RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables Ex 13.1

Question 1.
Three angles of a quadrilateral are respectively equal to 110°, 50° and 40°. Find its fourth angle.
Solution:
Sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
Three angles are = 110°, 50° and 40°
∴ Fourth angle = 360° – (110° + 50° + 40°)
= 360° – 200° = 160°

Question 2.
In a quadrilateral ABCD, the angles A, B, C and D are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 4 : 5. Find the measures of each angle of the quadrilateral.
Solution:
Sum of angles of a quadrilateral ABCD = 360°
Ratio in angles = 1 : 2 : 4 : 5
Let first angle = x
Second angle = 2x
Third angle = 4x
and fourth angle = 5x
∴ x + 2x + 4x + 5x = 360°
⇒ 12x = 360° ⇒ x = \(\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 12 }\)  = 30°
∴ First angle = 30°
Second angle = 30° x 2 = 60°
Third angle = 30° x 4 = 120°
Fourth angle = 30° x 5 = 150°

Question 3.
The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral. [NCERT]
Solution:
Sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
Ratio in the angles = 3 : 5 : 9 : 13
Let first angle = 3x
Then second angle = 5x
Third angle = 9x
and fourth angle = 13x
∴ 3x + 5x + 9x+ 13x = 360°
⇒ 30x = 360°
⇒ x = \(\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 30 }\) = 12°
∴ First angle = 3x = 3 x 12° = 36°
Second angle = 5x = 5 x 12° = 60°
Third angle = 9x = 9 x 12° = 108°
Fourth angle = 13 x 12° = 156°

Question 1.
Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x- 2)° and (50 – x)°. Find the measure of each angle of the parallelogram.
Solution:
∵ Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
∴ 3x – 2 = 50 – x
⇒ 3x + x – 50 + 2
⇒ 4x = 52
⇒ x = \(\frac { 52 }{ 4 }\) = 13
∴ ∠A = 3x – 2 = 3 x 13 – 2 = 39° – 2 = 37°
∠C = 50° -x = 50° – 13 = 37°
But∠A + B = 180°
∴ 37° + ∠B = 180°
⇒ ∠B = 180° – 37° = 143°
RD Sharma Class 9 PDF Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
and ∠D = ∠B (Opposite angles of a ||gm)
∴ ∠D = 143°
Hence angles and 37°, 143°, 37°, 143°

Question 2.
If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent angle, find the angles of the parallelogram.
Solution:
Let in ||gm ABCD,
∠A =x
Then ∠B = \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\) x
Linear Equations in Two Variables Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions
But, ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of two adjacent angles of a ||gm)
⇒ x + \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\)x = 180°
⇒ \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\)x = 180°
⇒ x = 180° x \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) = 108°
∴ ∠A = 108°
and ∠B = 108° x \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\) = 72°
But, ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D (Opposite angles of a ||gm)
∴ ∠C = 108°, ∠D = 72°
Hence angles are 108°, 72°, 108°, 72°

Question 3.
Find the measure of all the angles of a parallelogram, if one angle is 24° less than twice the smallest angle.
Solution:
Let smallest angle of a ||gm = x
Then second angle = 2x – 24°
But these are consecutive angles
∴ x + (2x- 24°) = 180°
⇒ x + 2x – 24° = 180°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solution Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
⇒ 3x = 180° + 24° = 204°
⇒ x =\(\frac { { 204 }^{ \circ } }{ 3 }\)  = 68°
∴ Smallest angle = 68°
and second angle = 2x 68° – 24°
= 136°-24° = 112°
∵ The opposite angles of a ||gm are equal Other two angles will be 68° and 112°
∴ Hence angles are 68°, 112°, 68°, 112°

