Reduced Syllabus: Class X: Mathematics (Standard) : 80 Marks: 2020-2021 Deleted Topics

The document outlines reductions to the mathematics syllabus for Class X in India for the 2020-2021 school year. Key points include: - Several topics were totally deleted, such as real numbers from Number Systems and trigonometric identities from Trigonometry. - For other topics, such as Quadratic Equations and Arithmetic Progressions, problems will be restricted to situational examples related to daily life. - The syllabus was reduced from 100 to 80 marks and reorganized into 6 units. - The blueprint details how marks will be allocated to different question types from each chapter, with the largest proportion (24 marks) going to short answer/long answer questions.

i) (Prove) If a line is drawn parallel to one side of triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct
points, the other two sides are divided inthe same ratio.
ii) (Motivate) If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, the line is parallel to the third
side.
iii) (Motivate) It in two triangles, the corresponding angles are equal, their corresponding sides are
proportional and the triangles are similar.
iv) (Motivate) If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, their corresponding
angles are equal and the two triangles are similar.
v) )(Motivate) If one angle of triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the sides including
these angles are proportional, the two triangles are similar.
vi) (Motivate) If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangly to the
hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to
each other.
vii) (Prove) The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their
corresponding sides. (only theorem)
viii) (Prove) In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the
other two sides.
ix) (Prove) In a triangle, if the square on one side is equal to sum of the squares on the other two
sides the angles opposite to the first side is a right angle.
