Question 2: Fill up the blanks (any five) : [1 x 5 = 5]

(i) A person deposited Rs. 100 in a bank and gets the amount Rs. 121 after two years. The rate of compound interest is _______ %. [Answer: 10%]

P = 100, A = 121, T = 2 years, R = 9

A = P [1 + R / 100]n

121 = 100 [1 + R / 100]2

[11 / 10]2 = [1 + R / 100]2

R = 10%

(vi) Value of the median of data 2, 3, 9, 10, 9, 3, 9 is 10. [Answer: False]

Question 4: Answer the following questions (any ten) : [2 x 10 = 20]

(i) Find the capital which gives Re. 1 as interest per month at 5% rate of

interest per annum.

Solution:

SI = Re.1

R = 5%

T = 1 month = 1 / 12 years

P = ?

SI = PTR / 100

1 = P * (1 / 12) * 5 / 100

100 = P (5 / 12)

P = Rs.240

(ii) In a partnership business, the ratio of capitals of three men is 3:5:8. The share of profit of the first member is Rs. 60 less than that of the third member, then what is the total profit in the business?

Solution:

The profit will be shared among the partners in their capital ratio.

Let the total profit be X.

1st person profit will be 3X.

2nd person profit will be 5X.

3rd person profit will be 8X.

3X = 8X – 60

60 = 5X

X = 60 / 5

X = 12

Total profit = 3X + 5X + 8X = 16X

Rs. 16 * 12 = Rs. 192 is the total profit.

(iii) If a / 2 = b / 3 = c / 4 = [2a – 3b + 4c] / p, then find p.

Solution:

Let a / 2 = b / 3 = c / 4 = 2a – 3b + 4c / k = m

So a = 2k

b = 3k

c = 4k

2a – 3b + 4c = pk

2 * 2k – 3 * 3k + 4 * 4k = pk

11k = pk

p = 11

(iv) x α y2 and y = 2a when x = a, then show that y2 = 4ax.

Solution:

x α y2

x = ky2 —- (1)

a = k * (2a)2

a = 4a2k

k = 1 / 4a

Put the value of k in (1)

x = (1 / 4a) * y2

4ax = y2

(v) In a trapezium ABCD, BC || AD and AD = 4 cm. The two diagonals AC and BD intersect at the point O in such a way that AO / OC = DO / OB = 1 / 2. Calculate the length of BC.

Solution:

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 4v

ABCD is a trapezium such that BC || AD and AD = 4 cm.

If the diagonals AC and BD intersect at Ο such that AΟ / ΟC = DΟ / ΟB = 1 / 2

Now from the triangle ΔAOB and ΔCOD,

∠AOB = COD (vertically opposite angle)

AO / OC = DO / OB (Given)

From SAS congruence criterion,

ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD

AO / OC = BO / OD = AB / DC (since corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional)

=> 1 / 2 = 4 / DC

=> DC = 4 * 2

=> DC = 8 cm

(vi) Two chords AB and AC of a circle are mutually perpendicular to each other. If AB = 4 cm and AC = 3 cm, find the length of the radius of the circle.

Solution:

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 4vi

The angle of a semicircle is 90o.

BAC is the semi-circle in the figure.

BC is the diameter.

Triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle.

By applying the Pythagoras theorem,

AB2 + AC2 = BC2

42 + 32 = BC2

BC = √16 + 9 = √25

BC = 5cm

Radius = Diameter / 2

= 5 / 2

= 2.5cm

(vii) In △ABC, ∠ABC = 90o and BD ⟂ AC, if AB = 5cm, BC = 12 cm, then find the length of BD.

Solution:

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 4vii

In △ABC,

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

52 + 122 = AC2

25 + 144 = AC2

AC = 13cm

Let BD = y, AD = x

CD = 13 – x

In △ADB,

x2 + y2 = 52

y2 = 25 – x2 —- (1)

In △BDC,

(13 – x)2 + y2 = 122 —- (2)

(13 – x)2 + (25 – x2) = 144

132 + x2 – 26x + 25 – x2 = 144

169 – 26x + 25 = 144

194 – 144 = 26x

50 / 26 = x

x = 25 / 13

y2 = 25 – (25 / 13)2

= 25 – [625 / 169]

= 3600 / 169

BD = y = 60 / 13 cm

(viii) Find the value(s) of Θ (0o ≤ Θ ≤ 90o) for which 2 sin Θ cos Θ = cos Θ.