Question 4.
The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22 cm. If the longer side measures 6.5 cm what is the measure of the shorter side?
Solution:
In a ||gm ABC,
Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Perimeter = 22cm
and longest side = 6.5 cm
Let shorter side = x
∴ 2x (6.5 + x) = 22
⇒ 13 + 2x = 22
⇒ 2x = 22 – 13 = 9
⇒ x = \(\frac { 9 }{ 2 }\) = 4.5
∴ shorter side = 4.5cm

Question 5.
In a parallelogram ABCD, ∠D = 135°, determine the measure of ∠A and ∠B.
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD,
∠D = 135°
But, ∠A + ∠D = 180° (Sum of consecutive angles)
⇒∠A+ 135° = 180°
Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables RD Sharma Solutions
⇒ ∠A = 180° – 135° = 45°
∵ ∠B = ∠D (Opposite angles of a ||gm)
∴ ∠B = 135°

Question 6.
ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠A = 70°. Compute ∠B, ∠C and ∠D.
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD,
∠A = 70°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of consecutive angles)
⇒ 70° + ∠B = 180°
⇒ ∠B = 180° – 70° = 110°
But ∠C = ∠A and ∠D = ∠B (Opposite angles of a ||gm)
∠C = 70° and ∠D = 110°
Hence ∠B = 110°, ∠C = 70° and ∠D = 110°

RD Sharma Class 9 Book Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD,
∠A + ∠B = 180°
(Sum of consecutive angles) But, ∠A = 75°
Linear Equations in Two Variables With Solutions PDF RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions
∴ ∠B = 180° – ∠A = 180° – 75° = 105°
∴ DBA = 105° -60° = 45°
But ∠CDB = ∠DBA (alternate angles)
= 45°
and ∠ADB = ∠DBC = 60°

Question 9.
In the figure, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠A = 60°. If the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at P, prove that AD = DP, PC= BC and DC = 2AD.
RD Sharma Class 9 Maths Book Questions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Solution:
Given : In ||gm ABCD,
∠A = 60°
Bisector of ∠A and ∠B meet at P.
To prove :
(i) AD = DP
(ii) PC = BC
(iii) DC = 2AD
Construction : Join PD and PC
Proof : In ||gm ABCD,
∠A = 60°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of excutive angles)
⇒ 60° + ∠B = 180°
∴ ∠B = 1809 – 60° = 120°
∵ DC || AB
∠PAB = ∠DPA (alternate angles)
⇒ ∠PAD = ∠DPA (∵ ∠PAB = ∠PAD)
∴ AB = DP
(PA is its angle bisector, sides opposite to equal angles)
(ii) Similarly, we can prove that ∠PBC = ∠PCB (∵ ∠PAB = ∠BCA alternate angles)
∴ PC = BC
(iii) DC = DP + PC
= AD + BC [From (i) and (ii)]
= AD + AB = 2AB (∵BC = AD opposite sides of the ||gm)
Hence DC = 2AD

Question 10.
In the figure, ABCD is a parallelogram and E is the mid-point of side BC. If DE and AB when produced meet at F, prove thatAF = 2AB.
Solution:
Given : In ||gm ABCD,
E a mid point of BC
DE is joined and produced to meet AB produced at F
RD Sharma Mathematics Class 9 Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
To prove : AF = 2AB
Proof : In ∆CDE and ∆EBF
∠DEC = ∠BEF (vertically opposite angles)
CE = EB (E is mid point of BC)
∠DCE = ∠EBF (alternate angles)
∴ ∆CDE ≅ ∆EBF (SAS Axiom)
∴ DC = BF (c.p.c.t.)
But AB = DC (opposite sides of a ||gm)
∴ AB = BF
Now, AF = AB + BF = AB + AB = 2AB
Hence AF = 2AB

Linear Equations in Two Variables Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions
∴ ∠D = ∠B = 135° (Opposite angles of a ||gm)
But ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of consecutive angles)
⇒ ∠B + 135° = 180°
∴ ∠A = 180° – 135° = 45°
But∠C = ∠B = 45° (Opposite angles of a ||gm)
∴ Angles are 45°, 135°, 45°, 135°.

