Chapter 1: Number System
A. Case-based question
People are using numbers of different types for various purposes like counting. The
Pythagoreans in Greece – the followers of the great mathematician Pythagoras were the first
to discover numbers which were not rational around 400 BC. These numbers are called
Irrational numbers. Like rational numbers, irrational numbers can be represented on a number
line. Mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be
performed on these numbers. Various number systems used are shown in the following
figure.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(c) Decimal expansion of 32 = 25 ÷ 32 = 0.78125
= 0.78125
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
𝑝
Rational numbers can be expressed in the form 𝑞 where p and q are integers,
and q ≠ 0.
We can write 0 = 0/1.
Here 0 and 1 are integers and the denominator 1 is not equal to 0.
𝑝
So, we have expressed 0 in the form 𝑞 where p and q are integers, and q ≠ 0.
Therefore, 0 is a rational number.

Hence, Assertion (A) is true.
𝑝
Any number which can be expressed in the form 𝑞where p and q are integers, and
q ≠ 0, is a rational number.
So, Reason (R) is true.
𝑝
Since we show that 0 can be written in the form of 𝑞where both p and q are the integers
and q is not equal to zero, which shows that 0 is a rational number.

Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct and Reason (R) is the correct
2. Answer: b.
Explanation:
We know that, am × bm = (ab)m
So, 23 × 33 = (2 × 3)3 = 63
Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
am × an = am + n
Here, reason is about exponents with same base but assertion is about different bases
having the same power.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct
3. Answer: a.
Explanation:
1/20 = 0.05 which is a terminating decimal.
Also, 20 = 22 × 5. We have expressed 20 in the form 2m × 5n.
1/20 is in the simplest form and the denominator 20 is not equal to 0.
𝑝
Trational number which is expressed in the simplest form say 𝑞 (q ≠ 0) and q
can be expressed in the form 2m × 5n, then that rational number has a terminating
decimal expansion.
We have proved that 1/20 has a terminating decimal expansion and according to reason
statement, a rational number has a terminating decimal expansion. Therefore, it shows
that 1/20 is a rational number.
Chapter 2: Polynomials
Solution:
(a) (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
⇒ (10)2 = 60 + 2xy
⇒100 − 60 = 2xy
⇒2xy = 40
⇒xy = 20
Thus, the value of xy is 20.
(b) x3 + y3= (x + y)3 – 3xy(x + y)

x3 + y3 = (10)3 – 3 (20)(10)
= 1000 – 600
= 400
Thus, 400 studentsfrom school A joined the movement.
(Or)
Amount collected from each donor = x2 – y2
= (x + y)(x – y)
= 10 × 25
= 250
Total amount collected = 40 (x2 – y2) = 40 × 250 = 10000
Hence, the total amount collected is ₹ 10,000.
(c) The number of Neem saplings = x2 + 3xy + y2

= x2 + y2 + 3xy
= 60 + 3 × 20
= 120
The students from school C planted 120 Neem saplings.
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
In the expression 2x + 5, there are two non-zero terms, namely 2x and 5.
So, it is a binomial.
A polynomial containing two non-zero terms is called a binomial.

2x + 5 is a binomial as it has two non-zero terms.
2. Answer: d.
Explanation:
Substituting x = 0 in x2 − 3x, we get, 0 − 0 = 0.
Substituting x = 4 in x2 − 3x, we get, 16 − 12 = 4.
So, 4 is not the zero of the polynomial x2 − 3x.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is false.
Let p(x) be a polynomial.
If p(a) = 0, then we say that a is a zero of the polynomial p(x).
Hence, Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
3. Answer: a.
Explanation:
x – 2 = 0 ⇒x = 2.
Substituting x = 2 in x3 – 8, we get, 23 – 8 = 0.
Since, p(2) = 0, (x – 2) is a factor of x3 – 8.
Let p(x) be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1 and let a be any real
number. If p(a) = 0, then (x – a) is a factor of p(x).
Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry
Solution:
(a) The coordinates of housing complex are: (3, 3).
(b) The coordinates of the stadium are: (0, 10).