Solution:

2 sin Θ cos Θ = cos Θ

2 sin Θ = 1

sin Θ = 1 / 2

Θ = 30o

(ix) If sin 10Θ = cos 8 Θand 10Θ is a positive acute angle, then find the value of tan 9Θ.

Solution:

sin 10Θ° = cos 8Θ°

sin 10Θ° = sin (90 – 8Θ)°

Comparing both sides:

10Θ = 90 – 8Θ

18Θ = 90

Θ = 90 / 18

Θ = 5°

Therefore,

tan 9Θ° = tan 9 × 5°

= tan 45°

= 1

(x) The length, breadth and height of a cuboidal room be a unit, b unit, and c unit respectively and a + b + c = 25, ab + bc + ca = 240.5 then find the length of the longest rod to be kept inside the room.

Solution:

The diagonal of the cuboidal = √a2 + b2 + c2 units

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca)

⇒ (25)² = (a² + b² + c²) + 2 (240.5) {Since, (a + b + c) = 25 and (ab + bc + ca) = 240.5. given}

⇒ (a² + b² + c²) = 144

⇒ √a2 + b2 + c2

= √144

= 12 units

(xi) The area of the curved surface of a right circular cone is √5 times that of the base of the cone, find the ratio of the height and the radius of the base of the cone.

Solution:

The area of the curved surface of a right circular cone is √5 times its area of the base.

Area of the curved surface of a right circular cone = πRL

R Radius of Base

L = Slant Height

Area of Base = πR²

Area of the curved surface of a right circular cone = √5 * Area of Base

=> πRL = √5 πR²

=> L = √5 R

L² = H² + R² ( H = Height of cone)

=> (√5 R)² = H² + R²

=> 5R² = H² + R²

=> H² = 4R²

=> H = 2R

The height of the cone is 2 times its radius.

(xii) The mid-value of the first (2n + 1) consecutive natural number is [n + 103] / 3. Find n.

Solution:

The first (2n + 1) consecutive natural numbers form an arithmetic progression.

1, 2, 3, 4……………….. (2n + 1)

As (2n + 1) is odd number, the middle term will be (2n + 2) / 2 = (n + 1)th term

Now, value of Tn+1 term is given by

= 1 + (n + 1 – 1)*1

= n + 1

n + 1 = (n + 103) / 3

3n + 3 = n + 103

3n – n = 103 – 3

2n = 100

n = 100 / 2 = 50

Therefore the value of n = 50.

Question 5: Answer any one question : [5 x 1 = 5]

(i) If interest is compounded half-yearly what will be the compound interest and amount on Rs. 8,000 at the rate of 10% compound interest per annum for 1 (1 / 2) years?

(ii) Two friends start a partnership business investing Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 50,000 respectively. There is an agreement between them that 50% of the profit will be divided equally and the rest amount of profit will be distributed between them in the ratio of their principal. If the share of profit of 1st friend is Rs. 800 less than that of the 2nd friend, find the share of profit of the lst friend.

Solution:

[i] P = Rs. 8000

R = 10%

T = 1 (1 / 2) years = 3 / 2 years

Compounded half-yearly, R = 10 / 2 = 5%

T = 2 * (3 / 2) = 3 years

A = P {1 + (R / 100)}n

A = 8000 {1 + (5 / 100)}3

= 8000 * (1.05)3

= Rs. 9261

CI = A – P

= 9261 – 8000

= Rs. 1261

[ii] Let say Total Profit Share = P

Profit Share of 1st friend = (50 / 100)(P/2) + (40000 / 90000)(P / 2)

= P / 4 + 4P / 18

Profit Share of 2nd friend = (50 / 100)(P / 2) + (50000 / 90000)(P / 2)

= P / 4 + 5P / 18

P / 4 + 5P / 18 – (P / 4 + 4P / 18) = P / 18

P / 18 = 800

=> P = 14400 Rs

First friend share = 14400 / 4 + 4 * 14400 / 18

= 3600 + 3200

= 6800 Rs

2nd friend share = 14400 / 4 + 5 * 14400 / 18

= 3600 + 4000

= 7600 Rs

Question 6: Solve any one question: [3 x 1 = 3]

(i) Determine the equation whose roots are the square of the roots of the equation x2 + x + 1 = 0.

