Question 1.
Read Sources A and B :
1. What do they tell you about Hitler’s imperial ambition?
2. What do you think Mahatma Gandhi would have said to Hitler about these ideas?
Answer:
1. The two texts (Source ‘A’ and Source ‘B’) tell that Hitler’s imperialistic ambition was to expand the boundaries of Germany till wherever they could possibly reach. In Source ‘A’ he believed that an aggressive nation will find methods to adjust its teritory to its population’s size. In source ‘B’, he was comparing Germany’s size to that of Russia and wanted Germany to become a world power of similar size.

2. Mahatma Gandhi held a strongly opposite view. He believed in non-violence and peaceful co-existence of different races, communities and nations. Gandhi would have told Hitler to drop the idea of aggression against other nations from his mind, as violence begets violence.

Question 1.
What does citizenship mean to you? Look at Chapters 1 and 3 and write 200 words on how the French Revolution and Nazism defined citizenship.
Answer:
For me, Citizenship is a fundamental right of any person to live in his birth country or any favourable country. The French Revolution and Nazism both defined citizenship with different points of view.

1. French Revolution:
As per the French Revolution, all men are equal and free by birth and their rights are also equal. Freedom, prosperity, protection and protest against exploitation are the initial rights of a citizen. All men are free to express their views and to reside at any place of their choice. In a democratic country, there is rule of law and no one is above the law.

2. Citizenship in the view of Nazism:
Nazism defined citizenship on the basis of racial hierarchy. Therefore, they denied the citizenship of the Jews. Moreover, they treated them very cruelly and threw out them from Germany.

Question 2.
What did the Nuremberg Laws mean to the ‘undesirables’ in Nazi Germany? What other legal measures were taken against them to make them feel unwanted?
Answer:
Basically, The Nuremberg Laws of citizenship of September 1935, meant that the ‘undesirables’ had no right to live along with the other citizens. These included Jews, Gypsies, Blacks and other nationalities like Polish and Russian people. Following other legal measures were taken against them to make them feel unwanted :

1. Only persons of German or related blood would henceforth to be German citizens, enjoying the protection of the German empire.
2. Marriages between Jews and Germans were forbidden.
3. Extramarital relations between Jews and Germans were declared a crime.

If you were a student sitting in one of these classes, how would you have felt towards Jews?
Answer:
If I had been a student sitting in one of these classes, I would have felt very bad as I would be missing my friends who used to play with me earlier. I would have felt sympathetic towards them and would have hated the Nazi government for this action. Other legal measures included:

1. Boycott of Jewish businesses.
2. Expulsion from government services.
3. Forced selling and confiscation of their properties.
4. Jews were forbidden to hoist the national flag.

Question 2.
Have you ever thought of the stereotyped of other communities that people around you believe in? How have they acquired them?

Activity (Page No. 74)

Question 1.
Write a one page history of Germany.
1. As a school child in Nazi Germany.
2. As a Jewish survivor of a concentration camp.
3. As a political opponent of the Nazi regime.
Answer:
1. As a school child in Nazi Germany:
In Nazi Germany, the condition of school children was very miserable. The Nazis started their ideological training when the child was three years old. As soon as he even started to think, he was given a small flag to wave. Ten-year-olds had to enter Jungvolk, a Nazi school. At 14, all boys had to join the Nazi youth organization, Hitler Youth, where they learnt to worship war, glorify aggression and violence, condemn democracy, and hate Jewish communities, gypsies and all those categorised as ‘undesirable’.

After a period of rigorous ideological and physical training, they joined the labour service, usually at the age of 18. Then they had to serve in the armed forces and enter one of the Nazi organisations. In this way, their whole life was spent under the conservative thinking which was forced on them. School children were segregated from their Jewish friends. They had to read textbooks that were prepared only for advertising the Nazi ideas. Even the function of sports was to nurture a spirit of violence and aggression among children. They were forced to choose boxing for sport.

2. As a Jewish survivor of a concentration camp:
The German Nazis will be always remembered for their brutality towards the Jews. This is a black chapter of German history. Jews from Jewish houses, concentration camps and ghettos from different parts of Europe were brought to death factories by goods trains where they were brutally tortured. I am afraid still now to remember those incidents.

Although I was alive there, but I felt my death hundred times. Jews were often persecuted through periodic organised violence and torture and then sent to concentration camps. Finally, they were left in gas chambers for death. The life of Jews were very miserable even out of the concentration camps. They were terrorised, pauperised and segregated from the society, and forced to leave the country.

All Jews had to wear a yellow Star of David on their breasts. This identity mark was stamped on their passport and houses too. They were kept in Jewish houses like ghettos that became sites of extreme misery and poverty. In any case of suspection or violation of law, they were sent to concentration camps where a new period of torture was started which resulted into their death. Millions of Jews were killed in gas chambers in front of our eyes.

3. As a political opponent of the Nazi regime:
Nazi rule in Germany was built up on the foot of propaganda. Nothing would be found to acquire new territories by war. This never brings a long peace and prosperity in any country. Although, I am a strong supporter of nationalism, but Nazi meaning for nationalism was totally disagreeable to me.

To achieve German nationalism, an investment of large amount on army is not right from any point of view. Nazi behaviour towards women and children was totally unfair. To hate the Jews and worship Hitler was complete injustice to them. The history will never forgive the Nazis for their failed trial to mislead the German masses by the propaganda of their uncivilian characters.

Question 2.
Imagine that you are Helmuth. You have had many Jewish friends in school and do not believe that Jews are bad. Write a paragraph on what you would say to your father.
Answer:
Dear Papa, I have many Jewish friends. We are learning to hate the Jews in our school. Jews have been thrown out from the school and taken to gas chambers for death. After all, what sin have they committed for which they are being treated like this? Why they are doing this to the Jews? Why Jews are sentenced to death illegally?

Are they not human beings like us? Do they not feel like us? Can you imagine if someone brought me to gas chamber and leave me there for death? Is the acceptance of Jewish religion a crime? If yes, then what will be the punishment for Christians whatever they are doing with Jews? Jesus will never forgive the Nazis for their brutality towards The Jews.

JAC Class 9th History Nazism and the Rise of Hitler Textbook Questions and Answers 

Question 1.
Describe the problems faced by the Weimar Republic.
Answer:
Weimar Republic faced many problems right since its birth. These were as follows:

1. This Republic carried the burden of war guilt and was financially disabled by being forced to pay war compensation.
2. Hyperinflation made the German mark valueless and caused immense hardship for the common man.This economic crisis led to widespread inflation, misery and despair.
3. In the Weimar Republic, both the communists and socialists became staunch enemies and could not make common cause against Adolf Hitler.
4. Both revolutionaries and militant nationalists craved for radical solutions, which was not easy. Within its short life, the Weimar Republic saw twenty different cabinets and the liberal use of Article 48. All this created a political crisis in Germany.
5. It became very unpopular among the Germans because it lost the vanity of the nation to the hands of Allied powers.

Question 2.
Discuss why Nazism became popular in Germany by 1930.
Answer:
The principal causes responsible for popularising Nazism in Germany can be summed up as follows :
1. Discontent due to the Treaty of Versailles:
After defeating the Germany, Allies had imposed many unjust conditions on Germany. It was forced to accept them under the threat of aggression. The aggression gave rise to Nazism in Germany.

2. Political Instability in Germany:
Under the Weimar Republic, there existed political instability. Between 1919-1933 A.D. as many as 21 coalition governments were formed and dissolved. Policies changed frequently. Democracy failed to give any relief to the people. Hitler promised a stable and strong government. He won the support of the people.

3. Unfaithful democracy in Germany:
Germany had no tradition of running a parliamentary democracy. Germany to say the least was “a democracy without democrat”. The democracy was against the German culture and tradition. Therefore, people could not understand the functional activities of parliamentary institutions. There were deep political differences between the communists and the Nazis. Because of above reasons democracy failed to achieve faith among German citizens.

4. The Economic Crisis:
Unemployment, inflation, price-rise, ruin of German trade and industry, coupled with general world depression created economic disaster of the worst order in Germany. Hitler blamed the Weimar republic for the plight of the masses and promised relief to the people on economic front, and he won their confidence.

5. Threat of Communism:
The communists in Germany tried to stage a revolution on the pattern of the Soviet revolution of 1917 A.D. Thus, the German capitalists extended full support to Hitler’s Nazi Party as the party was against socialism.

6. Hitler’s Dynamic Personality:
Hitler had a dynamic personality. He was influential and charming. He was a great organiser, an excellent orator and a tireless worker. His passion and his words moved people. He promised to build a strong nation, undo the injustice of the Versailles Treaty and restore the dignity of the German people. His appeal touched the emotions of the people.

Question 3.
What are the peculiar features of Nazi thinking?
Answer:
The peculiar features of Nazi thinking were as follows:

1. They believed that the strong should rule the world and the rest should accept their leadership.
2. They believed in racial hierarchy, where the Nordic German1 Aryans were at the top and the Jews at the lowest rung.
3. The Nazis believed that the Jews were their irreconcilable enemies. So the Jews were victimized and killed.
4. The Nazis believed in the geopolitical concept of ‘Lebensraum’ or living space i.e., new territories had to be acquired for the German nation.
5. Women were seen as mere bearers of the Aryan culture and race.

Question 4.
Explain why Nazi propaganda was effective in creating a hatred for Jews.
Answer:
Nazi propaganda was effective in creating a hatred for Jews because of the following reasons :
1. Role of Traditional Christians:
Jews remained the worst sufferers in Nazi Germany. Nazi’s hatred for Jews had a precursor in the traditional Christian hostility towards Jews. They had been stereotyped as killers of Christ and usurers. Until medieval times, Jews were barred from owning land. They survived mainly through trade and money lending.

2. Various Theories:
The Nazis started using theories of Darwin” and Herbert Spencer to propagate against Jews. So, people started justifying their hatred for Jews as they were considered inferior race and had no right to survive according to these two theories.

3. Propaganda at School Level:
Nazis started their propaganda right from school level. School textbooks were rewritten to justify ideas of race.

4. Propaganda at Home:
Motherhood was also used by Nazis to propagate against the Jews. Mothers were supposed to teach their children Nazi values. There was a code of conduct for all the women.

5. Propaganda through Press and Radio:
The Nazi regime needed languages and media with care to propagate against the Jews. Nazi ideas were spread through visual images like films, radio, movies etc. Jews were shown as rats and pests. Various code words were used to eliminate the Jews to protect the government from the world’s reaction.

