 Solution

Section A

1.
(d) 16
Explanation: Let us subtract 5 (the remainder) from each number in order to find their HCF.
245 - 5 = 240
1029 - 5 = 1024
Now, Let us find HCF of 240, 1024
1024 = 240 × 4 + 64
240 = 64 × 3 + 48
64 = 48 × 1 + 16
48 = 16 × 3 + 0
The largest number which divides 245 and 1029 leaving remainder 5 in each case is 16.
2.
(c) a < 0, b < 0 and c > 0
Explanation: Clearly, f (x) = ax 2
+ bx + c represent a parabola opening downwards.
Clearly a < 0
Let, y = ax2 + bx + c cuts y-axis at P which lies on OY.
Putting x = 0 in y = ax + bx + c , we get y = c. So the coordinates of P are (0, c).
2

Clearly, P lies on OY. Therefore c > 0

−b −D
The vertex ( 2a
,
4a
) of the parabola is in the second quadrant.
−b
Therefore, 2a
< 0 ,b<0
Therefore a < 0, b < 0 and c > 0.
3. (a) no solution
Explanation: Since, we have y = 0 and y = -6 are two parallel lines.
therefore, no solution exists.
4.
(d) 100
Explanation: Let the number of students be x
∴ Each student would get = bananas 500

∴ If there were 25 more students, then each student would get = 500

x+25
bananas
500 500
According to question, x
−
x+25
=1
500x+12500−500x
⇒
x(x+25)
=1
12500
⇒
2
=1
x +25x

⇒ x2 + 25x -12500 = 0
⇒ x2 + 125x - 100x - 12500 = 0
⇒ x(x + 125) - 100(x + 125) = 0

⇒ (x + 125)(x - 100) = 0

⇒ x + 125 = 0 and x - 100 = 0

⇒ x = -125 and x = 100 [x = -125 is not possible]

Therefore, the number of students is 100

5.

= 36
n
∴ Sn = (a + l)

 ⇒72 = n × 12

⇒n = 6

6.
(d) ordinate
Explanation: The distance of a point from the x-axis is the y (vertical) coordinate of the point and is called ordinate.
7.
(b) -y1 : y2
Explanation: Let a point A on x-axis divides the line segment joining the points P(x1, y1) Q(x2, y2) in the ratio m1 : m2 and
let co-ordinates of A be (x, 0)
m1 y + m2 y
2 1
∴ 0 = ⇒ 0 = m1 y2 + m2 y1
m1 + m2

m1 −y
1
⇒ m1 y2 = − m2 y1 ⇒ =
m2 y2

∴ Ratio is -y1 : y2

8. (a) 3.5 cm
Explanation: By using angle bisector theore in △ABC, we have
AB BD
=
AC DC
10 6−x
⇒ =
14 x

⇒ 10x = 84 − 14x

⇒ 24x = 84

⇒ x = 3.5

Hence, the correct answer is 3.5.

9.
(b) 2∠OPQ
Explanation: Since, tangents from an external point to a circle are equal.
∴ TP = TQ ⇒∠ TQP = ∠ TPQ [Angle opposite to equal sides]……(i)

Now, since tangent is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
∴ ∠ OPT = 90
∘

⇒∠ OPQ + ∠ TPQ = 90 ⇒∠ TPQ = 90 − ∠OPQ …….(ii)

∘ ∘

In triangle TPQ,
∘
∠PTQ + ∠TPQ + ∠TQP = 180

⇒∠PTQ + 2∠TPQ = 180

∘
[From eq. (i)]
⇒∠PTQ + 2 (90
∘
− ∠OPQ) = 180 [From eq. (ii)]
∘

⇒∠PTQ = 2∠OPQ

10.
(d) 7 cm

Explanation:

Here ∠ OPQ = 90° [Tangent makes right angle with the radius at the point of contact]
in right angled triangle OPQ
∴ OQ2 = OP2 + PQ2 ⇒ (25)2 = OP2 + (24)2
⇒ OP2 = 625 - 576
⇒ OP = 7 cm Therefore, the radius of the circle is 7 cm

13. (a) 12 m

Explanation:

Given: Two poles BC = 16 m and AD = 10 m

And ∠CDE = 30 ∘

To find: Length of wire CD = x

∴ In triangle CDE,

336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 2 4 × 3 × 7
54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 3 3
HCF = 2 × 3 = 6
LCM = 2 4 × 3 3 × 7 = 3024
Product of two numbers 336 and 54 = 336 × 54 = 18144
HCF × LCM = 6 × 3024 = 18144
Hence, product of two numbers = HCF × LCM`

Let O be the centre of the given circle.

Then, OP = 10 cm. Also, PT = 8 cm.
Join OT.
Now, PT is a tangent at T and OT is the radius through the point of contact T.