ABCD is a rectangle with ∠ABD = 40°. Determine ∠DBC.
Solution:
In rectangle ABCD,
Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∠B = 90°, BD is its diagonal
But ∠ABD = 40°
and ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 90°
⇒ 40° + ∠DBC = 90°
⇒ ∠DBC = 90° – 40° = 50°
Hence ∠DBC = 50°

Question 5.

Solution:

∴ AB = CD and AB || CD
(Opposite sides of a ||gm are equal and parallel)
∴ EB || DF and EB = DF (∵ E and F are mid points of AB and CD)
∴ EBFD is a ||gm.

Question 6.

Solution:
Given : In ||gm, ABCD. P and Q are the points of trisection of the diagonal BD
RD Sharma Book Class 9 PDF Free Download Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
To prove : (i) CQ || AP
AC bisects PQ
Proof: ∵ Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
∴ AO = OC and BO = OD
∴ P and Q are point of trisection of BD
∴ BP = PQ = QD …(i)
∵ BO = OD and BP = QD …(ii)
Subtracting, (ii) from (i) we get
OB – BP = OD – QD
⇒ OP = OQ
In quadrilateral APCQ,
OA = OC and OP = OQ (proved)
Diagonals AC and PQ bisect each other at O
∴ APCQ is a parallelogram
Hence AP || CQ.

Question 7.
ABCD is a square. E, F, G and H are points on AB, BC, CD and DA respectively, such that AE = BF = CG = DH. Prove that EFGH is a square.
Solution:
Given : In square ABCD
E, F, G and H are the points on AB, BC, CD and DA respectively such that AE = BF = CG = DH
To prove : EFGH is a square
Proof : E, F, G and H are points on the sides AB, BC, CA and DA respectively such that
AE = BF = CG = DH = x (suppose)
Then BE = CF = DG = AH = y (suppose)
Now in ∆AEH and ∆BFE
RD Sharma Class 9 Book Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
AE = BF (given)
∠A = ∠B (each 90°)
AH = BE (proved)
∴ ∆AEH ≅ ∆BFE (SAS criterion)
∴ ∠1 = ∠2 and ∠3 = ∠4 (c.p.c.t.)
But ∠1 + ∠3 = 90° and ∠2 + ∠4 = 90° (∠A = ∠B = 90°)
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 90° + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠1 + ∠4 + ∠1 + ∠4 = 180°
⇒ 2(∠1 + ∠4) = 180°
⇒ ∠1 + ∠4 = \(\frac { { 180 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 90°
∴ ∠HEF = 180° – 90° = 90°
Similarly, we can prove that
∠F = ∠G = ∠H = 90°
Since sides of quad. EFGH is are equal and each angle is of 90°
∴ EFGH is a square.

Proof : ∵ Diagonals of a rhombus bisect
each other at right angles
AO = OC, BO = OD
∠AOD = ∠COD = 90°
and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = 90°
In ∆BDE,
A and O are the mid-points of BE and BD respectively.
∴ AO || ED
Similarly, OC || DG
In ∆ CFA, B and O are the mid-points of AF and AC respectively
∴ OB || CF and OD || GC
Now in quad. DOCG
OC || DG and OD || CG
∴ DOCG is a parallelogram.
∴ ∠DGC = ∠DOC (opposite angles of ||gm)
∴ ∠DGC = 90° (∵ ∠DOC = 90°)
Hence proved.