Question 5.
Explain what role women had in Nazi society. Return to Chapter 1 on the French revolution. Write a paragraph comparing and contrasting the role of women in the two periods.
Answer:
Role of Women in Nazi Society : Equality of opportunity for both sexes had become an accepted principle by democracy everywhere in the world, but in Nazi Germany, a woman was valuable only as “a mother of pure Nordic (Aryan) children”. She was encouraged to preserve the purity of Aryan race and never to get involved in love affair with a Jew or a Russian or a Pole.

Those held guilty of love making with such persons were paraded with “shaven heads” through the streets. On the other hand, women would take pride in giving birth to as many children as they could. A comparative study of the Role of Women during Nazi Rule and the French Revolution:

1. Women played an important role in the French Revolution. They took equal part in social and political developments of their country. On the other hand, the Nazis thought that it was wrong on the part of women to demand their rights.
2. Most of the French women had to work for a living along with the men, but German women were not allowed to work along with men.
3. In France, both men and women were treated equal, but in Germany, women were considered nothing more than the bearers of the Aryan culture and race.
4. French women were free to change their patterns, but there was a code of conduct for the German women. They were not allowed to mix with anyone except Nordic Aryans.

Question 6.
In what ways did the Nazi state seek to establish total control over its people?
Answer:
The Nazi state seek to establish total control over its people in the following ways:
1. Political control:
Politically Germany was a single-party system where only the Nazi party could wield power. All the other parties had been banned. The state was led by as all powerful leaders. Even the army and the judiciary were controlled by the Nazi party.

2. Economic Control:
The Minister of Economies controlled all financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies. He also exercised rigid control over industries, factories and trading and commercial activities. In order to supply food to soldiers, many articles of food were rationed. Wage rates and prices of all articles of daily use were fixed.

3. Control over Education:
To propagate Nazism, the whole education system was put under the control of the state. School textbooks were rewritten. Racial science was introduced to justify the idea of race. Jewish teachers and Jewish children were thrown out of the school.

4. Control over social and cultural life:
The whole of the media, educational system and sports activities were controlled by the state. Women were declared second class citizens in Germany. Their concern should be their kitchens and giving birth to healthy children. Hundreds of thousands of Germans suffering from hereditary diseases were sterilized and thus prevented from giving birth to weak and unhealthy children.

JAC Board Class 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Triangles Ex 7.4

Page-132

Question 1.
Show that in a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side

Answer:
ABC is a triangle right angled at B.
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 90° (∵ ∠B = 90°)
So ∠A < 90° and ∠C < 90°
⇒ ∠B > ∠A and ∠B > ∠C
⇒ AC > BC and AC > AB [As side opposite to larger angle is longer]

Question 2.
In Fig, sides AB and AC of AABC are extended to points P and Q respectively. Also, ∠PBC < ∠QCB. Show that AC > AB.

Answer:
Given: ∠PBC < ∠QCB
Proof: ∠ABC + ∠PBC = 180°
⇒ ∠PBC = 180° – ∠ABC …(i)
Also, ∠ACB + ∠QCB = 180°
⇒ ∠QCB = 180° -∠ACB
⇒ ∠PBC < ∠QCB (Given)
⇒ 180° – ∠ABC < 180° – ∠ACB
(From (i) and (ii))
⇒ – ∠ABC < – ∠ACB
⇒ ∠ABC > ∠ACB
⇒ AC > AB (As sides opposite to larger angle is longer.)

Question 3.
In Fig, ∠B < ∠A and ∠C < ∠D. Show that AD < BC.

Answer:
Given: ∠B < ∠A and ∠C < ∠D
Proof: In ΔAOB,
∠B < ∠A ⇒ AO < BO ……….(i)
(Side opposite to smaller angle is smaller)
In ΔCOD
∠C < ∠D ⇒ DO < CO…(ii)
(Side opposite to smaller angle is smaller)
Adding (i) and (ii)
AO + OD < BO + OC
⇒ AD < BC

Question 4.
AB and CD are respectively the smallest and longest sides of a quadrilateral ABCD (see Fig). Show that ∠A > ∠C and ∠B > ∠D.

Answer:
In ΔABD,
AB < AD (As AB is the shortest side)
∴ ∠ADB < ∠ABD ……..(i) (Angle opposite to longer side is larger.)
Now, in ΔBCD,
BC < DC (As CD is the longest side)
∴ ∠BDC < ∠CBD …..(ii) (Angle opposite to longer side is larger.)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠ADB + ∠BDC < ∠ABD + ∠CBD
⇒ ∠ADC < ∠ABC
⇒ ∠B > ∠D
Similarly, in Δ ABC,
AB < BC (As AB is the smallest side)
∠ACB < ∠B AC …(iii) (Angle opposite to longer side is larger)
Now, in ΔADC,
AD < DC (As CD is the longest side)
∠DCA < ∠DAC …(iv) (Angle opposite to longer side is larger)
Adding (iii) and (iv), we get
∠ACB + ∠DCA < ∠BAC + ∠DAC
⇒ ∠BCD < ∠BAD
⇒ ∠A > ∠C

Question 5.
In Fig, PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠QPR. Prove that ∠PSR > ∠PSQ

Answer:
Given: PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠QPR
To prove: ∠PSR > ∠PSQ
Proof: ∠PQR > ∠PRQ …….(i)
(PR > PQ as angle opposite to longer side is larger)
∠QPS = ∠RPS …(ii) (PSbisects ∠QPR)
∠PSR = ∠PQR + ∠QPS ………(iii)
(exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of opposite interior angles)
∠PSQ = ∠PRQ + ∠RPS …(iv)
(exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of opposite interior angles)
Adding (i) and (ii)
∠PQR + ∠QPS > ∠PRQ + ∠RPS
⇒ ∠PSR > ∠PSQ [from (iii) and (iv)]

Page-133

Question 6.
Show that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

Answer:
Given: Let l is a line segment and B is a point lying on it. We draw a line segment AB perpendicular to 1. Let C be any other point on 1.
To prove: AB < AC
Proof: In ∆ABC,
∠B = 90°
Now, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 90°
⇒ ∠C < 90° (∠B = 90°)
⇒ ∠C < ∠B
∴ ∠C must be acute angle or ∠C < ∠B
⇒ AB < AC (Side opposite to the larger angle is longer.)

JAC Board Class 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals Ex 8.1

Page-146

Question 1.
The angles of quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.
Answer:
Let the angles be 3x, 5x, 9x and 13x.
Sum of the interior angles of the quadrilateral = 360°
Now, 3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360°
⇒ 30x = 360°
⇒ x = 12°
Angles of the quadrilateral are:
3x = 3 × 12° = 36°
5x = 5 × 12° = 60°
9x = 9 × 12° = 108°
13x= 13 × 12°= 156°

Question 2.
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then show that it is a rectangle.

Answer:
Given: AC = BD
To prove: ABCD is a rectangle.
Proof: In order to prove ABCD is a rectangle we need to prove that one of its interior angle is right angle.
In ΔABD and ΔBAD,
BA = BA (Common)
BC = AD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
AC = BD (Given)
Therefore, ΔABC = ΔBAD by SSS congruence criterion.
⇒ ∠A = ∠B (by CPCT)
Also, ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of the angles on the same side of the transversal)
⇒ 2∠A = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 90° = ∠B
Thus, ABCD is a rectangle.

Question 3.
Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then it is a rhombus.

Answer:
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
Given: OA = OC, OB = OD and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOA = 90°
To prove: ABCD is parallelogram and AB = BC = CD = AD
Proof: In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,
OA = OC
∠AOB = ∠COB = 90°
OB = OB (Common)
Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔBOC by SAS congruence criterion.
Thus, AB = BC (by CPCT)
Similarly, we can prove,
AB = BC = CD = AD Opposites sides of a quadrilateral are equal hence ABCD is a parallelogram.
Thus, ABCD is rhombus.

Question 4.
Show that the diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles.

Answer:
Given: Let ABCD be a square and its diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O.
To prove: AC = BD, AO = OC and ∠AOB = 90°
Proof: In ΔABC and ΔBAD,
AB = BA (Common)
∠ABC = ∠BAD = 90° (Each angle of square is of 90°)
BC = AD (All sides of square are equal)
Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD by SAS congruence criterion.
Thus, AC = BD (by CPCT).
i.e., diagonals are equal.

Now, In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
∠BAO = ∠DCO (Alternate interior angles)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
AB = CD (Given)
Therefore, ΔAOB = ΔCOD by AAS congruence criterion.
Thus, AO = CO and BO = DO by CPCT i.e.
Diagonals bisect each other.
Now, In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,
OB = OB (common)
AO = CO (Proved above)
AB = CB (Sides of the square)
Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB by SSS congruence criterion.
∴ ∠AOB = ∠COB (CPCT)
Also, ∠AOB + ∠COB = 180°
(Linear pair)
Thus, ∠AOB = ∠COB = 90° i.e.
Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

Question 5.
Show that if the diagonals of a which diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angles at O.

Answer:
Given: Let ABCD be a quadrilateral in which diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angles at O.
To prove: Quadrilateral ABCD is a square.
Proof: In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
OB = OD (Diagonals bisect each other)
Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD by SAS congruence criterion.
Thus, AB = CD by CPCT. ……. (i)
Now, In ΔAOD and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOD = ∠COD = 90° (Diagonals bisect each other at right angle)
OD = OD (Common)
Therefore, ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOD by SAS congruence criterion.
Thus, AD = CD by CPCT
Similarly, ΔCOD ≅ ΔBOC and BC = CD (CPCT)
⇒ AD = BC = CD = AB ……… (ii)
Also, as diagonals bisect each other, so, ABCD is a parallelogram.

Consider ΔACD and ΔBDC
AD = BC (Proved above)
CD = CD (Common)
AC = BD (Given)
⇒ ΔACD ≅ ΔBDC (by SSS congruence criterion)
⇒ ∠ADC = ∠BCD (CPCT)
As ABCD is a parallelogram so,
AD || BC
⇒ ∠ADC + ∠BDC = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal)
∴ ∠ADC – ∠BCD = 90°.
So, ABCD is a parallelogram in which all sides are equal and one angle is 90°
⇒ ABCD is a square.

Question 6.
Diagonal AC of a parallelogram ABCD bisects ∠A (see Fig.). Show that
(i) it bisects ∠C also,
(ii) ABCD is a rhombus.

Answer:
(i) As ABCD is a parallelogram
⇒ AB || CD and AD || BC
⇒ ∠BAC = ∠ACD …….(i)
(Alternate interior angles)
∠CAD = ∠ACB ……. (ii)
(Alternate interior angles)
Also, ∠CAD = ABAC …….. (iii)
(As AC bisects ∠A)
Therefore, ∠BCA=∠DCA [By (i), (ii), (iii)]
⇒ AC bisects ∠C.

