Solution
Section A
1. (d) origin
Explanation: The point of intersection of the x-axis and y-axis is called an origin.
Explanation: A chord AB subtends an angle of 60° at the centre of a circle with centre O.
for example: The probability of getting more than 6 when a die is thrown is an impossible event because the highest
number in a die is 6
Explanation: The distance of a point from the x-axis is the y (vertical) coordinate of the point and is called ordinate.
5. (a) coincident
Explanation: Given: a1 = 5, a2 = -10, b1 = -3, b2 = 6, c1 = 11 and c2 =-22
a1 = 5, a2 = -10, b1 = -3, b2 = 6, c1 = 11 and c2 = -22
a1 5 1 b1 −3 1 c1 11 1
Here, = = − , = = − , = = −
a2 − 10 2 b2 6 2 c2 − 22 2
a1 b1 c1
∵ a = b2
= c2
2
Therefore, the pair of given linear equations is coincident.
√
6. (c) 2 a 2 + b 2
Explanation: The distance between the points (a, b) and (-a, -b)
= √(− a − a) 2 + (− b − b) 2
= √4a 2 + 4b 2
= 2√ a 2 + b 2

P(E) + P(not E) = 1
∴ P(not E) = 1 - P(E)
= 1 - 0.05
= 0.95
8. (a) 10 cm
Explanation:
It is clear that the length of diagonal of a cube can be inscribed in a sphere is equal to the diameter of the circle AF.
∴ Length of diagonal = 2 × r
= 2 × 5
= 10 cm
9. (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.
10. (d) 13 and 14
Explanation: Let the one number be x. As the sum of numbers is 27, then the other number will be (27 - x)
According to question
x(27 - x) = 182
⇒ x - 13 = 0 and x - 14 = 0
x = 13 and x = 14
Now, the other number = 27 - 13 = 14 and 27 - 14 = 13
⇒ 2x + 1 = 0
−1
⇒ x =
2
Therefore, (x + 1)2 - x2 = 0 is a linear polynomial and has one real root.
12. (b) 2
∴ secθ = √1 + (√3 )2
= √1 + 3 = √4 = 2
13. (d) an irrational number
Explanation: The line of sight is the imaginary line drawn from the eye of an observer to the point in the object viewed
by the observer. The angle between the line of sight and the ground is called angle of elevation
16. (b) median
Explanation: The measure of central tendency that can be obtained graphically is Median. The median is less affected
by outliers and skewed data distribution i.e. when the distribution is not symmetrical.
17. (d) 2
Explanation: Since 7 + 3 = 10
The least prime factor of a + b has to be 2; unless a + b is a prime number greater than 2.
Suppose a + b is a prime number greater than 2. Then a + b must be an odd number
Suppose that 'a' is even. Then the least prime factor of a is 2; which is not 3 or 7. So 'a' can not be an even number nor
can b be an even number. Hence a + b can not be a prime number greater than 2 if the least prime factor of a is 3 and b is
7.
Explanation: Given: a1 = 9, a2 = 18, b1 = 3, b2 = 6, c1 = 12 and c2 =24
a1 9 1 b1 3 1 c1 12 1
Here, = = , = = , = =
a2 18 2 b2 6 2 c2 24 2
a1 b1 c1
∵ a = b2
= c2
2
Therefore, the lines are coincident.
19. (d) A is false but R is true.
3072
Explanation: 16
= 192 ≠ 162
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
There are 5 male fish out of which one male fish can be chosen in 5 ways.

Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;
a1 /a2 = 1/8
b1 /b2 = 1/8
c1 /c2 = 32/25
(Now we will factorize 1 in such a way that the product of factors is equal to -12 and the sum is equal to 1)

Hence verified.
24. We want to find coordinates of point A. AB is the diameter and coordinates of centerare (2, -3) and, coordinates of point
B are (1, 4).
Let coordinates of point A are (x, y). Using section formula, we get

2=
2
⇒ 4 = x + 1
⇒ x = 3
4+y
−3 =
2
⇒ 4 + y = −6
⇒ y =− 6 − 4 = −10
⇒ CD + BE = CF + BF = BC
Now AD = AC + CD = AC + CF
∴ AD + AE = AB + AC + BC
⇒ 2AD = AB + BC + AC
OR
Join OT.
∴ OT ⊥ PT
In the right ΔOTP

we have,

∴ A = 30 ∘
In △ABC, we have
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180 ∘
⇒ 30 ∘ + 90 ∘ + ∠C = 180 ∘
⇒ 120 ∘ + ∠C = 180 ∘
⇒ ∠C = 180 ∘ − 120 ∘ = 60 ∘

In △TSM, ∠T + ∠S + ∠M = 180o
∠P = ∠T, ∠Q = ∠S,
and ∠R = ∠M
