Class 10 - Mathematics

Sample Paper - 07 (2022-23)

Solution

Section A
1. (d) 4.4 cm

Explanation: In ΔABC, DE || BC

AD : DB = 3 : 1, EA = 3.3 cm

Let EC = x

∵  In △ABC, DE || BC

AD

DB
=
AE

EC
⇒

1
=
3.3

⇒ x =

3
= 1.1cm

∴   AC = AE + EC = 3.3 + 1.1 = 4.4 cm

2. (d)  2p3 = pq − r
Explanation: Let a-d, a, a+d be the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = x
3 2
− 3px + qx − r  then

Sum of zeros =

 - Coefficient of x

3
 Coefficient of x
−(−3p)
(a − d) + a + (a + d) =
1

3 a = 3 p

a = p

Since 'a' is a zero of the polynomial f(x)

Therefore, f(a) = 0

a3 - 3pa2 + qa - r = 0

Substituting a = p, we get

p3 - 3p(p)2 + q × p - r = 0

p3 - 3p3 + qp - r = 0

-2p3 + qp - r = 0

qp - r = 2p3
3. (d) 115o

Explanation: Since the sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o

∴ ∠   A + ∠ C = 180o

⇒  2x - 1 + 2y + 15 = 180o

⇒  x + y = 83o ... (i)

And ∠ B + ∠ D = 180o

⇒  y + 5 + 4x - 7 = 180o

⇒  4x + y = 182o ... (ii)

Subtracting eq. (ii) from eq. (i),

myCBSEguide

we get -3x = -99o

⇒  x = 33o

Putting the value of x in eq. (i),

we get 33o + y = 83o

⇒  y = 50o

∴ ∠  C = (2y + 15)o = (2 ×  50 + 15)o = 115o

4. (a) parallel lines

Explanation: Given: Two equations, x + 2y = 3

⇒ x + 2y – 3 = 0 .... (i)

2x + 4y + 7 = 0 .... (ii)

We know that the general form for a pair of linear equations in 2 variables x and y is a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y +
c2 = 0.

Comparing with above equations,

we have a1 = 1, b1 = 2, c1 = - 3; a2 = 2, b2 = 4, c2 = 7

a1 b1 c1

1 2 1 −3
= ; = = ; =
a2 2 b2 4 2 c2 7

a1 b1 c1
Since  a2
=
b2
≠
c2
 

∴Both lines are parallel to each other.

Explanation: Since DE AD AE 9 AE

DB EC 6 25−AE

6. (b) 1.6

Explanation: Probability of occurrence of an event cannot be >1 and here the given probability is 1.6 hence it cannot be
true.
7. (a) 2p

Explanation: Given: sinθ + cosθ = p

squaring both sides we get

sin2θ  + cos2θ  + cos2θ  + 2sinθ  cosθ  = p2

1 + 2sinθ  cosθ  = p2(sin2θ  + cos2θ  = 1)

2sinθ  cosθ  = p2 - 1 ... (i)

and also secθ + cosecθ = q (given)

1
  +    = q

cosθ sinθ
sinθ+cosθ

sinθcosθ
 = q

but sinθ  + cosθ  = p ... (given)

p
 = q ... (ii)

sinθcosθ

from (i)  and (ii) we get

q(p2 - 1) = 2p
8. (b) 315

Explanation: Class having maximum frequency is the modal class.

hence, modal class : 150-155

∴ Lower limit of the modal class = 150

The cumulative frequency just greater than 30 is 37.

Hence, the median class is 160-165.

∴ Upper limit of the median class = 165

Required sum = 150 + 165 = 315

9. (a) (B)

Explanation: Two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.
10. (b) co-prime numbers

Explanation: If two numbers do not have a common factor (other than 1), then they are called co-primer numbers. We
know that two numbers are coprime if their common factor (greatest common divisor) is 1. e.g. co-prime of 12 are 11,

Explanation: x2 + 7x + 12 = 0

⇒  x(x + 4) + 3(x + 4) = 0

myCBSEguide
⇒  (x + 4) (x + 3) = 0

⇒  (x + 4) = 0 or (x + 3) = 0

⇒  x = -4 or x = -3

Therefore, x2 + 7x + 12 has two real zeroes. 

