Class 10 - Mathematics

Basic Sample Paper - 04 (2022-23)

Solution

Section A
1. (c) Coordinate Geometry

Explanation: Coordinate Geometry is an algebraic tool for studying geometry.

2. (c) AB + CD = BC + AD

Explanation:

Property: If two tangents are drawn to a circle from one external point, then their tangent segments (lines joining the
external point and the points of tangency on circle) are equal.

By the above property,

AP = AS (tangent from A)

BP = BQ (tangent from B)

CR = CQ (tangent from C)

DR = DS (tangent from D)

Now we add above 4 equations,

AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS

⇒  AB + CD = BC + AD    [ ∵  AP + BP = AB, CR + DR = CD, AS + DS = AD, BQ + CQ = BC]

Hence, the right option is AB + CD = BC + AD

∴ x=4
4. (d) 2 units

Explanation: The distance from y-axis is equal to the x-coordinate, so distance = 2 units
5. (d) intersect only at a point

Explanation: A system of two linear equations in two variables is consistent, if their graphs intersect only at a point,
because it has a unique solution or they may coincide with each other giving infinite solutions.
6. (a) 8

d2 = (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2

Lets calculate the distance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

We have;

x1 = 0, x2 = 0

y1 = 6, y2 = - 2

d2 = (0 – 0)2 + ( - 2 - 6)2 

√
d =  (0) 2 + ( − 8) 2 

d = √64

d = 8 units

So, the distance between A (0, 6) and B (0, - 2) = 8

8. (b) 1 : √3

Explanation: Surface area of hemispherical part = surface area of conical part

⇒ 2πr 2 = πrl ⇒ 2r = l

⇒ 2r = √r2 + h2 ⇒ 4r2 = r2 + h2

r2 1
⇒ 3r 2 = h 2 ⇒ =

Explanation: In the equation x2 -ax + 1 = 0

a = 1, b = -a, c = 1

D = b2 -4ac = (-a)2 -4 × 1 × 1 = a2 - 4

Roots are distinct

11. (a) imaginary

Explanation:  D = (-6)2 - 4 × 2 ×  7 = (36 - 56) = -20 < 0.

So, the roots of the given equation are imaginary.

13. (d) 338

Explanation: HCF (26, 169) = 13

We have to find the value for LCM (26, 169)

We know that the product of numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM.

Therefore,

13(LCM) = 26(169)

26 ( 169 )
LCM =

13
LCM = 338
14. (b) 4

Explanation: The distance of the point P(-3,4) from the x-axis

= Y- coordinate of the point 

= 4 units
15. (c) remains unchanged

Explanation:

Let height of the tower be hmeters and distance of the point of observation from its foot be x meters and angle of
h
elevation be θ ∴ tanθ = ………(i)

x
10 11h 10 11x
Now, new height = h + 10% of h = h + h= And new distance = x + 10% of x = x + x= ∴
100 10 100 10
11h
10 h
tanθ = 11x
= x ……….(ii)

17. (a) 500

Explanation: It is given that the LCM of two numbers is 1200 .

We know that the HCF of two numbers is always the factor of LCM.

500 is not the factor of 1200.

So this cannot be the HCF.

18. (c) 4

Explanation: Condition for parallel lines is

a1 b1 c1
= ≠ …(i)

a2 b2 c2
Given lines,

3x + 2ky - 2 = 0 and

2x + 5y - 1 = 0;

Comparing with standard form,

Here, a1 = 3, b1 = 2k, c1 = - 2

19. (d) A is false but R is true.

Explanation: Remainder is less than by divisor not by divident.

20. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation: We know that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle then it divides the other two sides in the same
ratio. This is the Basic Proportionality theorem.

So, Reason is correct.

DB = 10.8 - 6.3 = 4.5 cm and AE = 9.6 - 4 = 5.6 cm

AD 6.3 63 7 AE 5.6 56 7
Now,  = = =  and  = = =

DB 4.5 45 5 EC 4 40 5

By Converse of Basic Proportionality theorem, DE||BC

So, Assertion is correct.

But reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).

22. Let the present age of Aftab and his daughter be x and y years respectively. Then, the pair of linear equations that
represent the situation is

x - 7 = 7(y - 7), i.e., x - 7y + 42 = 0 ...(1)

and x + 3 = 3(y + 3), i.e., x - 3y = 6 ...(2)

from equation (2), we get x = 3y + 6

By putting this value of x in equation (1), we get

(3y + 6) -7y + 42 = 0,

i.e., -4y = -48, which gives y = 12

Again by putting this value of y in equation (2), we get

x = 3 × 12 + 6 = 42

So, the present age of Aftab and his daughter are 42 and 12 years  respectively.

