Therefore, the point (-3, 5) lies in II quadrant.


2. (c) 5 cm

Explanation: If figure, DE and DF are tangents to the circle drawn from D.

A is the centre of the circle.

DE = 5 cm and DE ⊥ DF

Join AE, AF

DE is the tangent and AE is radius

AE ⊥ DE

Similarly, AF ⊥ DF

But ∠ D = 90o (given)

AFDE is a square

AE = DE (side of square)

But DE = 5 cm

AE = 5 cm

Radius of circle is 5 cm

5. (d) 40 years

Explanation: Let us assume the present age of men be x years

Also, the present age of his son be y years

According to question, after 5 years:

(x + 5) = 3 (y + 5)

x + 5 = 3y + 15

x - 3y = 10 …(i)

Also, five years ago:

(x - 5) = 7 (y - 5)

x - 5 = 7y - 35

x - 7y = - 30 …(ii)

Now, on subtracting (i) from (ii) we get:

- 4y = - 40

y = 10

Putting the value of y in (i), we get

x - 3 ×  10 = 10

x - 30 = 10

x = 10 + 30

x = 40

∴  The present age of men is 40 years

6. (c) -7

Explanation: Since y-coordinate of a point is called ordinate. Its distance from the x-axis measured parallel to the y-axis

Therefore, the ordinate is -7.


7. (b) 0.6

Explanation: P(losing the game) = 1 - P (winning the game) = (1 - 0.4) = 0.6


8. (a) 2πr3

Explanation: Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr3

Volume of a cylinder = πr2h

Given, sphere is placed inside a right circular cylinder so as to touch the top, base and lateral surface of the cylinder and
the radius of the sphere is r.

Thus, height of the cylinder = diameter = 2r and base radius = r

Volume of the cylinder = π ×  r2 ×  2r = 2πr3


9. (d)

26

Explanation: In a deck of 52 cards, there are 12 face cards i.e. 6 red (3 hearts and 3 diamonds) and 6 black cards (3
spade and 3 clubs)

So, probability of getting a red face card = 6/52 = 3/26


10. (d) b2 - 4ac = 0

Explanation: The roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, In this formula the term b2 - 4ac is called the
discriminant. If b2 - 4ac = 0, so the equation has a single repeated root. If b2 - 4ac > 0, the equation has two real roots. If

b2 - 4ac < 0, the equation has two complex roots.

Hence, For D = 0, roots are real and equal (coincident).


11. (a) cubic equation

Explanation: Given: (x + 2)3 = 2x(x2 - 1)

⇒  x3 + 8 + 3 ×  x ×  2(x + 2) = 2x3 - 2x

⇒  x3 + 8 + 6x2 + 12x = 2x3 - 2x

⇒  2x3 - x3 - 6x2 - 12x - 2x - 8 = 0

⇒  x3 - 6x2 - 14x - 8 = 0

Here since the degree is 3, therefore, it is a cubic equation.

then (x1 = a, y1 = 0 ), ( x2 = x, y2 = y) and  (x3 = 0, y3 = b)

therefore x1( y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2) = 0

= a(y - b) + x(b - 0) + 0(0 - y) = 0

17. (c) 180

Explanation: It is given that: a =  (22 ×  33 ×  54) and b = (23 ×  32 ×  5)

∴  HCF (a, b) = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 22 ×  32 ×  5 = 180
18. (b) one solution

Explanation: Here, a unique solution of each variable of a pair of linear equations is given, therefore, it has one solution
to a system of linear equations.
19. (c) A is true but R is false.

Explanation: HCF (a, b) ×  LCM (a, b) = a ×  b

⇒  8 ×  LCM = 280

⇒  LCM =   = 35

A is true but R is false.


20. (d) A is false but R is true.

Explanation: Similar triangles are not always congruent.


Section B
Number of favourble outcomes
21. Total number of favourable outcomes = 90P robability of the event =
T otal number of possible outcomes

i. Number of two-digit numbers from 1 to 90 are 90 - 9 = 81

∴  Favourable outcomes = 81

Hence, P (getting a disc bearing a two-digit number) =


81 9
=
90 10

ii. From 1 to 90, the perfect squares are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81.

∴  Favourable outcomes = 9

Hence P (getting a perfect square) = 90


9
=
1

10

iii. The numbers divisible by 5 from 1 to 90 are 18.

∴  Favourable outcomes = 18

Hence P (getting a number divisible by 5) =


18 1
=
90 5

22. Step 1: By substitution method, we pick either of the equations and write one variable in terms of the other.

7x – 15y = 2 ...(1)

and x + 2y = 3 ...(2)

Let us consider the Equation (2):

x + 2y = 3 and write it as x = 3 – 2y ...(3)

Step 2: Now substitute the value of x in Equation (1)

We get 7(3 – 2y) – 15y = 2

i.e., 21 – 14y – 15y = 2

i.e., – 29y = –19

Therefore y =

19

29

Step 3: Substituting this value of y in Equation (3), we get

x = 3 − 2( ) =

Therefore, the solution is x =

Let the cost of full and half first class fare be ₹ x and ₹ x/2 respectively and reservation charges be ₹ y per ticket.