(ii) If the price of 1 dozen pens is reduced by Rs 6, then 3 more pens will be bought at Rs 30. calculate the price of one dozen pens before the reduction of price.

Solution:

[i] x2 + x + 1 = 0

ax2 + bx + c = 0

a = 1, b = 1, c = 1

ɑ + β = -b / a = -1 / 1 = 1

ɑ β = c / a = 1 / 1 = 1

(ɑ + β)2 = ɑ2 + β2 + 2 ɑ β

(-1)2 = ɑ2 + β2 + 2 * 1

-1 = ɑ2 + β2 — (1)

ɑ2 β2 = 1 —- (2)

x2 – (ɑ2 + β2) x + ɑ2 β2

x2 + x + 1 = 0

[ii] Let the price of 1 dozen pens before reduction be x.

After the reduction, the price of 12 pens is x – 6.

Price of 15 pens = ([x – 6] / 12) * 15 —– (1)

Price of 15 pens = Rs. 30 —- (2)

([x – 6] / 12) * 15 = 30

[x – 6] / 12 = 2

x – 6 = 24

x = Rs. 30

Question 7: Answer any one question: [3 x 1 = 3]

(i) Simplify: [4√3 / 2 – √2] – [30 / 4√3 – √18] – [√18 / 3 – √12].

(ii) If [(1 / x) – (1 / y)] α [1 / x – y], then show that x2 + y2 α xy.

Solution:

[i] [1] = (4√3) / (2 – √2) = (4√3) (2 + √2) / (2 – √2) (2 + √2)

= (8√3 + 4√6) / 2

= 4√3 + 2√6 …………………(1)

[2] = 30 / (4√3 – √18)

= 30 * (4√3 + √18) / (4√3 – √18) (4 √3 + √18)

= (120√3 + 30 √18) / (48 – 18)

= 30 (4√3 + √18) / 30

= 4√3 + 3√2 ………………(2)

[3] = √18 / (3 – 2√3)

= √18 (3 + 2√3) / (3 – 2√3) (3 + 2√3)

= (3√18 + 2√54) / 9 – 12

= (9√2 + 6√6) / -3

= -3√2 -2√6 ………………(3)

Now by combining all 3 terms:

(4√3 + 2√6) — (4√3 + 3√2) — (-3√2 – 2√6)

= 4√3 + 2√6 – 4√3 – 3√2 + 3√2 + 2√6

= 2√6 + 2√6

= 4√6

[ii] [y – x] / xy = k * [1 / [x – y]]

(y – x) (x – y) = k* xy

xy – x2 – y2 – xy = k * xy

x2 + y2 = 2xy – kxy

x2 + y2 = (2 – k) xy

x2 + y2 α xy

Question 8: Answer any one question: [3 x 1 = 3]

(i) If (3x – 2y) : (x + 3y) = 5 : 6, then find the value of (2x + 5y) : (3x + 4y).

(ii) If [b + c – a] / [y + z – x] = [c + a – b] / [z + x – y] = [a + b – c] / [x + y – z], then prove that [a / x] = [b / y] = [c / z].

Solution:

[i] (3x – 2y) : (x + 3y) = 5 : 6

6 * (3x – 2y) = 5 * (x + 3y)

18x – 12y = 5x + 15y

18x – 5x = 15y + 12y

13x = 27y

x = [27 / 13] * y

(2x + 5y) / (3x + 4y)

= (2 * [27y / 13] + 5y) / (3 * [27y / 13] + 4y)

= ([54y / 13] + 5y) / [(81y / 13) + 4y]

= 119y / 133y

= 119 / 133

= 17 / 19

= 17:19

[ii] [b + c – a] = k [y + z – x] —- (1)

[c + a – b] = k [z + x – y] —- (2)

[a + b – c] = k [x + y – z] —- (3)

Add (1), (2) and (3),

a + b + c = k (x + y + z) —- (4)

Subtract (1) from (4),

2a = k (2x)

a / x = k

Similarly,

b / y = k

c / z = k

From the above equations,

[a / x] = [b / y] = [c / z]

Question 9: Answer any one question: [5 x 1 = 5]

(i) Prove that the semicircular angle is a right angle.

(ii) If two circles touch each other externally then the point of contact will lie on the line segment joining the two centres – Prove it.

Solution:

[i] Now POQ is a straight line passing through centre O.

∴ Angle subtended by arc PQ at O is

∠POQ = 180°

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by any point on the remaining part of the circle.