20. (d) A is false but R is true.

Explanation: A is false but R is true.

Section B
21. Here the length of a rectangular field is three times its breadth and area is equal to 104 metre square.

Let the breadth of a rectangle = x meter

Then, the length of rectangle = 3x meter

Therefore,  Area = length ×  breadth = 147 m2

⇒ 3x(x) = 147

 ⇒ 3x2 = 147

 ⇒ x2 = 49

−−
⇒  x = √49  ⇒ x = ±7

⇒  x = 7 [Because, breadth cannot be negative]

Therefore, breadth of rectangle = 7m

and length of rectangle = 3(7) m = 21m.

22. The end points of AB are A(4, -3 ) and B(9,7).

∴  (x1 = 4, y1 = -3) and (x2 = 9, y2 = 7).

Also, m = 3 and n = 2

Let the required point be P(x, y).

By the section formula, we have

(mx2 +nx1 ) (my2 +ny1 )

x = , y =

(m+n) (m+n)

(3×9+2×4) [3×7+2×(−3)]
⇒ x =
(3+2)
 
, y =
(3+2)

⇒  x = 7, y = 3.

Hence, the required point is P(7, 3).

23. The prime factorization of 90 and 140 are as follows

2
90 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 2× 3 × 5

4 2

144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 3

Hence HCF (90,144) = 2 ×  32 = 18

and LCM (90,144) =  24 ×  32 ×  5 = 720

24. According to question we have sin (A+B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B, we need to find the value of sin 75 .
∘

Putting A = 45

 and B = 30

fi = 110,

fixi = 18720

f xi
Therefore, Mean =  = 170.20

x̄ = =

Hence, the mean daily wages of the workers is Rs 170.20

graph of 3x − y = 2 as shown in Fig.

Graph of 9x − 3y = 6 :

We have, 9x − 3y = 6

⇒ y = 9x − 6

9x−6
⇒ y =

When x = -1, we have

y -2 -5
Plotting the points C (0, −2)andD(−1, −5) on the graph paper and drawing a line passing through these two points on
the same graph paper we obtain the graph of 9x − 3y = 6 . We find the C and D both lie on the graph of 3x − y = 2 .
Thus, the graphs of the two equations are coincident. 

Hence, the system of equations has infinitely many solutions.

OR

Suppose that the digits at units and tens place of the given number be x and y respectively.

Thus, the number is 10y + x.

The product of the two digits of the number is 20.

Thus, we have xy = 20

After interchanging the digits, the number becomes 10x + y

If 9 is added to the number, the digits interchange their places.

Thus, we have

(10y + x) + 9 = 10x + y

 
⇒ 10y + x + 9 = 10x + y

⇒ 10x + y − 10y − x = 9

⇒9(x − y) = 9

9
⇒ x− y =
9

 
⇒ x− y = 1

So, we have the systems of equations

xy = 20 ....(i)

x− y = 1  ....(ii)

Here x and y are unknowns.

We have to solve the above systems of equations for x and y.

Substituting x = 1 + y  from the second equation to the first equation, we get (1 + y)y = 20

 
⇒ y+ y
2
= 20

⇒ y   2
+ y − 20 = 0

  + 5y − 4y − 20 = 0

⇒ y
2

⇒  y(y + 5) − 4(y + 5) = 0

 
⇒ (y + 5)(y − 4) = 0

 
⇒ y = −5 or y = 4

Substituting the value of y in the second equation, we have

x -4 5

y -5 4
Note that in the first pair of solution the values of x and y are both negative. But the digits of the number can't be
negative. So, we must remove this pair.

Hence, the number is 10 ×  4 + 5 = 45
