Since, 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean. So, a = 3 & b = 2.
Thus, (2b + 3a) = 4 + 9 = 13

Answer – A
As, the chord is at a distance of 18 cm (more than the radius). So, the chord
will be at a distance of 5 cm on the opposite side of the centre. Thus, length
of the chord CD will be 2v13

19. Answer – A
As, Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

21 (A). It can be observed that,
2 × 5 × 7 × 11 + 11 × 13 = 11 × (70 + 13) = 11 x 83
which is the product of two factors other than 1. Therefore, it is a composite

To prove that (v2 - v5) is an irrational number, we will use the contradiction
Method.
Let, if possible, v2 - v5 = ?? , where ?? is any rational number (Clearly ?? ? 0)
so , v2 = ?? + v5 ? 2 = (?? + v5 )

? 2 = ?? 2

(Note: v5 is an irrational number, as the square root of any prime number is
Always an irrational number)
In equation (1), LHS is a rational number while RHS is an irrational number
but an irrational number cannot be equal to a rational number.
So, our assumption is wrong.
Thus, (v2 - v5) is an irrational number.