Question 9.
ABCD is a parallelogram, AD is produced to E so that DE = DC = AD and EC produced meets AB produced in F. Prove that BF = BC.
Solution:
Given : In ||gm ABCD,
AB is produced to E so that
DE = DA and EC produced meets AB produced in F.
To prove : BF = BC
Proof: In ∆ACE,
RD Sharma Class 9 Maths Book Questions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
O and D are the mid points of sides AC and AE
∴ DO || EC and DB || FC
⇒ BD || EF
∴ AB = BF
But AB = DC (Opposite sides of ||gm)
∴ DC = BF
Now in ∆EDC and ∆CBF,
DC = BF (proved)
∠EDC = ∠CBF
(∵∠EDC = ∠DAB corresponding angles)
∠DAB = ∠CBF (corresponding angles)
∠ECD = ∠CFB (corresponding angles)
∴ AEDC ≅ ACBF (ASA criterion)
∴ DE = BC (c.p.c.t.)
⇒ DC = BC
⇒ AB = BC
⇒ BF = BC (∵AB = BF proved)
Hence proved.

DE || AB and FD || AC
∴ BDEF and CDEF are parallelogram
∴ ∠B = ∠E = 60° and ∠C = ∠F = 70°
Then ∠A = ∠D = 50°
Hence ∠D = 50°, ∠E = 60° and ∠F = 70°

Question 14.
ABC is a triangle and through A, B, C lines are drawn parallel to BC, CA and AB respectively intersecting at P, Q and R. Prove that the perimeter of ∆PQR is double the perimeter of ∆ABC.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC,
Through A, B and C, lines are drawn parallel to BC, CA and AB respectively meeting at P, Q and R.
RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
To prove : Perimeter of ∆PQR = 2 x perimeter of ∆ABC
Proof : ∵ PQ || BC and QR || AB
∴ ABCQ is a ||gm
∴ BC = AQ
Similarly, BCAP is a ||gm
∴ BC = AP …(i)
∴ AQ = AP = BL
⇒ PQ = 2BC
Similarly, we can prove that
QR = 2AB and PR = 2AC
Now perimeter of ∆PQR.
= PQ + QR + PR = 2AB + 2BC + 2AC
= 2(AB + BC + AC)
= 2 perimeter of ∆ABC.
Hence proved

AD is any line from A to BC meeting BC in D and intersecting BE in H. P, Q and R are respectively mid points of AH, AB and BC. PQ and QR are joined B.
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
To prove : ∠PQR = 90°
Proof: In ∆ABC,
Q and R the mid points of AB and BC 1
∴ QR || AC and QR = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC
Similarly, in ∆ABH,
Q and P are the mid points of AB and AH
∴ QP || BH or QP || BE
But AC ⊥ BE
∴ QP ⊥ QR
∴ ∠PQR = 90°

∴ PQ || OD and PQ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) OD
In ∆BCD,
P is mid-poiht of DC and PQ || OD (Proved above)

To prove : (i) DP = PC (ii) PR = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC
Construction : Join diagonal AC which passes through Q and join PR.
Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables RD Sharma Solutions
Proof : (i) In ∆ACD,
Q is mid-point of AC and QP || AD (Sides of rectangles)
∴ P is mid-point of CD
∴ DP = PC
(ii) ∵PR and QC are the diagonals of rectangle PQRC
∴ PR = QC
But Q is the mid-point of AC
∴ QC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC
Hence PR = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC

Question 2.
In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠D = 115°, then write the measure of ∠A.
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD,
∠D = 115°
But ∠A + ∠D = 180°
(Sum of consecutive angles of a ||gm)
RD Sharma Math Solution Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
⇒ ∠A + 115°= 180° ∠A = 180°- 115°
∴ ∠A = 65°

Question 3.

Solution:
In a square PQRS,
Diagonals PR and QS intersects each other at O.
RD Sharma Class 9 Questions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∵ The diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles.
∴ ∠POQ = 90°

Question 4.
If PQRS is a square then write the measure of ∠SRP.
Solution:
In square PQRS,
Maths RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Join PR,
∵Diagonals of a square bisect are opposite angles
∴∠SRP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)x ∠SRQ
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 90° = 45°

