Section A
1. (b) (4, 0)
Explanation:
Since the abscissa or x-coordinate of a point is 4 and this point lies on the x-axis. And the ordinate or
y-coordinate of a point lying on the x-axis is 0.
Therefore the coordinate of the point is (4, 0).
2. (c) 15 cm
Explanation:
In △BCD, let a = 12cm, b = 17cm and c = 25 cm.
= 27 cm
12+17+25 54
∴ s = ( ) cm = cm
2 2

= √27 × 15 × 10 × 2 cm = 90 cm
Now, area of parallelogram ABCD
= 2 × Area of △BCD
= (2 × 90) cm2 = 180 cm2 ...(i)
Let length of altitude of parallelogram ABCD from vertex A be h cm.
Also, area of parallelogram = Base × Altitude
⇒ 180 = DC × h [From (i)]
⇒ 180 = 12 × h
= 15 cm
180
⇒ h =
12
Required length of the altitude is 15 cm.
3. (b) 50o
Explanation:

⇒ 2x= 8 = 23
equating both,
x=3
6. (d) △ABD ≅△F EC
Explanation:
Given:
AB = FE, BC = ED,
AB ⊥ BE and FE ⊥ BE
To Prove: AD = FC
Proof: In △ABD and △FEC,
AB = FE ...(1) (Given)
∠ ABD = ∠ FEC ...(2)
Each = 90o
BC = ED (Given)
⇒ BC + CD = ED + DC
⇒ BD = EC ...(3)
In view of (1), (2) and (3),
△ABD ≅△FEC using SAS congruence rule
7. (c) a ≠ 0 and b ≠0
Explanation:
A linear equation in two variables is of the form ax + by + c = 0 as a and b are cofficient of x and y
so if a = 0 and b = 0 or either of one is zero in that case the equation will be one variable or their will
be no equation respectively.
therefore when a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0 then only the equation will be in two variable

16. (b) both x-axis and y-axis
Explanation:
Point (0, 0) is the co-ordinate of origin and origin is the point of intersection of x and y-axis. So, point O
(0, 0) lies on both axis.
17. (b) (-2, 3)
Explanation:
Because value of x -co-ordinate is - 2
18. (d) a = b = c
Explanation:
Given: a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc- ca = 0
⇒ 2(a2 + b2 + c2- ab - bc - ca) = 0
⇒ (2a2 + 2b2 + 2c2 - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca) = 0
⇒ ({a2 + b2 - 2ab} + {b2 + c2 - 2bc} + {c2 + a2 - 2ca}) = 0
⇒ (a - b)2 + (b - c)2 + (c - a)2 = 0
Now, since the sum of all squares is zero
⇒ a - b = 0 ⇒ a = b
⇒ b - c = 0 ⇒ b = c
⇒c - a = 0 ⇒ c = a
⇒ a = b = c
19. (a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
It is given that, ABCD is a quadrilateral in which P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of AB, BC, CD and DA
respectively. Then, PQRS is a parallelogram.
Also, the line segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side
and equal to half of it.
Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of the assertion
20. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Section B
21. In the given equation, we have
u - 5 = 15
On adding 5 to both sides, we have
u - 5 + 5 = 15 + 5 { on applying Euclid's axiom }
we get, u = 20.
22. We have
∠1 = ∠2 [Given]
∠2 = ∠3 [Given]
Now, by Euclid’s axiom 1, things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one other.
Hence, ∠1 = ∠3 .
23. A point lies on x-axis if the y-coordinate is zero. Hence B, D, E and G points lie on the x-axis.

28. ABCD is a parallelogram. Its diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at O. PQ passes through the point of
intersection O of its diagonal AC and BD.
In △AOP and △COQ, we have
∠3 = ∠4 [Alternate int. ∠s]
OA = OC [Diagonals of a || gm bisect each other]
∠1 = ∠2 [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ △AOP ≅△COQ [By ASA Congruence rule]
So, OP = OQ [CPCT]
Hence, PQ is bisected at O.
29. i. On x-axis y = 0
⇒ x +2×0 = 8 ⇒ x = 8
Therefore, the required point is (8, 0).
ii. On y-axis x = 0
⇒ 0 + 2y = 8
8
⇒ y = ⇒ y = 4

Thus, the required point is (0, 4).

32. i. In △BOD,
∠ OBD + ∠BOD + ∠ODB = 180o
(The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180o )
⇒ ∠ OBD + ∠BOD + 90o = 180o
⇒ ∠ OBD + ∠BOD = 90o ......... (1)
In△OEQ,
∠ EQO + ∠QOE + ∠OEQ = 180o ....... (2)
(The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180o)
⇒ ∠ EQO + ∠QOE + 90o = 180o
⇒ ∠ EQO + ∠QOE = 90o ........ (2)
From (1) and (2), we get
∠ OBD + ∠ BOD = ∠ EQO + ∠ QOE
But ∠BOD = ∠QOE (Vertically Opposite Angles)
∴ ∠ OBD = ∠ EQO
ii. Join BQ
In△BDQ,
∠ DBQ + ∠BQD + ∠QDB = 180o
(The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180o )

