Sample Paper 8 Solutions

Class – X Exam 2021-22 (TERM – II)
Mathematics Standard (041)
Time Allowed: 120 minutes Maximum Marks: 40
General Instructions:
1. The question paper consists of 14 questions divided into 3 sections A, B, C.
2. All questions are compulsory.
3. Section A comprises of 6 questions of 2 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in two questions.
4. Section B comprises of 4 questions of 3 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in one question.
5. 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.

2. If seven times the 7th term of an AP is equal to

SECTION A eleven times the 11th term, then what will be its
18th term.


Ans :
1. Find the positive value of k for which x2 − 8x + k = 0
Let the first term be a , common difference be d and
, will have real roots.
n th term be an .


Ans :
7a7 = 11a11
7 ^a + 6d h = 11 ^a + 10d h
2
We have x − 8x + k = 0 Now
2
Comparing with Ax + Bx + C = 0 we get 7a + 42d = 11a + 110d
A = 1, B =− 8, C = k 11a - 7a = 42d − 110d
Since the given equation has real roots, , 4a =− 68d
B2 − 4AC > 0
4a + 68d = 0
^- 8h2 - 4 ^1 h^k h $ 0
4 ^a + 17d h = 0
64 - 4k $ 0
a + 17d = 0
16 - k $ 0
Hence, a18 = 0
16 $ k
Thus k # 16
3. In figure, O is the centre of the circle and LN is a


O diameter. If PQ is a tangent to the circle at K and
If x2 + y2 = 25 , xy = 12 , then what is the value of +KLN = 30º , find +PKL.
x?

Ans :

We have x2 + y2 = 25
and xy = 12

x2 + b 12 l = 25
2

x
x 4 + 144 − 25x2 = 0
^x2 - 16h ^x2 - 9h = 0
Hence, x2 = 16 & x = ! 4

Ans :
and x2 = 9
Since OK and OL are radius of circle, thus
& x =! 3
OK = OL
Angles opposite to equal sides are equal,

For the series ^5 + 9 + 13 .....81h 15 = 1

a = 5 , d = 4 and an = 81 x+y
Now an = a + ^n − 1h d x + y = 15
81 = 5 + ^n − 1h 4 5 3 + y = 15
81 = 5 + ^n − 1h 4 y = 15 − 5 3
^n - 1h 4 = 76 & n = 20 = 5 ^3 − 3 h m

Sn = 20 ^5 + 81h = 860 Hence, the distance between points = 5 ^3 − 3h m

2 Steps of Construction :
Sum of the series = 860 − 440 = 420 1. Draw two circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm.
2. Take a point P on the outer circle and bisect OP
. Let M be the mid-point.
8. Two points A and B are on the same side of a tower 3. Now, draw a circle by taking M as centre and
and in the same straight line with its base. The OM = MP as radius. This circle intersects the
angle of depression of these points from the top of smaller circle at Q and R .
the tower are 60c and 45c respectively. If the height
of the tower is 15 m, then find the distance between
these points.


Ans :
Let CD be the tower of height 15 m. Let A and B
point on same side of tower As per given in question
we have drawn figure below.

4. Join PQ and PR . These are the two required

tangents. On measuring, we find that
PQ = PR = 4 cm (approx).
Justification :
Since +OQP = 90c by Pythagoras theorem
OP2 = OQ2 + QP2
52 = 32 + PQ2
In right TDCA we have PQ = 4 cm
DC = tan 60c

As per question the figure is shown below. 11. In figure PQ is a tangent from an external point P
to a circle with centre O and OP cuts the circle at
T and +QOR is a diameter. If +POR = 130c and
S is a point on the circle, find +1 + +2 .

Here radius of toy is equal to the radius of cylinder

which is 3.5 cm.

Ans :
Radius of toy = radius of cylinder = 3.5 cm Here +OQP = 90c because radius is always
Vol. of toy = Vol. of cylinder- 2 # Vol. of hemisphere perpendicular to tangent at point of contact.

(i) How far out to sea is the nearer boat?
(ii) How far apart are the two boats?

Let d1 be the distance of nearer boat from sea and
d2 be the distance between two boat. We draw a
diagram of the situation as shown below.

Now tan 60c = 150

d1
3 = 150

Now tan 45c = 150
d1 + d2

d1 d2 150
Substituting value of d1 we have
86.6 + d2 = 150
d2 = 150 − 86.6 = 63.4 m