Question 5.
If ABCD is a rhombus with ∠ABC = 56°, find the measure of ∠ACD.
Solution:
In rhombus ABCD,
Diagonals bisect each other at 0 at right angles.
∠ABC = 56°
But ∠ABC + ∠BCD = 180° (Sum of consecutive angles)
⇒ 56° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 56° = 124°
∵ Diagonals of a rhombus bisect the opposite angle
∴ ∠ACD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠BCD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 124°
= 62°

Question 6.
The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22 cm. If the longer side measures 6.5 cm, what is the measure of the shorter side.
Solution:
Perimeter of a ||gm ABCD = 22cm
∴ Sum of two consecutive sides = \(\frac { 22 }{ 2 }\)
= 11cm
i.e. AB + BC = 11 cm
AB = 6.5 cm and let BC = x cm
∴ 6.5 + x = 11 cm
x = 11 – 6.5 = 4.5
∴ Shorter side = 4.5 cm

Question 7.
If the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13. Then find the measure of the smallest angle.
Solution:
Ratio in the angles of a quadrilateral = 3 : 5 : 9 : 13
Let first angle = 3x
Second angle = 5x
Third angle = 9x
and fourth angle = 13x
∵ The sum of angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
∴ 3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360°
⇒ 30x = 360° ⇒ x = \(\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 30 }\)  = 12
∴ Smallest angle = 3x = 3 x 12° = 36°

Question 8.
In parallelogram ABCD if ∠A = (3x – 20°), ∠B = (y + 15)°, ∠C = (x + 40°), then find the value of x and y.
Solution:
In a ||gm ABCD,
∠A = (3x – 20°), ∠B = y + 15°,
∠C = x + 40°
Now, ∠A = ∠C (Opposite angles of a ||gm)
⇒ 3x – 20 = x + 40°
⇒ 3x – x = 40° + 20° ⇒ 2x = 60°
⇒ x = \(\frac { { 60 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 30°
and ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of the consecutive angles)
⇒ 3x-20° + y + 15° = 180°
⇒ 3x + y – 5° = 180°
⇒ 3 x 30° +y- 5° = 180°
⇒ 90° – 5° + y = 180
y = 180° – 90° + 5 = 95°
∴ x = 30°, y = 95°

Question 9.
If measures opposite angles of a parallelogram are (60 – x)° and (3x – 4)°, then find the measures of angles of the parallelogram.
Solution:
Opposite angles of a ||gm ABCD are (60 – x)° and (3x – 4°)
But opposite angles of a ||gm are equal, the
60° – x° = 3x – 4° ⇒ 60° + 4° = 3x + x
⇒ 4x = 64° ⇒ x = \(\frac { { 64 }^{ \circ } }{{ 4 }^{ \circ } }\)  = 16°
∴ ∠A = 60° – x = 60° – 16° = 44°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180° (sum of consecutive angle)
⇒ 44° + ∠B = 180°
⇒ ∠B = 180° – 44°
⇒ ∠B = 136°
But ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D (Opposite angles)
∴ Angles are 44°, 136°, 44°, 136°

Question 11.
In the figure, PQRS in an isosceles trapezium find x and y.
Solution:
∵ PQRS is an isosceles trapezium in which
SP = RQ and SR || PQ
∴ ∠P + ∠S = 180° (Sum of co-interior angles)
3x + 2x = 180° ⇒ 5x = 180°
⇒ x = \(\frac { { 180 }^{ \circ } }{ 5 }\)  = 36°
RD Sharma Class 9 PDF Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
But ∠P = ∠Qm (Base angles of isosceles trapezium)
y = 2x = 2 x 36° = 12°
∴ y = 12°
Hence x = 36°, y = 12°

Question 12.
In the figure ABCD is a trapezium. Find the values of x and y.
Linear Equations in Two Variables Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions
Solution:
In trapezium ABCD,
AB || CD
RD Sharma Class 9 Solution Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∴ ∠A + ∠D = 180° (Sum of cointerior angles)
x + 20° + 2x + 10° = 180°
3x + 30° = 180°
⇒ 3x= 180° – 30°
3x = 150°
x = \(\frac { { 150 }^{ \circ } }{ 3 }\)  = 50°
Similarly, ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ y + 92° = 180°
⇒ y = 180° – 92° = 88°
∴ x = 50°, y = 88°

