Class 10 - Mathematics
Basic Sample Paper - 09

Solution

Section A
1. (a) 18
Explanation: We first factorise the two numbers:

144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 24 × 32
198 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 11 = 2 × 32 × 11
Here, HCF = 2 × 32
= 18
2. (d) both rational and irrational number
Explanation: The difference between two distinct irrational numbers can be either a rational number or an irrational
number.
e.g difference between pi and (π - 3) is equal to 3 which is rational
– –
√2 and √2 + 1 both are irrational but their difference is 1 which is rational
– – – –
Similarly, √2 and √3 are irrational and their difference ( √3 - √2 ) is also irrational
3. (a) a = ± 1
Explanation: In the equation ax2 + 2x + a = 0
D = b2- 4ac = (2)2 - 4 × a × a = 4 - 4a2
Roots are real and equal
D=0
⇒ 4 - 4a2 = 0
⇒ 4 = 4a2
⇒ 1 = a2
⇒ a2 = 1
⇒ a2 = (± 1)2
⇒ a = ± 1

4. (c) coincide with each other

Explanation: A system of two linear equations in two variables has infinitely many solutions if their graphs coincide
with each other and all the points in one line are common with the other line.
5. (a) 3
Explanation: The given equation is x2 + ax + 3 = 0
One root = 1
and product of roots = =3
c 3
=
a 1

Second root = =3

6. (c) x + 3y - 7 = 0
Explanation: Given: (x1, y1) = (x, y), (x2, y2) = (1, 2) and (x3, y3) = (7, 0) and these are collinear
∴
1

2
|x1(y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2)| = 0

|x(2 - 0) + 1(0 - y) + 7(y - 2)| = 0
⇒

these are the corresponding parts

8. (c) x = 4
Explanation: In △ABC, DE || BC
AD = (7x – 4) cm, AE = (5x – 2) cm DB = (3x + 4) cm and EC = 3x cm
In △ABC, DE || BC
AD AF 7x−4 5x−2
∴ = ⇒ =
DB EC 3x+4 3x

3x(7x − 4) = (5x − 2)(3x + 4)

2 2
⇒ 21x − 12x = 15x + 20x − 6x − 8

2 2
⇒ 21x − 15x − 12x − 20x + 6x + 8 = 0

2
⇒ 6x − 26x + 8 = 0

⎧ ∵ 3 × 4 = 12 ⎫
⎪ ⎪
2
⇒ 3x − 13x + 4 = 0 ⎨ ∴ 12 = −1 × (−12) ⎬
⎩
⎪ ⎭
⎪
13 = −1 − 12
2
⇒ 3x − x − 12x + 4 = 0

⇒ x(3x − 1) − 4(3x − 1) = 0

⇒ (3x − 1)(x − 4) = 0

either 3x - 1 = 0, then 3x = 1 ⇒ x =
1

or x - 4 = 0, then x = 4
9. (a) 10 cm
Explanation: Let point of contact of tangent AB be P, point of contact of tangent BC be Q and point of contact of
tangent AC be R.
Since, Tangents from an external points are equal.
∴ BP = BQ = 3cm
PA = AR = 4 cm
⇒ CR = 11 - 4 = 7 cm
CR = QC = 7 cm
∴ BC = CQ + BQ = 7 + 3 = 10 cm

15. (a) 7

Explanation: In a bag, there are 3 green, 4 blue and 2 orange marbles

∴ Total marbles (n) = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
No. of marbles which is not orange = 3 + 4 = 7
therefore m = 7
∴ Probability =

Explanation: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: As we know that square root of every prime number is an irrational number. So, both assertion and reason
are correct and reason explains assertion.
Section B
21. Given equations are
9x + 3y + 12 = 0
18x + 6y + 24 = 0
Comparing equation 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 with a 1x + b1 y + c1 = 0

and 18x + 6y + 24 = 0 with

a x + b y + c = 0,
2 2 2

We get, a1 = 9, b1 = 3, c1 = 12, a2 = 18, b2 = 6, c2 = 24

We have because

Hence, lines are coincident.

22. We have, DE || BC

Therefore, by BPT, AD

Adding DB on both sides

⇒ AD + DB = AE + DB

In △XYZ,

equations is x = 6 and y = 0, i.e., the given pair of equations is consistent.

Total odd numbers = 1, 3......49
This is an A.P. with first term = 1, common difference = 2 and last term = 49
We need to find, number of terms = n
Applying the formula for nth terms of an A.P,
an = a + (n – 1)d

Let r be the radius of the hemisphere and h be the height of the conical part of the toy.
Then, r = OA = 4.2 cm, h = VO = VO' - OO' = (10.2 - 4.2) cm = 6 cm

Also, radius of the base of the cone = OA = r = 4.2 cm
