SECTION A
1.(c) a3b2
Explanation: Given that, p = ab2 = a × b × b
And q= a3b = a × a × a × b
LCM of p and q= LCM (ab2, a3b)
= a × b × b × a × a
= a3b2 ...
[Since, LCM is the product of the greatest power of each prime factor
involved in the numbers]
Caution
 Students usually make mistakes while calculating prime factors. They should always start
with the lowest prime number.

2. (c) 3
Explanation:
The number of zeroes of a polynomial is equal to the number of points at
which graph of the polynomial cut the x-axis.
Here, graph of P(x) cuts x-axis at three points, namely, A, B and C. So,
number of zeroes of P(x) is three.

Here, a1 = 1, b1 = 2, c1 = – 3
a2 = 5 b2 = k, c2 = 7

So, = ↑

i.e., k = 10
4. (b) –m, m + 3

x2 – 3x – m(m + 3) = 0

.30/1/1 1 P.T.O.
 Þ x2 – [(m + 3) – m]x – m(m + 3) = 0
Þ x2 – (m + 3) x + mx – m (m + 3) = 0
Þ x[x – (m + 3)] + m [x – (m + 3)] = 0
Þ (x + m) [x – (m + 3)] = 0
Þ x = –m, (m + 3)
5.(c) 7
Explanation: Let d be the common difference of the two A.P.’s and a1 be
the first term of the first A.P. and A1 be the first term of the second A.P.
Now, a1 = –1, A1 = –8
We know that, an = a + (n – 1)d
\ a4 = a1 + (4 – 1)d
= a + 3d = –1 + 3d
A4 = A1 + (4 – 1)d
= –8 + 3d
Now, the difference between their 4th terms will be
|a4 – A4| = (–1 + 3d) – (–8 + 3d)
= –1 + 3d + 8 – 3d
= 7
Hence, the required difference is 7.
6.(b)12 units
Explanation: Let A(0, 4), O(0, 0) and B(3, 0) be the vertices of DAOB.
Using distance formula, we get
OA = ( 0 − 0 )2 + ( 4 − 0 )2 = 16 = 4 units

OB = ( 3 − 0 )2 + ( 0 − 0 )2 = 9 = 3 units

AB = ( 3 − 0 )2 + ( 0 − 4 )2 = 9 + 16 = 25

= 5 units

\ Perimeter of DAOB = OA + OB + AB
= 4 + 3 + 5
= 12 units
Thus, the required perimeter of the triangle is 12 units.

Explanation: Since A and B lie on the circle having centre O.
Therefore, OA = OB
( 4 − 2 )2 + ( 3 − 3 )2 = ( x − 2 )2 + ( 5 − 3 )2

2 = ( x − 2) + 4

In DAOD and DCOB,
ÐOAD = ÐOCB [alternate angles]
ÐODA = ÐOBC [alternate angles]
ÐAOD = ÐBOC [vertically opposite angles]
We know that AAA similarity criterion states that in two triangles, if
corresponding angles are equal, then their corresponding sides are in the
same ratio and hence the two triangles are similar.

A

According to the question,

Radius of circle, AO = OC = 5 cm
AE = 8 cm
AE = AO + OE
⇒ OE = AE – AO
⇒ OE = (8 – 5) = 3 cm
Now, ∠OAX = ∠BAX = 90°
[Tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through
the point of contact]
Also, CD || XY meets AB at E, so we have
90° + ∠AEC = 180°
⇒ ∠AEC = 90°
⇒ ∠OEC = 90°
By Pythagoras theorem, in DOEC,
OC2 = OE2 + EC2
⇒ (5)2 = (3)2 + (EC)2
⇒ EC2 = 25 – 9 = 16
⇒ EC = 4
Also, CE = ED
[since, perpendicular from centre to the chord bisects the chord]
⇒ CD = 2 × EC = 8 cm
Concept Applied
 Perpendicular from centre to the chord bisects the chord.

Total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

Distance covered is xy km
If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced

Detailed Answer :
Given: The height of the cylinder is 1.45 m and its radius is 30 cm.
Let h be height of the cylinder, and r the common radius of the cylinder
and hemisphere. Then,
The total surface area of the bird-bath = CSA of cylinder + CSA of
hemisphere + Area of the circle in bottom
= 2prh + 2pr2

Put the value ‘a’ in equation (i), we get

Hence, the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ are 8 and 7.

SECTION E
36. (A) Since each row is increasing by 10 seats,
so it is an AP with first term a = 30, and
common difference d = 10.
So number of seats in 10th row

Rejecting the negative value, n = 15

S10= [2  30  (10  1)10]

So, the number of seats still required to be put are 1500 – 750 = 750
(C) If no. of rows = 17
then the middle row is the 9th row

Clearly WXOP is a rectangle
Point of intersection of diagonals of a rectangle is the mid point of the

diagonals. So the required point is mid point of WO or XP =  , 

So , y = 5.7
i.e. the required point is (0, 5.7)
