Dear Sir
I am very pleased to read the news that recently the State Government of Rajasthan has banned plastic bag manufacturing, storing distributing. Along with it, whoever is indulged in this, he/ she will be penalized for ₹ 30,000 & 6 months of imprisonment. It will be very helpful in keeping environment clean. The biggest problem with the plastic bags which are used for packing of milk, oil, salt etc is that they become big environmental problem.
The second problem is that when plastic bags are thrown outside, plastic chokes the drainages, when burnt plastic emits poisonous gases.
Thus, the ban on plastic will be helpful for our environment in many ways.

Dear Sir
I have been reading so much in the newspapers about keeping Jaipur clean, but I have just one question to ask. Where are the dustbins? A busy place, like Sindhi Camp bus stand has no proper dustbins. So the travellers throw all the rubbish i.e. paperbags, polybags, leftovers etc. on the bus stand resulting in an untidy look. There are no dustbins on the roads. It is time for the Jaipur authorities to do something in this matter. Places where the dustbins are absolutely necessary are bus stands, hotels and wayside stalls.
We should be practical and realistic when we talk about a clean Jaipur.

Jharkhand Board JAC Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 10 वृत्त Ex 10.6 Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

JAC Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 10 वृत्त Exercise 10.6

प्रश्न 1.
सिद्ध कीजिए कि दो प्रतिच्छेद करते हुए वृत्तों की केन्द्रों की रेखा दोनों प्रतिच्छेद बिन्दुओं पर समान कोण अन्तरित करती है।
हल:

दिया है:
वृत्त C (A, r) तथा वृत्त C’ (B, r’) एक दूसरे को C तथा D बिन्दुओं पर प्रतिच्छेदित करते हैं।
सिद्ध करना है: ∠ACB = ∠ADB.
रचना: AB, AC, AD, BD तथा BC को मिलाया।
उपपत्ति: ΔACB तथा ΔADB में.
AC = AD [एक ही वृत्त की त्रिज्याएँ]
BC = BD [एक ही वृत्त की त्रिज्याएँ]
AB = AB (उभयनिष्ठ)
ΔACB ≅ ΔADB (RSS प्रगुण)
∴ ∠ACB = ∠ADB. इति सिद्धम्।

प्रश्न 2.
एक वृत्त की 5 सेमी तथा 11 सेमी लम्बी दो जीवाएँ AB तथा CD समान्तर हैं और केन्द्र की विपरीत दिशा में स्थित हैं। यदि AB तथा CD के बीच की दूरी 6 सेमी हो, तो वृत्त की त्रिज्या ज्ञात कीजिए।
हल:
वृत्त C (O, r) में जीवा AB = 5 सेमी तथा जीवा CD = 11 सेमी

रचना: OP ⊥ AB तथा OQ ⊥ CD खींचे। OA तथा OC को मिलाया, तो OA = OC = r.
∵ OP ⊥ AB, OQ ⊥ CD
तथा AB || CD है, अत: बिन्दु P, O तथा Q सरेखीय हैं। इसलिए PQ = 6 सेमी।
माना OP = x, तब OQ = (6 – x) सेमी
∵ केन्द्र से जीवा पर डाला गया लम्ब जीजा को समद्विभाजित करता है।
∴ AP = PB = \(\frac{A B}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\) = 2.5 सेमी
तथा CQ = QD = \(\frac{C D}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\) = 5.5 सेमी
समकोण ΔOAP तथा ΔOCQ में,
OA² = OP² + AP²
तथा OC² = OQ² + CQ²
⇒ r² = x² + (2.5)² …..(i)
तथा r² = (6 – x)² + (5.5)² …..(ii)
समीकरण (i) व (ii) से,
⇒ x² + (2.5)² = (6 – x)² + (5.5)²
⇒ x² + 6.25 = 36 – 12x + x² + 30.25
⇒ 12x = 60 या x = 5
समीकरण (i) में x का मान रखने पर,
r² = 5² + (2.5)²
= 25 + 6.25 = 31.25
∴ r = \(\sqrt{31.25}\) = 5.6 (लगभग)
अतः वृत्त की त्रिज्या 5.6 सेमी (लगभग)।