The coordinates of the town centre are (0, 0).
Both these places lie along the Y-axis.
The distance between these two places = 10 − 0 = 10 units.
As per the scale given, 1 unit (cm) = 200 m
10 units = 10 × 200 m = 2000 m = 2 km.
The stadium is 2 km away from the town centre.
OR
The coordinates of the school are (6, 7) and those of the library are (-4, 7).
Both these facilities have the same y-coordinate. So, they lie along the line parallel to
X -axis.
The distance between these two places = 6 – (– 4) = 10 units.
As per the scale given, 1 unit (cm) = 200 m
10 units = 10 × 200 = 2000 m = 2 km.
Ananya covers 2 km distance every day.
(c) The coordinates of the public garden are (7, 0).
1. Answer: d.
Explanation:
The distance of the point (4, 3) from the X-axis is 3 units. The distance of a point from
the X-axis is given by the point’s Y coordinate or ordinate.
So, Assertion (A) is false.
A point’s X-coordinate or abscissa is its perpendicular distance from the Y-axis which
is true.
Hence, Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
2. Answer: a.
Explanation:
The Y-coordinate or ordinate of (10, 0) is 0. So, the point (10, 0) lies on the X-axis.
If the ordinate is zero and the abscissa is positive, then that point lies on the positive X-
axis. So, Reason (R) is true.
Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
3. Answer: b.
Explanation:
For any point that lies in the fourth quadrant, the X coordinate is positive and the Y
coordinate is negative.
So, the point (4, –4) lies on the fourth quadrant.
Both X coordinate and Y coordinate of points that lie in the first quadrant are positive.
Therefore, Reason (R) is true.
Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct
Chapter 4: Linear Equations in Two Variables
Solution:
(a) Let the distance covered be x km and fare be ₹y.
As per the given information,
y = 5(x – 1) +12
⇒y = 5x + 7
(b) The graph will represent a straight line.
(c) Here, x = 18 km
As per the given information,
y = 5(x – 1) + 12
= 5(18 – 1) + 12
= 97
Hence, Rashmi paid ₹97 towards fare.
Or
Sumit's uncle paid ₹77 as fare.
So, y = 77
y = 5x + 7 ...[according to the given condition]
⇒ 77 = 5x+ 7
⇒ 5x = 70
⇒x = 14
Sumit and his uncle travelled 14 km.
1. Answer: d.
Explanation:
3x + 2y = 5
Substituting x = 0 and y = 0 in 3x + 2y = 5, we get,
3(0) + 2(0) = 0 ≠ 5.
So, the line 3x + 2y = 5 does not pass through the origin.
Hence, Assertion (A) is false.
A linear equation in which the constant term is 0, passes through the origin which is
true.
Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
2. Answer: a.
Explanation:
Substituting x = 0 in 6x + 3y = 18, we get, y = 6.
So, the line cuts the Y-axis at (0, 6).
The coordinates of the point where a line meets Y-axis is (0, y).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
3. Answer: c.
Explanation:
The graph of a linear equation of the form ax + by + c = 0 is a line. So, the graph of
3x + 2y – 8 is a line. Hence, Assertion (A) is true.
The equation of the form ax2 + by = c (a ≠ 0) is not a linear equation.

Its graph is not a line.
So, Reason (R) is false.