Case I 

The cost of one reserved first class ticket from the stations A to B

= ₹ 2530

x + y = 2530  …(i)
Case II

The cost of one reserved first class ticket and one reserved first class half ticket from stations A to B = ₹ 3810

+ 2y = 3810

3x + 4y = 7620 ..(ii)

Now, multiplying Eq. (i) by 4 and then subtracting from Eq. (ii), we get

(3x + 4y) − (3x + 4y) = 7610 − 10120

- x = - 2500

x = 2500

On putting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get

2500 + y = 2530

y = 30

Hence, full first class fare from stations A to B is ₹ 2500 and the reservation for a ticket is ₹ 30.
23. The quadratic equation is given as: 4u2 + 8u

it can be written in the standard form as: 

= 4u2 + 8u + 0

= 4u (u + 2)

The value of 4u2 + 8u is zero when 4u = 0 or u + 2 = 0,

i.e., u = 0 or u = −2

Therefore, the zeroes of 4u2 + 8u are 0 and −2

Now, ∠OAP + ∠AOP + ∠AP O = 180

⇒ (a + b)x + (a + b)y = a2 + b2 ....(2)

Substracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get

-2bx = -2ab - 2b2

2
−2b(a+b)
⇒ x =
−2ab−2b

−2b
=
−2b
= a + b

Substituting this value of x in equation (1), we get

(a - b)(a + b) + (a + b)y = a2 - 2ab - b2

⇒ a2 - b2 + (a + b)y = a2 - 2ab - b2

⇒ (a + b)y = -2ab

−2ab
⇒ y =
a+b

Hence, the solution of the given pair of linear equations is

−2ab
x = a + b, y = a+b

Verification : Substituting x = a + b, y = ,

−2ab

a+b

We find that both the equations (1) and (2) are satisfied as shown below:

−2ab
(a - b)x + (a + b)y = (a - b)(a + b) + (a + b)( a+b
)

= a2 - 2ab - b2

(a + b)(x + y) = (a + b){a + b − 2ab


}

a+b

= (a + b)2 - 2ab = a2 + b2

This verifies the solution.



28. Let us prove √5 irrational by contradiction.


Let us suppose that √5 is rational. It means that we have co-prime integers a and b (b ≠ 0)


Such that

a
√5 =
b

⇒  b √5 =a

Squaring both sides, we get

⇒ 5b 2 =a 2 ... (1)

It means that 5 is factor of a2

Hence, 5 is also factor of a by Theorem. ... (2)

If, 5 is factor of a , it means that we can write a = 5c for some integer c .

Substituting value of a in (1) ,

5b2 = 25c2

⇒ b2 =5c2

It means that 5 is factor of b2 .

Hence, 5 is also factor of b by Theorem. ... (3)

From (2) and (3) , we can say that 5 is factor of both a and b .

But, a and b are co-prime .


Therefore, our assumption was wrong. √5 cannot be rational. Hence, it is irrational.

Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on 56 and remainder 32

56 = 32 ×  1 + 24.

Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on 32 and remainder 24

32 = 24 ×  1+ 8.

Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on 24 and remainder 8

24 = 8 ×  3 + 0. Therefore, H.C.F. of 56 and 88 = 8

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 18 cm.


30. Given: AB =AC and AM is the bisector of ∠BAC .

To prove: AM passes through O.

Construction: Join BC. Let AM intersect BC at P.

Proof: In ΔBAP  and ΔC AP

AB = AC   [Given]

∠BAP = ∠C AP  [Given]

And AP = BP [Common side]

∴ ΔBAP ≅ ΔC AP  [By SAS congruency]

∴ ∠BP A = ∠C P A  [By C.P.C.T.]

And CP = PB

But ∠BP A + ∠C P A = 180

 [Linear pair ∠s ]

∴ ∠BP A = ∠C P A = 90

∴   AP is perpendicular bisector of the chord BC, which will pass through the centre O on being produced.

Hence, AM passes through O.

Let APB be the tangent and take O as centre of the circle.

Let us suppose that MP⊥ AB does not pass through the centre.

Then,

∠OP A = 90

[∵ Tangent is perpendicular to the radius of circle]

But ∠M P A = [Given]

∴ ∠OP A = ∠M P A

This is only possible when point O and point M coincide with each other.

Hence, the perpendicular at the point of contact to the tangent to a circle passes through the centre of the circle.

⇒  100x + x2 = 2400

⇒  x2 + 100x - 2400 = 0

⇒  x2 + 120x -20x -2400 = 0

⇒ x(x + 120) − 20(x + 120) = 0

⇒  (x + 120) (x - 20) = 0

⇒  x = 20, -120

⇒  x = 20 [because x > 0 ]

Hence, the cost price of the toy is Rs. 20.
