Class 09 - Mathematics
Sample Paper - 03 (2024-25)

Solution

Section A
1. (d) on the negative direction of the x-axis
Explanation:

(-a, 0) lies on the x-axis to the left (Negative direction of x-axis) of origin at a distance of 'a' units.

2. (a) 8
Explanation:

Let the sides of ΔABC be n, n + 1, n + 2

⇒ Perimeter = n + n + 1 + n + 2
⇒ (9 + 9 + 9) = 3n + 3

⇒ 27 = 3n + 3
⇒ 3n = 24

⇒ n = 8 cm
Thus, the shortest side is 8 cm

3. (a) 50o
Explanation:

∠ ODB = ∠ OAC = 50o (Angles in the same segment of a circle)

⇒ ∠ ODB = 50o

4. (c) 2.5 cm

∠ ACD = 115o, ∠ ACB = 180 - 115 = 65o (Linear Pair)

Since, It is given that AB = AC, then ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB (Isosceles trangle property)
As ∠ ACB = 65o, therefore ∠ ABC = 65o
Sum of all the three angles of triangle = 180°, therefore ∠ ABC + ∠ ACB + ∠ A = 180o
∠ A = 180 - 65 - 65 = 50o

7. (b) x + y = 0
Explanation:

Out of all the options, (-1, 1 ), (0, 0), (2, -2) are the solutions of x + y = 0 only.

8. (d) Three
Explanation:

The maximum number of zeroes that a polynomial of degree 3 can have is three because the number of zeroes of a
polynomial is equals to the degree of that polynomial.

10. (b) Right angled

Explanation:

Let ABC be right angled triangle and ∠ ABC = 90°.

Let D, E, F are mid-points of sides BC,
AC and AB respectively.
∴EF || BD and BF || DE (By mid-point theorem)
⇒ BDEF is a parallelogram.

∴ ∠FED = ∠ FBD = 90° (∵ Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)

∴ DEF is right angled triangle.

12. (a) y = 0
Explanation:

Since x-axis is a parallel to itself at a distance 0 from it. Let P (x,y) be any point on the x-axis. Then clearly, for all
position of P, we shall have the same ordinate 0 or, y = 0. Therefore, the equation of x-axis is y = 0.

13. (b) 60o

Explanation:

In the given figure, OA||CD.

Construction: Extend OA such that it intersects BC at E.

Now, OE||CD and BC is a transversal.

∴ ∠ AEC = ∠ BCD = 130o (Pair of corresponding angles)
Also, ∠ OAB + ∠ BAE = 180o (Linear pair)
∴ 110o + ∠ BAE = 180o
⇒ ∠ BAE = 180o - 110o = 70o
In △ABE
∠ AEC = ∠ BAE + ∠ ABE ... (In a triangle, exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)

∴ 130o = 70o + xo
⇒ xo = 130o - 70o = 60o
Thus, the measure of angle ∠ ABC is 60o

14. (b) 27
Explanation:

Given 8x+1 = 64
8x+1 = 64
8x+1 = 82
⇒ x+1=2
⇒ x=2-1

⇒ x=1
Now 32x+1 = 32(1)+1
= 32+1
= 33
= 27

15. (b) 100°
Explanation:

Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, we have:

∠ BAD + ∠ BCD = 180° (Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)

⇒ 100° + ∠ BCD = 180°

⇒ ∠ BCD = (180° - 100°) = 80°
Now, AB || DC and CB is the transversal.
∴ ∠ ABC + ∠ BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠ ABC + 80° = 180°
⇒ ∠ ABC = (180° - 80°) = 100°
⇒ ∠ ABC = 100°

16. (c) (3,9)

Explanation:

Here, y = 2x + 3
So, for x = 3, we have
y = 2 ×3 + 3
=6+3
=9
So, (3, 9) lies on the given line

17. (c) 3
Explanation:

If (-2, 5) is a solution of 2x + my = 11

then it will satisfy the given equation

2 .(-2)+5 m=11
-4+5 m=11
5 m=11+4
5 m=15

m = = 3

m=3

18. (a) x + 1
Explanation:

x+ 1 is a linear polynomial because its degree is 1.

19. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

In ΔABC, E and F are midpoint of the sides AC and AB respectively.

FE || BC [By mid-point theorem]
Now, in ΔABP, F is mid-point of AB and FQ || BP. Q is mid-point of AP

Section B

21.
Given, AC = BC
AC + AC = BC + AC . . . . [AC are added to both the side]
2AC = AB . . . . [BC + AC coincides with AB]
∴ AC = 1

22. We need to prove that Euclid’s fifth axiom is considered as a universal truth.
Euclid’s fifth axiom states that “the whole is greater than the part.”
The above given axiom is a universal truth. We can apply the fifth axiom not only mathematically but also universally in
daily life.
Mathematical proof:
Let us consider a quantity z, which has different parts as a, b, x and y. .
Therefore, we can conclude that z will always be greater than its corresponding parts a, b, x and y.
Universal proof:
We know that Mumbai is located in Maharashtra and Maharashtra is located in India.
In other words, we can conclude that Mumbai is a part of Maharashtra and Maharashtra is a part of India.
Therefore, we can conclude that whole India will be greater than Mumbai or Maharashtra or both.
Therefore, we can conclude that Euclid’s fifth axiom is considered as a ‘Universal truth’.

Hence, the height corresponding to the longest side is 28.8 cm.

Thus, we can find out the altitude of the triangle corresponding to 18 cm.
We have:
Area of triangle = 216 cm2

35. Let p(x) = x3 + 10x2 + ax + b be the given polynomial. If p(x) is exactly divisible by (x - 1) and (x - 2), then (x - 1) and
(x - 2) are factors of p(x).
∴ p(1) and p(2) = 0
⇒ 13 + 10 × 12 + a× 1 + b = 0 and (2)3 + 10 × 22 + a × 2 + b = 0
⇒ 1 + 10 + a + b = 0 and 8 + 40 + 2a + b = 0
⇒ a + b = -11 and 2a + b = -48
Subtracting second equation from first, we get
(a + b) - (2a + b) = - 11 - ( - 48)
⇒ a + b - 2a - b = -11 + 48 ⇒ -a = 37 ⇒ a = - 37
Putting a = -37 in a + b = -11, we get
-37 + b = -11 ⇒ b = 26.
Hence, a = -37 and b = 26

36. i. Let 'x be time taken and y be amount of water collected as per given statement.
Equation is 30x = y
Now when x = 2 hours = 120 sec
y = 30 × 120 = 3600 cm3
ii. 30x - y + 0 = 0
Standard form of a linear equation in two variables is ax + by + c = 0
iii. Since, y = 30x
If x = 60, then, y = 30 × 60
= 1800
Required volume is 1800 cm3.
OR
Since, y = 30x
If y = 900, then, 900 = 30x
x= 900

Required time is 30 sec.
37. i. In △PQS and △PRT

QS = TR (Given)
∠PQR =∠ PRQ (corresponding angles of an isosceles △)
By SAS commence
△ PQS ≅ △PRT
ii. △P QS ≅ △P RT

⇒ PS = PT (CPCT)
So in △PST
PS = PT
It is an isosceles triangle.
iii. Perimeter = sum of all 3 sides
PQ = PR = 6 cm

So, P = (6 + 6 + 7) cm

OR
Let ∠ Q = ∠ R = x and ∠ P = 80o
In △PQR, ∠ P + ∠ Q + ∠ R = 180o (Angle sum property of △)

38. i. We know that angle in the semicircle = 90o
Here QR is a diameter of circle and ∠ QPR is angle in semicircle.
Hence ∠ QPR = 90o
ii. ∠ QPR = 90o
⇒ QR2 = PQ2 + PR2