Hence, Assertion A is true but Reason R is false.
Chapter 5: Introduction to Euclid’s Geometry
Solution:
(a) Euclid assumed some properties which could not be proved. He classified them into
two groups. The assumptions specifically used for Geometry are called Postulates and
the assumptions which are used throughout in mathematics and not specifically in
Geometry are called Axioms.
(b) Euclid's fifth postulate: If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior
angles on the same side of it taken together less than two right angles, then the two
straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which the sum of angles is
less than two right angles.
If line segment AB is given, then draw an arc with centre A and radius AB. Draw
another arc with radius AB and centre B. Name the point of intersection of these two
arcs as C. By joining points A and C and B andC, we get triangle ABC. In this triangle,
AB = AC and AB = BC ...[radii of the same circle] By Euclid's axiom, the things
which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
(Or)
(c) In the figure, AB + BC coincide with AC.
According to Euclid's axiom (4) which states that the things that coincide with each
other are equal to one another.
From this it can be deduced that AB + BC =AC
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
According to Euclid’s postulate, a circle can be drawn with any centre and any radius.
So, it is possible to draw a circle with any point O as centre and radius 5 cm.
Euclid made certain some assumptions that were specific to Geometry. These are not
to be proved.
2. Answer: a.
Explanation:
According to Euclid’s axiom, if equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are
equal.
Here, AB = BC.
An equal quantity BD is subtracted from both sides. So, the remainders are equal.
So, AB – BD = BC – BD
Euclid made certain assumptions that were to be used throughout Mathematics. These
are not to be proved.
3. Answer: d.
Explanation:
According to Euclid’s postulate, a terminated line can be produced indefinitely.
So, a line segment of AB of 5 units can be produced indefinitely.
Euclid made certain assumptions that were specific to Geometry. These are not to be
proved.
Chapter 6: Lines and Angles
Solution:
(a) ∠GPDand ∠PFE are exterior angles of ∆PFG.
(b) Transversals to DFand CE are DC and FE.
(c) Given, ∠PGF = 25° (i)
Since DC ∥ FE
⇒∠PFG = ∠CDF = 90° (Alternate interior angles) (ii)
Since exterior angle of a triangle is equal to sum of opposite interior angles
⇒ 𝑎 = ∠DPG = ∠PGF + ∠PFG (from (i) and (ii))
⇒𝑎 = 25° + 90° = 115°
Thus, 𝑎 = 115°
(or)
Since DF ∥ CE
⇒ ∠FDC = ∠ECB = 90° (Corresponding angles)
⇒ ∠ACB + ∠ECB = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ ∠ACB + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 90°
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180° (Angle sum property of triangle)
⇒ 50° + 𝑏 + 90° = 180°
⇒ 𝑏 = 180° − 140° = 40°
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
120° + 60° = 180°.
Since the sum of 120° and 60° is 180°, 120° and 60° are supplementary angles.
Two angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180°.
2. Answer: d.
Explanation:
The sum of opposite interior angles of a triangle is equal to the exterior angle.
Here, the exterior angle is 140° and one of the interior angles is 85°.
So, the other interior angle = 140° − 85° = 55°.
The sum of opposite interior angles of a triangle is equal to the exterior angle.
Hence, Assertion (A) is false and reason (R) is true.
3. Answer: a.
Explanation:
Sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.
70° + 70° + 40° = 180°.
So, 70°, 70° and 40° can be the angles of a triangle.
Sum of angles of a triangle is 180° which is true.
Chapter 7: Triangles
Solution:
(a) Since PR = PS
⇒∠PRQ = ∠PSQ (angles opposite to the equal sides of a triangle are equal)(i)
In ∆PSQ,
∠PQS + ∠QPS + ∠PSQ = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)
⇒ 90° + 30° + ∠PSQ = 180°
⇒∠PSQ = 60°
∠PRQ = 60° (from (i))
(b) We know that ∠PRQ = 60° and ∠PQR = 90°.

90° + 60°+ ∠RPQ = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)
So, ∠RPQ = 180° − (90° + 60°) = 30°
(c) Consider ∆PQR and ∆ PQS.

