SECTION – A [5 x 1 = 5]

1. In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle, AB is a chord, and AT is the tangent at
A. If ∠AOB = 100°, then calculate ∠BAT.

2. Find the number of solid spheres, each of diameter 6 cm, that could be moulded to
form a solid metallic cylinder of height 45 cm and diameter 4 cm.

SECTION – B [4 x 2 = 8]

6. Two tangent TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external point T.
Prove that ∠PTQ=2∠OPQ.

7. From a solid cylinder whose height is 2.4 cm and diameter 1.4 cm, a conical cavity of
the same height and same diameter is hollowed out. Find the total surface area of the
remaining solid to the nearest sq. cm.
8. A solid is in the shape of a cone standing on a hemisphere with both their radii being
equal to 1 cm and the height of the cone is equal to its radius. Find the volume of the
solid in terms of π.
9. A survey was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environment
awareness programme, in which they collected the following data regarding the
number of plants in 20 houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.

No. of plants 0-2 2-4 4-6 6-8 8-10 10-12 12-14

No. of houses 1 2 1 5 6 2 3

Which method will you use for finding the mean, and why?

10. A triangle ABC is drawn to circumscribe a circle of radius 4 cm such that the
segments BD and DC into which BC is divided by the point of contact D are of
lengths 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the sides AB and AC.

11. A solid iron pole consists of a cylinder of height 220 cm and base diameter of 24 cm,
which is surmounted by another cylinder of height 60 cm and radius 8 cm. Find the
mass of the pole, given that 1 cm3 of iron has approximately 8g mass. (Use π = 3.14)

elevation and depression of the top and the foot of another house on the opposite side
of the street are α and β respectively. Show that the height of the opposite house is
h(1+tanα.cotβ) metres.
