SAMPLE PAPER - 4 Class 10 - Science ‘Time Allowed: 3 hours General Instructions: 1. This question paper consists of 39 questions in 5 sections. 2. All questions are compulsory. However, an internal choice is provided in some questions. A student is expected to attempt only one of these questions. Section A consists of 20 objective type questions carrying 1 mark each. . Section B consists of 6 Very Short questions carrying 02 marks each. Answers to these questions should in the range of 30 to 50 words. Section C consists of 7 Short Answer type questions carrying 03 marks each. Answers to these questions should in the range of 50 to 80 words Section D consists of 3 Long Answer type questions carrying 05 marks each. Answer to these questions should be in the range of 80 to 120 words. . Section E consists of 3 source-based/case-based units of assessment of 04 marks each with sub-parts Section A ‘A current of 1 A is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb. Number of electrons passing through a cross section [1] of the filament in 16 seconds would be roughly a) 1023 b) 10'6 ©) 1018 & 10% ‘The number of pair (s) of sex chromosomes in the zygote of humans is, a) two b) one ©) three @ four ‘The xylem in plants are responsible for: a) transport of amino acids b) transport of oxygen ©) transport of food 4) transport of water An electron enters a magnetic field at right angles to it, a shown in Fig. The direction of force acting on the electron will befe a a (g) 2 HgO +Heat + 21g () + Op(8)ii) a. This reaction will take place as Zn is more reactive than Cu, so Zn will displace Cu from its salt CuSO and will form colourless ZnSO, solution and reddish brown particles Cu, », This reaction will not occur as Fe is less reactive than Zn, so it will nat be able to displace Zn from ZnSO, OR Let the atomic mass of alkal! metal A be x. According tothe question, the metal A reacts with water and forms a compound B of ‘molecular mass 40. 2A+ 21,0 > 24OH + Hat According to the question, x+16+1=40 x= 4017 = 23 and, 23s the atomic mass of sodium(Na). Therefore, the alkali metal (A) fs Na and the reaction is writen below: 2Na(a) + 2H20() + 2NaOH (oa) + Hla) o) ‘So, Compound B is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminium oxide (41,03) to give sodium aluminate (NaAIO}) AlzO3(s) + 2NaOH(0q) + 2NaAtO;(ag) + H(t) 2 © ‘Thus, compound C is sodium aluminate (NaAIO2) J. Kidneys are located in the abdomen, one on either side of the backbone. iL, The excretory system removes the poisonous waste substances from the body in the form of urine and maintains ionic balance called osmoregulation. Ii, Urine produced in the kidneys passes through the ureters into the urinary bladder where It is stored until Iti released through the urethra 4, During filtration, the substance like glucose, amino acids, salts, water, urea, etc. present inthe blood pass into Bowman's ‘capsule and then enter the tubule of the nephron. +. The waste substances like urea, some unwanted salts and excess water remain behind in the tubule witich forms the yellowish liquid called urine oR Liver isthe largest gland in human beings. Its main functions are as follows: (O It secretes bile juice which makes the medium ofthe food alkaline and also emulstfies fat. (i) Iestores the excess of glucose in the form of glycogen. (lil) Old worn-out RBCS are broken down in liver cells, Thelr haemoglobin Is changed into bile pigments. (iv) The ammonia is produced as a result of metabolism of amino acids in the liver. Its highly toxic. The ammonia combines with C02 and is converted into urea (less toxic). (0) It stores vitamins, iron and copper. (vi It produces heparin which does not allow the clotting of blood inside the blood vessels, (vil) RBCs are produced atthe foetus stage by the liver. . 7 I 7 cine saws Di Cane (DE).

() In series combination, Rs = Ry +Rz +Rz=R+R+R=3R, (iy The equivalent resistance is whete the total sistance s connected ether n pall om serie. Resistance of each wire= 2 =59 Equivalent resistance n sees R=5+5+5+5=202 Allare in series, R,=5R=5 x 2= 100 38, Read the text carefully and answer the questions: ‘You must have noticed many dramatic changes in your appearance as wel as that of your friends as you approached 10-12 years ‘of age. These changes associated with puberty are because of the secretion of testosterone in males and oestrogen in females. Do ‘you know anyone in your family or friends who has been advised by the doctor to take less sugar in their diet because they are suffering from diabetes? As a treatment, they might be taking injections of insulin. This is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. (i Pancreas isa dual gland because it acts as both an endocrine and exocrine gland. As endocrine, it secretes hormones like insulin, glucagon, As an exocrine gland, it releases enzymes like trypsin, lypase, amylase etc. (li) Testosterone in males and oestrogen in females is the hormone that is secreted during adolescence. (Giff Insulin is not secreted in the proper amount then it causes diabetes. oR ‘Glucagon and Insulin are secreted from alpha and beta cells of islets of the pancreas respectively. 39, Read the text carefully and answer the questions: ‘Salt ofa strong acid and strong base is neutral with a pH value of 7. NaCl common salt is formed by a combination of hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide solution. This isthe salt that is used in food. Some salt is called rock salt, bed of rock salt ‘was formed when seas of bygone ages dried up. The common salt thus obtained is an important raw material for various materials of daily use, such as sodium hydroxide, baking soda, washing soda, and bleaching powder. (i) Carbonic acid does not form an acidic salt. (li) Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, isa chemical compound with the formula NaHICO3, (Gii{Ca(OH), treatment with chlorine to obtain bleaching powder, Ca{OH)2 + Cl + Ca0Cly + HO oR ‘Washing soda is used for removing the permanent hardiness ofthe water.
