2. (b) coprime
Explanation:
We know that the co-prime numbers have no factor in common, or, their HCF is 1.
Thus, p2 and q2 have the same factor with exponent 2 each. which again will not have any common factor.
Thus we can conclude that p2 and q2 are co-prime numbers.
Given: (x + 1)2 - x2 = 0
⇒ x2 + 1 + 2x - x2 = 0
⇒ 2x + 1 = 0
–1
⇒ x= 2
Therefore, (x + 1)2 - x2 = 0 is a linear polynomial and has one real root.

18. (b) 60 - 80
Explanation:
19. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
We know that the mid-point of the line segment joining the points
( ) (
P x 1, y 1 and Q x 2, y 2 is ) ( x1 + x2 y1 + y2
2 , 2 )
So, the Reason is correct.
Given, the points A(4, 3) and B(x, 5) lie on a circle with center O(2, 3).
Then OA = OB ⇒ (OA)2 = (OB)2
⇒ (4−2)2 + (3 − 3)2 = (x − 2)2 + (5 − 3)2
⇒ (2)2+(0)2 = (x−2)2 + (2)2 ⇒ 4 = (x−2)2 + 4 ⇒ (x−2)2 = 0
⇒ x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
So Assertion is correct.
The correct option is Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
