PART – A

Question 1: Find the value of 31 (1 / 6) * 31 (5 / 6) by using Ekaadhiken Purven Sutra.

Solution:

31 1/6 × 31 5/6

= 31 × 32 / (1 / 6) × (5 / 6)

= 992 / (5 / 36)

= 992 (5 / 36)

Question 2: Solve 1 / [x – 3] + 1 / [x – 7] = 1 / [x – 1] + 1 / [x – 9].

Solution:

1 / [x – 3] + 1 / [x – 7] = 1 / [x – 1] + 1 / [x – 9] [x – 7 + x – 3] / [x – 3] [x – 7] = [x – 9 + x – 1] / [x – 1] [x – 9] [2x – 10] / [x² – 10x + 21] = [2x – 10] / [x² – 10x + 9]

(2x – 10) (x² – 10x + 9) = (2x – 10) (x² – 10x + 21)

(2x – 10) (x² – 10x) + (2x – 10) 9 = (2x – 10) (x² – 10x) + (2x – 10) 21

18x – 90 = 42x – 210

24x = 120

x = 5

Question 3: Write the sum of powers of prime factors of 196.

Solution:

196 is a composite number.

Prime factorization: 196 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 7

196 = 2² × 7²

The sum of the exponents in the prime factorization is 2 + 2 = 4.

Question 4: Write the value of cos 50^o cosec 40^o.

Solution:

cos 50^o × cosec 40^o

= cos 50^o × cosec (90^o – 50^o)

= cos 50^o × sec 50^o

= cos 50^o × [1 / (cos 50^o)]

= 1

Question 5: If the ratio of the length of a vertical bar to its shadow is 1 : √3, then find the elevation angle of the sun.

Solution:

In triangle CAB,

tan ɑ = BA / CA

tan ɑ = h / h√3

tan ɑ = 1 / √3

ɑ = 30^o

The elevation angle of the sun is 30^o.

Question 6: Write the locus of the points equidistant from the two given points.

Solution:

The locus of points equidistant from two given points is the perpendicular bisector of the segment that joins the two points.

Question 7: Find the ratio between the chords which are equidistant from the centre of a circle.

Solution:

The chords are equidistant from the centre are equal.

Let the chords be AB, CD

Centre of the circle O.

Let the midpoints of chords be X, Y.

Now, OX = a, OY = b.

Also, AB = c, CD = d.

Given, OX = OY

So, a = b.

If a = b , AB = CD

That is c = d.

From the question,

AB / CD = c / d = c / c = d / d = 1

Therefore, the ratio of chords which are equidistant from the centre is 1.

Question 8: A dice is thrown once. Find the probability of getting an odd number.

Solution:

Total outcomes that can occur are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Number of possible outcomes of a dice = 6

Numbers which are odd = 1, 3, 5

Total numbers which are odd = 3

Probability of getting an odd number

= (Number of outcomes where there is an odd) ÷ (Total number of outcomes)

= 3 / 6

= 1 / 2​

Question 9: In a city, the fare of a taxi for the first kilometre is Rs. 5 and after that, it is Rs. 3. If the distance covered is x km and fare is Rs. y, then express it in the form of the equation.

Solution:

Total distance covered is x.

Fare for 1^st kilometer = Rs. 5

Fare for the rest of the distance = Rs. (x – 1) 3

Total fare = Rs. 5 + [x – 1]3

y = 5 + 3x – 3

y = 3x + 2

3x – y + 2 = 0

Hence, the value of the equation is 3x – y + 2 = 0.

Question 10: If the elevation angle of a camera situated at the top of a pole from a point 20 metre away from the base of the pole is 60^o, find the height of the pole.

Solution:

tan 60^o = AB / BC

√3 = H / 20

H = 20√3 m

PART – B

Question 11: Find the square root of 6889 by using Dwandwa Yoga Method.

Solution:

Simplify the expression,

Using the Dwandwa yoga method,

Step 1: First square root 8 and remainder = 68 – 64 = 4.

8 * 2 = 16

Step 2: New dividend 48 ÷ 16 = 3, remainder = 0.

