Solution of Sample Paper

Section – A

1 . a = 6 , d = 3 ;

a₂₅ = 6 + 24 ( 3 ) = 78

a₁₅ = 6 + 14 ( 3 ) = 48

a₂₅ – a₁₅ = 78 – 48

a₂₅ – a₁₅ = 30

OR

7 ( a + 6d ) = 5 ( a + 4d )

⇒ 2a + 22d = 0

⇒ a + 11d = 0

⇒ t₁₂ = 0

Detailed Solution :

6 , 9 , 12 , 15 , …… is the given A.P.

First term = a = 6

Common Difference = d = 9 – 6 = 3

n^th term = a_n = a + ( n – 1 ) d

25^th term = a₂₅

= 6 + ( 25 – 1 ) x 3

= 6 + ( 24 ) x 3

= 6 +72

= 78

15^th = a₁₅

= 6 + ( 15-1 ) x 3

= 6 + ( 14 ) x 3

= 6 + 42

= 48

a₂₅ – a₁₅ = 78 – 48 = 30

OR

Let ‘ a ‘ and ‘ d ’ be the first term and common difference of AP

n^th term = a_n = a + ( n – 1 ) d

7^th term = a₇ = a + ( 7-1 ) d = a + 6d

5^th term = a₅ = a + ( 5-1 ) d = a + 4d

According to the Questions ,

7a₇ = 5a₅

7 ( a + 6d ) = 5 ( a + 4d )

7a + 42d = 5a + 20d

7a – 5a + 42d – 20d = 0

2a + 22d = 0

2 ( a + 11d ) = 0

a + 11d = 0 ….(i)

12^th term = a₁₂

= a + 11d

= 0 ( From ( i )

Hence , 12^th term is zero .

2. Given 5mx² – 6mx + 9 = 0

Since , b² – 4ac = 0

for equal roots

( -6 m ) ² – 4 ( 5 m ) ( 9 ) = 0

⇒ 36m ( m – 5 ) = 0

⇒ m = 0,5 ; rejecting m = 0 ,

we get m = 5

Detailed Solution :

Since , mx ( 5x – 6 ) + 9 = 0 has equal roots

∴ Discriminant = 0

⇒ b² – 4ac = 0 ….(i)

Quadratic equation can be written as

5mx² – 6mx + 9 = 0

Here , a = 5m , b = -6m , c = 9

Put in ( i ) ,

( 6 m ) ² – 4 ( 5 m ) ( 9 ) = 0 (m = 0)

36m² – 180m = 0 or m = 5

= 36 m ( m – 5 ) = 0

Either m = 0 or m = 5

Since , m = 0 is not possible

Hence , m = 5

3.

Let ∠APO = θ

Sinθ = OA / OP = 1/2 ⇒ θ = 30°

⇒ ∠APB = 2 θ = 60 °

Also ∠PAB = ∠PBA = 60 ° ( ∴ PA = PB )

⇒ △APB is equilateral

Detailed Solution :

Radius of given circle OA = r units

Let , ∠APO = θ

Radius is always perpendicular to tangent

= OA ⊥ AP

So , ∠OAP = 90 °

∴ △OAP is a right angled triangle

In △OAP ,

sin θ = OA / OP

sin θ = r/2r = 1/2

sin θ = sin 30⁰

⇒ θ = 30 °

∠APO = 30 °

∠APB = 2 x ∠APO = 2 x 30 ° = 60 °

PA = PB [ Length of tangents from an external point are equal in length ]

Let , ∠ABP = ∠BAP = x

So , from △APB ,

∠APB + ∠ABP + ∠BAP = 180 ° [ Angle sum property of triangle ]

60 ° + x + x = 180 °

or x = 60 °

∴ △APB is equilateral triangle .