प्रश्न 3.
किसी वृत्त की दो समान्तर जीवाओं की लम्बाइयाँ 6 सेमी तथा 8 सेमी हैं। यदि छोटी जीवा केन्द्र से 4 सेमी की दूरी पर हो, तो दूसरी जीवा केन्द्र से कितनी दूर है ?
हल:

वृत्त C (O, r) में जीवा AB || CD तथा AB = 6 सेमी व CD = 8 सेमी
माना वृत्त की त्रिज्या = r सेमी है।
OP ⊥ AB तथा OQ ⊥ CD डाला। चूँकि AB || CD तथा OP ⊥ AB, OQ ⊥ CD है, इसलिए बिन्दु O, Q तथा P सरेखीय हैं। स्पष्ट रूप से OP = 4 सेमी तथा P, Q क्रमश: AB तथा CD के मध्य बिन्दु हैं।
∴ AP = PB = \(\frac{1}{2}\)AB = 3 सेमी
तथा CQ = QD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) CD = 4 सेमी
समकोण ΔOPA में
OA² = OP² + AP²
⇒ r² = 4² + 3² = 16 + 9 = 25
∴ r = 5 सेमी
समकोण ΔOCA में,
⇒ OC² = OQ² + CQ²
⇒ r² = OQ² + 4²
⇒ 25 = OQ² + 16
⇒ OQ² = 25 – 16
⇒ OQ² = 9
∴ OQ = 3 सेमी
अतः केन्द्र से बड़ी जीवा की दूरी 3 सेमी।

प्रश्न 4.
मान लीजिए कि कोण ABC का एक शीर्ष B वृत्त के बाहर स्थित है और कोण की भुजाएँ वृत्त से बराबर जीवाएँ AD और CE काटती हैं सिद्ध कीजिए कि ∠ABC जीवाओं AC तथा DE द्वारा केन्द्र पर अन्तरित कोणों के अन्तर का आधा है।
हल:
∵ त्रिभुज के बहिष्कोण का मान अभ्यन्तर अन्तः कोणों के योग के बराबर होता है।

ΔBDC में,
बहिष्कोण ∠ADC = ∠DBC + ∠DCB ……(i)
∴ ∠ADC = \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠AOC ……(ii)
⇒ ∠DCB = \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠DOE ……(iii)
(चाप द्वारा वृत्त के केन्द्र पर अन्तरित कोण)
समीकरण (i) में (ii) तथा (iii) से मान रखने पर,
\(\frac{1}{2}\)∠AOC = ∠ABC + \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠DOE
[∵ ∠DBC = ∠ABC]
⇒ ∠ABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(∠AOC – ∠DOE)
∴ ∠ABC जीवाओं AC तथा DE द्वारा केन्द्र पर अन्तरित कोण के अन्तर का आधा है।
इति सिद्धम्।

प्रश्न 5.
सिद्ध कीजिए कि किसी समचतुर्भुज की किसी भुजा को व्यास मानकर खींचा गया वृत्त, उसके विकण के प्रतिच्छेद बिन्दु से होकर जाता है।
हल:
दिया है: समचतुर्भुज के विकर्ण AC तथा BD, O बिन्दु पर प्रतिच्छेदित है।
सिद्ध करना है: बिन्दु O, AB को व्यास मान कर खींचे गए वृत्त पर स्थित है।

उपपत्ति: ∵ ABCD एक समचतुर्भुज है जिसक विकर्ण AC और BD परस्पर O बिन्दु पर प्रतिच्छेद करते हैं।
∴ ∠AOB = 90°.
∵ ΔAOB एक समकोण त्रिभुज है जिसका कर्ण AB है तब समकोण ΔAOB का ∠AOB अर्द्धवृत्त में स्थित होगा जिसका व्यास AB है।
अतः AB को व्यास मानकर खींचा गया वृत्त बिन्दु O (विकर्णों का प्रतिच्छेदन बिन्दु) से होकर जाएगा।
इति सिद्धम्।

