PART A

SECTION – I

1. Prathyusha stated that “the average of the first 10 odd numbers is also 10”. Do you agree with her? Justify your answer.

Solution:

The first 10 odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

Average = (1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19)/10

= 100/10

= 10

Therefore, the average of the first 10 odd numbers is also 10.

Hence, I agree with Prathyusha.

2. Write the formula to find the median of a grouped data and explain the alphabet in it.

Solution:

Median = l + {[(n/2) – cf]/ f} × h

Here,

l = Lower limit of the median class

n = Sum of frequencies

cf = Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class

f = Frequency of the median class

h = Class height

3. The length of the tangent to a circle from a point 17 cm from its centre is 8 cm. Find the radius of the circle.

Solution:

Given,

Length of the tangent = AP = 8 cm

We know that the radius perpendicular to the tangent through the point of contact.

In right triangle OAP,

OP² = OA² + AP²

OA² = OP² – AP²

= (17)² – (8)²

= 289 – 64

= 225

OA = 15

Hence, the radius of the circle is 15 cm.

4. Find the value of tan 2A, if cos 3A = sin 45°.

Solution:

Given,

cos 3A = sin 45°

cos 3A = sin (90° – 45°)

cos 3A = cos 45°

⇒ 3A = 45°

⇒ A = 45°/3

⇒ A = 15°

tan 2A = tan 2(15°)

= tan 30°

= 1/√3

5. Srivani walks 12 m due East and turns left and walks another 5 m, how far is she from the place she started?

Solution:

Given information can be put diagrammatically as below.

In right triangle ABC,

AC² = AB² + BC²

= (12)² + (5)²

= 144 + 25

= 169

AC = 13 cm

Hence, Srivani is 13 cm away from the starting point.

6. A pole and its shadow have the same length, find the angle of the Sun ray made with the earth at that time.

Solution:

Let AB be the pole and BC be its shadow.

Θ be the angle of elevation made by the Sun.

In right triangle ABC,

tan θ = AB/AC

tan θ = 1 (given that AB = AC)

tan θ = tan 45°

θ = 45°

Hence, the angle of the Sun ray made with the earth is 45°.

7. What is the probability of getting exactly two heads, when three coins tossed simultaneously?

Solution:

Total number of outcomes = 2³ = 8

Favourable outcomes of getting exactly two heads = {HHT, HTH, THH} = 3

P(getting exactly two heads) = ⅜

SECTION – II

8. Find measure of the angles A and B, is cos (A – B) = √3/2 and sin (A + B) = √3/2.

Solution:

Given,

cos (A – B) = √3/2

cos (A – B) = cos 30°

A – B = 30°….(i)

And

sin (A + B) = √3/2

sin (A + B) = sin 60°

A + B = 60°….(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii),

A – B + A + B = 30° + 60°

2A = 90°

A = 90°/2

A = 45°

Substituting A = 45° in (ii),

45° + B = 60°

B = 60° – 45°

B = 15°

9. What is the probability that a number picked from the first twenty natural numbers is even composite number?

Solution:

Total number of outcomes = 20

i.e. first twenty natural numbers: 1, 2, 3,…, 30

Even composite numbers are: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.

Number of favourable outcomes = 9

Hence, the required probability = 9/20

10. From the top of a tower of h m height, Anusha observes the angles of depression of two points X and Y on the same side of tower on the ground to be α and β. Draw the suitable figure for the given information.

Solution:

11. Find the median of 2/3, 4/5, 1/2, 3/4, 6/5.

Solution:

Given,

2/3, 4/5, 1/2, 3/4, 6/5

LCM of denominators = 60

Thus,

(2/3) × (20/20) = 40/60

(4/5) × (12/12) = 48/60

(1/2) × (30/30) = 30/60

(3/4) × (15/15) = 45/60

(6/5) × (12/12) = 72/60

The ascending order of the given fractions is:

30/60, 40/60, 45/60, 48/60, 72/60

Middlemost fraction is 45/60.

Hence, the median is 3/4.

12. The height and the base radius of a cone and a cylinder are equal to the radius of a sphere. Find the ratio of their volumes.

Solution:

Let r be the radius and h be the height of a cone and cylinder.

Also, r be the radius of the sphere.

