Class 10 maths term 2 important questions

1) In the gven figure, "O is the centre of circle, PQ is a chord and the tangent PR at P makes an angle of
50" with PQ, then LPOQ is equal to:

(A) 100 (B) 80° (C) 90° (D) 75

Correct option is A)

We know, that radius is perpendicular to a tangent

∴  ∠OPR=90o

⇒  ∠OPQ+∠QPR=90o

⇒  ∠OPQ+50o=90o

⇒  ∠OPQ=90o−50o

⇒  ∠OPQ=40o

⇒  OP=OQ                                                            [ Radii of a circle ]

⇒  ∠OPQ=∠OQP=40o                                 [ Base angles of equal sides are also

equal ]
In △POQ,

⇒  ∠OQP+∠POQ+∠OPQ=180o                    [ Sum of angles of a triangle

is 180o ]

⇒  40o+∠POQ+40o=180o

⇒  ∠POQ+80=180o

⇒  ∠POQ=100o

2) Given that, sin α=1/2 and cos β=1/2 then the value of (alpha+beta) is:
(A) 0 (B) 30° (C) 60° (D) 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that alpha and beta are acute angled.

sin alpha = 1/2 means that

alpha = 30°

cos beta = 1/2 means that

beta = 60°

alpha + beta = 90°.

3) given that sin θ = ab then cos θ is equal to

Ans: √(b² - a²)/b.

Solution:

Given, sinθ = a/b

We have to find the value of cosθ.

We know that sin A = opposite/hypotenuse

Opposite = a

Hypotenuse = b

Using the pythagorean theorem,

(hypotenuse)² = (opposite)² + (adjacent)²

(b)² = (adjacent)² + (a)²

(adjacent)² = b² - a²

Taking square root,

Adjacent = √(b² - a²)

We know that cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

cosθ = √(b² - a²)/b

Therefore, the value of cosθ is √(b² - a²)/b.

Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?

A)0.01 b)3% c)16/17 d)17/16

It is a probability of an event as it lies between 0 and 1. It is not a probability of an event
as it is greater than 1. Therefore, 17/16 cannot be the probability of an event.

An event is very unlikely to happen. Its probability is closest to

(A) 0.0001 (B) 0.001 (C)0.01 (D) 0.1

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to

the total number of outcomes of an event.

The probability of an event which is unlikely to happen is close to zero i.e.

0.0001

Therefore, its probability is closest to 0.0001.

If sin (A+ B) = 1 and sin (A - B) = ,0sA +B = 90" and A > B, then find A and B .

sin(A−B)=21⇒sin(A−B)=30o[∵sin30o=21 ]}]

On equating both sides

A−B=30o...(1)
cos(A+B)=21⇒cos(A−B)=cos(60o)[∵cos(60o)=21]
On equating both sides
A+B=60o..(2)
Adding (1) and (2)
2A=90o⇒A=45o
Putting value of A in (i)
45o+B=60o⇒B=15o
Hence A=45o; B=15o

Find the area (in cm) of the circle that can be in scribed in a square of side 8 cm.

OR
The curved surface area of a cylinder is 264 m and its volume is 924 m. Find the ratio of its height to its
diameters

The correct option is C. 37

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
⇒πr2h2πrh=924264⇒r2=72
∴r=7 m
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
⇒2×227×7×h=264
⇒h=26444
∴h=6 m
So,h2r=614=37

Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles the circle.
at the centre of the circle.
A bag contains 18 balls out of which x balls are red.

(i) If one ball is drawn at random from the bag, what is the probability that it is not red?
(ii) If 2 more red balls are put in the bag, the probability of drawing a red ball will be times the
probability 9/8 of drawing a red ball in the first case. Find the value of x.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

bag contains =18 balls
no. of red balls =x

Probability of red ball =total no of ballFavourable ball

(i) P[red ball]=18x

(ii) If two more red ball add 

no. of red ball =x+2
total no. of balls =18+2=20

Probability of druuing red ball =89 Probability of red ball coming in part (i)

∴ 20x+2=89×18x

∴ 20x+2=16x
∴ 16(x+2)=20 x

∴ 16 x+32=20 x
∴ 20 x−16 x=32

∴ 4 x=32
∴ x=8

→ the value of x=8

find the shaded region

A solid is in the form of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. The total height of the solid is 20
cm and the diameter of the cylinder is 7 cm. Find the total volume of the solid d(use pie =22/7)

ANS:

Hint: We will use formula 

area of square = (side)2area of square = (side)2
 and 
area of circle =πr2 area of circle =πr2
 r being the radius of circle. To find the area of the shaded region, we will find the
area of the square first and then find the area of two circles and add all the
 areas. Finally we will subtract the area of the two quarter portion to get the area
of the shaded region.