Implement dividend 9 – 3² = 0.

Hence, the value is 83.

Question 12: If the product of two numbers is 525 and their H.C.F. is 5, then find their L.C.M.

Solution:

Simplify the expression,

HCF (A, B)* LCM(A, B) = Product of A and B.

5 * LCM = 525

LCM = 525 / 5

LCM = 105

Question 13: The total surface area of a cube is 216 square metre. Find the side of the cube.

Solution:

The total surface area of the cube is 216 cm².

The total surface area of the cube is 6a².

6a² = 216

=> a² = 216 / 6

=> a² = 36

=> a = 6

Therefore, the side of the given cube is 6cm.

Question 14: The radius of a semi-sphere is 7 cm, find the total surface area of it.

Solution:

The total surface area of a semi-sphere is 3𝛑r².

Radius r = 7cm

TSA = 3 * (22 / 7) * (7²)

= 3 * 22 * 7

= 462 cm²

Hence, the total surface area of the semi-sphere is 462cm².

Question 15: A CCTV camera is placed on the top of a 24 m high pole in such a way that traffic can be seen beyond 25 metres of the line of sight of it. Find the area of the Green patch around the pole.

Solution:

Using Pythagoras theorem,

25² = 24² + r²

r² = 25² – 24²

= 625 – 576

= 49

r = 7m

Area of the green patch around the pole = 𝛑r²

= (22 / 7) * (7²)

= 22 * 7

= 154m²

Question 16: By using the division algorithm method find quotient and remainder when polynomial P(x) = x⁴ – 3x² + 4x – 3 is divided by g(x) = x² + 1 – x.

Solution:

p(x) = g(x) * q(x) + r(x)

x⁴ – 3x² + 4x – 3 = [x² + 1 – x] [x² + x – 3] + 0

= x⁴ – 3x² + 4x – 3

Hence, x⁴ – 3x² + 4x – 3 and remainder 0.

Question 17: If the second and third terms of an Arithmetic Progression are 3 and 5 respectively, then find the sum of the first 20 terms of it.

Solution:

Simplify the A.P expression,

Second and third terms of an Arithmetic Progression are 3 and 5.

a = 3

d = 5 – 3 = 2

n = 20

d = a₂ – a₁

2 = 3 – a₁

2 – 3 = -a₁

-1 = -a₁

a₁ = 1

S_n = [n / 2] (2a + [n – 1]d)

= [20 / 2] [2 * 1 + [20 – 1] * 2]

= 10 [2 + 38]

= 400

S₂₀ = 400

Question 18: The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points at a distance of 9 m and 25 m from the base of the tower in the same straight line are complementary. Find the height of the tower.

Solution:

In the triangle ABP,

h / 9 = tan θ —- (1)

h / 9 = tan (90 – θ) = cot θ

In triangle ABQ,

h / 25 = tan θ —- (2)

Multiply equation (1) and (2),

h² = 9 * 25

h² = 225

h = 15m

The height of the tower is h = 15m.

Question 19: In the given figure if OP * OQ = OR * OS, then show that ∠OPS = ∠ORQ and ∠OQR = ∠OSP.

Solution:

In the triangle POS and ROQ,

OP / OS = OR / OQ

∠POS = ∠ROQ [vertically opposite angles]

So, POS and ROQ are congruent triangles by SAS and their corresponding angles are equal.

Therefore, ∠OPS = ∠ORQ and ∠OQR = ∠OSP.

Question 20: In a triangle ABC, the medians AD, BE and CF pass-through point G. If AD = 9 cm, GE = 4.2 cm and GC = 6 cm, then find the values of the lengths of AG, BE and FG.

Solution:

AG / GD = 2 / 1

GD / AG = 1 / 2

9 / AG = 3 / 2

AG = [9 * 2] / 3 = 6cm

BG / GE = 2 / 1

BE / GE = 3 / 1

BE = 3 * GE = 3 * 4.2 = 12.6cm

FG / GC = 1 / 2

FG = [1 / 2] GC

= [1 / 2] * 6

= 3cm

Question 21: In the given figure some angles are represented by x, y and z. Find the values of these angles.