(ii) As ABCD is a parallelogram
⇒ AD = BC and AB = CD …(iv)
Also, as ∠CAD = ∠ACB (Alternate interior angles)
and ∠ACB = ∠ACD (Proved)
⇒ ∠CAD = ∠ACD
⇒ AD = CD …(v)
(sides opposites to equal angles are equal)
Similarly, AB = BC …(vi)
Therefore, AB = BC = CD = AD (By (iv), (v) (vi))
So, ABCD is a parallelogram in which all sides are equal.
⇒ ABCD is a rhombus.

Question 7.
ABCD is a rhombus. Show that diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C and

Answer:
Let ABCD is a rhombus and AC and BD be its diagonals.
Proof: In ΔACD – AD = CD (Sides of a rhombus)
∠DAC = ∠DCA
(Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)
Also, AB || CD (Opposite sides of rhombus are parallel)
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠BCA (Alternate interior angles)
⇒ ∠DCA = ∠BCA
Therefore, AC bisects ∠C.
In ∆ABC,
AB = BC (Sides of a rhombus)
⇒ ∠BAC = ∠BCA (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Also, AD || BC (Opposite sides of rhombus are parallel)
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠BCA (Alternate interior angles)
∴ ∠BAC = ∠DAC
⇒ AC bisects ∠A
Similarly we can prove that diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D.

Question 8.
ABCD is a rectangle in which diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C. Show that:
(i) ABCD is a square
(ii) diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D.

Answer:
(i) AB || CD and AD || BC (∵ opposite sides of rectangle are parallel)
⇒ ∠1 = ∠4 and∠2=∠3 (Alternate interior angles)
Also, as AC bisects ∠A and ∠C
⇒ ∠1 = ∠2 and ∠3 = ∠4
Therefore ∠2 = ∠4
So, in ΔACD,
AD = CD (sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
Also, AD = BC and AB = CD (∵ opposite sides of rectangle are equal)
∴ AB = BC = CD = AD
⇒ ABCD is a rectangle in which all sides are equal
⇒ ABCD is a square.

(ii) In ΔABD,
AB = AD (sides of a square)
⇒ ∠5 = ∠7 (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Also, as AB || CD
⇒ ∠5 = ∠8 (Alternate interior angles)
∴ ∠7 = ∠8
⇒ BD bisects ∠D
Similarly, BD bisects ∠B.

Page-147

Question 9.
In parallelogram ABCD, two points P and Q are taken on diagonal BD such that DP = BQ (see Fig). Show that:

(i) ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB
(ii) AP = CQ
(iii) ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD
(iv) AQ = CP
(v) APCQ is a parallelogram
Answer:
(i) In ΔAPD and ΔCQB,
DP = BQ (Given)
∠ADP = ∠CBQ (Alternate interior angles)
AD = BC (Opposite sides of a ||^gm)
Thus, ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB
(by SAS congruence criterion)

(ii) AP = CQ by CPCT as ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB.

(iii) In ΔAQB and ΔCPD,
BQ = DP (Given)
∠ABQ = ∠CDP (Alternate interior angles)
AB = CD (Opposite sides of a ||^gm)
Thus, ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD by SAS congruence criterion.

(iv) AQ = CP by CPCT as ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD.

(v) From (ii) and (iv), we get opposite sides of quadrilateral APCQ are equal. Thus, APCQ is a ||^gm.

Question 10.
ABCD is a parallelogram and AP and CQ are perpendiculars from vertices A and C on diagonal BD (see Fig). Show that
(i) ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD
(ii) AP = CQ

Answer:
(i) In ΔAPB and ΔCQD,
∠ABP = ∠CDQ (Alternate interior angles)
∠APB = ∠CQD = 90° (∵ AP and CQ are perpendiculars)
AB = CD (Opposite sides of a is a parallelogram)
Thus, ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD (by AAS congruence criterion)

(ii) AP = CQ by CPCT as ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD.

Question 11.
In ΔABC and ΔDEF, AB = DE, AB || DE, BC = EF and BC || EF. Vertices A, B and C are joined to vertices D, E and F respectively (see Fig).
Show that
(i) quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram
(ii) quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram
(iii) AD || CF and AD = CF
(iv) quadrilateral ACFD is a parallelogram
(v) AC = DF
(vi) ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF.

Answer:
(i) AB = DE and AB || DE (Given)
Thus, quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram because a pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal and parallel to each other.

(ii) Again BC = EF and BC || EF.
Thus, quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram.

(iii) Since ABED and BEFC are parallelograms.
⇒ AD = BE and BE = CF
(Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
Thus, AD = CF.
Also, AD || BE and BE || CF
(Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel)
Thus, AD || CF

(iv) AD and CF are opposite sides of quadrilateral ACFD which are equal and parallel to each other.
Thus, ACFD is a parallelogram.

(v) AC || DF and AC = DF because ACFD is a parallelogram.

(vi) In ∆ABC and ∆DEF,
AB = DE (Given)
BC = EF (Given)
AC = DF (Opposite sides of a parallelogram ACFD)
Thus, ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF (by SSS congruence criterion)

Question 12.
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || CD and AD = BC.
Show that
(i) ∠A = ∠B
(ii) ∠C = ∠D
(iii) ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD
(iv) diagonal AC = diagonal BD

[Hint: Extend AB and draw a line through C parallel to DA intersecting AB produced at E.]
Answer:
Construction: Draw a line through C parallel to DA intersecting AB produced at E.
Proof:
(i) In quadrilateral ∆DCE
AE || CD (as AB || CD)
AD || CE (By construction)
∴ ∆DCE is a parallelogram as opposite sides are parallel
CE = AD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
AD = BC (Given)
Therefore, BC = CE
⇒ ∠CBE = ∠CEB
(Angles opposite to equal sides)
also, ∠A + ∠CBE = 180°
(Angles on the same side of transversal and ∠CBE = ∠CEB)
∠B + ∠CBE = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ ∠A = ∠B

(ii) ∠A + ∠D = ∠B+ ∠C= 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal)
⇒ ∠A + ∠D = ∠A + ∠C (∵ ∠A = ∠B)
⇒ ∠D = ∠C

(iii) In ∆ABC and ∆BAD,
AB = AB (Common)
∠DAB = ∠CBA (Proved)
AD = BC (Given)
Thus, ∆ABC ≅ ∆BAD by SAS congruence criterion.

(iv) Diagonal AC = diagonal BD by CPCT as ∆ABC ≅ ∆BAD.

Page-128

Question 1.
∆ABC and ∆DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC and vertices A and D are on the same side of BC (see Fig). If AD is extended to intersect BC at P, show that

(i) ΔABD ≅ ΔACD
(ii) ΔABP ≅ ΔACP
(iii) AP bisects ∠A as well as ∠D.
(iv) AP is the perpendicular bisector of BC.
Answer:
Given: ΔABC and ΔDBC are two isosceles triangles.
Proof: (i) In ΔABD and ΔACD,
AD = AD (Common)
AB = AC (ΔABC is isosceles)
BD = CD (ΔDBC is isosceles)
Therefore, ΔABD ≅ ΔACD by SSS congruence criterion.

(ii) In ΔABP and ΔACP,
AP = AP (Common)
∠PAB = ∠PAC (ΔABD ≅ ΔACD so by CPCT)
AB = AC (ΔABC is isosceles)
Therefore, ΔABP ≅ ΔACP by SAS congruence criterion.

(iii) ∠PAB = ∠PAC by CPCT as ΔABD ≅ ΔACD.
AP bisects ∠A. ………..(i)
Also, in ΔBPD and ΔCPD,
PD = PD (Common)
BD = CD (ΔDBC is isosceles)
BP = CP (ΔABP ≅ ΔACP so by CPCT)
Therefore, ΔBPD ≅ ΔCPD by SSS congruence criterion.
Thus, ∠BDP = ∠CDP by CPCT. …(ii) By (i) and (ii) we can say that AP bisects ∠A as well as ∠D.

(iv) ∠BPD = ∠CPD (by CPCT as ΔBPD = ΔCPD)
and BP = CP …(hi)
Also, ∠BPD + ∠CPD = 180° (BC is a straight line)
⇒ 2∠BPD = 180°
⇒ ∠BPD = 90° …(iv)
From (i) and (ii),
AP is the perpendicular bisector of BC.

Question 2.
AD is an altitude of an isosceles triangle ABC in which AB = AC. Show that
(i) AD bisects BC
(ii) AD bisects ∠A.

Answer:
Proof: (i) In ΔABD and ΔACD,
∠ADB – ∠ADC = 90°
AB = AC (Given)
AD = AD (Common)
Therefore, ΔABD ≅ ΔACD by RHS congruence criterion.
Now,
BD = CD (by CPCT)
Thus, AD bisects BC.

(ii) ∠BAD = ∠CAD (by CPCT)
Thus, AD bisects ∠A.

Question 3.
Two sides AB and BC and median AM of one triangle ABC are respectively equal to sides PQ and QR and median PN of ΔPQR (see Fig). Show that:

(i) ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN
(ii) ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
Answer:
Given: AB = PQ, BC = QR and AM = PN
Proof:
(i) \(\frac{1}{2}\) BC = BM and \(\frac{1}{2}\) QR = QN (AM and PN are medians)
BC = QR (Given)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) BC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) QR
⇒ BM = QN

In ΔABM and ΔPQN,
AM = PN (Given)
AB = PQ (Given)
BM = QN (Proved above)
Therefore, ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN by SSS congruence criterion.

(ii) In ΔABC and ΔPQR,
AB = PQ (Given)
∠ABC = ∠PQR
(AABM = APQN so by CPCT) BC = QR (Given)
Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR by SAS congruence criterion.

Question 4.
BE and CF are two equal altitudes of a triangle ABC. Using RHS congruence rule, prove that the triangle ABC is isosceles.

Ans. Given: BE and CF are two equal altitudes.
Proof: In ABEC and ACFB,
∠BEC = ∠CFB = 90° (Altitudes)
BC = CB (Common)
BE = CF (Given)
Therefore, ΔBEC ≅ ΔCFB by RHS congruence criterion.
Now,
∠C = ∠B (by CPCT)
Thus, AB = AC (sides opposite to the equal angles are equal.)
Therefore, ΔABC is isosceles.

Question 5.
ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC. Draw AP ⊥ BC to show that ∠B = ∠C.