Question 13.
In the figure, ABCD and AEFG are two parallelograms. If ∠C = 58°, find ∠F.
Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Solution:

Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∵ DC || GF and CB || FE (Sides of ||gms)
∴ ∠C = ∠F
But ∠C = 58°
∴ ∠F = 58°

Question 15.
In a quadrilateral ABCD, bisectors of A and B intersect at O such that ∠AOB = 75°, then write the value of ∠C + ∠D.
Solution:
In quadrilateral ABCD,
Bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at O and ∠AOB = 75°
Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables RD Sharma Solutions
In AOB, ∠AOB = 75°
∴ ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180° – 75° = 105°
But OA and OB are the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B.
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 2 x 105° = 210°
But ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (Sum of angles of a quad.)
∴ 210° + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
⇒ ∠C + ∠D = 360° – 210° = 150°
Hence ∠C + ∠D = 150°

Question 16.
The diagonals of a rectangle ABCD meet at O. If ∠BOC = 44° find ∠OAD.
Solution:
In rectangle ABCD,
Diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O and ∠BOC = 44°
RD Sharma Book Class 9 PDF Free Download Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
But ∠AOD = ∠BOC (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠AOD = 44°
In ∆AOD,
∠AOD + ∠OAD + ∠ODA = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 44° + ∠OAD + ∠OAD = 180° [∵ OA = OD, ∠OAD = ∠ODA]
⇒ 2∠OAD = 180° – 44° = 136°
∴ ∠OAD = \(\frac { { 136 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 68°

Question 17.
If ABCD is a rectangle with ∠BAC = 32°, find the measure if ∠DBC.
Solution:
In rectangle ABCD,
RD Sharma Class 9 Book Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Diagonals bisect each other at O
∠BAC = 32°
∵ OA = OB
∴ ∠OBA Or ∠DBA = ∠BAC = 32°
But ∠ABC = 90° (Angle of a rectangles)
∴ ∠DBC = ∠ABC – ∠DBA
= 90° – 32° = 58°

Question 19.
In the figure, PQRS is a rhombus in which the diagonal PR is produced to T. If ∠SRT = 152°, find x, y and z.
RD Sharma Mathematics Class 9 Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Solution:
In rhombus PQRS,
Diagonal PR and SQ bisect each other at right angles and PR is produced to T such that ∠SRT = 152°
Solution Of Rd Sharma Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
But ∠SRT + ∠SRP = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 152° +∠SRP = 180°
⇒ ∠SRP =180°- 152° = 28°
But ∠SPR = ∠SRP (∵ PR bisects ∠P and ∠R)
⇒ z = 28°
y = 90° (∵ Diagonals bisect each other at right angles)
∠RPQ = z = 28°
∴ In ∆POQ,
z + x = 90° ⇒ 28° + x = 90°
⇒ x = 90° – 28° = 62°
∴ x = 62°, y = 90°, z = 28°

Question 20.
In the figure, ABCD is a rectangle in which diagonal AC is produced to E. If ∠ECD = 146°, find ∠AOB.
RD Sharma Math Solution Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Solution:
In rectangle ABCD,
Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at O
AC is produced to E and ∠DCE = 146°
RD Sharma Class 9 Questions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∠DCE + ∠DCA = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 146°+ ∠DCA= 180°
⇒ ∠DCA = 180°- 146°
⇒ ∠DCA = 34°
∴ ∠CAB = ∠DCA (Alternate angles)
= 34°
Now in ∆AOB,
∠AOB = 180° – (∠DAB + ∠OBA)
= 180° – (34° + 34°)
= 1803 – 68° = 112°