∴∠POQ = 2 ∠PAQ

∠POQ / 2 = ∠PAQ

180 / 2 = ∠PAQ

∠PAQ = 90o

[ii] Two circles are touching each other externally in the figure on the left side whereas, on the right side, two circles are touching each other internally. At the point of contact, a common tangent L can be drawn to both the circles:

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 9ii

In both the cases above, AP must be perpendicular to L, and so must BP. This is because L is the tangent to both the circles at P. Thus, both the perpendiculars AP and BP pass through the same point P, which necessarily implies that A, P and B are collinear.

Question 10: Answer any one question: [3 x 1 = 3]

(i) If a quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribed about a circle with centre O, prove that AB + CD = BC + DA.

(ii) If in ΔABC, ∠A is the right angle and BP and CQ are two medians, then prove that, 5BC2 = 4(BP2 + CQ2).

Solution:

[i]

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 10i

Since the tangents drawn from an exterior point to a circle are equal in length.

∴ AP = AS …(i)

BP = BQ …(ii)

CR = CQ …(iii) and

DR = DS …(iv)

Adding (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv),

AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS

⇒ (AP + BP) + (CR + DR)

= (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)

⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC

Hence, AB + CD = BC + DA.

[ii]

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 10ii

In △ABC,

AB2 + AC2 = BC2 —- (1)

In △BAP,

AB2 + AP2 = BP2 —- (2)

In △QAC,

QA2 + AC2 = QC2 —- (3)

LHS = 5BC2 = 5 (AB2 + AC2)

RHS = 4 [AB2 + (AC / 2)2 + AC2 (AB / 2)2]

= 4 [5 (AB2 + AC2) / 4]

= 5 [AB2 + AC2]

Question 11: Answer any one question: [5 x 1 = 5]

(i) Draw a triangle ABC of which BC = 7 cm, AB = 5 cm and AC = 6 cm. Then draw the circumcircle of ΔABC. (Only traces of construction are required)

Question 12: Answer any two questions : [3 x 2 = 6]

[i] In △ABC, ∠C = 90o, if BC = m and AC = n then prove that, m sin A + n sin B = √m2 + n2.

[ii] Find the value of (4 / 3) cot2 30o + 3 sin2 60o – 2 cosec2 60o – (3 / 4) tan2 30o.

[iii] If ∠P + ∠Q = 90° then show that √sin P / cos Q – (sin P cos Q) = cos2 P.

Solution:

[i]

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 12i

In △ACB,

AC2 + BC2 = AB2

n2 + m2 = AB2

AB = √m2 + n2

LHS = m sin A + n sin B

= m * (m / √m2 + n2) + n * (n / √m2 + n2)

= m2 / √m2 + n2 + n2 / √m2 + n2

= m2 + n2 / √m2 + n2

= √m2 + n2 * √m2 + n2 / √m2 + n2

Solution:

[i]

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 13i

In △ABC,

tan 30o = 600 / x

1 / √3 = 600 / x

x = 600√3

In △DEC,

tan 60o = 600 / y

√3 = 600 / y

y = 600 / √3

x + y = 600√3 + 600 / √3

= [1800 + 600] / √3

= 2400 / √3

= 800√3m

[ii]

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 13ii

In △DBC,

DB / BC = tan 45o

x / BC = 1

BC = ‘x’m

In △ABC,

[3.6 + x] / x = tan 50o

[3.6 + x] / x = 1.2

3.6 + x = 1.2x

3.6 = 0.2x

x = 3.6 / 0.2

x = 18m

Height of the building = 18m.

Question 14: Answer any two questions: [4 x 2 = 8]

(i) If 64 buckets of water are withdrawn from a cubical water tank, full of water, then 1 / 3 of water in the tank still remains. If the length of the side of the water tank is 1.2 metre then what is the capacity (in litre) of each bucket? (1 cubic decimeter = 1 litre)

(ii) The diameter of the cross-section of a wire is reduced by 50%. If the volume remains constant, what percent of the length of the wire should be increased?

(iii) 77 sq. m tripal is required to make a right circular conical tent. If the slant height of the tent is 7 m, then what is the area of the base of the tent?