OR

We have,

2x - y =4 ..................(i)

y - z =6 ..................(ii)

x - z =10 ................(iii)

From equation (iii), we get z = x - 10

Substituting the value of z in equation (ii), we get

y - (x-10)=6

⇒  y - x + 10 = 6

⇒  -x + y = 6 - 10

⇒ -x + y= -4 ...............(iv)

Adding equations (i) and (iv), we get

(2x - y) +(-x + y)  =4 + (-4)

⇒  2x - y - x + y = 0

⇒  x = 0

Putting x = 0 equation in (i) and (iii) we get

2x - y =4

⇒2(0) - y = 4

⇒ y = -4

 And  x - z =10

⇒ 0 - z = 10

⇒z = -10

So, y = -4 and z = -10

Hence, x = 0, y = -4 , z = -10 is the solution of the given system of equations.

23. The given quadratic equation is 4s2 - 4s + 1

= (2s)2 - 2(2s)1 + 12

As, we know (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2, the above equation can be written as

= (2s - 1)2

1 1
The value of 4s2 − 4s + 1 is zero when 2s − 1 = 0, when, s = ,

25. Given,

AR = 4 cm.

Also, AR = AQ  ⇒  AQ = 4cm

Now, QC = AC − AQ

= 11cm − 4cm = 7cm ...(i)

Also, BP = BR

∴  BP = 3 cm and PC = QC

∴  PC = 7 cm [From (i)] BC = BP + PC = 3cm + 7cm = 10cm

OR

From Figure,

OT = 3 cm, OP = 5 cm [given]

Since, the radius of the circle is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.

∴ ∠OTP = 90o

In right triangle OTP, OP is hypotenuse,

∴  OP2 = OT2 + TP2 [By Pythagoras theorem]

⇒  TP2 = OP2 - OT2 

⇒   TP2 = (5)2 - (3)2 = 25 - 9 = 16

⇒  TP = √16 = 4

Hence, the length of the tangent is 4 cm.

26.

In,△OPQ by Pythagoras theorem

OQ2 = OP2 + PQ2

⇒ (PQ + 1) 2 = OP 2 + PQ 2 [ ∵ OQ − PQ = 1 ⇒ OQ = 1 + PQ]

⇒ PQ 2 + 2PQ + 1 = 7 2 + PQ 2

⇒ 2PQ + 1 = 49

⇒ 2PQ = 48

⇒ PQ = 24 cm

∴ OQ − PQ = 1cm  ⇒ OQ - 24 = 1  ⇒  OQ = 25 cm

∴  x = 0, y = 0

Hence the solution of given equation is (0,0).

Since a and b are integers,

a 3
We get  −  is rational, also so √5 is rational.

2b 2
But this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational.

This contradiction arose because of our incorrect 

assumption that 3 + 2√5 is rational.

So, we conclude that 3 + 2√5 is irrational.

30. Let O be the common centre of the two concentric circles.

Let AB be a chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller circle at P.

Join OP and OA

Then, ∠OPA = 90o [ ∵The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to th radius through the point of contact]

∴  OA2 = OP2 + AP2 ....... By Pythagoras theorem

⇒  (5)2 = (3)2 + AP2

⇒  25 = 9 + AP2

⇒ P2  = 25 - 9

⇒  AP2  = 16

⇒  AP = √16  = 4 cm

SInce the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord, therfore,

AP = BP = 4 cm

∴  AB = AP + BP = AP + AP = 2AP = 2(4) = 8 cm

Hence, the required length is 8 cm.

OR

Construction : Join OA and OC.

∠AEC = ∠DEB ....(vertically opposite angles)

In ΔOAE and ΔOCE,

OA = OC ...(Radii of the same circle)

OE = OE ...(Common side)

∠OAE = ∠OCE ....(each is 90°)

⇒ ΔOAE ≅ ΔOCE ....(RHS congruence criterion)

⇒ ∠AEO = ∠CEO ....(cpct)

Similarly, for the circle with centre O',

∠DEO ′ = ∠BEO ′

Now, ∠AEC = ∠DEB

1 1
⇒ ∠AEC = ∠DEB

2 2
⇒ ∠AEO = ∠CEO = ∠DEO ′ = ∠BEO ′

Hence, all the fours angles are equal and bisected by OE and O'E.

So, O, E and O' are collinear.

31. Let PQ be the tower of height H m and an angle of elevation of the top of tower PQ from point X is 60°. The angle of
elevation at 40 m vertical from point X is 45°.

Let PQ = H m and SX = 40m. QX = x, ∠PST = 45o, ∠PXQ = 60o,

Here we have to find height of tower

The corresponding figure is as follows

We use trigonometric ratios.

