5. At a Ramzan Mela, a stall keeper in one of the food stall has
a large cylindrical vessel of base radius 18 cm filled up to a
height of 16cm in with orange juice. The juice is filled in small
cylindrical glasses of radius 3 cm upto the height of 4 cm and
sold for rupees 12 each. How much money does the stall
keeper receive by selling the juice completely?
6. Side QR of Δ PQR is produced to a point S as shown in the
figure. The bisector of ∠P meets QR at T. Prove that
∠PQR + ∠PRS = 2∠PTR
7. If the polynomials 2 x3 + a x2 + 3x -5 and
x3 + x2 − 4 x + a leave the same remainder when divided
by x – 2 , then find the value of a .
8. ​In the given figure, △PQR is an equilateral triangle with
coordinates of Q and R as (0,5) and (0, -5) respectively.
Find the coordinates of vertex P.

9.Line l is the bisector of an angle ∠A and B is any point

on l. BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to the arms of
∠A. Show that: B is equidistant from the arms of ∠A.
10. If 25​x - 1​ = 5​2x - 1​ - 100, then the find the value of x.

​ ​SECTION C
​( 4 Marks each)
11.​ Water tank is getting filled up by water flowing at the rate
of 15 cubic cm/sec .If the volume of water filled in y seconds is
x cubic centimetre .Write the linear equation in two variables to
represent this situation. Draw a graph for the equation formed
and hence find the volume of water filled in 9 seconds.
12.​To mark India’s Independence Day, a ceremony in
Kashmir was organised by hoisting the national flag and
singing of patriotic songs along with the exchange of
sweets and greetings. During the lunch break, 21 students
shared an ice-cream brick.

4 cm radius, find the volume of ice cream taken by each
one of them.
ii) If the dimensions of ice-cream brick are 16cm x 8cm x
22 cm , find the volume of ice-cream brick.
iii) How much volume of ice cream is left?
