ICSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2018 With Solution

Question 1:

(a) Find the value of ‘x’ and ‘y’ if:

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2018 Solution-1

(b) Sonia had a recurring deposit account in a bank and deposited ₹600 per month for 2 years and 6 months. If the rate of interest was 10% p.a., find the maturity value of this account.

(c) Cards bearing numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 are kept in a bag. A card is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability of getting a card which is:

(i) a prime number.

(ii) a number divisible by 4.

(iii) a number that is a multiple of 6.

(iv) an odd number.

Answer:

(a)

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2018 Solution-2

(b) Qualifying Sum = 600 × 30 × (30+1) / 2

Interest = 600 x 30 x 31 x 10 / 2 x 12 x 100 = ₹2325

𝑀.𝑉 = 600 x 30 + 2325 = ₹20325

(c) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

Total number of cards are 10

(i) Probability of getting a prime number is 1/10

(ii) Probability of getting a number divisible by 4:

Numbers are 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20

∴ Probability = 5/10 = ½

(iii) Multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18.

∴ Probability = 3/10

(iv) No cards bear an odd number.

∴ Probability = 0/10 = 0

Question 2:

(a) The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. Find the

(i) radius of the cylinder

(ii) volume of cylinder. (use π = 22/7 )

(b) If (k –3), (2k + 1) and (4k + 3) are three consecutive terms of an A.P., find the value of k.

(c) PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral. Given ∠QPS =73o, ∠PQS = 55o and ∠PSR = 82o, calculate:

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2018 Solution-3

(i) ∠QRS

(ii) ∠RQS

(iii) ∠PRQ

Answer:

(a) 2𝜋𝑟 = 132

𝑟= 21cm

𝑉 = 𝜋 𝑟2ℎ = 22 x 21 x 21 x 25 / 7 = 34650 cm3

(b) (𝑘 − 3), (2𝑘 + 1), (4𝑘 + 3)

𝑘 − 3, 2𝑘 + 1, 4𝑘 + 3 in AP implies

(2𝑘 + 1) − (𝑘 − 3) = (4𝑘 + 3) − (2𝑘 + 1)

∴ 2𝑘 + 1 − 𝑘 + 3 = 4𝑘 + 3 − 2𝑘 − 1

𝑘 + 4 = 2𝑘 + 2

∴ 2𝑘 − 𝑘 = 4 − 2 or 𝑘 = 2

(c)

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2018 Solution-4

(i) ∠QRS = 180o – 73o = 107o

(ii) ∠RQS = 180 – (82o + 55o)

= 180 – 137

= 43o

(iii) ∠PSQ = 180o – (73o + 55o)

= 52o

∴∠PRQ = ∠PSQ = 52o

Question 3:

(a) If (𝑥 + 2) and (𝑥 + 3) are factors of 𝑥3 + 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏, find the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’.

Question 7:

(a) Find the value of k for which the following equation has equal roots.

𝑥2 + 4𝑘 + (𝑘2 − 𝑘 + 2) = 0

(b) On a map drawn to a scale of 1:50,000, a rectangular plot of land ABCD has the following dimensions. AB = 6 cm; BC = 8 cm and all angles are right angles.

Find:

(i) the actual length of the diagonal distance AC of the plot in km.

(ii) the actual area of the plot in square km.

(c) A (2, 5), B (–1, 2) and C (5, 8) are the vertices of a triangle ABC, ‘M’ is a point on AB such that AM: MB = 1: 2. Find the co-ordinates of ‘M’. Hence find the equation of the line passing through the points C and M.

Answer:

(a) Given equation is x2 + 4kx + (k2 – k + 2) = 0

For equal roots discriminant = 0

∴ (4k)2 – 4(k2 – k + 2) = 0

16k2 – 4k2 + 4k – 8 = 0

12k2 + 4k – 8 = 0

3k2 + k – 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k2 + 3k – 2k = 0

3k(k + 1)(3k – 2) = 0

∴ k = –1, k = 2/3

(i) Construct a circum-circle of ΔABC

(ii) Construct a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, such that D is equidistant from AB and BC.

Answer:

∴ each one gets 7500/𝑥

When 20 children less, each would get 7500/(𝑥−20)

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2018 Solution-20

⇒ 𝑥2 − 20𝑥 − 1500 = 0

⇒ (𝑥 − 50)(𝑥 + 30) = 0

(c) The angle of elevation from a point P of the top of a tower QR, 50 m high is 60o and that of the tower PT from a point Q is 30o. Find the height of the tower PT, correct to the nearest metre.

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2018 Solution-29

Answer:

(a)

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2018 Solution-30

(b) ∵ OP = OQ (radii of circle)

And OP = QR (given )

∴ OP = OQ = QR

In ΔOQR, OQ = QR

∴ ∠ORQ = ∠ROQ = 200

ext. ∠OQP = 200 + 200 = 400 (exterior angle = sum of 2 interior opposite angles)

In ΔOPQ, OP = OQ (radii)

∴ ∠OPQ = ∠OQP = 400

In ΔOPQ, ext ∠POT = ∠OPR + ∠ORP = 400+ 200 = 600
