SECTION – I

1. An example for a function which is not a relation, (Domain – R, Co-domain – R) is:

(a) y = x

(b) y = x – 1

(c) y = x2

(d) not possible

Solution:

Correct answer: (d)

We know that every function is a relation but it is not necessary that every relation be a function.

Therefore, y = x, y = x – 1 and y = x2 are functions.

2. If a, b, c are in GP, then (a – b)/(b – c) is equal to:

(a) a/c

(b) a/b

(c) c/b

(d) b/a

Solution:

Correct answer: (c)

Given,

a, b, c are in GP.

b2 = ac

Now,

(a – b)/(b – c)

Multiply and divide by b,

(ab – b2)/ (b2 – bc)

= (ab – ac)/ (b2 – bc)

= [a(b – c)]/ [b(b – c)]

= a/b

3. The next term of the series √3, √12, √27,… is:

(a) √39

(b) √32

(c) √54

(d) √48

Solution:

Correct answer: (d)

Given,

√3,√12,√27,….

a = √3

d = √12 – √3

= 2√3 – √3

= √3

Next term of the given series is:

√27 + √3

= 3√3 + √3

= 4√3

= √48

4. What can be the degree of the remainder atmost, when a fourth degree polynomial is divided by a quadratic polynomial?

(a) 2

(b) 0

(c) 4

(d) 1

Solution:

Correct answer: (d)

We know that any polynomial of degree four is divided by the quadratic polynomial, then the degree of the remainder must be less than the degree of the quadratic polynomial.

Therefore, maximum possible degree of remainder = 1

5. The LCM of x3 – a3 and (x – a)2 is:

(a) (x – a)2(x2 + ax + a2)

(b) (x3 – a3)(x + a)

(c) (x + a)2(x2 + ax + a2)

(d) (x3 – a3)(x – a)2

Solution:

Correct answer: (a)

Given,

x3 – a3 and (x – a)2

(x3 – a3) = (x – a)(x2 + ax + a2)

Hence, the LCM is (x – a)2(x2 + ax + a2)

6.

7. Slope of the straight line which is perpendicular to the straight line joining the points (-2, 6) and (4, 8) is equal to:

(a) -3

(b) 1/3

(c) -1/3

(d) 3

Solution:

Correct answer: (a)

Let the given points be:

(x1, y1) = (-2, 6)

(x2, y2) = (4, 8)

Slope of the line joining the given points = m = (y2 – y1)/(x2 – x1)

= (8 – 6)/(4 + 2)

= 2/6

= â…“

Slope of the straight line which is perpendicular to the straight line joining the given points = -1/m

= -1/(â…“)

= -3

8. The centre of a circle is (-6, 4). If one end of the diameter of the circle is at (-12, 8), then the other end is at:

(a) (-3, 2)

(b) (-18, 12)

(c) (0, 0)

(d) (-9, 6)

Solution:

Correct answer: (c)

Given,

Centre = (-6, 4)

One end of the diameter = (-12, 8)

Let (x, y) be the other end of the diameter.

We know that, centre is the midpoint of diameter.

(-6, 4) = [(-12 + x)/2, (8 + y)/2]

-12 + x = -12; 8 + y = 8

x = 12 – 12; y = 8 – 8

x =0, y = 0

Hence, the required point is (0, 0).

9. The area of two similar triangles are 16 cm2 and 36 cm2 respectively. If the altitude of the first triangle is 3 cm, then the corresponding altitude of the other triangle is:

(a) 4 cm

(b) 6.5 cm

(c) 4.5 cm

(d) 6 cm

Solution:

Correct answer: (c)

Let x be the altitude of the second triangle.

We know that,

Area of first triangle/Area of second triangle = Square the altitude of first triangle/ Square the altitude of second triangle

16/36 = (3)2/x2

⇒ x2 = (9 × 36)/16

⇒ x2 = (9/2)2

⇒ x = 9/2

⇒ x = 4.5 cm

10. If a vertical stick of 12 m long casts a shadow of 8 m long on the ground and at the same time, a tower casts a shadow of 40 m long on the ground, then the height of the tower is:

(a) 75 m

(b) 40 m

(c) 60 m

(d) 50 m

Solution:

Correct answer: (c)

Given,

Height of the stick = 12 m

Length of the shadow of stick = 8 m

Let x be the height of the tower.