⇒ ∠ DBQ + ∠BQD = 90o ........ (1)
In△BQE,
∠ EBQ + ∠BQE + ∠BEQ = 180o
(The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180o)
⇒ ∠ EBQ + ∠BQE + 90o = 180o
⇒ ∠ EBQ + ∠BQE = 90o
Adding (1) and (2), we get
(∠DBQ + ∠EBQ) + (∠BQD + ∠BQE) = 90o + 90o = 180o
⇒ ∠ DBE + ∠EQD = 180o
⇒ ∠ DBE and ∠ EQD are supplementary.

since, ABCD is a quadrilateral
∴ ∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C + ∠ D = (2n – 4)right angles

= 4 × 90o = 360o
∠ A + ∠D = 360o– (∠B + ∠C)
(∠A + ∠D) = 180o – (∠B + ∠C) ........ (3)

33. Given: Length of bigger cardboard box (L) = 25 cm
Breadth (B) = 20 cm and Height (H) = 5 cm
Total surface area of bigger cardboard box
= 2 (LB + BH + HL)
= 2 (25 × 20 + 20 × 5 + 5 × 25)
= 2 (500 + 100 + 125)
= 1450 cm2
5% extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.
⇒ 5% of 1450 = 100
5
× 1450 = 72.5 cm2
Now, total surface area of bigger cardboard box with extra overlaps
= 1450 + 72.5
= 1522.5 cm2
⇒ Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such boxes
= 250 × 1522.5
= 380625 cm2
Since, Cost of the cardboard for 1000 cm2 = Rs. 4
Cost of the cardboard for 1cm2 = Rs
4
∴
1000
Cost of the cardboard for 380625 cm2 = Rs
4
∴ × 380625
1000
= Rs.1522.50
Now length of the smaller box (l) = 15 cm,
Breadth (b) = 12 cm and Height (h) = 5 cm
Total surface area of the smaller cardboard box
=2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (15 × 12 + 12 × 5 + 5 × 15)
= 2 (180 + 60 +75)
= 2 × 15
= 630 cm2
5% of extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.
5% of 630 = = 31.5 cm2
5
∴ × 630
100
Total surface area with extra overlaps = 630 + 31.5 = 661.5 cm2
Now Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such smaller boxes
250 × 661.5 = Rs.165375
Cost of the cardboard for 1000 cm2 = Rs 4
Cost of the cardboard for 1 cm2 =Rs. 1000
4
Cost of the cardboard for 165375 cm2 165375 cm2 =Rs. 1000 = Rs.661.50
4
× 165375
∴ Total cost of the cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind
= Total cost of bigger boxes + Total cost of smaller boxes
= Rs.1522.50 + Rs. 661.50
= Rs.2184
34. In the given figure, ABCD is the trapezium.
Draw a line BE parallel to AD
In △BCE,
The sides of the triangle are of length 15 m, 13 m, and 14 m.
∴ Semi-perimeter of the triangle is
15+13+14 42
s = = = 21m
2 2
⇒ s = 21 m
∴ By Heron's formula.

Also,
Area of △BCE = 1

× Base × Height
⇒ 84 =

2
× 14 × Height
⇒ 84 = 7 × Height
⇒ Height =
84
⇒ Height = 12 m
∴ Height of △BCE = Height of the parallelogram ABED = 12 m
Now,
Area of the parallelogram ABED = Base × Height
= 11 m × 12 m
= 132 m2
∴ Area of the trapezium = Area of the parallelogram ABED + Area of the triangle BCE
= 132 + 84
Area of the trapezium = 216 m2
Hence, the area of a trapezium is 216 m2.
OR
Given, perimeter = 144 cm and ratio of the sides = 3 : 4 : 5
Sum of ratio terms = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12
∴ 1st side, a = 144 × = 36 cm

= √72 × 36 × 24 × 12 = √(36)2 × (24)
2
= 36 × 24 = 864 cm2
Hence, the area of the given triangle is 864 cm2
Let height of a triangle be h cm.
Then, area of triangle = 2 × Base × Height
1
864 = 60 × h [Since the longest side of a triangle is 60 cm, so we consider it as base of the

triangle]
⇒ 864 = 30 h
⇒ h = 28.8 cm
Hence, the height corresponding to the longest side is 28.8 cm.

Section E
36. i. x - y = 10
2x + 3y = 120
ii. 2x + 3y = 120
iii. x - y = 10 ...(1)
2x + 3y = 120 ...(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and to equation (2)
3x - 3y + 2x + 3y = 30 + 120
⇒ 5x = 150
⇒ x = 30
Hence the number thought by Prateek is 30.
OR
We know that x - y = 10 ...(i) and 2x + 3y = 120 ...(ii)
Put x = 30 in equation (i)
30 - y = 10
⇒ y = 40
Hence number thought by Kevin = 40.

ii. We know that the sum of both pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180º.
∠ C + ∠ A = 1800
∠ C = 1800 - 1000 = 800
iii. We know that
The sum of both pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180º.
∠ B + ∠ D = 1800
∠ B = 1800 - 800 = 1000
OR