Answer:
Given: AB = AC
Proof: In ΔABP and ΔACP,
AB = AC (Given)
AP = AP (Common)
Therefore, ΔABP ≅ ΔACP by RHS congruence criterion.
Thus, ∠B = ∠C (by CPCT)

भाषिक-विस्तार –

1. किसी भी काम को करके’ इस अर्थ में ‘क्त्वा’ प्रत्यय का प्रयोग किया जाता है। यथा-
पठित्वा – पठ् + क्त्वा = पढ़कर
गत्वा – गम् + क्त्वा = जाकर
खादित्वा – खाद् + क्त्वा = खाकर

इसी अर्थ में अगर धातु (क्रिया) से पहले उपसर्ग होता है तो ल्यप् प्रत्यय का प्रयोग होता है। धातु से पूर्व उपसर्ग होने की स्थिति में कभी भी ‘क्त्वा’ प्रत्यय नहीं हो सकता और उपसर्ग न होने की स्थिति में कभी भी ल्यप् प्रत्यय नहीं हो सकता है। यथा –

उप + गम् + ल्यप् = उपगम्य
सम् + पूज् + ल्यप् = सम्पूज्य
वि + विलोक्य आ + ल्यप् = आदाय
निर् + गम् + ल्यप् = निर्गत्य

2. प्रश्नवाचक शब्दों को अनिश्चयवाचक बनाने के लिए चित् और चन निपातों का प्रयोग किया जाता है। ये निपात जब सर्वनाम पदों के साथ लगते हैं तो सर्वनाम पद होते हैं और जब अव्यय पदों के साथ प्रयुक्त होते हैं तो अव्यय होते हैं।

यथा – कः = कौन
कः + चन = कश्चन = कोई
कः + चित् = कश्चित् = कोई
के + चन = केचन = कोई (बहुवचन में)
के + चित् = केचित् (बहुवचन में)
का + चन = काचन = कोई (स्त्री)
का + चित् = काचित् (कोई स्त्री)
काः + चन = काश्चन = कुछ स्त्रियाँ (बहुवचन में)
काः+ चित् = काश्चित् (कुछ स्त्रियाँ) (बहुवचन में)

“किम्’ शब्द के सभी वचनों, लिंगों व सभी विभक्तियों में ‘चित्’ और ‘चन’ का प्रयोग किया जा सकता है और उसे अनिश्चयवाचक बनाया जा सकता है।

जैसे- (i) किञ्चित्-प्रथमा में
(ii) केनचित्-तृतीया में
(iii) केषाञ्चित् (केषाम् + चित्)-षष्ठी में
(iv) कस्मिंश्चित्-सप्तमी में
(v) कस्याञ्चित्-सप्तमी (स्त्रीलिङ्ग में)

इस तरह ‘चित्’ के स्थान पर ‘चन’ का प्रयोग होता है। ‘चित्’ और ‘चन’ जब अव्यय पदों में लग जाते हैं तो वे अव्यय हो जाते हैं। जैसे- क्वचित्-क्वचन कदाचित्-कदाचन

3. संस्कृत में एक से चतुर् (चार) तक संख्यावाची शब्द पुल्लिङ्ग, स्त्रीलिङ्ग तथा नपुंसकलिङ्ग में अलग-अलग रूपों में होते हैं पर पञ्च (पाँच) से उनका रूप सभी लिङ्गों में एक-सा होता है।

स्वर्णकाकः Summary and Translation in Hindi

पाठ परिचयः – प्रस्तुत पाठ श्री पद्मशास्त्री द्वारा विरचित ‘विश्वकथाशतकम्’ नामक कथासंग्रह से लिया गया है। जिसमें विभिन्न देशों की सौ लोक कथाओं का संग्रह है। यह वर्मा देश की श्रेष्ठतम कथाओं में से एक है, जिसमें लोभ और उसके दुष्परिणामों के साथ-साथ त्याग और उसके सुपरिणामों का वर्णन एक ‘सुनहले पंखों वाले कौए’ के माध् यम से किया गया है।

प्राचीन समय में एक गाँव में एक वृद्ध स्त्री रहती थी। उसकी पुत्री विनम्र और सुन्दर थी। एक बार माता ने उससे धूप में रखे चावलों की पक्षियों से रक्षा करने को कहा। कुछ समय पश्चात् एक सुनहले पंखों वाला कौआ उड़ता हुआ वहाँ पहुँचा और चावलों को खाने लगा।

लड़की के मना करने पर उस कौए ने उस लड़की से सूर्योदय से पहले गाँव के बाहर पीपल के पेड़ के नीचे आकर चावलों का मूल्य लेने को कहा। जब सूर्योदय से पहले वह लड़की वहाँ पहुँची तो उस लड़की ने वृक्ष के ऊपर सोने का महल देखा। लड़की की त्याग-भावना से प्रसन्न हुए कौए ने उस लड़की को सोने की सीढ़ी से ऊपर चढ़ाया तथा सोने की थाली में स्वादिष्ट भोजन कराया। लड़की ने कौए द्वारा दी गयी तीन सन्दूकों में से सबसे छोटी सन्दूक को चावलों के मूल्य के रूप में स्वीकार किया। लड़की ने घर पहुँचकर सन्दूक को खोलकर देखा, उस सन्दूक में भरे हीरों को देखकर वह बहुत प्रसन्न हुई और वह उसी दिन से धनिक बन गई।

उसी गाँव की एक लालची स्त्री को जब उस निर्धन लड़की के धनिक बनने का पता चला तो उस लालची स्त्री ने भी अपनी पुत्री से धूप में रखे चावलों की पक्षियों से रक्षा करने को कहा। जब वह सुनहला कौआ वहाँ पहुँचकर चावलों को खाने लगा तो उस कौए को लड़की ने भी उन चावलों को खाने से रोका। कौए ने उस लड़की से भी सूर्योदय से पूर्व ! गाँव के बाहर पीपल के वृक्ष के नीचे आने को कहा। वह लड़की सूर्योदय से पहले वहाँ पहुँचकर कौए की निन्दा करने । लगी और चावलों का मूल्य माँगने लगी।

कौए द्वारा सीढ़ियों की पूछने पर अभिमानी लड़की बोली कि सोने की सीढ़ियों से आऊँगी, परन्तु ‘सुनहले पंखों वाले कौए’ ने उसके लिए ताँबे की सीढ़ी दी। कौए ने उस लड़की को भोजन भी ताम्रपात्र में कराया। कौए द्वारा दी गई तीन पेटियों में से सबसे बड़ी पेटी लेकर वह खुशी-खुशी घर लौटी और जब उस लड़की ने उस पेटी को खोलकर देखा तो भयंकर काले साँप के रूप में अपने लोभ के फल को प्राप्त कर दुःखी हुई। इसके पश्चात् उसने लालच करना छोड़ दिया।

JAC Board Class 9th Social Science Notes History Chapter 5 Pastoralists in the Modern World

→  Introduction

• Pastoralism is a way of keeping animals such as cattle, sheep, camels or goats, and involves moving from one place to another in search of water and food.
• Pastoralism has been important in societies like India and Africa for years.

→ Pastoral Nomads and their Movements in the Mountains

• Nomads are people who do not live at one place, but move from one place to another to earn their living.
• The Gujjar Bakarwals of Jammu and Kashmir are great herders of goat and sheep.
• In winter, when the high mountains were covered with snow, the Gujjars lived along with their herds in the low hills of the Shiwalik range.
• By the end of April, they began their northern march for their summer grazing grounds. They crossed the Pir Panjal passes and entered the valley of Kashmir.
• By the end of September, the Bakarwals were on the move again, this time on their downward journey, back to their winter base. When the high mountains were covered with snow, the herds were grazed in the low hills.
• In a different area of the mountains, the Gaddi shepherds of Himachal Pradesh had a similar cycle of seasonal movement.
• This pattern of cyclical movement between summer and winter pastures was typical of many pastoral communities of the Himalayas, including the Bhotiyas, Sherpas and Kinnauris. All of them had to adjust to seasonal changes and make effective use of available pastures in different places.

→ On the Plateaus, Plains and Deserts

• Not all pastoralists operated in the mountains. They were also to be found in the pla-teaus, plains and deserts of India.
• Dhangars were an important pastoral community of Maharashtra. Most of them were shepherds. Some were blanket
  weavers. While others were buffalo herders.
• The Dhangars stayed in the central plateau of Maharashtra during the monsoon. Nothing but dry crops like bajra could be sown here.
• By October, the Dhangars harvested their bajra and started on their move to west. After a march of about a month, they reached the Konkan.
• With the onset of the monsoon, the Dhangars left the Konkan and the coastal areas with their flocks and returned to their settlements on the dry plateau.
• Other pastoral communities of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh were the Gollas (herded cattle), the Kurumas and Kurubas (reared sheep and goats and sold woven blankets).
• Banjaraswere yet another well-known group of graziers. They were found in the vil-lages of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
• In the deserts of Rajasthan, lived the Raikas. They combined cultivation within pastoralism.
• One group of Raikas known as the Maru (desert) Raikas herded camels and another group reared sheep and goats.

→ Colonial Rule and Pastoral Life

• Under colonial rule, the life of Pastoralists changed dramatically. Their grazing grounds shrank, their movements were regulated, and the revenue they had to pay increased. Their agricultural stock declined and their trades and crafts were adversely affected.
• The colonial government wanted to transform all grazing lands into cultivated farms.
• By expanding cultivation, it could increase its revenue collection.
• Expansion of cultivation inevitably meant the decline of pastures and a problem for pastoralists.
• The Forest Acts made by the British Government changed the lives of pastoralists. Some
  forest which produced commercially valuable timber like ‘deodar’ or ‘sal’ were declared as ‘reserved’. .
• In the reserved forests, no pastoral activity was allowed, and in the protected forests, their activities were strictly restricted.
• In 1871, the British Government in India passed the Criminal Tribes Act. This act classified communities of craftsmen, traders and pastoralists as Criminal Tribes.
• As a result of this Act, these communities were expected to live only in notified vil¬lage settlements and they were not allowed to move without a permit from the British government.
• In the mid nineteenth century, Grazing tax was introduced by British Government in most pastoral lands of India.
• In order to increase income, the British Government imposed tax even on animals. The tax per head of cattle went up rapidly and the system of collection was made increasingly efficient.
• By the decade of1880s the government began collecting taxes directly from the pastoralists. To enter a grazing tract, the pastoralists had to show their pass and pay the tax.

→ How Did these Changes Affect the Lives of Pastoralists

• Wasteland Rules, Forest Acts, Criminal Tribes Act and imposition of grazing tax affected the lives of pastoralists adversely. These measures led to the serious shortage of pastures, as grazing lands were turned into cultivable land.
• The shepherds and cattle herders could no longer freely graze their cattle in the forests.
• Nomadic people had to move frequently from one place to another in search of pastures.
• Animal stock declined as under-fed cattle died in large numbers during droughts and famines.

→ How Did the Pastoralists Cope with these Changes?

