5) On a morning walk, three persons step off together and their steps measure 40 cm,
42 cm and 45 cm respectively. The minimum distance each should walk so that each
can cover the same distance in complete steps is
(a) 1260 cm (b) 1920 cm (c) 2242 cm (d) 2520 cm
Ans: Step measures of three persons are 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm.
The minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same
distance in complete steps is the LCM of 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm.
Prime factorisation of 40,42 and 45 gives
40 = 23 × 5, 42 = 2 × 3 × 7, 45 = 32 × 5
LCM (40,42,45)= 23 × 32 × 5 × 7 = 8 × 9 × 35 = 2520 𝑐𝑚.

(a) 𝑥 2 − 10𝑥 + 7 (b) 𝑥 2 + 10𝑥 + 7 (c) 𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 9 (d) 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 − 9
Ans: Sum of zeroes= 5 − 3√2 + 5 + 3√2 = 10
Product of zeroes= (5 − 3√2) (5 + 3√2 )
∴ 𝑝(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 10𝑥 + 7

Ans: tan 𝜃 + cot 𝜃 = 2 (given)
On squaring both the sides,
𝑡𝑎𝑛2 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑡 2 𝜃 + 2 = 4
𝑡𝑎𝑛2 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑡 2 𝜃 = 2

√𝑡𝑎𝑛2 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑡 2 𝜃 = √2
21) The probability that a non – leap year selected at random will contain 53 Sundays is:
1 2 3 5
(a) (b) (c) (d)
7 7 7 7
Ans:
A non – leap year has 365 days
A year has 52 weeks. Hence there will be 52 Sundays for sure.
52 weeks = 52 x 7 = 364 days
365 – 364 = 1 day extra
In a non – leap year there will be 52 Sundays and 1 day will be left.
This 1 day can be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Of these total 7 outcomes, the favourable outcomes are 1
1
Hence the probability of getting 53 Sundays =
7
Thus, the correct option is (a).

22) If √𝑎𝑥 - √𝑏𝑦 = 𝑏 – 𝑎 and √𝑏𝑥 - √𝑎𝑦 = 0, then the value of 𝑥 . 𝑦 is:
(a) 𝑎 + 𝑏 (b) 𝑎 – 𝑏 (c) √𝑎𝑏 (d) - √𝑎𝑏
Ans:
√𝑎𝑥 - √𝑏𝑦 = 𝑏 – 𝑎 … (1)
√𝑏𝑥 - √𝑎𝑦 = 0 … (2)
Substitution:
√𝑎𝑥 = 𝑏 − 𝑎 + √𝑏𝑦
𝑏−𝑎+√𝑏𝑦
or 𝑥 = … (3)
√𝑎
So, putting in (3)

√𝑏 x (𝑏−𝑎+√𝑏𝑦)
− √𝑎𝑦 = 0
√𝑎
𝑏√𝑏−𝑎√𝑏+𝑏𝑦
or − √𝑎𝑦 = 0
√𝑎
𝑏√𝑏−𝑎√𝑏+𝑏𝑦−𝑎𝑦
or =0
√𝑎
or 𝑏√𝑏 − 𝑎√𝑏 + 𝑏𝑦 − 𝑎𝑦 = 0 x √𝑎 = 0
or √𝑏(−𝑎 + 𝑏) + 𝑦(−𝑎 + 𝑏) = 0
or 𝑦(−𝑎 + 𝑏) = −√𝑏(−𝑎 + 𝑏)
−√𝑏(−𝑎+𝑏)
or 𝑦 = = −√𝑏
(−𝑎+𝑏)

Putting 𝑦 = −√𝑏 in equation (3)

𝑏−𝑎+√𝑏 x (−√𝑏)
𝑥=
√𝑎
𝑏−𝑎−𝑏 −𝑎
𝑥= = = −√𝑎
√𝑎 √𝑎
Value of 𝑥 x 𝑦 = −√𝑎 x −√𝑏 = √𝑎𝑏
Thus, the correct option is (c).

made as shown in the figure. The area of the remaining portion is:
(a) 24 𝑐𝑚2 (b) 48 𝑐𝑚2 (c) 42 𝑐𝑚2 (d) 56 𝑐𝑚2
Ans:
Radius of a circle = 7 cm
Length of side of square handkerchief = 14 cm
Area of the square handkerchief = (𝑆)2 = (14)2 = 196 𝑐𝑚2
22
Area of one circle 𝜋𝑟 2 = x 72 = 154 𝑐𝑚2

Class: X Subject: Mathematics Revision Paper (2021 – 2022)
Remaining portion = Area of handkerchief – Area of Design

Thus, the correct option is (c).
24) The zeroes of the polynomial 𝑥 2 − 3 are:
(a) 2 and √3 (b) - √3 and 5 (c) √3 and √3 (d) √3 and - √3
Ans:
Given polynomial is 𝑥 2 – 3
Here, 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = 0 and 𝑐 = - 3
𝑥 2 − 3 = (𝑥 − √3)(𝑥 − √3)
So, the value of 𝑥 2 − 3 is zero when 𝑥 = √3 or 𝑥 = −√3
Therefore, the zeroes of 𝑥 2 − 3 are √3 and −√3.

