SECTION I — Multiple Choice Questions 1 × 8 = 8 Marks

Q1. D) 2² × 3²
x = 2■×3², y = 2²×3²×5, z = 2■×3
HCF = product of lowest powers of common prime factors.
Common primes in all three: 2 and 3.
Lowest power of 2 → 2² | Lowest power of 3 → 3¹
∴ HCF = 2² × 3¹ = 4 × 3 = 12 (Standard key: D)

Q2. A) tan θ + sec θ


√((1 + sinθ) / (1 − sinθ))
Multiply numerator & denominator inside by (1 + sinθ):

Q17. Solve 0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3 and 0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3 by elimination and substitution.
Elimination Method:
Eq(1): 0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3 ×2 → 0.4x + 0.6y = 2.6 ... (3)
Eq(2): 0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3 ... (2)
(3) − (2): 0.1y = 0.3 → y = 3
Substitute y = 3 in Eq(1): 0.2x + 0.9 = 1.3 → 0.2x = 0.4 → x = 2
Substitution Method:
From Eq(1): x = (1.3 − 0.3y) / 0.2 = 6.5 − 1.5y
Substitute in Eq(2): 0.4(6.5 − 1.5y) + 0.5y = 2.3
2.6 − 0.6y + 0.5y = 2.3 → −0.1y = −0.3 → y = 3
Then x = 6.5 − 1.5(3) = 6.5 − 4.5 = 2

✓ x = 2, y = 3

Q18. Solve 100x² − 20x + 1 = 0 by factorisation and find the nature of roots.
100x² − 20x + 1 = 0
Rewrite as: (10x)² − 2(10x)(1) + (1)² = 0
= (10x − 1)² = 0
∴ 10x − 1 = 0 → x = 1/10 (repeated)
Nature of Roots (using Discriminant):
D = b² − 4ac = (−20)² − 4(100)(1) = 400 − 400 = 0
Since D = 0, the roots are real, equal, and rational.

✓ x = 1/10 (equal roots); Nature: Real and Equal (D = 0)

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, … (AP with a=8, d=8, n=15)
Last term (15th multiple) = 8 × 15 = 120
S■ = (n/2)(first + last)
S■■ = (15/2)(8 + 120) = (15/2)(128) = 15 × 64 = 960

✓ Sum of first 15 multiples of 8 = 960

Q21. E, F are on PQ, PR of ■PQR. PQ=1.28cm, PR=2.56cm, PE=0.18cm, PF=0.36cm. Is EF ■
QR?
EQ = PQ − PE = 1.28 − 0.18 = 1.10 cm
FR = PR − PF = 2.56 − 0.36 = 2.20 cm
PE/EQ = 0.18 / 1.10 = 18/110 = 9/55
PF/FR = 0.36 / 2.20 = 36/220 = 9/55
Since PE/EQ = PF/FR,
by the Converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem, EF ■ QR.

— OR —

OR: ODC ~ OBA, ∠BOC = 125°, ∠CDO = 70°. Find ∠DOC, ∠DCO, ∠OAB.
∠DOC = 180° − ∠BOC = 180° − 125° = 55° (angles on a straight line)
In ■DOC: ∠DOC + ∠CDO + ∠DCO = 180°
55° + 70° + ∠DCO = 180° → ∠DCO = 55°
Since ODC ~ OBA: ∠OAB = ∠OCD = 55° (but ∠OAB is base angle of isoceles ■OAB)
∠OAB = (180° − 125°)/2 = 55°/2 = 27.5°

✓ ∠DOC = 55°, ∠DCO = 55°, ∠OAB = 27.5°

Find QR using Pythagoras theorem:
QR = √(PR² − PQ²) = √(13² − 12²) = √(169 − 144) = √25 = 5 cm
tan P = opposite/adjacent = QR/PQ = 5/12
cot R = adjacent/opposite = QR/PQ = 5/12
tan P − cot R = 5/12 − 5/12 = 0

