SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS MAX. MARKS : 40
CLASS : X DURATION: 2 HRS
General Instructions:
1. The question paper consists of 14 questions divided into 3 sections A, B, C.
2. Section A comprises of 6 questions of 2 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in two
questions.
3. Section B comprises of 4questions of 3 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in one
question.
4. Section C comprises of 4 questions of 4 marks each. An internal choice has been provided in
one question. It contains two case study based questions.

SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 6 carry 2 marks each.
1. In the following, if PQ = 28 cm, then find the perimeter of ΔPLM.

Ans: ∵ PQ = PT
⇒ PL + LQ = PM + MT
⇒ PL + LN = PM + MN (∵ LQ = LN, MT = MN) (Tangents to a circle from a common point)
Perimeter (∆PLM) = PL + LM + PM
= PL + LN + MN + PM
= 2(PL + LN) = 2(PL + LQ) = 2 × 28 = 56 cm

2. Sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m2. If the difference of their perimeters is 24 m, formulate
the quadratic equation to find the sides of the two squares.
Ans: Let the length of each side of a square be x m.
Then, its perimeter is 4x m.
It is given that the difference of the perimeters of two squares is 24 m.
∴ Perimeter of second square = (24 + 4x) m
24  4 x
⇒ Length of each side of second square =  6 x
4
It is given that the sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m2.
∴ x2 + (6 + x)2 = 468 ⇒ x2 + (36 + 12x + x2) = 468
⇒ 2x2 + 12x – 432 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 6x – 216 = 0
This is the required quadratic equation.

3. From a solid right circular cylinder of height 14 cm and base radius 6 cm, a right circular cone of
same height and same base removed. Find the volume of the remaining solid.
Ans: Given, Height (h) = 14 cm, Base radius (r) = 6 cm
Volume of the remaining solid
= Volume of a right circular cylinder – Volume of a right circular cone

OR
A solid is in the shape of a cone surmounted by a hemisphere, the radius of each of them being 3.5
cm and the total height of solid is 9.5 cm. Find the volume of the solid.
Ans: Radius of cone (r) = Radius of hemisphere (r)= 3.5 cm
Total height of solid = 9.5 cm
∴ Height of cone (h) = 9.5 – 3.5 = 6 cm
Volume of solid = Volume of cone + Volume of hemisphere

4. Compute the mode for the following frequency distribution:

Size of items (in cm) 0 – 4 4 – 8 8 – 12 12 – 16 16 – 20 20 – 24 24 – 28
Frequency 5 7 9 17 12 10 6
Ans: Here, modal class = 12 – 16
∴ l = 12, f1 = 17, f0 = 9, f2 = 12 and h = 4
f1  f 0 17  9 8 4
Mode  l   h  12   4  12   12  2.46  14.46
2 f1  f 0  f 2 34  9  12 13

5. The first and the last terms of an A.P. are 8 and 65 respectively. If the sum of all its terms is 730,
find its common difference.
Ans: Let a and d be the first term and common difference respectively of the A.P.
Given, a = 8 and l = 65 = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 65 = 8 + (n – 1)d ⇒ 57 = (n – 1)d ...(i)
n
Also, Sn = 730 ⇒ (a  l )  730
2
⇒ n[8 + 65] = 1460
⇒ n = 1460/73 = 20
Putting value of n in (i), we get 57 = (20 – 1)d
⇒ 57 = 19d ⇒ d = 3

n(n  3)
6. A polygon of n sides has diagonals. How many sides a polygon has with 54 diagonals?
2
n(n  3)
Ans: Given, when number of sides is n, then the number of diagonals is
2
It is given that the number of diagonals = 54

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 2-

 n(n  3)
⇒ = 54 ⇒ n2 – 3n = 108
2
⇒ n2 – 3n – 108 = 0 ⇒ n2 – 12n + 9n – 108 = 0
⇒ n(n – 12) + 9(n – 12) = 0 ⇒ (n – 12)(n + 9) = 0
⇒ n = 12 or n = –9 ⇒ n = 12
(∵ n ≠ –9, as number of sides cannot be negative)
∴ The number of sides of the polygon is 12.
OR
For what values of k, the given quadratic equation 9x2 + 6kx + 4 = 0 has equal roots?
Ans: Given, 9x2 + 6kx + 4 = 0.
Comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get a = 9, b = 6k, c = 4 1
Since, Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac
For equal roots, D = 0 we have b2 – 4ac = 0 ⇒ (6k)2 – 4 × 9 × 4 = 0
⇒ 36k2 – 144 = 0 ⇒ 36k2 = 144 ⇒ k2 = 4 ⇒ k = ± 2

