Solution of Sample Paper

Section – A

1. Given: 2x² – 4x + 3 = 0

On comparing above with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get

a = 2, b = -4 and c = 3

Now, D = b² – 4ac           1

= (-4)² – 4 × 2 × 3

= 16 – 24

= -8

Here, b² – 4ac < 0

Hence, the given equation has no real roots.           1

2. Let the number of recast balls be n

radius of cylinder R = 3.5 cm

height of cylinder h = 14 cm

radius of recast balls r = 7/12 cm

∴ Volume of n balls = Volume of cylinder

OR

Let the height of the cylindrical glass be h cm.

Radius of the cylindrical glass = 15/2 cm

Volume of water in the cylindrical glass

           1

Volume of cube = Side³ = 12 x 12 x 12

Volume of water displaced in cylinder = Volume of cube

          1

3. Modal class = 700-875. (Highest frequency class)

4. Given: first term (a) = -1

Common difference (d) = 4 – (-1) = 5

and a_n = 129

∴ a + (n – 1) d = 129 [Using formula of n^th term]

⇒ – 1 + (n – 1)5 = 129            1

⇒ 5(n – 1) = 130

⇒ n – 1 = 26

⇒ n = 27.            1

5.

              2

6. Here,

AC = CQ (Tangents from external point to a circle)

PA = PC + CA = PC + CQ (∴ CA = CQ)

⇒ 12 = PC + 3

⇒ PC = 12 – 3 = 9 cm            1

Similarly, PC = PD = 9 cm

∴ PC + PD = 9 + 9 = 18 cm.              1

OR

Sol. Here,

∴ ∠AOP = 180°- (90° + 35°) = 55° (Angle sum property)           ½

∠PAB = 180°- (90° + 35°)

= 55°          1

Section – B

7. Let n^th term of A.P.,

a_n = n² + 1

Putting the values of n = 1, 2, 3, ….., we get

a₁ = 1² + 1 = 2

a₂ = 2² + 1 = 5

a₃ = 3² + 1 = 10            1

The obtained sequence

= 2, 5, 10, 17,…….

Their common difference

=a₂ – a₁ = a₃ -a₂ = a₄ – a₃

or, 5 – 2 ≠ 10 – 5 ≠ 17 – 10

∴ 3 ≠ 5 ≠ 7           1

Since the common difference are not equal. Hence, n² + 1 is not a form of n^th term of an A.P.          1

OR

Sol. Here n = 25 and a_n = 7 – 3n

Taking n = 1, 2, 3, ….., we get

a₁ = 7 – 3 x 1 = 4

a₂ = 7 – 3 x 2 = 1

and a₃ = 7 – 3 x 3 = -2             1

∴ Given A.P. is 4, 1, -2,……

Here, a = 4 and d = 1 – 4 = -3               ½

Since,

8. Steps of construction:

           2

1. Draw a line segment OP = 8 cm.

2. Taking O as centre and radius 4 cm, draw a circle.

3. Taking OP as diameter draw another circle which intersects the first circle at Q and R.

4. Join P to Q and P to R.

On measuring, we get PQ = PR = 6.93 cm            1

9. Substituting x = 2/3 in ax² + 7x + b = 0

Again, substituting x = − 3 in ax² + 7x + b = 0

9a – 21 + b = 0           1

⇒ 9a + b = 21 …(ii)           ½

Solving (i) and (ii), we get

a = 3 and b = -6              1

10. (i) In ΔΟΑΒ, ∠A = 90°,

x/y = tan 45° = 1

⇒ x = y           1

Section – C

11. Diameter of copper rod, D = 1 cm

Radius of copper rod, R = 1/2 cm

Length of copper rod, I = 8 cm

Length of drawn wire, L = 18 m = 1800 cm           1

Since copper rod is drawn into wire of uniform thickness.

∴ Volume of wire = Volume of copper rod.

πr²L = πR²l [r = Radius of drawn wire]           1

OR

Let the radius of 1^st sphere = r and height of first sphere = h cm.

Let the radius of 2^nd sphere = R and height = H

According to the question,

12. Given: A circle with centre O is inscribed in a quadrilateral ABCD.

In △AEO and △AFO,

OE = OF (radii of circle)

∠OEA = ∠OFA = 90° (radius is ⊥ to tangent)

AE = AF (tangent of a circle)

△AEO ≅ △AFO (SAS congruency)

∠7 = ∠8 …..(i) (CPCT)

         1

Similarly,

∠1 = ∠2 ….(ii)

∠3 = ∠4 …..(iii)

∠5 = ∠6 …(iv)         1

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 = 360°         1

(angle around a point is 360°)

2∠1 +2∠8 +2∠4 +2∠5 = 360°

∠1+∠8+ ∠4 + ∠5 = 180°

(∠1+∠8) + (∠4 + ∠5) = 180°

∠AOB + ∠COD = 180°        1

Hence Proved.

In △ABC,

Hence, the length of the string is 104 m approx.           1

(ii) Let ABC be a right angle triangle at ∠B = 90°

Hence, the length of the string is 180 m.        1
