of Chhatri above water level is approximately 10 m, then