• Pastoralists coped up with the changes in a variety of ways. Some pastoralists reduced the number of cattle in their herds, since there was not enough pasture to feed large numbers.
• Some pastoralists discovered new pastures when movement to old grazing grounds became difficult.
• Over the years, some richer pastoralists began buying land and settling down, giving up their nomadic life.
• Many poor pastoralists borrowed money from moneylenders to survive. Some of them became labourers, working on fields or in small towns. Yet, pastoralists not only continue to survive in many regions but their numbers have also expanded over recent decades.
• Many ecologists believe that in dry regions and in the mountains, pastoralism is still ecologically the most practical way of life.
• Such changes on pastoral communities were imposed not only in our country, but also all over the world.

→ Pastoralistn in Africa

• Africa is a continent where over half the world’s pastoral population lives.
• Even today, over 22 million Africans depend on some forms of pastoral activities for their livelihood.
• The different pastoral communities of Africa are Bedouins, Berbers, Maasai, Somali, Turkna and Boran.
• Most of them lived in semi-arid grasslands or arid deserts where rain fed agriculture is difficult.
• They raise cattle, camels, goats, sheep and donkeys and they sell milk, meat, animal skin and wool. Some of them earn through trade and transport.

→  Where have the Grazing Lands Gone?

• The Maasai are nomadic and pastoral people who depend on milk and meat for livelihood.
• The Maasai cattle herders live primarily in East Africa : 3,00,000 in Southern Kenya and another 1,50,000 in Tanzania.
• The new colonial laws and regulations took away their lives in times of drought and even reshaped their social relationships.
• One of the problems that Maasais have faced is the continuous loss <?f their grazing lands.
• In 1885, under colonial rule, Maasai land was cut into half with an International boundary between British Kenya and German Tonganyika. The Maasais lost about 60 per cent of their pre-colonial lands.
• As cultivation expanded, pasturelands were turned into cultivated fields.
• Large areas of grazing lands were also turned into game reserves like the Maasai Mara in Kenya and Serengeti Park in Tanzaniya; pastoralists were not allowed to enter these reserves.

→ The Borders are Closed

• Pastoral groups were forced to live within the boundaries of special reserves.
• They were not allowed to move out with their stock without special permits. They were not even allowed to trade and enter the markets in white areas.
• These restrictions adversely affected both their pastoral and trading activities. Earlier, pastoralists not only looked after animal herds, but they also traded in various products.

→ When Pastures Dry

• The Maasais were forced to live in drought-prone areas, as a result of this, large num-bers of Maasai cattle died of starvation and diseases. There was a severe decline in the animal stock of Maasais.

→ Not All were Equally Affected

• The colonial rules had unequal effects on elders and warrior groups of Maasai society.
• The British imposed various restrictions on raiding and warfare. Thus, the traditional authority of both elders and warriors was negatively affected.
• The chiefs appointed by the colonial government collected wealth overtime. They started to live in towns and got involved in trades. Their families stayed back in villages to look after land and animals.
• The poor pastoralists did not have the resources to survive in bad times and thus they were forced to do odd jobs like charcoal burners, workers in road and building construction etc.

→ Conclusion

• Pastoral communities in different parts of the world are affected in a variety of different way by changes in the modem world. New laws and new borders affect the patterns of their movement.
• They change the path of their annual movements reduce their cattle numbers, pressurise for rights to enter new areas.
• They put political pressure on the government for relief, subsidy and other forms of support and demand a right in the management of forests and water resources.
• Economists and environmentalists have increasingly come to recognise that pastoral nomadism is a form of life that is perfectly suited to many hilly and dry regions of the world even today.

→ Important Dates and Related Events

• 1871: The Criminal Tribes Act was passed by the colonial government in India.
• 1850s- 1880s: The right to collect the tax was auctioned out to contractors.
• 1880s: The government began collecting taxes directly from the pastoralists. Each of them was given a pass.

Jharkhand Board JAC Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Triangles Ex 6.5 Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

JAC Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Triangles Exercise 6.5

Question 1.
Sides of triangles are given below, Determine which of them are right triangles. In case of a right triangle, write the length of its hypotenuse:
1. 7 cm, 24 cm, 25 cm
2. 3 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm
3. 50 cm, 80 cm, 100 cm
4. 13 cm, 12 cm, 5 cm
Solution :
1. 7 cm, 24 cm, 25 cm.
Here, the longest side is 25 cm.
25² = 625 and 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625
∴ 25² = 7² + 24²
Here, the square of the longest side equals the sum of squares of the other two sides. Hence, the triangle with sides 7 cm, 24 cm and 25 cm is a right triangle and the length of its hypotenuse, is 25 cm.

2. 3 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm
Here, the longest side is 8 cm.
8² = 64 and 3² + 6² = 9 + 36 = 45
∴ 8² ≠ 3² + 6²
Hence, the triangle with sides 3 cm, 8 cm and 6 cm is not a right triangle.

3. 50 cm, 80 cm, 100 cm
Here, the longest side is 100 cm.
100² = 10000 and
50² + 80² = 2500 + 6400 = 8900
∴ 100² ≠ 50² + 80²
Hence, the triangle with sides 50 cm, 80 cm and 100 cm is not a right triangle.

4. 13 cm, 12 cm, 5 cm
Here, the longest side is 13 cm.
13² = 169 and 12² + 5² = 144 + 25 = 169
∴ 13² = 12² + 5²
Here, the square of the longest side equals the sum of squares of the other two sides. Hence, the triangle with sides 13 cm. 12 cm and 5 cm is a right triangle and the length of its hypotenuse is 13 cm.

Question 2.
PQR is a triangle right angled at P and M is a point on QR such that PM ⊥ QR. Show that PM² = QM. MR.
Solution :

PQR is a triangle right angled at P and M is a point on QR such that PM ⊥ QR.
∴ ΔRMP ~ ΔPMQ ~ ΔRPQ (Theorem 6.7)
Now, ΔRMP ~ ΔPMQ
∴ \(\frac{PM}{QM}=\frac{RM}{PM}\)
∴ PM² = QM. MR

Question 3.
In the given figure, ABD is a triangle right-angled at A and AC ⊥ BD. Show that
1. AB² = BC.BD
2. AC² = BC.DC
3. AD² = BD.CD
Solution :

ABD is a triangle right angled at A and AC ⊥ BD.
∴ ΔBCA ~ ΔACD ~ ΔBAD (Theorem 6.7)
1. ΔBCA ~ ΔBAD
∴ \(\frac{AB}{DB}=\frac{CB}{AB}\)
∴ AB² = BC. BD

2. ΔBCA ~ ΔACD
∴ \(\frac{AC}{DC}=\frac{BC}{AC}\)
∴ AC² = BC. DC

3. ΔACD ~ ΔBAD
∴ \(\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{CD}{AD}\)
∴ AD² = BD . CD

Question 4.
ABC is an isosceles triangle right angled at C. Prove that AB² = 2AC².
Solution :
ABC is an isosceles triangle right angled at C.
Hence, AB is the hypotenuse and the other two sides are equal, i.e., BC = AC
In ΔABC, ∠C = 90°

∴ By Pythagoras theorem,
AB² = BC² + AC²
∴ AB² = AC² + AC² (∵ BC = AC)
∴ AB² = 2AC²

Question 5.
ABC is an isosceles triangle with AC = BC. If AB² = 2AC², prove that ABC is a right triangle.
Solution :
In ΔABC, AC = BC and AB² = 2AC²
AB² = 2AC²
∴ AB² = AC² + AC²
∴ AB² = AC² + BC² (∵ AC = BC)
Hence, by the converse of Pythagoras theorem, ΔABC is right triangle in which ∠C is a right angle.

Question 6.
ABC is an equilateral triangle of side 2a. Find each of its altitudes.
Solution :

In ΔABC, AB = BC = CA = 2a.
Let AD be its altitude
∴ ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°
In ΔADB and ΔADC,
∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°
AB = AC
AD = AD
∴ By RHS criterion,
= ΔADC
∴ BD = CD
But, BD + CD = BC
∴ BD = CD = \(\frac{1}{2}\)BC = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(2a) = a
Now, in ΔADB, ∠D = 90°
∴ By Pythagoras theorem,
AB² = AD² + BD²
∴ (2a)² = AD² + (a)²
∴ 4a² – a² = AD²
∴ AD² = 3a²
∴ AD = \(\sqrt{3}\)a
All the altitudes of an equilateral triangle are equal.
Hence, each of the altitudes of equilateral ΔABC with side 2a is \(\sqrt{3}\)a.

Question 7.
Prove that the sum of the squares of the sides of a rhombus is equal to the sum of the squares of its diagonals.
Solution :
Given: ABCD is a rhombus.
To prove : AB² + BC² + CD² + DA² = AC² + BD²

Proof: ABCD is a rhombus.
∴ AB = BC = CD = DA ……………(1)
Let its diagonals AC and BD intersect at M.
Then, MA = MC = \(\frac{1}{2}\)AC.
MB = MD = \(\frac{1}{2}\)BD and
∠AMB = ∠BMC = ∠CMD = ∠DMA = 90°
In ΔAMB, ∠AMB = 90°
∴ AB² = MA² + MB² (Pythagoras theorem)
∴ AB² = (\(\frac{AC}{2}\))² + (\(\frac{BD}{2}\))²
∴ AB² = (\(\frac{AC}{2}\))² + (\(\frac{BD}{2}\))²
∴ 4AB² = \(\frac{\mathrm{AC}^2}{4}+\frac{\mathrm{BD}^2}{4}\)
∴ 4AB² = AC² + BD²
∴ AB² + AB² + AB² + AB² = AC² + BD²
∴ AB² + BC² + CD² + DA² = AC² + BD²

Question 8.
In the given figure, O is a point in the interior of a triangle ABC, OD ⊥ BC, OE ⊥ AC and OF ⊥ AB. Show that:
1. OA² + OB² + OC² – OD² – OE² – OF² = AF² + BD² + CE²
2. AF² + BD² + CE² = AE² + CD² + BF².
Solution :

Join OA, OB and OC.
Here, in ΔOFA and ΔOFB, ∠F = 90°, in ΔODB and ΔODC, ∠D = 90° and in ΔOEC and ΔOEA. ∠E = 90°.
Then, Pythagoras theorem is applicable in all the triangles.
1. In ΔOFA, ∠F = 90°
∴ OA² = OF² + AF²
∴ AF² = OA² – OF² …………..(1)
In ΔODB, ∠D = 90°
∴ OB² = OD² + BD²
∴ BD² = OB² – OD² …………..(2)
In ΔOEC, OE² + CE²
∴ CE² = OC² – OE² …………..(3)
Adding (1), (2) and (3).
AF² + BD² + CE² = OA² – OF² + OB² – OD² + OC² – OE²
∴ OA² + OB² + OC² – OD² – OE² – OF² = AF² + BD² + CE²

2. AF² + BD² + CE² = OA² + OB² + OC² – OD² – OE² – OF²
∴ AF² + BD² + CE² = (OA² – OE²) + (OB² – OF²) + (OC² – OD²)
∴ AF² + BD² + CE² = AE² + BF² + CD² (∵ ΔOAE, ΔOBF and ΔOCD are right triangles)
∴ AF² + BD² + CE² = AE² + CD² + BF²

Question 9.
A ladder 10 m long reaches a window 8 m above the ground. Find the distance of the foot of the ladder from base of the wall.
Solution :

Here, AB is the wall with window at point A and AC is the ladder.
Then, AC = 10m and AB = 8 m.
In ΔABC, ∠B = 90°.
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² (Pythagoras theorem)
∴ 10² = 8² + BC²
∴ BC² = 10² – 8²
∴ BC² = 100 – 64
∴ BC² = 36
∴ BC = 6 m
Thus, the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall is 6 m.