RD Sharma Class 9 Book Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables

Question 20.
If the degree measures of the angles of quadrilateral are Ax, lx, 9x and 10JC, what is the sum of the measures of the smallest angle and largest angle?
(a) 140°
(b) 150°
(c) 168°
(d) 180°
Solution:
Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
∴ 4x + 1x + 9x + 10x = 360°
⇒ 30x = 360°
⇒ x = \(\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 30 }\)  = 12°
Now sum of smallest and largest angle = 4 x 12° + 10 x 12°
= 48° + 120° = 168° (c)

Question 22.
ABCD is a parallelogram in which diagonal AC bisects ∠BAD. If ∠BAC = 35°, then ∠ABC =
(a) 70°
(b) 110°
(c) 90°
(d) 120°
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD, AC is its diagonal which bisect ∠BAD
RD Sharma Class 9 Maths Book Questions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∠BAD = 35°
∴ ∠BAD = 2 x 35° = 70°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of consecutive angles)
⇒ 70° + ∠B = 180°⇒ ∠B = 180° – 70°
∴ ∠B = 110°
⇒ ABC = 110° (b)

Question 23.
In a rhombus ABCD, if ∠ACB = 40°, then ∠ADB =
(a) 70°
(b) 45°
(c) 50°
(d) 60°
Solution:
In rhombus ABCD, ∠ACB = 40°
RD Sharma Mathematics Class 9 Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∴ ∠BCD = 2 x ∠ACB
= 2 x 40° = 80°
But ∠BCD + ∠ADC = 180° (Sum of consecutive angles of ||gm)
⇒ 80° + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 180° – 80° = 100°
∴ ∠ADB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠ADC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)x 100° = 50° (c)

Question 24.
In ∆ABC, ∠A = 30°, ∠B = 40° and ∠C = 110°. The angles of the triangle formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of this triangle are
(a) 70°, 70°, 40°
(b) 60°, 40°, 80°
(c) 30°, 40°, 110°
(d) 60°, 70°, 50°
Solution:
In ∆ABC,
Solution Of Rd Sharma Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∠A = 30°, ∠B = 40°, ∠C = 110°
D, E and F are mid-points of the sides of the triangle. By joining them in order,
DEF is a triangle formed
Now BDEF, CDFE and AFDE are ||gms
∴ ∠A = ∠D = 30°
∠B = ∠E = 40°
∠C = ∠F= 110°
∴ Angles are 30°, 40°, 110° (c)

Question 25.
The diagonals of a parallelogram ABCD intersect at O. If ∠BOC = 90° and ∠BDC = 50°, then ∠OAB =
(a) 40°
(b) 50°
(c) 10°
(d) 90°
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O
RD Sharma Math Solution Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
BOC = 90°, ∠BDC = 50°
∵ ∠BOC = 90°
∴ Diagonals of ||gm bisect each other at 90°
∴∠COD = 90°
In ∆COD,
∠OCD = 90° – 50° = 40°
But ∠OAB = ∠OCD (Alternate angles)
∴∠OAB = 40° (a)

Question 26.
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC. M and N are the mid-points of AD and BC respectively. If AB = 12 cm, MN = 14 cm, then CD =
(a) 10 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) 14 cm
(d) 16 cm
Solution:
In trapezium AB || DC
M and N are mid-points of sides AD and BC and MN are joined
AB = 12 cm, MN = 14 cm
RD Sharma Class 9 Questions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∵ MN = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(AB + CD)
⇒ 2MN = AB + CD
⇒ 2 x 14 = 12 + CD
CD = 2 x 14 – 12 = 28 – 12 = 16 cm (d)

Question 27.
Diagonals of a quadrilateral ABCD bisect each other. If ∠A = 45°, then ∠B =
(a) 115°
(b) 120°
(c) 125°
(d) 135°
Solution:
Diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD bisect each other at O
Maths RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∴ AO = OC, BO = OD
∴ ABCD is a ||gm ∠A = 45°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of consecutive angles)
∴ ∠B = 180° – ∠A = 180° – 45°
= 135° (d)