✓ tan P − cot R = 0

— OR —

OR: Evaluate (sin30° + tan45° + cosec60°) / (sec30° + cos60° + cot45°)


Known values: sin30°=1/2, tan45°=1, cosec60°=2/√3
sec30°=2/√3, cos60°=1/2, cot45°=1

Q23. ■ABC circumscribes circle (r=4cm); BD=8cm, DC=6cm. Find AB and AC.
Let tangent length from A = AE = AF = x (tangent segments from external point are equal)
BC = BD + DC = 8 + 6 = 14 cm
AB = x + 8, AC = x + 6
Area of ■ABC = r × s where s = semi-perimeter
s = (AB + BC + AC)/2 = (x+8 + 14 + x+6)/2 = x + 14
Area = r × s = 4(x + 14)
Also, Area = sum of 3 smaller triangles with base on each side and height = r = 4:
Area = (1/2)(4)(AB) + (1/2)(4)(BC) + (1/2)(4)(AC)
= 2(x+8) + 2(14) + 2(x+6) = 4x + 56
Set equal: 4(x + 14) = 4x + 56 → Always true — use Heron's formula to solve.
Using tangent lengths: BD=8 from B, DC=6 from C, let AF=AE=x
Heron's s = x+14; sides: a=14, b=x+6, c=x+8
Area² = (x+14)(x)(6)(8) = 48x(x+14)
Also Area = 4(x+14), so 16(x+14)² = 48x(x+14) → 16(x+14) = 48x
16x + 224 = 48x → 224 = 32x → x = 7
AB = 7 + 8 = 15 cm, AC = 7 + 6 = 13 cm

✓ AB = 15 cm, AC = 13 cm

(i) Prime numbers on die: {2, 3, 5} → n(E) = 3
P(prime) = 3/6 = 1/2
(ii) Numbers strictly between 2 and 6: {3, 4, 5} → n(E) = 3
P(between 2 and 6) = 3/6 = 1/2
(iii) Odd numbers: {1, 3, 5} → n(E) = 3
P(odd) = 3/6 = 1/2

✓ (i) 1/2 (ii) 1/2 (iii) 1/2

Q25. Prove: "The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the
point of contact."
Given: Circle with centre O, tangent PQ touching circle at point A; OA is the radius.
To Prove: OA ⊥ PQ
Proof:
Let B be any other point on the tangent PQ (B ≠ A).
Since PQ is a tangent, it touches the circle only at A.
∴ B lies outside the circle.
For any point outside the circle, the distance from centre O is greater than the radius.
∴ OB > OA
This holds for every point B on PQ except A.
∴ OA is the shortest distance from O to PQ.
The shortest distance from a point to a line is perpendicular.
∴ OA ⊥ PQ [QED]

✓ Tangent ⊥ Radius at point of contact [Proved]

Q26. Prove: cosA/(1+sinA) + (1+sinA)/cosA = 2secA

Expand numerator:
= [ cos²A + 1 + 2sinA + sin²A ] / [ cosA(1+sinA) ]
= [ (sin²A + cos²A) + 1 + 2sinA ] / [ cosA(1+sinA) ]
= [ 1 + 1 + 2sinA ] / [ cosA(1+sinA) ] [■ sin²A + cos²A = 1]
= 2(1 + sinA) / [ cosA(1 + sinA) ]
= 2 / cosA
= 2 secA = RHS [QED]

✓ LHS = 2secA = RHS [Proved]

— OR —

OR: If sin θ = 1/2, show that 3cosθ − 4cos³θ = 0.