PR = PS = 5 m
∠PQR = ∠PQS = 90°
PQ is common.
 ∆ PQR ≌ ∆ PQS by RHS congruence.
(Or)
In right-angled triangle PQR,

PQ2 + QR2 = PR2 ( By Pythagoras theorem)
⇒ PQ2 + 42 = 52
⇒ PQ2 + 16 = 25
⇒ PQ2 = 9
⇒ PQ = 3
 Length of the trunk is 3 m.
1. Answer: d.
Explanation:
In triangle ABC, AB = AC.
We know that angles opposite to equal sides are
equal in a triangle.
So, ∠C = ∠B = 50°.
We know that sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒∠A + 50° + 50° = 180°
⇒∠A = 80°
Angles opposite to equal sides are equal in a triangle.
2. Answer: a.
Explanation:
In triangle ABC, AC is the side opposite to angle B.
Since,∠B = 90°, the other two angles must be less than
90°.
So, ∠B is the largest angle.
Hence, AC is the longest side of the triangle.
We can also say that in a right-angled triangle,
hypotenuse is the longest side.
Here, AC is the hypotenuse. So, it is the longest side and it is opposite to angle B.
Side opposite to the largest angle of a triangle is the longest side.
3. Answer: c.
Explanation:
In ∆ABC and ∆DEF, ∠B = ∠E, ∠C = ∠F and BC = EF.
Since two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding
two angles and the corresponding included side of another triangle, the two triangles
are congruent by ASA congruence.
∆ABC ≅∆DEF.
If two angles and a side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a side of another
triangle, then the two triangles must be congruent.
The two triangles are congruent only if two angles and the included side of one triangle
are equal to the corresponding two angles and the corresponding included side of the
other triangle.
Hence, Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
Chapter 8: Quadrilaterals
Solution:
(a) In quadrilateral PQBA,
AB = PQ and AB ∥ PQ (Given)
If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is equal and parallel then the
quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Therefore, quadrilateral PQBA is a parallelogram.
(b) In quadrilateral QBCR,
QR = BC and QR ∥ BC (Given)
If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is equal and parallel then the
quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Therefore, quadrilateral QBCR is a parallelogram.
(b) We know that quadrilateral PQBA is a parallelogram ….. (from (a))
∴ PA = QB and PA ∥ QB ...(i)
(since opposite sides of parallelogram are parallel and equal)
Also, quadrilateral QBCR is a parallelogram. …… (from (b))
∴ RC = QB and RC ∥ QB(ii)
(since opposite sides of parallelogram are parallel and equal)
From (i) and(ii), PA = RC and PA ∥ RC
(or)
In ∆PQR and ∆ABC,
PQ = AB …(Given)
QR = BC …(Given)
PR = AC …(Given)
∴ ∆PQR ≅ ∆ABC (By SSS congruence rule)
1. Answer: d.
Explanation:
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
So, (5x + 7)o= (7x – 17)o
⇒ 2x = 24
⇒x = 12°
Hence, the measure of the angles is (5 × 12 + 7) = 67°
● Assertion (A) is true.
Sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°, which is true.
● Reason (R) is true.
Here, Assertion (A) explain about opposite angles whereas Reason (R) explain about
adjacent angles.
Hence, Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
2. Answer: d.
Explanation:
Sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
So, 63° + 122° + 57° + x° = 360°
⇒x = 118°
● Assertion (A) is false.
The sum of all the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360o.
● Reason (R) is true.
3. Answer: d.
Explanation:
In a square, measure of all angles is 90°. In a rhombus, all angles are not equal to each
other.
So, Assertion (A) is false.
In a rhombus, all sides are equal and opposite sides are parallel. In a square, all sides
are equal and opposite sides are parallel.
Chapter 9: Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles
Solution:
(a) Height of parallelogram = BR = 5 m
Base of parallelogram = DC = 15 m
Area of parallelogram =base × height
=15 × 5
= 75 sq. m
(b) AD∥ BC (since ABCD is a parallelogram)
Thus, AM ∥ BN (1)
AB ∥ MZ (by construction)
So, AB ∥ MN (2)
From (1) and (2), AMNB is a parallelogram.
Also, CD∥ MN (as AB ∥ CD)
Thus, CR ∥ NZ
∴ ∠ BZN = 90° (Corresponding angles)
Hence BZ is the height of parallelogram AMNB.
We know that if a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between same
parallel lines then area of triangle is half of area of parallelogram.
Since ∆APB and parallelogram AMNB have the same base.
1
Hence, area of the ∆APB =2 (Area of the parallelogram AMNB)
1
=2 (base × height)
1
=2 (AB × BZ)
1
=2 (CD × BZ) (since AB = CD as ABCD is a parallelogram )
1
=2 (15 ×3)
=22.5 sq. m
1
(c) To show that: ar (∆APB) + ar (∆PCD) = 2 ar (ABCD)
We have,
1
ar (∆APB)=2 ar (ABNM) ( proved in part (b) )
Similarly,
1
ar (∆PCD)= 2 ar (MNCD)
Now, the deeper section of the pool = ar (∆APB) + ar (∆PCD)
1 1
=2 ar (ABNM)+2 ar (MNCD)
1
=2 (ar (ABNM)+ ar (MNCD))
1
= 2 ar (ABCD)
(or)
1
We are given that the total area of deeper section of the pool = 2 ar (ABCD)
1
That is, ar (∆APB) + ar (∆PCD)=2 ar (ABCD). (i)
From the figure, we have