Question 10.
A guy wire attached to a vertical pole of height 18 m is 24 m long and has a stake attached to the other end. How far from the base of the pole should the stake be driven so that the wire will be taut?
Solution :

Here, AB is the vertical pole in which the guy wire is attached at point A and AC is the guy wire and 18 m the stake is attached to its end C.
Then, AC = 24 m and AB = 18 m.
In ΔABC, ∠B = 90°
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² (Pythagoras theorem)
∴ 24² = 18² + BC²
∴ BC² = 576 – 324
∴ BC² = 252
∴ BC² = 4 × 9 × 7
∴ BC = 2 × 3 × \(\sqrt{7}\)
∴ BC = 6\(\sqrt{7}\) m
Thus, the stake should be driven 6\(\sqrt{7}\)m far from the base of the pole, so as to make the wire taut.

Question 11.
An airplane leaves an airport and flies due north at a speed of 1000 km per hour. At the same time, another airplane leaves the same airport and flies due west at a speed of 1200 km per hour. How far apart will be the two planes after 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours?
Solution :

Here, A is the airport, B is the position of the first plane flying due north after 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours and C is the position of the second c- plane flying due west after 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours.
[Note: For the sake of simplicity, we consider that both the planes are flying at the same height and point A representing the airport is also imagined to be at the same height.]
Then, AB = distance covered by the first plane in 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours
= Speed × Time
= 1000 × \(\frac{3}{2}\)
= 1500 km
Similarly, AC = distance covered by the second plane in 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours
= Speed × Time
= 1200 × \(\frac{3}{2}\)
= 1800 km
Also, ∠BAC is the angle formed by north direction and west direction.
Hence ∠BAC = 90°
Now, in ΔABC, ∠A = 90°
∴ BC² = AB² + AC² (Pythagoras theorem)
∴ BC² = (1500)² + (1800)²
∴ BC² = 22500 + 32400
∴ BC² = 54900
∴ BC = \(\sqrt{100 \times 9 \times 61}\)
∴ BC = 300\(\sqrt{61}\) km
Thus, the two planes will be 300\(\sqrt{61}\) km apart from each other after 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours.

Question 12.
Two poles of heights 6m and 11 m stand on a plane ground. If the distance between the feet of the poles is 12 m, find the distance between their tops.
Solution :

Here, AB and CD are two erect poles of height 6 m and 11 m respectively.
The distance between the feet of the poles is 12 m.
Then, AB = 6 m, BD = 12 m, CD = 11 m, ∠B = 90° and ∠D = 90°.
Draw AE || BC.
Then, in quadrilateral ABDE.
∠B = ∠D = ∠E = ∠A = 90°.
Hence, ABDE is a rectangle.
∴ ED = AB = 6m and AE = BD = 12 m.
Then, CE = CD – DE = 11 – 6 = 5m
Now, in ΔAEC, ∠E = 90°.
∴ AC² = AE² + CE² (Pythagoras theorem)
∴ AC² = 12² + 5²
∴ AC² = 144 + 25
∴ AC² = 169
∴ AC = 13 m
Thus, the distance between the tops of the vertical poles is 13 m.

Question 13.
D and E are points on the sides CA and CB respectively of a triangle ABC right angled at C. Prove that AE² + BD² = AB² + DE²
Solution :
In ΔABC, ∠C is a right angle, point D lies on CA and point E lies on CB.

Then, all the four triangles BCD, BCA, ECD and ECA are right triangles and in each of them C is a right angle.
Hence, Pythagoras theorem is applicable in all the four triangles.
In ΔECA, AE² = EC² + CA² ……………..(1)
In ΔBCD, BD² = BC² + CD² ……………..(2)
In ΔBCA, AB² = BC² + CA² ……………..(3)
In ΔECD, DE² = EC² + CD² ……………..(4)
Adding (1) and (2).
AE² + BD² = EC² + CA² + BC² + CD²
= (BC² + CA²) + (EC² + CD²)
= AB² + DE² [By (3) and (4)]
Thus, AE² + BD² = AB² + DE²

Question 14.
The perpendicular from A on side BC of a ΔABC intersects BC at D such that DB = 3CD (see the given figure). Prove that 2AB² = 2AC² + BC².
Solution :

DB = 3CD
∴ BC = DB + CD = 3CD + CD
∴ BC = 4CD …………..(1)
In ΔADB, ∠D = 90°
∴ AB² = AD² + DB² (Pythagoras theorem) …………..(2)
In ΔADC, ∠D = 90°
∴ AC² = AD² + CD² (Pythagoras theorem) …………..(3)
Subtracting (3) from (2),
AB² – AC² = (AD² + DB²) – (AD² + CD²)
∴ AB² – AC² = DB² – CD²
∴ AB² – AC² = (DB + CD) (DB – CD)
∴ AB² – AC² = (BC) (3CD – CD)
∴ AB² – AC² = (BC) (2CD)
Multiplying the equation by 2, we get
2AB² – 2AC² = (BC) (4CD)
∴ 2AB² – 2AC² = (BC) (BC)
∴ 2AB² = 2AC² + BC² [By (1)]

Question 15.
In an equilateral triangle ABC, D is a point on side BC such that BD = \(\frac{1}{3}\)BC. Prove that 9AD² = 7AB².
Solution :
Given: In equilateral ΔABC, D is a point on BC such that BD = \(\frac{1}{3}\)BC.
To prove: 9AD² = 7AB²

Construction: Draw AM ⊥ BC, such that M lies on BC.
Proof: ΔABC is an equilateral triangle. Suppose, AB = BC = AC = a
In equilateral ΔABC, AM is an altitude.
∴ AM is a median.
∴ BM = \(\frac{1}{2}\)BC = \(\frac{1}{2}\)a
∴ BD = \(\frac{1}{3}\)BC. Hence, DC = \(\frac{2}{3}\)BC
BD = \(\frac{1}{3}\)BC = \(\frac{1}{3}\)a
DM = BM – BD = \(\frac{1}{2}\)a – \(\frac{1}{3}\)a = \(\frac{1}{6}\)a
In ΔAMB, ∠M = 90°
∴ AB² = AM² + BM²
∴ a² = AM² + \(\frac{1}{4}\)a²
∴ AM² = \(\frac{3}{4}\)a²
In ΔAMD, ∠M = 90°
∴ AD² = AM² + DM²

∴ 9AD² = 7a²
∴ 9AD2 = 7AB² (∵ AB = a)

Question 16.
In an equilateral triangle, prove that three times the square of one side is equal to four times the square of one of its altitudes.
Solution :

ABC is an equilateral triangle in which AD is an altitude.
Let AB = BC CA- a units.
In an equilateral triangle, an altitude is a median also.
∴ AD is a median.
∴ BD = \(\frac{1}{2}\)BC = \(\frac{a}{2}\)units
In ΔADB, ∠D = 90°
∴ AB² = AD² + BD²
∴ (a)² = AD² + (\(\frac{a}{2}\))²
∴ a² = AD² + \(\frac{a^2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{3}{4}\)a² = AD²
∴ 3a² = 4AD²
∴ 3 (side)² = 4 (altitude)²

Question 17.
Tick the correct answer and justify: In ΔABC, AB = 6\(\sqrt{3}\) cm, AC = 12 cm and BC= 6 cm. The angle B is:
(A) 120°
(B) 60°
(C) 90°
(D) 45°
Solution :
In ΔABC, AB = 6\(\sqrt{3}\) cm = 10.38 cm (approx),
AC = 12 cm and BC = 6 cm
Here, AC is the longest side.
Then, 12² = 144 and
(6\(\sqrt{3}\))² + (6)² – 108 + 36 = 144
Thus, 12² = (6\(\sqrt{3}\))² + (6)²
Hence, by the converse of Pythagoras theorem, ΔABC is a right triangle in which the longest side AC is the hypotenuse and its opposite angle ∠B is a right angle.
Hence, the correct answer is (C) 90°.

Question 1.
In the given figure, PS is the bisector of ∠QPR of ΔPQR. Prove that \(\frac{QS}{SR}=\frac{PQ}{PR}\)
Solution :

Construction: Through Q, draw a line parallel to PS which intersects RP extended at M.
Proof: In ΔMQR, S and P are points on QR and MR respectively and PS || MQ.
∴ \(\frac{QS}{SR}=\frac{MP}{PR}\) (BPT) ……………(1)
Now, PS || MQ and PQ is their transversal.
∴ ∠SPQ = ∠PQM (Alternate angles) ……(2)
Similarly, PS || MQ and MR is their transversal.
∴ ∠RPS = ∠PMQ (Corresponding angles) …………….(3)
PS is the bisector of ∠QPR.
∴ ∠SPQ = ∠RPS …………….(4)
From (2), (3) and (4).
∠PQM = ∠PMQ.
∴ In ΔPMQ, MP = PQ ……….(5)
From (1) and (5), we get
\(\frac{QS}{SR}=\frac{PQ}{PR}\)

Question 2.
In the given figure, D is a point on hypotenuse AC of ΔABC, such that BD ⊥ AC, DM ⊥ BC and DN ⊥ AB. Prove that:
1. DM² = DN . MC
2. DN² = DM . AN
Solution :

In quadrilateral DMBN, ∠B = ∠M = ∠N = 90°.
Hence, DMBN is a rectangle.
∴ DN = MB ………….. (1)
and DM = NB ………….. (2)
Now, BD ⊥ AC
∴ ∠BDC = 90° and ΔBDC is a right triangle in which DM is altitude on hypotenuse BC.
Then, ΔBMD ~ ΔDMC ~ ΔBDC. (Theorem 6.7)
∴ \(\frac{DM}{CM}=\frac{BM}{DM}\)
∴ DM² = BM. CM
∴ DM² = DN. MC [By (1), DN = MB] [Result (1)]
Similarly, ΔADB is a right triangle in which DN is altitude on hypotenuse AB.
∴ ΔAND ~ ΔDNB ~ ΔADB (Theorem 6.7)
∴ \(\frac{DN}{BN}=\frac{AN}{DN}\)
∴ DN2 = BN. AN
∴ DN² = DM . AN [By (2), DM = NB] [Result (2)]