In △PST

h
⇒  tan 45o =  x

h
⇒  1 = 

x
⇒  x = h

Again in △PXQ

h + 40
⇒  tan 60o =  x

h + 40
⇒  √3 = x

⇒  h + 40 = √3h

⇒  h (√3 − 1) = 40

40
⇒  h = 

√3 − 1
⇒  h = 54.64

Therefore H = 54.64 + 40

⇒  H = 94.64

Hence the height of tower is 94.64 m.

32. Let the altitude of the triangle = x cm

base = (2x+8) cm

area = 480 sq cm

1
× base × altitude = 480

2
⇒ x(2x+8)= 2 ×480

⇒ 2x2 + 8x - 960=0

⇒ x2 + 4x - 480 = 0

⇒ x2 + 24x - 20x - 480 = 0

⇒ x(x + 24) -20(x + 24) = 0

⇒ (x + 24)(x - 20) = 0

⇒ x + 24 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

⇒ x = -24 or x = 20

Length never negative so value of x = 20

base = 2x + 8= 2(20) + 8 = 48 cm

By Pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse2 = base2 + altitude2

= (48)2 + (20)2

= 2304 + 400

= 2704

hypotenuse = 52

Three sides of a triangle are 48cm,20cm and 52cm

OR

Let base = x

Altitude = y

Hypotenuse = h

According to question,

h = x + 2

h = 2y + 1

⇒ x + 2 = 2y + 1

⇒ x + 2 - 1 = 2y

⇒ x - 1 = 2y

x−1
⇒ = y

2
And x2 + y2 = h2

⇒ x2 + ( )x−1 2
2
= (x + 2) 2

⇒ x2 - 15x + x - 15 = 0

⇒ x2 - 15x + x - 15 = 0

⇒ (x - 15)(x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = 15 or x = -1

Base = 15 cm

x+1
Altitude = = 8cm

2
Height, h = 2 × 8 + 1 = 17cm

Given : In ΔABC and ΔPQR  The AD and PM are their medians,

AB AD AC
such that  = =

PQ PM PR
To prove : ΔABC ∼ ΔPQR

Construction : Produce AD to E such that AD = DE and produce PM to N such that PM = MN. Join CE and RN.

Proof : In ΔABD and ΔEDC 

AD = DE 

∠ADB = ∠EDC (vertically opposite angles)

BD = DC(as AD is a median)  

∴ ΔABD ≡ ΔEDC (By SAS congruency)

or, AB = CE (By CPCT)

Similarly, PQ = RN  

AB AD AC
= =  (Given)

PQ PM PR
CE 2AD AC
or,  RN = 2PM PR
=

CE AE AC
or  RN = PN
= PR

So  ∆ ACE ∼ ∆ PRN 

∠3 = ∠4

Similarly ∠1 = ∠2 

∠1 + ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4

So ∠A = ∠P and 

AB AC
PQ

(given)
Hence  ∆ ABC ∼ ∆ PQR

Let the radii of the two circlular plots be r1 and r2, respectively.

Then, r1 + r2 = 14 [ ∵ Distance between the centres of two circlular plots = 14 cm,given]....(i)

Also, Sum of Areas of the plots = 130π

2 2 2 2
∴ πr 1 + πr 2 = 130π ⇒ r 1 + r 2 = 130...(ii)

Now, from equation (i) and equation (ii),

2
⇒ (14 − r 2) 2 + r 2 = 130

2
⇒ 196 − 2r 2 + 2r 2 = 130

2
⇒ 66 − 2r 2 + 2r 2 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation we get,

r2 = 3 or r2 = 11,

but from figure it is clear that, r1 > r2

∴ r1 = 11 cm and r2 = 3 cm

36. i. Total volume = volume of cuboid +   × volume of cylinder.

For cuboidal part we have

length = 15 m, breadth = 7 m and height = 8 m

∴ Volume of cuboidal part = l ×  b ×  h  = 15 × 7 × 8m 2 = 840m 3

Clearly,

r = Radius of half-cylinder = (Width of the cuboid) = m

Thus the volume of the air that the shed can hold = (840 + 288.75) m3 = 1128.75 m3
ii. Total space occupied by 20 workers = 20 × 0.08m 3 =  = 1.6 m3

Total space occupied by the machinery = 300 m3

∴ Volume of the air inside the shed when there are machine and workers inside it

= (1128.75 - 1.6 - 300) m3

= (1128.75 - 301.6) m 3 = 827.15 m3

Hence, volume of air when there are machinery and workers is 827.15
iii. Given for the cuboidal part

length L = 15 m, Width B = 7 m, Height = 8 m

Surface area of the cuboidal part

= 2(LB + BH + HL)

= 2(15 ×  7 + 7 ×  8 + 8 ×  15)

= 2(105 + 56 + 120) = 2 ×  281 = 562 m2

For the cylindrical part r = 3.5 cm and l = 15 m

Thus the surface area of the cylindrical part