Hence, the lines represented by the equations (1) and (2) are coincident.
Therefore, equations (1) and (2) have infinitely many common solutions, i.e., the given pair of linear equations is consistent.
Graphical Representation, we draw the graphs of the equations (1) and (2) by finding two solutions for each if the equations.
These two solutions of the equations (1) and (2) are given below in table 1 and table 2 respectively.
For equation (1) x + y = 5 ⇒ y = 5 - x

We plot the points A(0, 5) and B(5, 0) on a graph paper and join these points to form the line AB representing the equation (1) as
shown in the figure, Also, we plot the points C(1, 4) and D (2, 3) on the same graph paper and join these points to form the line
CD representing the equation (2) as shown in the same figure.

Let the numerator be ‘a’ and denominator be ‘b’.
According to the first condition in the question, we have

⇒ 5a − 3b = −15 ..... (1)

Also, according to the second condition, we have
a+8 2

⇒ 5a − 4b = −40 ......(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1), gives
b = 25

29. Given, PO⊥QO and The tangents to the circle at P and Q intersect at a point T.

Consider, ΔT P O and ΔT QO
PT = TQ [∵ Tangets from external point are equal in length]
OT = OT [Common]
∘
∠T P O = ∠T QO = 90

So, by RHS rule, we have

ΔT P O ≅ΔT QO

⇒ ∠P T O = ∠QT O ...(i) [C.P.C.T.]

Now, In ΔPTR and ΔQTR

PT = TQ [∵ Tangents from external point are equal in length]
∠P T O = ∠QT O [By equation (i)]

TR = TR [Common]
So, by SAS rule, we have
ΔP T R ≅ΔQT R

∴ PR = RQ ...(ii)
And, ∠T RP = ∠T RQ

Page 14 of 22
 But, ∠T RP + ∠T RQ = 180
∘

∘
⇒ 2∠T RP = 180

⇒ ∠T RP = 90

...(iii)
Therefore, PQ and OT are right bisectors of each other.
OR
In the figure, quad. ABCD is circumscribed about a circle which touches its sides at P, Q, R and S respectively

To prove : AB + CD = AD + BC
Proof: Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal
AP = AS
BP = BQ
CR = CQ
DR = DS
Adding, we get,
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
∠ (AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
∠ AB + CD = AD + BC

Hence AB + CD = AD + BC

Let AB = 12K and AC = 13K ,where K is positive integer.

AB2 + BC2 = AC2
Or, (12K)2 + BC2 = (13K)2

It is given that,R - r = 7.....(i).
It is also given that the difference between the areas of two circles is 1078 cm2
2 2
∴ πR − πr = 1078

2 2
⇒ π (R − r ) = 1078
22
⇒ (R + r)(R − r) = 1078

22
⇒ (R + r) × 7 = 1078

⇒ R + r = 49 .......(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
2r = 42⇒ r = 21
Hence, the radius of the smaller circle is of length 21 cm.

or, 100(2x + 5) = 9x(x + 5)

or, 200x + 500 = 9x + 45x 2

or, 9x − 155x − 500 = 0

2

or, 9x − 180x + 25x − 500 = 0

2

or,9x(x - 20) + 25(x - 20) = 0

or, (x-20)(9x + 25) = 0
or, x = 20, −25

Page 16 of 22
 rejecting negative value, x = 20 minutes
and x + 5 = 25 minutes
Hence pipe A will fill the tank in 20 minutes and pipe B will fill it in 25 minutes.

V = 25.14 cm3
The total volume of the vessel is equal to the volume of the spherical shell and the volume of its cylindrical neck.

The total volume of the vessel is 3,080 cm3.
As we know,

Thus, the amount of water (in litres) it can hold is 3.080 L.

Using Cartesian Coordinates we mark a point on a graph by how far along and how far up it is.
The left-right (horizontal) direction is commonly called X-axis.
The up-down (vertical) direction is commonly called Y-axis.
When we include negative values, the x and y axes divide the space up into 4 pieces.

In a society, there are many multistory buildings. The RWA of the society wants to install a tower and a water tank so that all the
households can get water without using water pumps.
For this they have measured the height of the tallest building in the society and now they want to install a tower that will be taller
than that so that the level of water must be higher than the tallest building in their society. Here is one solution they have found
and now they want to check if it will work or not.
From a point on the ground 40 m away from the foot of a tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 300. the angle of
elevation of the top of the water tank is 45o.

(i)

Let BC be the tower of height h and CD be the water tank of height h1

In ΔABD, we have

Thus height of the tower is 23.1 m.

Let BC be the tower of height h and CD be the water tank of height h1

In ΔABD, we have
∘ BD
tan 45 =

⇒ h = =

Thus height of the tower is 23.1 m.

Substituting the value of h in (1), we have
23.1 + h1 = 40

⇒ h1 = 40 - 23.1
= 6.9 m
Thus height of the tank is 6.9 m.
