Internal Assessment - 1 (2025–26)
Grade 10 | Unit 1 | Assessment Criteria: B, C(i,v), D
Task 1: Proof and Verification of General Forms
1. Quadratic Formula
To Prove: For the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 , the solution is:
x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
Proof:
ax² + bx + c = 0
x² + (b/a)x + (c/a) = 0
x² + (b/a)x = -c/a
Complete square: Add (b/2a)²
(x + b/2a)² = (b² - 4ac)/4a²
x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
2. n-th Term of Arithmetic Progression (AP)
To Prove: The n-th term is:
a = a + (n - 1)d
Using first few terms:
a₁ = a
a₂ = a + d
a₃ = a + 2d
⋮
a = a + (n - 1)d
Task 2: Case Study – Education Budget
a. Find Ratio of Admin to Academic Head
Total Budget: ₹40,000 crore | Education: 20% → ₹8,000 crore
Let Administrative = A, Academic = C
Given Conditions:
(A - 1000) / (C + 1000) = 1/5 ⟹ 5A - C = 6000
A / (C + 3000) = 2/7 ⟹ 7A - 2C = 6000
₹ ₹
Solving gives: A = 2000 crore, C = 4000 crore
Final Ratio: Admin : Academic = 1:2
b. Suggest Budget Allocation Based on Students
Academic Budget: ₹4000 crore
Student Distribution:
Primary: 1 million
Middle: 0.6 million
Secondary: 0.4 million
Assume per student allocation: x, 1.5x, 2.5x
Total = 2.9x = 4000 → x ≈ ₹13793
Final Allocations:
Primary: ₹1379.3 crore
Middle: ₹1241.4 crore
Secondary: ₹1379.3 crore
Task 3: Real Life Situations
1. System of Linear Equations (Movie Tickets)
Let Adult = x, Child = y
3x + 5y = 1650
2x + 3y = 1050
₹
Solving: x = 300, y = 150 ₹
2. Arithmetic Progression (Taxi Fare)
First km = ₹25, each next km = ₹8
Total distance = 15 km
a = 25, d = 8
a₁₅ = a + (15-1)d = 25 + 112 = 137
Fare for 15 km = 137₹