Area of parallelogram ABCD = Area of shallow regions + Area of deeper regions
=ar (∆APD) + ar (∆PBC) + ar (∆APB) + ar (∆PCD)
1
⇒ar (ABCD) =ar (∆APD) + ar (∆PBC)+2 ar (ABCD) …from(i)
1
⇒ar (ABCD) − 2 ar (ABCD) = ar (∆APD) + ar (∆PBC)
1
ar (ABCD) = ar (∆APD) + ar (∆PBC) (ii)
2
From (i) and (ii) we get,

ar (∆APB) + ar (∆PCD) = ar (∆APD) + ar (∆PBC)
Hence, total area of deep pool is equal to total area of shallow pool.
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
A rhombus is a parallelogram in which all sides are equal.
So, when a triangle and a rhombus are between the same base and same parallels, the
area of the rhombus is twice the area of the triangle.
If a triangle and a parallelogram are between the same base and same parallels, the area
of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram, which is true.
2. Answer: c.
Explanation:
AD is the median of the triangle.
We know that the median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.
So, area of ∆ADB = area of ∆ADC.
Median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area. So, Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
3. Answer: d.
Explanation:
Two parallelograms ABCD and ABCE are between the same base and same parallels.
So, area of parallelogram ABCD = area of parallelogram ABCE.
Therefore, the ratio of area of parallelogram ABCD: area of parallelogram
ABCE is 1: 1.
Two parallelograms between the same base and same parallels are equal in area, which
is true.
Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
Chapter 10: Circles
Solution:
(a) Given that PR = QS = 10 meters.
So, QS and PR are chords of equal length.
We know that the angles subtended by equal chords in a circle are equal.
Thus, ∠POR = ∠QOS
Therefore, ∠QOS = 120°
(b) Major arc: Arc PQS
Minor arc: Arc SR
(c) In ∆OXP, we have
R= 13 m, OX = 5 m
Also, ∠OXP = 90°
So, ∆OXP is a right triangle.
Thus, OP 2 = OX 2 + XP 2
⇒132 = 52 + XP 2
⇒169 = 25 + XP 2
⇒ XP 2 = 169 − 25 = 144
⇒XP =12
Now, PQ = 2 × XP (Since perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord)
= 2 ×12= 24
Hence, distance between pond and zoo is 24 metres.
(or)
In ∆OQS,
OQ = OS … (Radii of the same circle)
Therefore, ∆OQS is an isosceles triangle.
Now, ∠OQS + ∠OSQ + ∠QOS = 180° (Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°)
Also, ∠QOS = 120° (From (a))
⇒∠OQS + ∠OQS + 120° = 180°
Since angles opposite to equal sides are equal. So, ∠OQS = ∠OSQ)
Therefore, 2∠OQS + 120° = 180°
⇒∠OQS = 30°
1. Answer: d.
Explanation:
The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
Reason (R) is true.
Using the information given in the question, we can draw a circle as shown below.
In △ OMA, OM ⊥ AB
∴ OA2 = OM 2 + AM 2
⇒ 52 = 42 + AM 2
∴ AM = 3 cm
Since the chord is bisected by the perpendicular from the centre,
AM = MB = 3 cm
AB = AM + MB = 3 + 3 = 6 cm
Thus, Assertion (A) is false.
2. Answer: a.
Explanation:
Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
Reason (R) is true.
In rectangle ABCD,
AB = CD = 5 cm
BC = AD = 12 cm
∠BCD = ∠BAD = 90° …… (Angles of a rectangle)
In ΔBCD,
BD2 = BC2 + CD2

