■ Sample Previous Year Questions (2022–2024)
Q1. If x + y = 10 and x - y = 4, find x and y.
■ Solution: Adding equations: 2x = 14 → x = 7. Then y = 3.
Q2. The area of a circle is 154 cm². Find the radius. (Use π = 3.14)
■ Solution: Area = πr² → r² = 154/3.14 ≈ 49 → r = 7 cm.
Q3. Solve: 2x + 3 = 11
■ Solution: 2x = 8 → x = 4
