intersecting each other at (20, 16) Product of two consecutive integers ^3q + 1h and
^3q + 2h is an even integer, say 2r .
Thus a ^a + 1h^a + 2h = 3q ^2r h
= 6qr , which is divisible by 6.

Let a = 3c where c is some integer, then we have +ADC + +DAO + +DCO + +AOC = 360c
a2 = 9c2 50c + 90c + 90c + +AOC = 360c
Substituting a2 = 9b2 we have 230c + +AOC = 360c
3b2 = 9c2 +AOC = 360c − 230c = 130c
b2 = 3c2 Now Reflex +AOC = 360c − 130c = 230c
Thus 3 is a factor of b2 and in result 3 is also a factor +APC = 1 reflex +AOC

Thus 3 is a common factor of a and b . But this
contradicts the fact that a and b are co-primes. Thus, +APC = 1 # 230c = 115c

37. In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle.
Determine +APC , if DA and DC are tangents and
+ADC = 50c. [4]

Co-ordinates of point B are ^0, 3h

Thus BC = 6 unit
Let the co-ordinates of point A be ^x, 0h
Now AB = x2 + 9

In TABC, if +ADE = +B, then prove that
TADE ~TABC. Also, if AD = 7.6 cm, AE = 7.2 cm, & y = 100 m
BE = 4.2 cm and BC = 8.4 cm, then find DE. Distance between two cars
AB = AD + DB = ^100 3 + 100h