 BD2 = 122 + 52
 BD2 = 169
∴ BD = 13 cm
Thus, Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
3. Answer: c
Explanation:
𝜃
Area of sector= 360° × 𝜋𝑟 2
Reason (R) is false.

For a sector of angle 70°, in a circle of radius 6 cm,
70° 22
Area of the sector= 360° × × 62
7
● Area of the sector= 22 cm2

Thus, Assertion (A) is true.
Chapter 11: Constructions
Solution:
(a) Since RS is the perpendicular bisector of AB,so ∠RCB = 90°.
Since PC is the angle bisector of ∠RCA.
So, ∠PCR = 45° (Since ∠RCA = 90°).
∠ PCB = ∠PCR + ∠RCB
= 45° + 90° = 135°
(b) Yes. 67.5° can be constructed using a ruler and a pair of compasses.
We can construct 135° and bisect it.
(c)
(or)
Measure of the track = 10 cm. So, the length of the base of the triangle is 5 cm. Since all
angles are 60°, it is an equilateral triangle.
1. Answer: a
Explanation:
AB + BC = 7 + 8 = 15 > 14.
BC + AC = 8 + 14 = 22 > 7
AB + AC = 7 + 14 = 21 > 8
Since, the sum of two sides is greater than the third side, it is possible to draw the
triangle ABC.
So, Assertion (A) is true.
The sum of two sides should be greater than the third side for a triangle to be drawn,
which is true.
of Assertion (A).
2. Answer: b.
Explanation:
When we know two angles and the included side of a triangle, it is possible to draw the
triangle.
Here two angles X and Y and the included side XY are given. So, we can draw the
triangle XYZ using the given measures.
The sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°, which is true.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct
3. Answer: d.
Explanation:
It is not possible to draw a triangle when only three angles of a triangle are given.
Here, only three angles are given. So, it is not possible to draw the triangle with the
given measures.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is not true.
The sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°, which is true.
Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
Chapter 12: Heron’s Formula
Solution:
(a) For the triangular rice field,
a = 100 m, b = 100 m, and c = 160 m
𝑎+𝑏+𝑐 100+100+160 360
Semi-perimeter, 𝑠 = 2
= 2
= 2
= 180 m
∵Area of a triangle = √𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐)
∴ Area of the rice field = √180(180 − 100)(180 − 100)(180 − 160)

= √180 × 80 × 80 × 20
= 4800 m2
(b) ∵Area of the land = 2 × Area of the rice field

∴ Area of the land = 2 × 4800
⇒ Area of the land = 9600 m2
1
⇒ (d1 × d2 ) = 9600 m2
2
(Since area of a rhombus is equal to half of product of length of its diagonals)