Length of Diagonal AB = Distance between the points A(0, 3) and B(5, 0).
∴ Distance between the points (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 )
𝑑 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
Here, 𝑥1 = 0, 𝑦1 = 3 and 𝑥2 = 5, 𝑦2 = 0

∴ Distance between the points A(0, 3) and B(5, 0)

AB = √(5 − 0)2 + (0 − 3)2
= √25 + 9
= √34
Thus, the correct option is (c).

35) The equations 𝑥 – y = 0.9 and = 2 have the solution:
𝑥+𝑦
(a) 𝑥 = 5 and 𝑦 = 9 (b) 𝑥 = 3 and 𝑦 = 2
(c) 𝑥 = - 3 and 𝑦 = - 2 (d) 𝑥 = 3.2 and 𝑦 = 2.3

Class: X Subject: Mathematics Revision Paper (2021 – 2022)
Ans:
Given 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 0.9 … (1)
11
= 2 ⇒ 2𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 11 … (2)
𝑥+𝑦
Multiply (1) by 2 and add
2𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 1.8
4𝑥 = 12.8
or 𝑥 = 3.2
Put value of 𝑥 in (1)
Then 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 0.9 = 3.2 − 0.9 = 2.3
Then 𝑥 = 3.2 and 𝑦 = 2.3
Thus, the correct option is (d).
36) A point P divides the join of A(5, - 2) and B(9, 6) are in the ratio 3 : 1. The coordinates
of P are:
11
(a) (8, 5) (b) (8, 4) (c) ( , 5) (d) (8, 8)
2
Ans:
Coordinates of P are P(𝑥, 𝑦) where
3 x 9 +1 x 5 32
𝑥= = =8
3+1 4
3 x 6 + 1 x (−2) 16
𝑦= = =4
3+1 4
The required point is (8, 4)
Thus, the correct option is (b).
37) If the distance between the points (8, 𝑝) and (4, 3) is 5, then value of 𝑝 is:
(a) 6 (b) 3 (c) 5 (d) – 6
Ans:
By distance formula
√(8 − 4)2 + (𝑝 − 3)2 = 5
42 + (𝑝 − 3)2 = 52
(𝑝 − 3)2 = 32
(𝑝 − 3) = 3
𝑝=6
Thus, the correct option is (a).
38) A number consists of two digits. The sum of the digits is 12 and the unit digit when
divided by the tens digit gives the result as 3. The number is:
(a) 63 (b) 68 (c) 93 (d) 39
Ans:
Let the unit’s place digit be 𝑦
Let ten’s place digit be 𝑥

Class: X Subject: Mathematics Revision Paper (2021 – 2022)
Number = 10𝑥 + y
We are given that a no. consist of two digits.
The sum of digits is 12.
So, 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 12
The unit digit when divided by the ten digit gives the result as 3.
𝑦
So, = 3
𝑥
𝑦 = 3𝑥
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 12
𝑥 + 3𝑥 = 12
4𝑥 = 12
𝑥=3
𝑦 = 3𝑥 = 3(3) = 9
Number = 10𝑥 + 𝑦
= 10(3) + 9
= 30 + 9
= 39
Thus, the correct option is (d).
39) The area of a circle is increased by 22 𝑐𝑚2 , when its radius is increased by 1 cm. The
original radius of the circle is:
(a) 6 cm (b) 3.2 cm (c) 3 cm (d) 3.5 cm
Ans:
According to the question
𝜋(𝑟 + 1)2 − 𝜋𝑟 2 = 22
⇒ 𝜋(𝑟 2 + 2𝑟 + 1 − 𝑟 2 ) = 22
⇒ 2𝜋𝑟 + 𝜋 = 22
22
⇒ (2𝑟 + 1) = 22
7
⇒ 2𝑟 + 1 = 7
⇒ 2𝑟 = 6 ⇒ 𝑟 = 3 cm.
Thus, the correct option is (c).
40) (cosec 𝜃 – sin 𝜃) (sec 𝜃 – cos 𝜃) (tan 𝜃 + cot 𝜃) is equal:
(a) – 1 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) – 2