Question 28.
P is the mid-point of side BC of a paralleogram ABCD such that ∠BAP = ∠DAP. If AD = 10 cm, then CD =
(a) 5 cm
(b) 6 cm
(c) 8 cm
(d) 10 cm
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD, P is mid-point of BC
AD = 10cm
RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∠BAP = ∠DAP
Through P, draw PQ || AB
∴ ABPQ is rhombus
∴ AB = BP = AQ
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 10 = 5 cm
But CD = AB (Opposite sides of ||gm)
∴ CD = 5 cm (a)

Question 29.
In ∆ABC, E is the mid-point of median AD such that BE produced meets AC at E If AC = 10.5 cm, then AF =
(a) 3 cm
(b) 3.5 cm
(c) 2.5 cm
(d) 5 cm
Solution:
In ∆ABC, E is the mid-point of median AD
Such that BE produced meets AC at F
AC = 10.5 cm
Draw DG || AF
RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables MCQS
In ∆ADG
E is mid-point of AD and EF || DG
∴ F is mid-point of AG
⇒ AF = FG …(i)
In ∆BCF
D is mid-point of BC and DG || BF
∴ G is mid-point of FC
∴ FG = GC …(i)
From (i) and (ii)
AF = FG = GC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) AC
But AC = 10.5 cm
∴ AF = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) AC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) x 10.5 = 3.5 cm (b)

Question 30.
ABCD is a parallelogram and E is the mid-point of BC. DE and AB when produced meet at F. Then, AF =
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD, E is mid-point of BC DE and AB are produced to meet at F
RD Sharma Solutions Class 9 Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∵ E is mid point of BC
∴ BE = EC
In ∆BEF and ∆CDE
BE = EC
∠BEF = ∠CED (Vertically opposite angle)
and ∠EBF = ∠ECD (Alternate angles)
∴ ∆BEF ≅ ∆CDE (ASA criterian)
∴ DC = BF
But DC = AB
∴ AB = BF
AF = AB + BF = AB + AB
= 2AB (b)

Question 31.
In a quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A + ∠C is 2 times ∠B + ∠D. If ∠A = 140° and ∠D = 60°, then ∠B =
(a) 60°
(b) 80°
(c) 120°
(d) None of these
Solution:
In quadrilateral ABCD
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 2(∠B + ∠D)
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 2∠B + 2∠D
Adding 2∠A + 2∠C both sides
2∠A + 2∠C + ∠A + ∠C = 2∠A + 2∠B + 2∠C + 2∠D
⇒ 3∠A + 3∠C = 2(∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D)
⇒ 3(∠A + ∠C) = 2 x 360° = 720°
∴ ∠A + ∠C = \(\frac { { 720 }^{ \circ } }{ 3 }\)  = 240°
⇒ 40° + ∠C = 240° (∵ ∠A = 40°)
∠C = 240° – 40° = 200°
Now 2(∠B + ∠D) = ∠A + ∠C = 240°
∠B + ∠D = \(\frac { { 240 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 120°
∴ ∠B = 60° = 120°
∴ ∠B = 60° (a)

Question 32.
The diagonals AC and BD of a rectangle ABCD intersect each other at P. If ∠ABD = 50°, then ∠DPC =
(a) 70°
(b) 90°
(c) 80°
(d) 100°
Solution:
In rectangle ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at P
RD Sharma Class 9 PDF Chapter 13 Linear Equations in Two Variables
∠ABD = 50°
∴ ∠CAB = ∠ABD = 50° (∵ AP = BP)
Now in ∆APB
∠CAB + ∠ABD + ∠APB = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ ∠PAB + ∠PBA + ∠APB = 180°
⇒ 50° + 50° + ∠APB = 180°
⇒ ∠APB = 180° – 50° – 50° = 80°
But ∠DPC = ADB (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠DPC = 80° (c)