Solution:

65 + x = 180^o

x = 180 – 65

x = 115^o

Since, ∠AFE = ∠CBE

91^o = x

x + z = 180^o

z = 180 – x

= 180 – 91

z = 89^o

Question 22: Draw two tangents PA and PB from an external point P to a circle of radius 4 cm, where the angle between PA and PB is 65^o.

Solution:

Question 23: The radius of a circular park is 4.2 m. A path of 1.4 m width is made around the circular park. Find the area of the path.

Solution:

Radius (R) of circular park = 4.2 m

Area of the circular park = πr²

= [22 / 7] * 4.2 * 4.2

= 55.44 m²

Width (r) of the circular path = 1.4 m

Area of the circular park including the circular path = π(R + r)² sq.m

= [22 / 7] * (4.2 + 1.4)²

= [22 / 7] * 5.6 * 5.6

= 98.56 m²

Area of Path = Area of the park incl. path – Area of the path

= 98.56 – 55.44

= 43.12 m²

Question 24: The length and diameter of a roller are 2.5 m and 1.4 m, respectively. How much area will be planned by roller in 10 revolutions?

Solution:

Diameter of the roller = 1.4 m

Radius of the roller = 0.7m

Length of the roller = 2.5 m

Area covered by the roller in 1 revolution = Curved surface area of the roller

= 2πrh

= 2 × [22 / 7] × 0.7 × 2.5

= 11 m²

Area covered by the roller in 10 revolutions = 11 × 10 = 110 m².

Question 25: In a bag one white ball, two black balls and three red balls of the same size are placed.

A ball is drawn at random from this bag. Find the probability:

(i) the ball is white

(ii) the ball is not black

(iii) the ball is red

Solution:

Total number of all possible outcomes = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

(i) Number of white ball = 1

P (getting a white ball) = 1 / 6

(ii) Number of balls that are not black = 1 + 3 = 4

P (not drawing a black ball) = 4 / 6 = 2 / 3

(iii) Number of red balls = 3

P (drawing a red ball) = 3 / 6 = 1 / 2

Question 26: Solve the following pair of linear equations by graphical method:

2x + y = 6, 2x – y = 2. Thus find the value of p in the relation 6x + 7y = p.

Solution:

2x + y = 6 —- (1)

2x – y = 2 —- (2)

4x = 8

x = 2

Put x = 1 in (1),

2 * 2 + y = 6

y = 6 – 4

y = 2

In 6x + 7y = p

6 * 2 + 7 * 2

= 12 + 14

= 26

Question 27: Prove that:

[i] √[1 + cos θ] / [1 – cos θ] = cosec θ + cot θ

[ii] tan θ / [1 – cot θ] + cot θ / [1 – tan θ] = 1 + tan θ + cot θ

OR

[i] If sin θ + cos θ = p and sec θ + cosec θ = q, then prove that q(p² – 1) = 2p.

[ii] Prove that:

cos A / [1 – tan A] + sin A / [1 – cot A] = sin A + cos A

Solution:

LHS = tanθ / (1 – cotθ) + cotθ / (1 – tanθ)

= tanθ / (1 – 1 / tanθ) + (1 / tanθ) / (1 – tanθ)

= tan²θ / (tanθ – 1) + 1 / tanθ (1 – tanθ)

= tan³θ / (tanθ – 1) – 1 / tanθ (tanθ – 1)

= (tan³θ – 1) / tanθ (tanθ – 1)

= (tanθ – 1)(tan²θ + 1 + tanθ) / tanθ (tanθ – 1)

= (tan²θ + 1 + tanθ) / tanθ

= tanθ + cotθ + 1

OR

Consider, sec θ + cosec θ = q

⇒ [(1 / sinθ) + (1 / cosθ)] = q

⇒ [(sinθ + cosθ) / sinθ cosθ] = q

⇒ [p / sinθ cosθ] = q

⇒ sinθ cosθ = p / q → (1)