Question 3.
In the given figure, ABC is a triangle in which ∠ABC > 90° and AD ⊥ CB produced. Prove that AC² = AB² + BC² + 2BC . BD.
Solution :

In ΔADC, ∠D = 90°
∴ AC² = AD² + DC²
∴ AD² = AC² – DC² ……………(1)
In ΔADB, ∠D = 90°
∴ AB² = AD² + DB²
∴ AD² = AB² – DB² ……………(2)
From (1) and (2).
AC² – DC² = AB² – DB²
∴ AC² = AB² + DC² – DB²
∴ AC² = AB2 + (BC + DB)² – DB²
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² + 2BC . DB + DB² – DB²
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² + 2BC . BD

Question 4.
In the given figure, ABC is a triangle in which ∠ABC < 90° and AD ⊥ BC. Prove that AC² = AB² + BC² – 2BC . BD.
Solution :

In ΔADC, ∠D = 90°
∴ AC² = AD² + CD²
∴ AD² = AC² – CD² ……………….(1)
In ΔADB, ∠D = 90°
∴ AB² = AD² + BD²
∴ AD² = AB² – BD² ……………….(2)
From (1) and (2),
AC² – CD² = AB² -BD²
∴ AC² = AB² + CD² – BD²
∴ AC² = AB² + (BC – BD)² – BD²
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² – 2BC . BD + BD² – BD²
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² – 2BC . BD

Question 5.
In the given figure, AD is a median of a triangle ABC and AM ⊥ BC. Prove that:
1. AC² = AD² + BC. DM + (\(\frac{BC}{2}\))²
2. AB² = AD² – BC. DM + (\(\frac{BC}{2}\))²
3. AC² + AB² = 2AD² + \(\frac{1}{2}\)BC²
Solution :

Here, ΔAMD, ΔAMC and ΔAMB are right triangles.
Also, since AD is a median, D is the midpoint of BC.
∴ CD = BD = \(\frac{BC}{2}\)
Moreover, DM = CM – CD and DM = BD – BM
1. In ΔAMC, ∠M = 90°
∴ AC² = AM² + CM²
∴ AC² = AM² + (DM + CD)²
∴ AC² = AM² + DM² + 2. DM.CD + CD²
∴ AC² = (AM² + DM²) + (2CD) (DM) + CD²
∴ AC² = AD² + BC.DM + (\(\frac{BC}{2}\))²
(∵ In ΔAMD, AD² = AM² + DM²)

2. In ΔAMB, ∠M = 90°
∴ AB² = AM² + BM²
∴ AB² = AM² + (BD – DM)²
∴ AB² = AM² + BD² – 2 BD.DM + DM²
∴ AB² = (AM² + DM²) – (2BD) · (DM) + BD²
∴ AB² = AD² – BC.DM + (\(\frac{BC}{2}\))²
(∵ In ΔAMD, AD² = AM² + DM²)

3. Now, adding the results of part (1) and (2)
AC² + AB² = AD² + BC. DM + (\(\frac{BC}{2}\))² + AD² – BC . DM + (\(\frac{BC}{2}\))²
∴ AC² + AB² = 2AD² + 2(\(\frac{\mathrm{BC}^2}{4}\))
∴ AC² + AB² = 2AD² + \(\frac{1}{2}\)BC²
[Note: In this result, if we replace BC by 2BD, we get the famous result know as Apollonius theorem : If AD is a median of ΔABC, then AB² + AC² = 2 (AD² + BD²).]

Question 6.
Prove that the sum of the squares of the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.
Solution :
First of all, we prove Apollonius Theorem.
In ΔABC, let AD be a median and AM be an altitude as shown in the figure.
Then, AB² + AC²
= AM² + BM² + AM² + CM²
= 2AM² + (BD – MD)² + (CD + MD)²
= 2AM² + (BD – MD)² + (BD + MD)² (∵ CD = BD)
= 2AM² + 2BD² + 2MD²
= 2(AM² + MD²) + 2BD²
= 2AD² + 2BD²
∴ AB² + AC² = 2(AD² + BD²)

Let PQRS be a parallelogram in which the diagonals bisect each other at O.
Then, PO = RO = \(\frac{1}{2}\)PR and
QO = SO = \(\frac{1}{2}\)QS.
Now, in ΔPQR, QO is a median.
∴ PQ² + QR² = 2(QO² + PO²)
∴ PQ² + QR² = 2{(\(\frac{QS}{2}\))² + (\(\frac{PR}{2}\))²}
∴ PQ² + QR² = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(QS² + PR² ) ………….(1)
Similarly.
in ΔQRS, QR² + RS² = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(QR² + PR²) ……(2)
in ΔRSP, RS² + SP² = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(QS² + PR²) ……….(3)
in ΔSPQ, SP² + PQ² = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(QS² + PR²) ……….(4)
Adding (1), (2), (3) and (4), we get
2(PQ² + QR² + RS² + SP²) = 2(QS² + PR²)
∴ PQ² + QR² + RS² + SP² = QS² + PR²
Thus, the sum of the squares of the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.

Question 7.
In the given figure, two chords AB and CD intersect each other at the point P. Prove that
1. ΔAPC ~ ΔDPB
2. AP . PB = CP . DP
Solution :

Here, ∠CAB = ∠CDB
(Angles in the same segment)
∴ ∠CAP = ∠BDP
Similarly,
∠ACD = ∠DBA
(Angles in the same segment)
∴ ∠ACP = ∠DBP
Now, in ΔAPC and ΔDPB,
∠CAP = ∠BDP and ∠ACP = ∠DBP.
∴ By AA criterion, ΔAPC ~ ΔDPB. (Result 1)
∴ \(\frac{AP}{DP}=\frac{CP}{BP}\)
∴ AP . PB = CP . DP (Result 2)

Question 8.
In the given figure, two chords AB and CD of a circle intersect each other at the point P (when produced) outside the circle.
Prove that
1. ΔPAC ~ ΔPDB
2. PA . PB = PC . PD
Solution :

In cyclic quadrilateral ACDB,
ΔACD + ∠ABD = 180°
Again, ∠ACD + ∠ACP = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACP
∴ ∠PBD = ∠PCA.
Similarly, ∠CAB + ∠CDB = 180° (Cyclic quadrilateral)
∠CAB + ∠CAP = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠CDB = ∠CAP
∴ ∠PDB = ∠PAC
Now, in ΔPDB and ΔPAC,
∠PBD = ∠PCA
∠PDB = ∠PAC
∴ By AA criterion, ΔPAC ~ ΔPDB [Result (1)]
∴ \(\frac{PA}{PD}=\frac{PC}{PB}\)
∴ PA.PB = PC.PD [Result (2)]

Question 9.
In the given figure, D is a point on side BC of ΔABC such that \(\frac{BD}{CD}=\frac{AB}{AC}\). Prove that AD is the bisector of ∠BAC.
Solution :

Through B. draw a line parallel to AD to intersect CA extended at P.
Then, in ΔPBC, A and D are points on PC and BC respectively and PB || AD.
∴ \(\frac{PA}{AC}=\frac{BD}{CD}\)
Also, \(\frac{BD}{CD}=\frac{AB}{AC}\) (Given)
∴ PA = AB
Now, in ΔPAB, PA = AB
∴ ∠ABP = ∠APB …………..(1)
AD || BP and AB is their transversal.
∴ ∠ABP = ∠BAD (Alternate angles) …………..(2)
AD || BP and CP is their transversal.
∴ ∠APB = ∠CAD (Corresponding angles) …………..(3)
From (1), (2) and (3),
∠BAD = ∠CAD
Moreover, ∠BAD + ∠CAD = ∠BAC.
Hence, AD is the bisector of ∠BAC.

Question 10.
Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away from her and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, how much string does she have out (see the given figure)? If she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?
Solution :

Here, ΔABC represents the initial position in which A is the tip of her fishing rod, C is the fly at the end of the string and B is the point directly under the tip of the rod.
Then, in ΔABC, ∠B = 90°, AB = 1.8m and BC = 2.4 m.
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² (Pythagoras theorem)
∴ AC² = (1.8)² + (2.4)²
∴ AC² = 3.24 + 5.76
∴ AC² = 9
∴ AC = 3 m
Hence, in the initial position, she has 3 m of string out.
Length of string pulled-in in 1 sec = 5 cm
∴ Length of string pulled-in in 12 sec = 60 cm = 0.6 m
Now, in the second position, the length of string AC = 3m-0.6 m = 2.4 m and AB = 1.8 m.
Again, AC² = AB² + BC²
∴ (2.4)² = (1.8)² + BC²
∴ BC² = (2.4)² – (1.8)²
∴ BC² = (2.4 + 1.8) (2.4 – 1.8)
∴ BC² = 4.2 × 0.6
∴ BC² = 2.52
∴ BC = \(\sqrt{2.52}\)
∴ BC= 1.59 m (approx)
Now, the horizontal distance of the fly from her
= BC + 1.2 m
= (1.59 + 1.2) m
= 2.79 m

Question 1.
Explain why the artist has portrayed the nobleman as the spider and the peasant as the fly.
Answer:
The artist has depicted the nobleman as the spider and the peasant as the fly showing that flies work hard to get their food, they roam around here and there, whereas the spider creates a trap and catches the flies and receives food without any hard work.

In the same way, the nobleman had developed such a monarchy in the French society, in which the peasants used to arrange for livelihood with hard work and the nobleman used to get it as a tax without any hard work. Such depiction by the artist represents the exploiting class and the legal system created by him in the erstwhile French society.

Question 1.
Identify the symbols in Box 1 which stand for liberty, equality and fraternity.
Answer:
Liberty: The broken chain, Red Phrygian cap.
Equality: The winged woman, The law tablet.
Fraternity: The bundle of rods or fasces, National colours of France such as Blue-White-Red.

Question 2.
Explain the meaning of the painting of the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen, (Fig. 8) by reading only the symbols.
Answer:
in Fig. 8 a woman is shown wearing a blue, white and red dress. These colours are the national colours of France. The lady carrying the broken chain symbolises the freedom of the French citizens. On the other side, a winged woman is also shown which is a symbol of personification of the law. It expresses that all French citizens are law-abiding. Both pictures of women are shown on the Law Tablet which conveys the message that all are equal before the law.