प्रश्न 6.
ABCD एक समान्तर चतुर्भुज है। A, B और C से जाने वाला वृत्त CD (यदि आवश्यक हो, तो बढ़ाकर) को E पर प्रतिच्छेद करता है सिद्ध कीजिए कि AE = AD है।
हल:

∵ ABCE एक चक्रीय चतुर्भुज है।
∴ ∠AED + ∠ABC = 180° …….(i)
∴ ∠ADE + ∠ADC = 180° (रैखिक कोण युग्म)
अत: CDE एक सीधी रेखा है।
[∵ ∠ADC और ∠ABC समान्तर चतुर्भुज के सम्मुख कोण हैं अर्थात् ∠ADC = ∠ABC]
या ∠ADE + ∠ABC = 180° ….. (ii)
समीकरण (i) और (ii) से,
∠AED + ∠ABC = ∠ADE + ∠ABC
⇒ ∠AED = ∠ADE
∴ ΔAED में, ∠AED = ∠ADE
∴ AE = AD इति सिद्धम्।

प्रश्न 7.
AC और BD एक वृत्त की जीवाएँ हैं जो एक-दूसरे को समद्विभाजित करती हैं। सिद्ध कीजिए:
(i) AC और BD व्यास हैं।
(ii) ABCD एक आयत है।
हल:
दिया है: वृत्त C (O, r) में जीवा AB तथा CD परस्पर समद्विभाजित करती हैं।
सिद्ध करना है:
(i) AC और BD व्यास हैं।
(ii) ABCD एक आयत है।

उपपत्ति: (i) जीवाएँ AC और BD एक-दूसरे को O बिन्दु पर समद्विभाजित करती हैं।
∴ OA = OB = OC = OD (एक ही वृत्त की त्रिज्याएँ)
तब AC = OA + OC
= त्रिज्या + त्रिज्या
= 2 × त्रिज्या
= व्यास
अत: AC वृत्त का व्यास है।
∵ BD भी O बिन्दु से गुजरती है।
∴ BD भी वृत्त का व्यास होगा।

(ii) AC वृत्त का व्यास है।
∴ AC द्वारा अर्द्धवृत्त में बने कोण
∠ABC = ∠ADC = 90° होंगे।
इसी प्रकार BD व्यास द्वारा अर्द्धवृत्त में बने कोण ∠BAD = ∠BCD = 90° हैं।
अत: ☐ABCD के
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°
⇒ ABCD एक आयत है। इति सिद्धम्।

प्रश्न 8.
त्रिभुज ABC के कोणों A, B और C के समद्विभाजक उसके परिवृत्त को क्रमशः बिन्दुओं D, E और F पर प्रतिच्छेदित करते हैं।
सिद्ध कीजिए कि ADEF के कोण क्रमश:
90° – \(\frac{A}{2}\), 90° – \(\frac{B}{2}\) और 90° – \(\frac{C}{2}\) हैं।
हल:
दिया है: ΔABC के कोणों A, B और C के समद्विभाजक AD, BE व CF त्रिभुज के परिवृत्त को क्रमश: बिन्दुओं D, E व F पर काटते हैं। बिन्दुओं D, E व F से त्रिभुज DEF बनाया गया है।

सिद्ध करना है: ΔDEF में,
∠D = 90° – ∠\(\frac{A}{2}\), ∠E = 90° – ∠\(\frac{B}{2}\) और ∠F = 90° – ∠\(\frac{C}{2}\)
उपपत्ति: ∵ ∠ADE और ∠ABE एक ही वृत्तखण्ड के कोण हैं।
∴ ∠ADE = ∠ABE
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠D = \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠B …..(1)
इसी प्रकार, ∠ADF और ∠ACF एक ही वृत्तखण्ड के कोण हैं।
∴ ∠ADF = ∠ACF
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠D = \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠C ….(2)
समीकरण (1) व (2) को जोड़ने पर,
∠D = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(∠B + ∠C)
(∵ ∠B + ∠C = 180° – ∠A)
⇒ ∠D = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(180° – ∠A)
∠D = 90° – \(\frac{\angle A}{2}\)
इसी प्रकार सिद्ध कर सकते हैं कि
∠E = 90° – \(\frac{\angle B}{2}\) तथा ∠F = 90° – \(\frac{\angle C}{2}\)
अतः ΔDEF के कोण क्रमशः
90° – \(\frac{\angle A}{2}\), 90° – \(\frac{\angle B}{2}\), 90° – \(\frac{\angle C}{2}\) हैं।