Length of the shadow of tower = 40 m

Thus,

12/8 = x/40

⇒ x = (12 × 40)/8

⇒ x = 60 m

11. (1 + cot2θ)(1 – cos θ)(1 + cos θ) =

(a) sec2θ – tan2θ

(b) tan2θ – sec2θ

(c) cos2θ – sin2θ

(d) sin2θ – cos2θ

Solution:

Correct answer: (a)

(1 + cot2θ)(1 – cos θ)(1 + cos θ)

= cosec2θ(1 – cos2θ)

= cosec2θ sin2θ

= (1/sin2θ) sin2θ

= 1

= sec2θ – tan2θ

12. If A is an acute angle of a ΔABC, right angles at B, then the value of sin A + cos A is:

(a) less than one

Solution:

Correct answer: (d)

Given,

A is an acute angle of a ΔABC, right angles at B.

TN class 10 maths 2018 solution 12

sin A + cos A = (BC/AC) + (AB + AC)

= (BC + AB)/AC

We know that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Here, BC + AB > AC

Thus, sin A + cos A > 1

13. Radius and height of a right circular cone and that of a right circular cylinder are respectively equal. If the volume of the cylinder is 120 cm3, then the volume of the cone is equal to:

(a) 40 cm3

(b) 1200 cm3

(c) 90 cm3

(d) 360 cm3

Solution:

Correct answer: (a)

Given,

Radius and height of the right circular cone and cylinder are equal.

⇒ Volume of cone = (1/3) × Volume of cylinder

= (1/3) × 120

= 40 cm3

Defective items = 6

Non-defective items = 20 – 6 = 14

P(non-defective item) = 14/20 = 7/10

SECTION – II

16. Verify A ⊂ B for the sets A = {a, b, c}, B = {1, {a, b, c}, 2}. If not justify your answer.

Solution:

A is not a subset of B.

Reason:

{a, b, c} is not an element in P(B)

P(B) = {{1}, {{a, b, c}}, {2}, {1, {a, b, c}}, {1, 2}, {{a, b, c}, 2}, {1, {a, b, c}, 2}, {}}

17. If A = {-2, -1, 1, 2} and f = {(x, 1/x) : x ∈ A}, write down the range of f. Is f a function from A to A?

Solution:

Given,

A = {-2, -1, 1, 2}

f = {(x, 1/x) : x ∈ A}

f = ((-2, -½), (-1, -1/1), (1, 1/1), (2, ½)}

Thus, range of f = {-½, -1, 1, ½}

-1/2, 1/2 do not belong to A.

Therefore, it is not a function from A to A.

18. Three numbers are in the ratio 2 : 5 : 7. If the first number, the resulting number on subtraction of 7 from the second number and the third number from an arithmetic sequence, then find the numbers.

According to the given,

2x, 5x – 7 and 7x are in AP.

2(5x – 7) = 2x + 7x

10x – 14 = 9x

10x – 9x = 14

x = 14

2x = 2(14) = 28

5x = 5(14) = 70

7x = 7(14) = 98

Therefore, the required numbers are 28, 70 and 98.

n(S) = 100

Let A be the event of getting a perfect cube number.

A = {1, 8, 27, 64}

n(A) = 4

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

= 4/100

= 1/25

Probability that the number selected is not a perfect cube = P(not A)

= 1 – P(A)

= 1 – (1/25)

= (25 – 1)/25

= 24/25

30. (a) Solve the equation x2 – (√3 + 1)x + √3 = 0 by completing the square method.

Solution:

Given,

x2 – (√3 + 1)x + √3 = 0

x2 – (√3 + 1)x = -√3

Adding [(√3 + 1)/2]2 on both sides,

x2 – 2[(√3 + 1)/]x + [(√3 + 1)/2]2 = -√3 + [(√3 + 1)/2]2

[x – (√3 + 1)/2]2 = [(√3 – 1)/2]2

Thus,

x – (√3 + 1)/2 = ± (√3 – 1)/2

x – (√3 + 1)/2 = (√3 – 1)/2; x – (√3 + 1)/2 = -(√3 – 1)/2

x = (√3 + 1 + √3 – 1)/2; x = (√3 + 1 – √3 + 1)/2

x = 2√3/2; x = 2/2

x = √3, 1

= (-7)2 + 2(-7) + 1

= 49 – 14 + 1

= 36

f(-3) = x + 5 = -3 + 5 = 2

f(-7) – f(-3) = 36 – 2 = 34

(b)

f(4) = x – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3

f(-6) = x2 + 2x + 1

= (-6)2 + 2(-6) + 1

= 36 – 12 + 1

= 25

f(1) = 1 + 5 = 6

[4f(-3) + 2f(4)]/ [f(-6) – 3f(1)] = [4 × 2 + 2 × 3]/ [25 – 3 × 6]

= (8 + 6)/(25 – 18)

33. Find the three consecutive terms in an AP whose sum is 18 and the sum of their squares is 140.

Solution:

Let a – d, a, a + d be the three terms of an AP.