Question 3.
Compare the political rights which the Constitution of 1791 gave to the citizens with Articles 1 and 6 of the Declaration (Source C). Are the two documents consistent? Do the two documents convey the same idea?
Answer:
The two documents are consistent and convey the same idea that human beings are born equal and all citizens are equal in front of the law. However, the constitution of 1791 did not give practical form to these ideas.

Question 4.
Which groups of French society would have gained from the Constitution of 1791? Which groups would have had reason to be dissatisfied? What developments does Marat (Source B) anticipate in the future?
Answer:

1. The Third Estate of French society would have gained the maximum benefit from the Constitution of 1791.
2. The First and Second Estates or the Aristocratic group would have the reason to be dissatisfied. They were forced to give up their privileges and a common tax was levied in return of all services.
3. Marat anticipates another revolution in which the poor will rebel against the rich persons of the third estate and overthrow them, just like they had done to the noblemen and clergy.

Question 5.
Imagine the impact of the events in France on neighbouring countries such as Prussia, Austria-Hungary or Spain, all of which were absolute monarchies. How would the kings, traders, peasants, nobles or members of the clergy here have reacted to the news of what was happening in France?
Answer:
The shadow of the events of France must also have fallen on the absolute monarchy countries of the neighbourhood such as Prussia, Austria-Hungry or Spain etc. These autocratic monarchy countries may have reduced the exploitation of citizens by reducing their autocracy. Because they may have feared that the incident in France may be repeated here as well.

The kings, noble, clergy and other privileged sections of these countries would become fearful that what has happened in France can happen in their country also. The peasant’s traders would welcome the developments in France and sympathise with the peasants and underprivileged sections of that country.

Answer:

1. A red cap and the Charter of the Declaration of Rights in the lady’s hand are the political symbols.

Question 1.
Compare the manifesto drafted by Olympe de Gouges (Source F) with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (Source C).
Answer:
The Declaration of the Rights of Men and citizens declares only the rights of Men and Citizens. Rights of women are not discussed in any article of this Declaration. On the other hand, the Declaration prepared by Olympe de Gouges discusses the rights of both men and women on the basis of equality.

Question 2.
Imagine yourself to be one of the women in Fig. 13. Formulate a response to the arguments put forward by Chaumette (Source G.)
Answer:
The arguments given by Chaumette are not justifiable. He has mentioned only the biological role of women. As individual, women have equal rights to men and so they must be treated equal to men. They would of course, continue their traditional roles like feeding and nurturing children, things of the household etc. but women are equally capable as men to carry out the other duties of human society also.

Question 1.
Find out more about anyone. of the revolutionary figures, you have read about in this chapter. Write a short biography of this person.
Answer:
Olympe de Gouges (1748-1793): Olympe de Gouges was one of the most important of politically active women in revolutionary France. She protested against the Constitution and the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen as they excluded women from basic rights that each human being was entitled to.

So, in 1791, she wrote a Declaration of Rights of Woman and Citizen, which she addressed to the Queen and to the members of the National Assembly, demanding that they act upon it. In 1793, Olympe de Gouges criticised the Jacobin government for forcibly closing down women’s clubs. She was tried by the National Convention, which charged her with treason. Soon after this, she was executed.

The French Revolution saw the rise of newspapers describing the events of each day and week. Collect information and pictures on any one event and write a newspaper article. You could also conduct an imaginary interview with important personages such as Mirabeau, Olympe de Gouges or Robespierre.
Answer:
An article in a newspaper at the end of Bastille: On the morning of 14th July 1789, the city of Paris was in a state of alarm. Rumours spread that king would soon order the army to open fire upon the  citizens. Some 7,000 men and women gathered in front of the town hall and decided to form a people’s militia. Finally, a group of several hundred people marched towards the fortress prison, the Bastille, where they hoped to find hoarded ammunition.

In the armed fight that followed, the Commander of the Bastille was killed and the prisoners were released, though there were only seven of them. The fortress was demolished and its stone fragments were sold in the market. The Bastille, which stood for the despotic rule of the king came to an end cowardly. It masked the end of feudalism and brought in a new era.

Robespierre: In the time of revolution, a democratic government may relay on terror.

Journalist: Sir, what do you mean by ‘Terror’?

Robespierre: Terror is nothing but justice. It is a swift, severe and inflexible policy which is used to meet the most urgent need of the fatherland.

JAC Class 9th History The French Revolution Textbook Questions and Answers 

Question 1.
Describe the circumstances leading to the outbreak of revolutionary protest in France.
Answer:
The following circumstances led to the outbreak of revolutionary protest in France:
1. Political Causes:
Emperor Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette, wasted’ money on their luxurious living and wasteful festivities. The high posts were often sold. The whole administration was corrupt and each department had its own laws. In the absence of any uniform system, there was confusion all around. The people were tired of such a rotten system of administration and wanted a change.

2. Social Causes :
The social conditions of France were as distressing as its political organisation. The clergy and the nobility led a luxurious life and enjoyed many privileges by birth, while the peasants and the labourers led a very hard life. They had to pay heavy taxes.

In addition to the direct taxes paid to the state, peasants had to pay taxes to the first and second estates also. They had often to be content with meals of boiled grass. It was an unfair situation which led to the growth of a feeling of discontent among the members of the Third Estate.

3. Econoir causes :
Long years of war had drained the financial resources of France, added to this was the cost of maintaining the extravagant court. To meet tht e expenses, the state was forced to increase taxes imposed on common people, At this time, there was a greater demand for food grains due to huge growth in population.

As a result, the price of bread rose. Due to rising prices and inadequate wages, most of the population could not even afford the basic means of livelihood. This led to a crisis of subsistence and an increase in the gap between the rich and the poor.

4. Influence of the Philosophers and Writers :
The middle class emerged educated and wealthy during the eighteenth century. The system of privileges as promoted by the feudal society was against their interest. Being educated, the members of this class had access to various ideas of equality and freedom proposed by the French and English political and social philosophers.

These ideas got popularised among the masses as a result of intensive discussions and debates in salons/halls and coffee-houses, and through books and newspapers. The ideas of philosophers played a great role. John Locke, Jean Jacques Rousseau and Montesquieu rejected the doctrine of divine kingship.

5. Immediate Cause:
On 5th May 1789, Louis XVI called together an assembly of the Estates General to pass proposals for new taxes. Voting in the Estates General in the past had been conducted according to the principle that each Estate had one vote. But this time, members of the third Estate demanded that voting now should be conducted by the assembly as a whole, where each member would have one vote. When the king rejected this proposal, members of the third Estate walked out of the assembly in protest, which was the spark of outbreak of the French revolution.

Question 2.
Which groups of French society benefitted from the revolution? Which groups were forced to relinquish power? Which sections of society would have been disappointed with the outcome of the revolution?
Answer:

1. All the groups of Third Estate were benefitted from the revolution. These groups included peasants, artisans, petty officers, lawyers, teachers, servants, merchants, doctors and traders.
2. The clergy and the nobility were forced to surrender power and all the privileges were taken away from them.
3. Feudal lords, nobles, clergy and women would have been disappointed with the outcome of the revolution.

Question 3.
Describe the legacy of the French Revolution for the people of the world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Answer:
The legacy of French Revolution for the people of the world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries can be described as given below :

1. The French Revolution put an end to the arbitrary rule and developed the idea of Republic in Europe and in other parts of the world.
2. It was the first national movement that adopted the ideals of “liberty, equality and fraternity”. These ideas became the basic doctrine of democracy for every nation in the 19th and 20th century.
3. It marked the end of feudalism and brought in a new era of industrial capitalism.
4. It initiated social and political changes that took place in different parts of Europe.
5. It gave the term ‘Nation’ its modern meaning and promoted the concept of ‘nationalist’ which inspired the people in Poland, Germany, Netherlands and Italy to establish Nation-states in the countries.
6. The greatest effect was the starting of mass movements all over the world and the rise of a spirit of nationalism among the people.

Question 4.
Draw up a list of democratic rights we enjoy today whose origins could be traced to the French Revolution.
Answer:
Some of the democratic rights which we enjoy today whose origins could be traced to the French revolution are given in the Indian constitution. They are :
1. Right to Equality:
The Right to Equality has its origin in the French Revolution. Which was its guiding principle. In the Indian constitution, Right to Equality means equality before the law, prohibition of discrimination on the basis of religion, descent, caste, gender or place of birth and end of titles and equality of opportunity in matters of employment.

2. Right to Liberty or Freedom:
The origin of this right can also be traced to the French Revolution. In the premble to the Indian Constitution, Right to Liberty or Freedom means ‘Freedom of Speech, expression, education, protection of the life and physical freedom, belief, faith and worship.

3. Encouraging the Spirit of Fraternity:
The French Revolution introduced the growth of the spirit of fraternity and social welfare. In the Indian constitution, the concept of ‘Fraternity’ abolishes untouchability and local or provincial anti-social feelings.

4. Inspiring the Spirit of Democracy:
The French Revolution inspired the spirit of democracy which ensured many rights, viz., right against exploitation, right to life, right to vote etc., which we are enjoying today.

Question 5.
Would you agree with the view that the message of universal rights was beset with contradictions? Explain.
Answer:
Yes, I agree with the view that the message of universal rights, was beset with contradictions. Many ideals in the “Declaration of Right of Man and Citizen’ were not clear in their meanings. I can say this on the basis of the following examples:

1. “The law has the right to forbid only actions injurious to society”. It did not mention about criminal offences against individuals.
2. The declaration stated that, “Law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to participate in its formation, personally or through their representatives. All citizens are equal before it.” Although, France became a constitutional monarchy, millions of citizens (men under the age of 25 including women) were still not allowed to vote at all.
3. Men who were above 25 years of age and who paid taxes equal to at least 3 days of a labourer’s wages, were given the status of active citizens, i.e., they had the right to vote. This was in striking contrast to the ideals that the revolution supported.
4. In the universal rights, nothing was mentioned about compulsory education for all.
5. It did not give the right to freedom of trade and occupation.

Question 6.
How would you explain the rise of Napoleon?
Answer:
The rise of Napoleon Bonaparte was an indirect result of the French Revolution. After the fall of the Jacobin government, a new constitution was introduced. It provided for two elected legislative councils, and a Directory, an executive made up of five members. However, the Directors often clashed with the legislative councils, who then sought to dismiss them. This clash was responsible for political instability. Napoleon took advantage of the situation and became a dictator with the help of the army.

In 1804, Napoleon declared himself the Emperor of France. He was a brilliant General and used his armies to conquer and dominate all the neighbouring countries except Britain and Russia. However, his successes were short-lived. Britain, Prussia, Austria and Russia jointly defeated him at Leipzig, and again at Waterloo in 1815. He was captured and sent as a prisoner to the island of St. Helena where he died in 1821.