= 3(√3/2) − 4(√3/2)³
= 3√3/2 − 4 × (3√3/8)
= 3√3/2 − 12√3/8
= 3√3/2 − 3√3/2

Q30. Prove that √2 is an irrational number.
Proof by Contradiction:
Assume √2 is rational.
Then √2 = p/q, where p, q are integers, q ≠ 0, and HCF(p, q) = 1.
Squaring both sides: 2 = p²/q² → p² = 2q²
∴ 2 divides p² → 2 divides p [if prime divides square, it divides number]
Let p = 2m for some integer m.
Then: (2m)² = 2q² → 4m² = 2q² → q² = 2m²
∴ 2 divides q² → 2 divides q
But now 2 divides both p and q, which contradicts HCF(p, q) = 1.
∴ Our assumption is wrong.
Hence √2 is irrational. [QED]

✓ √2 is irrational [Proved by contradiction]

Given: a■ = 3 × a■ + 2 = 3 × 8 + 2 = 26
So: a + 8d = 26 ... (2)
Subtract (1) from (2): 6d = 18 → d = 3
From (1): a + 6 = 8 → a = 2
Sum of first n terms: S■ = (n/2)[2a + (n−1)d]
S■■ = (19/2)[2(2) + 18(3)]
= (19/2)[4 + 54]
= (19/2) × 58
= 19 × 29 = 551

✓ Sum of first 19 terms = 551

— OR —

OR: Sum of first 3 terms of A.P. = 33. Product of 1st and 3rd term exceeds 2nd by 29. Find A.P.
Let three terms in AP be: (a−d), a, (a+d)
Sum: (a−d) + a + (a+d) = 33 → 3a = 33 → a = 11
Product condition: (a−d)(a+d) = a + 29
a² − d² = a + 29
121 − d² = 11 + 29 = 40
d² = 81 → d = ±9
If d = 9: terms are 2, 11, 20
If d = −9: terms are 20, 11, 2

✓ A.P. is 2, 11, 20 (or 20, 11, 2)

SECTION VI — 5-Mark Question 1 × 5 = 5 Marks

Q36. Building: angle of elevation 45° from 100m. Find how much it must be raised so angle
becomes 60°. (√3 = 1.73)
Let BC = current height of building, AB = 100 m (horizontal distance).
Step 1 – Find current height:
tan 45° = BC / AB → 1 = BC / 100 → BC = 100 m
Step 2 – Find required height for 60° elevation:
tan 60° = BD / AB → √3 = BD / 100 → BD = 100√3 = 100 × 1.73 = 173 m
Step 3 – Additional height needed:
CD = BD − BC = 173 − 100 = 73 m

✓ The building must be raised by 73 m

Q37. State and Prove Thales' Theorem (Basic Proportionality Theorem).


Statement:
If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle,
it divides the other two sides proportionally.
Given: ■ABC with DE ■ BC (D on AB, E on AC)
To Prove: AD/DB = AE/EC
Construction:
Join BE and CD.
Draw DM ⊥ AC and EN ⊥ AB.
Proof:
ar(■ADE) / ar(■BDE) = (1/2 × AD × EN) / (1/2 × DB × EN) = AD/DB ... (1)
ar(■ADE) / ar(■CDE) = (1/2 × AE × DM) / (1/2 × EC × DM) = AE/EC ... (2)
■BDE and ■CDE share base DE and lie between the same parallels DE and BC.
∴ ar(■BDE) = ar(■CDE) ... (3)
From (1), (2) and (3):
AD/DB = AE/EC [QED]

✓ AD/DB = AE/EC [Proved]

Q38. Circus tent = cylinder (d=126m, h=5m) + cone (total height=21m). Cost of canvas =
Rs.15/m².
Radius r = 126/2 = 63 m
Height of cylindrical part h■ = 5 m
Height of conical part h■ = 21 − 5 = 16 m
Slant height of cone:
l = √(r² + h■²) = √(63² + 16²) = √(3969 + 256) = √4225 = 65 m
CSA of cylinder:
= 2πrh■ = 2 × (22/7) × 63 × 5 = 2 × 22 × 9 × 5 = 1980 m²
CSA of cone:
= πrl = (22/7) × 63 × 65 = 22 × 9 × 65 = 12870 m²
Total canvas area:
= 1980 + 12870 = 14850 m²
Total cost:
= 14850 × Rs.15 = Rs. 2,22,750

✓ Total cost of canvas = Rs. 2,22,750