According to the given,

Sum of the three terms = 18

a – d + a + a + d = 18

3a = 18

a = 18/3

a = 6

Sum of square of three terms = 140

(a – d)2 + a2 + (a + d)2 = 140

a2 + d2 – 2ad + a2 + a2 + d2 + 2ad = 140

3(6)2 + 2d2 = 140

2d2 = 140 – 108

d2 = 32/2

d2 = 16

d = ±4

If a = 6 and d = 4, then the three terms are 2, 6, 10

If a = 6 and s = -4, then the three terms are 10, 6, 2.

34. Solve 3(2x + y) = 7xy; 3(x + 3y) = 11xy using elimination method.

Solution:

Given,

3(2x + y) = 7xy

6x + 3y = 7xy ….(i)

3(x + 3y) = 11xy

3x + 9y = 11xy ….(ii)

(i) × – (ii),

18x + 9y – (3x + 9y) = 21xy – 11xy

15x = 10xy

⇒ y = 15/10

⇒ y = 3/2

Substituting y = 3/2 in (i),

6x + 3(3/2) + 7x(3/2)

6x + (9/2) = 21x/2

(12x + 9)/2 = 21x/2

12x + 9 = 21x

⇒ 21x – 12x = 9

⇒ 9x = 9

⇒ x = 1

Also, if x = 0, then y = 0

Hence, the solution of the given system of equations is (1, 3/2) and (0, 0).

Solution:

Let x and y be the two numbers, where x > y.

According to the given,

x2 – y2 = 45 ….(i)

y2 = 4x ….(ii)

From (i) and (ii),

x2 – 4x – 45 = 0

x2 – 9x + 5x – 45 = 0

x(x – 9) + 5(x – 9) = 0

(x – 9)(x + 5) = 0

x = 9, x = -5

x cannot be negative.

Therefore, x = 9

y2 = 4(9)

y2 = 36

y = 6

Hence, the required numbers are 9 and 6.

Using the midpoint formula,

[(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2] = (3, 4)

x1 + x2 = 6 …..(i)

y1 + y2 = 8 …..(ii)

Similarly,

x2 + x3 = 16 ….(iii)

y2 + y3 = 18 ….(iv)

And

x1 + x3 = 12 ….(v)

y1 + y3 = 14 …..(vi)

Adding (i), (iii) and (v),

2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 6 + 16 + 12

x1 + x2 + x3 = 34/2 = 17 …..(vii)

From (i), (iii), (v) and (vii),

x1 = 1, x2 = 5, x3 = 11

Adding (ii), (iv) and (vi),

2(y1 + y2 + y3) = 8 + 18 + 14

y1 + y2 + y3 = 40/2 = 20 …..(viii)

From (ii), (iv), (vi) and (viiii),

y1 = 2, y2 = 6, y3 = 12

Hence, the coordinates of the vertices are A(1, 2), B(5, 6) and C(11, 12).

40. A lotus is 20 cm above the water surface in a pond and its stem is partly below the water surface. As the wind blew, the stem was pushed aside so that the lotus touched the water 40 cm away from the original position of the stem. How much of the stem was below the water surface originally?

Solution:

Let B is the lotus at a height of 20cm from the surface of water.

TN class 10 maths 2018 solution 40

OC = OA + AB = (x + 20) cm

AC = 40 cm

In right triangle OAC,

By Pythagoras theorem,

OC2 = OA2 + AC2

(x + 20)2 = x2 + (40)2

x2 + 40x + 400 = x2 + 1600

40x = 1600 – 400

40x = 1200

x = 1200/40

x = 30 cm

Hence, the stem was 30 cm below the water surface originally.

41. The angle of elevation of the top of a building from the foot of the tower is 30° and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the building is 60°. If the tower is 50 m high, find the height of the building.

Solution:

Let AB be the building and CD be the tower.

TN class 10 maths 2018 solution 41

In triangle CDB,

tan 60° = CD/BD

√3 = 50/BD

⇒ BD = 50/√3 m

In triangle ABD,

tan 30° = AB/BD

1/√3 = AB/BD

⇒ BD = AB√3

⇒ 50/√3 = AB√3

⇒ AB = 50/3

⇒ AB = 16.67 m

Therefore, the height of the building is 16.67 m.

42. The sum of the base radius and the height of a right circular solid cylinder is 37 cm. If the total surface area of the cylinder is 1628 sq.cm, then find the volume of the cylinder.

Solution:

Let r be the base radius and h be the height of the right circular cylinder.