⇒ 160 × d2 = 19200 m2
∴ d2 = 120 m
(c)
The red triangle is an equilateral triangular plot using the longer diagonal as the base.
Thus, side of the plot = 160 m
√3
Since, height of an equilateral triangle = ℎ = side × 2
√3
∴ ℎ = 160 × 2
⇒ ℎ = 80√3 m
Thus, height of equilateral triangular plot is 80√3 m.
1
Now, Area of equilateral triangular plot = 2 × base × height
1
= 2 × 160 × 80√3
= 6400√3m2
(or)
The green triangle is an isosceles triangular plot formed using the smaller diagonal as the base
and the remaining sides of length 50 m.
Length of the smaller diagonal = 60 m (Done in part (b))
Since diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
So, the green triangle is divided equally into two parts and each half triangle is a right-angled
triangle.
Thus, sides of these triangles are of length 30 m and hypotenuse 50 m.
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Height of the rightangled triangle)2 + (Side)2
2 2
⇒ 50 = (Height of the rightangled triangle) + 402
2
⇒ 2500 = (Height of the rightangled triangle) + 1600
2
⇒ (Height of the rightangled triangle) = 2500 − 1600
2
⇒ (Height of the rightangled triangle) = 900
∴ Height of the rightangled triangle = 30 m
1
Area of each rightangled triangle = × base × height
2
1
= × 40 × 30
2
= 600 m2
Area of the green triangle = 2 × Area of each rightangled triangle

= 2 × 600
= 1200 m2
1. Answer: c.
Explanation:
Area of a triangle = √𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐), where a, b, and c are the sides of the
triangle and s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle.
Thus, Reason (R) is false.
For the triangular park,
𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐
𝑠=

40 + 24 + 32
∴𝑠= = 48 m
2
Area of a triangle = √𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐)
= √48(48 − 40)(48 − 24)(48 − 32)

⸫ Area of the triangle = 384 m2.

Chapter 13: Surface Areas and Volumes
Solution:
(a) When the cone and the sphere were individually immersed in a container the volume
of water displaced was found to be same.
Thus, the volumes of the cone and the sphere are equal.
Since, the cone and the sphere are snugly fit in the cylinder. The radii of the cylinder,
the cone, and the sphere are the same, say r. Let the height of the cone be k.
Volume of the cone = Volume of the sphere
1 4
⇒ 3 π𝑟 2 𝑘 = 3 π𝑟 3
⇒ 𝑘 = 4𝑟
We can see that the height of cylinder is equal to the sum of the height of the cone and
the diameter of the sphere.
That is, Height of the cylinder = Height of the cone + Diameter of the sphere
⇒ 126 = 𝑘 + 2𝑟
⇒ 126 = 4𝑟 + 2𝑟
⇒ 126 = 6𝑟
⇒ 𝑟 = 21 cm
Thus, radius of the cylinder is 21 cm.

1 22
= × × 212 × 4 × 21
3 7
=38808
∴ Volume of the cone is 38808 cm3 .
(c) Volume(Empty Space) = Volume of the cylinder − (Volume of the cone +

Volume of the sphere)
∴ Volume(Empty Space) = Volume of cylinder − (2 X (Volume of sphere))
(Since volume of the cone and the sphere are equal)
4
∴ Volume(Empty Space) = π𝑟 2 ℎ − (2 × π𝑟 3 )

22 4 22
= × 212 × 126 − (2 × × × 213 )
7 3 7
= 174636 − 77616
= 97020 cm3
(Or)
Surface area of the sphere = 4π𝑟 2

22
=4× × 212
7
= 5544 cm2
Now,
Cost of antirust coating = Surface area of the sphere × Rate of the coating
= 5544 × 0.5
= 2772
Thus, cost of anti-rust coating to be added to the surface of the sphere at the
rate of ₹ 0.5/cm2 is ₹ 2772.
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
Volume of a cylinder = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ, where r is the radius and his the height.
Thus, Reason (R) is true.
Initial volume of the cylinder,
𝑉1 = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
After the radius is doubled and height is halved, final volume of the cylinder,
ℎ
𝑉2 = 𝜋(2𝑟)2 ( )
2
4𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
⇒ 𝑉2 =
2
⇒ 𝑉2 = 2𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
⇒ 𝑉2 = 2𝑉1
Thus, Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
2. Answer: c.
Explanation:
1
Volume of a cone = 3 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ, where r and h are the radius and height of the cone
respectively.
For the cone cut out from a cube of side a,
𝑎
Height = h = a and radius = r = 2
1 𝑎 2 1
● Volume of a cone= 𝜋 ( ) 𝑎= 𝜋𝑎3

