If the points A (4, 3) and B (x, 5) are on the circle with the centre O (2, 3), find the value of x. Solution: If the points A (4, 3) and B (x, 5) are on the circle with the centre O (2, 3), then OA and OB will be the radii of the circle. OA = OB OA2 = OB2 (4 – 2)2 + (3 – 3)2 = (x – 2)2 + (5 – 3)2 [Using distance formula] 2 2 2 2 2 + 0 = (x – 2) + 2 0 = (x – 2)2 x–2=0 x=2 Thus, the required value of x is 2.

Which term of the A.P. 4, 12, 20, 28, … will be 120 more than its 21st term? Solution: The given A.P. is 4, 12, 20, 28, … Here, first term = a = 4 Common difference = d = a2 – a = 12 – 4 = 8 a21 = a + (21 – 1) d [an = a + (n – 1) d] = 4 + 20 × 8 = 4 + 160 = 164 120 more than the 21st term = 120 + 164 = 284 Let the nth term of the given A.P. be 284. an = a + (n – 1) d 284 = 4 + (n – 1) 8 280 = (n – 1) 8 280 35 n–1= 8 n = 35 + 1 = 36 Thus, the 36th term of the given A.P. is 120 more than its 21st term.