Complete step-by-step answer:

It is given in the question that the side of the square is 28cm and radius of each circle is
half of the length of the side of the square where O and O’ are the centres of the circles,
then we have to find the area of the shaded region.

We know that the area of the square is given by (side)2(side)2. We know that the side
of the square is 28 cm, so the area of the square will
be 282=28×28=784cm2282=28×28=784cm2.
Also, we know that the area of circle is given by πr2πr2, 
radius of circle = side2=282=14cmradius of circle = side2=282=14cm
. So, 
area of circle =π(14)2=3.14×14×14=615.44cm2

But we have two circles of equal radius, therefore an area of two circles
= 2×615.44cm2=1230.88cm22×615.44cm2=1230.88cm2.
Now, we know that two quarters are repeating, therefore we will subtract the area of two quarters.
Area of two quarters = 2×615.444=615.442=307.72cm22×615.444=615.442=307.72cm2.
Thus, the area of shaded region becomes = area of square + area of 2 circles - area of two quarters,
putting the values, we get
Area=(784+1230.88−307.72)cm2=1707.16cm2

Therefore, the area of the shaded region will be 1707.16cm2cm2.

Note: Students may skip or subtract the area of the two quarters from the sum of
the area of the quarters from the sum of the area of square and the two circles. It is
necessary to subtract the area of the quarter which is overlapping. If we do not
subtract it, we will get two extra quarters, which is not required.

36) Varun has been selected by his school to design logo for sports day T-shirts for students and
staff. The logo is designed in different geometry and different colours according to the theme. In the
given figure, a circle with centre O is inscribed in a AAB, such that it touches the sides AB, BC and CA
at points D, E and F, respectively. The lengths of sides AB, BC and CA are 12 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm
respectively.

(i) Find the length of AD and BE.

(ii If the radius of the circle is 4 cm, find the area of AOAB.
(iii) Calculate the perimeter of triangle ABC.

OR

if triable ABC in stitched by Gold wire then calculate the amount of used role x-wise in it. The rate of
gold-wise in 1500 per m.

Solution :- (from image) .
Since, tangent from same external points to the circle are equal in length .
 Let,

 AD = AF = x cm .
 BD = BE = y cm .
 CF = CE = z cm .

so,

 AB = x + y = 12 cm .
 BC = y + z = 8 cm .
 CA = z + x = 10 cm .

adding all,
→ AB + BC + CA = 12 + 8 + 10
→ (x + y) + (y + z) + (z + x) = 30
→ 2(x + y + z) = 30
→ x + y + z = 15 cm .
then,
→ (x + y + z) - (y + z) = x => 15 - 8 = 7 cm = AD (Ans.1)
→ (x + y + z) - (x + z) = y => 15 - 10 = 5 cm = BE (Ans.2)
→ (x + y + z) - (x + y) = z => 15 - 12 = 3 cm = CF (Ans.3)
now, given that,

 Radius of circle = OD = 4 cm.

therefore,
→ Area ∆OAB = (1/2) * perpendicular height * Base = (1/2) * OD * AB = (1/2) *
4 * 12 = 24 cm² (Ans.4)
hence, using same formula we get,
→ Area ∆ABC = Area ∆OAB + Area ∆OBC + Area ∆OCA
→ Area ∆ABC = [(1/2) * radius * AB] + [(1/2) * radius * BC] + [(1/2) * radius *
CA]
→ Area ∆ABC = (1/2) * radius * (AB + BC + CA)
→ Area ∆ABC = (1/2) * 4 * 30
→ Area ∆ABC = 2 * 30
→ Area ∆ABC = 60 cm² (Ans.5)