Consider, sinθ + cosθ = p

Squaring on both the sides we get

(sinθ + cosθ)² = p²

⇒ sin²θ + cos²θ + 2 sinθ cosθ = p²

⇒ 1 + 2 (p / q) = p² [From (1)]

⇒ (q + 2p) / q = p²

⇒ (q + 2p) = p²q

⇒ 2p = p²q – q

⇒ 2p = q(p² – 1)

cos A / (1 – tan A) + sin A /(1 – cot A) = sin A + cos A

LHS = cos A / (1 – tan A) + sin A /(1 – cot A)

= cos A / (cos A – sin A) + sin A / (sin A – cos A)

= cos A / (cos A – sin A) – sin A / (cos A – sin A)

= (cos A – sin A) / (cos A – sin A)

= (cos A + sin A) (cos A – sin A) / (cos A – sin A)

= (cos A + sin A)

Question 28:

[i] If the distance between points (x, 3) and (5, 7) is 5, then find the value of x.

[ii] Find the ratio in which the line 3x + y = 9 divides the line segment joining the points (1, 3) and (2, 7).

Solution:

(x₂, y₂) = (5, 7)

d = √(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²

5 = √(5 – x)² + (7 – 3)²

d = 5

On squaring of both sides,

25 = (5 – x)² + 16

25 – 16 = (5 – x)²

9 = (5 – x)²

(5 – x) = ± 3

If x = 3,

5 – x = 3

5 – 3 = x

x = 2

If x = -3,

5 – (-3) = 3

x = 8

x = 2, 8

(2k + 1 / k + 1, 7k + 3 / k + 1) = (x, y)

It must satisfy the given equation so

3(2k + 1 / k + 1) + (7k + 3 / k + 1) = 9

6k + 3 + 7k + 3 / k + 1 = 9

13k + 6 = 9k + 9

13k – 9k = 9 – 6

4k = 3

k = 3 / 4

Hence, the ratio is 3:4.

Question 29: [i] ABC is a right-angled triangle whose angle B is a right angle. If points D and E are situated on the sides AB and BC, respectively, then prove that AE² + CD² = AC² + DE².

OR

[ii] If two sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are parallel, then prove that other sides are equal and its diagonals are also equal to each other.

Solution:

ΔABE is a right triangle, right-angled at B

AB² + BE² = AE²……………..(1) (by the Pythagoras theorem)

ΔDBC is a right triangle, right-angled at B

DB² + BC² = CD²…………….(2) (by the Pythagoras theorem)

Adding equations 1 & 2

AE² + CD² = (AB² + BE²) + (BD² + BC²)

AE² + CD² = (AB² + BC²) + (BE² + BD²)……(3) [Rearranging the terms]

ΔABC is a right triangle,

AB² + BC² = AC²…………….(4) (by the Pythagoras theorem)

ΔDBE is a right triangle

DB² + BE² = DE²………………(5) (by the Pythagoras theorem)

AE² + CD² = (AB² + BC²) + (BE² + BD²)

AE² + CD² = AC² + DE²

OR

AB || DC ⇒ ∠DCA = ∠CAB [alternate angles]

Now, chord AD subtends ∠DCA and chord BC subtends ∠CAB at the circumference of the circle.

∠DCA = ∠CAB [proved]

Chord AD = Chord BC or AD = BC

Now in triangle ABC and ADB,

AB = AB [common]

∠ACB = ∠ADB [angles in the same segment]

BC = AD [proved]

By SAS criterion of congruence,

△ACB ⩭ △ADB [SAS postulate]

The corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent.

AC = BD

Question 30: Find the mean and mode of the following frequency distribution:

Solution:

Mean = 4460 / 100

= 44.6

Hence, the mean is 44.6.

As the lifetime (in hours) 40 – 50 has a maximum frequency, so it is the modal lifetime in hours.

x_k = 40, h = 10, f_k = 42, f_k-1 = 28, f_k+1 = 20

= 40 + [10 * [42 – 28] / [2 * 42 – 28 – 20]]

= 40 + [3.89]

= 43.89

Hence, the mode is 43.89.