प्रश्न 9.
दो सर्वांगसम वृत्त परस्पर A और B बिन्दुओं पर प्रतिच्छेद करते हैं से होकर कोई रेखाखण्ड PAQ इस प्रकार खींचा गया है कि P और Q दोनों वृत्त पर स्थित हैं। सिद्ध कीजिए कि BP = BQ है।
हल:
माना तथा दो सर्वांगसम वृत्तों के केन्द्र हैं।
∴ AB इन वृत्तों की उभयनिष्ठ जीवा है।

चाप ACB ≅ चाप ADB (सर्वागसम वृत्तों के चाप)
∠AOB = ∠AO’B (केन्द्र पर बने कोण)
ΔPBQ में
⇒ ∠BPA = ∠BQA (सर्वागसम वृत्तों की परिधि पर बने कोण)
∠P = ∠Q [∵ ∠BPA = ∠BQA]
⇒ BP = BQ
इति सिद्धम्।

प्रश्न 10.
किसी त्रिभुज ABC में, यदि ∠A का समद्विभाजक तथा BC का लम्ब समद्विभाजक प्रतिच्छेद करें, तो सिद्ध कीजिए कि वे ΔABC के परिवृत्त पर प्रतिच्छेद करेंगे।
हल:
दिया है: ΔABC के आधार BC का लम्ब समद्विभाजक XY है। ABDC, ΔABC का परिवृत्त है। लम्ब समद्विभाजक XY परिवृत्त को D पर काटता है। XY, BC को M पर काटता है।

सिद्ध करना है: ∠A का समद्विभाजक भी बिन्दु D से होकर जाएगा।
रचना: DB तथा DC को मिलाया।
उपपत्ति: ∵ XY, BC का लम्ब समद्विभाजक है और यह परिवृत्त को बिन्दु D पर काटता है।
∴ बिन्दु D, परिवृत्त पर भी है और XY पर भी।
ΔBDM और ΔCDM में,
BM = CM
(XY, BC का लम्ब समद्विभाजक है)
MD = MD (उभयनिष्ठ भुजा है)
∠BMD = ∠CMD (∵ XY ⊥ BC)
ΔBDM ≅ ΔCDM (SAS नियम से)
∴ BD = CD
∵ बिन्दु D परिवृत्त पर भी स्थित है।
∴ परिवृत्त में, जीवा BD = जीवा CD
∴ भुजा BD = भुजा CD
(सर्वांगसम त्रिभुजों की संगत भुजाएँ)
किसी वृत्त की समान जीवाएँ समान चाप काटती हैं
∴ चाप BD द्वारा बिन्दु A पर अन्तरित कोण = चाप CD द्वारा बिन्दु A पर अन्तरित कोण
∴ ∠BAD = ∠CAD
∴ AD, ∠A का समद्विभाजक है।
अतः ∠A का समद्विभाजक AD भी बिन्दु D से होकर जाता है।

JAC Board Class 9 English Informal Letter Writing

Letter Writing

(i) Informal – Personal such as to family and friends.
(ii) Formal – Letters to the editor/the principal of school.
E-mail – Formal letters to the principal of the school or to the editor of a newspaper or a magazine.