Solution:

[i]

WBBSE Class 10 Maths 2019 QP Solutions Question Number 14i

The total volume of the cubical tank with a side (a) = a3

Volume remained = [1 / 3]a3

Volume emptied = a3 – [1 / 3]a3

The volume of 1 bucket = V

Volume emptied = 64 * volume of bucket

[2 / 3]a3 = 64 * V

(2 / 3) (12)3 = 64 * V

1152 / 64 = V

V = 18 / 1000 m3

V = 18L

[ii] Let diameter = d units

Radius = r = d / 2

Volume (V1) = 𝛑 (d / 2)2 * h1

Volume (V2) = 𝛑 (d / 4)2 * h2

V1 = V2

𝛑 (d / 2)2 * h1 = 𝛑 (d / 4)2 * h2

4h1 = h2

Increase % = [Increase / Original] * 100

= [3h1 / h1] * 100

= 300%

[iii] Structure of a tent is like a right circular cone.

∴ Tripal required to make tent = Curved surface area of the cone

Let, the base radius of the tent = r m

Slant height = 7 m

⇒ π × r × 7 = 77

⇒ 22 / 7 × r = 11

⇒ r = 7 / 2 = 3.5

∴ Base radius of the tent = 3.5 m

∴ Base area of the tent,= πr2

= 22 / 7 × 3.52

= 38.5 sq. m

Class <10 <20 <30 <40 <50 <60 <70 <80
Frequency 4 16 40 76 96 112 120 125

(iii) Find the mean of 52 students of class X in a school by using the direct method and assumed mean method from the table given below:

Class 4 7 10 15 8 5 3
Frequency 30 33 35 40 43 45 48

Solution:

[i]
Class 0 – 20 20 – 40 40 – 60 60 – 80 80 – 100
Frequency 7 11 K 9 13
xi 10 30 50 70 90
fixi 70 330 50K 630 1170

Mean = ∑fixi / ∑fi

54 = 2200 + 50K / 40 + K

54 [40 + K] = 2200 + 50K

2160 + 54K = 2200 + 50K

4K = 40

K = 10

[ii]
Class 0 – 10 10 – 20 20 – 30 30 – 40 40 – 50 50 – 60 60 – 70 70 – 80
Frequency 4 16 40 76 96 112 120 125

Mode = Z = L1 + (F1 – F0) / (2F1 – F0 – F2) * h

= 30 + [36 – 24] / [72 – 24 – 20]

= 30 + (30 / 7)

= 240 / 7

= 34.2

[iii]
Class 4 7 10 15 8 5 3
Frequency 30 33 35 40 43 45 48 52

di = xi – A [A = 40] -10 -7 -5 0 3 5 8
fidi -40 -49 -50 0 24 25 24 -66

Direct method:

Mean = ∑fixi / ∑fi

= 2014 / 52

= 38.73

Assumed mean method:

Mean = a + ∑fidi / ∑fi

= 40 + (-66 / 52)

= 38.73

Question 16: (a) Answer any three questions: [2 x 3 = 6]

(i) p : q = 5 : 7 and p + q = – 4 then what is the value of (3p + 2q)?

(ii) In how many years the interest will be the (3 / 5)th of principal at the rate of 10% simple interest per annum?

(iii) What is the circular value of an angle formed by the endpoint of the hour hand of a clock in 1-hour rotation?

(iv) If x = 2 + √5 and xy = -1, find the value of x – y.

Solution:

[i] p = 5x

q = 7x

p + q = -4

5x + 7x = -4

12x = -4

x = -1 / 3

p = 5 * (-1 / 3) = -5 / 3

q = 7 * (-1 / 3) = -7 / 3

3p + 2q = 3 * (-5 / 3) + 2 * (-7 / 3)

= -15 / 3 – 14 / 3

= -29 / 3

[ii] Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100

(3 / 5) * P = (P * 10 * T) / 100

3 / 5 = T / 10

T = 30 / 5 = 6 years

[iii] In one complete circle of 12 hours, it completes a 2π angle.

⇒ In 1 hour, it will complete 2π / 12 = π / 6 = 30o

x² + ax + 3 = 0 , α = 1

On comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0,

a = 1 , b = a , c = 3

12 + a (1) + 3 = 0

1 + a + 3 = 0

a = -4

[ii] Let the numbers be x, y, z.

xyz = 64

As they are in continued proportion, so x / y = y / z

=> y2 = xz

=> y3 = xyz = 64

=> y = 4

[iii] x2 – kx + 4 = 0

On comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0,

a = 1, b = -k, c = 4