8. The ratio of the length of a vertical rod and the length of its shadow is 1 : √3 . Find the angle of
elevation of the Sun at that moment?
Ans: Let AB be a vertical rod and BC be its shadow.

From the figure, ∠ACB = θ.

AB 1  AB 1 
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°, tan    tan     
BC 3  BC 3
 tan   tan 300    300
Hence, the angle of elevation of the Sun is 30°.

9. Draw a line segment of length 6 cm. Using compasses and ruler, find a point P on it which divides
it in the ratio 3 : 4.
Ans: Steps of construction:
Step-I : Draw a line segment AB of length 6 cm and draw a ray AX making an acute angle with
this line segment AB.
Step-II : Locate 7 points, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 on AX such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 and so
on.
Step-III : Join BA7.
Step-IV : Through the point A3, draw a line parallel to BA7 intersecting AB at point P.
Thus, P is the point that divides line segment AB of length 6 cm in the ratio 3 : 4.

OR

 Step-I : Draw a circle of radius 5 cm with centre O.
Step-II : At O construct radii OA and OB such that ∠AOB = 120°.
Step-III : Draw perpendiculars at A and B such that these perpendiculars intersect at P.
Hence, PA and PB are required tangents.

SECTION – C
Questions 11 to 14 carry 4 marks each.

11. A solid is in the shape of a cone mounted on a hemisphere of same base radius. If the curved
surface areas of the hemispherical part and the conical part are equal, then find the ratio of the
radius and the height of the conical part.
Ans: Let ABC be a cone, which is mounted on a hemisphere.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 5-

 Given, OC = OD = r cm
Curved surface area of the hemispherical part = 2πr2
Slant height of a cone, l  r 2  h 2
and curved surface area of a cone = πrl = πr r 2  h 2
According to the problem, 2πr2 = πr r 2  h 2 ⇒ πr = r 2  h 2
on squaring both of the sides, we get 4r2 = h2 + r2
⇒ 4r2 – r2 = h2 ⇒ 3r2 = h2
r2 1 r 1
 2   
h 3 h 3
Hence, the ratio of the radius and the height of conical part = 1 : √3.
OR
Water is flowing at the rate of 2.52 km/h through a cylindrical pipe into a cylindrical tank, the
radius of whose base is 40 cm. If the increase in the level of water in the tank, in half an hour is
3.15 m, find the internal diameter of the pipe.
2.52 1000 100
Ans: Rate of flow of water = 2.52 km/h = = 70 cm/s
60  60
In 1s, water flows = 70 cm
In 30 min, water flows = 70 × 30 × 60 cm = 126000 cm = h1 (say)
Let internal radius of pipe = r1
Height of water level in the tank in half an hour, h2 = 3.15 × 100 = 315 cm
Radius of tank, r2 = 40 cm
Volume of water flows from the cylindrical pipe in half an hour = Volume of water in cylindrical
tank
40  40  315
  r12 h1   r2 2 h2  r12 126000  40  40  315  r12   4  r1  2cm
126000
∴ Internal diameter of pipe = 2r1 = 4 cm

12. Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.

Ans: Let ABCD be a parallelogram such that its sides touch a circle with centre O.
We know that the tangents to a circle from an exterior point are equal in length.
Therefore, we have AP = AS (Tangents from A) ... (i)
BP = BQ (Tangents from B) ... (ii)
CR = CQ (Tangents from C) ... (iii)
And DR = DS (Tangents from D) ... (iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we have
(AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
AB + CD = AD + BC
AB + AB = BC + BC (∵ABCD is a parallelogram, ∴ AB = CD, BC = DA)
2AB = 2BC ⇒ AB = BC
Thus, AB = BC = CD = AD
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