Letter-writing (पत्र-लेखन) . भाव-अभिव्यक्ति (expression) की एक महत्त्वपूर्ण कला है। यह अपने विचारों तथा भावनाओं को प्रकट करने का उत्तम माध्यम है। सामान्यतया एक अच्छे पत्र में निम्नलिखित बातों का होना अति आवश्यक है –

• पत्र का उद्देश्य स्पष्ट होना चाहिए।
• पत्र में सरल भाषा का प्रयोग करना चाहिए।
• सभी बिन्दुओं को एक ही अनुच्छेद (paragraph) में नहीं लिखना चाहिए। पत्र के सभी बिन्दुओं पर व्यवस्थित तथा स्पष्ट ढंग से प्रकाश डालना चाहिए। अलग-अलग बिन्दुओं के लिए अलग-अलग paragraphs का प्रयोग करना चाहिए।
• सुलेख का ध्यान रखना अति आवश्यक है। सुन्दर लेखन का पत्र के प्राप्तकर्त्ता पर बहुत अच्छा प्रभाव पड़ता है।

Kinds Of Letters पत्रों के प्रकार

पत्र मुख्य रूप से दो प्रकार के होते हैं-

1. Informal letters (अनौपचारिक पत्र) – अनौपचारिक या व्यक्तिगत पत्र अपने मित्रों और सम्बन्धियों (friends and relatives) को लिखे जाते हैं। ये पत्र मुख्य रूप से सन्देश, निमन्त्रण, बधाई, परामर्श, अनुरोध, धन्यवाद देने या शोक प्रकट करने के लिए लिखे जाते हैं।

2. Formal letters (औपचारिक पत्र)-इस प्रकार के पत्र शासकीय एवं गैर-शासकीय अधिकारियों को लिखे जाते हैं । इनके अन्तर्गत सम्पादकों को पत्र, शिकायती पत्र, पूछताछ के पत्र, तथा प्रार्थना-पत्र (applications) आदि आते हैं। औपचारिक पत्र, e-mail द्वारा भी भेजे जाते हैं।

How to Write a Letter

पत्र के प्रारूप (format) के सम्बन्ध में विविध शैलियों का प्रयोग क्रिया जाता रहा है, किन्तु यहाँ हम नवीनतम शैली (latest trend) के अनुसार पत्र-लेखन एवं उसके प्रारूप के विषय में चर्चा कर रहे हैं।

किसी पत्र को सात प्रमुख भागों में विभाजित किया जा सकता है। ये निम्नलिखित हैं :

1. The Heading (अभिमुख)
इसमें (A) पत्र लिखने वाले का पता व (B) पत्र लेखन की तिथि अंकित होती है। इन दोनों बातों का उल्लेख पत्र-प्राप्तकर्त्ता को यह सूचित करने के लिए आवश्यक है कि पत्र A कहाँ से व B कब लिखा गया। पत्र-प्राप्तकर्ता उत्तर देते समय इन दोनों तथ्यों का उल्लेख भी कर सकता है। स्थान व Heading को पृष्ठ के ऊपर की ओर बार्यी ओर लिखा जाता है। विराम-चिह्नों का प्रयोग आजकल नहीं किया जाता है। केवल अपरिहार्य स्थिति में ही इसका प्रयोग करते हैं।

(A) 205 Adarsh Nagar
Jaipur 01

(B) 15 March 2020
अथवा

(A)  P 16 Shri Ram Marg
Masuria
Jodhpur 243001

(B) 17 September 2020

नोट : पत्र प्रेषक का पता व तिथि उपर्युक्तानुसार एवं लम्बवत् एक ही सीध में लिखना चाहिए।

2. Address of the Receiver (प्राप्तकर्ता का पता)
व्यक्तिगत या अनौपचारिक (informal) पत्रों में पत्र प्राप्त करने वाले का पता लिफाफे पर ही लिखा जाता है। पत्र में इसका उल्लेख नहीं होता है। किन्तु औपचारिक (formal) पत्रों में पत्र पाने वाले व्यक्ति या फर्म का पता बार्यी ओर Salutation से ठीक ऊपर लिखा जाता है। व्यावसायिक कम्पनियों के नामों से पूर्व Messrs या M/s उदाहरणार्थ Messrs Mittal Publishing House, लिखना चाहिए।

3. Salutation or Courteous Greetings (सम्बोधन अथवा शिष्ट अभिवादन)
इसके अन्तर्गत लेखक पत्र-प्राप्तकर्ता को यथोचित सम्बोधित करता है। पत्र लिखते समय निम्न प्रकार Salutation लिखना चाहिए :

(a) परिवार के सदस्यों यथा Parents, Brother, Sister, Uncle तथा सम्बन्धियों के लिए
My dear Father या My dear Uncle.