3. Answer: d.
Explanation:
A hemisphere is a solid obtained by dividing a sphere in two equal parts. But a
hemisphere has two surfaces – one curved and other flat.
Thus, Reason (R) is true.
Total surface area of a hemisphere = curved surface area + area of the flat surface
= 2πr2 + πr2 = 3πr2
Chapter 14: Statistics
Solution:
(a) Largest observation in the given data is 48.
Smallest observation in the given data is 35.
Range = Largest observation – Smallest observation
= 48 – 35 = 13 kg
Sum of all the observations

(b) Mean = Total number of observations
831
∴ Mean weight = =41.55
20
⇒ Mean weight is 41.55 kg.

(or)
On arranging the data in ascending order, we get,
35, 36, 37, 37, 37, 37, 39, 39, 40, 40, 42, 43, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 48, 48
Since there are even number of observations,
𝑛 𝑛
( )th observation+( +1)th observation
2 2
Median = 2
10th observation+11th observation
∴ Median = 2
40 + 42
⇒Median= = 41

Median is 41 kg.
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
𝑛+1 𝑡ℎ
The median of n observations is ( ) term if n is odd. So, Reason(R) is true.
2
There are 9 observations given. So, the median is the 5th term.
● Median = x – 2 = 56
⇒x = 58
2. Answer: c.
Explanation:
If x1, x2, x3, …, xn, then the arithmetic mean of these values is given by
𝑥1 + 𝑥2 + 𝑥3 +⋯+ 𝑥𝑛
Arithmetic mean= 𝑛
Thus, the Reason (R) is false.

It is given that the mean of the given values is x.
𝑥1 + 𝑥2 + 𝑥3 + 𝑥4 + 𝑥5
● Mean = x ⇒ =𝑥

⇒ 12 + 28 + 33 + 47 + 4𝑥 = 5𝑥
⇒ 120 + 4𝑥 = 5𝑥
⇒ 𝑥 = 120
3. Answer: d.
Explanation:
Range = Highest observation – Lowest observation
Highest observation = 20
Lowest observation = 10
Range = 20 – 10 = 10
Chapter 15: Probability
Solution:
(a) Sample space, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
⇒n(S) = 6
Even numbers, E = {2, 4, 6}
⇒n(E) = 3
𝑛(E)
Probability of getting an even number = 𝑛(S)
3 1
⇒ P(Even) = 6 = 2
(b) Sample space, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

⇒n(S) = 6
Prime numbers, P = {2, 3, 5}
⇒n(P) = 3
𝑛(P)
Probability of getting a prime number = 𝑛(S)
3 1
⇒ P(Prime) = =2
6
(c) Two dice are thrown. So, sample space is:

S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
n(S) = 36
We can get the sum of numbers on the faces as 10 in the following ways:
E = {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}
n(E) = 3
𝑛(E)
Probability of sum of two faces is 10 = 𝑛(S)
3 1
⇒ P(E) = 36 = 12
(or)
Sample space, S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
n(S) = 36
Outcomes with same number on both the faces = A =
{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)}
n(A) = 6
𝑛(A)
Probability of getting the same number on both faces = 𝑛(S)
6 1
⇒ P(A) = =6
36
1. Answer: a.
Explanation:
Natural numbers less than 7 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
When a die is thrown, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
So, the probability of getting a natural number less than 7 when a die is rolled
once, is 1.
Probability of a certain event is 1, which is true.
of Assertion (A).
2. Answer: a.
Explanation:
There are 4 kings in the deck of playing cards consisting of 52 cards.
So, the probability of drawing a king is 4/52 = 1/13.
A deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards. It has 4 kings, one in each suite. There
are 4 suites in the deck of playing cards.
of Assertion (A).
3. Answer: d.
Explanation:
A coin is tossed once. There are two possible outcomes namely tail or head.
1
So, the probability of getting a tail is 2.

When a fair coin is tossed, we get either a head or a tail.
Hence, Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
