Question 13.
Case Study-1
Makar Sankranti is a festival which mark the end of winters and the beginning of spring in India. This festival is known for eating sesame sweets and flying kites. As this festival mark the beginning of spring, so flying kites gives us a healthy exposure in the sun, which is a rich source of vitamin D.
A boy standing on a horizontal plane finds a kite flying at a distance of 150 m from him at an elevation of 30°. A girl standing on the roof of a 30 m high building, find the elevation of the kite to be 60°. If the boy and girl are on opposite sides of the kite, then answer the following questions.
(A) Draw a labelled figure on the basis of given information and find the vertical height of the kite from the ground. (2)
(B) What is the horizontal distance between the boy and the girl? (2)
Question 14.
Case Study-2
A passenger while boarding a plane slipped from the stairs and got hurt. The pilot took the passenger to the emergency clinic at the airport for treatment. Due to this, plane got delayed by half an hour. To reach the destination 1500 km away in time, so that the passengers could catch the connecting flight, the speed of the plane was increased by 250 km/h than the usual speed.
If x represents the usual speed of the plane, then answer the following questions:
(A) Let x represent the ten’s digit. Then find the quadratic equation in x. (2)
(B) What is the original two-digit number? (2)