4. CSA ( cone ) = πrl = 12320 cm²

22/7 x 56 x l = 12320

l = 70 cm

= 42 cm

Detailed Solution :

Let Height of cone = h

Radius of cone = 56 cm

C.S.A of cone = 12320 cm²

Let slant height of cone = l cm

Curved surface area of cone = πrl

⇒ 12320 = 22/7 x 56 x l

⇒ 12320 × 7 / 22 × 56 = l

⇒ l = 70 cm

Now, l² = h² + r²

⇒ ( 70 ) ² = h² + ( 56 ) ²

⇒ h² = 4900 – 3136

⇒ h² = 1764

⇒ h² = 42²

⇒ h = 42 cm

5. Modal class is 40-60 , l = 40 ,

Detailed Solution :

Mode = 45

⇒ Modal class = 40 – 60

Lower limit of modal class ( l ) = 40

Size of modal class ( h ) = 20

Frequency corresponding to modal class

( F₁ ) = x

Frequency preceding to modal class

( F₀ ) = 10

Frequency preceding to modal class ( F₂ ) = 6

6. Let the present age of Ritu be x years

( x – 5 ) ² = 5x + 11

x² – 15x + 14 = 0

( x – 14 ) ( x – 1 ) = 0

⇒ x = 1 or 14

x = 14 years ( rejecting x = 1 as in that case Ritu’s age 5 years ago will be -ve )

OR

9x² – 6px + ( p² – q² ) = 0

a = 9 , b = -6p , c = p² – q²

D = b² – 4ac

= ( -6p ) ² – 4 ( 9 ) ( p² – q² )

= 36q²

Detailed Solution :

Let present age of Ritu = x years

As per question given the following equation can be formed :

⇒ ( x – 5 ) ² = 11 + 5x

⇒ x² – 10x + 25 = 11 + 5x

⇒ x² – 10x – 5x + 25 – 11 = 0

⇒ x² – 15x + 14 = 0

⇒ x² – 14x – 1x + 14 = 0

⇒ x ( x – 14 ) – 1 ( x – 14 ) = 0

⇒ ( x – 14 ) ( x – 1 ) = 0

⇒ x – 14 = 0 , x – 1 = 0

x = 14 , x = 1

Since , her age can’t be 1 , so her present age will be 14 years .

OR

9x² – 6px + ( p² – q² ) = 0

In comparing with

ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 9 , b = -6p , c = p² -q²

Solve by quadratic formula ,

D = b² – 4ac

= ( -6p ) ² – 4 ( 9 ) ( p² – q² )

= 36p² – 36p² + 36q²

= 36q²

Section – B

7 .

Detailed Solution :

Take = N/2 = 250/2 = 125

∴ Median class = 2 – 3

Lower limit of median class ( l ) = 2

Size of median class ( h ) = 1

Frequency corresponding to median class

( f ) = 62

Total number of observations

Frequency ( N ) = 250

Cumulative frequency preceding

Median class ( c.f. ) = 120

∴ 50 % of students jumped below 2.08 m and 50 % of students jumped above 2.08 m .

9 .

10 .

Detailed Solution :

Let the heights of two pole be y and x .

Distance between the poles is QS = 20 m .

OR

Height of Boy = AB = 1.7 m

= QR = 1.7 m

Distance between Boy and building

BR = 50 m

⇒ AQ = 50 m

In △PQA , ∠Q = 90 °

tan 60 ° = PQ / AQ

√3 = PQ / 50

50√3 = PQ

Total height of the building = PQ + QR

= 86.5 + 1.7

= 88.2 m .

Section – C

11. Volume of shell = Volume of cylinder

Detailed Solution :

Internal radius ( r ) = 3 cm

External radius ( R ) = 5 cm

Radius of cylinder ( R₁ ) = 14 / 2 = 7 cm

Let height of cylinder = h cm

According to the question ,

[ When one shape is reshaped into another shape the volumes are same of both shapes ]

or 425.33 cm²

12 .

