QUESTION PAPER CODE 16E(A)

SECTION – I

(4 * 1 = 4)

Question 1: Find the coordinates of the point, which divides the line segments joining (2, 0) and (0,2) in the ratio 1:1

Solution:

= (1 * 0) + (1 * 2) / [1 + 1], (1 * 2) + (1 * 0) / [1 + 1]

= 2 / 2, 2 / 2

= 1, 1

Question 2: ‘O’ is the centre of a circle. PQ is a tangent to the circle at Q from the external point P. If the radius of the circle is 9 cm and PQ = 12 cm, find the distance of P from O.

In ∆ PQO,

PO² = PQ² + OQ²

= 9² + 12²

= 81 +144

PO = √225

PO = 15cm

Question 3: Find the value of x, if 2sinx = √3.

Solution:

2sinx = √3

sinx = √3 / 2

sinx = 60^o

x = 60^o

Question 4: You are writing a test of 40 objective type questions. Each question carries 1 mark. What is the probability of marks you may get to be in multiples of 5?

Solution:

Event = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40}

n(A) = 40

P(E) = 8 / 40

= 1 / 5

SECTION – II

(5 * 2 = 10)

Question 5: Find the value of k, for which the points (7, 2), (5, 1) and (3, k) are collinear.

Solution:

(1 / 2) (x₁ [y₂ – y₃] + x₂ [y₃ – y₁] + x₃ [y₁ – y₂]) = 0

(1 / 2) ({7 (1 – k) + 5 (k – 2) + 3 (2 – 1)} = 0

7 – 7k + 5k – 10 + 3 = 0

– 2k = 0

k = 0

Question 6: Find the angle B, if tan (A – B) = 1 / √3 and sin A = √3 / 2. Also find cos B.

Solution:

sinA = √3 / 2

=> sin A = sin 60

=> ∠A = 60°

So, cos A = cos 60° = 1 / 2

tan (A – B) = 1 / √3

=> tan(60 – B) = tan30

=> 60 – B = 30

=> ∠B = 30

So, cos B = cos 30 = √3 / 2

Question 7: Give two different examples of a pair of

(i) Similar figures

(ii) Non-similar figures

Solution:

(i) Two triangles

(ii) A square and A triangle

Question 8: There are 5 cards in a box with numbers 1 to 5 written on them. If 2 cards are picked out from the box, write all the possible outcomes and find the probability of getting both even numbers.

Solution:

Sample space = n(s) = {(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) (1, 5) (2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3) (3, 4) (3, 5) (4, 1) (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) (4, 5) (5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) (5, 4) (5, 5)}

Event = {(2, 2) (2, 4) (4, 2) (4, 4)}

P(E) = 4 / 25

Question 9: A tower is 100√3 m high. Find the angle of elevation of its top when observed from a point 100m away from the food of the tower.

Solution:

tan θ = 100√3 / 100

= √3

θ = 60^o

SECTION – III

(4 * 4 = 16)

Question 10:

(a) A wire of length 18 cm had been tied to an electric pole at an angle of elevation 30 with the ground. As it is covering a long distance, it was cut and tied to the pole at an angle of 60 with the ground. Now, find how much length of the wire was cut?

OR

(b) Consider the following distribution of daily wages of 50 workers of a factory.

Find the mean daily wages of the workers by choosing an appropriate method.

Solution:

(a) First, sinA = perpendicular / hypotenuse

sin 30 = 1 / 2

H = 18 m

P / H = 1 / 2

P = H / 2

= 9 m

In the second case, the length of the pole P = 9 m will be the same.

sin 60 = √3 / 2 = P / H

To find H.

H = (9 x 2) / √3

= 18 / √3

= (18 x √3) / 3

= 6 x √3

= 6 x 1.72

= 10.32

The new length = 10.32m

The decrease in length = 18 – 10.32 m = 7.68 m

(b)

Mean = ∑a_i x_i / ∑x_i = 15650 / 50 = 313

Question 11:

[a] Prove that (sin θ – cosec θ)² + (cos θ – sec θ)² = cot² θ + tan² θ – 1

OR

[b] Check whether the points (3, 0), (6, 4) and (-1, 3) are the vertices of a right-angle isosceles triangle or not. Also, find the area of the triangle.

Solution:

= (sin θ – 1 / sin θ)² + (cos θ – 1 / cos θ)²

= sin² θ + 1 / sin² θ – 2 + cos² θ + 1 / cos² θ – 2

sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

= 1 – 2 – 2 + 1 / sin² θ + 1 / cos² θ

= cosec² θ + sec² θ – 3

cosec²θ = 1 + cot² θ, sec² θ = 1 + tan² θ

= 1 + cot² θ + 1 + tan² θ – 3

= cot² θ + tan² θ – 1

= RHS

Using the distance formula for two points A (x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂)

AB = √(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²

AB = √(6 – 3)² + (4 – 0)²

= √(9) + (16)

= √25

= 5 units

BC = √(-1 – 6)² + (3 – 4)²

= √(49) + (1)

= √50

AC = √(-1 – 3)² + (3 – 0)²

= √(16) + (9)

= √25

= 5 units

AB = AC [they are isosceles]

AB > BC = AC

Therefore, if ABC is a right-angled triangle, AB should be the hypotenuse, BC and AC should be the other two sides. (i.e. perpendicular and base)

Question 12:

(a) A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre. Find the area of the corresponding:

(i) Minor segment.

(ii) Major segment

OR

(b) From a deck of 52 playing cards, King, Ace and 10 of clubs were removed and the remaining cards were well shuffled. If a card is drawn at random from the remaining, find the probability of getting a card of

(i) Club

(ii) Ace

(iii) Diamond King

(iv) Club 5

Solution:

(a) Radius r = 10cm

Angle = 90^o

Area of sector A = 90 / 360𝛑r²

A = 3.14 x 10 x 10 / 4

A = 25 x 3.14

A = 78.5 sq.cm

Let the angle subtended and radius form an arc AOB, then

Area of AOB = r x r sin90 / 2

AOB = 10 x 10 x 1 / 2

Area of AOB = 50 sq.cm

Area of minor segment = 78.5 – 50 = 28.5 q.cm

Area of circle = 𝛑r²

= 3.14 x 10 x 10

= 314 Sq.cm

Area of major segment = area of circle – area of minor segment

= 314 – 28.5

= 285.5 sq.cm

=> Club remained = 13 – 3 = 10

Total cards remaining = 52 – 3 = 49

Ace remaining = 4 – 1 = 3

Probability of club = 10/49

Probability of Ace = 3/49

Probability of Diamond king = 1/49

Probability of Club 5 = 1/49

Question 13:

(a) Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take a point ‘P’ at a distance of 5 cm from the centre of the circle. From P, draw 2 tangents to the circle.

(or)

(b) Draw “greater than Ogive curve” for the following data.

Solution:

(a) Steps of construction :

1. Take a point O as the center and with radius 3 cm, draw a circle.

2. Mark a point P outside the circle such that OP = 5 cm. Join O to P.

3. Draw a perpendicular bisector of the OP that cuts OP at M.

4. With M as a centre and radius MO (or MP), draw a circle cutting the first circle at A and B.

5. Join P to A and P to B

Then PA and PB are the required two tangents

The length of the tangent is PA = PB = 4 cm.

(b)