According to the given,

r = h

Volume of cone : Volume of cylinder : Volume of sphere

= (⅓)πr²h : πr²h : (4/3)πr³

= (⅓)r³ : r³ : (4/3)r³ [since r = h]

= 1 : 3 : 4

13. In ΔABC, PQ || BC and AP = 3x – 19, PB = x – 5, AQ = x – 3, QC = 3 cm. Find x.

Solution:

Given,

PQ || BC

By BPT,

(3x – 19)/ (x – 5) = (x – 3)/3

3(3x – 19) = (x – 3)(x – 5)

9x – 57 = x² – 5x – 3x + 15

x² – 8x + 15 – 9x + 57 = 0

x² – 17x + 72 = 0

x² – 8x – 9x + 72 = 0

x(x – 8) – 9(x – 8) = 0

(x – 9)(x – 8) = 0

x – 9 = 0, x – 8 = 0

x = 9, x = 8

SECTION – III

14. How many silver coins of diameter 5 cm and thickness 4 mm have to be melted to prepare a cuboid of 12 cm × 11 cm × 5 cm dimension?

Solution:

Given,

Dimensions of the cuboid are 12 cm × 11 cm × 5 cm.

Diameter of coin = 5 cm

Radius = r = 5/2 = 2.5 cm

Thickness of the coin = h = 4 mm = 0.4 cm

Number of silver coins = Volume of cuboid/ Volume of one coin

= (12 cm × 11 cm × 5 cm)/ πr²h

= (12 × 11 × 5)/ [(22/7) × 2.5 × 2.5 × 0.4)]

= 4620/ 55

= 84

Hence, 84 coins are required to be melted to form a cuboid.

OR

Income of the families in a locality are given. Find the mode of the data.

Solution:

Given class intervals are discontinuous, hence let us convert them into continuous classes as shown below.

Highest frequency = 16

Thus, modal class is 400.5 – 600.5

Lower limit of modal class = l = 400.5

Frequency of the class preceding the modal class = f₀ = 10

Frequency of the modal class = f₁ = 16

Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class = f₂ = 12

Class height = h = 200

Mode = l + [(f₁ – f₀)/ (2f₁ – f₀ – f₂)] × h

= 400.5 + [(16 – 10)/ (2 × 16 – 10 – 12)] × 200

= 400.5 + [6/(32 – 22)] × 200

= 400.5 + (6/10) × 200

= 400.5 + 120

= 520.5

15. Prove that:

Solution:

Hence proved.

OR

Show that:

(sec θ – tan θ)² = (1 – sin θ)/ (1 + sin θ)

Solution:

(sec θ – tan θ)²

= [(1/cos θ) – (sin θ/cos θ)]²

= [(1 – sin θ)/cos θ]²

= (1 – sin θ)²/ cos²θ

= (1 – sin θ)²/ (1 – sin²θ)

= [(1 – sin θ)(1 – sin θ)]/ [(1 – sin θ)(1 + sin θ)]

= (1 – sin θ)/ (1 + sin θ)

16. From the top of a tower of 50 m high, Neha observes the angles of depression of the top and foot of another building to be 45° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the building.

Solution:

Let AB be the tower and CD be the building.

In right triangle ABD,

tan 60° = AB/BD

√3 = 50/BD

BD = 50/√3 m

In right triangle AEC,

tan 45° = AE/EC

1 = AE/BD

BD = AE = 50/√3 m

AB = AE + BE

50 = (50/√3) + BE

BE = 50 – (50/√3)

= (50√3 – 50)/√3

= 50(√3 – 1)/√3

Hence, the height of the building = 50(√3 – 1)/√3 m

OR

From the deck of 52 cards, if a card is randomly chosen, find the probability of getting a card with

(i) a prime number on it

(ii) face on it

Solution:

Total number of outcomes = n(S) = 52

(i) Let A be the event of getting a prime number on the card.

Number of outcomes favourable to A = n(A) = 16

i.e. 2, 3, 5, 7 (4 times)

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

= 16/52

= 4/13

(ii) Let B be the event of getting a face card.

Number of outcomes favourable to B = n(B) = 12

i.e. king, queen, jack (4 times)

P(B) = n(B)/n(S)

= 12/52

= 3/13

17. Construct an equilateral triangle XYZ of side 5 cm and construct another triangle similar to ΔXYZ, such that each of its sides is 4/5 of the sides of ΔXYZ.

Solution:

Hence, ΔX’YZ’ is the required triangle similar to the ΔXYZ.

OR