∠OAP + ∠OBP + ∠APB + ∠AOB = 360

⇒ 90 ° + 90 ° + ∠APB + ∠AOB = 360 ° ( ∴ Tangent ⊥ radius )

⇒ ∠APB + ∠AOB = 180 °

OR

Let ∠PTQ = θ

TPQ is an isosceles triangle

∠OPT = 90°

Detailed Solution :

Given : PA and PB are two tangents to a circle with centre O.

To Prove :

∠APB + ∠AOB = 180 °

Proof : □ OAPB is a quadrilateral , OA is radius and PA & PB are tangents .

∴ ∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90 ° [ Radius is always perpendicular to tangent ]

By angle sum property of quadrilateral .

∴ ∠AOB + ∠OBP + ∠APB + ∠OAP

= 360 °

∠AOB + 90 ° + ∠APB + 90 ° = 360 °

∴ ∠APB + ∠AOB = 180 °

Hence Proved .

OR

Given : A circle with centre O two tangents

TP and TQ to the circle where P and Q are the point of contact .

To Prove : ∠PTQ = 2∠OPQ

Proof : TP = TQ [ length of tangents drawn from same external point to a circle are equal ]

∴ ∠TQP = ∠TPQ …( i ) [ Angles opposite to equal sides are equal ]

Now , PT is a tangent & OP is radius

∴ OP ⊥ TP [ Radius and Tangent are perpendicular to each other ]

⇒ ∠OPT = 90 °

∠OPQ + ∠TPQ = 90 °

∠TPQ = 90 ° – ∠OPQ …( ii )

In △PTQ ,

By angle sum property of triangle ,

∠TPQ + ∠TQP + ∠PTQ = 180 ° [ From ( i ) ]

∠TPQ + ∠TPQ + ∠PTQ = 180 °

⇒ 2 ∠TPQ + ∠PTQ = 180 °

⇒ 2 ( 90 ° – ∠OPQ ) + ∠PTQ = 180 ° [ From ( ii ) ]

⇒ 180 – 2∠OPQ + ∠PTQ = 180 °

∠PTQ = 2∠OPQ

Hence Proved .

13. 

Detailed Solution :

Distance of foot from the foot of observation tower = 240 √3 m .

( ii ) After 10 minutes ,

Distance between boat and light house is reduced by

= 24 ( √3 – 1 ) m

Distance between boat and light house

= 240 √3 – 240 ( √3 – 1 )

= 240 √3 – 240 √3 + 240

= 240 m

Let the point C is the new position of boat ,

tan θ = AB / BC = 240/240

⇒ θ = 45 °

Case Study – 2

14. ( i ) 3000 , 3005 , 3010 , … , 3900

a_n = a + ( n – 1 ) d

3900 = 3000 + ( n – 1 ) 5

⇒ 900 = 5n – 5 ⇒ 5n = 905

⇒ n = 181

Minimum number of days of practice = n – 1

= 180 days

( ii )

Detailed Solution :

( i ) By the given situation the A.P. to be formed is :

3000 , 3005 , 3010 , …… 3900

First term = a = 3000

Common Difference = d = 3005 – 3000

d = 5

According to the problem

n^th term ( a_n ) = 3900

To Find n

n^th term = a_n

= a + ( n – 1 ) d

3900 = 3000 + ( n – 1 ) 5

3900 – 3000 = ( n – 1 ) 5

900 = ( n – 1 ) 5

900/5 = n – 1

180 + 1 = n

or n = 181

Minimum number of days he needs to practice before his goal is accomplished

= 181 – 1 [ Excluding the last day ]

= 180

( ii ) Total Number of push – ups performed means sum of all push – ups he did in 181 days .

∴ S_n = n/2 [ a + 1 ] ….( i)

S_n = Sum of all push – ups in 181 days .

n = number of days = 181

a = first term of the A.P.

= 3000

l = last term = 3900

Put all values in ( i )

Total number of Push – ups performed in 181 days

= 624450
