sun is actually crossing the horizon). However, in the presence of atmosphere (in which refractive index
(n) decreases with height) due to the phenomenon of refraction, the sun becomes visible even when it is
below the horizon. It is estimated that due to this effect the period of visibility of the sun increases by

A21. (i) Blood consists of a fluid medium called plasma in which the cells are suspended. It transports food,
carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes in dissolved form. [2]
(ii) Water is transported in plants through xylem.
In xylem tissue, vessels and tracheids of the roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a
continuous system of water-conducting channels reaching all parts of the plant. At the roots, cells in
contact with the soil actively take up ions. This creates a difference in the concentration of these ions
between the root and the soil. Water, therefore moves into the root from the soil to eliminate this
difference. This means that there is steady movement of water into root xylem, creating a column of water
that is steadily pushed upwards. [3]

plantlets are then placed in the soil so that they can grow into mature plants. [3]

PA = PB = PC [½]
We take, PA = PB
 PA2 = PB2
 (x – 3)2 + (y – 1)2 = (x – 6)2 + (y + 2)2
 x2 + 9 – 6x + y2 + 1 – 2y = x2 + 36 – 12x + y2 + 4 + 4y
 10 – 6x – 2y = 40 – 12x + 4y
(28)
 6x – 6y = 30
 x–y=5 ...(i) [1]
Now, PB = PC
 PB2 = PC2
 (x – 6)2 + (y + 2)2 = (x – 7)2 + (y + 1)2
 x2 + 36 – 12x + y2 + 4 + 4y = x2 + 49 – 14x + y2 + 1 + 2y
 40 – 12x + 4y = 50 – 14x + 2y
 2x + 2y = 10
 x+y=5 ...(ii) [1]
On adding equation (i) and (ii)
2x = 10 [½]
x=5
On putting this value in (i)

–y = 0 [½]

Construction : Take a point Q other than P on AB. Join OQ. [½]
Proof : Q is a point on the tangent AB, other than the point of contact P.
 Q lies outside the circle.
Let OQ intersect the circle at R.

A12. Let mean and median be 3x and 5x respectively

3 median = mode + 2 mean [½]

3(5x) = Mode + 2(3x) [½]

Mode = 15x – 6x [½]

A13. x  2 will be a factor of 2x3 + 3x2 – 4x – 6 [ 2 is zero] [½]

x– 2 2x3 + 3x2 – 4x –6 2x2 + (3 +2 2) x + 3 2

 ar(ABC) : ar(quadrilateral DECA) = 64 : 55

ar(ABC) = ar(AOB) + ar(BOC) + ar(COA)

Now, CA2 + AB2 = BC2 [Pythagoras] [½]
