(ANSWERS)
SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS MAX. MARKS : 40
CLASS : X DURATION: 2 HRS
General Instructions:
1. The question paper consists of 14 questions divided into 3 sections A, B, C.
2. Section A comprises of 6 questions of 2 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in two
questions.
3. Section B comprises of 4questions of 3 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in one
question.
4. Section C comprises of 4 questions of 4 marks each. An internal choice has been provided in
one question. It contains two case study based questions.

SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 6 carry 2 marks each.
1. If a point P is 13 cm away from the centre O of a circle and the length PT of the tangent drawn
from P to the circle is 12 cm. Then find the radius of the circle.
Ans: In ∆PTO, OP2 = PT2 + OT2
⇒ 132 = 122 + OT2 ⇒ 169 – 144 = OT2 ⇒ 25 = OT2 ⇒ OT = 5 cm

2. For what value of k will k + 11, 2k – 1 and 2k + 7 are the consecutive terms of an A.P.?
Ans: Let k + 11, 2k – 1 and 2k + 7 are in A.P.
∴ (2k – 1) – (k + 11) = (2k + 7) – (2k – 1)
⇒ 2k – 1 – k – 11 = 2k + 7 – 2k + 1
⇒ k – 12 = 8 ⇒ k = 20

3. Find the roots of the quadratic equation a2b2x2 + b2x – a2x – 1 = 0.

Ans: The given quadratic equation is a2b2x2 + b2x – a2x – 1 = 0
⇒ b2x (a2x + 1) – 1 (a2x + 1) = 0
⇒ (a2x + 1)(b2x – 1) = 0 ⇒ a2x + 1 = 0 or b2x – 1 = 0
⇒ x = −1 / a2 or x = 1 / b2
OR
Find the value of k, for which the quadratic equation x2 – kx + 4 = 0 has equal roots.
Ans: The given equation is, x2 – kx + 4 = 0
For equal roots, D = b2 – 4ac = 0
⇒ (–k)2 – 4(1)(4) = 0 ⇒ k2 = 16 ⇒ k = ± 4

4. Find two consecutive positive integers, the sum of whose squares is 61.
Ans: Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and x + 1.
According to question, x2 + (x + 1)2 = 61
⇒ x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 = 61
⇒ 2x2 + 2x = 60 ⇒ x2 + x – 30 = 0
⇒ x2 + 6x – 5x – 30 = 0 ⇒ x(x + 6) – 5(x + 6) = 0 ⇒ (x + 6)(x – 5) = 0
⇒ x = -6 or x = 5 ⇒ x = 5 [Since x is a positive integer]
And x + 1 = 6
∴ The two consecutive positive integers are 5 and 6.

5. The mode of the following frequency distribution is 38. Find the value of x.
Class 0 – 10 10 – 20 20 – 30 30 – 40 40 – 50 50 – 60 60 – 70
Frequency 7 9 12 16 x 6 11
Ans:

6. A cone and a hemisphere have equal bases and equal volumes. Find the sum of the numerator
and denominator of ratio of height of cone and radius of hemisphere.
Ans: Let r be the radius of both the cone and hemisphere and h be the height of the cone.
∴ Volume of cone = Volume of hemisphere

∴ Required sum = 2 + 1 = 3
OR
Three cubes each of edge 3 cm are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting
cuboid.
Ans: Length of the resulting cuboid = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 cm
Breadth of the resulting cuboid = 3 cm
Height of the resulting cuboid = 3 cm

∴ Surface area of the resulting cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

= 2(9 × 3 + 3 × 3 + 3 × 9) = 2 × 63 = 126 cm2

SECTION – B
Questions 7 to 10 carry 3 marks each.

7. Calculate the mean and median for the following frequency distribution:

8. Draw a circle of radius 5 cm. From a point P, 8 cm away from its centre, construct a pair of tangents
to the circle. Measure the length of each one of the tangents.
Ans: Steps of construction :
Step-I : Draw a circle with O as centre and radius 5 cm.
Step-II : Mark a point P outside the circle such that OP = 8 cm.
Step-III : Join OP and draw its perpendicular bisector, which cuts OP at M.
Step-IV : Draw a circle with M as centre and radius equal to MP to intersect the given circle at the
point T and T′. Join PT and PT′.
Hence, PT and PT′ are the required tangents.

9. A person walking 20 m towards a chimney in a horizontal line through its base observes that its
angle of elevation changes from 30° to 45°. Find the height of chimney.
Ans: Suppose height of the chimney is h metres. Let A and B be the point of observation and BC
be x m.

OR

elevation of the top of lighthouse from 45° to 30°. Find the speed of the boat. [Use √3 = 1.732]

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 3-

 Ans: Let AB be the lighthouse of height 150 m.
Let initially boat is at C and after 2 minutes it reaches at D.

10. If the median of the distribution given below is 28.5, then find the values of x and y.

12. Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles
at the centre of the circle.
Ans: Let ABCD be the quadrilateral circumscribing a circle at the center
O such that it touches the circle at the point P,Q,R,S. Let join the vertices of the quadrilateral
ABCD to the center of the circle
In ΔOAP and ΔOAS
AP=AS ( Tangents from to same point A)
PO=OS ( Radii of the same circle)
OA=OA ( Common side)
so, ΔOAP=ΔOAS (SSS congruence criterion)
∴ ∠POA=∠AOS (CPCT)
⇒ ∠1=∠8
Similarly, ∠2=∠3, ∠4=∠5 and ∠6=∠7
∠1+∠2 +∠3+∠4+∠5+∠6+∠7+∠8 = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1 +∠8) +(∠2 +∠3) + (∠4 +∠5) + (∠6 +∠7) = 360⁰
⇒ 2(∠1) + 2(∠2) + 2(∠5) + 2(∠6) = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1) + (∠2) + (∠5) + (∠6) = 180⁰
∴ ∠AOD + ∠COD=180⁰
Similarly, ∠BOC + ∠DOA = 180⁰

OR
A circle is inscribed in a DABC having sides 16 cm, 20 cm and 24 cm as shown in figure. Find
AD, BE and CF.

Ans: Since, tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
∴ AD = AF = x, BD = BE = y and CE = CF = z
According to the question,
AB = x + y = 24 cm ...(i)

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 5-

 BC = y + z = 16 cm ...(ii)
AC = x + z = 20 cm ...(iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (i), we get
y – z = 4 ...(iv)
Adding (ii) and (iv), we get
2y = 20 ⇒ y = 10 cm
Substituting the value of y in (i) and (ii), we get
x = 14 cm, z = 6 cm
∴ AD = 14 cm, BE = 10 cm and CF = 6 cm.