(b) मित्र के लिए-
My dear Rohit या Dear Rohit या Dear Friend

(c) परिचित के लिए-
Dear Mr / Mrs / Miss / Ms + Name या Surname जैसे- Dear Mr Kumar

(d) यदि आपको पत्र पाने वाले का नाम नहीं मालूम हो तो लिखिए :
Dear Sir/Madam

नोट: 1. आजकल विवाहित (Mrs) तथा अविवाहित (Miss) दोनों ही प्रकार की महिलाओं के लिए Ms (मिज़) शब्द का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
2. Salutation के बाद comma ( , ) का प्रयोग नहीं करें।

4. The body ( मुख्य भाग)
यह पत्र का प्रमुख भाग होता है। इसमें सन्देश लिखा जाता है। सन्देश लिखते समय paragraphs का प्रयोग करना चाहिए। सरल व छोटे वाक्य लिखने चाहिए।

5. Courteous leave taking (शिष्टतापूर्ण समापन )
औपचारिक (formal) पत्रों में Thanks का प्रयोग कीजिए। अनौपचारिक (informal) पत्रों में आप With best wishes / Regards / Best wishes / Love / Love from/With love इत्यादि का प्रयोग कर सकते हैं। पत्र-प्राप्तकर्ता के साथ अपने सम्बन्धों के अनुसार ही उचित शब्दों का प्रयोग कीजिए।

6. Subscription (हस्ताक्षर, नाम लेखन)

औपचारिक पत्रों में Yours faithfully
अनौपचारिक पत्रों में

(a) रिश्तेदारों के साथ
Yours affectionately
Your loving son/daughter etc.

(b) मित्रों के साथ
Yours sincerely/Yours truly

नोट : 1. Yours शब्द में कभी भी apostrophe (‘) नहीं लगायें। कभी भी Your’s नहीं लिखें। छात्र इस शब्द के लिखने में सामान्यतया गलती करते हैं।
2. किसी भी पत्र का गर्मजोशी से प्रारम्भ कर उसका अन्त रूखेपन से न करें या रूखेपन से शुरू कर गर्मजोशी से उस पत्र को समाप्त न करें। प्रारम्भ और अंत दोनों में समानता होनी चाहिए। जैसे पत्र के प्रारम्भ में Dear Mother लिखकर अंत में Yours faithfully लिखना कितना अटपटा एवं भद्दा लगता है। उक्त शब्दों के उपरान्त नीचे अपने हस्ताक्षर कीजिए। यदि आपके हस्ताक्षर अस्पष्ट हैं या पत्र औपचारिक है तो हस्ताक्षर के नीचे अपना पूरा नाम भी लिख देना चाहिए। पत्र लेखक का नाम अधिकतर प्रश्न-पत्र में दिया होता है। अतः उस दिये हुए नाम को ही लिखना चाहिए।

7. Superscription (प्राप्तकर्ता का पता)

यह पत्र-प्राप्तकर्ता का पता होता है जो लिफाफे के ऊपर लिखा जाता है।
पत्र-लेखन सम्बन्धी उपर्युक्त सभी तथ्य पत्र-लेखन की आधुनिकतम शैली के अनुरूप हैं। पत्र के उक्त सभी भाग पत्र-प्रारूप (format) में किस प्रकार एवं कहाँ लिखने चाहिए, इसके उदाहरणस्वरूप यहाँ औपचारिक (formal) व अनौपचारिक (informal) पत्रों का एक-एक प्रारूप (format) दिया जा रहा है एवं उनमें संख्या अंकित कर उनके विभिन्न भागों को इंगित किया जा रहा है।
