Question 13 Marks
If $p, q$ and $r$ in continued proportion, then prove the following :
$p ^2- q ^2+ r ^2= q ^4\left(\frac{1}{ p ^2}-\frac{1}{ q ^2}-\frac{1}{ r ^2}\right)$
Answer
$p: q:: q: r \Rightarrow q^2=p r $
$p^2-q^2+r^2=q^4\left(\frac{1}{p^2}-\frac{1}{q^2}-\frac{1}{r^2}\right) $
$\text { RHS } $
$q^4\left(\frac{1}{p^2}-\frac{1}{q^2}-\frac{1}{r^2}\right) $
$=q^4\left(\frac{q^2 r^2-p^2 r^2+p^2 q^2}{p^2 q^2 r^2}\right) $
$=q^4 q^2\left(\frac{r^2-q^2+p^2}{q^2 q^4}\right) $
$=p^2-q^2+r^2=\text { LHS } $
$\text { LHS }=\text { RHS. Hence, proved. }$
LHS $=$ RHS. Hence, proved.

Question 23 Marks
If p, q and r in continued proportion, then prove the following:
$(p + q + r )(p - q + r) = p^2 + q^2 + r^2$
Answer
$p : q :: q : r  \Rightarrow q^2 = pr$
$(p + q + r )(p - q + r) = p^2 + q^2 + r^2$
LHS
$(p + q + r)(p - q + r)$
$= p^2 + pq + pr - pq - q^2 - qr + pr + qr + r^2$
$= p^2 + 2pr - q^2 + r^2$
$= p^2 + 2q^2 - q^2 + r^2$
$= p^2 + q^2 + r^2 = RHS$
LHS = RHS. Hence, proved.

Question 33 Marks
If $p, q$ and $r$ in continued proportion, then prove the following:
$(p^2 - q^2)(q^2 + r^2) = (q^2 - r^2)(p^2 + q^2)$
Answer
$p : q :: q : r => q^2 = pr1$
$LHS (p^2 q^2)( q^2 + r^2)$
$= (p^2 -(pr)^2)(pr)^2 + r^2)$
$= p^3r - p^2r^2 + p^2r^2 - pr^3$
$= pr (p^2 - r^2)$
RHS
$(q^2 - r^2)(p^2 + q^2)$
$= ((pr)^2-r^2 )(p^2+ (pr)^2)$
$= p^3r - p^2r^2 + p^2t^2 - pr^3$
$= pr(p^2 - r^2)$
LHS = RHS. Hence, proved.

Question 43 Marks
If $(7m +8n)(7p - 8q) = (7m - 8n)(7p + 8q),$ then prove that $m: n = p: q$
Answer
$(7 m+8 n)(7 p-8 q)=(7 m-8 n) c$
$\Rightarrow \frac{7 m+8 n}{7 m-8 n}=\frac{7 p+8 q}{7 p-8 q}$
Applying componendo and dividendo,
$\frac{7 m +8 n +7 m -8 n }{7 m +8 m -7 m +8 n }=\frac{7 p +8 q +7 m -8 q }{7 m +8 q -7 m +8 q } $
$\Rightarrow \frac{14 m }{16 n }=\frac{14 p }{16 q }$
Dividing both sides by $\frac{14}{16}$
$\frac{ m }{ n }=\frac{ p }{ q }$
Hence. $m: n=p: q$.

Question 53 Marks
If $a: b:: c: d$, then prove that
$\frac{4 a+9 b}{4 c+9 d}=\frac{4 a-9 b}{4 c-9 d}$
Answer
$\frac{4 a+9 b}{4 c+9 d}=\frac{4 a-9 b}{4 c-9 d} $
$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{4}{9}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ a }{ b } \times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{ c }{ d } \times \frac{4}{9} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{4 a }{9 b }=\frac{4 c }{9 d }$
Applying componendo and dividendo,
$\frac{4 a+9 b}{4 a-9 b}=\frac{4 c+9 d}{4 c-9 d} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{4 a+9 b}{4 c+9 d}=\frac{4 a-9 b}{4 c-9 d}$
Hence, $4 a+9 b: 4 c+9 d=4 a-9 b: 4 c-9 d$

Question 63 Marks
If $a : b : : c : d,$ then prove that
$7a+11b : 7a -11b = 7c +11d : 7c - 11d$
Answer
$7 a+11 b: 7 a-11 b=7 c+11 d: 7 c-11 d$
$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{7}{11}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ a }{ b } \times \frac{7}{11}=\frac{ c }{ d } \times \frac{7}{11} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{7 a }{11 b }=\frac{7 c }{11 d }$
Applying componendo and dividendo,
$\frac{7 a +11 b }{7 a -11 b }=\frac{7 c +11 d }{7 c -11 d }$
Hence, $7 a+11 b: 7 a-11 b=7 c+11 d: 7 c-11 d$

Question 73 Marks
If $a : b : : c : d,$ then prove that
$2a+7b : 2a-7b = 2c+7d : 2c-7d$
Answer
$2 a +7 b : 2 a -7 b =2 c +7 d : 2 c -7 d $
$\frac{ a }{ b }=\frac{ c }{ d } $
$\text { Multiplying both sides by } \frac{2}{7} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{ a }{ b } \times \frac{2}{7}=\frac{ c }{ d } \times \frac{2}{7} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 a }{7 b }=\frac{2 c }{7 d }$
Applying componendo and dividendo,
$\frac{2 a +7 b }{2 a -7 b }=\frac{2 c +7 d }{2 c -7 d }$
Hence, $2 a+7 b: 2 a-7 b=2 c+7 d: 2 c-7 d$

Question 83 Marks
If three quantities are in continued proportion, show that the ratio of the first to the third is the duplicate ratio of the first to the second.
Answer
Let x, y and z are the three quantities which are in continued proportion
Then, $x : y :: y : z => y^2 = xz$
Now, we have to prove that
$x : z = x^2 : y^2$
$\Rightarrow xy^2 = x^2z$
$LHS$
$= xy^2 = x(xz) = x^2z = RHS$