Given,

r + h = 37 cm

Total surface area = 1628 sq.cm

2Ï€r(r + h) = 1628

2 × (22/7) × r × 37 = 1628

r = (1628 × 7)/ (2 × 22 × 37)

r = 7 cm

Thus, h = 37 – r = 37 – 7 = 30 cm

Volume of the cylinder = πr2h

= (22/7) × 7 × 7 × 30

= 22 × 7 × 30

= 4620 cm3

43. For a collection of data, if ∑x = 35, n = 5, ∑(x – 9)2 = 82, then find ∑x2 and ∑(x – x bar)2.

Solution:

Given,

∑x = 35, n = 5, ∑(x – 9)2 = 82

x bar = ∑x/n = 35/5 = 7

∑(x – 9)2 = 82

∑(x2 – 18x + 81) = 82

∑x2 – 18∑x + 81∑1 = 82

∑x2 – 18(35) + 81(5) = 82

∑x2 – 630 + 405 = 82

∑x2 = 630 + 82 – 405

∑x2 = 307

Similarly,

∑(x – 9)2 = 82

∑(x – 7 – 2)2 = 82

∑[(x – 7) – 2]2 = 82

∑(x – 7)2 – 4∑(x – 7) + 4∑1 = 82

∑(x – x bar)2 – 4∑(x – x bar) + 4(5) = 82

∑(x – x bar)2 – 4(0) + 20 = 82

∑(x – x bar)2 = 82 – 20

∑(x – x bar)2 = 62

44. Two dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the probability that the sum of the numbers on the faces is neither divisible by 3 nor by 4.

Solution:

Total number of outcomes = n(S) = 36

Let A be the event that the sum of numbers on dice is divisible by 3.

A = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 4), (4, 2), (1, 5), (5, 1), (3, 3), (3, 6), (6, 3), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 6)}

n(A) = 12

P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 12/36

Let B be the event that the sum of numbers on dice is divisible by 4.

B = {(1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 6), (6, 2), (3, 5), (5, 3), (4, 4), (6, 6)}

n(B) = 9

P(B) = n(B)/n(S) = 9/36

A â‹‚ B = {(6, 6)}

n(A â‹‚ B) = 1

P(A â‹‚ B) = 1/36

P(A ⋃ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A â‹‚ B)

= (12/36) + (9/36) – (1/36)

= (12 + 9 – 1)/36

= 20/36

= 5/9

Probability that the sum of the numbers on the faces is neither divisible by 3 nor by 4 = 1 – P(A ⋃ B)

= 1 – (5/9)

= (9 – 5)/9

= 4/9

45. (a) The first term of a geometric series is 375 and the fourth term is 192. Find the common ratio and the sum of the first 14 terms.

Solution:

Given,

First term of GP = a = 375

Fourth term = t4 = arn – 1

ar3 = 192

r3 = 192/375

r3 = (4/5)3

r = 4/5

Sum of first n terms of GP

Sn = 1(1 – rn)/(1 – r)

Sum of the first 14 terms is

S14 = 375[1 – (4/5)14]/ [1 – (4/5)]

= 375 × 5 [1 – (4/5)14]

= 1875 [1 – (4/5)14]

OR

(b) Water in a cylindrical tank of diameter 4 m and height 10 m is released through a cylindrical pipe of diameter 10 cm at the rate of 2.5 km/hr. How much time will it take to empty half of the tank? (Assume that the tank is full of water to begin with)

Solution:

Given,

Diameter of tank = 4 m

Radius of the tank = R = 2 m

Height of the tank = H = 10 m

Diameter of pipe = 10 cm

Radius of pipe = r = 10/2 = 5 cm

r = 5/100 m = 1/20 m

Speed = 2.5 km/hr = 2500 m/hr

Let t be the time required to empty half of the tank.

Volume of water released through the pipe = 1/2(volume of tank)

πr2 × t × speed = (1/2)πR2H

(1/20)2 × t × 2500 = (1/2) × (2)2 × 10

t = (20 × 400)/2500

t = 3.2 hours = 3 hours 12 min

47. (a) Draw the graph of y = x2 + 3x + 2 and use it to solve the equation x2 + 2x + 4 = 0.

Solution:

Given,

y = x2 + 3x + 2

x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
x2 16 9 4 1 0 1 4 9
3x -12 -9 -6 -3 0 3 6 9
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
y 6 2 0 0 2 6 12 20

Now,

Subtracting x2 + 2x + 4 = 0 from y = x2 + 3x + 2

y – 0 = x2 + 3x + 2 – (x2 + 2x + 4)

y = x – 2

x -2 0 1 2
y -4 -2 -1 0
